Show Wednesday 4-16-21 Ogden High School Notes Today's, thought: "Poverty is a poor excuse for ugliness, and wealth can never get rich enough to purchase good taste." We have pleasure in announcing that Le Conte Stewart has given a new impetus to the high school art collection by the presentation of a second picture to the collection. The gift is appreciated and sincere thanks are hereby expressed. In making the presentation Mr. Stewart expressed a fear that it might look as if he were trying to "Stewartize" the collection, which reminds us of a rather pretty little poem: The bird that rises on highest wing Builds on the ground her lowly nest; And she that doth most sweetly sing Sings most at night when all things rest. In both lark and nightingale we see What honor hath humility. The assembly this week will be given by the Girls' association and "Art Appreciation" will be the theme. Several prominent townspeople will be present to address us on the subject. The presentation of the pictures by the association to the school will also- be j made. INVITED TO DEBATE. Tomorrow the triangular debate of Ogden, Davis and Brigham City will take place in all three schools simultaneously at 2 o'clock. In each case judges from out of -town will render the decisions. The public is invited. Teachers have recently received contracts to continue their work in the high school next year. We have a very unusual faculty at the high school, and it is hoped that most of the teachers will remain. Of course we shall have to part with several of the women members who have decided that i housekeeping is better than school keeping. "A student is one who has an absorbing desire to know the truth, and unswerving steadfastness in the pursuit, and an open honest heart free from suspicion, guile and jealousy."-Dr. William Osier. SIX WEEKS MORE. The second term of the second semester ends on Friday this week. Only six weeks more of school this year; it doesn't seem possible. Report cards will be given out next Tuesday. Seniors have been advised that, none can be considered a candidate for graduation whose work is not complete at the end of this term. "The Harvard yard is favorably known as the quietest college enclosure in. the country. If you hear a fellow baWiing out about the yard you can be perfectly sure that he is an outsider or a new- ! comer. A gentleman is quiet."- I Charles W. Eliot, President Emeritus. CONSOLATION PRIZE. If Dr. Elmer I. Goshen of Salt Lake is correctly reported, "the public schools are the lowest product in worth of anything we've got; they are giving us absolutely nothing in dependability and efficiency. The service clubs too are practical failures, having no real mission nor definite tasks to perform." The doctor admits, however, that he himself is a howling success; for this we all I should be profoundly grateful, for j any age which produces one great i man will never be forgotten. IF YOUTH WERE WISE. 1 If youth were wise Then youth were genius I And the world were at our feet, i If youth were wise j Then life were saner, ! And the wild, ecstatic pleasure j That we drink j We would pass by. I If youth were wise Our path were smooth and even And our life well lived indeed. But oh! if youth were wise How much of life we'd miss. -Virginia Greene. |
