MARIE CALDER, U. H. S. SENIOR, PASSED TO HER FINAL REWARD
Monday afternoon at just about the time classes at the high school were closing, a sadness was cast over the pupils when it was annnounced that Miss Marie Calder of the Senior class had passed to her final reward.
Although she had not been at school since about Thanksgiving time and had given up the idea of attending school again this year, She had so far improved in health, that her death was entirely unexpected by her chums and school mates.
Miss Calder is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pontha Calder. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Second Ward Chapel which was crowded to the limit with sorrowing friends and school mates. Full particulars will be published next week.

UINTAH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT BODY AND TEACHERS PAY LOVING TRIBUTE TO DEPARTED SENIOR
Profound sorrow was expressed in the Uintah High School and the community when on Monday evening, Feb. 2, it was announced that Marie, the 18 year old daughter of Pontha and Rosella Marie Calder, had passed to her reward.
Although it was known she was ill and had been so since December 14th, when she had a heart collapse, she had so regained her health that she showed great improvement and encouragement. Her ambition was too great for her strength. Up until a few hours of death she was cheerful and planning the things she was going to do. Her greatest joy came to her when she was doing something to make others happy, a fact she faithfully carried out in her home and school life. She was like a beautiful rose just blossoming into young womanhood.
In school she ranked high in all her classes and was exceptionally gifted with her pen. Last year she won the "Immigration Essay" sponsored by the Rev. Father Louis J. Fries. Her artistry was especially shown in her millinery class work and last summer earned her leadership pin for her help in the boys' and girls' club work, giving millinery help throughout the county.
She was secretary of the J. U. G. the girls' organization of the U. H. S. and president of the H. C. S. Club, a social club for girls. She was a member of the Senior class of the Uintah High School and would have graduated had she not been ill. As a true Latter-Day Saint she loved the sincerity and beauty of every soul she knew and purity of thought and heart. At home she was always an exceptionally sweet and obedient daughter. A position she highly honored was the secretaryship of the Vernal First Ward Y. L. M. I. A.
The high school was dismissed on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 5, that students and faculty could attend the funeral services which were held in the Vernal Second Ward Chapel with Charles A. Hardy of the First Ward bishopric in charge of the services. The house was filled to overflowing. The chapel was beautifully decorated and the floral offerings of roses, carnations and sweet peas profuse; the casket being covered and many pieces being banked around it. Mrs. Effie Young of the First Ward Y. L. M. I. A had charge of the flowers which were from kind friends in Salt Lake City, Provo and Vernal.
The active pallbearers were Bishop Hyrum B. Calder, President Wallace Calder, Bishop Bruce Calder of Roosevelt, Leo Calder, O. Mentzer Calder and William Cook. Benediction by Bishop George E. Wilkins of Second Ward.
A large cortege follwed the remains to its last resting place, where interment was made in the Vernal Cemetery with President _________ dedicating the grave.
