Show 0GDEN, UTAH. (Special Correspondence.) At 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, in the assembly hall of the academy, the members mem-bers of the class of 1909 presented a literary lit-erary and musical program of excellence and variety. Upon the artistically draped stage sat the graduates, with the American flag as a background, while the colors of the class, crimson and white, were prominent in the floral decorations. The main feature of the entertainment entertain-ment consisted of readings from the school paper, The Star of the West, edited by the class of '09, each member reading, in most cases, her own contributions. contri-butions. The selections ranged from grave to gay, in prose and verse, with some appropriate national touches and clevel local hits. Very creditable were the short stories, with a well concealed denoument in each case holding the interest in-terest until the close. The young ladles acquitted themselves in a very pleasing pleas-ing manner. The music numbers, also by members of the class, were rendered with artistic grace and finish, displaying marked variety. va-riety. At its conclusion Father Cushnahan, in his ever felieitious manner, congratulated congratu-lated the young ladies on the matter contained in their paper and on the manner in which it was delivered, and as a word from the pastor of St. Joseph's Jo-seph's and the friend of Sacred Heart is all the commendation the pupils desire, de-sire, the congratulations were an earnest ear-nest of the Jhappy Thanksgiving day all spent. The enthusiasm its celebration celebra-tion should awaken was heightened, by Father Cushnahan's patriotic allusion , to the holiday, and his wise suggestion as to the manner of spending it. re minding all that its name indicated the way in which it should be observed, for every heart should be lifted "to Him from whom all blessings flow." Besides Father Cushnahan. Father Ryan also honored the occasion, as did tieveral of the parents and friends of the pupils. Though the later hours of Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing day were spent in pleasure devised and enjoyed according to the taste of the pursuer, some at the game, some: at the matinee p,Tid others quietly at home, all at Sacred Heart joined in the morning act of praise to God the. Mighty Giver. Mass was celebrated at St. Joseph's church at o'clock, and an appropriate sermon was delivered by the pastor. No holiday followed Thanksgiving at Sacred Heart. Studies were resumed with earnestness Friday morninng, and in many classes special written tests were given. In an educational institution institu-tion of this kind there are so many studies stu-dies pursued, and so many accomplisli- ments requiring extra time, that every minute Is precious, and no extra holidays holi-days can be granted, much to the annoyance an-noyance of pupils now. perhaps, but to their dellsrht in the future.
