that he should be remembered and we recommend as good reading for today, the story of his life as given in a current magazine, “The National Republic,” August number. Sept 23 - 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES A few parents have called at the high school to assist in getting their sons and daughters properly registered and started. This is a very wise thing for parents to do. VERY IMPORTANT The selection of a proper vocation is one of the biggest tasks of life. The young man or woman who knows what he or she wants to do in life can begin planning for it and can select subjects in preparation for the work. safety first Supt. W. K. Hopkins and a number of the city school principals met with the city commissioners Wednesday and counseled together with reference to the proper care and protection of Ogden's young people. One of the subjects of grave concern considered was that of protection from automobile traffic near school buildings. When one considers that over 9000 children go to school every morning, return home at noon for lunch and then home again at night—crossing streets at least four times a day— usually in three or more dangerous places—it is readily seen that the daily risk is tremendous, and safety fules are almost imperative. Superintendent Hopkins reported that many parents refuse to send children to schools where the hazard of crossing streets of heavy traffic is encountered. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION The first social event of the Girls' association of this year is well on' its way. Meetings are being held, committees are being appointed and the senior girls are putting over this "get acquainted costume party with great enthusiasm. We're planning to have the Weber gymnasium for this occasion. Watch the High School Notes daily because you'll hear more from us—pronto! —Dorothy Coop, President. NEW SYSTEM FOR G. A. Heretofore the Girls' association has not had a systematic method of taking care of their many activities. This year a meeting was called for the officers of the association, and they decided to have the girls elect a secretary in every advisory class. It will be the duty of this secretary to take care of all business connected with the association, and inform the girls of her class. Also she is to assist the officers at any time. We hope this method, will prove its own efficiency and become permanent. We all know of the splendid work that the Girls' association accomplished last year, and we feel certain that with the help and effort of all the girls, we can keep up that standard, and leave a record to be referred to as "the best" in the history of the Ogden Hight school. —Vellys Woods, Vice President. EATING HABITS Eating with a knife ceased to be respectable long, long ago. One who would persist today in such an obnoxious practice as eating from a knife would be ostracised from society and rated as an ignoramus—a boor. But how often respectable people still offend with vulgar speech. "I seen," "he don't, "I have saw," "she ain't," etc., ad infinitum. The day will come, and we hope shortly, that it will he quite as offensive to society to use bad English, as it is to eat with a knife. ELIMINATE THE NOISE "Think hard and keep your voice low," is to be one of the high school's slogans this year. Loud talk and laughter, whistling and rude conduct, especially in hallways and assemblies, are to be eliminated, if the teachers' admonitions in this respect are accepted. SERVICE BOOK George Bergstrom of the auto mechanics department is the proud possessor of an automobile service book that gives detail drawings and descriptions of construction of every known make of automobile. He considers it the best book of its kind ever published and is very proud of it. By the way, if you wish to know how many different makes of automobiles there are you can find out by borrowing the book for a week and counting them. Mr. Bergstrom says he hasn't time to count them. REGULAR ATTENDANCE "The best week's attendance I have ever had at Ogden High school," said one of the older teachers last Friday. "No absences today" it written on a goodly number of teachers' daily absence reports these days as they are handed in at the office at night. This is as, it should be. Nothing counts more for good school work than regular and prompt attendance and it is hoped that the splendid record of the first eight days will be maintained throughout the year. MISAPPREHENSION Misguided youth and ignorant age have equally false notions about freedom when they interpret it to mean to do just exactly as one pleases, irrespective of others. The big lesson of the ages is that man is his brother's keeper, and that he who would live a law to himself alone must isolate himself to live in a lone and loveless world. Living with others implies necessarily giving and taking, helping, loving and serving. Freedom to serve in return for service