icell o, Utah WELCOME! To the Monticello High School Alumni Association First Quintennial (to be held@ 5 years) BUCKAROO ROUNDUP! We your Executive Board & Officers express appreciation to everyone who has worked so hard this past four years to make this event happen. Particularly we thank the Class Representatives from the 1st graduating Class of '29 to the last graduating class of 2000 for working so hard to update each Class Roster and get the information to us for publication in the Master MHS Alumni Roster. We ask all alumni to help us update each Buckaroo entry by advising us of changes in: addresses, names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, marriages, spouse names, and deaths and any other information important to MHS Alumni. Every five years we expect to have an Alumni Association Reunion. We also want to announce that San Juan High School is working to form their Alumni Association and we expect to have a joint Monticello High, San Juan High reunion in the summer of 2003. If you have any ideas, suggestions or are willing to serve on one of our many committees, please let one of us know: Clayson Wells "Chris" Lyman '54 -President - Phone: [phone], FAX: [phone] - [e-mail] 493 Bougainvillea Lane, Glendora, CA 91741 Phil Houghton '56- Vice President: Electronics - [phone] P.O.

Over the hills comes the echo of our High School Song, Serging along o'er the mountains cross the vale. Our hearts and souls and voices blending a thousand strong, Singing of days when brightly burned the fires of youth, That never shall fail. To our High School days, We will praise --Dear old High School hail --One name on the lips of every son, One word to cherish forever. One place in the rising sun, living on 'til our high school days are through. One cord binds us ever close to thee, One that the years ne'er shall sever. One pledge 'til eternity, M.H.S. TO YOU!

For the brand "LC" I ride, With sleeper calves on the side, I'll own the "Hip-side-and Shoulder" When I grow older, Zapatero, don't tan my hide! Chorus Blue Mountain, you 're azure deep. Blue Mountain with side so steep, Blue Mountain with Horse Head on your side, You have won my love to keep. I chum with Latigo Gordon, I drink at the Blue Goose saloon, I dance all night with the Mormon girls, And ride home beneath the moon. I trade at Mons's store With bullet holes in the door; His calico treasure, My horse can measure, When I'm drunk and feeling sore. Chorus Yarn Gallus with his long rope, Doc Few-Clothes without any soap, In the little green valley, Have made their sally And for Slicks there's still some hope. In the summer time its fine, In the winter the wind doth whine, But say, dear brother, If you want a mother, There's "EV" on the old chuck line.

How great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee, How great thou art! How great thou art! When thru the woods and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze, Chorus And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in, That on the cross my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin, Chorus When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, "My God, how great thou art! Chorus Benediction: F.

EARLY HISTORY OF MONTICELLO HIGH SCHOOL Late in 1912, George A. Adams, a member of the San Juan School Board, went to Utah State Agricutural College seeking a young man to open up the high school in Monticello. John A. Widstoe, President of the College, encouraged H. Lloyd Hansen to accept the challenge, and so he did, sight unseen. After a train ride to Thompson Springs and a long, dusty bus ride, Lloyd arrived in Monticello, a town of 300 people, in time/or the opening of school in 1913. With rain falling and streets muddy, it was not a promising beginning. Hefound ... George Adams and asked to see the high school .. .Informed that there was only a small, makeshift elementary school building (later known as the San Juan Record Building), with no rooms/or high school students, ... Lloyd later ... told his wife that if a bus had been going back to Salt Lake City that day, he would have been on it. Finding five small barrels of ink and no paper ... school opened on time in the courthouse with borrowed benches and twelve students. It was a red letter day. Lloyd taught English, civics, history, and mathematics. On February 25, 1916, it was resolved that a special tax should be levied upon all taxable property of the district/or the building and furnishing of schoolhouses. In addition, an $8,000 indebtedness was to be incurred by the issue and sale of negotiable bonds for the building of a schoolhouse in Monticello ... In the summer of 1918 Lloyd became both Principal and teacher at Monticello High School. In 1923 he was also made Superintendent with an annual salary of $2,000. With this new responsibility, Lloyd had several goals: 1) personally interview prospective teachers, 2) standardize and improve salaries, 3) raise the district's credit rating and establish sound fin ancial procedures, 4) renovate, repair and construct school buildings, 5) provide an education for every eligible child, 6) expand curriculum and improve teaching methods. Teachers usually boarded with local families, sharing a room with children and often walking a mile or more to school. The winters were bitter with high winds and snow. In spite of Lloyd's admonition no to get involved with the local cowboys and ranchers, many young women teachers fell in love and married. Even though there were restrictions against hiring married women as teachers, they were often drafted back into the classroom. At the March 21, 1925 School Board meeting, Lloyd introduced the following monthly salary schedule for teachers which was approved: One year of college training $85.00 Two years of normal college $95.00 $110. 