TEACHER RETURNS LeConte Stewart, our popular art teacher, returned to school to- dav. He has been unable to be with us before on account of a j ! sovere attack of la grippe. Mr. Stiwart passed the summer paint- i ng in Arizona, where the ther- ' mometer frequently reached 125-130 decrees. Fahrenheit, and conse­quently Mr. Stewart returns consid­erably reduced physically, but he ' says "as fit as a fiddle and ready to put lots of pep into the art de­partment." His classes were ah organized and set to work today. CLASS OFFICERS The different classes met Tuesday at 11:45 o'clock and elected officers for the year. The follow­ing students were honored: Seniors-Charles Emmett, pres-' : idcnt; Gilbert Beck, vice president; h Jo Irvine, secretary; Dorothy Israelson, George Glen, Jean Warner and Gerald Walwerk, council mem­bers. Juniors - Wendell Bramwell, : president; Dan Taggart, vice pres­ident; Wilma Malan, secretary. Sophomores-Paul Chez, president; Sterling Starr, vice president; Virginia Anderson, secretary. Council members from the Junior and sophomore classes will be selected later. ; U. A. ASSOCIATION The Utah Athletic association board of control is seeking ways and means of handling the foot­ball situation for the present year. Arbitrator Willard Ashton, has re­signed and new members from each i division are being selected to serve on the board which must formu- f late plans within the next few days, j At a meeting of the Ogden divi­sion held Tuesday evening, Frank Muir of Kaysville was re-elected to represent the Ogden division. The representatives of the divi­sion present favored a suggestion that the larger schools in the j northern part of the state, includ­ing Provo, Jordan, Granite, L. D. S., East, West, Murray, Davis, Og­den and Box Elder, be an open field, each team having the priv­ilege of scheduling five division games with teams within the di- j vision, and that they also have the privilege, If they so desire, to have stcond teams which might play games with any B class school. Coach Earl Ferguson of Box El­der, who has lust returned from 1 the University of Illinois school of ' coaching, presented a number of - ideas for the improvement of ath­letics In Utah games. , DISAPPOINTED s The announcement made Tuesday that Ellis Wade would attend r the University of Colorado at Boulder this year created quite a little j stir among the local fans, who feel j that "Red" is an outstanding ath- i lete who should bring honors to 3 Utah rather than Colorado. Local patriotism has stirred these to ac­tion and we understand that con- sidrable effort will be made to get Wade to reconsider his decision and attend a Utah institution. BETTER ASSEMBLIES President James Ure announces that he desires to make the weekly assemblies as interesting, enter­taining and profitable as possible this year. He purposes having at least one outstanding assembly each month, at which some promi­nent speaker or well-known enter­tainer shall be featured. As a starter he believes that he will be able to secure the services of Philip Gordon, one of the world's most I noted pianists, for the special September program. Good idea, James. I Go to it; we're all with you. Sept 17-25 Ogden High School notes "No man is truly happy who i must depend on outside things for! j his happiness."-Elihu Root. Among the things that every school should inculcate in its boys and girls is the above expressed . aphorism. Consciously or uncon- I sciously every true map and wom- j an must come to realize how true i happiness comes from within. "My mind to me a kingdom is," the poet has said, and perhaps a truer state­ment was never uttered, j ART OF LIVING. In this "pleasure' mad' age when young and old are rushing to the movie, the dance hall, the various amusement resorts, to find pleasure and entertainment, it is entirely fortunate that we have good schools , where the young might learn to ap- j preciate the beautiful things in life j that come from a study of art, mu- j 'sic, literature, science, history, lan- j !guage; yes, even mathematics, for j in the mastery of a problem there i is an intellectual enjoyment that i far surpasses the mere sensual, ! temporary enjoyment furnished by j any sort of professionalized enter- j tainmenti One of the real and im- j portant objects of the school is to i stimulate, encourage and so direct j intellectual effort' that permanent j joy and happiness may come to i every student. We are, in other I words, to learn at school the fine art of living. SUMMER READING. It is most interesting these first days of school to hear from stu­dents the sort of books they have read during the summer, the im­pressions they received on their va- ' cation trips, and what they have 1 gained through their intimate con­tact with mountains, seas, forests, I plant and animal life-in a word, with "God's great out-of-doors." One need not go to school to learn. J God's great Book of Nature is ever I before us and the great scholars of ' every age have learned much more i !from God's school than man's j school. Longfellow truthfully ! wrote of Agassiz: "Then Nature, the old nurse, Took Ker child upon ier knee, say­ing: 'Here's a story book Thy Father hath written thee'." So vacation really isn't a vaca­tion after all-it is only a part of school, and lucky is he that has learned much in vacation's great school. CONSTITUTION DAY. This day, September 17, is set apart as Constitution day in Amer­ica, with the thought that all Americans might turn their atten­tion for at least a few moments to that noble instrument upon which our government was founded, and ; under whose glorious principles we are living. Just to get the spirit of the day let us repeat the pream- i ble and consider for a moment to what extent -we hav; come to real- ize and appreciate the ideals which it sets forth. Listen: "We, the people of the United States, in order to (1) form a more perfect Union, (2) establish jus- t tice, (3) insure domestic tranquil­ity, (4) provide for the common de­fense, (5) promote the general welfare, and (6) secure the bless- j ings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do establish this consti­tution for the United States of A'merica." , We are the posterity and it re­mains for us to say to what exterit we have realized and are realizing the ideals of our fathers. AN OPPORTUNITY. Mrs. Batestas, chairwoman of the American legion auxiliary, has s asked that any high school girls i who desire to do a good turn for the disabled veterans phone Mrs. Don H. Woolsey, 2159-R, or Ida Mayer, 3671-R, volunteering their j service for the Forget-Me-Not drive that will be held on Saturday, September 26. Heretofore this , has been "poppy" day, but appro- prkely enough is designated ForGet-Me-Not day this year. , FOUND. Some money was picked up dur- , ing the early part of the week in - the high school. The student who lost it may get the same by calling at the office, REGISTRATION. ! Nine hundred eighty students , were reported as registered yester y day, distributed as follows: Seniors 394, juniors 428, sophomores 158. v j FINE BAND. The band is starting out wonder­fully well. Under the expert di­rection of Mr. Lammers we are confident that we shall have the best high school band in the history of Ogden. THE FORUM. i The O. H. S. Forum club opened Monday, September 14. We had several visitors and cordially invite 1 all high school students interested in debating to attend our meetings. There are five vacancies this year clue to the leaving of graduate seniors. The new members will be selected from the waiting list. The ; next meeting will be held on Mon- j day, September 21, at 7:30 o'clock, in room 304. We shall appreciate having you visit us. FREE PADLOCKS. The high school janitors have a number of padlocks left over from last year which they will gladly give to students. The novelty shops will fit them with keys at a very small cost. i SHOP MOVED. The electrical shop is being moved this week from the auto mechanics building to the carpentry building. This change, seemed ad­visable on account of Mr. Child in­structing in both carpentry and electrical construction and it seemed better to have both depart­ments in one building. SHORT PERIODS. In view of the fact that confine­ment in school is a little strenuous during the first week, the high I school has shortened the periods five minutes each during the pres- ent week. Next week the 50-min- ute class schedule will be followed. I This means that the morning ses- ' sion will close at 12 (noon), and the afternoon at 4 p. m. I oo--- FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT Ogden High School notes The first week of school passes today into history. It has been the most successful opening week we have ever had. We began regular class work Monday, and ! the guy who thinks the first few I . days of school do not count for much, has another guess coming. We registered, you know, last spring and all we had to do this fall was t ore-consider our regis­tration, make slight changes where necessary, and proceed to work- a thing we certainly did do. NOTEWORTHY ASSEMBLY That opening assembly Thurs­day was surely a hummer. The hall was filled to overflowing, as usual, with eager, expectant, re­spectful, attentive students ,and , j everything went off in first class ! style. The two duets by Jean Warner and Maurine Peck, and the violin solo, by Dale Wangsgard were choice and beautifully rendered. The atmosphere was just right for President Jim Ure, Supt. W. Karl Hopkins and Board Member Wade Johnson to get their splendid messages over with force and power. Jim's keynote speech was a hum dinger. He demonstrated that he is "to be a first class leader for he set forth ideals, ambitions, aims of the Og­den High school in a very impres­sive and effective manner. He de­plored the idea of being com­mon-place when we have such fine opportunities of becoming superior. Superintendent Hopkins felici­tated the students on the con­quests and successes of the past, on the splendid opening this year, find of the propitious conditions before us. He made some perti­nent comments on our excellent teaching corps, and made a strong appeal to the students to live up to their ideals. iviemDer wade jonnson recount- j ed interestingly the story of his O. H. S. and Princeton days and admonished the students to do the ; best work possible, to avoid the regrets that will surely come if they fail in any measure now. Altogether it was a notable as­sembly and will doubtlessly bear rich fruitage in the work of the coming year.

APPRECIATED As is known to our readers, we got somewhat mixed up in our "Notes" the other day between our "smiles" and our "similes." We are rather grateful for this error as it brought from the proof­reader a very much appreciated letter. We have pleasure in quot­ing if he (the proofreader) will let it go by: "If my eye failed to note the omission of an 'i' in simile the failure at least brought a smile, and smiles are the similes of hap­piness, if you. please. "However, the object of this is 1 to tell you how I enjoy reading your cheerful column each day. I consider it one of our bright­est, peppiest local news items. . . .
