CALENDAR Ricliards won the flip. The Freshmen wnn the turkey, however. That nif;ht Lizahelli Ann an I went to the dance an the next mornin she went home hut i stayed at .school. I thought Id };et some studyin done, hut I noticed that my l)ooks didn ' t suffer from over use. Kempy was given by the .Moroni Olson players .Satur- day an of course 1 saw that. The week after Thanksgivin all Freshmen an ' some Sophomores paid the piper. Epi. we had one week of terrible exams. I was a nervous wreck tryin to coax my intelligence out of hiil- in . The worst of it was. though, that somethin was goin on every night of exam week. Tues- day night tliere was a Lyceum number. Ruth Bryant Owen had a message to give the stu- dents, but as I remember it most of that species were receivin ' messages from m high that night. Thursday afternoon the final basketball game in the cbiss series was played an of course the seniors won. That night the male glee club gave the opera. Captain Van Der Hum an ' the soprano singers of the school were given point- ers how to sing by Harlen Adams. ■ ' At last. Epi. the end came an Friday dawned bright an clear with .lack Peterson out of a job an the Freshmen reigning supreme. We took off luir green caps an marched in the front door whenever we pleased. We gave the program in assembly an a big dance at night an we all felt that the worst of our Freshman year was over. Epi. we all -prrU the ne l cniiple of days in recuper.iting Irum the Irenuous quailer ue had just been through an ' by the tirue Monday came we had gathered our forces together once again to go through the perpetual struggle of registerin . You could certainly tell those who werent wised up as to the ways of modern ed- ucation, or in other words the Freshmen, cause they rushed wildly about to get their rigisterin over with while the upper classmen waited around an in the meantime had a veek s vaca- tion that wasn ' t called for in the schedule. That first Monday night. December 8th. they held the tryouts for the student body play. If I Were King. Celeslia Johnson an ' C.len (luy- nian won out in the leads. The next night they had the tryouts for the girls triangle debalin ' team an ' Mrs. Pulsifer. Ethel Lowery. Julia - llenian an ' Vera Johnson won out. Y ' know- that was the first year they ever had girls de- balin ' teams an ' let me tell you it was time they bad ' em ' cause that school was so full of debatin ' girls that it stuck out all over ' em. Wednesday the 10th was President Brim- hall ' s birthday an ' he was 72 years young. The band serenaded him that night an ' I bet he wished that his birthday came oftener. While President Brinduill was growin ' young to music the tryouts for the boys ' triangle debatin ' team was bcin ' held an by the time the band had ceased from didightin ' the president. Mnn ' o Morley. Heber Kasband. Orval llalen. sael Lambert. Waller Clark an Daniel Clark had made the debatin ' team. Six more good men gone the way of argiimenlation. That was surely a day nf good luck an ' victory for Mr. l.andierl. Pagp Seventeen

CALENDAR What d ' you have his picture here for then Unc . Well y-see Epi, nearly every Freshman had a picture of Jack so that when we looked at it we could remember that school wasn ' t all pleasure for us poor freshmen that year Any- way that mornin- I went through the front door f-nn r - l ' n r ' 8° ' ' e Senior Court an Ariel Ballif gave me the once over an ' passed sentence on me. I had to get up in de- votional an let people know what an awful thing I had done. That afternoon they had the Ijrosh mixer but I didn ' t care to be mixed right then. =• Thursday ' Lizabeth Ann came back an ' that night we went to a concert given by Mr. Hanson Friday mornin ' ' Lizabeth Ann had to sing in devotional an I was given ' her all the moral support I had. which wasn ' t very much. After she sang they read the winning essays in the Grant Essay Contest. Pauline Brunner. Maud ' AU t ., ' ¥ Kartchner were the winners. Old Lady 31 the second department play was given that night an ' ' Lizabeth Ann went with me. Elaine Christensen an ' Harlen Adams took the leads. Epi. that was one of the old maidiest plays I ever saw. ' Lizabeth Ann had no cause tor jealousy there. f 7? r ' ' ' ' ' football team played the U. ot U. freshman team in a game of football the next afternoon. The final score was 3-3 an ' 1 can tell you Epi. we were surely elated over our victory That night ' Lizabeth Ann went to the girls Jambouree dressed as a baby She didnt win the perfect baby contest, though Cause that was won by Florence Adams I went to the boys ' stag party an ' it was a great deal of fun. only we didn ' t have such a good time as we could have done ' cause we kent wonderin what the girls were doin ' . You know now men are, Epi. Wednesday, the 26th of November, school let out for the Thanksgiving holidays. After as- sembly we had a cross country run an ' Fred Page Sixteen

C A L E N D A R That afternoon he had won the medal for the Leven oratorical contest. His subject was. Peace Cometh From Within. Yknow. Epi. it seemed to me pretty funny that he shou ' d vrin a medal for an oration on peace an ' then go right in an get on the debatin team. Seemed to me like a fiat contradiction. We went to see the Lyceum the next night an we enjoyed watchin Packard cartoon — whatd you say? I said, who ' s that lady right there? Oh. that is Mrs. N. I .Butt. She was made the new dean of women that next Friday. She was made the dean of women the same night that ' Lizabeth .Xnn an ' I went to see the Junior Vodie. I remember on the way home after the Vodie ' Lizabeth . nn said somethin ' about some of her friends goin ' on a hike to Rock Canyon with the Y Winter Walkers— I wish you wouldn ' t keep interruptin ' me. Epi. what is it now? Well. Unc. why did they call ihem Y inter Wal kers? Oh. ' cause. Epi. they walked in the winler. Well, anyway, before I thought. I asked her to go oti that hike with me an then I laid awake all night worryin for fear that it would prove another experience like Timp. But I had cal- culated without takin into consideration the place we were goin . It wasn ' t any climb at all to the canyon an when we got there we skied and coasted an ' had more fun than I ever had before. Lizabeth Ann proved to be more than a good sport an ' I resolved then an there never to doubt her again. The next Tuesday we went to see the Moroni Olson players in ' You and L ' The only thing that spoiled the play for me was that Lizabeth - nn kept admirin ' the heighth of .Moroni Olson an ' me bein ' what I am. only five foot seven. I naturally didn ' t say anythin ' but I guess she noticed how quiet I was on the way home an then she commenced to get quiet an before I knew it we had quarreled without sayin ' a word. Well. I went home that night an thought what a great big boob I was an so early the next mornin I saw her at school an asked her to go to the show with me but she informed me ever so coolly that she was goin to the foot- ball banquet that night with someone else. You could have floored me with a feather an 1 guess I registered dumbness to a certain extent an before I knew it I was standin in the hall an the crowd around me was conspicuous by its absence! I didn ' t know what to do an ' so I went to hear the tryouts for the high school play that were held in the Little Theater that nigiit. While I was waitin for it to commence I saw a Y News an I began to look it over. I noticed that Lenore Johnson had won the prize for the best Christmas poem an ' that Pauline Brunner had won the prize for the best Christ- mas short story. That made me feel a little bad ' cause I had had hopes that my story an poem would win something. I noticed, also that Jordnn Rust that ' s his picture right there, had Pasi Eighteen
