YEAR REPORT SECOND The rallied Second Years have all to the call to arms after halt and their ranks are filled with ambitious, studious, soldiers, ready to defend the institution with their bayonets of wisdom and intelligence. They are now, looking forward to the arrival of Leadership to one s self, made on promises January 1st, with expectation of breaking them on or before Jan 2nd. A resolution as futile, is dead almost before it is bom. Wisdom would suggest that it be substituted for a lot of good earnest thinking based on dreams that make for action and results. With this idea in view the Sophomores intend to spend leisure time. In thinking of ways and means of getting on the good side of the alert cops. In thought that will net final marks to at least a C. In convincing ourselves that a show once a week and four dances a month is good mental and physical exercise. In forgetting to worry about the length of tomorrows assign- ments.

If we spend our time thus profitable, we are sure, when it comes to paying up for every idle resolution, to find very little to answer for on the judgment day.

Alma Wakeling heaved a sigh of relief after reading the following letter, which he received recently. New Years Jewish. Darling Friend: I hate to write you but the time has come when I must ask you a serious question, the contemplation of which, has caused me much restless anxiety. You will understand my reluctance in writing you, regarding a matter of so great an importance when I tell you many lives have been upset by similiar troubles. I tell you I feel you should know the worst at once, for in all sincerity it means life or death to me. I shall not communicate the state of my mind to anyone else as you must know that most people are too engrossed in their own troubles to shed tears over the cares and troubles of others. So in my sincerity I appeal to Two Sides or More There are always two sides to a story, And sometimes there are three of four And after Ive pondered the subject, It seems there could be still more. For often we hear the remark made But Oh, he (or she) is to blame. lets not be narrow remember That each plays a part in the game. We wear the brand of the ignorant, hen we pose blameless but sore, For there are always two sides to a story, And sometimes there are three or four. Olive Brooks. are near our standing. V. M.

The Woodward School is pushing to the front in athletics. Its boys are fitting representatives of the school since they uphold and stand for the things that are right. They enjoy playing and they play fast, clean, and fair. They have played three games with outside schools and have been victorious in two of them. They are now contemplating a game to be played with the Toquerville school on Jan. 14 and it promises to be very good. Our prospects for success for the remainder of the year look bright and with the backing of our Junior High School organization, we intend to win the pennant from the other schools of the county that Dec. 16 : went.

THE AMITIA CLUB It has long been a desire of the Amitia Club to have a ladies rest room in the College building. This year the officers have been making investigations as to the possibilities for such a room. The faculty and student body officers have been consulted and everyone seems in favor of the project. The officers of the Amitia Club intend to stay with the idea until it materializes, and the room and other necessities are provided. THE GERMAN CLUB The German Club has met regularly each week since its orAt each meeting a ganization. very interesting program was given. The two programs already given consisted of stories, songs, and poems. These, of course, were delivered in German. The time after the program was devoted to speaking practice. During this time no English whatever was allowed. A fine of one cent per word is required of any person speaking English during this time. The members of the club feel that it is very beneficial to them, as they receive the practice of speaking the German language that they would not otherwise have. We have a very efficient set of officers and they are doing all in their power to make the club worth while. Come and visit us and see for yourself what we are doing. We wish you all a Frolihihe Weinachten and Ein Gludlishes Neu Jahr.

Dont forget February 5. Ben Jonson. - President Woodrow Wilson once said that in the modern college the sideshows have swallowed the main circus. If we examine the college curricula we discover how meager are the contributions, actually to be derived from the studies toward the making of enlightened and practical citizenship a citizenship suited to the complicated demands of a twentieth century democracy. We also note that a large portion of the working energies of our students are given to the superficial and Mrs. Annie Pike Greenwood, dramatic reader and poet, entertained the students of the institution at a recital Thursday afternoon in the Auditorium. Mrs. Greenwood is one of the few Utah artists who is both reader and composer and the recital she gave consisted of a rendition of her own poems, and an explanation of the source of insipration for each poem.
