THE O. H. S. TIGER, JANUARY 17, 1923 Page 5 SOCIETY T. N. T. DANCE The Christmas party given Decem¬ber 22, by the T. N. T. Club at the Berthana proved to be one of the most delightful and enjoyable affairs of the school year. The hall was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees, gloriously lighted with colored lights, bright ornaments, tinsel, and an abundance of (cotton) snow. In the center of the hall stood a huge Christmas tree that caused the chil¬dren to squeal with delight. Pro¬grams that were a novelty; delicious punch and wafers. All went toward making the evening a success. Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, and Captain and and Mrs. Ryder led one of the most beautiful grand marches Ogden High has ever witnessed. The girls blos¬somed forth in the loveliest of frocks that caused the hall to resemble a flower garden. Miss Louise Zeller wore silver and green metal cloth, hooped skirt. Mrs. Leon Ryder, lavender taffeta, metal flowers. Miss Myrene Rich, Ceruleun blue taffeta, petaled skirt. Miss Virginia Scowcroft, blue taf¬feta and silver lace.

Again the year has rolled around and again these dauntless damsels have bravely made their plans for another Leap Year dance. They intend to make the dates, buy the tickets, pay the street car fare, and give the fellows an en¬joyable evening. The Weber Girls' Association is joining in this party and it is up to O. H. S. to beat Weber in making the most dates. Girls, let your motto be "Faint heart never won fair man." —O-H-S— OF HAPPINESS "O Happiness! our being's end and aim"—Pope. The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who seeks happiness must appeal to his heart for happiness is subjective not objective. In his search for happiness man lias appealed to creation. The earth told him that happiness grew not in the fields; the sea that it was not in the treasures of the deep; and crowns said, "It is too precious a jewel to be found in us; we can adorn the head but we cannot satisfy the heart." Health, wealth and fame have al¬ways been the three popular defini¬tions of happiness, but the thousands who possess any of these blessings are not happy; they even declare that they have not the means to be happy. A French writer defines happiness as consisting in the absence of misery. How many human beings are there without a germ of evil; yet who say they are not happy? The way to find true happiness is in making some one else happy; and to be happy ourselves is an effectual way to make others happy. "There is that that scattereth and yet in- creaseth." He who follows those wonderful words—that all should do as they would be done by—is the happiest of mortals for he possesses a clear conscience. "There is a certain art in keeping ourselves happy." W hat a thousand things there are to be happy for! Consider the blind man who sees neither the pleasant river nor the rolling meadows, the flowers or the fountains; this and many other like blessings we enjoy. There is happiness in the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth and the sea. This is a glorious world with happiness everywhere: we must let its happiness enter our hearts! —Thelma Faulkner. MY TRIP ABROAD By Sam Freedman —O-H-S— Toward the end of the journey we sighted many great steamers. On the last night aboard ship, the captain gave a party and a dance, which was enjoyed by all as there were a number of young ladies aboard who made the dancing a suc¬cess. On the morning of July 16th, we sighted the white chalk cliffs of England, the first sight of land since leaving New York harbor, and we felt a little like the crew of Colum¬bus' ship. After an exciting but thoroughly enjoyable trip, the Poca¬hontas reached Southampton where it was met be representatives of the British and American Scouts in London, togteher with the American Consul and other officials who went down the river in a tender and boarded the ship. The trip up Southampeon rivetr to the docks was a triumphal progress. Every ship flying the Stars and Stripes was cheered and every British ship that was passed cheered us in turn. Amid enthusiastic scenes we were landed at the Empress docks. A special train carried us to London, arriving at Waterloo station at mid¬night. It had originally been intended to have accommodations ready for us at a camp in Richmond Park, but the camp unfortunately was not ready. However, through the kindness of the Y. M. C. A. a camp had been prepared at Mildmay Park on a place called Newington Green. We were taken by taxicabs and hackneys to this camp and as we rattled through the streets of the sleeping city of London there was not one of us who didn't think of all he had heard of London and the history connected with the famous city. We arrived at camp, a pretty sleepy bunch, at about one o'clock and were issued blankets and mattresses and after reconnoitering for a while we hunted up a lunch wagon and had a bite to eat, the owner becoming a rich man. Soon after that we were all fast asleep dreaming of home. The week following our arrival was spent in seeing the sights of London and in rehersing for the great ex¬hibition to be given at Olympia where the famous Olympic Games were once held. We found pretty quickly that our money went just as fast in England as in America, but we soon learned to count our chillings and pence, and a representative of