T. rifle competition for the William Randolph Hearst tro­phies will be held in the near fu­ture, according to a message re­cently sent from the war depart­ment in Washington. In addition to the prizes this year the members of the national championship team will be given a trip to Washington, D. C. The commanding general, Sixth corps area, will have supervision of the conduct of the matches. Good luck, boys! DESERVED PROMOTION Congratulations to Sergeant Ed Holloway, who has received a pro­motion to title of staff sergeant, with additional compensation. How­ever, many promotions may come to sergeant, we will say he is wor­thy of them. He has been for many years a stalwart worker in Og- den's High R. O. T. C. REPORTS COMING Smiling faces or frowning ones? Which will it be? This week report cards will be completed and given to the students on Wednesday. Of course, we are looking forward to i good marks, but how can we stop feeling anxious when we know just" what dad will say if they are not. VISITORS AT SCHOOL On Thursday, Mr. Taggart, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Abplanalp were hosts to several teachers from Logan and Morgan High schools. S. Ballif from Logan visited the French classes, E. Lee and Mr. Lar­son visited the commercial stu­dents and they demonstrated then- ability for them. N. W. Christenson from Logan and Floyd Larson from Morgan visited the music room mainly. We extend the invitation to them to come and visit us more often and we sincerely hope we have left a deep impression on the visitors with j our work. THURSDAY'S ASSEMBLY Cameron Beck was the speaker of j cur assembly, held Thursday morn­ ing. It is as he said, we were ail wondering what kind of bunk he was going to hand us. Some stu- ! dents were so certain that was all it would consist of they didn't even come to assembly. They certainly i missed a treat! Mr. Beck held the students spellbound. The boys' chorus sang a selection and Mr. Beck told them it was Worth his trip just to hear them sing. We think so, too! We express our thanks to Mr. Hopkins for bringing Mr. Beck here to speak to us. There is only one thing we can say and that is we hope he will come to Ogden again soon and will speak to us again. A HAPPY DISCOVERY We have discovered recently that the Ogden High school is complete­ly wired for the installation of a radio set with a loud speaker in each room. Of course, it was not originally wired for this purpose- Oct. 23, 1929 Ogden High School News Marg Anderson, Editor, Pro Tem. For the last week or so, the girls, even more than the boys, have been wondering who will be what in the R. O. T. C. At last our curiosity has been satisfied-to some extent, anyway. We are still wondering about sponsors-who'll they be, of­ficers? An interesting lecture was given at Weber college yesterday by Mrs. W. G. Brown of Chicago. Illustrations in color were made. This made us appreciate it even more. Her sub­ject was, "The Nation's Capitol." A largfe number of high school stu­dents attended, and, I'm sure, en­joyed it immensely. Stellae had its second meeting of this year Thursday night at Marg's. After our business meeting a de­lightful program was offered by program committee-Maxine Fox, chairman. It consisted of a num­ber of songs by Ruth Greaves and Yovonne Pierce; two readings by Jeanette Manning, and popular mu­sic by Hugh Ford, saxophone, and Hod Nebeker, banjo. We then elected three new senior boys as members. They are Hugh Mayer, Ben Cartwright and Burke Frye. After refreshments and dancing we adjourned. Next meeting we are to elect one senior boy and four senior girls. . CONGRESS. Congress met Monday night in room 103. Some interesting talks on disarmament were given, and next Monday night we are going to have a debate on that subject. You senior girls who take Literary Digest will find the debate inter­esting as well as helpful. We would like to see more seniors out. Reporter-Le Nora Ketchue. AUNT JANE'S CORNER. Dear Aunt Jane: We are wondering why the Hal­loween party has been called off. It is such a peppy dance. Our school parties help to make school spirit. Let's have one. -Wondering Lass. Dear Little Lass: Yes, I think our school parties are very successful and very neces­sary but on account of the fact that we were unable to obtain Berthana hall for the Halloween party we'll just have to do without! But be patient, it won't be long till Thanks­giving. The highest average number ol high school students per thousand population is as follows: Kansas 57, California 53, Iowa and Utah 49. Among the states with lowest en­rollments are Georgia 13, Mississippi 14, South Carolina 15. I think of Edison as being in the hands of the Creator, and the work that he does is the work of that One.