Show The Standar Thurs Feb 8 Ogden High School Notes The social affairs of the modern high school play a very important part in the students' life. Some people, perhaps feel that they play altogether too prominent a part. But those who are associated with youth, and who knotf the problem of educating youth, know that wholesome recreation is absolutely necessary. When there is a lull in social activities students have a habit of saying "school is dead" and to them it is "dead" and they themselves j become listless, indifferent, lifeless. The football game, the basketball game, the matinee, the "hop," j the "prom," the drama, the debate, i the school paper, the opera, etc., I give tone, color, life, meaning to school. They are the "seasoning" j of school life that make it attract- j ive, wholesome, worthwhile. Let no one who has the interest of the young people at heart deplore the fact that the school provides wholesome amusement and recreation. There is no more potent agency for good. The social activities of the Ogden high school are conducted largely by the students themselves under the guidance and direction of teacher advisors. The board of education has no place in its budget for this great scheme of recreative education, so that students must, perforce, exercise their skill ingenuity, business acumen, in making school activities pay. These activities cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 per year, and, believe me. the raising of this sum is no small task. Athletic suits and equipment cost annually more than $1,000, the publishing of the school paper costs more than $1,000, the annual, the Classicum, costs more than $2000. Where does all this money come from? Much from the students and their friends and from patrons. Here also is where the business men of Ogden come in for their meed of praise. They pa- i j tronize the games, they advertise j! in the school paper, and in other waiys render invaluable support. Their assistance is appreciated. Parents and patrons may be interested in knowing that the student body constitution provides for a business-like administration of affairs. No article is purchased or procured except upon written order signed by the student officers and approved by the principal. The treasurer is a member of the school faculty, who receives all moneys, and who makes all disbursements by check. His accounts are audited by an auditing committee from the faculty. j For the past six years Jule McMurrin has been school treasurer. His report for the semester just closed is presented herewith. We are confident that it will prove of ' interest to the patrons, the public, as well as to the students them- SGIvgs Sale of Student Body Tickets $1,542-Apportioned: Athletic association, $616.80; Classium, $616.80; social activities, $308.40.
