UVSC has a new indoor in-door drumline performing throughout February. "We performed for the Governor and the bill signing party last March as a test run," said Dave Fullmer, associate professor profes-sor in the music depart ment. "It was incredibly successful and we decided to formally organize it." . Currently, the drumline consists of approximately 20 students. The group performs on a basketball court, basically as a marching march-ing band but without the rest of the band. "We are the only university uni-versity in Utah that has an indoor drumline," said Fullmer. "We started it up because we don't have a marching band and wanted students to have a chance to continue their progress in music education." The drumline's next performance per-formance is Saturday, Feb. 23, at Spanish Fork High School. Other high school performances are scheduled sched-uled to follow.

Business was attended to and Camp Canyon Sunset presented this month's program. Members of the camp shared pioneer love stories sto-ries taken from their own family histories. Susan Bartholomew told about Charlotte Elizabeth Eliza-beth Mellor, who came to America on the ship Ho rizon. Her mother gave . birth to twins in Liver-in Liver-in pool, England, before the is ship sailed. Both babies in died. Her mother was in a weakened conditioned and in by the time they started across the plains with the handcart company her father fa-ther was also ill and weak. The children took turns pushing the handcarts. By the time the companies compa-nies were rescued, many were suffering from fro-. fro-. zen limbs. When they ar rived in the valley they were taken into the homes of the people to be nursed back to health. Suzanna Roper took Charlotte. Su-zanna's Su-zanna's son, John Henry Roper, carried her in from the wagon. They were later lat-er married. He recorded in his journal that he looked into her eyes as he carried her in that day and felt it was love at first sight. The story of Jane McK-innon McK-innon and Archibald Mc-Fail Mc-Fail was shared by Myrna Kantor. Also handcart pioneers, they came from Scotland, losing two of their four children on the ocean crossing. Archibald was a called to lead a group of 20 families in the Willie handcart company. com-pany. Among those were two older women who often of-ten fell behind. He would faithfully go looking for them. On one occasion, he searched for one of them and found her sitting on the other side of the frozen fro-zen Strawberry Creek, which the company had already crossed. She refused to go on, so he picked her up and carried car-ried her. While crossing the creek, the ice broke and he sunk to his waist in freezing water. By the time he arrived at camp he was terribly cold. Jane did everything she could to warm him but he became ill and she soon knew he would not recover. She lit a tallow candle and sat by his side praying the candle would not go out as long as he remained alive. The candle went out as he took his last breath. Susan Bradford recounted recount-ed the story of Newell Knight and Lydia Goldth-waite. Goldth-waite. Lydia had experienced experi-enced a tragic marriage with a man who was abusive abu-sive and an alcoholic. She had two children, Rosan-na, Rosan-na, the eldest, and Edwin, who died shortly after birth. Her husband left her two weeks after Edwin Ed-win died. She went home to live with her parents, and there her little Rosan-na Rosan-na died. Her parents sent her to live with friends in Canada.' Cana-da.' It was there she was taught the gospel by Joseph Jo-seph Smith and Sydney Rigdon. She embraced it and went to Kirtland where she boarded with Hyrum and Jerusha Smith. Boarding with them also was Newell Knight. They were both painfully shy, but eventually fell in love and married. Theirs was the first wedding ceremony ceremo-ny that Joseph Smith personally per-sonally performed. A little different twist to the typical love poem was written by John Steele to his newborn daughter, Young Elizabeth Steele, shared by her great-granddaughter, Francien Jones. ". . . .My pretty little young one Oh, wither do you roam Or, where are you a-going So early in the morn. . . Young Elizabeth Steele was the first child born in the valley, on August 9, 1847, after the saints arrived. ar-rived. Her parents, John Steel and Catherine Campbell, Camp-bell, arrived in Salt Lake with the sick detachment of the Mormon Battalion shortly after the first company com-pany arrived.. The poem, in a later stanza, also confirms the fact that she was named after Brigham Young. The next DUP Company meeting will be held on Mar. 6, at 20 p.m., in the council room of the city office building. Camp Maple Ma-ple Mountain will present the program.
