Show AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please tell me the proper method for introducing an aunt or an uncle, or else a boy and girl friend? Thank you, —Pebbles. Dear Pebbles: The proper method for introduc¬ing anyone is to say to the person they are introduced to—"I would like you to meet my uncle (or aunt)" and then pronounce the name. The same method is em¬ployed in regard to the introduc¬ing friends. The man is always presented to the woman; the girl to the older woman; the boy or man to the older man, etc. Come again. —Aunt Jane. FORUM Members of Forum dropped from the heights of seriousness to the depths of silliness Monday night when they debated the question, "Resolved: That A. Mutt is a greater man than Lindbergh." Mr. Hopkins and Mrs. Broadbent won the decision of judges by proving that A. Mutt is more henpecked than Lindbergh; that he is better able to resist the ladies. Mr. Hop¬kins proved that Lindbergh is a better bootlegger than Mr. Mutt because he has his "Spirits of Saint Louis." The negative also proved that Lindbergh is not in the air as much as Mr. Mutt; that his ancestry is more illustrious and that he has a broader view of life. The affirmative came back with the issues that Mutt can climb higher than Lindbergh; that he is more of a true American and var¬ious other issues which I hesitate to state. I might add that the affir¬mative was upheld by Mr. Carver and Mr. Wattis. Now that the fellows have ex¬hausted all their foolishness and steam they are ready to get down to work on the more serious busi¬ness of the banquet and triangle debates. We find, however, that a comical debate occasionally is good for the soul. Come and see us when you can. —-Forum. COMING ATTRACTIONS 1. Once again, don't forget "The Mikado" on the 18th of April. Ev¬erything points to a big success for the production of this difficult number. 2. Remember the junior prom. If seniors want to register dates it is best that they do it at once, oth¬erwise they will be paired. 3. Also, don't forget the Lewis oratorical contest. Register with Miss Irvine at once. HSST!

Literary Editor, Annual. A POEM Another beautiful poem submit¬ted by one of our reporters: The vague and shadowy Outlines . Of the mountains Are sketched in the sky. Far above them, The moon, the great Silver moon, Sails majestically, In her robes of night. A spot of silver In the infinite black Of the awesome skies, Floating among Myriad mists. That seem to cling, To fall away, And melt in the distance. —Jeannette Rosenburg. CONGRATULATIONS! At the last meeting of council, John Carver was unanimously se¬lected to fill the position of ath¬letic manager, which is being va¬cated by Oliver Ames, who is be¬ing shipped to California. We wish Johnny luck, and may he perform his duties to the team and students in a pleasing manner. —R. G. REMINDER We want to again remind you that the contest to determine the best short story and the best poem is on! There will be a separate prize for each—three dollars to be exact; and the best one will be published in the Classicum annual. It is well worth your efforts to try out your ability along this line. —M. K. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Annie Nonymous and Jus Tiss: Your letter was received. The matter you refer to has been tak¬en up and we believe will be settled amicably and with benefit to all. —Aunt Jane. GRADUATION DRESSES It will be remembered that not long ago the girls had a meeting to determine the factors concern¬ing the graduation dresses. As some of the senior girls were not present we think it wise to en¬lighten you on some of the main points discussed. The dresses are to be girlish and simple and of dainty colors, preferably pastel shades. They can be made of crepe, georgette, or any soft ma¬terial. They are not formal, or semi-formal. One may have sleeves or jackets, or any style that will be serviceable afterwards. The main factor is to have something dainty, light and airy with light shoes and hose to match or form a pleasing contrast.—M. K. "THE MIKADO" We are going to have a matinee performance for the benefit of the grammar, and junior high schools and those who cannot attend the show at night. This opera is cer¬tainly to be a treat. It is accepted as one of the best of the lighter operas. With such brilliant cast and such a competent instructor this should be an unequalled pre¬sentation. Be sure to sidetrack a few dimes to pay for your seat. You will get more for your money than you have ever received before. Don't miss it. COMMITTEE ON AWARDS The following students have been appointed by President Hales to act with the faculty committee on awards in making recommendation as to awards for this year: Arthur Hales, Wayne Fisher, Car¬men Garner, Dorothy Foulger, Tom Broadbent, Roger Woods, Gordon Larson, Willie Larsen, Ralph Roberts. The committee will meet in Mrs. 1 Irwin's room at 8:30 o'clock Fri- , day morning with the faculty com¬mittee. COUNCIL Council meeting was held April 10, with President Hales presiding. The roll was called and the min¬utes were read and approved. The excuses were read and it was moved and seconded that they be accepted, with the exception of Mr. Willis Larson's. At the request of Mr. Skeen Palette and Chisel were granted permission to make a trip to Springville for the purpose of vis¬iting an art exhibit. It was moved and seconded that j council accept the tennis court rules as presented by the tennis1 committee. The motion was pass¬ed. It was moved and seconded that Colman Fitzgerald, Frank Math¬ews, and Wesley Hales be barred from the school tennis court ex¬cept when playing tournament games, since they have broken tennis court rules. The motion was carried. Mr. Roberts of the constitution revision committee reported that the proposed amendments will be; in a form for voting by next Thursday or Friday. On motion of Mr. Broadbent, the report was accepted. It was moved and seconded that the west tenhis court be used by the girls and the east court by the boys in case either are waiting to play. The motion was lost. The following evening performance prices for the Mikado were adopted: $1 for box seats, 75c for first floor seats, and 50c for the first five rows in the balcony, honoring Ogden High student body tickets for 25 c. The matinee prices are 50c and 25c, honoring Ogden High school and junior high school student body tickets for 25c.

