PYLON IN A TEAPOT The PYLON standing on the northeast corner of the Highland High School lot is probably the most well-known structure in Salt Lake City. If the space that has been and will be allotted to it in local publications were computed and devoted to commercial use it would total to much more than 5900 which is the cost of the PYLON. Why all' the fuss? Has anyone ever taken the trouble to find out the WHY of the PYLON? This controversial Egyptian archetype is in a natural setting calling attention to a "temple, palance, or other large building" in this instance a school which, while rather bleak at present, will when finished be a magnificent temple of learning quite worthy of the Beehive states traditional tra-ditional educational aims. True, one must have the power to envision en-vision its future glory many months hence and perhaps all that vision is in the school department and the architect. Also, each day an average of about three thousand two hundred cars come into the valley over 21st South. Thirty-five per cent of them, are out-of-state cars carrying carry-ing an average of about three persons per-sons per car. The suggestion of the architect concurred in by the school department Was that this was an ideal way to call their attention to what soon will be, though is not just now, a princely palace for our youth. And that is just what it will be if you can envision Highland High in its finished landscaped setting. |
