Feb. 6, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Every parent says: Contribute all you can by in¬spiration and example in developing my boy's (daughter's) character, building in him a desire for service and a willingness to play his part in the work of the world. For that —or all that you can possibly do in that line—I'll thank you. SUPERINTENDENT VISITS Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins was an interested spectators and auditor at our assembly on Friday.

RIFLE TEAM Starting' with fifty marksmen, the final thinning to a squad of 15 was announced by Sergeant Hallo- way last Wednesday. The fifteen selected were: Lee Lundy, Captain, Arthur Hales, Allan Farber, Thomas Adams, Paul Skeen and Lester Grange from last year's squad; and Harlan Petterson, Bob Hodgson, Henry Inoni, Wesley King, Lloyd Keller, Art Manning, Ariel Nielson, Charles Dunn and Harold Lundy were the new men chosen. The fifteen mentioned in the foregoing statement constitute the Ninth corps area team and the na¬tional team. In each case all fif¬teen fire and the ten highest scores are recorded. The Hearst team, consisting of five men, remains to be chosen. In this team each man fires and every score is tabulated. The Hearst contest is a national affair and the prize is a beautiful loving cup. Any team winning this cup for four consecutive years gains permanent possession of it. The only school ever winning the trophy for three years in succession was the Ogden High school—a record unattained by any other school in the United States. The Ninth corps area telegraph contest has begun, and the O. H. S. team is well under way to snatch first place in its area and get in form for coming contests. —Jack Norback. The following little "gem" was picked up by the editor, who liked it a lot and hopes you will: SUNSET MEDITATIONS The sunset brings me thoughts of peace, It best can rest my weary mind and soul, Or carry my thoughts quite near the goal Of sweet restfulness. To say the least, The sunset warms" my love for life; It shatters hate and smothers strife. Its glory as to color blinds Imagination's power and finds No other scene upon the earth is so adorned Unless it be the coming of the morn. —R. W. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: My boy friend's birthday comes on St. Valentine's day. Do you think I should give him a present or just send him a valentine? If so, what present would you sug¬gest? Thanks. —Anxious. If I were you I would just send him a birthday card, or if you de¬sire to remember him with a more expensive token, I suggest a neck¬tie, or pocket handkerchief, or something on that order. It is im¬proper for girls to send fellows valentine, however. I feel sure that he would appreciate a birth¬day card as much as anything, and you may send it and feel sure that you are within the bounds of pro¬priety. —Aunt Jane. BASKET BALL Tomorrow night (Tuesday) the Tigers face the fast team from Weber. The winning of this game will put Ogden one step nearer the state tournament, and the championship of the state. Let's be there, gang. We fellows challenge you girls. We can get more boys to the game than you can get girls. Do you take us up on it? Feb. 7, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 A GREAT MAN How is greatness measured, and how can we tell it? These are questions that we must often meet. One man, Elbert Hubbard, once gave his idea of a great man. He said: "He is great who feeds oth¬er minds. He is great who inspires others to think for themselves. He is great who tells you the things you already know but which you did not know you knew until he told you. He is great who shocks you, irritates you, affronts you, so that you are jostled out of your wonted ways, lifted out of the mire of the commonplace." Can you give a better descrip¬tion? YELLOW STREAKS Yellow is all right in its place but it doesn't belong everywhere; No man wants to be told that h; has a yellow streak in him. Yet every man in Utah who drives a car this year must wear a yellow streak fore and aft. It makes no difference how rich, how harmon¬ious, how beautiful his car may be, in obedience to the state license bureau, he must disfigure it by wearing two ugly patches of yel¬low, one in front and one at the rear. Surely this is an offense of good taste that might well have been avoided. HIGH SCHOOL FORTUNATE We think the high school is very fortunate in having Dr. C. M. Rip¬ley with, us today to deliver his world renowned lecture on "The Romance of Power." From press reports we are to have a wonder¬ful treat. BACK FROM BOZEMAN Art Hales, Robert Schatz, For¬rest Griffin and Charles Michaels, who attended the vocational con¬ference in Bozeman, Mont., last week, were back at school today and gave interesting accounts of the convention. The boys were well received and kindly enter¬tained by the good people of Boze¬man. They had the opportunity of hearing national speakers talk on such subjects as "How to Deter¬mine One's Life Work," dentistry, chemistry, journalism, guide posts, etc. The boys feel that the week was one of the most interesting and profitable of their lives thus far. NEW NAME FOR OFFICE On "Monday a patron calling the high school office, said: "Give me the trouble department, please." The attendant answered, "This is the trouble department." SECOND STUDENT PRESIDENT Lewis Joseph Wallace, commonly called Lew, was Ogden's second student body president. He was horn on January 27, 1902. He at¬tended the Lorin Farr grade school and Central junior high school be¬fore entering Ogden high school. He belonged to Aeneades and Senate club and was on the debat¬ing team. Although he did not win, :ae entered the Rich oratorical conest. Lew was captain of Company B in his senior year. It was during the school year 1918-1919 that the "flu" epidemic was the worst. For this reason the schools were closed for several weeks. Despite this fact, the stu¬dent body elected and supported its officers. They were: Lew