irbirattnu Dedicated to Our Fel low Teachers o[ the Jordan High School. We scatter seeds by the wayside, Nor look where the germs may fall; We think our task is finished, Before we cover them all. We strain ancllook for the harvest, Ere the seed has had time to sprout; And mope. or grow surly, and angered' Then bera tc ourselves or doubt. rr we're sc if conceitcrl, we question The soi l where the seed was sown; If we're over conscientious, In sci f abasement we moan. Now, the soil may br deep and fertile,\, Here sha ll ow and poor ly spread, Yet the harvest we anx ious ly look for Must show the s·une perfect head. Oh, when will the sower cover, The seeds he must scatter with care! Oh, when will the planter's patience, Bide the harvest of God's s nn and air. - ll. M. Aird.

J'orrmnr~ In presenting Volume Ten, the \"Decenial Is-sue,\" of the Jordan Courier, we have tried to depictthe interests that exist in the Jordan High School-those in the course of ten years, from beginning toend. This school year has been an interesting andeventful one. Every student has been involved in some taskwell worth recording. Our success is to be measured by your appreci-ation. Your year has been successful; we hope ourbook has been the same.-Editors.

OLD JORDAN HIGH SCHOOLNEW JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL

irtrn.aprrt---Wrtt lrars We are on the home stretch of the tenth year in the life of theJordan IIigh School since its establishment in Sandy and Bingham.Enoch Jorgensen of Provo, Utah, principal; Ross Anderson of Eph-raim, Utah, and Alberta Vv. Brown of Salt Lake City, were the teach-ers in Sandy, and Eugene C. Hart of Bloomington, Idaho, had chargeof the work at Bingham under the direction of the principal. Thesdwols of the Jordan district including the high school began regu-lar work Wednesday, Sept. 9, 1908, Monday the 7th was Labor Day,and Tuesday the 8th the teachers met in regular institute at Sandywhere they were banqueted at the expense of the district. Fifty-one Freshmen and seven Sophomores entered school thef1rst week in Sandy, and twelve Freshmen began work in Bingham. Among the many interesting features of that initial year are thefollowing: September 15th the faculty met and organized and decided tomeet each week to discuss school business. Arrangements weremade, also. so the principal could make regular trips to Bingham tohelp and encourage teachers and students there. The principal and Mr. Anderson made a canvass of the entiredistrict and visited the homes of all students of the school. Octob r 16th a get-acquainted party was held in the Sandy wardhouse, where all the parents and school officials were guests of theteachers and stud nts. Novemh r 1st the school played its first game of football atAmerican Fork with the high school boys of that town. Ross Ander-son was manager and E. Berg Jorgensen, coach. December 5th our first dancing party was held. During the yearthe school gave a series of ocials and dances with two objects inview, viz: First, to create and keep alive a social spirit; second, toaccumulate funds to carry on our athletics, for in those earlier yearswe neither asked for nor received subsidy from the Board of Edu-cation to carry on school activities. Jan. 17, 1909, the first of a cries of public lectures, supplementedby musical selections, was given in the district by the High · School.Their order v., as as follows: January 17, at Sandy, hy Supt.
