Ogden High School News May 17 BOYS' SENIOR MEETING In a meeting for senior boys held Tuesday after school, it was decid¬ed by vote that light suits should be worn at the commencement ex¬ercises if possible. Light suits are preferable because it is spring and a uniform appearance is desired. In case a boy hasn't a light suit, a dark suit will be perfectly cotrect, for the occasion. It was emphatically decided by vote that no tuxedos would be worn. This is to keep a uniform appearance and to discourage un¬necessary expense. The girls are urged to wear plain dresses or frocks or something that can be used again in the future. BACCALAUREATE SERVICES All seniors will please meet in the city hall park on Sunday at 10:40 a. m. After all have arrived, Mr. Robins, W. Smith, Miss Chesney and Miss Keener will supervise the graduation march to the Egyp¬tian theatre. The Rev. R. S. Dum of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Salt Lake will deliver the bacca¬laureate sermon. Mrs. Jesse Beason Freeman is on the program for two solos and other musical numbers will be given. Parents are invited to attend these services and join with the seniors in their farewells. ART EXHIBITION The Ogden Art society is sponsoring the exhibition of some paintings by prominent artists at 853 Twenty-fourth street, from May 10 to June 1, The public is invited to view these paintings. If one were to walk into the newly modeled home of Dr. Mark Brown on Twenty-fourth street, he would meet many distinguished artists in paintings that seem to breath beauty and happiness, paint¬ings that reflect the soul of the artist. Each picture is numbered and titled. A painting by Emile Gruppe entitled "Giants of the Forest" (No. 6) portrays a harmony of beautiful blues shading into laven¬ders and purple. W. H. Duntbn has a picture on display entitled "Gold of Autumn," an expressive painting done in dull bronze with the bril¬liant touch of golden yellow. It seems to stay one's attention and grasps the emotions. To me it has a deep meaning of the far away and unfathomable. "Road to Bethlehem" by "Walter Baum is a winter scene, portraying a deserted road. The afterglow of the sun as it sinks sends over the snow a hazy bluish shadow. It seems that the cold, piercing wind blows from the picture and rushes bitingrly oyer the body. It is so real, alive and near that the teeth nearly chatter. A few of the artists whose works are on display are: Helen M. Weisenberg, Susette Keast, Eu¬gene Neuhaus, Mary Butler, Emile Gruppe, Carl Oscar Dorg, Bert Phillips, Charles Reiffel, W. H. Dunton, Maynard Dixon, K. Nunamaker, John M. Gamble, Ma/urice Braun, Walter E. Baum, Elizabeth Washington, Hortense Fernberger, and Benjamin Brown.

May 21, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 NEW HONOR ROLL A new honor roll is being pre¬pared at the high school. Tha will consist of 100 booster students and teachers. In other words, it will be the 100 individuals who buy Kiwanis lecture tickets and thus obtain $100 for the purchase of another art picture at the school. Seventy-five names were put upon the Roll Friday and it is thought the other 25 will be added today. UNUSUAL ART WORK So much exceptional art work is being done at the high school that one hesitates mentioning any par¬ticular piece. However, we are going to risk mentioning one or two that are different. First, there is a plastic cast bust of Abraham Lincoln, recently exe¬cuted by Blaine Drake, thait is most excellent. Then there is a modeling of fi. mustang that has just vaulted its rider, modeled by Henry Iannone, that wins the admiration of every observer. Then we noticed some book ends which show bas relief of the grace¬ful linfcs of deer, made by Kenneth Abplanalp, that made us wish we owned them. Then, again, in room 203. there is an enlarged colored crayon of William Shakespeare, made by Ruth Yorgason; another of John Milton, painted by Myrta Petersen, and a full sized crayon portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson, made by Sadie Wade, that attracted the at¬tention and admiration of hundreds of patrons on Friday after¬noon last. NEW TROPHY The attention of students was attracted to the trophy case today by a bright red ribbon with this inscription: -"Boys' Glee Club Con¬test, Second Prize. University High School Day, May 11, 1928." On the card on which the ribbon was mounted are these words: "Music, the gift of God." First rec¬ognition of the O. H. S. vocal de¬partment. Watch us grow. May 22, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 PINCOCK GRADUATED Principal Merrill received Mon¬day an announcement of commencement exercises of Chicago College of Dental Surgery, to be held June 5. The announcement is a very beautiful booklet, leather bound, and was sent by Douglas Pincock, O. H. S. '24, who is among the graduates of the class of 1928. LIKES UTAH The Rev. Ray S. Dum, who gave, the excellent baccalaureate on Sun¬day, came to Utah in September, 1927, and is proving a valuable as¬set in the state. He is already in much demand as a public speaker. Mr. Dum says he likes Utah very much and is very much at home here.