Wallace, president; Florence Wattis, vice president, and H. Lee Jen¬sen, secretary. Lewis graduated with the class of '19. After leaving school, he worked for the law firm of DeVine, How¬ell & Stine for three years. In 1922 he entered the George Wash¬ington university in Washington, D. C., and graduated from it four years later. He passed the District of Columbia bar examination and is now a practicing lawyer, asso¬ciated with Mr. Mondell of Wash¬ington, D. C. I nearly forgot to tell you that he is married. He married Miss Anne Widtsoe of Salt Lake, and they have a very fine, tiny son. ZETA PHI XI There was trouble in the air. Eight girls stood quietly on the moonlit corner, peering first up and then down the icy street. Zeta Phi Xi had been at Mary Ethel Brittain's and time had flown swiftly under the spell of much talking. The last car had already went its way to the welcoming barn, but they waited on the chance that an extraordinarily late street car might pass. All in vain, however. At last they hied themselves to a telephone, and after a short harangue and a little soft speech, an automobile sped on to gather them up. A million thanks, Mrs. Peterson, our hats off to you. But wasn't it fun? The moon was bright and the party was love¬ly. Oh, yes, Mary Ethel knows how. KATHRYN BLAKE, Reporter AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane—What do you think is most appropriate for a fellow to give a girl for Valentine. —J. B. Dear J. B.: Now that you have grown up somewhat and think the method of sending Valentines to your girl friends a rather silly custorn, I think that a girl would be pleased to receive flowers, candy, a book or something on that order. —AUNT JANE. H. C. REPORT A snappy H. C. meeting was held last Thursday. The pin committee, under Chairman Joe Halford, re¬ported that only three orders for pins have been received and three more orders must be received be¬fore they will be ordered. The main business of the meet¬ing was the preparation for the H. C. treasure hunt and dancing party to be staged Saturday night. It was decided that all should meet at Blaine Morse's home at 7:30 o'clock and wind up at the Berthana. Under our new officers the club is going with a bang. The officers elected to lead us through another semester are: President, Milton Rawson; vice president, Blaine Morse; secretary, Dorothy Wallace. KENT BRAMWELL, Reporter BALL POSTPONED The Tennis ball, which was to be given Friday, February 10, has been postponed and will be held sometime in the near future, prob¬ably after the excitement of the cadet hop has subsided. Girls, this leaves a little more time in which to save up your nickels. The world moves so fast that while one half is saying it can't be done, the other half is taking out a patent on it. BIG GAME TONIGHT Don't forget the big game with Weber tonight, in the Weber high school gym. Bring your student body tickets and 25 cents. Game starts at about 7:30 o'clock. You had better come early if you want to see the game. Ogden must win this game and with the support of the student body we will do it. See you at the game. "BUGS" Roger, who you know, is Mary's ideal, Wants to grow tall so he can be real. For Mary wants a six-foot-two, While Roger has nothing but eyes of blue. Some officers are tall, and others small, But Roger's smallest of them all. When he commands folks stare and wonder, How one so small got such awful thunder. He's fine in school and good in love, And he's as pure as the angels up above. And we all do prophesy some day, That Bugs' love will find a way. —HORACE Feb. 10, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 "Self control is the greatest of all virtues. A man becomes a cham¬pion or an artist because he has self control enough to take pun¬ishment or to work under diffi¬culties. One attains nobility of character only as the vagrant im¬pulses of nature are mastered and directed. "Moving about as we do now we are not made to behave by the censorous eye or tongue of the neighbor. Never before has individ¬ual character been so vitally necessary."—Colliers. FINE TRAINING Ogden people, generally, are very favorable to the R. O. T. C. train¬ing in the high schools. This is true of the boys who take the train¬ing as well as parents whose sons are trained. When a boy has habitliated himself to being prompt, upstanding, neat, courteous, and in; addition to this has learned to cooperate with other boys in going through the manual of arms and parade movements, and also devel¬oped a high degree of leadership and initiative he has gone a long way toward the goal of establishing a promising character. During the month of January, out of 300 senior boys enrolled in this work there were but a very few failed. ATTENDANCE RECORD Our attendance record for Janu¬ary was the lowest for several years —92 per cent. This is partially, perhaps wholly accounted for, by the prevalence of much sickness and several deaths during the month. Our usual attendance is 95 per cent or better. THE TURNING POINT The B. Y. university at Provo issued a very attractive little booklet entitled "The Turning Point" The book tells the story of a boy who failed because of lack of pluck or stick-to-it-iveness. He school just before he graduated from high school. Its purpose, manifestly, is to encourage boys and girls to remain in school—a purpose which it accomplishes rather well, we think. We recommend it to any student who may be thinking of quitting school. The book may be had for the asking. MILITARY DEPARTMENT Captain Dockler reports the fol¬lowing averages of the organiza¬tions composing the reserve officers' training corps, Ogden Senior High school, for the month of Jan¬uary, 1928: Band, 98.7 per cent; company A, 94.0 per cent; company B, 98.0 per cent; company C, 98.3 per cent; company D, 100 per cent; company E, 99.6 per cent; company F, 99.9 per cent. Company D (Lewis junior), hav¬ing the highest average for the' month, will carry the guidon during February, 1928.
