Page Twenty-four THE TATTLER DEBATERS Seated: Mae Black, Eva Hix, Arnold Thomas. Standing: George Davis, Miss Maiden, Ray Adams, Lew Davis. Once more St. Anthony debaters bring laurels to their alma mater, win ning the Championship of Eastern Idaho by defeating Blackfoot and Idaho Falls. The above picture will hang among the pictures ot the three other Champion teams from the St. Anthony H. S. and those debaters may well be proud to be with those students who have made our school noted in previous years, even as they have this year. Ray Adams is especially to be credit- ed for his forceful delivery. Being a Freshman we expect wonders from him in the three years he will be with us. George Davis is also a Freshman and is very deserving of the praise bestowed upon him. Arnold Thomas, a Sophomore, won much renown by his striking personality and delivery. Eva Hix, our la iy orator, is still re- taining the standard she established last year. Eva will be with us one more year. Mae Black and Lew Davis, both Sen- iors, did credit to our school by their well arranged argument. Miss Maiden is deserving of much praise for her persistent labor in aiding the debaters, both in arrangement of argument and inforceing delivery.

Af- ter the banquet, dancing was enjoyed. Miss Lilah Sturdevant was hostess at a surprise party given in honor of Miss Ada Sturdevant’s birthday, April 8. The Evening was spent in games and a dainty two course luncheon was served. A good time was reported by all. REVIEW. The series of programs given during the past school year was exceptionally good. All the classes individually have given at least two programs during the year. It has been the rule that unless a student appears twice, his English grade will be withheld. With this in view, everyone has been willing to take his or her part on the program and they have been a great success. A. great number of them have been literary programs while some have been plays such as the “Old Maid’s Convention” by the Freshmen, “Silas Marner” by the Sophomores and “The Heavenly Twins” by the Seniors. The two Glee Clubs; the Cecelian Club and the Boys ' Glee Club organized and conducted by Miss Maiden have been a success and have furnished mus- ic for various occasions. The High School parties have been fewer this year than last but in having fewer we have enjoyed them all the more. The most important one was the High School banquet given in hon- or of the debaters who won the cham- pionship of Eastern Idaho for our school. There have been many class parties too, but it is needless to say that all were enjoyed, for that is understood. Some of the features in Society this semester were the luncheons served by the Senior Girls’ Cooking class. The teachers were invited in turns and seemed to enjoy them. The luncheons all proved successful and the girls feel that they were greatly benefited by this experience. The Junior class prov- ed their skill when they entertained their mothers at a luncheon. With an- other years work they will he experts.

THE TATTLER Page Twenty-five When the school opened September 15, 1914, a thorough course in Domes- tic Science had been made a part of the High School curriculum, and an able teacher, Hannah Marie Spence, had been secured. It was with a feeling of doubt that we entered the class. At this time it is with regret and remorse that we are nearing the close. We may never be pupils under our beloved teacher again but we have learned and put into prac- tice many things that will cause us to remember her during our voyages through the different seas of life. Miss Spence has been at the helm of our ship, “Domestic Science.” She has steered us through the stormy waters of cooking, and through the times when burns oc- curred and when we knew what it was to be unprepared. We followed the course of sewing, using the needle as a compass and going through the differ- ent channels and straits of Home Sani- tation, Physiology, Theory of Cooking and Sewing, Peoples Health, and Arith- metic. The time was spent in studying the above mentioned channels and straits that we might be capable of steering a ship of our own. We often paused to become familiar with the different habits of peculiar animal life in the channels, the different breeds of mosquitoes and the means of destroying the poisonous flies on board. In channels Physiology and People’s Health we found the land infested with animals called “Protazoa,” and with vegetation called “Bacteria.” Many kinds of these animals were very pois- cmtce onous — in fact, we had some times to use measures to prevent the injury of our mates. Some few were not harm- ful but we learned to shun all in order to insure safety. The vegetation with some few exceptions was likewise very poisonous. The seeds blown on dust particles were inhaled by all on board causing severe illness. But thanks to navigators, Jenner and Pastuer, we were able to kill these deadly poisons and were in a measure quite safe. We found all the water inhabited by numerous animals. Some of these animals, called typhoid, caused us a lot of trouble, but our captain said to use as methods of killing, sterilization, gas, plenty of hot sunlight and Alteration. Thus we were able to withstand num- erous evils which we had only heard of before our voyage. One day we received word there would be an assembly of the captains and all on board ships sailing over cours- es, Classical, Commercial, Scientific and Domestic Science, This meeting was called by Professor Neifert, Navigation Superintendent, for the purpose of en- joying a feast. The captain of ship, Domestic Science, was chosen to over- see the preparation with chief cooks Erma Harris and Gladys Fisher, assisted by lesser officers of the ship. Grace Tout took all the names of those attend- ing in order that each one would be sure to get a share of the viands. The feast was duly held and much favorable comment passed on its preparation. Lesser feasts had been held before, all were successful, but
