TO STUDENTS OF OGDEN HIGH A word to the wise is sufficient! Therefore: Do not predict things—they are too apt to come true. This was made manifest when Warren Wat¬tis unwittingly disabled himself, therefore qualifying himself forj membership in the Crutchees and Crutchettes. This was predicted and has caused the writer sadness. Heaping, hot coals of disdain have: I been thrust upon the writer; so I sad. Therefore—predict not! (Signed) SADDER, WISER, DETERMINED. NEWS ON JUNIOR PROM Now that all seniors have re¬ceived their invitations to the prom and know with whom they are to attend there is much interest about the school concerning the forth¬coming dance. Although the prom was an¬nounced formal, the juniors assure the fellows that that does not mean that they must wear tuxes. They want this to be the best dance of the year and one which their guests, the seniors, will re¬member as long as they live. REPORT CARDS OUT Some report cards are out and some students are out—out of luck. One may hear a strange mixtures of Ohs and other noises floating about in the halls of the school these days. Only, six weeks more! Will we sink or swim? That is the ques¬tion. Six weeks and then the senious will leave the defer old school forever, and the juniors will be seniors, waiting for a chance to drag their new rivals through the fire hose. Here's luck, juniors. VOTE ON AMENDMENTS Tomorrow a series of proposed amendments will be presented for the students to vote on. It is necessary that every student who votes understands the nature of amendments; therefore they have been posted on the bulletin board for the past 10 days. The commit-tee desires that every student vote intelligently on these amendments and consider what they are voting on. Constitutions, to be progres¬sive must be changed according to the needs of the persons they govern. The question is, are these the right changes. That is what you are to vote on tomorrow. CENTRAL EXCELS Last Tuesday night in the Orpheum theatre, Central entertained the many patrons and friends of the school at a delightful pageant, The pageant followed the idea of "The Clock of Life." It was well worked out in every detail and was ijgery high class. The dances were performed with grace and preci¬sion that goes with much skill and practice and the whole affair was well received. The Sun Chariot dance was especially attractive and received much commendation. Humor was added to the event by Mrs. Case's clog dancing class of boys. These fellows put spice in to the performance. Mrs. Case, Mr. Cos and all those connected with the pageant re¬ceived much praise for their work. COMING ATTRACTIONS April 20—Vote on revision of constitution. Assembly by Gamma Kappa. Junior prom.

Widdison elected president of the Ogden City Teachers' asso¬ciation, and Mrs. Florence New¬comb vice president. Other officers elected were Alphida Hendricksen, recording secretary-treasurer, and Elinor Crouter, corresponding secretary. THE STUDENTS' VIEW During the past week Mrs. Flor¬ence Newcomb has made a very in¬teresting investigation of students' viewpoint and attitude on school questions. One hundred and one students in answering a question¬naire threw some very interesting sidelights on students' viewpoints, for instance: 8 5 like school, 16 dislike school; 44 believe in school clubs, 57 do not believe in them; 62 believe in student body gov¬ernment and 39 do not. Their responses to the sort of teacher they like, the sort they dislike and their suggestions about ways and means of making a better school were both interesting and illuminating. THANKS EXPRESSED The high school expresses appre¬ciation and thanks to Superintend¬ent Hopkins and principals for per¬mitting and supporting a matinee performance of "The Mikado." PETERSON TALKS At a special assembly held at 1:40 o'clock today, President E. G. Peterson of Utah Agricultural college spoke to the students on the value of an education and why most students should attend college. We are very glad to say that the opera lived up to our fondest ex¬pectations. It was almost perfect; everyone being perfectly cast and playing their respective roles to per¬fection. You can see where we get the perfect idea. The chorus was beautiful; never have we heard such harmony in such a large chorus—especially a school one. The dancers were very dainty and demure. Coming to the pirncipals—we wish to congratulate all of them. Gordon was right at home in his part and so was Kent. Iris was beautiful and adorable, while Don surprised us, he was so good. Glad¬ys and Helen were excellent. But if anyone was outstanding in char-acterizations we wish to give this honor to Miss Blanche Heed. Her voice was beautiful and had depth and power; while she showed re¬markable talent as an actress. Con-gratulations! Royal Harrop as Pish Tush had a fine strong voice and was very good in his role. We are just about undivided in the opinion that the opera was the best we have ever seen produced by the O. H. S. stu¬dents. Please accept our heartiest congratulations. We wish to acknowledge the beautiful stage settings; they were very true to life and very beautiful. We would like to congratulate Mr. Stewart and Bob Wing on their careful industry. And to all others who helped to make this opera the perfect success it was, we extend our heartiest Congrats! It was the best ever! M. K. HOME AGAIN Alyson Smith of the class of '24, who has recently been working with the Los Angeles Herald, has been appointed as a reporter for The Standard-Examiner. Another wandering boy coming back home. TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT Tonight is the night of the prom. All day, excitement has prevailed at the high school. This is the last formal dance of the season, except the senior reception, and all of the seniors rather hate the thoughts of leaving O. H. S. However, all will enjoy this wonderful party tonight. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: How are the graduates to order their name cards and announce¬ments? From someone in the school? Is the money to be paid when they are ordered? I would like to know all about it. PEGGY. Dear Peggy: Announcements and cards may be ordered from Paul Skeen or Ralph Roberts and the money may be paid in full or part at the time you order them and the rest when you receive them. AUNT JANE.

