CALENDAR i Ruddy. An there were only two fellows in the whole scliool tliat anywhere measured up to the master of shieks. Glen Guynian an ' Merrill Bunnell were considered the most professional but to the majority Merrill seemed to put Ru- dolph in the shade an ' he was ranked with B u- beard. Yknow, Epi. Merrill had the charms the ladies fell for an as I remember it. they fell in different ways. I remember Connie Osmond fell so hard she misplaced several eyebrows; Cleone Smith took to wearing strange articles of wearing apparel: Clara Creer ' s injuries were more or less internal, an Vida Broadbent wasn ' t outwardly affected at all. On November first. ' Lizabeth Ann an I went to hear Lambert Murphy, the noted tenor, sing. It was the first Lyceum number an ' it was dandy. ' Lizabeth Ann told me that she thought I could sing as well as Mr. Murphy — an of course. Epi. you know everyone always agrees with Liza- beth. an I did too. The next few days politics kept us all pretty busy. Dean Woodward was in the race an we were all pretty interested to see how it would come out. ' Lizabeth . nn an ' I had some dif- ferences of opinion, she bein a democrat an me bein a republican. She took it pretty hard when the republicans won an believe me. Epi. it took some courage for me to take her to the first department play, Tuin to the Right. which took place .Novembef 5. We enjoyed it. however an ' had a good ' time ' till I happened to say that I thought Ruth Chipman was very pretty a ; Elsie Tillinger .an then Lizabeth . nn started sayin how wonderful she thought Glen Guyman was as Joe Bascom an pretty soon she got so mad that she refused to go to the football game that Friday when we played the Utah Aggies. It was a thrillin game an ' I can tell you that we were mighty disappointed when we lost by such a narrow margin. The score was 13 to 9. That night they had a student body dance but I didn ' t feel like goin ' without Lizabeth . nn an I knew I didn ' t have a chance of makin ' up willi her cause that mornin when we were in devotional we stood by each other in the yellin contest — Pretty loud devotionals Id say. Did they have the yellin contests between the speakers an the students or how? Yes. Epi. sometimes it was between the speak- er an the students an sometimes it was between the classes like it was this particular mornin , Y ' see every year the Jensen an Evans silver cup was awarded to the class that did the best an the loudest yellin at a contest that was held be- fore one of the gaines. Anyway, durin this con- test, which by the way. the high school won. Lizabeth Ann was standin by me an when I told her that I didn t think that Elsie Tillinaer was pretty an that I was sorry that Coolidge had been elected, she just turned up her nose. I don t know bow I managed to live through that week end. but I did. an the sun began to shine again on Monday when Lizabeth Ann signed the armistice with me. Tuesday. No- vember 11. we had a special .Armistice pro- gram an got out of Theology to hear Mrs. L. Page Fourlt f ' n

CALENDAR pictures of the parade there an one of President Harris an President T. N. Taylor brealvin tlie ground for the new lilirary Iniildin rif;ht there at the top of the page an that niglit there were sounds of revelry hy night at the hig Pounders Day Ball. Nothin much happened the next week. Epi. cause 1 had to let my studies interfere with my education an 1 hardly even saw I.izaheth Ann. I made up for it later, though, when we had another holiday for Teachers Institute on Oc- tober 23. I took Lizabelh Ann up to the city myself this time to save me the awful worry Id been through the last time she went up without me. We went to see our Cougars play the Uni- versity of I ' tah beasts in a fast game of football but Kpi. it was too fast for us cause everyone Irft that field registerin humility an a number of other emotions over the final score of that game. The six on our side didnt do much good when cimipared to the thirty on theirs. We don ' t think of that game now, though, nor do we think of the game we lost to the Montana Ag- gies about three weeks before the U. disaster. Yon know that little sayin Epi. about always lookin (m the bright side, so we just put that into practice. We returned from Salt Lake just in time to see the Idaho club go on a moonlight hike to Maple Klal. It was very pretty to see the torch parade goin up the mountain. The next night, that was Thursday. October 30. the music department put on the opera. ' Olivette. An that same night Mrs. Pardoe read. ' Mme. Butterfly — yes that s her picture right here. .She read down at the high school auditorium an the opera was in College Hall. Of course we wanted ti take in both events so it necessarily meant a mad rush after the readin . We could have made it alright if it hadn t been for Lizaheth . nn. That afternoim she d been dissipating at a reception for the girls of the institution at the home of Mrs. J. William Knight, an as a result it was almost a reptilion of the Tiinp hike. O. Epi. these girls! The next night, although not exactly feelin up to snuff. I took Lizabelh nn to the student body dance. The mendiers of the Mask club had charge of that particular dance an they turned it into a |)irate ball. There were certainly some mean lookin pirates there, an they (lidn t have any too gentle ways about em at least some of em didn t. Ell tell you. Epi, that party was no ordinary one! The chests of gold that were floatin around there — an ' the rum, well, that rum was flowin freely an I guess thal r. plenty said. Pretty soon I got into the spirit of the thing — an not through spirits ' either an I was trippin the light fantastic with the best of em. Oh. Epi, your old unc ' e was Slime Valentino! Come to earth, Unc. What d you mean. ■ ' aientino? ' ■ Why. Epi! Em surprised at you! Haven t vou ever heard of alentino? Rudolph ' alen- tino the greatest shiek that ever shieked? From the time a fellow was (dd enough to wear long trousers in those days, he aspired to shiek like
