Show The poppies flirt with cheeks of flame H breezes sway the bluebell's stock. B Vi'lets and lilies spoon with little shame (Beside my old-time garden walk. There's an arbor here where the sky peeps through liAnd moonbaams come and gently knack. H While all is misty with a glistening dew I dream sweet dreams by my gar¬den walk. t And I am only the garden bench. jiSch night as shy couples in ca- resses lock And murmur love words in tink¬ling French, vonder what's at the end of my garden walk. There's a rustic gate away down there Aad many a picturesque holly¬hock. B In the moonlight the roses seem exquitely rare Bthe unknown end of my garden walk. —Lou Ceil McFarlane. ALL EAGER TO GO Everywhere we meet the question, "When are you going to have that new high school ?" This is a subject that has received much at¬tention during the past few years and every one who knows the con¬ditions in Ogden is a thorough¬going convert to the belief that something should be done and very soon. Action has been deferred because of the prevalence of two ideas: One, that new ground and a new building should be constructed; and two, that the present plant should be remodeled and enlarged. We believe the second idea has now the larger number of advocates. It is the most feasible and reason¬able; it is so feasible in fact, that many people insist that Work should be begun at once, So let it be. Jan. 18, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 GIRLS WIN DEBATE If you haven't heard about the Congress-Forum debates then you're behind the timse, that's all. The clubs unanimously agree that the debates are an education in themselves. Anyway, the debate Monday night, "Resolved, That instalment buying should be condemned," was worth while. Congress won! In the words of Attorney Huggins. "Once more we men have to give Way to women in talking." Both teams were excellent. The argu¬ments showed that they had searched long and thoroughly for material. Congress* conquering heroines were Virginia Nicholas and Dorothy Foulger. They debat¬ed that instalment buying should be condemned. Forum's staunch negative's were Dan Johnson and Charles Dun. This debate is the first of a se¬ries of two. The second, to be held next Monday, will consist of con¬gress' negative team and Forum's affirmative team. Congress will be upheld by Margaret Schmalz and Vella Fowler. Each team will fight. The debate will be worth listening to. WHO? Who's nervous now as the days go by, Who's looking around in search for a "guy." Not the boys, I'll say, we're hap¬py and gay, For everything seems to come our "way. Who's squeezing the nickels and dimes so hard, And so from many a show is barred ? "Not us!" cry the boys with mirth¬ful glee, As they watch and wait so con¬tentedly. Who's acting so nice, and carrying books Which belong to someone with pretty good loks? Not the girl, by all means, but the boy. you see. Who is trying to get in good with a "she." What is this writing all about? I'll tell you now without a doubt, 'Tis nothing but our Accolade— Where everything by the girl is paid. —Elroy McGregor. ZETA PHI ZI PARTY Last Friday the twelve members of the Zeta Phi Zi club were very pleasantly entertained at Isabelle Bramwell's. A short meeting was held before the social period and the "eats,", and it was voted that the next party, to be held at Mary Ethel Brittain's, would take place a week from the following Fri¬day. Hurray! A roller skating party was then discussed, and plans were formulated to the idea that there would be one. A very dainty luncheon was then served after which the club was adjourned, ev¬ery one saying that Isabel's party was the best yet, despite the fact that it was held on Friday the 13th. —Kathryn Blake. INSIDE DOPE Mr. Beeson has gone on a diet of cough drops to reduce, but we all know how impossible that is as long as he has pi so handy. Guess what? Aunt Jane has asked Uncle James to go to the girls' Accolade with her. They named Rome after Romu¬lus for killing his brother; we re¬gret that Dave Wangsgard neg¬lected this duty. Huntsville is such a poor name. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I have been rushed by a num¬ber of girls to go to the Acco¬lade, but as I never indulge in the vulgar pastime of dancing I had to refuse. But now a girl has asked me, who is my ideal, and I'm just dying to go with her. Should I take a chance on the skiddy hall— or could I just bust an ankle and thereby sit all the dances out? —Perplexed. Dear Perplexed: You are in a ticklish position, aren't you ? If you think that dancing is a vulgar pastime in-stead of the healthful exercise that it is. I. wouldn't go to the dance at all. Never let go any of your beliefs or ideals for a girl. If your ideal Indulges in dancing, and vou hate it so, surely isn't that a lowering for her in your eyes? The very fact that your ideal likes danciyg is a sure sign that your Ideas on it are subject to change. I think if you would learn how to dance you would like it very much. Why don't you talce a few