Show THE Facte Four VOICE CF SHARON Thursday. Mav LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Much Ado About Closing EDGEfilQlIT LITERARY I one. Among the interesting events of several tiie lawhile, closing school and seminary exercises which took place. They began with the Junior Awards Day Exercises when the students leaving junior high school were formally presented to friends and parents in compliment to their junior high accomplishments. There is no more interesting evening's entertainment in the world than that presented by a group of growing boys and gills of the same ages. Girls tall .and awkward beside girls of full girlish growth and as poised and graceful as adults. Boys, mostly still in the little-bo- y stage, all hands a id feet and liable to some violent silly outburst as an expression of their abundant energy inhibited by embarassment. abundant their However, we can truthfully say we have never seen more lovely looking girls, no matter what their stage of development, nor more appealing boys, no matter what the size of hands and feet and blushes. We were especially appreciative of" the splendid High School Band lead by Mr. Terry of which many members are junior high school students. Another ' never-fai- li 'g attraction to such programs is the informal and friendly attitude of Principal Jolley. His attitude and humor nor only endear him to acquaintances and audience but furnish a needed note in a program which tends to get stiff with formality and the scared efforts of students. Alpine Track Day The next event was Alpine Track Day which was held this year at the Lincoln High School. It was estimated by one of the teachers in attendance that there were be tween 2,000 and 2,500 youngsters present. For older people the most outstanding feature of that event of the collection was probably youthful spirits which, like most youthful spirits, went practically unchecked and revealed themselves in word, song, laugh and yell or some physical outburst with little or no provocation. It was, howcrowd ever, a as youth knows as to be. Of the athletic events, ho the posture parade stood out because of its beauty of execution, its large participation and the loveliness ot the girlish figures that exhibited themselves in brief cosThe tumes of black and white. untrained eye would not have to determine found it possible bfS wMrb crh'vrd performance in this parade, although the judges awarded the honor to Lincoln High School. The other athletic contests were up to standard but harder for most of us to be interested in because of the general feeling of slow tempo or too long a wait between events this in spite of the fact that several things were going on in three-rin- g circus eftect at the same time. Perhaps it was the blase air of the teachers or their seeming lack of excitement in comparison with the erratic outbursts of the students pr perhaps it was the competition the actors had in the gracefully wheeling sea gulls and the beau rful, sky overhead. Anyway, it was most successful track day, espe- cially if considered so by the number of hot dogs and ice cream cones cm sunied or the total hours the picture show was kept running to crowded houses. Seminary Jlxercisea And then came the Seminary Graduation Exercises and the dedication of the Stake Administrau tion Building. There were no notes in these exercises bi instead, fittingly, a good deal of dignity and reverence and beauty of thought and speech. A good many were deeply thrilled with spiritual feeling by the dedicatory prayer offered by Elder MacKay and again by his speech during the graduation exercises. A great number were unable to find seats in the auditorium. The a beautiful graduates , presented sight as they sat upon the stage in their light clothes with flowers so profusely used in decoration. Student talks were unusually well given and composed although their most appealing feature was in their beautiful youth expressing itself in such admirable ways. High School Graduation A fitting climax came with the High School Graduating Exercises whose interest to the public has grown each year so that the school auditorium again proved inadequate to hold those who came to attend. The audience would have felt itself rewarded for coming if there had been no more to the program than the march of the graduates and an evenings viewing of the beautiful picture they made individually as well as collectively. It is always something of a shock to see those whom we know so well, especially til their working clothes, make an entrance in evening attire that transforms them into creatures of loveliness and glamour Never have we seen a more beau-- j t.ful group of girls nor a more dressed one. Ail the beauT-j!!boys were suddenly not boys but young men of poise and d gnity, and seif confidence and abil.ty wclhe -t very Both students and parents are apand the preciative of teachers teachers are also happy to express their gratitude for the help they have been given. They all join together in wishing each other a happy an profitable vacation. 1 V , Last Night! (Thoughts while attending and Seminary Graduation Exercises.) By Cail Andreason Last night I saw a man of God. While visiting the Sharon Stake Seminary Graduation exercises my eye was drawn to a little fla-- h of light. The flash came at short intervals, first bright than dim. Imminds mediately I saw in my eye1 the beacon light along llj coast of "the North Sea. These great beacon lights flash a warning that danger is near, saving the souls of myraids of men in mortal .

