Will you, boy, let him come as a man among men in his time? Or will you throw away his inheri¬tance before he has had the chance to touch it? Will you turn over to him a brain distorted, a mind diseased, a will untrained to ac¬tion, a spinal cord grown through and through with "the devil-grass, ' wild oats?" Will you let him come and take your place, gaining through your experience, happy in your friendships, hallowed through your joys, building on them his own? Or will you fling it all away, decreeing, wantonlike, that the man you might have been shall never be? This is your problem in life—the problem which is vastly more to you than any or all others. How will you meet it, as a man or I as a fool? It comes before you to¬day and every day, and the hour of your choice is the crisis in your destiny! FORUM MEETS Something new was initiated into the Forum meeting Monday night. The fellows were restless and the room was hot, so we met on the front steps of the building. That settled the question of heat— external. The meeting, however, was "plenty hot." The questions discussed were mostly of a financial nature, and brought forth many arguments. Forum has no treasury and, as a result, something must be done with the,surplus money from the banquet. At the next meeting, officers for the coming year will be elected and the old members will say good- by. We believe that this has been a comparatively profitable year for the club and we know that next year will be just as successful. ANOTHER CUM LAUDE Miss Virginia Evans' name was inadvertently left out when the cum laude list was made, so we here announce that she is on the honor list. CONGRESS At the beginning of the meet¬ing, Miss Manning arose and put before the assembly an interesting motion. She proposed that, in two weeks, which would give am-ple time for preparation, we should, have a super-excellent de¬bate, well worked out and invin¬cible. So, it is decreed that there shall be a debate in two weeks which shall be a fitting climax to our year's work. Four members were elected by the senators to prepare the debate. The question, "Resolved: That the United States was justified in excluding Chinese and Japanese," has been debated before, but it is always ready for another argument. Both sides can find a great deal of puzzling, brain-stimulating material. —Margaret Schmalz. ART EXHIBIT The most extensive art exhibit since the Metropolitan exhibit several years ago, is going to be held starting this week. This exhibit displays the work of nineteen well known artists, all from outside the state. New York, Philadelphia, Arizona and California are among the localities represented. This exhibit is sponsored by the Ogden Art society, and from this display the Girls' association of O. H. S. will make a selection for our art gallery. Speaking of art gal¬leries, we boast an excellent begin¬ning. Beauregard, Stewart, Salis¬bury, Wright and Harwood are a few of the famous cognomens at¬tached to the pictures we so proud¬ly hold. We hope to add another excellent one from this exhibit, which the art society has so care¬fully chosen. This exhibit will be open to O. H. S. students and the art students of Weber college on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We hope that a large number from these schools will be present. On Sun¬day, a reception will be held and from then on until June 1 this exhibit will be open to the gen¬eral public. The exhibit will be held at the beautiful home of Mrs. Mary Wattis Brown, 853 Twenty-fourth street, formerly the Shurtliff home. Those interested will find themselves greatly benefited it they visit this display, and will feel heartily grateful to Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Estelle Wattis Bowman, special committee of the art society, for their carefully planned and chosen exhibit. —M. K. CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations to S. Karl Hop¬kins and Harold Holmes. In win¬ning the chemistry essay contest, you bring fresh honors to our school.