And I really believe they are« somewhat broken up about it. Of course, there are oceans of beautiful vistas open before them, lots of little by-paths and roads to be explored and many hidden meanings to be twisted into beau-tiful realities, but it is the very last time "we seniors" can be treated like children—and that is where the rub comes. We rather feel like fledglings trying out wings for the first time and we rather doubt sometimes if they are strong enough to carry us soaring on and up! Yet there is a certain thrill that comes in try¬ing them, a sort of breathless ex¬pectancy. After all, we have that glorious egotism familiar to youth j and springtime. We cannot fail for long. Life is like an ocean billow, up one minute, and down the next, but we cannot believe for long that it is up to Fate alone whether we float or sink. There is a certain will power and grin¬ning "pluggishness" that will keep us afloat—rather precariously, of course—while the winds of Fate howl threateningly around. We hate to say goodby to every¬thing and everybody that have meant so much to us during the last two years. It leaves rather a vacancy that new surroundings and environments will soon fill, but yet there's the vacancy. We'll miss the thrill and glory of being high school kids, trying new experi¬ments, learning truths that are never forgotten, forming friends that we'll hold dear always, com¬ing into contact with bigger minds and natures, and gaining recogni¬tion that will stay with us. College is almost a continuation of our high school days, so that high school is and always will be a brand new experiment to us when we enter it—and a building of hal¬lowed memories when we finally leave its cloistered shelter.—M. K. FORUM Forum held its last meeting of the school year last Monday night in the usual place. After the minutes had been read and other minor things attended to, we elected the two remaining officers. As the Forum now stands, on the first of July Charles Dunn will be president, John Carver will be vice president and Tillman Johnson secretary. Such was the vote of Forum. Next on the docket was a three- cornered discussion as to whether the Mussolini form of government was a menace to democracy. Mr. Carver, Mr. Larsen and Mr. Cain acted as the three corners of the triangle and Mr. Hopkins was the center. He received the butts and rebuts. Anyway, it was very in¬teresting. Two weeks from Monday, Mr Hopkins and Mr. Broadbent will fling the weighty words against Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dunn on the much beloved and debated ques¬tion: "Resolved, That the Eight¬eenth amendment should be re¬pealed." Broadbent and Hopkins will uphold the affirmative. The meeting was adjourned until June 5. See you next year. CONGRESS This year's curtain went down with a bang, Monday. The year's program was concluded with an excellent debate. The question was: "Resolved, That the United States was not justified in the exclusion feature of the immigration act of 1924." The question was debated with great vim. Each side brought up some excellent arguments. The affirmative was upheld by Virginia Nicholas and Vella Fowler. The negative was defended by Mar-garet Schmalz and Rebecca Ririe. The Senators gave the decision to the negative. A vote of thanks was given to the senior officers. They have been splendid in their work. Mrs. Chambers has offered to have the senators convene at her Marilyn chateau during the sum¬mer months. There, Congress can meet and debate, if nothing else presents itself, upon the grandeur of the mountains. Congress has j risen from obscurity to a brilliant place in the high school. Mcv the active seniors of next year make it shine more brilliantly than ever is the seniors' wish. INSPECTOR VISITS State Inspector I. L. William¬son spent Tuesday at our school. He seems a very pleasant man, and we weren't a bit afraid of him. Isn't that strange? I'll bet he likes our school, because we were just awfully nice when he was in. COMMENCEMENT Commencement exercises will be held on Thursday evening at eight o'clock at the Paramount theatre. The class is a very large one which prohibits the opening of the house to the public. Students are given five tickets each for parents and relatives.
