glee club. The fourth and fifth period mixed chorus started their school calendars off with a report that sounded throughout the moun­tains. This i3 going to be the best year yet. "Listen my children and you shall hear, Of the midnight revels of the musical sphere." 'Twas last Thursday night. Everything was ideal-the weath­er. the eats, the campfire, the hikers, the chaperons, the time. ' After hiking up to Cold Water canyon with Mr. Gammell as head chaperon, and Miss Beck and E. S. Smith as official assistant chap­eron?, we immediately devoured our lunch. j The program started off with; an Indian war dance around a j great tepee fire. Some of the! oldest and most loved songs as j well as some of the newest were j sung. ! We have a preponderance of J talent; so, if anything is needed j in the musical line, just call on j the Glee club and it will be fur- j nished. -Mabel Reynolds, Reporter. j GAMMA KAPPA. Did we have the good time we j expected? I'll say we did, and a! little better! Roost parties are always fun, but a Gamma Kappa 'oost party is the best ever. We ; met at the Orpheum at 7:30, saw the show and Pantages (that is, as much as we were able) with jelly beans flying every which way and then went to Klea Passey's home for a watermelon bust-such lovely, luscious melons. The mem­bers who were unable to attend surely lost out on a good time, but this is only the first social event of the year, so keep up your spirits and more will follow. -Ruth Craven. FORUM. Congratulations, Cicero, your r Forum is still doing its stuff. De­bating, arguing, oratory-all com­bined in high school's greatest as­set-the Forum. Monday night's meeting was surely in old Roman ; style, free discussion, free chance to express opinions, opportunity for growth mentally, oratorically and debatingly. After preliminary business had been discussed, David Camp and Garff Wilson versus Hal Armstrong and Jack Craven, debated concerning the coming city elections. It looks as though Mayor Kirkendall will be re-elect­ed. The debates every ' Monday are of local or national interest, and keep one up-to-the-minute on all the current topics. So if ever you feel drowsy and need a little pep and mental exercise, just drop into the Forum, -Garff Wilson. MAY LEAVE. It is not unlikely that Mr. Ly­man Rich, one of our new in­structors, who has made a splen- i did beginning in his work at the j high school, may leave his posi-1 tion shortly to accept a very re­munerative position in Wasatch county tendered him by the Agri­cultural college. The school board is very re­luctant to release Mr. Rich, but is unwilling to bar such a pro­motion as this appears to be. EGGS AND STELLAE. Anybody who happened to be around either Mary Rich, Louise Eccles, or Beth Winkler, Tuesday, were very much surprised to find each girl carrying an egg, painted i with stars and S's. If anyone happened to cough, these products of the poultry yard were brought forth and exhibited with the sur­prising remark of "See the pretty egg." When it was found that i this was the second degree of j initiation into the Stellae club, I many of the students developed I acute consumption for the benefit j of those being initiated. At the, ! close of the day when the eggs were returned, the girls declared they had had enough initiation for a while. Be good sports, girls, the school is having a lot of fun over it. Oct 1-25 Ogden High School Notes A Prayer for To-day Father of all; in every age In every clime adored-- ; By saint, by salvage and by sage: I Jehovah, Jove or Lord. Thou great First Cause, least un­derstood, Who all my sense confined To know but this: Jhat Thou art good And that myself am blind. EDGAR GUEST j The . poetry of Edgar Guest ap- i peals to all because we are all j human. We are marked by our -sentiment, our feelings, our emo- j tiois. We love and are loved. We admire, we trust, we revere, we vrrship. It is to this tender side of our nature that Edgar Guest's I poetry appeals. Back of the po­etry of course, stands the man and those who have admired hi.