A Junior Romance Mrs. Ed Barlow, a widow, And-er-son were on their way to Scoville to spend the day. They had not gone Farr when she stopped short, Felt in her pocket and exclaimed, "By George, Ed! Why didn't you tell me I had forgotten the money to pay the Chandler for those candles Had I Be(e)n Young like you, I should not have Be(e)n so Green," and she continued to aBeus the Child as they walked down the Hill. A small stream was flowing at the bottom of the Hill, but Mrs. Barlow walked on as though she had not seen it. "Why, ma! what are you going to do? There is a Ditch! "Never mind, I Wil(l)ford it if we get drowned trying it." No sooner was this said than she heard a toot. She turned and saw an automobile coming down the Hill, running from one side of the road to the other. She gave a scream. It was evident that the driver was powerless. The machine was on strike. It was on the other side of the road, but with a quick turn, it switched over and pushed her into the Ditch, then gave another turn. The driver succeeded in inducing the machine to some to a standstill, and rushed back to the unfortunate woman. He began with soft words to sympathize with her, when she broke out: "Nix-on-it! I ain't a Collin' for no help from you. And such an aBeus! I won't Berret. One might think you had A-bee in your bonnet. Comin' down hill like an Earl or King, tootin' that thing what sounds like a Camp-bell, running over stray Fowles and decent people, and making them Bowns all over. I will get Evan with you, you Brewer-y smellin' varmint. I will Tel(1)ford about it." "But, Madam, I-one this car. I have paid its Price in Sterling silver." "None of your mouth, you Carbuncle. Foulger arms and wait here 'til I come back with the police." Then, pointing to the basket, "Pickett up and return that 'Darrel of the Blessed Isles' you tried to take." "But, Madam, I Cant-well wait here. I will tell the police-man that it was accidental and I tried to Warn-'er. My name is Ot Dixon. I will accompany you myself." So Mrs. Barlow compromised and walked with the gentleman to town His considerate attitude completely won her and she exclaimed to her son: I "Malan, Ed, ain't he swell? I have a mind to Marri-ot myself." And she did. She had a pretty Chinese maiden fix her Brown "Tressa and arrange her Batenburg trimmed dress and she and her Ed-ling came off Victors at last. Hurrah for the Class of '17! The whole school is surprised at the talent that our class has displayed. We have entered into contests with our upper class men and have held our own in many an interesting conflict. In the Essay contest on rug-weaving, Weber won the two first places in the High School division. In the Freshman-Sophomore division one of our bright, unassuming girls, Miss Vera Bailey, carried off first honors and a prize of eight dollars. In the inter-class debating series, we came out second. We met the mighty Seniors and our small but brave representatives (Ernest Wilkinson and Cedinia Bingham) put up a strong and consistent argument, and nearly succeeded in convincing the judges that there was no need for an increase in armament. The talent displayed was remarkable for a class so young in years. It was greater experience rather than greater ability that won the day for the Seniors. The famous and fascinating operetta, "Sylvia," was produced by the Sophomores on May 7th. The entire cast did excellent work and the production is a credit to our class as well as our Coach and Advisor, Wm. Manning. Josephine Shorten, in the leading role of "Sylvia," did exceptionally well, and Clara Brough, as "Betty," also charmed the audience. The heavier parts among the men were taken by Elwood Winters, as Prince Lacey; Wilfred Moench, as William, the Farmer, and Joseph Dies, as an English Prince. We are proud of our efforts and we feel that "Sylvia" was a complete success. We have also had a very good baseball team and succeeded in defeating the Freshmen several times. We did not succeed in winning any of the extemporaneous speaking con- tests, but our efforts were a decided credit to us. Much talent was displayed which, with a little development, will bring honor to us in the future. We feel sure of a successful year when we return to Weber next fall. As Juniors we will hold an important position in the school. Because of
