These students think that this practice is unfair and wish to have the matter brought before a faculty meeting. Evidently the object is to deter¬mine how much the student has learned during the term, but this can not be accomplished by an examina- ! tion. The average student is never at his best under pressure, and often many really good students fall below par in their examinations. Tests are very beneficial, it is true; they serve j to arouse the pupil's mind and awak- i en his sense of competition; but they should not be used to deter¬mine what knowledge the student has acquired by the end of the term. Class work should be given due consideration, A pupil who does good class work throughout the term and gets a low mark as the result of an examination may be justly indignant. One cannot recall all that he has learned in the time permitted for an examination, and he may know more than the test indicates. Yet, an alteration of the present system would undoubtedly result in a higher standard among students and would be a benefit to the school. —O-H-S— HONOR AWARDS It is the greatest thing that a fel¬low or girl can do in high school; to get an honor award. The fellows ; who are out for athletics are sup¬posed to be the pick of the school, , they are to be good students, they are to live right, and above all to be good sports. In most cases, every fellow that is out. fills these require¬ments. They work for their awards and deserve them when they get them. There is more to receiving a sweater than iust the sweater it¬self. There is the meaning of the award; it is an honor to have it, and it is something to be proud of. There are other ways in which we can work for honor awards. In all cases the award is earned. Many students in the high school don't ever stop to realize that there is something more in school for them than an education. In high school we build the foundation to our life reputation. Those who come out of high school with a high standing, have something to work for, and something to keep: their reputation. Those who can graduate with awards of honor along with their good marks and high standing are the ones who can make the higher positions in life. Respect a high school award of honor, for that is what they are, because they mean more to you than vou think. It pavs to keep them. —O-H-S— The absent-minded professor sur¬veyed himself in the hair brush in¬stead of the mirror. "Gracious, but I need a shave," he mused. The Professor: "I noticed you were talking during my lecture this morning." The Student; "Isn't that funny? Dad said I talked in my sleep too." SCHOOL DANCES This seems to be a foreign term to the students of the Ogden high school. But in the event that we should have any more of them, let us understand what they are and what they are not. It was what they were not that caused them to be discontinued in the high school, as nearly as we can find out. In the first place, a school dance should be one held in the school hall. It should be attended by all the stu¬dents of the school. It should be treated as a school dance and not a public dance. Your school is your place of learning, and should be thought of as you think of your home. Its dances should have your support. In talking about the disagreeable part of our past dances, we must be careful. We are not sure what was _ wrong. We are not sure who object¬ed to them. In fact it is mystery that must be left to solve itself. Our only hopes are that the difficulty will be overcome soon. For what is a high school without its good enter¬taining scoial functions — school dances mainly? —O-H-S— SELF CONTROL Self control is the use of the will power to restrain our desires. The surest way to happiness is through the ability to master our emotions. Only by governing ourselves can we develop in any direction. Every misfortune which the human race suffers is due entirely to lack of self control. The great crimes of which we read nearly every day in the newspapers are due to a complete loss of self control on the part of the perpetrators. On every hand are drunkards, smokers, dope fiends and penniless wanderers of the type commonly known as "tramps," who should be everlasting incentives to us to practice self restrains. Many boys and girls fail completely in high school simply because they will not control themselves enough to study. All our great men are shining ex¬amples of self control. Success in anv line is obtained only through self mastery, for, as the Bible says, "He who conquereth himself is i greater than he who taketh a city." _O-H-S— SUPPORT YOUR TIGER Nearly every family in the United States subscribes to at least a weekly newspaper, that it may keep in touch with the conditions and affairs of the world. Every student in the high school should buy his Tiger'that he may become acquainted with school activities, and the school life that does not have to do with books and studies. The newspaper is published for the enlightenment of its