JUNIORS TO MEET Tomorrow at 1 p. m. all junior high school students who expect to attend tfce senior high school next year are to meet at the high | school, where the following pro- j gram will be rendered: Boys' chorus, South Washington junior high school; reading, "Bald Headed Man," Myrtle Roghaar; op¬era chorus, North Junior; reading, "Kentucky Philosophy," Harriett Woolley; orchestra number, Cen¬tral Junior; reading, "The Mumps," Rebecca Ririe; vocal solo, Lewis Junior; duet, Blanche Heed and Dorothy Anderson. After the program the students will go to assigned rooms and reg¬ister for next year's work. HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNAE The following high school alum¬nae are graduating this week from the Dee Memorial hospital: Sara Agee, Lyle Mole, Evelyn Jackson, Esther Taylor. We congratulate them on having prepared for fine service. AWARDS Recommendations for those who are to receive awards were made by council Tuesday afternoon. From 54 who were in activities, 17 were recommended to the faculty committee for awards. The voting was held by a choice system. On each ballot 10 names were written according to choice by the members of council. A committee counted the ballots, putting those who received a majority (14 votes or over) on a separate list. There were eight on this list. The votes over 14 that they received were credited to the name below them on the ballot. The council feels that this was the fairest system of voting that could be found and it hopes that the student body as a whole will agree. The faculty committee will make the awards, using the list of 17 as the choice of the students. The awards will be presented in the as¬sembly on the eighteenth of this month. SENIOR DAY A goodly number of the seniors are enjoying themselves today as the guests of ' the University of Utah. The seniors from the junior high schools are the guests of the faculty of the Ogden High school at the spring registration. It seems funny, now that school is so nearly out, for all of the students to be so calm and nonchalant about graduation. This spirit will wear off about the last week of school, we imagine, and leave in it place real regret at leaving the place of our learning. WEBER ART EXHIBIT On Wednesday night in the Weber gymnasium and library, Mr. Larson of Provo and Le Conte Stewart gave interesting lectures on art in Utah. Pictures are on ex¬hibition by all of the leading artists of Utah, and are well worth seeing. In addition there is a memorial exhibit in honor of Mrs. Birdie Reeder, who passed away recently. Her work is outstanding. Not only was her art shown in paintings, but in craftwork of all kinds. Her pictures should last and be recog¬nized for some time to come. ANNUAL AWARDS Just about this time of the year there is a great deal of suspense as to who are going to receive the awards for outstanding service to the school. The faculty and stu¬dent council are having a hard time even to make a preliminary preview of those students who de-serve awards. VISITORS AT SCHOOL We were pleased to have as our visitors Thursday several promin¬ent educators from the B. Y. U. Professor Eastmond, head of the art department at the B. Y. U., and Professor McAllister, head of the music department, made a tour of the Ogden High school and com¬mented favorably upon our art and music departments. They were accompanied by Supervisors Mark Robinson and Sarah Wilson. NOTED VISITOR C. H. Schweigert, for the past 25 years instructor in English at Cen¬tral High school, St. Louis, spent the entire day Tuesday in the Eng¬lish department of the high school. Mr. Schweigert is the editor of a book of short stories used widely in high schools, a school edition of Shakespeare plays and other lit¬erary ventures. He gave a very interesting talk in one of the class¬es about Fannie Hurst, who was a student of his and with whose life he is intimately acquainted. He spoke also of many other well known present day writers with whom he is personally acquainted. Mr. Schweigert is a very interest¬ing person and his visit is appre¬ciated at the high school. SCHOOL RECEIVES GIFT Miss Ruth Yorgasen, a prominent art student in the school, presented a beautiful plaque of Woodrow Wil¬son to the O. H. S. Thursday. While Ruth was at Lewis, Cornel¬ius Calisbury, formerly at Lewis Junior and now at West High school, offered three of these plaques to the three students doing the best work in art. Miss Yor¬gasen won one of these and now has presented it to the school to add to the large art collection which we already have. We appreciate this gift, and the manner in which it was given. Perhaps some day we shall have a real collection, grown from just such a beginning as we have today. PARENTS' DAY Friday, May 18, is Parents' day. Invitations are being sent to all patrons to visit the school between the hours of 2 and 5. A special program consisting of a. one-act play, music and fashion show Will be opened at 2 o'clock. AWARD DAY Friday, May 18, is also award day. A special program will be given at 11:15 a. m. After much deliberation of council and faculty award committee, the following have been selected as entitled to awards from the school: Fay Hopkin, Gordon Larson, Wayne Fisher, Arthur Hales, Sadie Wade, Esther Lashus, Dorothy Foulger and Tom