SPLITTING AWARDS. In the event that either the Emerson High school band or the Froebel High school band of Gary wins first honors, the $1000 cash prize will be awarded to the band receiving second honors, the $500 to the band receiving third honors and the $250 to the band finishing fourth. The trophy and the gold medals, however, would be awarded to the Gary band and individual members of the band winning first honors. The same rule will apply in case the Gary bands win second or third honors. Each school will be required to furnish its own transportation to and from Gary. Ample provision will be made to entertain and house free of expense all bands from a distance greater than 50 miles from Gary, it is announced. It is suggested that the Ogden High school band book engagements on the route east, in case the school authorities grant permission for the trip. DENVER CONTEST. An invitation was also received Saturday from Rei Christopher, a former Sousa band man, now conductor of the Colorado Springs and Pueblo High school bands, urging the Ogden R. O. T. C. band to enter a competition for the intermountain states to be held at Denver early in May. BAND TO PLAY FOR RELIEF OF BINGHAM FOLK Entire Proceeds Tomorrow to Go Into Relief Fund The Ogden High school band. Hyrum Lammers director, today volunteered its services to the Ogden committee of the Bingham Relief fund, and the proffer was accepted by the committee, headed by Marriner S. Eccles. The band will play a concert at the Orpheum theatre, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, commencing at 2:15 o'clock. The Orpheum theatre is giving the use of its theatre without cost to the committee. Thus the entire proceeds from admissions to the concert will go into the Ogden relief fund treasury for the relief of the sufferers from the Bingham slide. Ogden's quota is $7000. The band last week gave a free concert at the Tabernacle, turning away hundreds. That concert demonstrated the band's ability to provide high class band music, so tomorrow's concert will be worth anybody's time, money and attention, besides offering a fine opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause. The price of admission will be OGDEN HIGH WASHINGTON. The longer on this earth we live And weigh the various qualities of men, Seeing how most are fugitive, Or fitful gifts, at best, of now and then, Wind-wavered corpse-lights daughters of the fen, The more we feel the high stern-featured beauty Of plain devotion to duty, Steadfast and still, nor paid with mortal praise, But finding amplest recompense For life's ungarlanded expense In work done squarely and unwasted days For this we honor him, that he could know How sweet the service and how free Of her, God's eldest daughter here below, And choose in meanest raiment which was she. —James Russell Lowell. HOLIDAY MONDAY Washington's birthday will be commemorated by a full holiday on Monday students are advised to make note of this and to please not report at school. OGDEN'S SOUSA. A prominent man of Ogden called the high school Thursday and made the following comment on our band concert: "My wife induced me to go to the band concert last night much against my will. I told her I had heard Sousa too often to want to waste any time on amateur bands. I have heard Sousa scores of times ana have paid more than a hundred dollars for the privilege. But after listening to that band last night, I'll spend no more to hear Sousa. Of course I'm not saying this band is better than Sousa's, but it is a very near approach and it is Ogden's. When Ogden can offer a band like that, I want to say that I'm ready and willing to give a dollar anytime to hear it, and am sure there are hundred of other Ogden people would do the same thing if they only knew it. They're as I was— skeptical—they will not believe the high school has such a wonderful band. It's up to the high school to let every person in Ogden hear that band. Why that Lammer? is a wonder—he's very much like Sousa. He is a second Sousa. CLASSICALIA QUEEN Students are centering their thoughts during odd moments on the subject of the Classicalia queen. There are scads of girls at the high school who would make good queens, but as there is to be but one elected, it is necessary to eliminate and concentrate. It is probable that by the time the election is called that the contest will be limited I to two or three candidates. Before the election some plans will be offered to make the contest peppy and interesting;—yet void of undesirable features—painting walls, sidewalks, etc. Cheap advertising in the past has always proved unfavorable to the candid date. It is well for students to be advised of the fact in advance. Another thing, the committee has definitely decided that no opportunity shall be given anyone to purchase votes with money, or to use money in any way in connection with the election. A DEMAND. Literally hundreds of people were turned away from the tabernacle Thursday night and consequently failed to hear the R. O. T. C. band. Many of these are demanding a second concert, so their desires to hear this band may be gratified. Cap Dockler and Conductor Lammers are planning to repeat the concert or to give a new one in the very near future. The least we can do now is to let everybody hear it. Those who have heard it once, want to hear it again. TO ENTER UNIVERSITY. Miss Alice Pack, '24, writing from Seattle, Wash., says: "I find that I shall be able to enter the University of Washington here for the spring quarter. I am so glad that it is possible for me to go." Miss Pack was a Magna Cum Laude student at high school, so that we feel assured she will make good at college. THE YEAR BOOK. The year book will have for its theme this year, "Pioneer Spirit." Interspersed throughout the book there will be something suggestive of the struggle, the wildness, the vigor and wholesomeness of pioneer days. Another title perhaps would be, "The Spirit That Conquers." At any rate, the idea of having a theme for the publication seems appealing, Art