FEBRUARY ECOMOMIZE YOUR TIME ON SATURDAYS There seems to be a tendency among our students to neglect their lessons until Sunday and then stay home from the Sunday services to study, take a walk or ride. If they knew how many good sermons and fine musical numbers were given they would lay other things aside long enough to attend. For students studying theology, as we do in this school, there can be no better way of gaining spiritual knowledge than attendance at these meetings. If the time wasted on Saturday was spent studying, students would not need to neglect their religious duties on the Sabbath on account of lessons. The sixth and seventh grades of our training school presented two original dramas in the opera house February 15 and 17, to the patrons of the school. The teachers, Karl Snow and Guy Hafen, are to be complimented for their excellent plan of bringing the school work before the public in such a vital way. Both plays were exceptionally good. The large crowds in attendance both nights show how much it was appreciated. On February the tenth the Ag 15. 1917. ricultural Gollege Glee Glub, under the leadership of Prof. G. R. Johnson, gave a concert, in the tabernacle, which compared favorably with any of the Lyceum numbers we have had so far this year. The individual numbers and the choruses were greatly appreciated for the talent and team work displayed. The musical talent revealed by the male voices is evidence of the fact that we have wonderful ability near at hand, and do not have to leave our state to hear and see the best productions in music and other lines of art. There is a great need for reform in regards to maintaining order in the study rooms. In some of the rooms which are supposed to be open for study, conditions are such that from the amount of noise and disturbance made one would think the rooms were reserved as nurseries or play rooms. It is impossible for students who do study to use these rooms, and those people who do not study are wasting much valuable time, not only their own, but that of students who come to school to work. When no one loves you it is because your own loving machine is rusty. A Message From One Of Our Old Students Trinidad, Colorado, Feb. (, 1917. Dear Friend Rachel: I received the 0 wl and cannot tell you how much I enjoy it. My heart is with the Dixie and always will be and I do enjoy knowing what the school is doing. I have worked in three of the; largest cities of Colorado, have met some of the finest people, had many experiences and seen many grand sights, but still I long for the day to return home to dear old friends in Dixie. I enjoy my work wherever I go for I feel like the little poem that says: If you want to work in the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like, You neednt slip your clothes in a grip And start, on a long, long hike. Youll only find what, you left be- hind, For theres nothing thats really new, Its a knock to yourself when you knock your town, It isnt the town Its you. Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead, When everyone works and nobody shirks You can raise a town from the dead. And while you make your personal stake Your neighbors can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see It isnt the town its you. I think this can be applied to the school as well. Owl continue to IVlay the grow and be a success is the wish of your friend, Effie Blazzard. (Effie is one of the graduates of 1916, now on a mission to the Western States.) |