-j homely vere, will be greatly inter­ested in the story of his life! -which he gives in the October j I number of the American maga- I zinc. His life, as we had perhapsi I suspected, is itself a poem-full of I ! love, confidence, trust and rever­ence. It is the sublime faith of the man that shines through all his verses. RELIGION IN SCHOOLS We recommend to all teachers, parents and students, if they will read an article entitled "Can Re­ligion Be Taught?" in the Octo­ber Atlantic. The article is by Charles M. Sheldon and is whole­some and sound. Mr. Sheldon closss the article with this sum­mary: "If religion is theology, and doctrine, and creeds made over disputed definitions of God and theories of man's Tlestiny, it cannot be taught in our schools. "But if religion is love to God and man, it can be taught any­where and it ought to be taught in our schools. If it is not taught, our whole educational pyramid will continue to wabble on its pinnacle, instead of resting firmly on its base." , UNFORTUNATE ATTITUDE In the directing of students into courses of instruction, teachers sometimes discovef a most unfor­tunate attitude of mind. This at­titude is that teachers and students are not friends, but natural ene­mies; that when a teacher ad­vises this course or that it is on account of some Whim, or prejudice, and that she's trying to "slip one over." The contrary thing, of course, is nearer the truth. The teacher by virtue of her experience j and age knows or should know what will be best, not for the teacher, but for the student and advises accordingly. What the stuaent's natural ap­titudes, training, ambitions, . etc., are should of course be taken into account. For one part we think the best advice comes from a teacher who can assume at least the attitude of "loco parentis" and advise as if the student were her own child. ASSEMBLIES POPULAR It appears that assemblies are to be very popular this year and that 9 9 per cent of the students expect to attena them and do their i part to make them worthwhile. An assembly, extraordinary is , booked for this afternoon. The I famous pianist, Phillip Gordon, was to furnish several musical numbers, among them "Perpetual Motion." EXCURSION RATE The Bamberger comes to our rescueagain and offers a one dol­lar round trip ticket to Salt Lake on Saturday, providing 50 or more secure tickets. A RECIPE To a dab ofvgray matter add a pinch of genius, a hunk of horse sense, a heaping measure of re- j sponsibility, oceans of purposeful work, Add an honest-to-goodness edu­cational chef, who blends with al- ! ch'mic sympathy, and you have1! the worthy citizen pupil of your I dream. GET ACQUAINTED The O. H. S. seniors are giving a little get-acquainted dancing j party at the Mitchell hall tomor- j row (Friday) evening. There are j about 400 seniors in school, and it i is hoped that all will be present and get acquainted. A RALLY Tomorrow morning early a pep rally will be held to get in readi­ness- for the first big game on Sat- ' urday. Some prominent townspeo- ; pie will be present to inject a little ; ginger into the student body. q i The game will be called at 2:30 l.p. nrt. sharp on Saturday at the .West Side school campus at Salt j iLake. I .o F. U. N. SWIMMING e We are still existing and have ssen having a jolly good time all temmer. Through thfc courtesy of esident Phyllis Shaw, Vice Pres­ent Dorothy Coop and Secretary Margaret Wilson, the F. U. N. club enjoyed their vacation. The main events of the sum­mer were as follows: During the month of July ' the club made a trip to Como. About seventeen girls accompanied by their boy friehds and mothers as chaperons, left Ogden in cars. A good swim v?as followed by an appetizing lunch, which was heartily enjoyed by all present. Again in July a group of girls enjoyed a delightful swim and dance at Lagoon. Meetings were also held in the different homes of the members where'business followed by games and lunch occupied the evening. W also spent many of the hot summer evenings in the cool wat­ers of the Weber gym. j A meeting will be held Thursday at three o'clock and new officers I elected. j Miss Mabel Reynolds was elected secretary of the girls' chemistry class Wednesday. V TO COMPLETE COURSE y- Principal Wiggins of the night school department is arranging to give courses for the benefit of j those who have been obliged to! discontinue school before securing j a diploma. In addition to that of­fered heretofore the classes in junior English and senior English will be offered this year if there is j sufficient demand. A PRACTICAL JOKE In the following incident two truths are told as happy prologs to the swelling act of the school­teacher's theme: (1) A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men, and (2) It takes time for. new teachers to gat acquainted. A. slip was placed in a new teach­er's box on Wednesday last, say­ing: "Ernest Wangsgard has reg­istered in your class first and sec­ond periods. If he does not report kindly advise me."