The salutatory, "Our Commencement," was given by Miss Norma Hodgson. Orville Winkler lffljdelivered the oration, "Leisure Time." HOPKINS SPEAKS, 'gfe Prior to presenting the certifi- mcates, Superintendent Hopkins ggsaid: 1 "Although a new high school gili building has been completed Msomewhere in the United States mSm, every -clay of the year for the last 30 years, it has been impossible to jbuild 'high schools fast enough toScare for the army of young people ho are demanding a high school iucation. j8B "In the last seven years the enrollment in the high schools thisHcountry has doubled. From 1919- to 1922-23 the high school en- Mrollment in Ogden city increased from 866 to 1735-100 per cent in lllll three years. If the same rate of increase continues for the next three years-and there is every fgfl prospect that it will-there will be Main 1925-26 in the high school of Ogden 3470 pupils. "We have enrolled in the Ogden Senior high this year 1080 pupils. BBBOf this number 900 probably will S return next year. There will beundoubtedly 200 pupils from weber. In addition to this, there HfflSwill. be graduated from the ninth gS grade about 6 00 more, making a gjljtotal in senior high next year of H!approximately 17 00 pupils in the SHMjtenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. ma There will be promoted from the g eighth grades to the ninth grade j §g;about 700, so that our high school' enrollment next year will reach ap- j mraproximately 2400 pupils. Ijsg'H "The schools of Ogden, there- i fore, in the near future, offer a 1 challenge to the best constructive 1 thought of her citizens; to the wis- 1 dom, courage and resourcefulness of those who administer them. This unusual and wdnderful city must realize that fundamentally its po- tential power for devolopment lies in the intelligence of the boys and I girls now in the schools. They are I entitled to educational privileges I equal to the best in America. To 1 do more than this would be ex- i travagance; but to do less would pauperize the civilization of the 1 next generation. "One word to the graduates: The 1 one great accomplishment of life is human conduct. Conduct is per- sonality in action. Hence to secure good conduct we seek to establish I good personal character. To young people just beginning their life 1 work efficiency is the quality that counts. Efficiency is conditioned upon knowledge and character. But 1 knowledge must be supplemented § by skill and physical fitness. To , these must be added the social yir- j tues such as politeness, punctual- I ity, self-control, and industry, as well as obedience and loyalty. But I 1 the crowning quality of the great personality is the passion for righteousness that surges through 1 all the channels of his being, that quickens his sympathies, summons , his powers and quickens his spirit. I It i the surest guarantee of ef- 1 fieieht ervice." PROGRAM, i The program follows: : War March of Priests, from j Athalia Mendelssohn O. H. S.

J. E. Carver The baccalaureate exercises of the Ogden High school were held ;; last evening in First Presbyterian § church at 7:30 o'clock. The auditorium was decorated with lilacs I and lilies with fruit blossoms. Th"l I entire center section of the pews I was reserved for the members of I the class and their parents. The! west front was held for the mem-j I bers of the male chorus and glee club The high school orchestral occupied the front east section.! Friends and relatives of the graduates occupied the remaining seats! and the chairs that had been I placed in every available space.I Many also stood throughout thcl I entire service. The baccalaureate address bvl the Rev. John Edward Carver, was based on the oration of Moses I and the illustration he used re- a garding the eagle teaching herl 1 young to fly. The method of thai I eagle as depicted by the speakerl J was to thrust the eaglet out jfl p the nest and when it was falling! to sweep under it and bear it upl on her wings. So necessity thrusts I 1 the youth of today into The con-1 1 flict and contests of tomorrow.
