January 25 Today the lionesses donated several very good books to the library. They obtained the money for the books, by raffling off Margaret Mitchell's best seller, 'Gone With The Wind.W It was a big success, and the library now has several more fine books. February l2 This afternoon we gathered in the auditorium for a Lincoln's birthday programw. Those who helped to make it a success were Marjorie Augusta, Myrle Anderson, Hazel Clair Kreim, Jean NicoL the Glee Club and the orchestra. February 12 The members of the G.A.A. went to Antioch to play basketball and hit pin today. They showed Antioch that the lion--even the female of the species--is still the king of beasts. After the games, the cooking class of the Antioch cage served the victorious cubs and the defeated Panthers a spaghetti dinner. February 22 The cage wasn't filled with the usual Monday excitement today because we had a holiday in co memoration of Washington's birthday. February 26 This morning Mr. Armstrong, fr m Armstrong's Business College, gave us a short talk on the necessity of having a purpose in life. His talk was very interesting as well as educational. March 5 Ever seen a lion in overalls and gingham? Then you should have been at the Liberty Lion Barn Dance! We pranced around the cage -in overalls. with our manes bristling from excite- ment and too much hay. The slide was plenty of fun, too. And pop! .......... and confettillil fa tw Swirl 3 . J March l9 There was a great stir among the lions today when they were turned Lame a day early for Easter vacation. This excitement was caused by the absence of one of our instructors, Lioness McGinely, who was sick with scarlet fever. For the same reason the Student Body Play was postponed. April 2 Tonight the Junior lions and lionesses were hosts to a happy crowd at their Junior Prom. The guests gaily strutted under the arbors of luscious grapes for the cage was transformed into Wa night in Valencia.' Apri l6 All of the Wstanding room onlyn signs were in use tonight!! The lions presented their annual play to a very appreciative audience. Everyone roar- ed and wagged their tails in happy contentment. May 4 This is the one day of the year when the old cage is quiet.The seniors have broken loose and have Wgone with the windn for a rollicking good time on the annual senior ditch day. May l3 The lionesses felt like baby cubs today when they saw their mothers at their annual Mothers' Tea. The cubs put on a very entertaining program. May 2l Tonight the Senior lions and lion- esses roared at the annual Senior Ball. They had the old cage decorated artis- tically. Every lion present had a good time prancing around to the music of Don Schary and his orchestra. June ll Well, tonight those sedate lions and lionesses--the Seniors--areleaving the old cage. Now they're going out into the wide open spaces to conquer the world. They sure look foxy, oh pardon me, that was a mistake.

This afternoon the den was the From August 1936 to June 1957 August 51 Well, Well, Well! After roaming around at will all summer, we find the old cage pretty crowded now that some eighty-nine new cubs have joined us. But perhaps we need new blood to spruce us up! September 18 The Liberty Lions started out the football season with a great victory! The score was Liberty 14 and Emery High O. October 9 Tonight the old cage was the scene of gayety once more. The lion- esses held their annual Girls' High Jinx. They all came in old clothes and enjoyed a short entertainment. Afterwards refreshments were served, and the remaining part of the evening was spent in games and dancing. Two new lionesses, Mr. Hoyt and Mr. Durbrow, also entered into the songs and activities. I think that all the fair sex of lion kingdom had a most hilarious time. October 25 Tonight'the lion-trainers cracked their whips and put the cubs through their paces at the Freshmen Reception. We certainly taught the how to roar. Now they do it on the slightest provo- cation. October 26 center of two very interesting talks by Clare Poule and Don Golden, both of the University of California. These two brilliant young people gave us a glimpse of the value and glamour of a University education. After the talks, the speakers answered questions and gave pamphlets to all who were interested in a college career. After the talks, I think almost all the Liberty students had secret hopes of some day entering a large university. J Q, E 3. ll ' Y' '-'U t I5 'ul K . 2 , L Q November ll All the cubs and lions were feel- ing very patriotic today. We had an Armistice Day Vacation. Grrrrrr-r-r-r-r and! November 12-13 Boy, the old cage fairly glows! For two days all the cubs have been polishing the bars and shining up the door knobs in one grand cleanup for the year. After the work was done, all the cubs gathered in the cage for a feed of hot dogs and soda pop, and a good rest well-earned. November 25 Today the noise in the halls stopped for a long time. They tell me the lions and lionesses are all out hunting turkeys, and they won't be back for four days! December ll The old cage was the scene of great hilarity this evening. Some of the cubs dressed as minstrels and took us below the Mason-Dixon line for a few hours of fun at the Showboat Hi Jinx. Say, and talk about atomsphere! The old cage practically rocked. Even Topsy and Eva were there in all their glory. You should have seen the lions fishing and at nigger babies and en- other concessions. throwing balls joying all the December 18 Today our the den closed all wagged our keepers drove us out and up for two weeks, so we tails and went home to await Santa's visit! January 4 It's been pretty lonesome here for the past two weeks, with everybody home for the Christmas holidays, but today things are fine again, all because the old cage is full of hurry and scurry and we're all back at school.