Broadbent. The following awards will also be given: American Chemical society to S. Karl Hopkins and Har¬old Holmes; Utah Harvard club to Eliot Sampson; Standard-Examin¬er award to Elton Knapp; New Book awards, Tom Broadbent, story; Louise MacKay, essay; Sadie Wade, poem. OFFICERS ENTERTAINED Captain Dockler, Lieutenant Col¬onel Gordon Larson, Captains Al¬lan Farber, George Hartog, Mil¬ton Rawson and Clifford Lund are guests at luncheon today of the Salt Lake chamber of commerce. As the number of officers invited was limited it was necessary to se¬lect the captains to represent Og¬den high by lot. This explains why the above were chosen. BAND PLAYS TODAY The R. O. T. C. band is playing this afternoon for the opening of tViA baseball season. Through the courtesy of officials and the cham¬ber of commerce, transportation was furnished from the high school to the park and return. APPRECIATED The Ogden Federation of Wom¬en's Clubs has sent a letter to Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins, expressing appreciation of the pro¬gram given by the R. O. T. C. band of Ogden high school during the state federation's convention here. It was signed by Mrs. J. W. Wintle, Mrs. W. N. Petterson and Miss Josephine Seaman. A simi¬lar letter comes from Secretary J. S. Richards of the Ogden Rotary club, regarding the concert during the Rotary district conference. CONGRESS Election of next year's officers was the main business transacted by the senators at the meeting Mon¬day. Rebecca Ririe was made pres¬ident and Ruth Roberts vice pres¬ident. The offices of secretary and reporter are still vacant. We've got to have a good writer for a secretay so that Senator Abbot's perfect work will not be marred. Owing to the fact that Miss Rose will not be with the club next yeaf, Kathrine Thomas was elevated to fill her vacancy. So Congress is "all set" for a "successful year. FORUM If you have read the constitution of Forum, you know that, unlike most clubs, a two-thirds majority of the votes of the membership are necessary to elect an officer. Mon-day night was taken up mainly with balloting, trying to obtain the necessary majority to elect officers for next year. It was easy to elect Charles Dunn to the office of pres¬ident, but the elections struck a snag from there on. . On the first ballot for vice pres¬ident, Mr. Carver and Mr. Johnson split the votes in such a manner that neither was elected. More bal¬lots were taken but the difficulty was not removed. After the ninth ballot, the members became tired and the election was postponed till next Monday night. During the week, if you hear any stump speaking going on, just remember that Forum is trying to put over a candidate. One thing is sure, both of these boys will get an office, there being two boys and two offices left. We decided that, inasmuch as next meeting is the last meeting, I that we should have a real old Forum debate. In order that no I one might be cheated out of a chance to express himself on that | night we drew numbers, placed in a hat by Mr. Smith. Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Carver drew the lucky i numbers and will debate against Mr. Rawson and Mr. Cain. This promises to be a "hot" debate. FROM WEST POINT A letter has been received from Jake Reynolds, at West Point, by the members of Forum. Jake was operated on for appendicitis the day his invitation came to attend the Forum banquet, and he was un¬able to answer "it. He is now on the road to a quick recovery and ex¬presses his congratulations to the club on another birthday. TO PRINTERS Copy has been sent to the print¬ers for programs of the graduation exercises and the baccalaureate services. No pains have been spared to make these the most impressive and important affairs of the sen¬iors' lives and we are sure that seniors will always remember them. The general public is invited to these services, but certain sections of seats are reserved for the seniors and their parents. EXHIBITS All over school now we see desks piled high with maps, drawings and other artistic bits of work, done by the students for the annual spring exhibits. We know that these will be especially good this year because teachers and students have been working on them for a long time. On Friday, the awards for the [year will be presented at the 11:15 o'clock assembly. During this as¬sembly Jessie Beeson Freeman, daughter of "Dad" Beeson, who has been singing over the larger radio stations in the United States, will give a number of solos. At 2 o'clock there will be a spe¬cial parents' program, consisting of a one-act play, a fashion show, and music. In fact, from 2 o'clock until 5 o'clock will be devoted to entertaining parents. They will be conducted, after the program, to 1 the various rooms to see the work of the students on exhibit. Invitations and programs are be¬ing sent out today to the parents. FACULTY MEETING At faculty meeting on Tuesday, B. H. Hyde made a plea for pro¬fessional spirit and educational growth. He advocated the estab¬lishment of a reading club among the teachers. Mr., Hyde clinched his argument by giving the teach¬ers a dictionary true and false test on selected words. This test was very carefully planned and was sufficiently difficult to convince the teachers that they have yet a few things to learn.
