OBSERVATIONS A little bird told me that all the girls are afraid of Dale. I wonder why. Projects! Will we ever hear the last of them? Teachers, have mercy! What is the matter, don't some people know how to appreciate good music? Why be so restless when you hear such excellent numbers as we had in assembly Thursday. "Burp," "Puddle," "B. T.'" "Just Me," "Juste Moi," Two Little Girls n Blue," "Lady at the Keyhole," uid "Printh Nilly Willy," wake up! We'd like to hear from you. -Mademoiselle EVERYBODY HAPPY Was everybody happy last Friday ind Saturday? Well not quite. Many fathers and mothers were uneasy about their boys and girls. They feared accidents; they feared kid- laping. They feared especially that something was wrong when they did lot return as early as expected, rhey certainly kept the telephone jyires hot Friday and Saturday with inxious inquiries. We do not blame them a bit for these are perilous days and there is nothing comparable to the solicitude of love of parents. To the best of our knowledge, however, every student has returned safe, sound, and happy. For this we are profoundly happy and grateful. MAY GO TO PASADENA Boyd Hopkins is taking tests in chemistry, physics, mathematics, English to enter Polytechnic insti tute in California. He says the "EX's" are mighty stiff. Success to you, Boyd. A GOOD RECORD Ogden High school was very successful in the recent music contest held in Salt Lake City. Our music department came home with five first prizes. The orchestra, Eleanor McFarlane, contralto soloist, Helen Sessions, soprano soloist, and Hazel Bushline, French horn soloist all came home with first prizes. The band won third place in marching, third place in playing and third place in sight reading. Ross Lynch received second place as bass soloist. The boys' glee club also received third place. I think we all ought to be extremely proud of our music department.-Dale Anderson. IT WON'T BE LONG NOW We are near the end of the road We started way last September. Hopefully we've carried the load Up the trail we'll always remember. At times it seemed far to the top And the sharp rocks bruised oui feet. But we just weren't the kind tc stop; We wouldn't submit to defeat! There bathed in the sun's golden rays Do you see that summit bright? 'Tis only a matter of days; We've just about won this fight! -Lacka Day LETTER ARRIVES E. C. Watson of California has written the following letter to A. M. Merrill, principal of Ogden Senior High school: "Please express my thanks to your staff and student body for the enthusiastic reception I received during my recent visit to the Ogden High school.

EXACT COUNT MADE My dear fellow students: I have been doing some close fig'7 uring for your benefit. Many and many is the time I have been asked, "Exactly how many more days of school do we have?" Now I'll tell you. When you come to school Tuesday a. m. you will have exactly ten and one half more days of school. That makes 63 hours we must spend in this building this year, 3780 minutes, or, still closer, 226,800 seconds. That may sound fine but when you think of all the school work you just must have in, it almost makes you sick. Everyone in the school must have at least three four1 projects, and they must all be done carefully if we expect a passing grade. How can we do them all in that short time? Count your seconds! See just how many of them you can spend in school work. I know you must hate the _ advice I am giving you there, but I must do it and so must you. Only 226,800 YTiOic Seconds, BuFtHeywiii go ai together too speedily to suit me.