00 Three years of college Bachelor's degree $130.00 It was further proposed that annual "steps' of salary advancement be judged by scholarship, successful teaching experience, and growth in teaching ability, all of course, dependent on the district's ability to pay. During 1934 through 1936, the Monticello High School addtion cost $12,431.04. Monticello had its first/our-year high school graduation in 1929 with ten students completing their studies: Nina Barton, Ila Burr, Leon Adams, Donald Blake, Riddell Barton, Wilamelia Frost, Elva Cooper, Bess Miller, Warren Bronson and De Vaughan Jones. In 1943 at age 55, Lloyd Hansen retired. He had served/or 30 years as an educator and administrator in the district. While temporarily living in Salt Lake City with his wife, Lloyd was asked to return to teach mathematics at Monticello High School. Although he was in poor health, and'the State Office of Education informed him that if he went back to teaching he would lose his retirement, he turned to his wife Kate and said, "But how can I turn my students down?" He went back. His career had gone full circle. On November 18, 1944, he died of a heart attack while hunting in the Blue Mountains. In th.e Monticello High School newsletter, The Lariat, a student, Helen Klair Redd '46, associate editor wrote: "On November 1 s'h of this year we lost our beloved teacher, Mr. H. Lloyd Hansen. Not only did Mr. Hansen tirelessly put forth his efforts and knowledge in our school/or nearly thirty years as a teacher and county superintendent, but one year after he retired, he took the postion of mathematics and agriculture instructor, to relieve the teacher shortage. How fortunate we students were to have him teach and guide us for eleven short weeks. We will never forget his interest in the students and their problems, his wonderful sense of humor, his wisdom and knowledge, his kind personality and personal integrity, and his influence in our lives. But most of all, we will never forget the fact that we loved Mr. Hansen, not only as a teacher, but as a man." Note: This information about H. Lloyd Hansen is taken from Volume 9/Winter 1991 of Blue Mountain Shadows, an article written by Mr. Hansen's daughter, Frances Hansen Hoopes titled: H. Lloyd Hansen 1923-1942 The following article is also taken from Blue Mountain Shadows, excerpted from Muhlstein, Harold George and Faye Lunceford. Monticello Journal. Monticello, 1988. Pages 195 and 196: "An Adventure in Education" by Beth Summers August 25, 1927 was a great day that I will never forget. I was leaving home to an unknown place to be on my own. After graduating from two years at Weber College in Odgen, Utah, and receiving a five-year elementary teacher's certificate, Superintendent H. Lloyd Hansen hired me to teach in San Juan County. My contract stipulated that I would receive $85 per month for nine month's teaching. There would be pay for sick leave or any other reason for missing a day of school. If a teacher did not conduct herself in a respectable manner in the community, she would be released from her position. If a young woman married during the school term, her contract would be cancelled. If the school board was not satisfied with the quality of her teaching, the teacher would be dismissed. There was no insurance or retirement benefit program for teachers. If the teacher's work was satisfactory there would be an increase of $5 a month in pay. That day in August, it was exciting to be among the throngs ofpeople in the Union Station in Salt Lake City, with the costumed conductor, brakemen, Negro porters, and the travelers bustling - some coming and some going. At 6:30 a.m. the brakeman called "all aboard," and I hurriedly bid my family and friends, "bye" and entered the coach of bright red plush seats. In no time I heard and felt the chug-chugchug and a jerk, and I was on my way to Thompson, Utah, in the southeastern part of the state. At Thistle, Utah, the steam engine was serviced, and another locomotive was added to the train to push from the rear in order that there would be power to climb to Soldier Summit. At the typical railroad town the extra locomotive was removed. The beautiful scenery continued to Price as we went through tunnels and the famous "Castle Gate." At Helper, the train and coal car was again loaded with coal and water. Leaving Price, the heat became uncomfortable, but if one opened a window, smoke and cinders would blow in the coach. How bare the vegetation of the desert was! The Mancos shale mounds along the way reminded me of wrinkled elephant skin. The train blew a whistle as we neared Thompson. Superintendent Hansen was at the station to meet the teachers. He informed me that we had yet to travel 100 miles before we reached Monticello. The time was 4:00 p.m. Other cars were also to pick up passengers going to Moab, Monticello, and Blanding. In a sturdy high centered car, Mr. Hansen took Misses Jessie Bradshaw, Ruby West, Reta Page (Bailey, Bartell) and Elizabeth Kelly (Summers). The travelers were fascinated with the reddish brown and purple rocks silhouetted against the sunset. Moab was a beautiful place with the Colorado River and lush vegetation. The winding dirt roads, up hills and down dugways,frightened the young women sometimes. As there were no bridges, the old Dodge car plowed into the wash with water up to the dashboard. The young women were interested in the names that the early pioneers gave the landmarks, such as "Looking Glass Rock," "Mollie's Nipples," "Sugar Loaf Rock," "Wind Whistle Rock," "Mule Shoe," "Part of the Road," "Big Indian," and "Dimmy John." (A Dimmy John is a crockery bottle with a cork, often used in those days to hold ciders or liquor. Some local residents objected to the name for the landmark and came up with a more religious one. The landmark is now known as "Church Rock.'