Show Tuesday Oct 2025 Ogden high School Notes You will never be sorry for j living a clean life, for doing your level best, for having faith in humanity; for being kind to the un- forunate, for looking before leaping, for hearing before judging, for being candid and frank, for thinking before speaking. NEW REGISTRATION S Six new students registered ! Monday. Naturally these will be ! considerably handicapped by the ! late entrance, but if they are made of the right stuff, they need not be discouraged, for ther'e ?s always a chance to, make good. They say -that "while there's life there's 'hope," and so we may paraphrase by saying, "Where'er there's courage there is a chance for success." THE GLEE CLUB The Fifth Period Glee club has been having one program number, furnished by some member of the class, each day at the beginning of the class period, but the class voted that one day -a week, Friday preferably, be -'Program and Music Appreciation day.". Last Friday was the first of these days, and the following program was given under the direction of the program committee, consisting of Norma Freeman, ! Inez Taylor and Francis Hales: The Triton Chorus Reading, Annie Laurie" Eleanor Newey Clarinet solo, "Angel's Serenade" Blew Wilson Piano solo, "March Winds" . . Gladys Lochtrog 1 ffiet.- dreamer of Dreams Thelma Burt and Francis Shelby I Five-minute talk, "Music Ap- preciation" May Douglas "Hear Our Prayer" and "Abide ! With Me" Chorus -Mary Hinckley. LAWS OF LIFE Life is truly marvelous and in- teresting; it may be made Worth- . while or useless. It all depends , on the individual. Through life everywhere, however, run certain fundamental principles and laws that every one needs to consider carefully. It's so easy for a person Imake a mess of life, by a ! little thoughtlessness indifference or ignorance. No one can sense fully perhaps his responsibility, as each is influencing for good or ill those with : whom he comes in contact. This is especially true of the teacher whose aim, purpose, vocation is that of guiding, instructing, influencing youth. It is indeed a fearful responsibility, which we hope ail - cyphers endeavor to realize. Trf8came across a thought the other day that, deserves more ! than casual consideration--as it is a. prinoipit o- life that one might ignore unless his. attention be called to it. It is" tmlf?4 "Often a seemingly trivial circumstance, a paragraph read, a suggestion made, an inspiring thought gleaned or a mere word spoken has changed the whole trend of one's life or purposes."- i J. C. Gilson. j EXPERIMENT MADE j i The shortage of teachers at the j ' high school this year necessitated j the drafting of students to super- ; vise study hall periods. Sam j Junk, Herbert Verheelc and Eden j Beuhler have each been request- j ed to take care of one study hall j each, and we are glad to report j after three weeks' trial that the ! experiment has been signally sue- j cessful. Credit is due not only to ; the boys who supervise, but also j to the students who have shown : themselves amenable to control of i one of their own group. FRIDAY HOLIDAY j In order that teachers may at- I tend the state teachers' cotiven- j tion this week-end there will be ! no school on Friday. Many stu- j dents feel that the holiday is well ! i deserved as Friday marks the end ! I of . the first six-weeks term, and j ! they have put in some very stren- j j uous work during the term. J I Classes were held the. very first j i day. of school; lessons were as- ! signed, and there has been no J let-UD from the very beginning. Short periods will be held on! Thursday afternoon on two counts, I i (1) To get out a little early fori Lj the .came at Davis, scheduled at j 14 o'clock; (2) to give teachers an! j opportunity to attend the first session of the convention scheduled at Salt Lake Thursday night. Classes will close Thursday at 2:15 o'clock. j j INTERESTING LETTER ! ' j Mrs. Irwin, dean of girls, is in ! j receipt of a very interesting letter I from Miriam Caine, '24, former! I president of the Girls' association, ' i now at San Francisco. Miriam I I is very loyal to her school and to ! Utah, as evidenced in the following excerpts: "It must be customary for 'old grafts' to write baek to alma mater, and praise up the old place so I will, too. But having attend- : ed three high schools in my day, and vj,sited at many more, i'd like to deliver this: 'Ogden High is just about ideal. Everyone is on i speaking terms with everyone j else; the school lias good instructors, and a good library, etc.' "I'm all for Ogden-and I'm going back as soon as I can matke the grade, California is a nice place to come for a visit, but as a home it is negative. And cold! Good heavens-damp and raw! ! I'd rather get nipped a bit by , Utah's cr sp cold,, than shiver, as I do here all the time, indoors or out. ! "I read of the election of spon- i sors with heart burning. How I i ' envy them! I shall always re- i member my sponsor days (and that ( ! blessed old uniform) as the hap- j piest and proudest of my life." 1 !' F. U. N. I Stop! Read, and remember! , Next Wednesday at 3 p. m. the F. U. N. club will hold a meeting m room 202. Election of officers will take place. The main purpose j of the club is to teach swimming i and diving to the girls. Girls! This is your chance to I ; join a good club and to learn to ! swim. Wednesday, 3 p. m.- Marguerite Jongsma. BEING MISUNDERSTOOD j There are very few of us who ; have not. had the delightful exper- ience of being misunderstood. . Those who have will readily agree j with' me that while at times it is ! very disagreeable, yet at other j times._it is very convenient. For instance,, if a young person does something that seems strange or : stupid-wSdch he is most - certain to ' do-he van merely 'say, "Oh, : but you do not understand," and i it will seem perfectly all right. When one arrives at the age of J 17 oi 18 he reaches what is known to some as the misunderstood age. Older people cannot see why he I acts as he does nor why he thinks as he does, for according to their ideas there s no reason whatsoever for these actions and ideas. However, the young people have very definite reasons for being misunderstood. Somehow they get the idea that to be nv mmi r- stood lends an air of sophistica- i i tion, for are not the most so- I phisticated people misunderstoodZ It also distinguishes them from the every-dav sort of young per- .on, for people are generally most ; ; attracted to the person about : whom they know very little. - ! This fad of being misunder- stood is not confined to the young- GOV SMITH SAYS HE WILL RETIRE ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 20.-UP)-! - Governor Smith reiterated today; that he would retire to private life j a t the end of his present term as : cfjief executive of New York state.! j 'A man can't go on indefinitely! in tiiis job," he said. Reminded that he had been quot- ed once as saying that any man i would be a fool who did not ac-! cept the presidential nomination ifj it was tendered him, he said: "That is true. But there is a' er generation alone. , but is also adopted by many young or middle- aged matrons. One frequently hears of the misunderstood wife. Like many other things this fad i becomes worse as one grows older. It is because of this fact that I say, "Please, young people, if you must be misunderstood, be so while you are' young and have it over with so that the rest of us poor, common understood people will not be so lonely in our old age." - j IONE CLARK, j |
