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

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.

Page Twenty-six THE TATTLER none of such importance as that called by the supervisor of Navigation. The Captain wishing to test the twelve officers on board devided them into four groups and had them prepare lunch- eons for the higher officers including the captain and three who were to serve the following time. Two dollars was the limit of allowance. The first six course luncheon was served by Gladys Fisher, Erma Harris and Pauline Menagh for $1.96. to the Supervisor of Navigation, Mr. Neifert, his wife, our captain, and Grace Tout, Ora Breitweiser and Nettie Moreton who in turn served a two-course lunch- eon to the Director of courses of ships Miss Maiden, Mr. Perkins, captain of ship Science, our director Miss Spence, and Sherry Cox, Esther Menagh and Lila Jamison. This luncheon was serv- ed for $1.56. The girls served and then prepared a luncheon for captains over ships History and Language, Miss Smith, Miss Kennedy, Captain Spence and Jane Tout, Frances Blevins and Mary Freer, for the sum of $1.99. The last luncheon was given to former captain of Domestic Science, Mrs. Stewart, Commander of Naval Barges, Miss Rhodes, Miss Spence, Erma Harris, Paul- ine Menagh and Gladys Fisher. This six course luncheon cost $1.86. Thus Miss Spence was made acquaint- ed with the standing of each officer. During our travels we gained much of treasure, many substantially filling Cedar Hope chests with articles of value. We are now nearly through with the traces of this ship and all have spent a most enjoyable voyage. We hope to be capable of commanding a ship in the near future and to our most able super- visors we extend our thanks and good wishes. We may not be near their di- recting influence but we have gained much knowledge while in their employ. This knowledge we are going to use in putting out to sea. In stormy gales and troubled waters we will try to follow the example of our supervisors, holding fast to the course by means of the rud- der knowledge, avoiding dangerous routes to success by heeding the advice of conscience, passing by the channel “non-preparation,” not stopping on the island “intoxicating refreshment,” a- voiding the hot air region of water spouts, not going through the strait “wait awhile” but rather following the ship endurance which has for its motto “Be PATIENT, Be VIRTUOUS AND PERSEVERE TO THE END.” —The Three Girl graduates of Domestic Science.