? Going through Dry Valley, there was a big gully with ledges on each side. It was impossible to go through, so they chopped a road around from one ledge to the other. This was called "The Horseshoe." Not too long after we began the trek to Monticello, we became weary of traveling over snaking, sandy trails. After climbing up Peter's Hill from the bottom we saw a light. "ls this Monticello?" "No," our driver answered. "We have to go six miles further." At nine-thirty we arrived at the home of Emma Wood where we were to room and board for the coming year. The trip from Thompson to Monticello had taken five and one-half hours. Before regular school began, Superintendent Lloyd Hansen, with the members of the San Juan County Board of Education, met with the teachers to become acquainted and to present the program and the policies of the district. There were thirty-five teachers assembled, and about fifteen of their number were to teach in oneroom schools. San Juan County had more one-room schools than any other county in the state. These schools were provided if there were seven or more pupils in the area who needed tutoring in grades one through eight. The teachers who taught in the one-room schools usually lived with a farm family. Often times they were required to sleep with the children. Each teacher was also required to build the fire in the school house so it would be warm for the children. She was expected to do janitor service, too. Most likely she would have to walk to school. One young lady told me that a howling mountain lion followed her to school one morning. The Monticello school was a one-story brick building located where the city park is now. There were five big rooms for the elementary grades and three for the high school. Two small rooms were provided for a music room and a principal's office. Each room was calcimined a creamy tan and black-boards were provided on two walls for the children. The rooms facing south were sunny and provided heat in the winter while the steam heating unit could not even warm the high school rooms. The rest rooms and the furnace room were downstairs at the east end of the building. The big, gray-blue gymnasium had a hardwood floor which was marked offfor basketball games. At the west end was an elevated stage where drama, operettas, and any special displays or entertainment for the public were given. Dancing seemed the preferred form of recreation. A dance was held every night except Sunday night. The gymnasium held county fair displays, U.S.Agriculture College workshops, political rallies, and banquests. Adult recreation programs were provided in the wintertime. In fact, any large civic or church function used the gym. Even a funeral was held there. A beloved teacher, Mrs. Maud A. Palmer, was killed when she fell as she was going downstairs to the basement. Married women were usually not permitted to teach in our schools. The exception was Mrs. Maude Palmer, whose family had all married and her husband had retired from the Forest Service. County schools did not provide a lawn, a tree or a bush for the school yard. No member of the faculty nor any student had a car. From Willie Frost Barton '29 we received the following information: In 1925-26 MHS bought new basketball suits- white with blue birds and blue numbers and Monticello written on them. The team name was Bluebirds and the school song was "White & Blue." The outstanding teacher was Mrs. Maude A. Palmer, the Principal was Max L. Gowans, commonly known as "Skipper." Andy Borgenson taught music and we had a high school band. The basketball team traveled to Blanding, Moab and Greenriver. The A Team included: Leon Adams, Lloyd Barton - center, Warren Bronson, Joe Cooper, De Vaughn Jones and Joe Enriquez. The B Team included: Ben Enriquez, Carl Allred, Marvin Dalton, Asa Laws, Daryle Redd and Loile Bailey This is the story of a basket ball game between the Monticello Blue Birds and the Blanding High School team which occurred in January 1929. The snow was about two feet deep and a large sleigh was used to make the trip from Monticello to Blanding. Lloyd Barton was the tallest boy in the class and was the center on the team. The coach was Principal Max L. Gowans whom the team respected and loved. Lloyd was in charge of the sleigh and drove the horses. Two girls were invited to go along and they were Willie Frost and Warren's younger sister, Cleone Bronson. It was a pleasant, sunny, winter day as we left town early in the morning. We rode the sleigh down and walked up all the hills, joking, laughing and throwing snow balls at each other, while the horses plodded along at an even pace and rested at intervals. When we arrived in Blanding the boys were all guests of the Blanding team members and Cleone and I stayed with her Aunt Lucy Adams who was very loving and kind to us. We really appreciated her warm welcome. I am sorry but I can't remember which team won the game that evening. We had such a wonderful trip and meeting those new people, that the ball game seemed less important some how. The most exciting part was a lovely party at the home of Lawrence Palmer to which all of us were invited after the game. Lawrence was one of Lloyd's good friends and I think he was the center player on the Blanding team. His mother graciously welcomed us and served delicious oyster soup and crackers. It was so good and it was the first time I had tasted oysters! The good food andJun games and socializing with our Blanding rivals remains a very fond memory. On the following bright, sunny, cold winter day, we all said goodbye to our Blanding friends and climbed on our sleigh to return safely to our homes in Monticello that afternoon. Although very tired, all of us were in a happy mood and this has been a most fun memory of that 1929 high school year and of being a member of the first class to graduate from Monticello High School. Note: Willie Frost and Lloyd Barton were married and raised a large family of Buckaroos. Their son Robert Lee "Bob" - Class of '54, was also the tallest boy in the school his senior year and was the center on the basketball team. Unhappily, he and Marge Redd, a beloved school teacher, were killed in a tragic car accident in February 1954 as they returned from a basketball trip to North and South Emery. Others in the car that night included Walter Svedin -Ag Teacher, like Marge, loved by all the students and the following other students who were all badly injured: Jerry Edwards, Dave Sommerville, Robert Sparks, Arita Redd, Beverly Jones and Betty Jean Pearson.
