Show B. Y. U. sponrs x By ROBERT HALES With the summer months rolling past, time comes once more to think of going back to school. The opening day of school is awaited anxiously by the scholars and girls who yearn for a good gossip session. The boys of the high school are waiting for autumn and the football season. The thought of coming back to old B. Y. High means hot football practices and chilling games, not lessons and teachers to the fellows. School holds much more than just football -- there is basketball and baseball, too. For a person who is ready for thrills and excitement, school won't hold a dull minute for them. Football Glimpses The outlook on the future ol the Wildcat football team is better this year than it has been since the school entered their first eleven-ma- n team in 1944. With Owen Dixion, newly appointed lootball coach, and Dave Crow-to- n working with the squad, the hopes are high. Both Owen and Dave are tops on the ins and outs in the working of the The team will be built around a galaxy of lettermen from last seasons team. Headed by hard hitting fullback, Captain Reed Stalworthy, a fast moving team is expected to shape up into winning material. With a full schedule, the fans are expected to see plenty of action. Summer Star The star for the summer is racket swinging Bob Kirkpatrick. Bob has been playing tennis most of the summer and has had a whack at just about every major tennis tournament in the state this season. Bob received the winners cup in both the Utah .Valley and the Salt Iake City open tournament this summer. In between these Bob manages to keep in practice by playing all oncomers on vhe local clay courts. He is now planning to journey to Denver to enter the Colorado State tournament. So the star for the summer is the boy who keeps right on winning the whole year around.

What gives one a feeling ot loyalty, more than the sight ot blue and white clad boys on the basketball floor? Ever since the school was founded the colors have been blue and white. The high school is a division of the Brigham Young University and has always been a vital part of it.

They plan to put the teams of B. Y. High in the 100 per cent brackets. N Farrell Mid:en has big plans for the coming year. When interviewed, he answered our questions about the coming year with his usual enthusiastic spirit, and outlined some of his plans for us. To quote a part of his letter to the newspaper staff: "Needless to say I am anticipating eagerly the opening of school tins fall. My hopes for Y High Music are: (1) that every student who desires it can get the most enjoyable and efficient instrumental music in- slruction that it is possible for a high school to have, (2) that there will be many students who will desire the thrill of learning to play an instrument, and (3) that this instruction and interest will result very soon in organiza- tions of which everyone can be proud. I am supremely confident that these hopes can be achieved. 1 believe that the ability to ac- eomplish them is available and that what we need most is suffi- cient enthusiasm and determina- tion. Our first step will be developing a good band. For achieving this, the motto of all interested might be: Its a date for 48.
