Earl Murray Mrs. Florence Newcomb Faculty Advisor THE CLASSICALIA For the past few years there has been a movement upon the part of some people either to reform or do away with the Ogden High School annual carnival dance, the Classicalia. Several years ago a committee waited on the Board of Education to have the queen elected by popular, rather than money vote. This suggestion was carried into effect. But not satisfied with that, now they wish to abolish the fete altogether. The Classicalia naturally draws crowds of every sort. Young people from all parts of the city attend. With such miscellaneous attendance, some undesirables get in. But the whole affair should not be condemned because a few misbehave. Our dance hall is far too small to accomodate the crowds that attend the Classicalia. When fifteen hun¬dred people are jammed into the space we have it is no wonder that one gets somewhat jostled and ruf¬fled. We need a Classicalia. Without the funds which we get from this affair we can not put out a high class year book. It is\ an essential part of our -social regime. This year it will be staged at the White City, which will of course afford more room. But it will also draw a lar-ger and more mixed crowd. It will be impossible to conduct this affair unless the whole student body co¬operates to make it the well-ordered success it should be. If every high school student who attends is his own policeman and sees to it that he and his companions do not misbe¬have, the public will be unable to condemn this Classicalia. Students, do you want1 Classicalia in the future? It is up to you. Make this year's Classicalia bigger and better than ever before, but keep it clean. Show Ogden there's nothing the matter with us! —O-H-S— CHANGING PLACES WITH MEN In these modern days when women are allowed the privileges of men, and most of the old time chivalry has ceased to be, some people say that customs should allow a girl to invite a fellow to go out with her. They argue that, if girls are pals with the opposite sex they should be allowed to treat them exactly as they do their girl friends. No doubt to some wall-flower type especially, such a suggestion would be received with open arms. But what would be the ultimate results of such a privilege? Every thing would be reversed, turned upside down, the traditions of the races over-thrown, for once give a girl the right of way and you "can't see her for smoke." The girls would become the pursuers, the men the pursued. Surely the modern girl with her flapper ways is bold and bad enough without completely changing places with her erstwhile suitor. Every girl knows the many subtle arts of flatter and flirtation, and she knows that whether she "gets" the men is up to her. Its always been her fault when men went wrong, any way, so why make her-more culpable? In all nature it is the male who does the courting, so should modern civilization overturn natural laws? Shall the mfen wash dishes and the women buy the candy? No, better leave the world alone. The percentage of old maids is small, anyhow. MY TRIP ABROAD Continued From Last Issue Many other places of fame and his¬torical interest were visited in Lon¬don, including to Scotland Yard, the famous headquarters of the London police. The London bridges were not omitted and a boat ride on the Thames past the Parliament buildings and under the seven bridges of the river was another feature of a day's sightseeing. We paid a visit to the Bank of England, one of the greatest and oldest banks in the world. Its vaults usually contain about twenty million pounds in gold and silver. Leicester Square was often visited by us, this being the theatrical centre of London. This square derives its name from Leicester House, a resi¬dence of George II. Much time and money was spent in Regent Street, the shopping district of London. Pic¬cadilly Circus is one of the busiest spots on the globe. Some of us came near being lost in the maze of traffic in spite of the fact that we were Americans, but we were assisted by the London "bobbies." A ride through Fleet street was an interesting experience. This is the center of the journalistic world in London, nearly all the great news¬papers and publications having /their offices in or near it. At the Palace of Whitehall we saw j the famous "Horse-guards," the mounted guardsmen who patrol the building. They are completely armed and arrayed in handsome . uniforms. The old ceremony of changing the guard is very interesting. It was in front of this Palace that the unfor¬tunate Charles I was beheaded On the first Sunday of our arrival in London we were paraded in the morning to St. Paul's Cathedral, where services were conducted, for j the benefit of all of us. Many famous persons are buried beneath the j great dome of this cathedral. The architect of St. Paul's was Sir Chris¬topher Wren, and this stately build¬ing is rightly deemed his masterpiece. The huge organ of the cathedral is one of the finest in the world, it contains 4,822 pipes. The chair stalls and organ case were carved by Grin- ling Gibbons. Throughout the aisles and transepts is a wealth of monu¬ments- to Britain's mighty dead. We were often paraded through London, and with the Denver band "of fifty pieces at our head playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever" we awoke the old prejudices which every good Britisher holds for every good Yank. We stayed in London three weeks, not only visiting places of interest in the city of London, but also histori ;ally famous places outside of Lon don, and as it proved, there were a very great many