“UTOPIA” Far away in the land of somewhere, amid the branches of the Rocky Moun- tains, which form a grand and pictur- esque scene from the Snake River valley, is a high school, cuddled down into a small community. Here assemble a small but industrious and intelligent number of pupils, who are gathering what knowl- edge they may from the opportunity offered them. From here, in the land of somewhere, can be seen the grand Teton peaks, which stand silhouetted across the wide expanse of sky to the east, and whose voraginous peaks form the footstool for the rising sun. To the west is the lofty Sawtooth range, which forms the western boundary of the Snake River valley. Between the shadows of these two ranges of mountains, and on a river which has its headwaters in the crags of the former mountains named, is the St. An- thony High School. A school in which young men and young women are striv- ing to secure the practical education which will carry them across the wide ocean of life that confronts them, away from their minor base of learning. Here pupils prepare themselves either for a start in college or for a start into the world with a mere knowledge of a few of the things that will help them move the large boulders in their path and smooth the rough places in their long journey. A high school learning is a practical and moderate learning, which if used to the best of advantage should ht a man or woman for the world. But where the opportunity permits it, a higher standard of efficiency may be obtained by continu- ing the learning, which should fit all per- sons for any and all emergencies that may obstruct their passage through life. Such a learning does this little school on the bank of the Snake River offer for the ones who desire the opportunity spread before them. It is here where you are sent across the bay in the best boats the community can afford you, and it is here that you are granted your pas- sage on the ocean steamer whenever your standards meet the requirements of this little school huddled in the Valley of the Snake. 1‘age Twenty-two

SENIOR REPORT “Seniors meet in room three immedi- ately after dismissal.” We met, and thereby hangs a tale. Some said “pins” with considerable emphasis, and some said “rings,” and the result is we want to show our hands as much as possible. “Senior meeting after school.” Again we heard the fateful words, and again we were marshaled into the field of action, room three, and when we emerged it was to tell of the bloodiest battle ever fought in the ranks of the Senior class. Radford objected because he was afraid he would look like a girl and some of the other members of the class wanted them so they could look like certain other mem- bers. Calvin called Dewey a “cat” and Fred threatened to start a scandal about Bill Rider, while Hammond got almost to the court house to start divorce pro- ceedings. And so the battle raged for two and a half meetings, until the fellows succumbed to pleas and threats of the fairer sex, and we are going to appear during commencement week in caps and gowns. The class play, “The Stubbornness of Geraldine,” is rippin’ — really it is. Ger- aldine Lang, a sweet American girl, on her return to America meets a Count Kinsey, a foreigner who is traveling tin- der an assumed name. When she reaches home she discovers the sad but true fact that the course of true love seldom runs smooth! v. Of course in the end they are married and live happily. Lila is a most charming Geraldine, and Otto’s success is assured as Kinsey ; Lovisa shines as Frau- lein Ilandt, and Odette moves about in this heaven of stars as Mrs. Wrighton, while Calvin is her loving and dutiful husband. The superficial society ladies are played by Given and Florence. Eu- gene is the card shark, and Bah Jove ! vuh know, Arnold makes a rippin’ Lord Til- bury. “O ! I’m sure it’s going to be love- ly, perfectly lovely, that’s all,” says the ever-refreshing ingenue, Vi Tompson (Katie Rice) of Butte, Montana. In choosing the people for class honors, grades, attendance, deportment and stu- dent bodv activities are considered. The person having the highest standing in the class is Odette Patten, so of course she is valedictorian, and Genevieve Ar- nold is salutatorian. We wish to con- gratulate both of the girls most heartily. The Juniors are planning a banquet, complimentary to the Seniors, for April 20. If we may judge by past experiences in Junior activities, we may safely ex- pect a great time. The program for commencement week is practically arranged. Baccalaureate sermon — Sunday, May 6. Class day — Monday, 7th. Senior play— -Wednesday, 9th. Commencement — Thursday, 1 0th. After four t ears of hard work we are reach to leave school, but not without a little pang of regret at having to say good-bye to our care-free school life, and take up the responsibilities of real life.
