The exhibit will consist of about 25 paintings and sketches in oil. The material for these paintings has come from the surrounding country. The scenes are chosen from Ogden canyon, Huntsville, Eden and the valleys nearby. A wonderful variation will be found in the snowscapes, the winter scenes and the autumn and spring themes which will also be among those on exhibit. A students' exhibit will also be held in the art room. The girls' association has been very fortunate in obtaining these exhibits for one week beginning Friday. With the progress already shown the mothers' tea is certain to be a wonderful success. OUR GAMES The doctor, shaking his head sadly, announced that the Ogden High school was suffering from a terrible disease, disloyalty. It is, indeed, sad to note that many students, mostly juniors, have attended every T junior high game but have been noticeably absent from their own games. We hope that these students will be able to turn out for the game with Weber on Armistice day. OUR LIBRARY n The library of Ogden High has grown considerably of late, and, re- r, gardless of preference, one is sure 3t to find a wonderful selection in the id library.

BACK TO NORMALCY : Another excerpt from the Carnegie foundation report on American college athletics is here given: : "It requires no tabulation of sta-1 tistics to prove that the young ath lete who gives himself for months 1 body and soul, to training under s professional coach for a gruellinj i contest, staged to focus the atten tion of thousands of people, an; upon which many thousands of dollars will be staked, will find no tim or energy for any serious inteilec' tual effort. The compromises tha have to be made to keep such stu dents in college and pass then through to a degree give an air o insincerity to he whole university' college regime. We cannot serv ' every cause-scholarship, science I business, salesmanship, organized athletics-through the university. The need today is to re-examine our educational regime wtih the determination to attain in greater measure the simplicity, sincerity and1 thoroughness that is the life blood- of any university in any country a any age."

RIFLE PRACTICE STARTS. . .OGDEN, Utah, Nov. 1.-(Special)- Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 3:15 at the firing range of Ogden high school, Sergeant Holloway delivered a lecture on marksmanship, after which the R. O. T. C. boys started rifle practice. Ogden . . High School News Nov. 1-1929 (Lucile Somers, Editor Pro-tem.) "It may be all right to be content with what you have, but never with what you are." THE ART COLLECTION The Art collection of the Ogden High school was fostered by the Girls' association. Since this collection is one of the largest in Ogden, it is well to know a little of the history. In 1910, the class presented two bas reliefs to the school. These bas reliefs were the work of Avard Tennyson Fairbanks. At this time, however, there was little thought of a collection. In 1924, the girls' association, having a large sum of money on hand, decided to bring together the collection and add at least one picture a year. This hai 1 beep an unbroken custom eve] 1 since. Mrs. Gertrude Coolidge, novi Mrs. Gertrude Coolidge Irwin, anc 1 Miriam Cain, president of the association, are largely responsible foi the art collection we now have. We have a large collection, and, in order that every student might know more about this collection, an attempt will be made to tell of the i prominent artists who have pictures i in the collection and to give a little I description of the pictures. The ; Utah artists will be the first mentioned since they naturally come first in our minds. FOOTBALL AT NIGHT It had been planned that our game with Weber should be played at night with flood lights and a white football. Since that time, however, the time has been set for; 2:30 on Armistice day. Night football playing has been very success-1 ful in other sections of the country, but it is difficult to attempt inj this section. In addition to the' climatic conditions we should have the immense cost of transportation! and installation of the floodlights! from the Utah state fair grounds.! Day or night we will all be there: with bells on. OUR LIBRARY The students aren't the only ones in the Ogden High school who like to read. Our teachers also find time now and then to read a book or two. The following books will be of a great deal of interest to the teachers, and the students might try, to read them, also. Seabrook- "Magic Island," an interesting; story of travel in Haiti. Mussolini- ; Autobiography. Siegfreid, Andre-"America Comes. I to Age." A French analysis of Americans. PHI LAMBDA TAU Say, have you noticed our new uniforms? Aren't they nifty? We think so, too! We had our meeting Wednesday at 3:25 and, like all Phi Lambda meetings, it was just as snappy and interesting as it could be. Ethel Thomas gave us a very interesting and helpful talk on parliamentary law, and Marion Allison gave us the "low down" on our big party that . is coming off Friday. It's going to ; be a treasure hunt, so we don't know just what it's going to be like, but we'll tell you all about it soon.