Show CADETS DANCE Spring is here and the boys of the R. O. T. C. have turned into a group of flitting butterflies, or should I say butterflies at heart and elephants in action? The boys ex¬hibited their lumsiness in the gym¬nasium Tuesday morning, March 26. Such a combination of enthusi¬asm and awkward maneuvers is seldom witnessed. These actions I have mentioned were attempts at the grand old dance, the Virginia reel. I am quite sure Mrs. White, the dancing in¬structor, has come to the conclusion these boys are about the clumsiest specimens she has ever dealt with. —A disgusted audience. 19. SURPRISES TO BE SPRUNG AT MUSIC EVENTS Prediction Is Made Public Will Get Unexpected Pleasure OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The music festival of Region 1 promises to be one of the real ev¬ents of the year. Reports from Cache county, Morgan, Box Elder, Davis, are most encouraging. It is estimated 5,000 people will* come into Ogden for the affair, 2,000 of whom will be active participants. The public, at large, not really being cognizant of what is being accom¬plished in music in the public schools of today, has some most pleasant surprises awaiting it. The parade Saturday morning April 13, will be colorful, spectacular, en-chanting. No one can afford to miss this. Neither should one miss the contests that will take place in sev¬eral centers of the city. Watch for the full program and then arrange to hear the particular type of music that you like best. NEW BOOKS FOR LIBRARY On Wednesday, through courtesy of Superintendent Hopkins, we add¬ed to our school library "The Amer¬ican Yearbook, a Record of Events and Progress for 1934." It goes without saying that this book is appreciated and that someone's nose, teacher's or pupil's will be found in this book every hour of every day. WE ARE HONORED On Wednesday, Mrs. Vera Frey Beason extended an invitation to our quartet to participate in a state wide musical program arranged by the Utah Federation of Music clubs, to be held in Salt Lake City on the afternoon of April 8. The invitation was accepted. YEARBOOKS Students are gradually awakening to the fact that their time for or¬dering yearbooks will soon be past. A few orders are trickling in. May we suggest that if you wish a year¬book, that you had best order now? One dollar deposit will insure you the book. A LIVE WIRE High school pupils are always alive, alert, active, but when a teacher evidences enthusiasm, pep, ginger, etc., as Instructor Adelbert Farnsworth is now doing as general manager of the Classicalia, it is a matter of news worth mentioning. We mention it, and congratulate Mr. Farnsworth on his youthfulness. HOLMES HAS FAILED The plot thickens. The mystery is deep and dark. All are puzzled; all are waiting in fearful suspense. The great Sherlock Holmes himself had been called on the case, but, for the first time in the history of his renowned career, he has fail¬ed. There were no clues, no scents. He had nothing to work on. All had been kept dark and will be kept dark until the night of the Classi¬calia. If you want to find out that which has baffled the great sleuth himself, like him you will have to attend the dance, for at the Classi¬calia and the Classicalia only will, the queen of Ogden high be made known.—Barbara Clark. "DEFINITIONS" A teacher's mind—a mechanical organism cramm to the zenith with information. Utterly without emotion. An acknowledger of bad in a student. School life—a continual race to get to class with brief interludes of rests called assemblies. Combinations on lockers—instiga¬tors of madness designed in a hec¬tic moment by some moron. Bulletin board—a jumbled mass of dates and events that only a mas¬ter mind could decipher. Lessons—a gigantic obstacle, al¬most unsurmountable, placed as a stumbling block by over - zealous teachers. School beginning at eight-thirty —a dangerous hazard to the health of the student, due to lack of sleep it necessitates. Demerits—A brutal method of ob¬taining results in drill. Stillness in study hall—a form of obedience in which one must try to observe the rules of perpetual quietude. Knowledge— an illusion that is here today and gone tomorrow. Uselessly sought after by students and rarely absorbed. Tests—a method of punishment that a teacher resorts to when all others fail. Girls—the one and only redeem¬ing feature of school life. Uselessness— these definitions.— Ralph Halverson. 20.

All next week will be our spring vacation, one long week in which to recuper-ate and make up for lost time. The students will be refreshed when they return to school a week Monday, eager to continue student activities; the teachers will be revived from the strain of having to teach us for seven months ready to renew teach¬ing tactics. All in all this coming holiday is much deserved, desired, and ft need¬ed one.
