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

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

CALENDAR Friday the Talmadge contest was held an the winnin ' essays were read in assembly. That afternoon the Rocky Mountain oratorical con- test was held. I tried out but I didn ' t seem to be able to win anything that year. Maybe there was a jinx over me. Epi. the next week was pretty dull. Every- one had the spring fever an Lizabeth Ann an I took to takin long walks when we should have been studyin an I can tell you that is a sure symptom. The band gave us a concert that Wednesday an ' we sat there an just dreamed of each other. My golly, but we had it bad. Could you blame us? Friday was the Student Body extemporaneous program an ' I had to get up an ' sing a song. I was really scared that time an ' I ' ll bet they wished they ' d never called on me. Saturday they held the State track meet here an Lizabeth Ann an ' I stayed up there all day. It was awfully interestin ' . Senior day came the next Friday an a highly successful day was ended with the Senior dance. By the way, Epi, eighty-five Seniors graduated that year. That was a pretty good-sized graduatin class I thought, ffonor day came on May 29 an ' Epi. I only wished that I was one of the honored ones. I had a mania lor pins about then an ' the only trouble with me was that I didn ' t have any. Epi. school was really comin ' to a close. The exams came an ' went before we knew it an strange to say they didn ' t seem half as hard as the others that we d been through. Perhaps we had begun to see that they were a necessary evil, anyway I almost hated to have mine all over. We really thought school was over when we heard the Baccalaureate sermon Sunday, the 31st. It made me a little heartsick to think that the year I had enjoyed so much, an the year that had lirought me so much was nearly over. Monday the honor banquet was held but neither of us went. We stayed home an ' talked about our future an ' remembered our past. iSo ban- quet could compare in entertainment to that, Epi. The commencement exercises were held Wed- nesday an ' all the alumni were treated to a ban- quet an ' a ball. With the last strains of Home Sweet Home. Epi. our school year was really a thing of the past. All in all it had been a large year an ' it had brought me somethin ' it could never take back, it had brought me Liza- beth Ann an ' — What is it? Unc. here comes ma up the path! ■ ■Oh. Epi, you scoot in the other room. My land, here I ' ve wasted this whole afternoon just as your ma said I would. My. won ' t she be mad. Here, Epi, you take this album an ' put it right where you found it, quick now. here ' s your ma! ' Page Ttvenly-eigbt
