CALENDAR Tuesday. March 31. was Y day. All the fellows went up on the mountain an cleaned the dear old letter an the girls fixed us a grand luncheon. It was funny, though. The Seniors bossed the job. the Juniors looked on. the Sophomores watched the Freshies. an the Freshies worked! Prof. Swenson and Prof. Nuttall returned from the south just in time to help an ' 111 tell you we needed them. Ruth Sidwell distinguished herself the next Thursday when she won the medal for the Adams stringed instrument contest. She was quite a violinist. The next day the University of Utah gave the program in devotional an we sent a program up there. We enjoyed the pro- gram immensely an I nearly got in bad with Lizabeth , nn for admirin one of the girls be- cause she was so pretty. That evenin we went to the last debate of the season. We debated Montana college but no decision was given as one of the men from Montana caught the measles in Ogden an so a man from the U. of U. helped the other debator. ' Saturday they held a Block Y banquet at the Hotel Roberts an they said that it was quite an affair. They also held the second inter-colle- giate banquet that day an ' once again our af- fairs were discussed to much length. That week the Seniors decided to build some tennis courts for their project. Monday in devotional Harold Harwood was awarded the Alpha Delta scholarship an he was made an ' honorary member of the fraternity. The next afternoon I took Lizabeth Ann on an explorin hike up the mountain. Epi. I should have had better sense than to go on that hike. It was strenuous in every ' sense of the word an we were both wrecks after we came down. We had another holiday the next Monday when the school ceased functionin ' long enough for us all to go to the city for the Conference recess. We had a grand time durin ' the vaca- tion but it was awful hard for us to come back to earth an ' school Wednesday. The band re- turned from its tour about that same time an ' we were all together once again. Mr. Lambert won the Dixon Extemporaneous contest that Thursday an ' we decided that he had won enough laurels to last him the year. That man most generally won everythin ' he ever entered. Friday Professor Hanson gave a piano recital before the commerce fraternity dance. By the way. Epi. Professor Hanson had recently won a fifty dollar prize for writing a composition. He took second prize in a national contest. There ' s his picture right there. L ' nc. who ' s that right there? Oh. Epi. that ' s Bob Howard. He won the Anderberg medal for being the all-around ath- lete. What did you say? I said, is that the basketball team? Oh, no. that ' s the Commerce club team. They won the club basketball championship about that time. The next Wednesday ' ida Broadbent an ' Gladys ' Watson left for Oregon to attend the convention of Associated Women Students. Right after we had heard the news of Vida ' s departure we were all shocked to hear of Ptige Tucnty-six

The celebrity winners were announced Wednesday. Fred Hinckley won for the popular man. Libhy Cook, popular lady. . ileen Bonnett. Margaret Green an Lois Bowen most beautiful ladies. 1 felt quite disappointed that Lizabeth Ann hadnt won somethin hut then I guess we can t all be beautiful. ■ Kuth Chipman read the play, ' The Easiest Way, in Mask Wednesday evenin an I found lime to get away from my studyin hmg enough to take Lizabeth Ann. That same day Orval Hafen an . sael Lambert left for California where they debated. Epi. that was hectic week! The exams were terrible an we just had to go to everythin that came along. We were mighty glad when Friday came an ' our exams were over. We were so g ' ad that we had a boys jambouree — what? Oh. Kpi. it would never do lo idl mIuiI »c di{| at that party. .Vfter that awful week of exams we felt pretty subdued an ' we didn t do very much but hear about the rehearsals for ' If I Were King an read the Y News. 1 spent a little time on my lesson durin the next week an ' when the play was annouiu-ed to take place the next Thursilav an Friday both Lizabeth Ann an I went. It was dandv ! Glen (iuyman made a capital lover even if he did have a hard lime winnin ' the proud Celestia. Fhe same day as the play was pul on. our basketball team battled with Colorado Springs for the Rocky Mountain Championship. We were mighty disappointed when we lost both games. 1 forgot the scores as soon as I found out cause I don ' t like to remember things like that at all. ' ' Professor Poulson left for Chicago the next day. He was goin to the University of Chicago until summer. That same day we noticed great signs iif industry on the Maesar hill an we saw that work had really started on the new library buildin . Y ' know. Fpi. thai laslipiarler ' Lizabeth Ann an I went to hear some dandy plays. .Julia Alle- man read Kindling. I.ihby Cook read. ' ' I he Second rrs. Tanquary, Alice lirunner read The Dolls House. ' Mary Hansen read Poly With a Past. Grace Folland read Kxperience. Donald Flake read Disraeli, Glen (Juyman read ' Heau rirummel an Florence Oopper read Lady W indamere ' s Fan. ' riie next week Orval Hafen an Asael Lam- bert returned lo school after winnin everythin ' they could an bavin ' been in jail once while they had been gone. I ihonghl that was a pretty good record. They hadn ' t been home but a few days when we had a debate with the Occidental college an of course due to the influence of ihe two stars we won. It wasn t any excitement at all. We knew before we ever debated anv c i|. lege that we would win. That week-end the band left for its annual tour through southern llali m.ikin life musical throughout that coun- Irv.