lessons before the girll' dance so that you can accept her date and not cause her the embarrassment of taking a boy who doesn't know a thing about dancing. I'd take a chance on dancing on the "skiddy" floor. She wants to go to the dance to dance, and not sit out with you. It would be very rude to sit out because yout were afraid to take a chance. I think that is all that is the matter with you. Have patience, I may start a dancing School soon. —Aunt Jane. THE BIG GAME On Thursday night Ogden plays Weber In Weber gym. This is the second league game and every Og¬den High student should attend and root for his team. We simply must win thi3 game—else we'll be getting the "losing habit." Ogden must be one of the teams to repre¬sent the Ogden division at the state tournament. Don't forget that, students! FADS We fear very greatly whether Johnnie Carver is of sound mind. In fact of late he has caused so many of his friends and acquaint¬ances so much anxiety that steps are being taken to have his cra¬nium examined. And all because of his fad! Or maybe one could call it a habit. But we are entire¬ly certain that poor Johnnie has a straw-complex. For those believ¬ing in regeneration this can be ac¬counted for by the probability that one of his ancestors must have been a farmer. Aui yet, it isn't that kind of a straw. The kind that are seen waving thoughttu from poor Johnnie's mouth are the kind through which liquids may be sucked. They are just tough, com¬mon paper and yet be is always chewing on one. He cuts them in pieces and sprinkles them daintily over bis nut sundaes, steak, cheese or what have you! And eats em. Another evil resulting from this fad is that Johnnie's becoming sort of a kleptomaniac in the mat¬ter of straws. We hope that one of these days Mr. Wessman has Johnnie locked up, for it may rid him of this terrible habit. --M.K. Jan. 20, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 PEOPLE Continuing our debate: "Re¬solved, That people once placed there should remain on their ped¬estals," we will now hear from the negative side, Common Sense. "My worthy opponent, Idealism, has stated the definition of the question, so I will go on to prove) that people should not remain on their pedestals, by the main issue: People should never be placed on' pedestals in the first place as it is too hard for them to stay there, they being human, too. "It is quite true that it is a nat¬ural and human motive for people as a whole to place a person they admire, respect and idolize, on a pedestal to worship and love, but it is a mighty uncomfortble posi¬tion for both parties concerned. The worshipped, if aware of the adoration of the worshipper, finds himself afraid to do a thing for fear tle adulation will cease. If unaware of it, he will unconscious¬ly do something that will plunge the worshipper into a sea of hurt, because his ideal failed him. So, this ideal business is all bosh, it is merely a state of being for the adolescent, anyway. Of course you can admire respect and love a certain person a lot, but keep him along side by side with you. By putting him on the 'pal basis,' and realizing that he is human, too, even if a paragon of all virtues, you will have all the happiness in the world and besides that, a per¬fect pal." The judge, Experience, decrees that Common Sense wins over Idealism, by a very narrow margin. —M. K. NEW ARRANGEMENT As most students are interested in the various club doings, we have assigned the blub reporters a certain day for their respective write- ups to be in. The following arrangement has been adopted: Tuesdays — Congress, Forum, Joie Francaise. Wednesdays—Council. Thursdays—Carpe Diem, Zeta Phi Zi. Fridays—Gamma Kappa, Pallette and Chisel. There are some clubs who have not arranged for their days, so if you want to be heard, better pick a day. See Lou Cecil McFarlane. These reports are to be short (stress) snappy and full of news. We don't want the minutes of the meetings, so if there isn't any real news, no report is expected. Also, these reports are to be laid on Mrs. Irwin's desk before noon on the day assigned. Thanks.—M. K. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I have always wanted to be what is commonly called "well-read" and also up-to-date in my reading, so will you give me' a list of the latest and best plays, novels, etc.? I'd like them to be be well known and good authors,—G. L. Here is the list of good novels you desired, and I will find you some plays tomorrow: For light reading I recommend: Morning Thunder, by Nalbro Bartley; Wings, by Ethel M. Kelley. These other books are the latest and the best, found on an authentic list: Dusty Answer, by Rosamond Lehmann; Jalna, by Mazo de La Roche. (This book, Jalna, won the $10,000 prize offered by the Atlantic Monthly). The Grand¬mothers, by Glenway Westcott; God and the Grocery Man, by H. B. Wright; The American Tragedy, by Theodore Drieser; Sorrell and Son, by Warwick Deeping. I think this, will last you awhile. Thanks for your very interesting question.— Aunt Jane.

