Jordan's halls resound with theechoes made by all who havepassed through her corridors. Tradi-tions in the making - Beetdiggershave been going strong since 1910.We're proud! and we've made it thisfar because: WE'VE GOT THEBEET. But who are we? We are the students of JordanHigh School. We are a school thatwas erected in the early lSK:X:rs andhas gradually made changes to be-come what it is today. We are aplace that has grown from a smallcommunity of beet farmers to what isnow one of the largest school dis-tricts in Utah. We are the Beetdig-gers of Jordan High. Of all the schools in the valley,Jordan's symbol. the Beetdigger,stands out more than any other. It isthe most unconventional in the state.Ours is not only different; it goesentirely against the grain; and for agood reason.2/0pening

When Jordan was a young schoolthe area was covered with beetfields and the majority of the stu-dents lived on beet farms. This beet1s not the smalL red, variety we growin our gardens and eat diced, sliced,or pickled. It is a sugar beet. Thesugar beet was the main form of pro-duction in the area around early Jor-dan. These large, while beets had tobe dug out of the ground, lopped,loaded on a truck and hauled to fac-tories where they were processedmlo sugar. In order for the harvesl-mg to be done in lime, the schoolused to have \"harvest days\" wherethe students would be dismissed tohelp the local farmers harvest thebeets. Even now each new student-body officer, head cheerleader andsongleader as well as new admimsta-lor, lops the beet in a special cere-mony to commemorate the lifestyleof our ancestors and the very foun-dation of our school. To change ouremblem would lx> to shun everyth-mg that Jordan IS made of. Everywhere you look there's aspecial something called \"Diggerpnde\", from football to basketball toeven a long gruehng h1story class.We are people who care about oth-ers, tying together a sort of family liewhich neighboring schools envy:seventy years of winning tradition,seventy years of Digger pride. Thou-sands of successful people havegraduated from Jordan. Several ofour teachers are alumm as well asmany parents and grandparents ofstudents attending Jordan now. Astudent is ageless. Yearbooks from)J years ago show the same expres-sions, the same hopes, ambitions,and fears. There is never a genera-lion gap between students. They un-derstand and support each other.It's a great comfort to know thatsomebody, either )J years ago, orthe day before, or someone in thefuture, slipped (continued) ()pemng/3

on the icy steps in the middle of winter with a dress on. You are not alone in the world if you are a Jordan High Beetdigger. Today we are a new kind of Beetdigger. The fields have been metropolized by houses, streets and buildings, and many of us have only seen a sugar beet in that special opening assembly, but we still know who we are. We are the new beet generation. No green stains on our hands, we wear designer jeans and our football helmets are constructed of crash proof plastic, not leather. We drive cars to school, not horse and buggy. We thrive on fast· foods McDonalds and Wendy Burgers. Our school dances, now called stomps, would have once meant ballroom or square dancing. Even the beat of our music has changed from Beethoven to rock and roll. The most important thing is that the spirit of the old beetdigger remains intact in the hearts of the studentbody of today. It's our kind of studentbody that all schools heed. We don't need a new building or fancy equipment to get a good education; we just need teachers and students who care and are willing to work together to do the things we're here for. Nobody who enters our school can fail to be impressed by the raging spirit evident. Even the teachers possess it. No other school gets so much support at football games, basketball games, gymnastic meets or any other event we participate in: horne or away. Our teachers can always be seen with their families, cheering Jordan on. Our students and their families are always giving a cheer for the Beetdiggers, and somehow the opposing schools can never cheer so loud.4/0penmg

70 Vedrs It's that special essence of Jordan that makes us so proud, the\\!inning very essence that is captured inTrddition the architecture of our building. When people say, \"Why would you want to go to an old school like Jordan?\", we feel the question should be: who wouldn't want to go to Jordan? Never again will schools of such beauty and style be built now that the only consideration is function and capac1ly. LikewiSe, it wUl be a long time before such great traditions can be established in a new facility. A school is more than a building; it's a studentbody who is willing to make something of themselves. If someone or something tried to change all that trad1hon for something cold and new, it would never be the same. This is the life of a modern Beetdigger. The people have changed; the styles have changed too; but our traditions are still here and they show in our attitudes and how we conduct our lives. We have a name to hve up to. We can't let II down. A Jordan High student doesn't fail in his loyalty to the beetdigger or to himself. We're proud of the name we carry. Everytime we see a sugar beet the great memories of all the good limes come back because we were the Beetdiggers, and these are the things we will always remember about Jordan High School.

The Spice In Our Day Among all of the classes olfered at Jordan, It was the elechves that added spice and variety to a student's curnculum.

If this did not describe the qualities your schedule had, have heart - exciting courses could be found if you knew where to look and the freedom of choice is still yours, so take your pick and live it up next year! Performing arts were among the most interesting and satisfying classes a student could take.
