THIS AND THAT-POSTCARDS AND PHOTOS COVERING MORE THAN A CENTURY.

Ancient History was once young, and as such we are presenting various cards; photos and "goonies" that helped a Utah Governor at one time. Some of them have the needed notes by them, such as the Alumni Mid-Year Ball of Nephi High. Not sure who it was sent to, but has various names on the back which include Victor Jones of Nephi. The old high school is used as a County "Complex" and now 100 years old, even though a "Complex" School Board said it was too old a half century ago. According to Cotton Rosser, their was only one real cowboy when interviewed in New York, and to the newcomers, Thermoid was an important employer during and after World War Two, and a whistle that we may be late for school. The 1959 photo reveals a kid who just got away with something and 64 years later, he still pulls pranks, but just older and no longer able to roll down the school concrete stairs. During one of the yearly "Alma Jones Treks", one of our caravan of trucks got stuck, so a herd of Jones' had to change the course of the Colorado to get out. And yes, New Years Eve was the time I would shave my beard and head while listening to 8 tracks and trying to understand the meaning of "BEER-Helping Ugly People Have Sex Since 1862". I had two kids, so may have drank beer twice in my life!