the American Express Company in London called at the camp every alternate day to change our money. Great interest and enthusiasm was shown in visiting all of the famous places and seeing the sights of Lon¬don. Westminster Abbey, the Na¬tional Art Gallery, the Tower of London and the British Museum were among the first to be visited. Westminster Abbey, like most of the great Cathedrals of Europe has been the growth of centuries. Found¬ed by Edward the Confessor and practically rebuilt by Henry III. it has received many additions par-ticularly in the reign of Edward III and Henry VII. It is a very im¬pressive building. The interior is very magnificent with its lofty col¬umns of Purbeck marble, narrow pointed arches and vaulted roof. In¬ternment within the walls of West¬minster Abbey is considered the supreme national honor. Here has been celebrated every English Coro¬nation since Edward the Confessor. In the National Art Gallery we saw one of the most wonderful and greatest collections or art. This gallery contains an unequalled col¬lection of pictures by the greatest masters of the various schools of painting. Vast sums have been spent in the purchase of some of these. In the British Museum is the greatest collection of Egyptian an¬tiquities in the world. Here we saw perfect mummies and petrified bodies, found in the sands around the Nile river in Egypt. Some of these bodies are thousands of years old. Not only is the museum noted for its great collection of mummies but also because of its collection of ancient Egyptian stone writings, which is practically the only one in the world, and the one from which we get our history of earliest man, and the beginning of civilization. Among the most interesting things here seen was the Rosetta Stone, the key to these ancient writings which were read to us by the guide in the museum, a very well educated man who has deciphered this code. The Tower of London was of great interest to all of us, as this was a place of which we had all heard, and a place of the greatest historical interest. We were taken through the tower by a very com¬petent guide who gave us an ex¬cellent idea of the history of the tower, its prisoners, the crown jewels, and the costly armor on exhibit. This description of the guide's I jotted down in a notebook and it is really worth while writing. The Tower of London was first built by William the Conqueror, for the purpose of protecting and con-trolling the city. As first planned, it lay within the city walls, but its enlargement late in the twelfth century carried its boundaries east beyond the walls. Part therefore of the Tower is in the city of London, and part outside the city, but it forms, with its surrounding fortifi-cations, a precinct in itself. It covers an area of eighteen acres within the garden rails. The present buildings are partly of the Norman period; but architec¬ture of almost all of the styles which have flourished in England may be found within the walls. It is well to /emember that though the Tower is no longer a place of great military strength it has in time past been a tortress,' a palace and a prison, and to view It rightly we must regard it in its threefold aspect. The oldest and most important building is the Great Tower or keep, called the White Tower. The inner Ward is defended by a wall, flanked by thirteen towers, the en¬trance being on the south side under the bloody tower. The Outer Ward is defended by a second wall, flanked by six towers on the river face, and by three semi circular bastions on the north face. A ditch or moat, now dry, encircles the whole, cross¬ed at the first mention of the idea— stone bridge, leading to the Byward Tower from the middle tower, a gateway which had formerly an out¬work, called the Lion Tower. The Tower was occupied as a palace by all the English kings and queens down to Charles II. It was the custom for each monarch to lodge in the Tower before his Coro-nation, and to ride in procession to Westminster through the city. OFFICERS AND NON COMS TO GIVE INFORMAL HOP The cadet officers and non coms plan on having an informal hop on or about February 3rd, at the Maids, and Matrons Hall. This will be the first time that the officers and non coms have given a hop together. Captain Macnab Boyd is in charge of the affair. Any detailed informa¬tion can be obtained from him. The officers of the "army" are rarin to go but the non coms hesitat¬ed at the southwestern angle by a Let's go non coms!! Get your dates now!! —O-H-S— COMMERCIAL CLUB VISITS SHUPE WILLIAMS It was the intention of Mr. Leigh, the commercial club's advisor, to visit Shupe Williams candy factory for the purpose of seeing how things are run in a large factory (the intention of the students is under¬stood). Last Wednesday was the day; it marked the happiest day in the year for Zinn, "Smitty" and the rest of the "commercialites." A guide took the party through the place and explained thoroughly everything that was of interest to the club. —O-H-S— ARE YOU IN EARNEST? Lose this day loitering, 'twill be the same story Tomorrow and the rest more dilatory. Thus indecision brings its own delays And days are lost tormenting over days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it; Boldness has genius, power and magic in it; Only engage, and then the mind grows heated Begin, and then the work will be completed. —Goethe.