rendered is the only true freedom. Freedom to return kindness for kindness, help for help, love for love, is the freedom upon which civilization is builded. THERE IS A WAY Newspapers report that a certain gentleman who owned several suburban moving picture houses, had endless trouble with disorderly boys cat-calling, roistering and making disturbance generally to the great annoyance of his patrons. As a last resort to quell the disorder he selected the two worst boys from eight neighborhoods to act as monitors. He gave them season passes to his theatre with a badge of authority. They were to keep order and call an usher to put out the offenders. The annoyance ceased. The patrons now enjoy the shows. CONTENTMENT When firelight dances with the shadows I love to sit in this big arm-chair With my pipe between my teeth, And the fragrant smoke Playing fog around my head, And listen to the rain And the passing cars. Then tiptoe come those silly dreams Of golden hair in the sunlight, And dark eyes in the moonlight, Pine trees and the wind, Cypress and sea, And hills that make the world look small, And last—and best—of all— You! queen of my heart Helen of Troy lived in a palace; Cool, white pillars shone in the sun; Dreamy, silver fountains played with the wind; The excited trees fluttered, They gay birds chatted When she passed by. Wild youngsters laughed When she was queen. But I couldn't smile; Those bright eyes didn't see me; Those red lips didn't smile For me. Helen of Troy is gone away; Cool, white pillars are broken; Dreamy silver fountains are sober and quiet; And I roam alone, Under the leafless, birdless trees. The silence holds me captive, And, forgetting her cruel tyranny I wish for the old, sweet days When Helen was queen of my heart. --Robert True. SCHOOLS FIGHT CIGARET HABIT Sept 23 - 26 Aid of City Board Asked; Would Stop Traffic at Schools City school authorities have asked the city commissioners to co-operate with them in a movement to lessen the smoking of cigarets by students of Ogden schools by enforcing the ordinance which prohibits the sale of cigarets to minors and in any other way in which the city officials can aid. W. Karl Hopkins, superintendent of city schools: A. M. Merrill, principal of the Ogden High school; W. L. Underwood, principal of the Madison school, and D. H. Adams, principal of the Central Junior High school, appeared before Mayor Browning and the commission and made the request. It was stated by the school authorities that in cases where students are known to be using cigarets, communications have been sent to their parents, urging that they convince the boys that it is a bad habit. With rigid enforcement of the law prohibiting the sale of cigarets to minors, and with the school authorities bringing the attention of the parents to the students who are smoking, it is believed that much can be accomplished. The school delegation also made a request of the commission that traffic regulations be placed in effect which would demand that all automobiles come to a full stop before passing school buildings in the city. The commission referred this request to Mayor Browning, as commissioner of public safety, with power to act. The commission granted the football team of the high school permission to use Lester park as a place for practice. Sept 24 - 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The assembly program held at 11:15 o'clock today was as follows: Selections by the band: readings, Miss Thatcher of the Moroni Olson players; address, the Rev. J. E. Carver; band selections. ART EXHIBIT. Mr. Stewart is arranging an art exhibit of the pictures of Mr. Hansen Prithoff, a famous artist of Los Angeles, to be held early this fall. CAFETERIA SERVICE. The patronage of the school cafeteria is growing day by day. Those who eat there report that the food is wholesome, good and inexpensive, Patrons of the school are respectfully invited to drop in any noon hour and sample our wares. HOW TO STUDY. One project the high school has before it this year is that of helping students to learn how to study how to concentrate. To that end recitation periods in academic subjects have been lengthened somewhat in afternoon classes to provide opportunity to study under teacher supervision. Already favor able reports have been received and teachers say that advancement is more rapid in the school study period subjects, than it is in the home study periods. In the first place the students study— i. e., the time is actually employed, whereas very frequently home study is neglected or ignored. In the second place, the teacher helps the student to apply correct principles in study preparation. The teacher-supervisor plan is now in vogue in many of the best high school, and is receiving indorsement of school people and patrons. WILL MEET AT O. H. S. The Girls’ Scout directorate will holds its monthly meeting on the second Monday of each month in room 202 at the