Show Wed May 21 Ogden High School Notes THOUGHT FOR TODAY "A lazy man is of no more use than a dead one-and takes up more room." Ninety-nine per cent of us have to struggle against this arch enemy -laziness. In school, in factory, in store, in office-everywhere-it is laziness- pure and simple-that is keeping people back. Let him who would succeed-be he student, teacher, clerk, laborer, or preacher-get the work habit- and do his work just a little better today than he did yesterday. Students will not remember many facts that they are taught at high school ;they are likely, however, to be pretty much under the dominion of the habits they form here. STUDENT ELECTION. ' The student body election will take place on Friday morning, second period. Two hundred and forty-four students will be graduated next Tuesday. The departments are represented as follows: Commercial, 45; English, 112; household arts, 5; Latin 18; scientific, 13; engineering preparatory 2; special, 27. It is advisable that parents visit the schools occasionally and get acquainted with the teachers. Very frequently misunderstandings arise- between the school and home that prove detrimental to both. As an aftermath of Parade day this interesting incident might be mentioned: A fond mother who was waiting for the parade explained to a good-sized crowd near her that all the boys of the high school were dressed in overalls and straw hats; that the few boys to appear in uniform were derelicts who had to make up their drill. CANDIDATE LIST. The following candidates will be voted on Friday morning: For student body president, Tallmadge Boyd, Rulon Doxey. For vice-president, Dan Kennedy, Max Morrison. For secretary, Beatrice Bletcher, Margaret Bell. On Wednesday, May 28, awards will be given to rifle team, and to the following participants in school activities: Student body president, Bill Petty; to Classicum and Year Book, Earl Murray and John O'Neill; to debaters, Alyson Smith, John O'Neill, Don Wakefield.. Lewis Iverson. PROPOSE CHANGES. An amendment to student body constitution will be voted upon Friday which shall provide hereafter for two school editors and two business managers; one each for Classicum and for Year Book: also two editorial staffs, one for each publication. It is thought that this will lessen the arduous jtuties of these officers, as well as to give opportunity for large number to participate. Positions on the staffs will be lhade competitive. Manager Earl Murray announces that the year books will be ready for distribution on Tuesday next, May 27. They would have been ready earlier except for a delay occasioned by failure to get covers in time. COME TOMORROW All is set for the big exhibition and Parents' Day exercises to be held tomorrow from 9:30 a. m. to 9:30 p. m. If patrons find it impossible to attend only part of the day, they are especially invited to be present at the programs at 2 p. m. and 8 p. m. The following poem was written by a 1923 graduate, and is published in "The Wasp," a literary magazine that has a wide circulation on the Pacific Coast: A THOUGHT I THOUGHT that love Was a melody, A joyous note In the top of a tree, A far-flung, carefree Rhapsody; And I listened, and felt All the joy that I knew, I looked at the sky And I found it blue; T listened and felt Of every joy, But it turned to pain, With its base alloy Of seeming and being A veriest toy; So I look each day While the day is new, For the old, new joys- A sky that is blue. At a silver sun On the rippling sea, I look all the day 'Till my love can be A bird song flung From the sky to me. -Athleen Venema.
