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

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

C A L E N ] A R won llif prize fur nmiposing the best yell. Tlir Iryouts started then an they were surely in:er- estin . Ruth Clark won the leading part. I didn ' t see Lizabeth Ann all the next day an ' Friday when I went into devotional 1 saw her sittin ' with her football crush an ' so nat- urally 1 didn ' t t;o near. Pretty soon, though, he had i go up on the stand as they were awarding the honors that day an ' there she sat all alone. 1 wanted to go up an sit by her. but my pride wouldn ' t let nie go. Y ' know, Epi. sometimes pride is an awful holdbaek. That night the girls leap year dance was held but I didnt go as ' Lizabeth - nn had forgotten to ask me. I sat at home wonderin ' if she was havin ' a good time. The next mornin ' I called her up intendin ' to make it all up with her. but 1 found that she had left for home an she wouldn ' t be bark until the holidays were over. Well. 1 can tell you. Epi. I was feelin ' pretty blue right then an ' more than once 1 thought how true it was that the course of true love is indee l not very smooth. It ' s tough. Epi. when viiu live so far away that yiuj can ' t go home for Christmas. Those two weeks of holiday were the longest I ever spent. Christmas night there was a student body dance an ' New Year ' s night the President ' s ball was held, but they diiln ' t do me much good. The only remedy for me was at home havin ' a good time. At last school started again an ' on January 7 the first play was read in Mask club. Florence Maw read ' Three Wise Fools. ' I went to hear it an ' saw ' l.i .abelh nn siltin on the front row. 1 sal behind her but she just sjioke to me. After the readin ' was over 1 went up an ' talked to her an ' she finally consented to let me take her honie an ' before I left she lunl promised to go with me to see the .Senior play the next night. After we had enjoyed ' The First Year ' together an ' heard the tryouts for the competitive opera Friday aflernocm. we were pretty well made up. Norma Dana an ' Leroy Whitehead won the leadin ' parts. The next Wednesday, that was about lanu ary 14. we went to hear (]amille Crandall reail ' Adam and Eva. ' fler Mask club was over we went up to bear the lclrop(dilan quarlelte sing the (Jrand Uproar ' an ' numerous other classics. They also dramatized the ' Wreck of The Hesperus ' an ' Epi. I ' ve never seen another version like it. When we were leavin we saw Bob Howar l. that ' s his picture right there, an ' we went up an ' congratulated him on bcin made captain of the basketball team. In devotional that Friday .Sherman ( ' hris- tensen dreamed a dream for us an ' in conse- quence won the Irvine Oratorical conli-sl. There was some class to .Slu ' rman. I can tell you that. That night 1 took ' l.izabelh nn to see the high school play. The Little Tea -her. ' It was surely fine but I didn ' t remark on any of the characters in any way an ' thereby I think I saved the day. You know what I mean. Epi. ' Unc. who ' s this minister here? ' Minister.Epi? Oh. that isn ' t a minister, that ' s Carl Smith. That very Friday mornin ' in dcvolional he got up an ' liore his testimony. P ' lC V nrti ' fn