-ADVISER. Tt happens that Ernest Wangs­gard is a regular teacher of the school, but unknown to the new I instructor. The "adviser" and oth- . j er teachers had a hearty laugh Wednesday when the following note was received: "Ernest Wangs­gard has not shown up yet. T do not know this chap at all." (.Signed) D. V. C., Instructor. oct - Ogden High School Notes INSTRUCTION AND PROMISE Fear less, hope more; eat F chew more; whine less, breathe p more; hate less, love more; and! oppre good things are yours. "shal Jpress Mrs. James W. Ure and Mrs. these E. Higginbotham were visitors parei high school Thursday. They ca Pron especially to hear Mr. Gordon ; were delighted with his renditio! vv Jvelo I with RARE ASSEMBLY. The assembly Thursday was' E, unusual merit. Rarely have hi school students the opportunity? mar hearing such an artist as Phi high Gordon. His visit was very muj haV( appreciated. He played for us: S casi lection from Rigoletto, 'A Counting Dance," Beethoven; "Orienteli "Christmas," Noel; "Perpetual Mo­tion," Von Webber. Through the courtesy of Glen Brothers-Roberts Music company a grand Chickering piano was furnished for the oc­casion. PEP RALLY. An interesting pep rally was staged this morning at 8:30 o'clock. Al Warden gave a. characteristical­ly peppy talk and a story of ath­letics and athletes of the Ogden High school. Coach Kapple made an earnest plea for student body support and ; loyalty to the team. A number of new yells were j tried out. When Philip Gordon said Thursday that he would play "phrase by phrase," a bright student re­marked: "I'll bet it'll be parti­ciples"; which shows how interest­ed students are in their English grammar work. SCRAPS ON FLOOR. The following "scraps of paper" were picked up Thursday: j "Born 1907; died 1915; bleached 1919; hennaed 1923. What next ; Florence ?" j "Do you know Price Is going to be our best man soon ?" "Oh-o-o-o! This is so sudden.'' "Our janitor, we pity him, As a.lll good people must; For every evening when we go He must wallow in our dust." DEPENDABILITY. This is but the third week of school. Ninety to 95 per cent of the students have already demon­strated that they are reliable, de­pendable and earnest. The office force and teachers are taking up an earnest labor with the sub­merged tenth (or twentieth) en­deavoring to instill into their young minds the necessity and value of being squarely on the job and do­ing the things they ought to do. Isn't it too bad that we cannot all be hundred percenters? FOR EXCURSION. j! Only 25 people signified their in- j. tention Thursday of taking ad- vantage of the dollar excursion rate ; to Salt Lake Saturday. As 50 at j least must go in order to secure ! the rate, there will be no excursion I unless others decide today that, j they wisth to gt and see the big 1 game. _ i STUDENT RATES. Students possessing student body j books will show them at the game j Saturday and receive a reduction of! 2.5c admission to the game. The regular admission is 50c, or student1 ticket and 25c. Have gateman tear numiber out of the book. CONCERT PLANNED. The music department is seri­ously considering the proposition of bringing the famous Welsh singers to Ogden for an entertain­ment next month. There are about 20 male singers in this fine aggre­gation and music students feel that they should do their part in bringing choice musical treats to Ogden. PROHIBITION. We are not talking now about - drink. We are talking a bout any- j thing that is prohibited. The American spirit seems to resent the J "Thou sha-lt -not" -attitude. Ap-; proach an adolescent with "you j must not" and in his heart and j quite likely, too, with his lips, he ' will sayL "Well, 1 Strang I does not our Declaration of Inde­pendence say "We are born with jcertain inalienable rights and j among these are life, liberty and a the pursuit'of happiness." We hate i oppression and the "must not" or "shall not" attitude suggests op­pression. We presume it is for J these reasons that the teachers and s parents who succeed best-do little 13 prohibiting but use much tact, and s discretion in the directing of youth. lCj We aim at the high school to de- j velop a democraticspirit, and atom; ' with it highest democratic idea la and practices, j. Experience has shown that stu- dents in high school can conduct .' j many of their own affairs in a highly intelligent manner, and they Thave certainly shown on many or- 1 casions that they are worthy of be- "jing trusted.
