THE O. H. S. TIGER, FEBRUARY 14, 1923. Page 5 SOCIETY The Apha Omega club held a usicale February 1, and after a short isiness meeting, the main feature of e program, a talk on "Modern Music," was given by Miss Miriam Cain. This was one of the most teresting talks ever given in high cliool. The technique, characteris- ;s and composers of modern music ere thoroughly explained and il- istrated by Miss Cain with descript- e piano pieces. The members of le club hope to have the program epi ated in the near future for the encfit of the student body. The Sponsors' box party last Fri- ay evening was one that will me re- tenibered for a long time. Those resent included Mrs. Captain Ryder, Major Myrene Rich, Captain Kathryn Fisher, Captain Blanche Walberg, Captain Roma Knight, Lieutenant Edna Mae Booker, Lieutenant Madge Ashton and Captain Louise Zeller. Mtrr the first performance and the great Blackstone's act, the sponsors leaded to see the show through for lie second time. Myrene hasn't igiircd the handkerchief trick out yet. Following the theater party, lunch nras served at Potters and then the fcarty were th eguests of Mrs. Ryder bt her home on Twenty-fourth street. Well it happened thus—the spon¬sors decided to hold a class for the iadets who wished to learn to dance, kind, therefore, seLasid'e every Tues¬day night. At the home of Miss Kathryn Fisher on Van Buren ave., Ehe sponsors hold a class every fruesday from seven to nine thirty, he class has preached a total of [fifteen members and we are in hopes fit will increase before the next les¬son. All cadets who wish to learn pefore the annual cadet hop, are re- Muesti-d to speak to Miss Fisher [about enrolling. Ask the Drum [Major and Ed Swenson if they enjoy [their lessons! Don't be. bashful, cadets. The sponsors are the. only oiii .-i present when class starts. The pupils so far are learning fast and gaining added grace each lesson. \ , Which reminds me—were you at the officers' and non-coms' party Feb¬ruary 3? If you weren't you missed a mighty enjoyable evening. The cadets and officers all turned out in full uniform which added to the military atmosphere. The sponsors were also there "en masse," and in regular uniform. Music was furnished by four of the "Happy Six" orchestra and dancing continued until twelve. Many bashful cadets blossomed forth thai night and danced for the first time. (This no doubt, was a direct result of the sponsors' school of dancing). Everyone is looking for-ward to the cadet hop os the import¬ant social function of the school year, anr here's hoping we have as pleasant an evening then as we did with the officers and non-coms. Miss Blanche Walberg's departure [ will be keenly felt on the part of the sponsors and student body at large, j I The sponsors wish you luck, Blanche, in your new home, and hope to be ; remembered by you. Welcome, Dorothy Scowcroft! As I sponsor to Co. C to succeed Miss Blanche Walberg, the sponsor club I takes this opportunity to greet you ! and wish you the remainder of a f successful year with the R. O. T. C. unit. We are glad to hear that two of our former classmates, now at col- le.;e, haye joined well-known fratern¬ities. Herbert Adams attending the U. of C. at Berkeley has joined the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter of that city I and from recent reports is comfortably settled in his new frat house. Floyd Thomas of the A. C. of Logan has been pledged Sigma Alpha and is also living at the frat house. —O-H-S— GAMMA KAPPA At the last meeting of Gamma Kappa, officers were elected for the next semester, as follows: William Hutchings, president; Kathleen ! Quinn, secretary; and Alice Pack, treasurer; Ruth Lyons, commissioner | of social affairs; and Ross Sampson, commissioner of membership. The plans were discussed concern¬ing the assembly, which is to be pre- [ sented the latter part of February. A committee was appointed to work out the program. They reported it | as a unique one, characteristic of that organization. MY TRIP ABROAD (Continued from last issue) The Circlet or Coronet of pearls and diamonds was made for the coro¬nation of Mary of Modena, Queen Consort and second wife of James II. The crown made for Mary of Modena was altered afterward for the coronation of Mary II and Wil¬liam III. St. Edward's crown, which appears to be the model by which all the later crowns have been fashioned, was made for the coronation of Charles II. The Prince of Wales' gold coronet has a single arch. The larger orb of gold, with a cross and band of jewels was made for Charles II. The smaller orb, of gold, set with jewels and pearls was made for the coronation of Mary II and William III. St. Edwards staff, a sceptre of gold, four feet seven inches in length is surmounted by an orb which is sup¬ported to contain or to have con¬tained a fragment of the true cross. The Royal sceptre with the cross, of gold ,and jewels which is borne in largest diamond in the world. The Queen's sceptre, and the scep¬tre, and the sceptre with the dove of gald and jewels which os borne in the left hand of the sovereign at the coronation is also the Queen's coro¬nation sceptre. A pair of gold "St. George's Spurs ' is the emblem of Knighthood and Chivalry. A pair of gold and enamelled bracelets worn as emblems of sover- j eignty made for Charles II were re enamelled for subsequent coronations. The ancient