That love for things literary predominates predom-inates at Sacred Heart was shown by the third preparatories, who were unwilling un-willing to be left in the rear. This they proved Monday last, when they gave an excellent Hiawatha program. The students were elated over the lecture given February 8 by E. A. Thompson, and this energetic little class displayed what a favorable impression they received re-ceived from the discourse. Their room was changed into a verl table wigwam, class colors of green and white were suspended from the center to the sides of the room and formed the outline of an old aboriginal dwelling. Navajo blankets and Indian curios were everywhere in evidence. The visiting classes were seated in circles around the imaginary tent. Each pupil read a descriptive sketch of the part of the poem she liked best, and then quoted from the poem. The selections were given with an ease and comprehension rarely found in pupils doing seventh grade work. This novel little affair was over all too soon, and the visitors reluctantly re-luctantly parted, praising very highly the efforts of the earnest workers, and wishing for another such a treat in the near future. The debate for which the graduates and third academics have been making preparations for some time, was held Thursday morning. Rev. Fathers Cushnahan and Ryan, members of the faculty, the classes, were present in the library at 10 o'clock when an attempt was made to settle the disputed question,' ques-tion,' "Should Women Vote?" The captains cap-tains were Miss Mabel Krauss, '10, who maintained that woman suffrage should be abolished, and Miss Susie Jackman, '10, who held that it should be supported support-ed and strengthened. The statements given by Miss Krauss were logical and wen expressed. .Each opponent gave her statements in such a manner that one would think every girl felt it her sole duty to convince all on the opposite side that her conviction was correct. The rebuttals were animated and amusing. amus-ing. Father Cushnahan, who was to Judge, said: "Time alone can settle such a momentous question, but as for the merits of the argument, the discussions discus-sions on each side were excellent." One of the best proofs that no feelings existed ex-isted between the pro and anti suffragettes, suffra-gettes, was to see them go to lunch hand in hand, talking over the successful success-ful termination of the much-dreaded debate. The majority of the pupils were very gratified over the good report cards which they could send home for February. Febru-ary. Averages Were read early in the week, and the words of encouragement which Father Cushnahan spoke after distributing them were an incitement to renewed efforts for the remaining months. The fourth preparatories passed a very successful examination in physiology physiol-ogy last Friday. As it was the final test in this study, each pupil was anxious anx-ious to do herself credit, and from all accounts it was one of the most favor able examinations held this session. The only written tests during the past week were two in ethics for the graduates, gradu-ates, who are anxious to learn the results. re-sults. Miss Hazel Thorpe, Rock Springs, Wyo., returned to school last Sunday. Ill health has been the cause of her late arrival. Miss Hazel was gladly received re-ceived by all old friends. The Tout concert, so eagerly anticipated, antici-pated, was given last Thursday evening in the Ogden tabernacle. The appointed hour found a full house, and the audience audi-ence proved to be a very appreciative one. Besides vocal numbers, Miss Tout also favored the assembly with cello solos, and sang several duets with her father, Edward Tout. Miss Loretta Malone, '09, again showed her ability as an accompanist, and her many friends were also pleased to hear her excellent piano work. Miss Rose Roche, who has been teaching teach-ing for the past year in Brigham, spent Saturday and Sunday at her home in this city. MARGUERITE E. M'NULTY, '10. |
