A WONDERFUL CONTEST "I have attended ten annual contests but never have I attend¬ed one that gave us finer work, a higher average" said Stuart P. Dobbs, Wednesday evening' after the annual S. A. R. contest. The speeches were given as advertised in Monday's Notes and in first- class manner. Every boy did him¬self and the school honor. First place was won by Philip Finklestein who was given the medal. The judges were S. P. Dobbs, Claude Zinn and Robert Nye. FORUM The Forumn held their regular meeting last Monday night. A very interesting debate was held on the subject "Resolved: that the French War debt to the United States be cancelled." The affirmative wTas upheld by Ralph Roberts, and Willie Larsen. The negative was upheld by Ver¬nal Johnson and Lee Cain. The decision went to the negative. The whole Forum acted as judges. A very interesting debate is scheduled for Next Monday night on the subject "Resolved: that in¬sanity be abandoned from the de¬fense of any murder trial." The debators are Dan Johnson and Lawrence Trousdale, affirmative; and Cliff Fretwell and Ken Skeen, negative. This is going to prove a very interesting debate as the subject is one of vital importance, and the debators are of the high¬est type. You will hear the re¬turns soon. LEE CAIN. DISPROPORTIONED EDUCATION In a recent address President Silas Evans of Ripon college calls attention to the well authenticated fact, that while education a cen¬tury ago was largely in the hands of the church and was consequently i one-sided that it has now passed ! to the opposite extreme where no religious training is offered and that it is still one-sided. He says: "We must find a place for the interests of morals and religion to contribute more generously to a trustworthy citizen and valu¬able personality is an aim of edu¬cation, then there must be an in- working of religious and moral background." COUNCIL REPORT President Fife presided at the regular Council meeting. The roll W&s' called and the minutes read and approved. Wilma Bailey of the Social Committee reported that Zeta Phi Xi had asked for permission to give a club party on Friday. It was moved and seconded that they be permitted to give the party unless there is a school game that night, and if there is, that they attend in a body. The motion was carried. Miss Bailey stated that Messrs. Emerson Thatcher and Kenneth Skeen had asked for the concessions at Tuesday's game, and also that Carpa Diem had asked. It was moved and second¬ed that Carpe Diem be given the concessions; the motion was car¬ried. The club committee reported as follows: Gilbert Beck read the H. C. constitution and the Girls' association booster club constitu¬tion; both constitutions were ac¬cepted by motion. A discussion arose concerning the membership of clubs, and the dropping from one club to join another. It was moved and seconded that the club committee draw up an amendment to the constitution to be presented at the next meeting. ELEANOR WEEKS, Secretary. THE BIGGEST THING IN TEACHING Dr. Frank McMurry, one of the most prominent and well-known educators of America, says that if he were living his life over again, he would still be a teacher but that he would devote more time and energy to the cementing of his friendships with pupils. He regards such friendships as the highest rewards in teaching and says that he would devote as much time to consultation as he would to instruction. " He says, "there is such a thing as a growth in the capacity of friendship and I should experience it. It would include a widening of my sympathy for students a quickening of my responses to their needs, and an increasing faith in their possibilities, and a , deepening of affection that would i make me more and more generous toward them." ESSAY CONTTST The attention of students is called again to the essay contest conducted by the Weber Fish and Game Protective association. The subject is "Wild Life in Utah," and the following cash prizes are allotted to the high school. First prize $5, second prize, $2.50, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh prizes, $1 each. HIGHER SCHOLARSHIP Supt. W. Karl Hopkins has an interesting and earnest plea in the current number of the Utah Edu¬cational magazine for higher scholarship. Running through the article is a call for more sym¬pathetic, understanding, thorough, efficient teaching. The article con¬cludes with: "What is needed most is 'not fewer boys and girls on one end of the log, but more, many more, Mark Hopkinses on the other.' Boys and girls will follow where strong teachers lead." Every teacher and parent should read Supt. Hopkins' article. THE LAST GAME Ogden plays Randolph on Fri¬day evening at 7 o'clock in the Weber gymnasium to determine which team will represent RSt pn 1, in the state tournament next week. Of crse, Ogden is confident, but eojfidence doesn't always win games. Randolph is confi¬dent, too, and as they have not been beaten this year they have good cause, to be confident. It Is admitted that Randolph will give Ogden a good game and every Og¬den supporter should be on hand to root for