Show Jan 30 25 Ogden High School Notes Those who enjoy good sport should be at the high school to- ! night to witness the Ogden. vs. U. of U. Freshmen game. It Is j not expected usually that high school teams can compete with college teams, yet East, West and Ogden are, far in the lead in the contests thus far. We believe we shall beat the' university tonight. One hundred forty students have registered for English I, a course in grammar, and still others are clamoring to get in. What's the world coming to? MISUNDERSTANDING ' Some few students fail to understand that physical education is, a requirement both of junior high school and of senior high school. The junior high requires physical education for three years, i. e., during the entire course ,and senior high, two years. ; At the senior high the require- 1 ment is for work daily during the two years. The work done m junior highs is counted at senior high, but not as senior high credit, i unless it is done in senior class, i. e., tenth, eleventh, twelfth ; years. The temporary arrange- ment of having some tenth grade j classes held in junior high of j course provides for. full senior high credit for all work done. We hope this explanation will make it clear to everyone so that no further misunderstanding may exist. THE DOUBLE PERIOD There has been a tendency on the part of some students to shun the double period class. It is only fair to say, however, that this i applies only to such students as are unwilling to pay the price in time and work for the credit received. A high school unit of credit requires two hours of work every school day throughout the year. If one hour is spent in recitation the other hour is required in study. In case of the double period the study and recitation come together; that is the only difference, except that the study or laboratory work in the latter case is under the direction and supervision of the teacher and should therefore be more effective than the separate periods, when one may not get any competent assistance for one of them. UNDER DIFFICULTIES The music department is work- I ing under serious handicap in ! putting on an opera. The boys' chorus meets during fourth period, the girls during the fifth period, and it is necessary, of course, tjiat they rehearse together. For this rehearsal no period is available and it seems all but impossible except the late afternoon or evening-and work and distance are two obstacles that mitigate against such meetings. The pupils are anxious, however, to put on the opera, and they manifest the right spirit in saying, "We'll find a way or make it." OUT OF THE AIR By Listener In. "Miracles shall never cease," said a high school student when he tuned in Wednesday night. He could hear them all over the house on the loud speaker without the use of his aerial. However, when the announcer gave the station he found to his surprise that it was Peery-Redfield's new station, KFUR, broadcasting from the Ogden theatre building. This was also a pleasant surprise to many other listeners. KFUR is Ogden's first real broadcasting station with Browning's running a close second. The coming of these two stations will arouse a great deal of enthusiasm in the people of Ogden who are not as yet "radio fans." It will also enable the members of this club to plunge still deeper into the mysteries of radio. THE HAMAND CLUB. THE CADET HOP The annual cadet hop, the gala event of the year, will be given by the corps of cadets on the evening of February 20 at the Berthana. The affair, which is always looked forward to, is the social event of the season. A crack company, consisting en- j tirely of non-commissioned offi- ! cers, under the instructions of t Sergeant Holloway, will provide the military entertainment in the way of a special drill. The drill will be conducted to the music of the R. O. T. C. band under the supervision of Mr. Gammell. A special invitation will be extended to parents of the cadets and it is hoped that all will avail themselves of the opportunity to see the pride of Ogden perform. The following cadet officers are in charge of affairs: Entertainment committee-Major Clyde Stone, Captain Landy Norris, Lieutenant Lawrence Van Dyke. Decorative committee-Lieutenant Herbert Verheek, Lieutenant Rodney Drollinger, Lieutenant Franklyn Richards. Invitation committee-Blanche Nelson, Connie Shaw, Lavon Rheese, Virginia Malan, Martha Wright, Virginia Brown, Mary Hanks, ,Vinette Lee. EDUCATION FOR PEACE Dr. David Starr Jordan, president emeritus of Leland Stanford Junior university, recently won the Raphael Herman prize of 25,000 I for the best plan for securing world peace. Dr. Jordan would secure peace through mutual understanding, brought about through educational means. He would have peace taught in the schools of all nations, correspondence between the youth of different nations, contests in the discussion of common problems as well as athletics, exchange of teachers and pupils, and bind together the educational, scientific, j religious, social and other groups that are concerned with the welfare of all mankind rather than any fragment of it. Dr. Jordan's plan certainly looks feasible. The subject is the most important one in the world today. Narrow patriotism must give way to world patriotism. The contribution of this age to the world today should be the establishment of such amicable! relations amongst all peoples as I to make future wars impossible. SOMETHING TO AIM AT A farmer tells an interesting story of how he learned a very valuable lesson from a hen. He found it necessary to ' keep his chickens inside a yard with a seven-foot wire net fence about ! it. This fence served its purpose very well except that one sly old hen got out every day.' The farmer couldn't find any place where the hen could crawl under the fence, and he did not believe she could crawl through it nor fly over it. Finally, in desperation, he decided to discoverhow that hen got out, if it took j all day; so he found a comfortable seat and waited. As he sat there ne observed that the two posts which held the narrow gate were held apart and firm by a two- by-four at the top. At about the same time the hen came out of the coop into, the open and took a survey of the situation. Then, with skill born of experience, she' sidled this way a bit, then that, advanced a little and then retreated until she found the exact location she sought, poised herself for a moment then went sailing- over the two-by-four that joined the posts. This had served as her j target-she learned to shoot, .straight over it. The farmer re- j' .placed the two-by-four with aj! bit oi wire netting, and the hen 'j (never got out again. She had nothing to aim at. Isn't that one reason why many j of us are hemmed in, fenced in, 1 