CALENDAR The first day of school, which came on a Wednesday, was like a nightmare to me. No- body that I knew an nobody that knew me. We all went to assembly in the mornin an ' President Harris, that ' s him right there on the first page, got up an ' welcomed the students an ' then Merrill Bunnell an ' Vida Broadbent — oh yes, Epi, their pictures are there too — got up an as the president an ' vice-president of the student body made their welcoming speeches an ' before we knew it. it was all real friendly like. ■ ' By the time Friday came, things were begin- ning to smooth out a bit an I was sailin ' along fine. Friday was the official Hello day an ' everybody ' belloed ' everybody else an ' in as- sembly that mornin ' a fellow by the name of Ariel Ballif led in the ' Hello ' song. My. Epi. I ' ll never forget that song. It was grand! In the song everyone had to turn an sing ' hello ' to his neighbor an ' I turned — an ' Epi — there was ' Lizabeth Ann — Well, I sang hello to her the rest of the time. I kept a wonderin who she was an that night at the handshake — ■ ' The what. Uncle Cy? ' The handshake. Epi. They always called the first dance the handshake an it certainly was a shakin affair. The girls all lined up in gang formation an then the fellows came along an used a little mob violence. ' Lizabeth Ann was there an I shook her hand — fact is, I almost got fined for workin ' overtime an congestin the traffic. I never was the same after that an right then an ' there I understood what my dad bad said to me as I was gtttin on the train. Cyrus , he says, Cyrus, the B. Y. U. is a fine school for educa- tion, but it is noted for other things also. It is the place where I found your mother, it is the place where your grandfather found your grandmother an it — well, who knows what P ige Ten
