Opened with prayer by Sister Peel.
Minutes of a former meeting were read and accepted.
Sister Morrison expressed herself with satisfaction.  She spoke about having the meeting house cleaned,said it devolved upon us sisters to do it.  Sister Peel made some remarks in her own language.  Sister Peterson reminded us of the New Year and hoped we should all meet again with as many more.
Sister Morrison made a few remarks concerning the "U.O." Said that President Young is the mouthpiece of God unto us in these the Last Days and that it is essential to us as baptism for the remission of sins.  Do not condemn anyone that cannot see into it.  Also, she wished the sisters to visit Andrew Christensen's wife and sit up nights with her.  Trina Synegore was appointed teacher in the 3rd ward to accompany Sister Strem.

Emma Lund, An Early Teacher and Class 1908-1909

These  two pictures come from the Hamilton school. Emma Lund was a

teacher there after she graduated from high school. You have posted a

picture called Hamilton teachers that was taken on the same day as

these two. I believe these were taken around 1908/1909. The first

photograph is of the teachers, the second is Emma Lund with her class.

I would love it if anyone could name any of the students.

Alice Whittling Whistles (approximately 1980)

In the Spring of the year when the sap is up in the willows, it is easy to make a whistle. Cut a length of willow, from between two branches so it has no knots (1).

Carve a notch halfway through the stem. Cut just through the bark and then slide the bark sleeve off the stem (2).

Be careful not to squeeze the bark sleeve too hard or it will crack. The bark slips off real easy after tapping it gently with the handle of a pocket knife. When the bark is removed, carve the inner soft wood as shown in the picture (3).

After the wood is carved, wet the carved end of the whistle in your mouth, and
slip the bark sleeve back on (4).

You have just made yourself a Willow Whistle.

More Recently:.....Two years ago we hosted both the Spring City Elementary and the Mt. Pleasant Elementary Schools. Out on the back lawn, we had 95 year old Alice Hafen demonstrating how to make this willow whistle. It was a delight for the children.

Grandma Alice knows so many of the pioneer craft that she was taught by her pioneer grandparents. She is a wonderful resource for both our blog and the Relic Home.