CALENDAR the engagement of erna Dicker an Hanild lientlev. Epi. that was the straw that broke the camel ' s back an right then an there I con- sidered the time ripe. I. too. popped the QUES- TION ! Epi. she didn ' t even consider it a min- ute but up an ' shyly says ' yes. ' I ' ll tell you I was a different man from the time ' Lizaheth Ann began to wear her diamond. Course every- body noticed it an jollied us along quite a bit but that didn ' t matter to us. We were as happy as though we had good sense. • ' The 17th of . pril saw Norma Dana. Mar- gurite Jepperson an ' Grace Gates entered in the Rocky .Mountain musical contest. I ' ll tell you I was mighty disappointed that l.izalieth - ' nn didn ' t enter but her social duties became so pressin ' about that time that she didn ' t have a chance. .She did enter the W ' ouley humorous readin ' contest which took place on . pril 22 but of course her luck was against her again an ' she didn ' gel the medal. That Monday we went to see Dr. Evans, the magician. We were expectin ' some stranger to step out on the stand an ' when our old friend Edmund Evans came out the shock was so greal we could hardly withstand it. By the wav. Edmund had visited us in devotional but be didn ' t see anything so very interestin ' as it was the nominations of the officers for next year. The next night I took ' l.izabelh .Xnn to hear the bariiiimv concert held in College Hall, ll was dandv. ' spcciallv as all the numbers |)layed were original. Oh. Epi. that Friday and Mur day were verv cscitin ' la -. Friday the pri- mary elections were held an ' feelin waxed strong. Friday was also the first day of the Annual B. Y. IJ. Invitation Track an Field meet. There were a lot of high schools represented an ' before the day was over there was a greal deal of en- thusiasm worked up. Saturday was a contiiiua- alion of the track meet an ' in the eveiiin we had a stiulent body dance. By the way. Epi. the girls were also plentifully represented at the meet ' l There were some dandy sprinters there an if you ' d like to know it. your iint ' I.i .abeih . nn was one of ' em. ' Lizabetb Ann was pretty still by Monday so I bad to go to hear Miss Babcock ' s lecture all alone. 1 enjoyed it a great deal, however. May the 1st was Girls ' day! Just as if every dav in ' the year wasn ' t girls ' day. more or less. In the mornin ' they had a program and Mrs FUie Chamberlain Carroll awar.led the medal to ihe girl tbal wrote the best short story. In the afternoon l.izabelh Ann had to dance in a pageant that was given by Miss Jeppson an Miss Lewis. An operetta was given m Ihe evenin after which Lizabelh nn cimdiicled me to the big Girls ' dav ball. We had a grand time an I only wished that Girls day came oftener. ■The next Monday they had the final elec- tions an ' . Epi, again feelin ' waxed strong. You know what I mean. Epi. Thai same day we had a tennis meet with ihe V tab Aggies at 1 ncan an ' the Mask club held a bancpiel a liie Hotel rxoberls that evenin ' . We were bavin mighlv busy days right then an ' every day broii. ' lil the end of school that much nearer. Page Tutnly-leven
