4. CAVES YIELD EXCITING FINDS TO GEOLOGIST Geology Student Tells of Exploration Trip To Lakeside OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. I think exploring caves in the in¬terest of geology the most fascinat¬ing thing one can do. In the dark mysterious bowels of the earth the secrets of early mankind await the exploratitons of the ever-searching geologist. Last week-end another geology student and I decided to do our bit in exploration. Our trip took us to Lakeside, where many geological finds of an aquatic nature are located. Our explorations resulted in the collection of fossilized corals and plants imbedded in rock. These finds were interesting but not im-portant. The most important thing was discovered while we were ex¬ploring one of the many sea caverns there. In the semi-darkness was the foot-mark of a human being was imprinted in rock. This discovery was exciting, and led us to further excavation, which resulted in our finding materials and implements we supposed were left there by an ancient people. So interesting were these and other finds that I am resolved that all natives of this state should know of them and become more eager to find out about the history of this great basin in which they live. This old lake-bed, which is one of the major interests of geologists all over the world, should become more familiar to the people who live in it.—Harold Barnett. SPORTS WRITER The Notes wish to make known the appointment of Frantzen Todd as the sports writer of our column. As a thorough knowledge of all types of athletics is necessary in good sports writing, we deemed it important that one who has all these requirements should be chosen. Frantzen will write on all athletic games, and the school will at all times be fully informed on such matters.—Editors. AN ILLITERATE'S DIARY Nov. 5.—My family is always getin' me in truble. They sed i shood be nice to peeple older than me. So i tryd, startin' with my engliss teecher. And the first thing i new some wise guy sed i was polishin' apples. Oh, well, when another fello treats a teecher especialy well, he's | polishin' apples; but when you do the same thing, you'r just usin' tact. I think "tubs" is in love. Today i was comin* thru the hall, an' i found him lookin* sorta down-hearted. So i sez, "Wats up, 'tubs'?" and he sez "i'm wraped up in my own thots," and' i sez "well, dont catch cold," walkin' away quick like so's he woodn't have time for a come-back, 'cause life is to short for me to stop and listen to such a limited voca¬bulary at work (i got the big words _from the radio.) (Will the author of "An Illiterate's Diary" please make his name known to the editors? It is necessary that we know who are the writers of this column. Names of those individuals writing articles "nom de plume" will never be published.) WORD TO PARENTS Dear Parents: I paused at the door of a Business English class and heard this remark, "You ask your parents and see if they don't ap¬prove of it." I walked into the music room and heard: "Have your parents listen in tonight and tell you what they think of our pro¬gram." Parents, did you receive these messages? Do you really know what your child is doing at Ogden High school? In my mind's eye I can see the parents peacefully going about their work, believing that everything is serene and lovely. Possibly some of you parents do not even know what kind of subjects your child is taking. Can you sign a report card and feel sure that it is the best work your son or daughter can do? If you are not satisfied with the marks he receives, do you talk it over with the teachers? You ask your child why he has the low marks and he replies, "The teacher is unfair in marking; or "he has it in for me because I did not give a certain book report." Hence, you sign the report card believing that perhaps your child is right and the teacher was wrong. Now take the teacher's point of view. How can he find out why the student was absent or what the conditions are in the home if he does not have a talk with the parents? Perhaps if he knew he could mark more correctly. That brings up another thought relative to report cards—lessons. Does your child have any home work to do? When he does not do them, you think the teacher as¬signed nothing. The teacher ex¬pects the student to prepare lessons either in study hall or at home. Many do not take lessons home; many are idle in study hall or at home. In checking up the marks of the students, just out of curiosity, I found that some of them need to study and some do not. How can the parents help here? A little conference consisting of three people will greatly aid in ironing out this one little nightmare of the stu¬dent and the teacher—marks! So parents, let's talk it over with the teacher. I am sure you will be de¬lighted with the results. I'll be watching for you November 7, dur-ing the day and evening.—The Spectator. NOVI POETAE Novi Poetae is sure of a success¬ful year with the start it made with its recent admittance of three very capable pledges: Rose Yoshioka, Dick Bailey, and John Layne. The club expects to receive sev¬eral more pledges in the near fu¬ture, and it wishes to extend a wel-come to any one interested in its activities. If there is any student sufficiently interested in creative writing to wish admittance, we re¬quest him to contact Mr. Thornley as soon as possible. TIT-TAT It is rumored that captains and sponsors are chosen this week. I hope all the fortunates will be worthy of this honor. Ernie was feeling good Saturday night. Some of the spectators couldn't tell whether he was with Barbara or Pudgy. Ab, you funny thing, now who has your ring? Bob Emmett seems to need a couple of rehearsals before he can take a picture for the Year book. (His camera sometimes doesn't work, so he says). Well, it seems now that all the Carpe girls have their pins back. Congratulations! Edna, why can't you make up your mind instead of keeping these 5. PARENTS WILL BE GUESTS OF O.H.S.

At eventide when lamps are low I curl up in a chair Before the hearth-fire's kindly glow, To paint the future there. I stare into the fire's bright gleam, With other cares aside, And see tomorrow in that dream— My dream at eventide. —Elizabeth Parkinson.
