enjoy a thrilling game. Victory means nothing to us, and defeat means nothing to Salt Lake, especially as they did not play all of their regular men. We played our best and so did the Saints. We did some wonderful guarding and passing, though our basket shooting was not quite up to standard. We won and of course we're rtther happy about it, but our chief satisfaction is in having given Ogden people such a treat and incidentally getting the money to finance the trip. CONTRIBUTION During the intermission President James E. Moss was introduced to the spectators. He made a short speech, complimenting the Ogden team, and presented the compliments of the U. H. S. A. in the form of a $250 check. This consideration of the association is very much appreciated by the school and by Ogden. OVER UNION PACIFIC It was decided late Monday evening that the team would go to Chicago over the Union Pacific and connecting lines, leaving Ogden next Friday afternoon and arriving in Chicago on Sunday morning. The boys would very much like to have arranged to go over the D. & R. G. with the Saints, but several considerations made it advisable to select the U. P. lines. GIRLS' MEETING The girls will meet in a special assembly tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock. Mrs. Lydia H. Tanner of Weber college will deliver an address, and business matters pertaining to the Girls' association will be taken up. RECEIVES MEDAL Mrs. Edith Kohler received Monday a beautiful pearl award medal from the Underwood company as an expert teacher in typewriting. 3-24- OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Prayer for worldly goods is worse than fruitless, but prayer for strength of soul is that passion of the soul which catches the gift it seeks.—George Meredith. AUTO PARKING. A traffic officer was at the high school Tuesday and tagged about a dozen automobiles parked diagonally to the curb on Monroe avenue. Every owner was asked to report at police station for improper parking. The regulation requires parallel to curb parking— a regulation concerning which students were ignorant. But "ignorance of the law," they say, "excuses no one." Yes, sir, Mr. Traffic Cop, we'll park parallel after this. KEEN COMPETITION. The railroads are evidently in keen competition for at least a dozen railroad men have been on Coach Kapple's heels the past three days, asking that his team go over their respective lines—either that or the team is very popular—would do honor to any line by traveling over it. Anyway, they were all fine men and the coach says it was a real pleasure to meet them. CONCERT TONIGHT. The band concert to be given in the high school tonight will indicate in a measure Ogden's appreciation of the work the boys are doing and will probably decide whether the boys will represent the west in the Gary contest. Believing, as we do, that we have one of the finest musical organizations of any school in the country, we are naturally very anxious that the boys should go to Gary. For that reason we sincerely hope the house will be packed tonight. A few have suggested that the admission is high, but all must realize that it will take considerable money to make the trip and that a very easy way to help is to purchase a ticket or two. The concert begins at 8 o'clock in the school auditorium. May we not see you all there? HELP OFFERED. Les Hinchcliff of Weber college has proffered the services of his music department to furnish funds for the band to go to Chicago. The Girls' association of the high school are offering the proceeds of a girls' basketball game to help the fund. Garfield is offering the proceeds of a concert to assist, and a number of Brigham City people have expressed a desire to have the band give a concert at Brigham City. We are open to offers from other clubs, organizations. Let heaven and earth be moved, if necessary, to send the band to Gary. TICKET SELLING. The high school is departing this year, to a degree, from a definite policy of avoiding "ticket selling solicitation." We have always felt that entertainments should be well advertised and that people attend such from volition rather than persistent urging. We know that people do get tired of being solicited and solicited and solicited to buy tickets to this and that and the other thing and perhaps we have made a mistake this year in departing from our usual custom. Who knows? Yet one cannot have a successful entertainment without sufficient patronage and some "stay-at-homes" never get out unless urged a bit. It's really a big question. Our suggestion is that everybody make a fixed habit of patronizing all high school functions. Take that game Monday night for instance. Everyone who attended will admit that it was worth twice the admission price. The same is true of the Classicalia. It will assuredly be true of the band concert tonight. If you attend you'll probably say in the morning, "I wouldn't have missed it for five dollars." HIGH SCHOOL JUDGE. Miss Reva Beck, instructor in oral expression, acted as judge at Weber college in the debate held Tuesday between that school and Ricks college. In the afternoon Miss Beck served as judge in the "tryouts" for parts in the school play, "Penrod," at North Junior. NEVER TOO CERTAIN. Those who have attended court trials know how frequently one is found inaccurate in observation. An automobile accident has occurred, and the several witnesses are very sure this happened, others that happened—they're contradictory and all things simply couldn't have happened. At the game the other night several students sold tickets in front of the gymnasium. One individual bought a ticket, giving a five dollar bill in payment. Report was made that the seller then ran into the gymnasium to get the change and never returned. The purchaser appeared at high school