The junior schools are to select the question and time while Forum works out the rest of the details. This should help out the debating clubs in the high school, as the students coming from the junior schools will be familiar with de¬bate. The award has not yet been named, but it will probably be a cup. Many of the junior highs are forming clubs after the pattern of Forum. Last Monday night the club had visitors from North and Central. These visitors are cer¬tainly showing an interest in de¬bate, and they look like they might become mighty good debators. At any rate we wish them luck.—M. K. THE OGDEN STADIUM Has anyone heard anything about the Ogden stadium the past 10 days? We recommend that the committee, backed by the cham¬ber of commerce, keep busy on the project. We can not afford to procrastinate as we must have action to get it ready by Septem¬ber. SEMESTER ENDS This is the last day of the first semester. On Monday we begii the second semester. This will be accomplished without interruption of work, as registration will occui in all classes, the classes continuing I as well as new classes. A. I. B. LECTURES Ogden chapter of the American Institute of Banking has arranged to give the following lectures to va, rioiis high school classes in commerce, economics, etc.: "What is Wealth?" "The Nature of a Bank,' "Protecting Your Savings," "How Banks Help Business," "The Fed¬eral Reserve System," "How Banks Help Foreign Trade," "The Banks and the Farmer," "Banking as a Vocation and a Profession." MEAT CUTTING C. H. Hatfield of Chicago gave a very fine meat cutting demon¬stration before the domestic science classes on Thursday afternoon. The demonstration was arranged for by the Ogden chamber of commerce, to whom we hereby extend our sin¬cere thanks. Appreciation, also is extended to Mr. Hatfield, who is a special representative of the National Woolgrowers in their "Lamb Is Delicious" campaign. A SELECTION "The Pursuit of Moral Perfec¬tion" in "The Autobiography: Ben¬jamin Franklin" (in part). I included under thirteen names of virtues all that at that time occurred to me as necessary or de¬sirable; and a hexed- to each a short precept, which fully express¬ed the extent I gave to its mean¬ing, These names of virtues, with their precepts, were: 1—Temperance. Eat not to dull¬ness; drink not to elevation. 2—Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. 3—Order. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. 4—Resolution. Resolve to per¬form what you ought; perform without rail wnat you resolve. 5—Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or your¬self; i. e., waste nothing. 6—Industry. Lose no time; be always employed in something use¬ful; put off all unnecessary actions. 7—Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak according¬ly. 8—Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the bene¬fits that are your duty. 9—Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. 10—Cleanliness. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes or hab¬itation. 11—Tranquility. Be not dis¬turbed at trifles, nor at accidents common or unavoidable. A LIGHT It shone through the dimness of the room and cast its rays of splen¬dor upon the walls. A light, a light, sending its warm cheerful glow out into the room to cheer the mo¬ments of those who labor with zest and zeal within its radience. Ho! What have we—a light— a light—that came as a glad sur¬prise (this time) and made two girls gasp for breath. Ho! A light! A new light with a shade and everything hanging from the ceiling of the student body room, and which adds the finishing touch to the cleverly decorated room. —H. H. THE GIRLS' ACCOLADE We can talk and rave and let the superlative adjectives flow from our mouth in a continuous stream from now until doomsday, but we could never describe the Girls' Ac-colade in a fitting manner. The motif, clever to the "nth" degree; the grand march was beautiful; the crowd was the largest ever wit¬nessed at an Ogden High school party, and last but not least the punch and wafers held out until 'way after intermission. Of course I would think of something like that, but, anyway, the Girls’ Accolate was the "best yet," and much credit is due the officers of the Girls' association and the general chairman, Iris Smith, and her help¬ers. —M. K. DATA ON STUDENTS Milton Rawson—Fad—Correct¬ing Mr. Wangsgard. Leaves room —like a boxcar. Lived—for re¬venge. Died—Over taxation of the brain. Gene Kimball — Fad — smiling. Leaves room—feet first. Lived—to be modest. Died—from being shocked. Dan Johnson — Fad — Jeannette. Leaves room—like the vanishing of a smile. Lived—for beauty's sake. Died—from having his face lifted. Dorothy Foulger—Fad—Fastidi¬ousness. Leaves room—with the air of a duchess. Lived—for edu¬cation. Died—from brain fever. Paul Skeen—Fad—Falling in love. Leaves room—by the process of walking. Lived—to be loved. Died—an utter failure. Clark Nye—Fad—writing excus¬es. Leaves room—in a big hurry. Lived—to dodge these women? Died—a henpecked husband.
