Where the rocky ridges rise, Where the red-rimmed rock in silent strength Seems to pierce the skies. I'll climb its ledges up to the blue; I'll climb until I find relief, and strength and solace too, From the barriers of the mind. For it's the Barrier, mighty Barrier, Rising high above the land. Where the lone wind sighs to the vaulted skies, To the - sage and the drifting sand.

Boyer As near as I can tell from family records and histories, the John S. Boyer Home was built in 1887. In John S. Boyer' s history he states that because of his growing family, they decided they must have a larger home. John, his oldest son, was married in 1889 and from his history we know that his wife, Susan Jarrett ,was working for Mrs. Boyer, John S. Boyer's wife, before they were married, so we conclude the house is around ninety years old. Mr. Boyer had his sons built the house. They went to the canyons and cut the timber and brought it .to Springville, where they had it cut into lumber. Part of this they used in the house and part of it they traded for adobe and brick. Before the death of Oscar Boyer, the son, he said there was very little cash spent on the home -only for doors, windows, nails, and shingles. He said that when his father went to settle his tithing, the bishop felt that if he could live in such a good house, he should pay more tithing, but when Mr. Boyer explained just how things were, he conlcuded that he was honest and right. The house was built over a rock foundation 18 inches thick and deep into the ground. The walls are 11 inches thick, made of large adobe and lined with red brick. There are two roms in the basement, five on the ground floor, and four upstairs. This was one of the first houses in Springville to, have electric lights and running run-ning water. They had two artesian wells. One they had piped into the house. I LM rr- MjHliiilnMi u i.m,njL ' -,-..- -,-- j.&i A.... A. LaRell and Yvonne Johnson, this year's couple in charge of the Ball, are being assisted with refreshments by Hortense Harward, publicity by Martin and Pat Conover, invitations by Louise Clyde, and decorations by Sydna i Strong. Going along with the theme, there will be displays of Renaissance instruments by Homer Wakefield, Mapleton; bhakespeare's Globe Theater Model and .John S. Boyer Home Boyer home John S. Boyer lived in the house until 1925 when he passed away. It was his request that his grandson M. Oscar Boyer have the place for $25 hundred, as they had helped to care for him for quite a while. After they bought the place, Oscar completely wired it for electricity, installed a furnace, built kitchen cabinets, finished two' bath rooms, made a large door between the living Art in 'Art City' If there is a special season for art in the "Art City" it is spring. Not only does the Annual An-nual April Show attract thousands of visitors to the Art Museum, but the High Schools of Utah Show, : the Nebo School District Show, and the annual Quilt Show are also on exhibit there from March through June. At the Senior Citizens Center, painting classes (taught by Inez Chader), along with several, other courses, are producing works by local artists. In the Art Museum, works by leading Utah County artists are available for sale or rent in the Guild Rental-Sales Gallery upstairs. Classes at the museum include pottery, painting and drawing.
