Mrs. Florence Newcomb —— Faculty Advisor THE FATAL MISTAKE Recorded in the books of the state department of education of Utah are many incidents of mistakes, made an¬nually by the hundreds of boys and girls of Utah ranging from the ages of fourteen to eighteen years. These boys and girls, attracted by the seemingly high wages paid to youths, voluntarily leave school thinking, perhaps, they have wasted too much time trying to acquire an education; but in due time these very persons regret that they left school, for they come to realize that in order to advance to higher positions they must be educated far more than they really are. That is indeed a mistake many boys and girls unconsciously make. Now if these boys'and girls had re¬mained in school and secured a com¬mon high school education they would be able to assume positions of responsibility which they otherwise can not obtain. High wages are received by those who have an edu¬cation, as shown by the National Bureau of Education's statistics. This surely explains why one should remain in school long enough to secure a high school education. Are you going to be one of those to make the mistake? Let's hope not. Stay in school as long as you have the opportunity. Remember "Op¬portunity knocks but once!" —O-H-S— CHEERING At a recent meeting or the Student Body, the cheer leader, Lippincott, implored the students to cheer. There is a great deal of meaning in the word; it is of vital importance to a school's sports. We must have cheer¬ing. What we need is less hooping, and more noise from the heart. The mouth is an excellent medium for expressing what the director feels, but it should not be used to cast pro¬fane1 and unsportsmanlike comments at the players. It is bad enough when a student of the Ogden high school hoots a visiting player who may have been considered as playing "dirty." But at one of the football games, some students, a number of them, criticised and even "hooted" one of our players. It is incredible that students can be so ungrateful to the man who gets out and works like a galley slave, and toils with no great prospects but for the school. The time has come for us, the non-par¬ticipating element, to step in and show the men who represent us on the field that we are behind them, with them, and as loyal as they, who are doing the actual work. Why can't we use as great efforts in our cheering as the men who take part in the games? If we cast off one tenth the perspiration that any one of those grimy, tired players does, we, the Student Body, will have done our best, and will be satisfied with the knowledge of having been successful. —O-H-S— RIFLE TEAM IN PRACTICE The members of the rifle team are spending a great deal of time on the range lately. They intend to keep the Herast trophy here in the Ogden High School. Sergeant Halloway is working faithfully with the boys and is sure they can deliver the goods as well, if not better than last year. THE STUDENT'S PATRIOTISM Being patriotic signifies having a love for one's country, a real heart¬felt interest in her welfare, both for the present and for the future, a will¬ingness to dfend at the cost of one's life, if it be necessary, and a desire to obey, and help others to obey its laws. A man's patriotism is not to be measured by the one who uncovers the fastest when his National Anthem is played, or the man who buys the most fireworks for the celebration of some national holiday, or the man who wears or decorates his home with the most flags on the same day, or, again, by the man who goes to a greater expense than his neighbors, by erecting a handsome flagpole on his lawn; but, it is measured by the degree in which those noble emotions ' stir him. Without a doubt there exists in the hearts of every young man a love of country equally as great as that which prompted our ancestors to die willingly in the great, or obscure bat¬tles of which we have read. A boy or girl unprepared for citi¬zenship cannot hope to promote the development of his or her commun¬ity, whether it be in a political, com¬mercial, or moral way, and, should they realize their mistake and con¬dition then, they would have to waste several precious years of later life in rectifying their early lack of fore¬sight. As previously mentioned, patriotism includes a "heartfelt interest" in his country. This interest should cause him to be concerned, not only with the success of his nation on the bat¬tlefield, but also, and as earnestly, with the development of his country, within itself, in a mental, moral, civic, literary, and in every other way which advances the culture and re-finement of his people. One who neglects his studies, while attending school or any institution of learning and comes upon his po¬litical right, not properly knowing the things which are to be his foun-dation or basis for participation in the affairs of the community, has committed a great injustce both to his country and to himself. The in¬justice to himself and to his country can be readily seen. The moral of this short theme is obvious. While the boy is in school, he should make the most of the op¬portunity of learning that which means so much to him and to his country. —Ray Kirkland. —O-H-S— "A SENSE OF HUMOR" One of the paramount things a school should teach, is the value of a sense of humor. No fairy god¬mother could bestow a greater gift, but sad to say, some of those givers of all good things neglect this, the