- Pat. ZETA PHI XI Halloween time and our initiation! Mystery and fun aplenty in both. Deep, dark secrets were whis- ; pered last night after school in Mr. Wangsgard's room, when the mem- t bers planned what measures would be dealt out to the poor pledges, Friday night. If you want to know 1 how we treat them, ask one of the following how they feel Monday . morning: Nelda Allen, Bernice Hall, Virginia Bott, Jessie McKinley, or Virginia Oborn, our new junior. ; -Jeanette Parry. OUR GRADUATES Another of Ogden High's graduates is making a name for herself and the Ogden High school. Miss . Winnifred McConnell, a graduate of the class of '27, has been appointed to serve on the editorial staff of "The Window," a literary magazine of the University of Colorado. SHATTER AND CHAFF Les Mayer is trying to get an introduction to get an introduction to Mrs. Newcomb's friend. Miss Augusta Wind. If anyone' is acquainted with the young lady, please help Les out. Those who do not already know who the sponsors are will have to wait until next Friday to find out. They will then be officially introduced. COSTUME DESIGNING Mr. Wiggins, superintendent of part time school and adult instruction, is bringing a course in costume designing to the women of Ogden. This course will be in charge of Miss Gladys Holt and will be similar to the course in nutrition aught here last year. The various )hases of color, harmony, and chil- Iren's clothing will be taken up. rhose who take this course are ure to find it interesting. MY MOTHER Who would not love her,- Sweet and free from guile? Who would not love her, Tremulous, glad smile? Gold she is, and very fair, Golden heart and golden hair, Nudas maid, Gay, unafraid; Sunshine around, above her, Tis thus I know and love her. IMPORTANT NOTICE All clubs must have their reports in for the first issue of the quarterly before 9:20 Monday morning, November 4. Give them either to Mrs. Newcomb or Berneice Hall. NOTED VISITOR On Thursday, Ogden High school was favored with a visit from James W. Baker, author of Twentieth Century Booking, which is-used in about 75 per cent of the high schools of the country. Mr. Baker is a very affable gentleman and one very well informed on modern business methods. A DOG STORY Tuesday some high school boys were passed by a stray dog on Twenty-fifth street. One of the boys called out-"Come on, boys; let's get that dog for Colonel Cunningham." Of course this incident is of interest only to students and others who know of the colonel's collection of dogs. INQUISITIVE NURSE A diminutive graduate of the Ogden High school is now teaching in one of the elementary schools. On Wednesday a nurse visited the school to examine the pupils. Mis- taking the teacher for a pupil, the nurse said, "Hold, out your hands." "Turn them, over, let me see the palms." "Stick out your tongue. Let me see your teeth." At this point, in great embarrassment and indignation the teacher asked, "What's the big idea?" TESTING THE PONTIAC Mr. Robins, instructor of English, has discovered a new way to prevent tardiness in the fifth period. He loads all the girls hi the class in his Pontiac for the trip home at noon to lunch. CRUELTY TO PARENTS "There is not a state in the Union in which a father is permitted to cut off his boy's arm-not a state in which he would not be punished criminally if he attempted to send his boy out thus mutilated to compete with boys having two arms. And yet in this age the father who would deliberately deny to his boy the advantages of an education and send him out half- educated would really be more cruel to his son than the father who would cut off an arm."-Selected. Schools Accept Offer. OGDEN, Nov. 4-Ogden City board of education has accepted the offer of the state board of health for free service for the immunization of school children ag-ainst contagious diseases, says Supt. W. Karl Hopkins. It is said that the Weber County Medical society protested the free offer. |