the team. Lets go, Og¬den! Let's go! CLASSICUM OUT The spring number of the "Classicum" was issued Wednes¬day. The front cover has a lin-oleum cut ' block of a clown by Ruth Agee of the Art department. Underneath is "A Fool's Number". On the first page is the truism." "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men." This might have been expanded in¬to "A heap of fun makes up life of common run." The magazine runs true to form and one must needs search deep¬ly to find anything entirely seri¬ous in the entire magazine. It is] in very deed a relaxation number depicting all the issues of life in lighter vein. A fine sense of hu¬mor pervades the issue and will be immensely enjoyed by all stu¬dents. We guarantee that no for¬mer issue has been more thor¬oughly read from "kiver to kiver" than this issue will be read. Students will read every single ar¬ticle Tor fear of missing something. While humorous the. issue is wholesome, and Ave commend the editors and contributors on their success in putting out this new- type of magazine and giving the students an hour or two of ex¬quisite pleasure. IN APPRECIATION Few people realize the amount of work attached to the position of an advisor of the Classicum. The increasing wrork of Mrs. Newcomb, who does the tedious "de¬tail" work, and the efforts of Mr. Coray and Mr. Stewart have much to do with the Quarterly's success such as it is. A new plan was used in the corner of this issue. We made our own cut. Ruth. Agee has done her usual commendable work. We are expecting to be criti¬cized for the frivolity of this issue, but we offer it with no' apolo- THE EDITOR. An afterthought—the "Eool's" is no't singular, but plural, which is very singular. LETTER TO BOB Dere Bob. Wei we got our Clas- hic-cum today and it shure - is a ! gud one. The corner is Bleck and vvite and I think thet it is abot the pertiest wun we hev had this yere. It has got a lot of poims in it what was ritten by the steudents in this here skool. after you see the cov¬er then you come to the inside of the book—this is what is sup¬posed to be the moste interrest to al tfie kids. I think thet moste the stuf on the ones what boss the paper are sliure in lln" fore a lot of complements in the coming yere at the Hi skool. I lik the poim what Gih rote the best becuz I think thet it is .verry. good. All of the c6mpossitions are gud too— only I cant see why they didnt put some of mine in becuz I hed sum very gud ones. I think thet it wold be quiet' an onor to hev a pece in the Clas-hic-cum and the kids what get sumthing in shall be trully and mercifully grateful be-cuz they got it in. I think two thet ' Ruth Agee diserves sum credit for the fine tallent she displays in this issue. I am yore frend—A. THE KIND OF TEACHERS STUDENTS LIKE The teacher who is willing to admit errors when he makes them. . The teacher who has confidence if In his students. "The teacher who has self-con- !i> rfrafci. fidence but who does not. "know- it-all." The teacher who gives students a chance to express theif opinions, who respect their opinions, knd who doesn't talk a great deal him¬self. The teacher who plans his work carefully, upholds standards, and insists on good work. The teacher who is neat and tidy in his personal appearance, and who cultivates a quiet voice. The teacher who always stands ready to help and encourage. The teacher who not only knows his subject, but; knows how to teach it. The teacher who is broad-mind¬ed with his subject, who enjoys his work, and loves his students. Ogden High School Notes Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchan¬dise of it is better than the mer¬chandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies; and none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her. Length of days, is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.—Bible. NEW DRAMATIST Robert True, a senior whose it poems have frequently been printed in the notes and which have I received considerable favorable I comment from teachers and others, has now turned dramatist. He has recently written a one-act play, "Assertion," which will probably be presented by the dramatic art class in the near future. THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY. The day draws near, and I do fear That when it comes around, I shall not be allowed to see Our gracious queen be crowned. In fact, I know that if I keep On acting in this way, That I shall stay at home in bed On that momentous day. I must have lost all my control Of body a- of mind, Because instead of lessons "lis other fields they find. When I should think of "x times y" And "a plus four-thirteen," I catch myself in thoughts, like this, "It equals our next queen!" —WILLIAM SMILEY. STRAY THOUGHTS It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is. what are you busy about? . j You cannot drag yourself into a I character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one. "If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon or make a better mouse trap than his neighbor, 'though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.— Emerson.