anointing spoon, dating j from the end of the twelfth century was perhaps made for the coronation of King John. The state sword of Edward VII. Fifteen State Trumpets of silver, dat¬ing for the most part from the 19th century, was made in 1870-81. We next came to the White Tower or Keep, the oldest part of the whole fortress. The Conqueror, before he entered London, formed a camp east¬ward of the city and probably on part of the ground now occupied by the tower. Immediately after his coronation he commenced the works here. At first, no doubt they con¬sisted of a ditch and palisade, and were enclosed within the lines of the old city wall, first built by the Romans, and repaired in 885 by King Alfred. The work of building the Keep was intrusted to Gundulf, a monk of Bec, in Norway, who was shortly afterward-s made Bishop of Rochester, and who probably com¬menced operations in 1078. In 1097, under William Rufus, the works were still going on. A great storm in 1091 damaged the outworks. Ralf Flambard, Bishop of Durham, being imprisoned in the keep by Henry I, contrived to escape, 1101. During the wars between Stephen and Matilda, the Earl of Ezzex was constable of the Tower and obtained a grant even of the city of London. When he fell into Stephen's hands the Tower formed his ransom, and the citizens regained their ancient liberties. When Richard I was absent on the crusades his Regent, Long- champs, resided in the Tower, of which he greatly enlarged the pre¬cinct by trespasses on the land of the city and of St. Katherine's Hos¬pital. He surrendered the Tower to the citizens led by John in 1191. The whole Tower was held in pledge for the completion of the Magna Carta in 1215 and 1216. In 1241 Henry III had the chapel of St. John decorated with painting and stained glass and the Royal Apart¬ments in the Keep were whitewashed, as well as the whole exterior. During the wars with France many illus¬trious prisoners were lodged here, as David, King of Scots; John, King of France; Charles of Blois, and John Dienne, Governor of Calais, and his twelve brave burgesses. In the Tow¬er. Richard II signed his abdication, 1399. The Duke of Orleans, taken at Agincourt, was lodged by Henry V in the White Tower. From that time, the Beauchamp and other Towers were more used as prisons, but it is probable that some of the Kentish Rebbles, taken with Wyatt in 1554, slept in the recesses of the sub-crypt of the Chapel. In 1663, and later years down to 1709, structural re¬pairs were carried out under super¬intendence of Sir Christopher Wren, who replaced the Norman window openings with others of a classical character. The outer walls of the Tower vary in thickness from fifteen feet in the ; lower to eleven feet in the upper story; the whole building being cros¬sed from north to south by one wall, which rises from base to summitt and divides it into a large western and eastern portion. The eastern part is further sub-divided by a wall which cuts off St. John's Chapel, its Crypt, and its sub-Crypt. There is a wooden floor between each of the stories of the other part. In a stair case in the thickness of the wall, on the south side, children's bones were ' found in thp reign of Charles II. They were identified, somewhat conjecturally, with the re¬mains of Edward V and his brother who disappeared so mysteriously ait the accession of Richard III, and were remover ta Westminster Abbey in 1678. Up to the time of Elizabeth, armor and military stores were kept in the White Tower, and in the y?ar 1580 orders were given to hang up all the armor here. It should be borne in mind, however, that this armor was for practical use and in no way formed the ornamental exhibitions shown in the Tower from the seven¬teenth Century onwards. In the reign of William and Mary, th Grand Storehouse was built on the site of the present barracks, and here all the service arms were stored while the now obsolete armors were exhibited in the building southeast of the White Tower. The Storehouse was destroyed by fire in 1841. In 1827 this exhibition was removed to a new edifice built on the south side of the White Tower a deplorable ex¬crescence, which was demolished in 1883. (To be continued) COMMERCIAL CLUB TO HOLD MEETINGS ON TUESDAYS The Commercial club of. the Ogden high school will hold its weekly meet¬ings on Tuesday afternoon at 2:45 in¬stead of on Wednesday, as has here¬tofore been their practice. The rea¬son for the change in days is that there is a class in Officer Training on Wednesday afternoon the ninth period. Many members of the club are attending this class. Last Tuesday a short business meeting was held. Sam Friedman and Pedigo Voll were taken into the club as new members. Bob Martin was voted in as an honorary member to succeed Miss Blanche Walberg. Miss Walberg is leaving the city and the club is very sorry to lose her from its roll. After the business meeting a very interesting program of songs, readings and stunts was presented by the club members. Next Tuesday the club plans to visit theplant of the Ogden Baking- Company. All members are expected to go. They are to meet at the corner of Washington avenue and Twenty-fifth street at 4 o'clock. These visits to the different plants in and about Ogden have proved very interesting and beneficial to the club. Hebrew: "Any old rags today, sir?" Husband: "No, my wife is away in the country."