The ships will relieve light cruisers division No. 3 which has been in Chinese waters for the past year. COMING ATTRACTIONS April 18—"The Mikado," Orpheum theatre. April 20—Junior prom, Berthana. April 23—Tryouts for Lewis ora¬torical contest, Miss Irvine's room. April 26—Lewis oratorical con¬test, Central Junior. Put these dates on your calendar and be sure and attend all of them, "THE MIKADO" We are going to have something entirely different this year. It is not the ordinary drama, or opera. All you lovers of humor and drama should see the original gentleman who preferred Japanese girls. Nanki Pooh is an adorable character. The rest are equally as marvelous and as well carried out, only Nanki Pooh rather catches the eye, like he does Yum Yum. Well we'll see you at the opera. LOST "Oh, doggy, doggy, who stole my doggy!" Such cries send their pain stricken question from Miss Irvine's room and fill our hearts with a sympathetic sorrow for our beloved teacher. It seems that Miss Ir¬vine is terribly upset because some lurking transgressor stole into her room and confiscated her little white woolly dog, which was one of the main attractions of her menagerie. The little woolly dog is still wandering at large—please take heed and save a great deal of heartrend¬ing sorrow. Return the white dog to its position on the desk in Miss Irvine's room. Call Room 305— Reward. R. O. T. C. EXHIBITION On Thursday, the regiment of the R. O. T. C. at high school gave a parade, opening the conference of the Fifth district Rotary clubs. The cadets demonstrated plenty of class in their drills and workouts, and the band furnished pep for the oc¬casion. Many compliments were received from local and visiting Rotarians on the manner in which the parade and drills were carried out. FATHER DIES Members of the student body and faculty join in their expressions of sympathy and condolence for the family of our fellow student, Miss Carmen Garner, president of Girls' association. Carmen's father passed away recently and we wish to ex¬press to her our sincere sympathy. ON YEAR BOOK Work on the year book is progressing rapidly and from all indi¬cations promises to be the climax of the success of the school year. Nothing is being spared to make this the most high class and inter¬esting book in the history of Ogden High school. OVER 300 GRADUATES A list of over 300 candidates for graduation has been compiled and sent to the superintendent's office. This is the third largest class ever graduated from the high school. The class of 1926 was 353; in 1925, 312. JUNIOR PROM When one realizes that there is just one more term to the school year, one's thoughts naturally be¬come seriously concerned with school work, and for the students that are leaving forever, there are always small matters of great im¬portance to be taken care of, while the underclass students are intense¬ly busy being initiated into the se¬crets and responsibilities of their future position. But crowded also into these last few weeks of school Lis a most important social event that, being sponsored by the ju¬niors, gives promise of becoming the most successful and popular party of the year, feting as it does the departing seniors. So, although the rush season of the year is on, it is up to the juniors to support their own affair, and it is only natural that the seniors should attend this last gala activity of their high school career. Announcement was made on 'Wednesday afternoon that the commencement exercises will be held in the Paramount theatre, on Thursday evening, May 24. The baccalaureate address will be given on Sunday morning, May 20, by the Rev. Ray S. Dum, pas¬tor of the First Methodist church of Salt Lake. Mrs. Jessie Beeson Freeman will sing on this occasion. ANOTHER MEMBER Again we have a new member of the Crutch and Crutchette club —that popular group of exclusive students which has come into the limelight so suddenly this year. The new member is the Hon. Warren Wattis. His advent into school the other day on a shiny pair of crutches enables him to become one of the many fortunate or un¬fortunate—have it as you may. His condition may be due to an overtaxed energy, in tennis and then again it may be from running too fast to catch the last street car home from —(?) INTER