This turn of events leaves the college administration with these three alternatives : Yearbook Staff fleets Deadline Yearbook staff members can be seen running around screaming, "Tempest fusion" as 48 pages are due at the printers by the end of this month. Section editors for the first group of pages, Antoinette Wyatt and Carolyn Handley, are using their time in writing editorials and identifying' student and faculty pictures. Over 400 students will haVe individual pictures in the yearbook in the class section. Carolyn and Antoinette must put these pictures in alphabetical order and arrange for any group pictures for their section. Helping Carolyn and Antoinette are Carole Wheeler, Lois Hussman and Donna Cook. Other section editors have begun work so they can meet their' later deadlines. Tom Quinn is doing much of the writing for the book while Kaz Shio is handling layout .and cover design. Joan Forsgren is club editor; Larry Tomlinson, athletics, and Ann Holmstrom, activities. Editor Tom Jones and Associate Editor Audrey Jones must go over all sections before they are sent to the printer to check for errors and general appearance. Business Manager Stan Brewer is selling advertising for the 1!." book. With extra money from advertising the staff can put out a somewhat larger book than appeared last year. 'Blossom Time' fiear Completion The sparkling wit and tantalizing music of Sigmund Romberg's musical. Blossom Time, will be presented on the stage of the Ogden Hie-h School auditorium March ! and 10. Ambitious in its scope, the only musical production of the year gathers the talent of several departments and many students in a performance which will impress all with the spirit of mirth. The clear voice of Heber Jentzsch as Schober and the fine soprano voice of Delores Anderson as Bel- ' labruna, Primadonna, will be rec ognized and remembered, for this is the story of the life of one of our greatest composers, Franz Schubert. The setting is in old Vienna in the year 1820. Gayly colored costumes will deck the stage and chorus members will be singing catchy tunes which are keyed to please the audience. Glenn L. Hanson, managing director, and H. E. D. Redford, stage director, nromise that this will be lone of the most outstanding operas I yet produced in this area. fration 1 The possibility of not constructing the building; partially completing the planned structure and finishing it as soon as funds are available; or redesign the building completely and ask for new bids. Proposed plans to meet with the StateBoard of Education did not materialize last week as expected so at this writing the whole issue is still up in the air according to Dr. Robert A. Clark, Dean of Faculty.The State Legislature had originally set aside $525,000 for the construction but when bids were opened the lowest figure was submitted by the Alfred Brown Company of Salt Lake City at $lif-l,28X The first alternative, that of not completing the building, has not been considered said Dr. Clark. However, unless the funds are made available at this time the other two alternatives will be given serious thought by President Miller. This is not the only example of estimates being inaccurate recently, there have been many statewise discrepancies, including an original estimate of $:50,00i on an addition to Central Junior High which received a low bid of $5;l,0O0.