-Rader Deegan. MORE SAVINGS. Ogden High had an increase o; 12 per cent in number of schoo: savings accounts last week. Two weeks ago we had 25 per cent, last week 37 per cent. The United States department of commerce estimates that on July 1, 1929, more than ten million homes had radio equipment. Education pays inexcellence and happiness of life; it also has a dol­lar value. The average life earn­ings of an elementary school gradu­ate are $64,000; of a high school graduate, $88,000; of a college graduate, $144,000.-Review of Re­views. STUDENT CONTRIBUTION ABOUT EDISON. Room 300. Edison has done more than any other man to make the work of the housewife easier.-Herbert Christensen. Those of us who have enjoyed Edison's inventions since our birth are apt to regard them as simple and commonplace.-Alvin Wines. In the life of every truly great man there seems to be one quality outstanding, and the more success­ful the man, the greater the amount of that quality. It is what we in America term "stick-to-it," or the ability to carry on. It is the way Thomas Edison has carried on that makes me admire him.-Iras Leavitt. It is indeed hard to say who has been the greatest inventor in his­tory. Nevertheless the United States has decided the answer by striking off a special medal to Edison in remembrance of his great contribu­tions to our daily lives.-Virginia Clay. Edison has taught the world that great men are made and not born. -Dee Bramwell. There was a time when all work ceased with the setting of the sun. Now even the hens can work 24 hours a day. All this is due to Edison.-Suggested by Grant Morse. As I walk along the streets of Ogden at evening, the colorful signs, the luminous street lamps, the bright displays call to my mind that deaf, white-haired magician who is still working to make the lives of men more comfortable and more liveable.-Henry Aiken. Thomas A. Edison has preserved for humanity the songs and voices of great singers-Sam Morgan. I admire Edison not because of the great many comforts and con­veniences he has given the world but because he represents a man whose teard work with mind and body won for him success.-Burke Fry. Edison believes that no person should be idle, even though he is old.-David Mattson. Had Edison been afraid to work, the world might still be using candle light.-Maurine Israelson. The genius of Edison is shown in his versatility.-George Billings. It requires eight minutes and eight seconds for the light from the sun to reach the earth. Hehas preserved through his in­vention of the phonograph the gret musicians of the past. And he has brought comfort into the life of man with his great invention of the in­candescent light.-Anni§ Liptrot. Thomas A. Edison, working in his small factory which is now sur­rounded by tall buildings like a lit­tle mother surrounded by stalwart sons, shows himself a genius, dis­covering electricity, which rules the world. Always striving for better things by which to progress, with his dominant character, he has set an example for everyone to follow. Too much cannot be said in singing his praises as we celebrate Edison's in­ventions, which are used everywhere in the world.-Dorothy Knowlden. In 1879 r- solitary figure labored in a little laboratory in Menlo park, fighting the fight of his life, -for light. Then came the an­nouncement that Thomas A. Edison had won-had brought light to a world for ages doomed to dimness after sundown, years of painstaking research and ceaseless experimenta­tion had resulted in success.-Abe Gordon. Ogden . . High School News Oct. 24, 1929 MARG. ANDERSON Editor Pro-Tem We have all noticed a certain number of senior girls walking, or rather sort of floating, around school wearing broad grins. Why, we wonder? The answer is really simple enough: Sponsors! - of course. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to the hall of fame: Maxine Fox: Because she is colo­nel. Because she says that if wom­en had better taste there would be more bachelors. Because she be­lieves that eventually we will have a new high school building. Henry Aiken: Because he still thinks that Company B is going to win the cup this year. He should know better. Because he says an optimist is a man who is going to get married. Because he thinks the colonel's niece is plenty fine. Beth Peck: Because she is lieu­tenant colonel. Because she calls him epidemic-he comes around so often. Because she was once heard to say: "No wonder the hen gets discouraged, she can never rind things where she lays them. WELCOME HONOLULU This afternoon the students of Ogden High school joined with the students of Weber college and stu­dents of Weber County High in wel­coming the football players from Honolulu. A large crowd greeted them, singing "Welcome, Honolu­lu." Let's all get out to the game and show our visitors we are sup­porting Ogden. Fellows! Get your dates! SPONSORS The selection of sponsors is prac­tically completed and the list will be announced soon-probably to­morrow. Lucky, lucky, girls! How we envy them! COUNCIL The regular Council meeting was called to order by President Stew­art. The roll was called, ana the minutes were read and approved. The social committee reported that Carpe Diem and Phi Lamba Tau each wish to have a