things of interest to see; for instance, Crystal Palace, which is built entirely of glass with a steel frame. It is said that there is enough glass in this building to go across the Atlantic several times. Surrounding the palace is a vast park, in which are many places of amuse¬ment. At one place, was a little booth where a man sold baseballs, three for six-pence, which ^entitled the holder to three shots at a group of cocoanuts raised on sticks about twelve inches from the ground. The poor man nearly went broke, for when some of our baseball stars started to pitch the cocoanuts fell like hail-stones. Crystal Palace con¬tains one of the greatest museums of the World war. On Sunday, July 25th, a special corridor train carried us via Willes- den Junction, Action and the famous old university town of Oxford to Stratford-on-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare. The train left London early in the morning and arrived about noon, and was met at the sta¬tion by the mayor and the Local Cor¬poration and a guard of honor com¬posed of British Boy Scouts. The party was so large that arrangements were made for half of the party to do the sightseeing while the other half had luncheon. When we who had lunched first, had finished our meal we started to visit the historic old spots, leaving our places at the able to our hungry comrades. Visits vere made to the house, where in 564, Shakespeare was born. On the >ld leaden colored windows of this louse which has been very well pre- erved, we saw carved the names of everal great persons, such as Walter 5cott, who had visited the house of he greatest writer that ever lived, /isits were also made to the beauti- ul old church and the Memorial rheater. At 2:30 we boarded a special train or Warwickshire, arriving there at i:15. With the Denver band at our lead we marched to Warwick Castle, vhere we were met by Mrs.' Henry V. Marsh whose present home is in he historic structure. A band which Vlrs. Marsh had engaged, escorted is from the gates to the Castle and flayed for us throughout the after- loon. WTe formed on the lawn in ront of the castle and a large group picture was taken. Guides took up n small groups through the castle md everything of interest was viewed :rom the deepest dungeon to the top- nost turret, not omitting the gorg¬eous peacocks that strutted on the awns. After an exhibition drill on the lawn, tea was served by Mrs. Marsh while the local band played Familiar airs. -An American delicacy, which, was greatly appreciated was found in the half-dozen large baskets of roasted peanuts, but soon after their discovery there remained no traces of them except their shells, strewn far and wide. We entrained at 6:30 on a special train via Leam¬ington Spa, and that ancient tawn, Banbury,' of which we heard in child¬hood days in the old rhyme: "Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross," and Oxford', arriving in London at 9:30. On Tuesday the 27th, we were the guests of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress at the Guildhall, and a hearty welcome was extended to us on behalf of the city of London. One of the notable events of the week was the unveiling of the Lin¬coln Statute in the square facing Westminster Abbey. The Honorable Elihu Root, former Secretary of State, representing the American peo¬ple, presented the statue to Great Britain, and the gift was accepted by the Honorable David Lloyd George, Prime Minister, on behalf of the Brit¬ish nation. By forming a cordon around the statue, we assisted the police in handling the large crowd, and our band had a prominent place on the program of the exercises. The rest of the week was occupied in preparing for the great Jamboree, a part of one day being taken to move our camp from Mildmay Park to Richmond, Old-deer Park. _'I was on the detail that accompanied _ the trucks to the new camp, and in a pouring rain we slowly wound our way through Hyde Park past Buck¬ingham Palace to the camp, which was indeed a curious sight. Several thousand foreign scouts were en¬camped here, Scotch, Irish, French. Belgian, South African, Armenian, Czecho-slovakian, Italian, and many others, there being thirty-four na¬tions represented, and all of them wore "shorts"! We were the only ones who wore long breeches. The Scotch were a source of much laugh¬ter, with their kilts and bare knees. As for us, we stopped laughing when we were issued "shorts," which left us bare kneed to the wind. We soon made many acquaintances, and min¬gled freely with the other scouts, trading buttons, insignia, strips oi clothing and uniforms as souvenirs We were especially friendly with the Scotch and Irish scouts, whose tents were next to ours. Our first morning in camp was ex¬traordinary; we were awakened about six o'clock, by the strangest noises, which might have been called musi¬cal; we jumped out of our cots and rushed out into the company streets, and what should we see! Five hun¬dred Scotchmen on full parade through the camp, with a band of fifty bag-pipes at their head. This was a very interesting and pictur¬esque sight; I shall never forget the tall lanky bass drummer, who kept the band in time, by juggling in the most skillful manner two large drum sticks, throwing them high in the air and twirling them like a windmill, with his long arms swinging to the tune of the bag-pipes. The camp at Richmond was a com¬fortable one, near the banks of the Thames river, which occasionally played an important part in a heavy rain, by flooding the entire place. —O-H-S— SMILE (Song to the tune of "The Battle of the Republic.")
