A Peek into the Past

My sister found an old photo album our mother had from when she attended Logan Academy in Utah during her freshman and sophomore years from 1932 - 1934. We've often heard her speak fondly of her time at this boarding school and it was fun to see the pictures of her classmates and teachers.

I thought how much others might enjoy these pictures. There must be sons and daughters, and grandchildren who would love to see the images of when these women were in their teens.

I'll begin with the first picture. It is labeled "Ada Marcia and Yetive." Mom remembers Ada Marcia Hoebel as being the daughter of a banker in Arco. Yetive Stowell is the name of the young woman on the right.

Note that both are holding tennis rackets. A story about the history of Logan Academy tells the story of this tennis court and why it was built. When a new principal was needed in 1925, the school approached Margery Frink. "When she was approached with the new assignment, she was teaching physical education and had no desire to lead the school. The governing board promised to build a tennis court if she would agree to become the principal. She accepted, and a very nice tennis court soon appeared." (Godfrey, para 19)

Yetive Stowell is mentioned in the same article referenced above.