party on Fri­day, November 1, and that We-13 wishes to have a party on Satur­day, October 26. The Girl's asso­ciation asked permission to have a I hike a week from Wednesday. Per- ; mission was granted for these par­ties. The report was accepted by a motion. It was moved and second­ed that the constitution of A. D. M. be accepted. The motion was carried. It was moved and seconded that the finance committee report be taken from the table. The mo­tion was carried. A short discussion on the bids for the Quarterly then followed. It was moved and sec­onded that the finance committss report be tabled. The motion was carried. Dee Bramwell commented on the need of new trousers for the yell leaders' uniforms. It was moved and seconded that an appro­priation be made with which to pur­chase new trousers for the yell lead­ers. The motion was carried. It was moved and seconded that Mr. Nebeker be editor of the Year Book. The motion was carried. Council then adjourned. RADER DEEGAN, Secretary. SUCCESS Success depends more upon the ability and willingness to work hard and intelligently than upon any other factor. What is worth doing or acquiring is worth working for, and the harder we work the more likely we are to succeed. This ap­plies to high school work as well as to every real interest in life. Ninety per cent of the excuses for failure are false. They deceive no one, ex­cept one's self. Ninety per cent of the reasons for success lies within one's self. „ „ . -Josiah H. Penniman. BOXED EARS-DEAF PEOPLE When Thomas A. Edison was a small lad, he sold newspapers on a train. Edison loved to work with laboratory chemicals. He had his mother's cellar full of bottles, wires, screws, and all the rest of the para­phernalia small boys would have in such a place. He spent all his money on buying chemicals at the drug store. His mother became very angry at him once, because a bottle of poison, smelling of the essence of a skunk, was turned over, scenting the house for a week. She ordered, j or ratner forbade him to have even one bottle of liquid' in the cellar. Now, everyone liked Edison, and the conductor of the train on which he sold newspapers was no excep­tion, and, after about two hours of coaxing, Tommy was permitted to bring all his "stuff" on the train, using the half of the mail car which was never used. The train was traveling at a ter­rific speed one day, trying to make up an hour's delay. While going around a bend, a bottle fell off the shelf and was shattered to pieces on the floor. The contents of the bottle started aflame, and soon the wnoie car was ourning. The conductor knew it was wrong to let Edison use the mail car, but "Tommy was such a good kid," so Tommy used the car. The officials must not know of this, or the con­ductor would be the one who would stand responsible for the fire. After putting the" fire out, the man was so angry at Edison that he boxed him on his ears, and kicked him off the car. You must remember, the train was going very fast, and Edison was thrown out into the air, just after his ears were boxed, and before they quit ringing. This sudden jar on his head made him deaf, and he has been partially deaf ever since.-Naomi Wall. STUDENT CONTRIBUTIONS ABOUT EDISON Room 106 Mr. Edison kept to the motto, "Everything to him who strives while he waits."-Naoma Blaylock. Edison's influence on the indus-_ tries of America cannot be over­estimated.-Agnes McPhie. ! Edison has been highly honored in America and also in foreign coun­tries. He was made a member of the Legion of Honcr of France in 1778, and a commander in 1889.- Avon Smith. The incandescent lamp invented by the wizard of Menlo park is I celebrating its golden jubilee. The . 1 wonderful device which in its per­fected form permits the civilized world to be lighted by the pressing I of a button is surely enough to , furnish undying fame and to claim , humanity's everlasting gratitude for [ the man who made it possible.- Masaye Kishida. i m ' ; Today we are celebrating the golden anniversary .of the most won- ; derful discovery of time, and we 3 pay homage to the man, Thomas Alva Edison, to whom we owe our many modern conveniences.-Virginia Oborn. Last night there was a program given over the radio in honor of Edison and to the people who were gathered he said, "You are not only honoring me, but the people of the oast who helped me to be what I am today.-Ken Wheelwright. HOME ECONOMICS Miss Corless, Evelyn Farr and Nora Stephens, delegates, were guests at the Home Economics club breakfast Friday, October 18, at the Newhouse hotel in Salt Lake. Ideas and experiences were ex­changed with delegates from all parts of the state. Many valuable suggestions were given by the U. of U. delegate to the national conven­tion last spring. Our delegate paid our annual fees, so that we are affiliated with both state and national association. Miss Mealiff was chosen editor for 1929, of the Home Economics Teachers' Annual Journal. A fine choice, we think. MAY HARRISON, Reporter.
