OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES April 26 -26 Life? And worth living? Yes, with each part of us— Hurt of us, help of us, hope of us, heart of us, Life is worth living, Oh! With the whole of us, Will of us, brain of us, senses and soul cf us. Ia life worth living? Aye with the best of us, Heights of us, depths of us— Life is the test of us! —Corinne Roosevelt Robinson. HONOR STUDENTS If the new division of honor students is made in accordance with the recommendation of the graduating committee, the 1926 class, according to report, will have 136 honor students distrib¬uted as follows: Summa Cum Laude 8, Magna Cum Laude 57, Cum Laude 71. Such a division appears to be very advisable to the graduating committee. JEAN SAYS That if everybody doesn't get his picture in the year book in the proper space, and everywhere it belongs that is his own fault, be¬cause as editor of the paper she has lived up to the name and has been a real "Warner," warn¬ing students for days, weeks and months to get pictures in and to say where they wanted them placed. HAND PAINTED The junior prom program was hand-painted and probably the most artistic ever. It appeared to be a one-piece program, but examination showed it to be a four-page form with its outer edges glued together. At the top of the first page which was painted with flowers was the in¬scription, "Ye Olde Junior Prom" out of the center of this front page was cut an arched door which, when turned back, dis-closed the second and third pages, on which was printed appropriate lines for each of the 18 dances in the program. On the back page appeared the names of the patrons and patronesses, prom committee, class-officers and class advisors. NOT RESERVED Seats will not be reserved for the opera at Paramount theatre Wednesday evening. There will be room for everybody and any seat in the house will be very ac¬ceptable for this fine perform¬ance. Tickets may be secured at the school or at the theatre now. INSPECTION FRIDAY The annual R. O. T. C. inspec¬tion will take place on Friday, this week. Col. H. L. Jordan, in charge of R. O. T. C. work in the Ninth corps area, will be here again to make the inspec¬tion. ONE'S NEEDS A recent book on news writ¬ing, says that one who intends to take up journalism as a career should be sure that he has the following qualities, accuracy, initiative, energy, tact, ambition, care¬fulness, loyalty. We agree, but why not admit that these are the prerequisites for success in any vocation or profession? SHOULD BE INCULCATED As education is not simply a matter of information but rather an attitude of ind with a power to do, teachers would do well, it seems to us, to forget occasion¬ally that they are teaching Eng¬lish, history, science, etc., and endeavor to inculcate through practice the habits of being ac¬curate, energetic, tactful, ambi¬tious, painstaking, loyal, and de¬pendable. Some present-day teachers are doint this. C. H. Ward, for in¬stance. in one of his recent Eng¬lish books begins with stressing accuracy and persists throughout' the book in emphasizing the virture of being accurate and care¬ful. He writes more than one theme upon the dictum, "The only excusable fault is careless¬ness." AN OBSERVATION That pupils are not in the habit of being energetic and alert is one of the most common observa¬tions. A group of 19 was given an exercise the other day and only one of the entire group tackled the work with vim and energy. More than 50 per cent showed utter inability to meet the situation adequately. This ex¬plains why only one person in a hundred succeeds. It is because the ninety and nine are mentally, physically indifferent. To use Washington Irving's famous fig¬ure, they have "an insuperable aversion to all sorts of profitable labor." "THE OPERA" The high school guarantees "The Hermit of Hawaii." All who attend this performance will be satisfied with the expenditure of the time and money costs. A very happy, delightful, enjoyable evening for 50 cents is a bargain. "Money back if not satisfied," is our guarantee on "The Hermit of Hawaii." ANOTHER CONTEST Now comes the national poul¬try council of America with an essay contest on the subject, "Eggs." The essay is to be writ¬ten by a high school student and is to be limited to not more than three hundred words. The Utah state prizes are to be $15 for first, $10 for second and $5 for third best essay. The essays are to be written before May 1 and mailed to Clyde C. Edmonds, Box 2014, Salt Lake. The economic aspects of the subject, the food value of the egg, the ingredients, etc., are to be treated in the es¬say. So, students, get busy. "EGG DAY" been designated as National Egg day. We submit the following in¬structions: On Egg day think eggs, talk eggs, eat eggs, but do not throw eggs unless they are spoiled. FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY Sometimes we have a real as¬sembly. That of Friday was such a one. Little Ally Lou Peck sang a couple of songs for us most sweetly. (Ally is some six or seven years old.) Our high school male quartet sang two songs most acceptably advertising the junior prom. Don Corey, representing the "Spirit of the Prom," gave us a side-splitting (the audi¬ence's) fairy dance. Wade Steph¬ens played two delightful numbers on our new Steinway grand pi¬ano. The serious part of the program consisted of three well prepared addresses forcibly delivered by Henry Dawson, George Nasfell and Tom Broadbent, student body presidents of Lewis, North and Central Junior schools. The audi¬ence was attentive and appreci¬ative, showing that the program was very acceptable. THE PROM A few people comprising the junior advisors, the junior class officers and committees, gave us the junior "prom" on Friday night, last—the most beautiful and enjoyable party of the year. The decorations were exquisite; the dancing by Mrs. Reed's midgets was charming; the grand march was unique; the girls were all beautiful; the boys handsome and well behaved; the music, as usual, deliciously enchanting; the punch was very drinkable; the mints eliminated (apparently) halitosis, and so, in the words of Miss Bow¬man, "everything was just grand," and the function will remain in the minds of a thousand youths as one of the most pleasant memories of the year. PAIRING The juniors were hosts to the seniors on Friday evening, last, a- d as such aey took the liberty of pairing their guests—boys and girls—according to their own whims. Each boy was given a written invitation with the name of the girl he was to escort. The plan worked admirably. So far as we are advised, all were good sports and did their full duty as guests, and each helped every other to have a good time. Some parents who were present, im¬pressed by the thought that high school days is hot time to have "fellows," "girls, "sweethearts," "steadies." suggested that the plan is one that could well be fol¬lowed in all school social activi¬ties.