public, ( the Tiger is edited for the benefit of i the school, and its success depends entirely upon the support given it by the student body. Do you want your 1 school to be a "dead one," or would j you like to see it with a little life? There is no better means of conrey- I ing pep than through a lively news- I paper. If the staff knows that it | has the co-operation of the students, i it will be better able to put out the desired snappy paper. Don't be a knocker. If you have anything to say, come out in the open, and offer your criticisms, and give us a chance at a comeback. If there is anything you don't like, help us remedy it instead of blaming us.. And remember that the life of the Tiger is up to you. If you sponge on your neighbor's paper, you are iust | helping that much to put your Tiger I and all other activities to death. Buy your Tiger, and help us give the school a better, peppier bigger and more successful paper than ever before. —O-H-S— God's Great Outdoors I like to walk beneath the trees And lister to the gold fish sneeze, Then gollap 'round till after dark . And watch the little froglets park. The plaintive whimmy of the flea Reminds me very much of he, Yet not so like the nightingale As are the dainty, dancing whale. Alas, why do the oysters wheezs Like camels on a pair of skiis? Ah, most of all I like to hear A turtle lapping lager beer! The elephant are a thoughtful bird, His trunk are packed for flight He never has his wings unfold But if he do good-night! SCHEDULE OF ASSEMBLIES The following assemblies have been planned for the students of the Ogden high school. February fourteenth: The "Student Body" in charge. Marcus Mattson, president. Miss Watkins will give readings at this assembly and some good musciai unmbers have been planned. February twenty-first: Girls' Ath¬letic Association. Miss Stookey in charge. Madge Ashton, president. The G. A. A. have a very clever and interesting program planned. March seventh: Open date. March fourteenth: "T. N. T." Vernon Mattson, president. "Nuff said." March twenty-first: Gamma Kap¬pa, William Hutchins, president. They promise the students a rare treat. (?) March twenty-eighth: Girls' De¬bating Society, Dorothy Vail, presi¬dent. We wonder what the girls will do? The committee on assemblies is very eager to make each assembly a good one. If there is any organiza¬tion in school that has something in teresting to present to the stu¬dents, will they please see us im¬mediately? —O-H-S— JOKES Freshman: "Two milk shakes." Freshman (later): "Change mine to a lemonade." Clerk: "What do you thing this is, a Blackstone performance?" Wealthy Land Owner: "And so you want the job of running this plantation. What do you know about farming?" Ambitious Manicurist: "I've man¬aged hands all my life." Frank S.: "How far out to sea did you go this summer?" Lipp: "A little over three miles." Max C.: "Gimme a cigarette." Bill Smith: "Why, I thought you told me you had quit." Max C: "Well. I have reached the first stage, I've quit buying." Mrs. Lovedahl: "Loyd, Loyd, get p the gas is leaking!" Loyd, L.: "Aw, put a pan under it and come to bed." Dolly: "The price mark on Carty's gift is quite plain—$17.50." : Virginia: "H'm! I wonder what it l really cost?" For Those Who Care Brown’s Delicia Ice Cream More than satisfied. It's smooth Velvety taste has created a perpetual demand. Brown Ice Cream Co. PHONE 315 JUNIORS AS A CLASS In the opinion of at least two peo¬ple, Beans Smith and myself, the junior class of Ogden high school rates about as high as a carload of refrigerators at the north pole. Students who have reached the estate of juniors in a secondary school haven't may years to con¬tinue. They have a few important events such as marriage and death still coming to them, but these are trivial compared to the great thing that they are privileged to enjoy while still able to. I refer to the Junior Promenade. Mr. Alyson Smith, whom you have seen fit to elect pilot of the third year class, is struggling against enormous handicaps in trying to make a success of the affair this year. Since we are not allowed to have a junior play, the funds are hardly sufficient to put over an affair of this magnitude without the united and unanimous support of the class. If the showing made at the last meeting is indicative of the attitude the juniors are going to take regard¬ing the prom, the committees who have been appointed might as well give up and allow the junior class of Tineteen Nwenty-four go down on the records of the school as the only class who didn't have gumption enough to give a prom. —O-H-S— Explorer (examining a volcano in ; Japan): "It looks like hell, doesn't it?" ; Guide: "My. how these Americans have traveled." "See Us First" Watson-Tanner Clothing Co Dave H.: "Where did the cheese come from that the moon is made of, pop?" Father: "From the milky way, my son." Dave H.: "And where did the milky way come from, papa?" Father: "Fr om the cow that jumped over the moon, my son."