first, most important present of all. A beautiful face may attract admira¬tion and attention; a brilliant mind may do a great deal for the world; white hands may give inspiration through interpretation of unusual masterpieces; an artist may paint marvelous pictures. But who wants to live with a face, a mind, a pair of hands or a picture, if there is noth¬ing else there to relieve the monot¬ony of existence? Life may be commonplace enough, but that one thing—a sense of humor can enliven it all. The imagination may build about what might be, but a sense of humor picks out the worth-while things as they are, and finds something to laugh at even in the bitterest moments. For after all, even our biggest efforts are small enough, when we come to consider them, and we are but puppets in the hands of an all- enveloping fate. So the things that seem so momentous are really trivial, and the sorrows that appress us will soon be forgotten.—-Why be miser¬able when it's so easy to be happy? That's all it takes—a determination to see the amusing side of life—to be contented. Have a laugh at the iron¬ies of fate. O yes, if you want friendship, and the things that count in life, cultivate a sense of humor. —O-H-S— When the leaves fall An oak leaf fell upon my foot; To walk I wasn't able. 'Twas solid oak, I'll say it was: From our extension table. ADVICE TO FRESHMEN 'The Secret of Attracting Men; Do You Know It? There is not a maiden living, re¬tiring though she may seem, but who is willing, yes even anxious to admit that sometime sooner or later in the next forty years she will meet the man of her dreams, the only man who can make her happy. Is she going to know what to do, or how to begin to attract his at¬tentions? There is always the pos¬sibility, remember, that he will pay no attention to her. You have as much irresistible charm and loveliness as the millions of other maidens striving for the same purpose, but perhaps you lack the knowledge of how and when to use it. There is no fond mother but what would welcome with open arms the opportunity to place this course at her daughter's disposal. The prac¬ticing of these principles makes her more refined, more daintily bewitch¬ing and more innocently sweet than ever before. One of the first and most essential points of this course is to learn the art of draping one's self grecefully over a radiator or garbage can, (which over one is the handiest). While doing this it is very necessary that the little finger be affectedly extended from the rest of the hand; this is done in order that the desired gentleman may be completely over¬come by your irresistible daintiness. This is also a most excellent manner for displaying the art of Cutex Finger Nail Polish. For a few moments the enchanted male is allowed without interruption, to drift in a world of dreams, scented with the essence of romance. Then without warning an avalanche of colloquialism breaks the youth's rev¬erie. This is very important as it gives him an excellent understanding of the girl's fluent use of the "English Language." The conversation should run something on this order: "Snap out of it, old thing. Say last night was sure the raz, Freddie breezed in about nine bells (always mention another youth's name, as this gives him to understand that you are very popular with the opposite sex) and we rolled over to the egg harbor in his boat, kid I'll say its sure the frog's eyebrow. He's the blaw though, stewed to the' gills as usual— but I will wiggle my tongue enough to say that he shakes some harmon¬ious sock. Well, we hoofed the hard wood all evening till he finally chat¬tered off a lingo about eats, so we jazzed over to the "Greasy Spoon" and managed to worry down a hamberg." This is very effective as you will learn after trying, the lad will be still more impressed if you immedi¬ately take out a canteen bag and cosmetize your face thoroughly, look¬ing up frequently all the while into solful eyes. Then in a mischiveous moment grab his hat or comb and trip down the hall laughing roguishly. Natural¬ly he will follow imploring you to return the article mentioned above. Resist his entreaties long enough to _ coo that he ist so big and bwave atj 'oo is fwightened of him. This is guaranteed to have the desired effect. ' Before many moments have passed it is settled that you will attend _ the theatre with him tomorrow night. Your childish innocence has won him. He is yours. GIRLS CLAIM ATTENTION The elimination basketball tourna¬ment is now being played by the girls of the gym classes. The team succeeding in defeating all other teams will be declared the champions, and its victory celebrated with due honors. Friday marked the first series of games and the auditorium was filled with enthusiastic spectators, many of whom were members of the faculty. The exorbitant price of five cents was charged for admission, but the rooters got their money's worth of thrills. Although the games were fast, every player came off the floor alive, with no apparent loss of hair or good nature. The smiles of the victor were on the faces of the winners, but the loosers took their bitter dose with good will. The halves of the games were five minutes each. The teams were dis¬tinguished by the vari-colored ties each player wore. Following are the teams and their respective colors: Red—Second period, first team, Vena Georgeson, captain; Ida Addleson, Alice McCarty, Annie Anderson, Virginia Pfiesterer.
