Show EMERY STAKE ACADEMY We are all very busy preparing for exams and are making every movement move-ment count before the coming holidays. holi-days. Brother Halverson is working diligently with the choir and also the band for the concert. We feel that our devotional exercises exer-cises are exceptionally instructive and interesting this year. Every third Friday Fri-day we have separate meetins when some one from outside the school talks to both the boys and the girls : and we receive council and advice that is very beneficial to us and not only helps us in our school life bnt we feel it will make an impression on our characters. Monday Brother Martin Mar-tin gave a very impressive talk on determination. Tuesday Brother Anderson An-derson in his usual droll manner spoke spo-ke on the necessity of concentrating our minds on the particular subject we were studying at one time and not be trying to study one lesson and carry on a conversation at the same time. Last week Bro. Baird gave us a very instructive talk also. We feel that It is very advantageous to have these little talks occasionally in our devotion. devo-tion. They not only add interest but are uplifting and promote the helpfulness help-fulness of the school. There has been a great deal of rivalry riv-alry between the different classes in selling tickets for the concert next Wednesday night, creating a great deal of fun. We feel we are going to have a rare treat in witnessing the basketball basket-ball game between the Huntington high school team and our own E. S. A. boys. We are sure it will be the best game of the season. Just come and see and then you can judge for yourselves! |
