Earl Murray Mrs. Florence Newcomb Faculty Advisor "life- The twentieth century with its jazz, its automobiles and airoplanes, has ushered in an age when speed in every thing' predominates, and he who is lacking in that quality is drop¬ped by the wayside. The ancient Greeks built upa mar¬velous civilization, but they left out of it those elements of movement that so characterizes the world today. Everything those ancients did was done in a slow, plodding manner. Out of every bit of work or play the ful¬lest measure of its worth was ex¬tracted. To the Greek, life was sorae- th ing to be wondered at and enjoyed. A life time seemed long to them. They lived its space in contentment and died in peace. What a contrast with civilization as we know it today. Out very lives are planned in the way that will en¬able us to go the fastest. We do not "waste" our time lingering over one thing, we but glance at every¬thing, and so fill up our existence with smatterings. We rush around the world in a few days by aeroplane, but what do we get? A birdseye view. That's it! As we dash madly on in our headlong race with time we get a birds-eye view of every¬thing. We have not time to see things and "take them in," there is too much else we want to see and do So we go on. Those who can not stand the pace are swallowed up in oblivion, it is another case of the "survival of the fittest." But speed is not making us happy. It is mak-ing us restless. We go along gain¬ing momentum until suddenly we go to pieces—it is the end. -O-H-S— ARRANGING DATES FOR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES It seems that the Cadet Hop in the Ogden High School is getting to be a thing of the past. It has been an annual affair and a big one, but this year something else came along and took first place in the council rating. The date for the Cadet Hop had been shifted around and rearranged and fixed again until it is very doubt¬ful as to whether we will have a Hop this year or not. If we do not, the school will lose prestige. If we do have a Hop, it will be bigger and better than any previous Hop. A great deal of work has already been put in on the affair. Exhibition companies have been drilling, tickets have been printed, the hall has been arranged for and in fact everything is in readiness. The council says give your dance earlier or postpone it a month, for there are other things beside the Hop. So the annual cadet hop must either be satisfied with sec¬ond choice in the school or not be held. —O-H-S— HONESTY Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if a school could be run on an honor system? Honesty will get you further in the long run. Many people think only of the present and forget about the future. They do not stop to think that any¬one can be watching them during their younger life. Students in high school are watched very closely. The high school is in a way an employment agency, or we might say and information booth. Our own high school gets calls every day asking about the character of students. Are we honest? That is the biggest and most fundamental question that is asked. I noticed a little occurence last week, when the Tigers were pub¬lished. That is a perfect example of honesty. A girl received a Tiger from one of the fellows who was dis¬tributing them among the classes. She had forgotten her student ticket but promised to come down to the Tiger office at noon and pay for the paper. Did she come? She did. Ask yourselves if you would do this same honest act. —O-H-S— A MERE COMPARISON We noticed in the Standard-Examiner several days ago that some Seniors in a certain high school back east attempted to burn down their $280,000 school building by placing sulphur candles in the waste baskets in fourteen rooms, so that they would not have to take their examinations. After noticing this article we wonder what those same students would do if they attended the Ogden High School. They would no doubt spare the school and take the exams. —O-H-S— sophomores "Les Sophomores sont la mieux de tout les classes de 1'ecole." Whozezoe? "Les Sophomores." ' Uuff sed! "Now, children ain't that swell Francais?" Not only the "grammaire" de _ la (?) sentence but also the underlying fundamental trooth. All the jooyenile • wunders of the yooniverse is centered . in this one clawss. And as for am- bishun we wall say in unison "Toot bien oo vien." (Nope, we're not French, Wawriss, we're just stylish. Everybody talks that way wot's got any upbringin'). After we beat them Juniors in ath¬letics we'll be "de toot." All them Juniors and Seniors, and oh yes the Freshies, energy goes into fizeek, while in us it develups scholarship, attendance, popularity, loveliness, etc., etc., etc. "Ness Paw?" Soon we'll be soopreem roolers m everything at this ecole and then won't we have fun? Now, anyone who has been dare devilish enuf to peruse this article thus far has at last encountered the keenote of the colyum which is: Sophomores first, last, always and in the footure. P. S. Notice our fine asortment oi laffing material. (Jokes). —O-H-S— JOKES Elderly Gent: What are you cry¬ing about?" Little boy: "My