From the financial standpoint the carnival was the most successful for several1 years. Prof. Lester Hinchcliff and Mrs. Hinchcliff attended the concert in Salt Lake Monday night. Les couldn't afford to miss a musical treat of that sort. Le Conte Stewart .of the art department, returned to school Monday after a week's absence due to illness.

Noall, sent the high school Monday a great pamphlet of material on part time education in Utah., THE CITY OF STARS. At the foot of the majestic Ben Lomond, cupped within the horny hand of the Wasatch mountains, lies a myjstie city. From lofty peaks and proud pinnacles Aurora, her alded by a paling sky and fading stars, descends. She melts the morning mists that rise in curling vapors to kiss her rosy fingers. At eventide, Apollo dips beneath the dimpled surface of Great Salt Lake. His fiery splendor transforms the fleecy clouds into tongues of living flame. In the mystic city the windows of the fairy palaces catch the blood-red reflection and flaunt it "back to the sky. Dusk, clothed in veTVet garments, walks through the streets, and the myriad lights of the city twinkle to greet her arrival. Seen frolrh the hills these lights are as lanterns swaying to and fro toy-like gardens in Japan. They gleam like jewels, lying in dew-drenched grasses; they flicker like stars dropped into the spacious lap of Mother Nature. Some call this fairy playground Ogden, but to me, it is the City of Stars!-Elva King. |
