(Tell that ' to Mother Nature!) What did you do over the long holiday? How do you spend your free time? You may be surprised that over one hundred years ago, people in Park City enjoyed a lot of the same things we do today. Life wasn't always easy around the turn of the century - infant mortality was high and average life expectancy hung in the mid408, and was even lower in mining communities. Amateur photographer Charles Prisk (standing in tent) recorded the lives of the Perrys, Prisks, and McDonalds: three families united by marriage, friendship, and these photographs. Why are these photos so special? Until Kodak designed a portable camera in 1892, obtaining a photo of yourself involved going to a portrait studio where you posed in your best clothing. Though it is now very nice to have photos of our ancestors looking their best, the images do not give us much insight into their lives: where they lived, what they ate, or how they dressed on any given day. Prisk's photos allow us to be a fly on his wall and help us to better understand how some Park City families lived. Whether playing board games, cross-dressing, fishing, camping, or hanging out with the girls, how they amused themselves may not be too different from how we spend our free time in 2010. The photos in this collection come from scrapbooks handed down to the grandchildren of Prisk's sister-inlaw Emma and her husband Frank McDonald. Emma later broke down and was hospitalized after her husband's tragic death m 1915. However, the years surrounding 1900, documented in these family photos, were happier times.

Kass told graduates that their Alfred University education has prepared them for today's world. "The times are different" today than 40 years ago when he graduated, but students today will be "molded by your experience at Alfred," just as he was, Kass assured the graduates. "You will adapt and contribute to these changing times. Be part of the debate, contribute. Don't be an island, become part of the process," said Kass. "That's the responsibility of every graduate today." Marines honored The United States Marine Core honored two Park City High School graduates. Captain Jonathan Geisler and Captain Burr Ferguson, both graduated from PCHS in 1999 ad 1998 respectively. Both pilots recently graduated from the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course on May 16 in Yuma. Arizona.
