That love for things literary predom-
| mates at Sacred Heart was shown by
the third preparedness, who were I'M
willing to be left in the rear This they
! proved Monday last, when they gave
an excellent Hiawatha program. The
| students were elated over the lecture
| given February by E. A. Thompson,
and this energetic little class displayed
what favorable impression they re-
| ceived from the discourse.
Their room was changed into a veri
table wigWam, class colors of green and
white were suspended from the center to
the sides of the room and formed the
outline of an old aboriginal dwelling
Navajo blankets and Indian curios were
everywhere in evidence. The visiting
classes were seated in circles around
the imaginary tent. Each pupil read
descriptive sketch of the part of the
poem she liked best, and then quoted
from the poem. The selections were
given with an ease and comprehension
rarely found in pupils doing seventh
grade work. This novel little affair was
over all too soon, and the visitors re-
luctantly parted, praising very highly
the efforts of the earnest workers, and
wishing for another such q treat in the
near future.
RTdOudI6S
and third academies have been making
preparations for some time, was held
Thursday morning. Rev. Fathers
Cushnahan and Ryan. members of the
faculty, the classes, were present in the
library at 10 o'clock when an attempt
was made to settle the disputed Ques-
ton, Should Women Vote?" The cap
tains were Miss Mabel Krauss, 10, who
maintained that woman suffrage should
be abolished, and Miss Susie Jackman,
10, who held that it should be support
ed and strengthened. The statements
given by Miss Krauss were logical and
well expressed. Each opponent gave
her statements in such a manner that
one would think every girl felt it her
sole duty to convince all on the opposite
side that her conviction was correct
The rebuttals were animated and anus.
ing. Father Cushnahan, who was to
judge, said: Time alone can settle
such a momentous question, but as for
the merits Of the argument, the discus
sions on each side were excellent" One
of the best proofs that no feelings ex-
listed between the pro and anti suffra-
gettes, was to see them go to lunch
hand in hand, talking over the success
full termination of the much-dreaded
debate.
The majority of the pupils were very
gratified over the good report cards
which they could send home for Febru-
airy. Averages were read early in the
week. and the words of encouragement
which Father Cushnahan spoke after
distributing them were an Indictment
to renewed efforts for the remaining
months.
The fourth preparedness passed a
very successful examination in physiOl
ogy last Friday. AS it was the final
test in this study, each pupil was anX-
ious to do herself credit, and from all
accounts it was one of the most favor
able examinations held this session.
The only written tests during the past
week were two in ethics for the gradu-
ates, who are anxious to learn the re-
suits.
Miss Hazel Thorpe, Rock Springs,
Wyo., returned to school last Sunday.
III health has been the cause of her late
arrival. Miss Hazel was gladly re-
ceived by all old friends.
The Tout concert, so eagerly antici-
pated, was given last Thursday evening
in the Ogden tabernacle. The appointed
hour found a full house, and the audi
ence proved to be a very appreciative
one. Besides vocal numbers, Miss Tout
also favored the assembly with cello
solos, and sang several duets with her
father, Edward Tout. Miss Loretta
Malone, 'O9, again showed her ability
as an accompanist, and her many
friends were also pleased to hear her
excellent piano work.
Miss Rose Roche, who has been teach |
ing for the past year in Brigham spent |
Saturday and Sunday at her home in
this city.