high school here after. The Federated clubs of Ogden have met here the first Monday of each month for some time past. We welcome both of the organizations to the high school and have pleasure in extending them such courtesies as we are able. BUSINESS APHORISMS There isn’t such a thing in this world unless you’re a tramp, and then there’s the constable. Remember, that when you’re in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and that when you’re in the wrong you can’t afford to lose it. There are two unpardonable sins in this world--success and failure. Those who succeed can forgive a fellow for being a failure, and those who fail can’t forgive him for being a success. R. O. T. C. ENROLLMENT. The enrollment in R. O. T. C. approximately: Central Junior, 80; South Washington, 62; North Washington, 7 Lewis, 42; high school, 186; bar 56; total, 496. CLASSICUM FILES Winnifred McConnell, editor of the Classicum, and Vernal Johnson, editor of the Year Book, have set themselves the very interesting task of securing a complete of these two publications for the Classicum office. Being provided for the first time with cupboard, shelf room, and other conveniences, the editors have decided that we should have on hand a complete file of the school’s publications. Anyone having any back numbers would confer a favor upon the school contributing them. MISSING NUMBERS Two years ago when Mrs. Martie H. Hessler left the school she left a number of year books, and several special editions of the Classicum. The following Year Books are missing: 1902, 1903, 1904, 1907, 1912, 1916, 1917, 1918. INTERSTING EDITIONS. Among the interesting issues in the Classicum we have for instance: January, February, Easter and Christmas issues of 1902; November and Christmas numbers, 1903; October. Thanksgiving and Christmas, 1904; February, April, November and Christmas, 1905; Easter, 1906; Thanksgiving and Christmas, 1908; Christmas, 1910; April, Thanksgiving and Christmas, 1914. A few interesting numbers after that date. Doubtless there will be little trouble in getting a complete file since 1914. AUTUMN CELEBRATED Jack Armstrong, high school engineer, celebrated the first day of Autumn by starting up the furnace. The heat felt pretty good Thursday morning as the air had grown quite chilly, especially in the basement rooms. THE SADDEST HEART. Perhaps the saddest heart in America today is that of Jack Dempsey. To have held a world’s championship for seven years is no small honor and to have it snatched away and made second best could not but deeply affect the great pugilist. But it’s the way of life. Nature is everywhere changing and no one can hope to have first place indefinitely. Every school boy in America is talking today about how Jack Dempsey got “licked.” It’s lots more interesting than arithmetic or geography. VITALIZING INSTRUCTION. Principal Joseph B. Driggs of the Hamilton school, Salt Lake, gave an interesting illustrated talk on the subject of vitalizing geography and history teaching-through affiliation with the Junior Red Cross and engaging in international correspondence before the city principals and supervisors Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Driggs has attained considerable of a reputation in the Hamilton school through his success in this sort of work. He was accompained by Mrs. J. T. Rushmer, who is associated with the local Red Cross and is much interested in this line of work. Aside from giving newness, freshness, vitality to instruction, Mr. Driggs pointed out that such work is sure to make an immense contribution to the art of international peace and good-will. HISTORY IN STONE. On the pavement in front of the high school building is written the late chronicles of the Ogden High, school: 1924—250; 1925—312; 1926—352, i. e., the year and the number of graduates. Wonder what about the classes before 1924. MIND RESPONSIBILITY. "A first-class mind has a sense of responsibility in handing its new theories; it puts them through all sorts of tests to prove both their logical soundness and their practical utility. The practical fruits of the intellectual virtues are obvious; humility makes for open-mindedness; curiosity makes for careful analysis; courage makes for creativeness in blazing new trails. Responsibility makes for reliability in action."—Glenn Frank. THE ANSWER. At last an answer is found to Lowell's classic question—"What is so rare as a day in June." The answer is, "A September day in Utah.' now "if ever come perfect days. Heaven tries earth if it be "in tune" and it is. BUZZERS. Mr. Child and his electrical construction class are now working on the interesting project of getting "buzzer connections" between the office and Dean Irwin's 'room, also between the office and Captain Dockler's room for extension telephone service. EXCELLENT MEMORY "Did your aunt remember you when she made her will?" "I expect so; she left me out."—Answers, London.
