CALENDAR Association which had het-ii formed the day before in girls nieetin . Muriel Smart was elected president. Nina Huish. vice-president. Oa Jacobs, secretary, an Hilda Miller, recorder. There s their pictures right there. ■ Well, I went to the operetta an 1 hked it fine an I was surely glad that Lizabelh Ann hadn t come with me ' cause right in the middle of the operetta tliey announced that we had lost the second game with the . ggies an ' the score was i2 to 22! I ' spect there wouldn ' t have been anything left of me if ' Lizabeth bad iieen witii me when they told us of the tragedy. The next Monday marked the beginnin ' of a week of holiday. Leadership week started an ' the leaders came pourin ' in from all directions. That week certainly put the theory of the sur- vival of the fittest to a test an by tlie time 2..312 leaders had registered, there wasn ' t room for even the fittest. Monday night they held a handshake for all the vistors an ' Tuesday night (!lara Creer read the play, The I ' rince Chap. ' Lizabeth Ann an ' 1 tried to get in to hear it bul there were too many leaders there before us so we didn ' t even gel a peek in. The next day Monzo Morely created a sensation by leaviti ' the nlil school to travel with the Moroni Ol-on players in The Tamin ' of the .Shrew. ' Wednesday night the Seniors gave their play ' The First Year ' again an ' there were so many leaders there that they had to havi- an overflow meetin ' in the library where Florence iaw ' read Three i-e Fools.

CALENDAR It was a marvelous testimony an ' Til tell you, after liearin what he said about Banyan ' s com- pound as a cure for all ills, we all went down an ' tried some of it at the Larsen studio. We lost our president an vice-president that week-end when they went up to Logan with Jiggs Jenson to attend the first inter-collegiate banquet. They discussed all the weighty prob- lems of all three schools an ' our representatives came back so enthused it was all the whole stu- dent body could do to keep them from reformin ' us. While Merrill an ' Vida an ' Jiggs were at Logan discussin ' our welfare, we were watchin the first basketball game of the season between the Apex Miners an our boys. Of course we beat them, as we knew we would before we started, an ' the final score was 21 to 33 in our favor. Y ' know. Epi. we turned out real basket- ball teams in those days. The next Thursday. January 22. the first girls debate was held. Our negative team, com- posed of Ethel Lowery an Julia Alleman. went to Salt Lake an ' Epi. they surely showed the University what brains we had down there at the B. Y. They won the decision an we had the same good luck that night when our affirmative team, composed of Mrs. Pulsifer an ' Vera John- son, beat the Utah .Aggie team. I ' ll tell you. Epi. our girls were mighty smart an ' they weren ' t the only ones that knew it either. The next night the fellows had their turn at the debatin ' stunt an ' they fared nearly as well as the girls. I took ' Lizabeth Ann lo hear Alonzo Morley. Orval Hafen an ' Walter Clark debate at the U. of U. at College Hall an ' I vowed I ' d never take her to another debate as long as I lived, an ' I didn ' t. I nearly got pounded to death an ' when we lost the decision — well, I thought we ' d have to call the guards. However, when she heard that we had won the debate at the A. C. she felt a little better an ' I stopped worryin ' about how much long er I could live. Y ' know. Epi. that surely was a strenuous week-end! After bearin ' with Lizabeth Ann about the debate. I had to take her over to the . lpha Delta frat — what is it, Epi? Good night, Unc. what in thunder is a ' frat ' ? Oh. Epi, your ignorance is refreshin ' . For a boy of ten years old, you aren ' t as smart as you could be. Well, a frat is somelhin ' you joined to get a pin an ' a good time, that is, some frats included the good time, others just had the pin. Well, anyway, we went over to the commerce fraternity dance an ' in the middle of the dance they announced that we had won our first intercollegiate basketball game with the A. C. in Logan. The score was 26 to 29 an you can bet that that must have been one excitin ' game. After that news. I could hardly keep Lizabeth Ann actin ' right, so to preserve our reputations I took her home. The next night I wanted to take ' Lizabeth Ann to see the junior high school operetta but she couldn ' t go as she had to write up the ac- count of the organization of the Girls Athletic Page Twenly

CALENDAR program an ' dance. Vida Broadbent had charge of it an ' the main feature of the program was the dance of the seven veils with six of em in the wash that Wayne Smart rendered. Saturday we spent most of the day with the races an finally when we did come home we were tired but thoroughly happy. It was awfully hard to come back to school -Monday an try to get back into the normal run of things. Durin the week of leadership our education had been enhanced a hundred per cent but our lessons had been sadly neglected. Tuesday they had the tryouts for the Wyoming debate. 1 thought I ' d try out for it as I ' d had so much practice with ' Lizabeth Ann, but I didn ' t have time, so I gave Sherman Christensen an Drue Cooper a chance. ' Wednesday night Zoe Hansen read the play ' Honor Bright ' in Mask club an ' it was dandy. After Mask club we went up to see the Home Economics an Ag club play, ' For One Night Only, and — well, Epi, the name was appropriate. We enjoyed ourselves immensely that night. The next night I went to the Pep Vodie. ' Lizabeth Ann was in it, she was the mob in one of the acts but her act didn ' t win the prize. The Spanish club staged a bull fight an ' bullied the judges into givin them the decision. Per- sonally I thought the Block Y Skunks should have had the prize because they gave some heart- rending stunts in between the acts. Y ' know, Epi, that was surely a week of pep. The next morning we had a pep rally in devo- tional an ' that night everyone went to see the basketball game between the U. of U. an our Cougars. That game proved to be an awful strain on me. Epi. Lizabeth Ann nearly fainted with excitement an when we received the 33 in a score of 3.S-33 — well. I thought I ' d have to carry her out. The next night, however, we made up for our defeat when we came out at the other end of the score. We beat them 41 to 25. Pase Tupnty-two