limited to our narrow sordid world' I -we have nothing to aim at, no I definite target." and after a while I give up trying? . whrfj 2-2-25 Ogden High School Notes Thirty to 29 is not a score to brag about, but it spells victory and defeat just the same as 30 to 9 might have done. The University Freshies gave us some mighty keen competition. On Friday night of this week we will meet the A. C. Freshies. They beat us at Logan, but we have no idea that they will do it again. ENVIABLE RECORD. The famous Notre Dame college at South Bend, Ind., has played 152 football games in the last eighteen years, and has been victorious in 145 of them." Some record, isn't it? I wonder if it doesn't get monotonous to be so perpetually victorious. REPARTEE. "Ah, Mary," says Sandy, "you are just as beautiful as ever, and I have never forgotten you." "And, Sandy, you are just as big a liar as ever and I believe you just the same." "Shakespeare, the Man," is the title of an address that will be ; broadcasted from station KFPT, Salt Lake, at 9 o'clock. Professor B. Rowland Lewis, head of the English department of the university, will be the speaker. NEW BUILDINGS. The board has announced a new i addition to thN Lewis Junior High school, to be built this summer. Patrons of the north part of town are asking that they be given 1 a new building, while patrons of I the east bench are citing the fact j i that there is no accessible high school, junior, or senior, to which their children might go. A request has also gone to the : board that a building be construct- ed on the senior high campus to take care of work in mechanic arts and electrical construction, as it is pointed out that Ogden must provide facilities for vocational and industrial work. While all these requests are coming in there is another large group of citizens asking, yea, demanding, that taxes be lowered. We won-; der if the board will be able to satisfy everybody. WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY. It is announced that Weber college people contemplate the purchase of the Dr. E. I. Rich property south of the college on Jefferson avenue to give opportunity for future growth and development. It is as splendid plan, as tiie college will surely need it and the ground will never be cheaper. In our opinion it would be a splendid thing also to buy the property west of the Weber gymnasium, on Twenty-fifth street, including that splendid new building, Central Junior High. This would give them a wonderful college building and sufficient ground for the future growth of the institution. PSYCHOLOGY LECTURE. High school students are given a special rate to attend Dr. Goshen's -JL series of psychology lectures, which - begin in the Congregational church at 7.30 o'clock tonight. Dr. Goshen ; is a trained, experienced psychologist and an eminent speaker. Those j who hear these lectures will get many times their money's worth. WILSON'S FINE WORDS. President Woodrow Wilson once said: "I have come to feel that the finest word in the language is loyalty and the finest guide in life is courage. We must get our deepest satisfaction and all our strength ; out of loyalty and courage. Those two things must make life gallant and true for us, whatever happens. , To lose heart or loyalty for a moment is to prove recreant and become unhappy." WHO WROTE IT? Many people are asking who wrote the essay on poetry in last Wednesday's notes. We said then that it was written by a high school student. It has received so many favorable comments that we feel at liberty to say that it was written by Arland Hansink. j THE HAM-AND CLUB. On Thursday night of last week we held our regular weekly business meeting. During the program which followed Mr. Smith gave us a very interesting talk on "The Operation of the Vacuum Tube." A discussion followed and each member was given an opportunity I to ask question about something I he did not understand. During the discussion the question was asked: I "When are we going to get a receiving set for the school?" We were unable to answer this question because of our financial condition, but we hope that the faculty will back us up a little and we are sure of having a set in operation within the next few weeks. JACK CRAVEN, Secretary. THE RIFLE TEAM. The Ogden High School Rifle teams of the past three years have enjoyed an unusual reputation. The work of the members has been consistently excellent throughout these years and has received little setback. The Hearst trophy, the award which receives, locally, the most recognition, slipped from our permanent possession last year by a hair's breadth, the winning scores a mere matter of thin white linea on a black bull's eye. The Ninth corps area, Hearst trophy and National, are the three big shoots entered each year by the team. Practice five days a week, weather permitting, from September till May, puts the boys' in fine shape for the above three matches, the first in February, the second in March and the third in May. Sergeant Halloway, coach of the team for the four years, is again back of the firing line. Being himself an expert rifleman, Sergeant Ed as he is known, has the unusual knack of putting his experience to work through his boys. The results speak for themselves. Halloway ranks among school rifle coaches, as far as distinctive team placing goes, as Knute Rockne in football. Few except those in the school itself appreciate his years of service to the R. O. T. C. Captain Dockler, the new P. M. S. & T., is assisting as coach and witness, and will endeavor to prove that cavalry methods excel infantry. THIS YEAR'S TEAM. This year's team consists of the following old members: Stanley Hall, two years' experience as team mascot and who has an incurable mania for swallowing ammunition; Lawrence Skeen, two years' experience; Herbert Verheek, one year; Kenneth Skeen, one year; Scott Kellogg, one year. The following are new members: George Clifton, Albert Droesbeke, Dayrl Smith, Morris Allen, Francis Hales, William Galbraith, Lewis Laughran, Byron Crittenden, Lewis Terry. The team averages this year are better than ever before. Entrants for the Hearst "shoot in March will soon be forwarded to Chicago. This team is composed of the seven best shots in the school. The five scores having the highest averages are counted for tne offtcial record. The Ninth corps area and National teams are composed of fourteen men with the ten highest scores to jcount. 2 3 25 Ogden High School Notes A reception in honor of the patrons of the high school will be held in the school auditorium on Saturday evening, February 7, at ' 8 o'clock. Invitations are being J carried out today by students. i During the advisory period this morning the little things that make j or break the school were discussed |