This small flashing light of last in the mountains) 'a prayer of fill thankfulness and desire my being. O God I thank Thee for life and for the parents which gave me my heritage. I thank thee for the living testimony which fills my soul and holds me apart from the sins of the world. Grant that I mav never fall into the paths of transgression, but that every day I may become stronger and more willing to do the right. Bless me with wisdom, love, and light. I thank thee for my body of strength. Help me to keep it always clean and strong, that my children may always be proud of me and rise up and call me blessed. I thank thee for the. inspired men that stand at the head of the church. May they but realize peoples love for them and gain happiness through service. Pam especially thankful for the life of President David O. McKay and my acquaintance with him. Each clasp of his hand, each glance of his eye is living love to me. Father in Heaven, grant tne the privilege of walking and talking with him for just one hour in one of your holy sanctuaries, that my s tH is m " life might he patterned after hi? j As I sit here alone in one of If I am worthy of this, grant it to ' Gods temples of nature, (a spot m night was merely the reflection of an electric light on the stick pin in President David O McKays tie, flickering and flashing with each breath he drew. Insignificant, and yet back of that reflection of light was a greater light than any manmade beacon. A man of God I saw. As I looked into his eyes and realized his presence it seemed that all was peace and I was in a different sphere. Then he arose to his feet and spoke. Every world a sermon every sentence a warning or guide, aving the souls of men, not in mere mortal life, but inspiring them to push on, to aspire even to eternal life. I saw youths in all their beauty, each one a ray of the Glory of God; I saw loving teachers, proud that they had had a part in moulding the individualities of each student. Farents with heads held high because they had such sons and daughters to offer the world and justly could they hold their heads aloft.

Their most outstanding membership among the girls is large and the work is found to be most interesting and very helpful. The work is sponsored by the Extension National Agriculture System and is endeavoring to help boys and girls in rural communities by inspiring and training them in certain phases of their work so that they will be mqre successful aim ippy in it. They are taught through practical experience in agricultural and home economic work. Besides that, they learn that cooperation is a fundamental feature of achievement and to develope their minds and bodies so that they may become perfect machines for the accomplishing of their will. It teaches them to cherish heailh and provides training in social conduct. It offers an opportunity for service through civic projects, it devel-ope- s pride in true sportsmanship and creates a love for good liter 4-- ature and good music. Through competition it urges bos and gills to put foth tluir bi't efforts and express their best sehes. Pleasant View and Edgemont have eight clubs. 1 luy have taken such projects as food preparation and preservation, clothing studies, personality and charm, home furnishings and equipment. .There are two clubs in Edgemont lead by Mrs. Martha Stewart, Mrs. Eva Gillespie, Mis.

Cuambrrlin In the winter and spiing of 1934 a group of Edgemont ladies attend- ed an Adult Education Class un- der the leadership of Mrs. Emma Waktf.eld of Provo. The course studied was one in giammar and short story telling. The following winter Mrs. Ora directed the same Cunningham ladies m another class of grammar and poetry. At the conclusion oi this class the ladies realized the need in the community for a school in which they could express themselves, and overcome their fear of talking before an audience. Knowing that few ladies had time to read the current books they decided to have a club and each woman be responsible for reviewing one book during the year. On March 8, 1935 Edgemont Literary Gub was organized with the following officers: Nellie Chamberlain president; Kacheal Mecbam, secretary and treasurer; Joanna Boyce and Effie Pmegar, councilors. The ladies adopted this motto We Stand foi happiness through Mental Growth. At present there is a membership of twenty three ladies, and they meet twice monthly. As an introduction to the the life of a musician or author, a current event or a short travelogue of a state is given. The book list includes as many of the outstanding books as are available. Gub members are as follows: Nellie Chamberlain, Rachel Mech-aJoanna Boyce, Effie Pincgar, Martha Stewart, Lydia Ilogan, Flora Bigler, Eva Gillespie, Florence Chamberlain, Cordelia Booth, Grace Peay, Matilda Booth, Emma Brereton, Jessie Smith, Annie GilHelen lespie, Ora Cunningham, Gordon, LaVern Jones, Loleta Piv-oEsie Campbell, Loia Wiscomb, Zana Madsen and Ezetta Johnson. s' iGX , , pro-gia- GULFWE1GHT by HART SCHAFFNER & MARX d If its too hot today for suits summer too early for tropicals, how effectively the new Gulfweight solves year-roun- ... your problem. $30 -- C of C $35 Style Leadership Beautification (Continued from page one) be the mo- -t necessary features of your own project so plan now to enter.