Tuesday and positively (?) identified the student. The student denied ever having seen the individual or having sold a ticket to him. The situation was perplexing. Finally, it was discovered that a student from another school had made the ticket sale, and had mistaken the five dollar bill for a one dollar bill and was sorely distressed that he had unwittingly cheated somebody. He gave the money to the teacher, who made report to the high school. The boy was then taken to the purchaser of the ticket, and identified him at once, thus removing the stigma from a student and clearing up satisfactorily a very perplexing and embarrassing situation. The moral of course is obvious: "We are all prone to make mistakes and we must be extremely careful in making positive statements. THE R. O. T. C. There's a bunch ' of young fellows in O. D. today That we hail as the hope of the land. They are trained every day, they are taught to obey, And in that way they learn to command. Respectful in bearing and civil in speech, They're the youngsters that look good to me. It gives me a thrill just to see them at drill— The boys of the R. O. T. C. They are not being prussianized— perish the thought! There are people who don't understand. Whoever opposes their training today Strikes a blow at the life of the land The clean-cut American boosts them along; There are benefits he can foresee It's the anarchist freak and the pacifist weak That would strangle the R. O. T. C. You can see the result in the manly physique; In the glance of the clear, steady eye; The soldierly tread; the poise of the head; The bearing that money can't buy. They learn that true discipline builds up their lives; That without it no people are free. They'll be heard from again when they get to be men— Those boys of the R. O. T. C. Oh there's many a lesson not found in the books, Though you search every book on the shelves. And the boys who will master the game we call life Are the boys who can master themselves. And to drill in the ranks is to learn self-control, Decision and patience—these three. So we say it again: They are building real men In the ranks of the R. O. T. C. —Anonymous. BUSINESS MEN TO HRLP BAND Mar 25 Fred Nye and Richard Leek Each Agree to Send One Student Ogden High school's crack R. O. T. C. band gave an interesting concert before a large gathering of Ogden citizens in the school auditorium last night. Funds derived from the concert will be used in defraying the expenses of the organization to the national contest at Gary, Indiana, May 14 and 15. Men and women of all walks of life in attendance at the concert praised the organization and a number pledged support to the movement, Principal A. M. Merrill says. "A number of prominent Ogden business men have offered to finance the trip of individual members of the band," said Principal Merrill today. "This method undoubtedly will solve the problem for us. SUCCESS LOOMS "It is planned by many of the leading men of the city to carry out this program in the hope of sending the youths. A business man under this system would finance the trip for a single member of the band. "From reports at the high school we feel sure that this policy will be carried out and result in our sending this splendid organization. I am confident that success is in store for Mr. Lammers and his fine band." High school officials today said that a complete check on tickets sold for the concert would not be made until Saturday. Many tickets are out and a final check will be recorded at that time. Under the capable leadership of Hyrum Lammers the band played the following numbers, meeting with instant favor: Salute to Burlington—March. Sherman William Tell—Overture Rosini Trombone solo, Sleepy Time Gal. Wilford Yeaman. Prince of Pilsen, selection Luders Always, popular Songs of the Old Folks Lake Intermission. Rosamunde—Overture Shubert On the Square—March Pannelli L'Arlesienne Prelude Bizet The Death of Custer Johnson SYNOPSIS 1. Siouxndian war dance— Night Before the Battle. 2. Bugle calls in Custer's camp before forming the line of march. 3. Custer's cavalry on march to Sioux's camp, the round of horses' hoofs in the distance. 4. Approach of cavalry with band playing "National Airs"; the Indians responding with their customary war music. 5. Battle of "Little Big Horn," June 25, 1876, in which our great general lost his life. 6. Indians rejoicing over the victory with scalp dance. 7. Arrival of reinforcements, General Bentine and cavalry. 8. Custer's burial, volley of shots, muffled drums, and bugle sounding the last call over our great general's grave. Finale—"Nearer My God to Thee". The Stars and Stripes Forever. Sousa TWO VOLUNTEERS At the close of the concert Fred. M. Nye agreed to defray the expenses of one member of the band. The Standard-Examiner today received the following letter from Richard Leek, who is also anxious to do his part in sending the band east: Listening last evening to Hy Lammers' high school band gave me the reason why Mr. F. M. Nye offered to pay the expenses of one of the boys to go to Gary. Our high school boys four years ago won the rifle competition against the high school boys of the United States, and succeeded in dong what no other school has done, winning the trophy twice in succession. Our basketball boys from the same school are going east to give a good account of themselves. All this goes to show the class of boys we have in Ogden. Now let's tell all the world through Hy Lammers and his high school band where Ogden is, and let us raise the money quickly, so that these boys can finish their practicing in a light hearted manner which will help them so much. I am ready with the Ashton Fire Brick & Tile Co., to pay the expenses of another band boy to Gary. Let's go! RICHARD LEEK, Manager Ashton Fire Brick & Tile Co.
