4-30-26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES There is a destiny that makes us brothers; None goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own. I care not what his temples or his creeds, One thing holds firm and fast— That into his fateful heap of days and deeds The soul of man is cast. —Edwin Markham. POSTER EXHIBIT In the art room at the high school there is now being held a fine poster exhibition. All the prize-taking posters of the high schools of the state for the year 1925 are displayed. The con¬test was conducted by the Uni¬versity of Utah and the collection is loaned the various high schools for the encouragement of art. The exhibit will remain until Tuesday night. THANKS, MR. SORG The high school is especially in¬debted to Emmett Sorg, manager of the Paramount, for the use of the theatre Wednesday night. Mr. Sorg showed his faith in the school by making such terms as made it possible to present the opera in that commodious theatre. His kindness and faith are appre¬ciated and we believe that the success of the entertainment was sufficient to warrant the courte¬sies shown. Ogden High is one of Ogden's big assets, and the activities of the school should re¬ceive the loyal support of all Og¬den people. ARTISTIC, BEAUTIFUL Every one who attended "The Hermit of Hawaii" is profuse in congratulation and commendation of that artistic production. The opera has a most interesting plot and under Professor Robinson's masterly skill the beauty of the songs, the setting, the atmosphere were brought out in a wonderful manner. Truly it was one of the finest productions the school has ever offered the public, and it is most gratifying to have been so splendidly patronized. This per¬formance should serve as a guar¬antee of future productions of the school of this sort and a warranty of generous patronage. AN INJUSTICE Ogden lost the Lewis oratorical contest by two points. We have always advocated good sportsman¬ship in all contests, but an ele¬ment of gross injustice, we think, entered the decision of this con¬test in that the judges ruled against Miss Jean Warner's ad¬dress on the ground that "it was not original." They said it was too well organized, too good to be a high school girl's own work. Of course, the judges do not know Jean, and perhaps we shall have to forgive them and instead of receiving the prize accept the very high compliment that is unwit¬tingly offered in the criticism. To all the world we'll say, however, that Ogden is above plagarism, and above accepting unwarranted help from instructors or any one else in the preparation and presentation of speeches, or essays, or debates. Miss Warner's address was the nroduct of her own fine mind. "RAZZING" GOOD Mr. Lammers, they say, "razzes" the boys in the band; that Mr. Robinson "razzed" the students in the opera; that Captain Dockler "razzes" the boys in the R. O. T. C.; that Principal Merrill and the teachers "razz" students con¬siderably and quite frequently; but they all get results. Criticism that results in fine workmanship is probably justified, especially if it cannot be otherwise obtained. If students can only feel, and we believe they do generally, that "razzing" comes from honest hearts and is directed by best in¬tentions in the world, they will learn to take it in good part and will profit by it. FINE ORCHESTRA A pleasing feature of the opera was the playing of the school or¬chestra. Many were surprised that the school had an orchestra of such merit. The students are to be highly commended for their fine work. HUMOR CATCHERS On the front row at the opera I sat a bunch of boys who caught every bit of the humor the per¬formance offered and then some.- Their hearty laughs reverberated through the hall to the amusement of some and the annoyance of others, especially annoying those far back in the hall who were prevented thereby from hearing the dialog. Appropriately enough the management arranged seats for the group in the back of the auditorium during the second act. SPECIAL ASSEMBLY A special assembly will be called on Wednesday, next, at 10:15 o'clock to hear an address by Dr. Wanless of the Utah Agricul¬tural college and to enjoy some musical numbers furnished by that institution. It being Boys' week, it is not unlikely that a second assembly will be called some day during the week. OFFICERS' BANQUET Tonight at 7 o'clock the R. O. T. C. officers and ladies will hold their annual banquet at the Weber club. Captain Dockler, Principal Merrill, Superintendent Hopkins and the members of the board of education and their wives will be guests of the evening. After the banquet the party will adjourn to the Knights of Pythias hall for a social hour or two. GRADUATE LIST The committee on graduation has finally completed its labors, and the list of graduates will be published soon. There will not be so many graduates as was antici¬pated. The total number will be little if any larger than last year's. DISTRICT DEBATE Ogden, Morgan and Logan de¬bating teams will lock horns at the high school on Tuesday af¬ternoon, next, at 3:30 o'clock to determine which teams shall rep¬resent northern Utah in the state debating contest to be held at the University of Utah on May 14. GOOD ROADS ESSAYS To High School Principals: The committee in charge of High School day contests at the University of Utah makes the fol¬lowing special announcement, with reference to the good roads essay contest: The three best essays from school must be fice of the extension division, University of Utah, on or before 10 a. m. Friday, May 14. This change in the announcement sent out April 26 has become necessary because of the unexpected number of entries in this contest. Obviously, the committee at the university will not be able to announce the winner of the good roads contest on High School day, but will do so as son as possible. Yours very truly, J. M. ADAMSON In Charge of High School Day..
