CALENDAR nobody ever rode in a Ford for a joy ride so ihere wasnt much need of mentionin them. ' ' The Banyan celebrity candidates were an- nounced Friday, that was about the 27th of February, an ' lo an beliold ' Lizaheth Ann was in the ranks. That same day 1 took part in a commercial contest which was held at the B. Y. but Richfield won nearly everythin there was to win. That night I wanted Lizabeth Ann to go to the show with me but she had to go to the Girls Banquet an ' give a toast so I was left alone. I didn t feel any belter, either, when 1 heard that we had lost the basketball game with the U. of U. in Salt Lake. The score was 36 to 24 an we certainly didn ' t feel compli- mented. We won the next night, though. 41 to 36. We were so happy that we celebrated in a student body dance, which was held after the debate with Wyoming. They tried a new system with this debate an they didn t have any deci- sion at all. I believe I liked it better although ' Lizabeth Ann couldn t see much sense to de- batin unless you knew who won. ' The next Monday. March 2, the Banyan sales began. I started to sell them but I didn t have much success. The next day we won the Inter-Mountain Union debate an lost the wres- tlin match to the . C. which gave the Aggies the state championship. Wednesday. Leda Bradford read her play. ' The Adventures of Lady Ursula in Mask. The next day 1 took Lizabeth Ann to Salt Lake an we saw the swininiin meet with the U. of U. We lost to the state college but ' Lizabeth Ann an I enjoyed ourselves just the same. We missed llie Lyceum number, the Hanson Wigwam com- pany. Saturday, but we got home just in time to cram for exams that started Monday. ■ Exams, exams an ' more exams. We had some awful ones that week. Floyd Larsen won the Taylor piano contest an we won the state cham- pionship in basketball when the Utes lost to Page Twenty-four

Waller Clark an ' Asael l-andiert debated the University of West irfiinia hut tor an (il)vic,us reason I didn ' t take Lizabeth Ann. •I i alietli Ann was all right in her place but. Epi her place was not at a debate, therefore. I went alone. My conscience birrt me though, an so Friday 1 took her to the basketball game with the Utah Aggies. Although it had been Friday the thirteenth all day we won that game with a score of 48 to 23. I didn ' t suffer much during that game. l)ut I was wary of the next, so .Saturday night I took her to hear the Lyceum. It was Irene Stolofsky. the yiobnist. an after that was out 1 marched Lizabeth Ann ri ht straight liome. Later, when 1 heard that th,. M-ore was 21 to 23 in our favor- well. 1 thanked my guardian angel for givm me the liun.h not to go to that game.

It was a wonderful party an Liza- beth ' Vnn was gorgeous! .She was very popular an every time l d look at her M.mething went wTong with my heart. That night Clara Todd an Mark Bean surprised us all by announcin their en- .■a ement an when 1 saw the look of bliss on both their faces 1 began to feel a little envious. We were so tired the next day. after the Prom that we didn t go to the basketball game with the Western State Teachers. We beat them, however. The score was . 4 to 18.
