Show 16 ACORN The Sophs and Juniors immediately took it upon themselves to disfigure the whole skylight by daubing several ugly '15s and '16s in place of the '14s. During the night a brigade of Seniors with scrub-brush, soap and water succeeded in removing all the paint from the skylight. Then, with artistic skill, painted a silver-colored '14. The next morning the Sophs attempted to smear the numerals with tar paint; but the more tar they wasted the brighter the silver numerals shone. The wise Seniors had outwitted their friends. Since the last rampage on the roof the Sophs and Juniors have been thinking of some plan by which they can "get even" with their Seniors. The Girls Entertain On February 20 the Domestic Science and Arts' girls gave an elaborate dancing party. The hall was tastefully decorated with American flags, in honor of "The Father of Our Country," whose birthday they were celebrating. A tea garden, where refreshments were served, proved inviting. Many other splendid features were characteristic of the girls' art. The future homemakers of Ogden certainly make theory pracitical work, when they entertain and decorate. Elections The Student Body and Class Elections will occur during the third or fourth week before the close of this school year. In previous years the days prior to the one on which the candidates for office are nominated witness much enthusiasm and campaign spirit. During the campaigns for candidates a great deal of rivalry has been shown, and gerrymandering has been carried on to the extent that some of the candidates have been nominated by political machines. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, let's do away with this unfair practice let's work for the best officers. Good officers mean unity in the Student Body. Let us be united, then we will have better school government and more work. (Editor's Note This is an Editorial, but was placed in this department so that the students would read it.) ACORN 17 Senior Notes For sometime the Seniors who won out in the tryouts for the class play have been rehearsing under the direction of Miss Kathryn Bassett. The play was presented for the first time at Hooper, on March 14. On March 16 it was given at Plain City. On the 28th day of March the troupe played before a large audience in the Huntsville Opera House. These attempts have proved to be very successful. The trips have been very enjoyable, and all the cast are looking forward to others they have planned to take in the near future. In January the Seniors gathered to participate in a cooking party in the school kitchen. Everyone helped to prepare the supper, so of course it was exceedingly good. The tables were spread and all enjoyed the eating part. Art Brown said he can mash potatoes now as good as anybody. Principal Henderson, and our class advisor, Male Watson, were present. After eating all they could, the members of the class went up to the Assembly Hall and spent a pleasant hour in dancing. This was our first cooking party, and it was declared to be the most successful that we have had during the year. On the evening of April 3rd, the girls of the class, dressed in aprons, and the boys, in overalls and jumpers, assembled at the Fourth Ward Hall for a "hard times" party. The fun began about 8:30 and never ceased until a late hour. The program of amusements consisted of dancing, games and a general good time. Salted peanuts, satin sticks and punch were served as refreshments. Junior Notes It was Junior morning, Wednesday, March 11. After devotional the Principal announced that the choir "would march down and the Juniors would march up." We unfurled a banner inscribed, "Please excuse our dust." A presentation of the silver loving cup by Principal W. W. Henderson was made to the Juniors because of our having won the inter-class debate. Lisle Bramwell, our president, came forward and accepted the cup. He said "That the '15 inscribed on the cup certainly did look fine," and modestly stated that the Juniors had won every inter-class contest this year. The debating team, consisting of LeRoy Leishman, Wilmer Jensen and Cora Kasius, then spoke. Miss Kasius read letters from each of the defeated teams stating why each had lost; she then explained |
