MAYBELLE FRANDSEN'S LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IN THE MT. PLEASANT PYRAMID

 

MR. AND MRS. HERMAN BECK CELEBRATE THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

 

THE THUNDER MUG ~~~~ BY OWEN SANDERS

 

This Bowl is not a cookie jar

Nor a porcelain pot for pickles;

But it is a thunder-mug

For Brisk nocturnal trickles!

This portable, versatile vessel

Artistic, or very plain

Was a blessing to the occupant

To ease the night-time strain.

It was easily clutched by a frantic hand

When the urgent call came ringing

And the muted vibrations

Could set the crock'ry singing.

On frosty nights, the chilling rim

Near shocked the sagging rear;

Thus, timid souls with dainty skin

Oft' viewed this pot with fear.

They perched in regal splendor

Upon this porcelain throne;

And endless thoughts were siftedOf problems in the home

For musical notes rang down the scale

From peals to thunderous rumbles;

And saved some sleepy footsteps

O'er trails beset with stumbles.

It changed the chore of midnight strolls

For half a lot or more;

And hazards of the winding trail

Beneath the glinting star.

Disposal was a dreary drudge

Where no one volunteered;

So mothers had the dismal chore

Ere morning sun appeared.

When tub and privy moved indoors

To occupy a closet,

The thunder-mug lay silent

And receive no more deposit.

Give us friends of yester-year

But not the sledge and axe;

Give us comforts that we love

But not a crushing tax.

Let us twang our heart strings

With one nostalgic tug;

But save us from the usage

Of the gleaming Thunder-Mug!

We often yearn for "The Good Old Days"

Before life's grand completion;

But the Thunder-Mug is one device

We'd ask for a firm deletion!!!

NORTH SANPETE HIGH SCHOOL 1916

Graduates of Class 1916 Plan a reunion. North Sanpete High School may have changed considerably in the past 50 years, but the fond memories of the graduating class of 1916 are still vivid among those who attended 

the school at that time.
