Have you ever wondered who determined the layout of the Wasatch Academy campus, where the Orange and Black color scheme originated and what prompted the Tiger as the Wasatch Academy mascot? The simple answer is Princeton University.

The more complex answer is that Sheldon Jackson, who was Superintendent of Presbyterian Missions in the West and a close friend of our founder, Duncan J. McMillan, attended Princeton Theological Seminary.

The two schools were distantly connected and, apparently, Sheldon Jackson was a great fan of Princeton University. He suggested the layout of the Wasatch Academy campus that corresponds to Princeton. The colors and the tiger mascot are also products of Princeton heritage. It seems appropriate that an eastern university with Presbyterian roots be connected to Wasatch Academy.

Creamed Tongue Recipe

As I was growing up, my parents had a few sheep, their own cow and also calves.

Often times I would open the refrigerator door and 

see a beef tongue staring at me.

I don't ever remembering eating any tongue, but someone must have or they

wouldn't have saved it in the refrigerator.

From my Grandmother Rigby's Recipe book I found a recipe for

Tongue with Cream Sauce.  

Here it is:

Use canned tongue which comes in glass jars and heat it in a cream sauce.

Make cream sauce by thickening two cupfuls milk with 4 tablespoons full of 

flour and seasoning with 1 1/2 teaspoons full of salt and 3 tablespoons full of 

butter or butter substitute.
