Show Following the program, election of officers for the Girls' association will be held for the year 1925-26. Only girls who will be graduating seniors next year are elegible for the presidency, but any girl who has been in high school one year may be vice president or secretary. Be ready, girls, with your nominees. BOYS' PROGRAM The O. H. S. boys wiir give a special program tomorrow (Friday) morning at 9:30 o'clock. Public is invited. SMART REMARKS Enough humor is evolved in each day's work at the high bchool to make a joke book, if only it were gathered and published. Here is a sample or two l'rom Wednesday: "I want to enter my protest against your publishing facts about your daily high school work under the title, "Into the "Sport Dope."-Superintendent Hopkins. A student reported in history class: "The Ogden City health record of every birth in Ogden; Whenever a child is born the original is sent to Salt Lake and a duplicate is kept here.' ' Jack Armstrong, the engineer to Principal Merrill: "In my country (England) they shoot better men than you every day." A girl was asked why she was wearing a Boys' week button. "Why because," said she, "every week is boys' week with me." "This certainly is getting monotonous. I've only had three proposals this spring."-Grace Atkinson. "It surely is a funny thing how the hand of fate guided me into the office yesterday morning." " 'Tis the necktie makes the man."-Maude Milne. GREATEST PARADE The boys' parade tomorrow afternoon will surpass any former event, according to reports from various schools. As regards the high- school we are confident the R. O. T. C. unit will be up to the standard, while we are confident the non-R. O. T. C. group (about 100 boys), under the direction of Captain Paul McCune, will make a better showing than ever before. A near 100 per cent attendance is expected. GIRLS' TEA The following committees have been appointed on the "tea-less Tea" to be given by the senior girls, May 9: General committee - Emily Lynch, Margaret Bell, Marian Wallace, Emma Buehler, Hazel Hyland, Blanche Nelson and Louise Richardson. Time and place committee- Margaret Bell, chairman; Virginia Brown and Erica Berne. Decorations and reception- Marjorie Allen, chairman; Hazel Hyland, Kathryn Wallace, Vinette Lee, Beatrice Bletcher, Martha Wright and Freida Kraines. Refreshments-Louise Richardson, chairman; Emily Lynch, Margaret Scowcroft, Helen Kern, Melva Schade, Lavon Reese, Ruth Stratford, Helen Merrill, Thelma Jones, Olive Reynolds and Marian Renowitz. Advertising and tickets-Marian Wallace, chairman; Geneva Byrne, Evelyn Palmer, Connie Shaw and Virginia Malan. Program and entertainment- Mary Louise Hanks, chairman; Florence Morris, Emma Buehler, Ruth Merrill, Ruth Skeen, Helen Storey and Fern Fuller. PROF. BABCOCK TO READ On Tuesday evening, next, Prof. Maud May Babcock of the University of Utah will read John Drinkwater's great drama, "Abraham Lincoln," at Central Junior High. Tickets may be had "(a limited number) at the high school or board of education. WONDERFUL BOOKLET We doubt very much whether any railroad company ever put out such beautiful booklets as has the Union Pacific recently under the title, "Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon." Through the courtesy of General Agent W. H. Chevers the high school library was complimented Wednesday with two of These booklets. Mr. Stewart of the art department and other teachfers who have seen them pronounce them as being the most artistic and beautiful representation of Nature's wonders that they have ever seen, not excepting the magnificent color reproductions that have frequently appeared in National Geographic magazine, Ladies Home Journal, etc. The booklets are of 50 large pages each, containing about as many pictures in color and photograph with full descriptions of the mar- - velous scenes, tables of distances, maps, explanations of how to reach the park and canyon, etc. These were printed and sent east for advertising purposes and must result in a tremendous influx oL tourists to this great natural won-', derland. No other country on earth c&n offer such magnificent scenes as this. The American who sees this booklet will say: "Before I go to heaven I must see that wonderful park and canyon in Utah." May 1-25 Ogden High School Notes Boys' parade day in Ogden today-six thousand Ogden boys will help all citizens feel their obligations to th,e citizens of tomorrow. OGDEN WINS TROPHY. In the second Lewis annual oratorical contest, Ogden's team, Garff Wilson and Lawrence Van Dyke, won the beautiful silver trophy cup again. Garff also was given first place by all three judges and will receive therefore the gold watch. His subject was "Peace," and was a masterful piece of work-an outstanding I speech, recognized as such, not ! only by J;he judges but also Dy the entire audience. Second place was given Miss Wilma Valentine of Brigham City. Her subject was, "The Constitution." Miss Valentine gets a gold pin. Lawrence Van Dyke lost second place by one point only, evidencing also that his address, "The Great Social Problem," was of a very high order. The Davis contestants used Samuel Gompers and Brigham Young as subjects for their ad- j. dresses. The other Box Elder speaker spoke upon the subject, "One Life to Live." The contest throughout was intensely interesting-and a credit to all schools concerned. The entire student body of Box Elder listened with rapt attention to all addresses. CHEMICAL AWARDS. A letter received Thursday from the American Chemical society corroborates the winning of the two 20 prizes awarded to Lloyd Bowen and Thelma Jones as heretofore announced, as well as the Utah university scholarships and the right to enter the national contest for the four-year college scholarships in any university. The letter suggests that the awards be made at a public assembly. SMOKELESS SMOKER. The officers of the senior class announce a "smokeless smoker" (an athletic bout) to be held rn the evening of Wednesday, May 13, at high school for the purpose of raising funds to leave a class memorial with the school. BOYS' PROGRAM.

