Geology proved to be the popular subject Monday. Although but one class was planned, 103 students reg- j isterofl for the course. The program' arrangement of Monday, permitting the students to go home after registration at 11 o'clock and giving the teachers an opportunity to make adjustments, class rolls etc., came as a delight- j fill surprise. It pleased both teachers and pupils. It made it possible to continue work today as if there had been-no interruption between semesters. Supt. W. Karl Hopkins gave an interesting and inspiring talk before the faculty Monday evening. He complimented the teachers highly on the work of the first semester and urged them to do j even better during the coming se- : mester. He advocated thoroughness and mastery as keynotes to highest success in teaching. He advised also that the school encourage patrons to visit the school and become acquainted with the work that is being done. An elaborate exhibition of the work being done in every department and in every class will be made early in the spring. As an incentive to more thorough work and to give both teachers and pupils more definite conception of what is expected, the English department plans to give monthly tests during the second semester. The papers will be graded by teachers other than the regular class teachers. The management of the school annual, the Classicum, is offering a $10 prize to the student who has the largest number of "snap shots" accepted by the staff. The art department is not only making the "cuts" for the annual, but is also assembling and.mounting all photographs, and doing much of the art work that has heretofore been done by the engravers and printers. Pupils and teachers are much pleased with the interest the -"service clubs," city officials, and the general public are taking in the building of a new high school. That it must be built in the very near future seems to be the general conclusion and the question, i "Where shall it be built," seems jnow to be the paramount question. A great many people are urging that the board of education select j a site without delay. Wednesday Ogden High School Notes More than 100 students went to Brigham Tuesday night to see the big game. Dr. E. P. Mills acted as host and , chaperon to several teachers at the ' Box Elder gartie. Students are having "visions" of the division championship. In case it is won it will be the first time in the history of the school that . the school has had a division championship game. "Well, we can stand it-there always has to be a "first." "First" reminds us that Supt. W. Karl Hopkins has promised the boys that he will give them a banquet, if they win the division. Captain Blackham says the boys will try to stand this, too. A pep rally was held Tuesday noon. The students would willling- ly have celebrated the victory by having a holiday today but-well- we just felt as if we couldn't afford to miss school. And, our teachers, they would be so disappointed! So we just pass it by- a mere incident, you know in our progress toward the championship goal. If we're going in for championships, why not do the thing right; -and take in the state champion- ' ship, too, while we are about it? j Well, we're thinking about it. , - i Jimmie Moss, the state mentor of athletics, was up to the Brigham game. An O. H. S. wag suggested that he was probably there "to see that Ogden got a square deal." Very Qikely. It is very likely that the return game with Brigham will be played in the "Weber gymnasium. Students look with apprehension to the coming of February! The month is short enough at best-and to think that it brings two holidays-it's just awful! Why did Lincoln and Washington both have to go and be born in February? The state director of debating, Mr. Horstraan of the University of Utah, has sent out an inquiry regarding what question the high schools would like to debate this year. Speak up, students! The game Friday night with the Deaf School will be caled at 7 o'clock so that students may also go to the college game called at 8:30 o'clock. |
