To the Huntsville Trio we leave a copy of "My Favorite Haunts.' ' To Mr. Merrill we leave a pack¬age of Murads to make him look nonchalant when he is articulating on the radio. To everyone in particular we leave our best wishes—may all your trou¬bles be little ones. Heh, Heh, we fooled you that time—The Four Irresponsibles. LARGER SCHOOL BUILDING HELD PRESSING NEED THE largest, and what W. Karl Hopkins, superintendent of Og¬den city schools, said was the finest class ever graduated from the Og¬den high school, received diplomas this morning at the commencement exercises at the Orpheum theatre. The class was presented by A. M. Merrill, principal of school, who heartily recommended to Superin-tendent Hopkins that the pupils be given their certificates of graduation. Every pupil on the stage, he declared, was worthy to go on to higher education and the best that life has to offer. CLASSES EXPANDING In presenting the diplomas Mr. Hopkins said that in his estima¬tion it was the best class ever grad¬uated from the Ogden public schools. "I feel proud of this class," he de¬clared. "One reason is that I am one of the parents who has a child in the group. Another reason is that this is the first class I saw enter the school system and I have been with them through the entire time they have been learning, twelve years. "This is the largest class we have ever graduated," he continued, "with 377 students. Next year's class will be larger. There is one thing you parents cannot get away from, and that is the building of a new high school. Next fall there will be over 1000 pupils come into our system to replace these graduating today. I sincerely hope that the next two or three years will see a new high school to take care of the ever-grow- ing number of pupils." The high school orchestra under the direction of Glenn Hansen open¬ed the program playing "Liebestraume. Nocturne No. 11," by Liszt, which was followed by the invoca¬tion by George C. Ensign. Miss Dorothy Crawford played a piano solo, "Rhapsodie Hongroise," No. 11, also by Liszt. Miss Dorothy Nelson gave an address on "Going on a Journey." "Today," she said "we quit traveling the byroads of life and launch on to that main highway. We hesitate to go forward. We feel that we are not pre¬pared and lack experience. We need the guiding hand of more mature wisdom and judgment. We need the counsel of older people." A violin solo, "Concerto No. 4, Opus 15," was played by Miss Flor¬ence Steckel, followed by a girls' trio composed by Yvonne Peirce, Dorothy Knowlden and Doris Wangsgard, singing "An Old Re¬frain," by Berger. Raymond Raty delivered a read¬ing, "Gentlemen, the King," a dra¬matic scene written by Robert Barr, and Miss Alice Caldwell sang "Swiss Echo Song," by C. Eckert. Ellis Cragun played "Concert Fan¬tasia," from Rigoletto, by Verdi, as a clarinet solo followed by Robert Kimball who presented an oration, 'The Passing of the Frontier." "Today," he said, "man faces a frontier made by himself. The old frontier of western conditions has been pushed into the Pacific ocean and the frontier of today is composed of electrical development anct science. We must carry on and dedicate our lives to the cause of progress and ever push on the frontier of achievement." A male quartet composed of Glen Judd, Max Clark, Walker Low and Walton Burton, sang "Forward," by Parks. MEETING PROBLEMS Doyle Jensen gave an oration, "The Spirit of the Little Red School House," in which he expressed the responsibility of the generation of, which he is a member. "There have been great achieve¬ments in the past generation," he declared, "but in those achievements, has lain the disregarding of condi¬tions. On our youthful shoulders lies the task of quelling unrest, the bringing back of prosperity, the cor¬rection of social degenssacy, the quelling of gangsters and the facing of the problem of prohibition. "The teaching of the little red school house will help us to cope with these problems. There we learn to give fair analysis to every prob¬lem and not radical judgment." Superintendent Hopkins was as¬sisted in the presentation of the diplimas by Mr. Merrill and Mrs. Harry I. Erwin, dean of girls of the Og¬den high school. The singing of the school song by the graduating class and the benediction by George C. Ensign concluded the exercises.