All girls of the graduating class who are taking sewing, with two exceptions only, are making their own graduating dresses this year and are taking a great pleasure in doing it. The girls will be in strict accord with the sprirg styles and will present an array of brightness and color in their graduating gowns. HEALTH AND DIET. The domestic science classfs have been giving a vast amount of attention to the important sub- jeers of health and diet this year and just now are making some attractive posters" to exemplify their studies in this line. BEING EXAMINED. Through the courtesies of ?ev- jral city physicians a number of j .he boys are receiving physical j examinations preparatory to entering the citizens' military train- , ing camp this sumbmer. WOMEN'S SESSION. The women members of the faculty and the wives of the male teachers will hold open house at the home of Mrs. David Wangsgard tomorrow (Saturday) evening. It is rumored that the vomen-aside from partaking of efreshments will play something -maybe carda. RADIOTORIAL. At the invitation of Edgar Calder, the regular weekly meeting of the Ham And club was held at the Calder residence on Twenty-fourth street. A "radio hike" was planned for this week-end. Two transmit- ters and two receivers will be taken into the hiils and code practice indulged in by the real "Hams" of the club. Various other features of interest to the radio fan will be on the program of events. After a very spirited contest the following boys emerged vic- I torious in th semi-annual elec- ! j tion for new officers: President, Wayne Iverson; vice , president, Jack Craven; secretary- treasurer, John Griffin; reporter, ' Scott Kellog. ' All of the officers congratulated the club for their good judgment, i Following the formal business meeting informal chat was in- ; dulged in while Mrs. Calder served I delicious ice and cake followed by i soda pop. In the ice cream and ! cake contest Mr. Smith had no ; competition, winning the honors ! with comparative ease. We are 1 grateful to the Calders for the very pleasant evening. BEING CHIEF. j My first and lasting impression ' was, "stay out of jail." I received two other impressions. First, there is more crime committed in a small town like Ogden than I thought there was. Second, the police force of Ogden is much more competent than people give them credit for. I prize very highly the opportunity I had in meeting so many wonderful men. After I met Chief Allison, he explained to me the I duties of the chief and the or- ganization of the force. Another i ' important introduction was to ! ' Captain Burk, chief of detectives. j Mr. Wilson, the desk sergeant, j I treated me very kindly and made ! j me feel at home. Mr. Wootton, ; I the identification officer, gave j Commissioner Cozzens and me an I j hour of real entertainment. He j explained the finger-print system and how records of prisoners are kept. I attended court during the greater part of the day and was much interested in the trials. It was a privilege to hold this position for the day. I am very grateful to those who gave me the privilege. -Landy Norris. NEW PICTURE. Vice Principal Gertrude Coolidge and artist Leconte Stewart visited the Springville art exhibit on Sunday last with a view of selecting a picture for the Ogden High school. With the assistance of Judge and Mrs. W. H. Reeder and Dr. and Mrs. L. S. Merrill they selected several out of which a Choice is to be made. Miss Evelyn Palmer, one of our advanced art students, also attended the exhibits on Tuesday. All expressed themselves as pleased with the wonderful exhibit Springville has put on. ORDERING CARDS. Senior students are ordering graduation cards from the Ogden book stores this week. All who wish cards must place orders at once. NECKTIES. There is a well known expression, "Clothes Make the Man." In this day when the fashion in men's clothes forbids the silks and laces seen years ago, when the colors chosen for suits are gray, or broln, or black, and often navy blue, would it not be wiser to alter this declaration to "Neckties Make the Man?" For in the necktie exists the only spot of color on the suit, except in those rare cases where a flower or a bright handkerichief is worn. "By his necktie shall ye know him." Is not that a lovely sentiment, expressing exactly our thoughts concerning neckties? Have you ever considered the time spent by a man tying his necktie? It is a painful process, I assure you. You may not believe it, but a necktie possesses uncanny powers. It is able to writhe and move just where you do not want it to writhe and move; it possesses the power to untie itself at some crucial moment; the knot realizes the moment when it should not slip- and slips. When the necktie is at last' beautifully tied, the owner is overwhelmed with a soft glow that comes only after such delightful moments. As you see approaching you down the street, a brazen red tie, does your heart not skip a beat? It seems to add color, even life, to the otherwise drab suit. There are long, flowing ties, as well as dainty. little bow ties; there are knit ties, silk ties, cotton ties-oh, every imaginable kind of tie, and tile personality of the wearer speaks to you from every one. Yes, literally today "the necktie makes the man." , -Maude M. Milne. May 4-25 Ogden High School Notes Many students expect to hear "Utah's Greatest Reader," Maude May Babcock, read John Drinkwater's great drama, "Abraham Lincoln," at Central Junior tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. It's passing strange, when one comes to think of it, that it remained for an Englishman, John Drinkwater, to give us our greatest picture of our beloved emancipator. M'KAY CAN'T COME A letter from Hon. D. O. McKay expressed his sincere regret that he will be unable to deliver the baccalaureate address to the graduates on account of a previous engagement. The class was to meet this afternoon to select another speaker. TRACK MEET FRIDAY The Ogden division of the U. A.
