That Is the motto OF the senior class
OF the Salt Lake High school, Last
evening In the Theater they illustrated
the force and beauty Of their chosen
sentiment. For two solid hours they
amused an audience that packed the
old house to swelterlng, and twas we'll
But this amusement brought instruc.
tion to the duck-clad junior class, and
twas better.
The naughty twos" had their in
ming. II was senior class day and
their canoe for testing and singing and
gay frolicking had come. They did all
TINS 70 their hearts content. and to the
entertainment of their many friends,
The whole evening went with a dash
ana go that was highly pleasing
. on the evening previous the digni
led seniors had been compelled to Sit
IN the dress circle and see themselves
held up TO the public eye, abbreviated
hair and other shortcomings, as OBJ
jects OF rldicule. They had laughed
and applauded when the juniors sang
alleged senior songs and exposed what
seemed 70 be the senior program. But
last night came their chance to laugh,
and IT was a merry ha! ha, They sang
songs that didn't In the least sound
Ike those OF the junior coup, while
the program as a whole had no resem-
blance.
IL certainly was a splendid entertain
ment provided by the seniors, and they
have every reason in the world TO feel
proud about It. The hits were pointed,
the jokes clever, the songs catchy and
well sung; in fact, the rendition of the
songs was the very best thing on the
program. There were any number OF
them, and they We're given spiritedly
and with feeling.
The nature of the entertainment had
n considerable leaning toward yaude-
ylle though there was one central idea
running through all of the acts. This
central idea was to put II all over the
juniors, as could be seen from the title
given the whole, "Jovial Jolts for jay
Juniors" The first Jolt was titled
THE Eye-opener," and consisted Of a
very pretty class song and the pres
dents address, by Nicholas Smith The
scene was the assembly room Of The
school.
The second Jolt, which was given the
title. "Jolt twoth." consisted of Foxy
Stunts by Foxy People" Thirty-six Of
the senior girls sang a song about the
three classes the mid-years, the
freshmen and the sophomores. 1t was
a costume affair and was very prettiIy
done, an encore being called for
Then came the solar plexus, the

The big chiefs of the junior class sat
around the fire, talked war, and tried
to decide what TO do TO the seniors. 1t
was a burlesque on the alleged council
which the lower class held before the
big halr-cutting bee OF recent memory.
Arthur Murphy in his speech showed |
more than a little dramatic ability, |
getting @ hearty round Of applause.
The last OF the jolts was called the |
Knockout" which appealed to the au- |
dience as appropriate The junior par
ty given some time ago was burlesqued,
the braves Of the tribe and the girls |
dancing the Virginia Reel. and endeay- |
oring In as graphic manner as pos
sible, TO show the idea of a good time |
held by their friends of the junior class.
"By special request" q bunch Of
senior visitors entertained the junior
dancers. Arthur Murphy, Lewis Sowles
and Merit Wheeler were the bunch"
and their entertainment consisted Of a
little song. II was decidedly well done.
and got It's measure of applause.
The last scene represented the senior

ment. A song called Junior Colors"
vas very well sung by the class, and
