Whenever we go through the yearbooks of Nephi High/Juab High School, we prefer to show the photos and accomplishments of all students. However, since the computer gurus have modified how I did the 579 history blogs I have written, I can no longer do that. So until this old man figures out the new systems, we wanted to at least praise the school administration, then give this yearbook to the Utah Daughters of Utah Pioneer Museum in Nephi, Utah so that all can check out each of the Seniors as some may recognize the names. I pay special tribute to the teachers and school administration as they may have had it rough to keep the Seniors positive. Some of the kids had lost their fathers doing World War I, then the Great Depression hit in 1929, then when it recovered, World War Two starts and off to war we go again, fighting for freedom of others. The swimming pool used to be below where the County Agent's office is now in the County Complex building. Main Sports were basketball and Tennis and swimming. I pay tribute to the School staff and the difficult lives those Seniors were faced with. This writer became friends with James H. Ockey, George A. Sperry, Maurice Chase and Harry Beagley, who was a substitute teacher for those of us in Ag. in the 1960's. We must honor history to understand our present problems, so says me.