NOS Inter Nos held its regular meet¬ing last Friday. This session proved to be the most interesting held this year because the subjects taken up by the participants were very well illustrated. The program comrnittee is to be congratulated in choosing subjects well worth considering. The program was as fol¬lows: The Plan of the Roman House— Lyzena Payne; Heating and Light¬ing of the House—Jim Nobblitt; The Interior of the House—Ruth Kraines; Household Furniture— Coleman Fitzgerald. After a committee consisting of Lyzena Payne, Virginia Mortin and Catherine Cooley had been ap¬pointed to arrange matters con¬cerning a Roman banquet (you'll hear about it later) the meeting was adjourned. — Scriba — Sue Evans. JUNIOR PROM For centuries and centuries of school life, students have been learning important dates, that teachers insist must be remember¬ed, and just as promptly forget them. The only date that ever vol¬untarily remains on the mind of a junior and senior toward the close of the year, one that is causing endless excitement and activity on the part of all students, is the twentieth of April, the junior prom. This year, especially, it is exciting interest, probably because it is going to be a Spanish affair, and dark-eyed senoritas and romantic looking cavaliers will abound in an atmosphere of seductive music, punctuated by the click of cas¬tanets. TWO CONTESTS Don't forget the tryouts for the Lewis contest and the short story and poem contest. Register with Miss Irvine for the Lewis, and hand stories and poems to Marjorie j Kelley or Mrs. Newcomb for the literary contest. FORUM Members of Forum held open house Monday night on several im¬portant questions. Our banquet is well under way and the triangue, or dual debates (we don't know which they will be) are arranged and the debaters chosen. They are: nega¬tive, Tillman Johnson and Karl Hopkins; affirmative, Tom Broad¬bent and Charles Dunn. The debaters are working hard' in order to keep up the good rec¬ord of Forum this year. After all discussions had ended, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Rawson is¬sued a challenge for a debate next Monday night. Mr. Larson and Mr. Roberts accepted the challenge. CONGRESS At Congress' last meeting the senators debated another very stirring question: "Resolved, that the United States should admit Alaska as a state." According to the vote of the members, the de¬cision favored the creation of a new state, Alaska. The negative, up¬held by Virginia Nichols and Re¬becca Ririe, had some very vital issues. The affirmative, upheld by Margaret Schmalz and Ruth Falck, won, seemingly, on their short but sweet talks. The debaters seemed to realize that brevity is the soul of wit. The talks, if not to the point, were at least short. Oh! it was good anyway. Soon the Congress banquet will 3 be held. All the senators are in J suspense—who's going to have to make speeches? —M. S. AFTER THIRTY YEARS In May, 1898, just thirty years ago, the first four-year class was graduated from Ogden High school. Previous to this the high school course had been for three years only. The class consisted of Fred Wil¬liams, now president of the board of education, and Herbert Adams, two boys only. There were some fifteen or sixteen girls, most of whom are very well known in Ogden. Florence Hirst (Newcomb), Joan Woodmansee (Emmett), Lulu Mitchell (Young), Edith Gourley, Mina Clark, Ethel Clark (Foulger). Phoebe Houtz (Browning), Lou Kimball (Dyer), Dora Snow, Mag¬gie Montgomery (Taggart), Isabel Slater (Christensen), Selma Kuhn (Wertenheimer), Josie Clare (deceased), Florence Crompton (Myers), Emma Forsythe, Louise Wil¬liams. A REAL MEETING Teachers report a real worth¬while faculty meeting on Tuesday. Mrs. Irwin talked on "Student Body Government"; Mr. Benson on ; "What Is Education?"; Mrs. Newcomb on "School From a Pupil's Point of View"; Willis Smith on "Good Points and Bad in Compulsory Education." The peroration was delivered by Dave Wangsgard, who had a "Shupe and Williams Five Pounder (or was it ten),'* which was distributed to the teachers. Anyway every teacher digested some of Dave's peroration, and we believe each one got something out of the addresses. Miss Margaret Mallery, a former teacher, was a guest at the meeting. |