dislikes hedge-podge and as this is to be a work of art there must be no hodge-podge. The book will be published by the A. L. Scoville Press, another evidence that the volume will be one of merit. BEING ONE'S SELF. One of the subjects not in the curriculum but which must be taught in the school is "Being One's Self." Imitation is natural —it comes easy—but is directly opposed to one of life's great virtues, the virtue of individuality." It is proper to admire qualities in others, but it is very improper ordinarily to imitate them—or to try to be like them. An example: Mr. Lammers is a very exceptional band leader. He does his work in his own particular way and succeeds. Any of his students who might take up his work and attempt to imitate his methods would probably fail miserably. Why? Because he would be trying to be like someone else rather than himself. So all through life, one's hopes of success must be built upon the olid foundation of being one's self. By drying beets and extracting the sugar afterwards, a new process that will make possible the running of sugar beet factories all the year has been perfected in j England and is promised to revolutionize the industry. 2-24-26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES SUCH IS LIFE I live and have my being In an atmosphere of strife, I foil, struggle, battle Every moment of my life. I fight my way through crowded halls, And, boy, that's quite a feat; struggle to assemblies And battle for a seat. waste no time when school is out, O'er textbooks I do toil, Into the long dark hours of night I burn that midnight oil. I learn throughout my schoolwork That we must pay the toll. By toiling, struggling, battling, To reach that distant goal. Sometimes it seems impossible But I will never quit, It is an uphill battle But I’ll make the best of it. --LOUIS PASSEY TO PRESENT OPERA The music department of the high school will begin this week the preparation of an opera, “The Hermit of Hawaii,” which will be presented some time in April. ORATORY AT KAYSVILLE Miss Reva Beck is at Kaysville today acting as judge in an oratorical tryout contest. MEDAL WINNER At Friday’s assembly Miss Gertrude Denkers was presented with the Lincoln medal, offered for the best essay on the subject of Abraham Lincoln. Mondell Bennett presented the second best essay and was given honorable mention. MR. MYERS TALKS At Friday's assembly Mr. Myers of the English department, of Weber college made a short address. He gave reasons why high school students should attend Weber college and outlined advantages that Weber college offered them. The college quartet, Messrs. Ellis, Nelson, Stimson and Wakefield, sang several appropriate numbers and Miss Edna Cragun rendered a solo in a very pleasing and artistic manner. Miss Emma Beuhler and Rigby Jacobs put on a darky vaudeville stunt in a very clever manner. Thanks, Weber, we enjoyed your program. BAND CONTESTS Ogden has participated in a state band contest. There is considerable talk now of participating in a regional contest, and if successful in this in a national contest that will take place at Gary, Ind., May 15 and 16. ROUTINE In March American Angelo Patri gives six necessary things that must characterize the student who would make a success of school and of life. He classes these as a set of useful habits that must be set up. The first of these is a daily routine. The day must begin at a regular, definite hour, the meals at a set time, every hour of the day has its definite assignment of work, play, duty—giving a routine that contributes largely to success or, failure. The point, we believe, is well taken, and indeed that entire article is full of wise suggestions and illustrations. We heartily recommend the article to students, teachers and parents. BOX ELDER NEXT We walloped Bear River high on Saturday night as we expected and all students are having their minds fixed on a victory over Box Elder Friday night of this week. A defeat for Box Elder will tie that team with ours, necessitating a play-off game. Winning this will give us first place, and send us to the state tournament —"a consummation devoutly to be wished." To help attain this, a large crowd will go to Brigham City Friday to support the team. A 65-cent rate has been secured over the railroad and a special excursion run to the Peach city Friday evening. NOT ENCOURAGING The Bingham Relief concert was not encouraging, neither from the standpoint of expressing the sympathy of Ogden people for Bingham's sufferers, nor from the standpoint of exhibiting Ogden people's appreciation of the greatest band the city has ever had. The house should have been packed as was the tabernacle on Wednesday night, last. It wasn't. Whether it was the inconvenient hour or the short time advertised we cannot say. At any rate, it was a distinct disappointment to Conductor Lammers, Captain Dockler, Chairman Eccles and all concerned. CUBS' COUNCIL The Washington's birthday issue of Cubs' Council, published by Central junior is off the school's mimeograph press. The paper is unique in that the printing and art work is all done at the school. It carries no advertising and is devoted wholly to school news and school views. An unusual department also is the language department, containing an editorial on George Washington in Spanish, written by Kathryn Blake, and a similar editorial on Lincoln in the French tongue, by Vella Fowler, and a poem in Spanish, Fortuna. Thus the paper is wholly representative of practical education and home industry that is to be much commended. The 16 pages have an artistic border and the departments suitable artistic heading designs, all produced by the art department. HOLIDAY BREAKS How largely we are all given to routine as explained by Mr. Patri is evidenced by the serious breach made in school work by an interrupting holiday. Monday was a holiday and the attendance today is not normal. Many students cannot stand the interruption, Perhaps some are ill today, some overslept, some left town and we shall not be exactly nor-