ON THE LAST LAP The second term of the second semester closed a week ago today. So this week we have been startec out on the last lap of the school year 1927-28. SERENADE FEDERATION Ogden High's famous R. O. T. C. band under the direction of Sousa II (Hy Lammers), serenad¬ed the Utah Federation of Wom¬en's Clubs at the Hotel Bigelow at 11:30 a. m„ Thursday. The women were appreciative of the courtesy shown them. CREDIT FOR OTHERS Dean Johnson, publicity man¬ager; Glen Woodward, properties, and Bob Wing, assistant property and stage settings manager, of the opera "Mikado," are hereby ten¬dered sincere thanks for their help in staging the beautiful opera. SCHOOL PROBLEMS The school council, consisting of some 33 students, is entrusted with the direction of social and extra curricular activities. The organ¬ization has done splendid work dur¬ing recent years and finds itself getting deeper and deeper into school problems. For instance, at the present time the council is con¬sidering pro and con the subject of school*awards and is coming to realize how tremendously big and important in school life some ap¬parently insignificant administra¬tion problems are. It is beginning to realize that absolute justice and fairness can only be approximated in life, and that organized society just does the best it can. With this information ip hand, students should go out in life greatly bene¬fitted by the experience gained. Bremen Backer Composes Poem Expresses Gratitude In The junior prom this year was an exceedingly beautiful affair and immensely enjoyed by the whole crowd in attendance. There was an atmosphere of gaiety and cheerful¬ness. The grand march deserves espe¬cial mention. It was thrilling to watch and clever in arrangement. The committee anc members of the junior class are to be compliment¬ed. TRYOUTS HELD Late Monday afternoon, in Miss Irvine's room, the tryouts for the Lewis oratorical contest were held. Those competing and their sub¬jects, were as follows: Jeanette Rosenburg, "American Democra¬cy"; Glen Wilkinson, ''Newspapers and Moral Education"; Virginia Nicholas, "A Stitch In Time"; Wanda Rose Preston, "The Hun¬dredth Man"; Grant Syphers, "Les¬sons of the Past"; Margaret Schmalz, "Equal Opportunities for Women"; Gwen Clark, 'Why War?"; Ruth Jackson, "Ideals." . The contest was close and afford¬ed the judges plenty of material from which to pick a team to rep¬resent O. H. S. against Davis, Box Elder and Weber in the Lewis con¬test. Those winning places on the team were Grant Syphers, first; Jeanette Rosenburg, second. The teachers desire to thank those taking part. PLACE IN MEET At the swimming meet held in the Weber gymnasium last Friday and Saturday, several Ogden High school students made a very com¬mendable showing. Gordon Van Buren won the intermountain fancy-diving contest for men. His work was very good and showed much training and skill. Mis Carmen Garner, more commonly known as "Tom," pulled away from the entire field in the breast stroke for women and suc¬ceeded in breaking the intermountain record by ten seconds. She was ten yards ahead of the near¬est contestant at the finish. Donna Manning succeeded in capturing a number of places. She walked away with the first in the women's back¬stroke, won second in the intermountain fancy diving contest for women, was on the winning relay ' team, and captured a second in the hundred yard free style. We think that this is a very re¬markable showing for high school students and congratulate them all on their fine work. SPRING ATHLETICS Eligibility cards are being filed (this week for the following fifteen athletes: Theodore Alexander, Le- Roy Ballantyne, Richard Barker, Blaine Carruth, DeLoys Cazier, Wayne Fisher, Elton Knapp, Gor¬don Larson, Lowell Newey, Dale Schalt, Dan Stewart, Iral Stewart, George Wakefield, Harry Wright and Melbourne Wright.

The cast consists of Blaine Corey, Marjorie Kelley, Elsie Wheel¬wright, Nora Sorenson, Francis Purrington and Vella Fowler. CUP OBTAINED At last Forum has purchaesd a cup to be given to the winners of the Junior High Debating league, South Washington. It is a beauti¬ful cup, being tall and of exquisite shape.

Again we congratulate South on being the first to have their name printed on the handsome award. IN HONOR SOCIETY We are glad to see an announce¬ment that three Ogden High grad¬uates have been voted into the honor society at U. of U., Phi Kappa Phi.
