I coudn't see no kids whut I new nur I coudn't git in the wright subjects I wuz gointa take nether. But they treet a feller swell enywey-All them teachers of ourn give us a big dance they sed wus a Recepshiin wright after we come. Then nor onley that but but they shure tried to make us fellers feal to home. We even had a hike and o boy we had fun. We went up a mountain so we could see some scenry and Donn Sturt, he's our S. B. presedent, Pop, he tried to paint an old pole whut wuz up there an he spilled the paint all inside his overalls. He looked so pur and white, and us kids most dide laffing at him. But lissen pop, dont think it is all fun heer, we have to studdy hard gust the same. And theyve got a hole lot of oppertunnities to-The Barker Oritoricall Contest is one of them. I tride to speke at one but gosh, Grant and Rig and some of them uther kids hav got me all skinned. Mabe Ill try agin tho. O and Pop dont fergit to tell Mom that I made the football teem. Im shore a keen player, two. We played our first game with snow, thats a collidge, pop, and me and Monk and Pete licked them 42 tu nothin. And guess what, maybe I hadnt ourght to tell ya, but-Ive met the nicest gurl, gee pop they have swell gurls at Weeber. This here one tho, she's just like mom in a way, purty ez evrything and I took her to the Sophs party and dance thut they giv at a peach of a place called the Eckles home. You see shes a soph and so thae let me go. Their kinda funy about us freshies, the untellegint Sophs try to kepe us out of evrything. Enyway I like Liza Ann (thets her name). Shes a nice girl to. The next day in assembly that was Oct. 15, we had our next Barker Oratoricle contest and Liza Ann spoke. I just gave her my "whole harted suport" but luck seamed to bee against her and Larence VanDike won it. Enyway I liked her speech lots the best. The 23rd was our football game with the Idaho Tech. I couldn't take Liza Ann with me, but she come to see me play enyway. And I could heer her yellin for me to beat the band, and I know thats why our team won. I made one of the best plays of the hole year. I carried the ball from one end of the field rite doun to the goal. Kvrybudy just yelled and screemed like they was wild. The score was 6 to 3, and I made 4 points. Eliza Ann was sure proud of me after that game. I tuk her to the dance that nite and she luked so purty and I blieve she liked me more thun ever after that game. Im sure it must have been the game pop, cus I was so stiff an sore I couldn' dance desent nur nothin. A few days after, I took Liza Ann to the Freshmen party. It wuz held in the balroom of the Ekles home and wuz the swellest affare Ive ever been to. An boy, they gave us the swellest eats, I felt like I wuz home. Thet remines me school closes thursday. gee I wish I could come home. Are you goin to hav a turkey? Tell granma Id enjoy some of that puddin of hers rite now. I gess I'll have to eat at Ross and Jacks, thats where all us football fellers eat after sckool. I want to tell you about what a good sckool we got. Evrybudy wurked so hard to advertise the game thet the sckool decided we all ought too see the game. An gess what they did. They shut down sckool and hired trucks and let us all go up to Logan. I sure got a lot of edjucatin that day, altho we didnt get much noledge out of books. Anywey it learned me whut sckool spirit wuz. The truck I wuz in got a flat tire and it wouldnt go up the steep hills nor anything, but enyway we all got out and pushed. And one of the trucks coudnt come fast at all and the people whut wuz in that truck wuz awfully late, but when they got their they yelled just as much as the rest of them did. I learned a lot of songs that day too. one of them wuz Ki, yi, yi, yi, we are students in our war cry Ki, yi, yi, yi, we are students in our war cry We are out to win our fame We are out to win this game Ki, yi, yi, yi, ki, yi, yi, yi, ki, yi, yi, yi, YIH! Its a Injun song. Ill sing it and dance it for you when I git home, but I dont blieve enyone could do it like our yell leader Garnet does. And the best time of all come on the way back after we won the game 20-19. Pop, ive been wishin that sometime or uther I could hav gone on a mission. All the swellest fellers in this school belong to a club thats called the Missionaries and let me tell ya, pop, they sure no there stuff. Some of the fellers can talk in every langwage maginable and they can talk fer hours and hours. Its shure great. They all talked in asembly one day and Liza Ann she hardly spoke to me at all but kept lukin an lukin at those missionary fellers all the time an it made me kind of mad, tho I didnt say nuthin. Enyway the next day the 4th of nov. i thot id get even and so I tried to show her that I could talk just as good as those fellers, and so I talked for the 4th Barcker contest in asembly. I certinly had a take-down that day tho fer I had to surrender to a woman, Alice Tanner, i desided enyway that wimmin allways cud talk more than men. I had a hard time to make up with Liza Ann after that. But I gess she thot that she ought to use her sckool spiret; noing that us football fellers had to pley Westminster that night. So she forgave me fer being so jellous about her paying so much attention to them missionaries, and we made up by goin down to Salt Lake to the game, (of course Liza had to go with the other football feller's girls cuz I was playin. I was shore glad I took Liza Ann to that game, cause it was a walk away. You can just imag'm-the score was 32-7 for Weber. |
