Show Monday Feb 18 24 Ogden High School Notes The third issue of the Classicum "will be out on Thursday. The staff advises that it will be the "best yet," Gamma Kappa gave a delightful buffet luncheon dancing social at the school cafeteria on Friday evening. Misses Gean Warner, Ruth Prout and Messrs. Bill Petty, Rulon Doxey and Don Wakefield entertained the club with instrumental music and songs. Supt. W. Karl Honkins leaves Thursday night for Chicago to be in attendance at the annual superintendents' convention. The school masters of" the city with their ladles enjoyed a social dancing party at the Central Junior high school Saturday evening. The T. N. T. orchestra furnished the music. The Rev. L. A. Garrison, the ! Rev. O. C. Wilson, J. P. Corry. H. E. Dalebout and Supt. W. Karl ! Hopkins visited high school on Friday. The basketball team meets the jteanii from the Deaf and Blind i school in a regular league game I Monday, Feb. 25, ! This week, Feb. 17 to 2 3, inclu- I sive, has been set apart as National Song week. In keeping with this arrangement the music department of the high school is giving a concert tomorrow (Tuesday) evening in the school auditorium at 7:30 o'clock. The orchestra, the band and the glee clubs are doing especially fine work this year and these organizations are very desirous that the public shall hear them. Most people think that the chief part of high school work is the imparting and receiving of instruction. We believe this is not true. In our opinion the chief aim of the high school is training in healthful living and helpful habits. This thought is in keeping with one recently expressed by David Starr Jordan: "The truth which another man has won from nature or from life is not our truth until we have lived it. Only that becomes real T or helpiul to any man which has cost the sweat of his brow, the effort of his brain, or the anguish of his soul. He who would be i wise must daily earn his living." j Of all alumni of the high school, perhaps the happiest today (Monday, Feb. 18) are the former queen and king of the Classicalia-Ruth Pingree and Harold Fornoff, class of '21. They are in Los Angeles, but it isn't just being in the "City of the Angels" that makes them so happy. Guess what? Miss Chipman, Mr. Wahlquist and Principal Merrill have been selected by Gamma Kappa to act as judges of the clubs' essay contest. Friday's assembly is voted one of the outstanding assemblies of the year. Thanks, Rev. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Crane and Mr. Wade. Come again. The attendance at high school is not quite up to par due to sickness. Several students are out with colds, tonsilitis, bronchitis, etc., and a few cases of fever. A former instructor of the hiprh school, Sumner Hatch, has an interesting article in the February issue of the U. E. A. on "Angling for Interest." It is an old trick of Mr. Hatch's to be devising new ways and means of interesting students in school work. If Ogden wins Friday night, she will stand first in the division and will go to the state basketball tournament as such. If per adventure she should lose, she would have to toss up with Box Elder to see which plays the Summit division winner. In any case it appears that Ogden and Box Elder will both go to the tournament, it is unthinkable that either would lose to Summit. Chicago is patterning after Ogden in making an effort to Inter- est the people in her public schools. The chamuer of commerce of that city reecntly published a high school edition of the weekly bulletin with this for a slogan: My school, my job, my Chicago. Another eastern city patterning after Ogden is Ann Arbor, Mich The high school parent-teachers of that burg recently published a few of our well established slogans, such as: The high school stuidents need eight hours sleep. Every home should provide a quiet room for home study. Every student should study at least two hours on every school night. Parents should limit the number of organizations to which their children may oelong. The work of these organizations should be on Friday or Saturday nights, so as not to interfere with home study. Feb 19 - 24 Ogden High School Notes Instead of the usual notes today we are presenting to our readers a brief account of the work being done In our art department, and giving special mention of a few of the students who are winning recognition in various lines of art. It goes without saying that we feel that our art department is unsurpassed and we invite tne public to come in and visit It. The work in art at the Ogden High school is grouped into a number of definite subjects. In the first place there is what is known as Art A-which consists of a study of art appreciation and the fundamentals found in all art study. Students are given exercises to develop their tastes, understanding of drawing, light and shade, design, color and their application in the arts. Study is mde or examples of fine and applied art to develop powers of judgment and discrimination, and also to create a desirt and love for beauty. Pictures are studied, both prints and originals with the view of acquiring taste and knowledge of the best works of art. COMMERCIAL ART. Then there is work arranged foi those students whose natural interests lean toward commercial art In this we endeavor to develop their abilities in poster making and illustrations and advertising, drawings in pen and ink, wash drawings, and other mediums. Sketches j j and drawings are made from stu- j j dents who pose in various rosi- I j tions-these are finally worked up ! into illustrations. In connection I with this, lettering as applied to show cards, posters "and pen drawings are taken up. Students in this work make the drawings for the school paper, The Classicum, and for the year book upon which they are now engaged. Study is made of the requirements of process reproduction so that drawings may appear successfully in print This offers opportunity for prac tical application of their work and gives students an introduction to the work of the art school. COMIC ARTISTS. Students who have a comic-bent : develop this and furnish a humor- ; ous side to the school publications, j Among the students who have at- ; tained notable proficiency in this ! work is Max Stevens, a natural- born cartoonist. Max is art editor of the year book. Pedigo Voll , also sees the funny side of life. Our chief letter artist is Ben Jones, j Avho has done most of the headings I for the year book. Ben also paints the muslin signs for school produc- j tions. In illustration, Martha Wright has done some creditable : work, especially in wash drawings. Students interested in interior decoration make a study of the home, the grounds and the fur- |
