Show STUDENT LIFE 68 last forever It is the life which causes the d professor to look into the fire and smile sadly It is the time when strong hearts beat quickly and the sturdy mind sees nothing in life but good It is the picture of a small gray-heade- room full of large souls Popular tradition supplies the thick smoky atmosphere and the champagne It is the existence which spreads a haze to cover all of the defects of your student life The Filcher The Filcher we have always with us lie is a slippery monster devoid of all the qualities A possessed by the honorable horse thief horse thief by the way is a person to be honored He always has an element in him which inspires at least respect But the filcher— who could find it in his heart to think of him with any other feelings than those In a He inspired by the snake-cag- e is a veritable amoeba assimilating all that he comes In contact with and yet he possesses a higher discriminative power than his protoplasmic friend ne has a knack of always getting the best pair of rubbers He is an aristocrat in some respects disdaining a pair of gloves with a hole in them or a hat with a side-sho- w wrinkled band As for books he is not so particular Anything from a treatise on hydraulics to a pocket dictionary is acceptable ne differs slightly from Bacon in that he believes all books without a name on every page are to be digested What’s in a name anyhow? But the filcher has his good side Everything has if we can only find it We are inclined to think that he is a philosopher ne seems to believe in the communistic theory of government and that possession is four points of the law ne is experimenting on a small scale The only trouble is he may sometime give himself a weigh Miss Pike Miss Annie Pike recently elected to succeed Miss Baker as instructor In English took up her labors at the College Feb 8 Unlike the other newly elected members of the faculty Miss Pike is a native of Utah the daughter of Dr W R Pike of Provo City She course of the B Y Academy of that city with the degree of B S For a short time after graduation she studied in the State University and then accepted a position as teacher in the public Later she entered schools at Payson Utah the University of Michigan where she studied During English Elocution and Literature the last semester she has labored as teacher in English Literature and Elocution in the B Y Academy Provo Utah In addition to her ability and experience as a teacher Miss Tike is a clever writer In the spring of 1900 she won the oral narrative contest between the University of Utah and B Y Academy Since that time a number of interesting short stories of her composition have appeared in the Young Woman’s Journal We hope that our journal will soon become one of the favored ones thus enabling us to present to our readers contributions from Miss Pike which we feel sure will help make “Student Life” bright and readable The poems in this issue have appeared in other publications and are reprinted by permission graduated from the six-ye- ar Midsummer Night's Dream Arrangements have been definitely completed for the public presentation of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream by the girls of the Sorosis Society The cast of characters is made up entirely of ladies representing the strongest dramatic talent of the college Rehearsals are proceeding regularly and the rapid Improvement indicates a high degree of excellence by the time of the presentation The first public performance will be given in the Thatcher Opera house on the evening of Friday March 27 Due notice will be given of the sale of scats and of other details connected with the largest home talent performance Logan has ever seen All accessories such as costumes scenic effects incidental music and choruses will be of the highest standard —in other words the Sorosis standard The management is already considering the advisability of arranging a second local performance and of making a short tour of the leading Utah cities Let us all— as the show-bill- s say— “remember 27 1903 and the date” March the day |