father hit his fsn- ( ger with a hammer." Elderly Gent: Well, well, that's too bad, but you shouldn't cry, you should laugh." Small boy: "I did." There is a Flapper's new song hit ; out entitled; "Lay Your Tweezers on the Shelf, 'Till Your Eyebrown Meet. Again." Laugh and the class laughs with you; but you stay after school alone. Years ago they got the buggy and went sparking. Now they get the auto and go parking. As Shakespeare, the great philoso¬pher, once said, "You can string beans and kid gloves, but you can't j bull—frogs. "I was sick in bed last Tuesday." "Anything serious?" "No only a history test." Freshie—Behold me in the flower of manhood. Soph:—Yes, you blooming idiot! In the midst of his speech, realiz¬ing that he had no supporters, he sat down. Mr. Barrett: "Wake that fellow Max C. "Aw, no; you do it—you put him to sleep." next to you, will you?" GLEE'S FROM THE GLEE CLUBS The Glee Clubs are in better con¬dition now than they have ever been before. The Opera will be presented at the Orpheum Theater in April. An augmented orchestra will ac-company it and it is expected to be a great success. Several High School students have principal parts—Franklin Richards, Eugene Greenwell, Milford Picott, Alvin Donaldson, Irene Merrill and Lucile Olsen. Sixty chorus girls and boys selected from the combined Glee Clubs will take part. Professor Hinchcliff will have charge of all the musical numbers and Mark Robinson, Superintendent of Music in the Ogden Schools, will direct it. The choruses have been practiced together for the past week. Every Friday from now until the Opera will be called Pinafore day. The Glee Clubs will have special luncheons prepared by Mrs. Sprague in the Cafeteria, on Fridays. They will be called Pinafore Luncheons. —O-H-S— SOME INSIDE DOPE ON THE ALPHA OMEGA'S The Alpha Omega Club publishes its first issue of the club magazine, "The Scribbler," Thursday, March 8, The contents included short stories, book reviews of modern novels, poetry, and essays. The staff of the paper is as follows;, Eleanor Agee, editor-in-chief; Margaret Garrison, literary editor; Elva King, society and'joke editor, and Evelyn Palmer, /art editor. The Scribbler is bound and placed in the library where it may be read. The club members believe that this paper will prove of interest to every student of Ogden Pligh School. At the club meeting last Thursday a | very interesting program was given on the "American Drama." Miss Eleanor Kidder, gave, a short talk on the technique of thai one-act play. Miss Vera Jones read an essay, American Drama and 'Dramatists." Miss WTatkins read Yeat's play, "The Hour Glass." After a short discussion as to the admission of new members and the Easter Party to be given by the .club, the meeting was adiourned. —O-H-S— OGDEN TIGERS R—Stands for Rudy, our center so tall S—Stands for Smitty, the best for¬ward of all B—Stands for Billy, Bobbie, and Bennie Guess where they're from and I'll give you a penny. —A.

For Those Who Care Brown9s Delicia Ice Cream More than satisfies It's smooth Velvety taste has created a perpetual demand. Brown Ice Cream Co. PHONE 315 G. A. A. WINS RECOGNITION Brilliant lights, unique costumes, and merry throngs formed a pleasing background for one of the most ef¬fective ceremonies that has ever been witnessed by the people of Ogden; , namely, the unveiling, at the Classi¬calia, of the "mystery queen." Pre¬ceded and followed by maids and slaves the queen passed up the aisle made by the admiring spectators, to a large platform beautifully draped and curtained with green. After sev¬eral befitting formalities, the veils were lifted from the faces of the ! queen and her six maids who were immediately recognized as Madge Ashton, the bewitching sovereign, and I Dorothy Gibson, Louise Zeller, Kath¬ryn Kay, Edna Mae Booker, Helen Carver, and Lucile Olsen, her equally charming maids. Those who danced for the queen's pleasure were Fern Fuller, Florence Morris, Bernice Harris, Bertha Eccles, and six, slave girls who were Kathryn Huss, Melba Johnston, I Eleanor Newey, Marian Shaw, Frances Pedlar, and Marindy Greenwell. From, her lofty throne the queen I also viewed and judged the social I dancing and awarded prizes to the I best dancers and to the best cos- I turned couple. The costume of the queen and her I attendants were patterned after the I Oriental styles and were very bril- I liant and costly looking. I Although the Girls' Athletic Association had no booth at the Classicalia, I it was through its efforts that this I beautiful and spectacular ceremony I was conducted. This was its contri- I bution to the entertainment, and it I can be safely said that it will be long I remembered, and will bring renown I and recognition to the organization. —O-H-S— A VISITOR'S OPINION OF OGDEN (A True Incident) During the Ogden Livestock Show, I three particular men arrived at the I Union Depot. They decided to see I the city while waiting for their train. While they were standing on the corner of Twenty-fifth and. Wall avenue, a car came around wth the sign, If "To the Sanitarium." Soon after this another one came bearing the sign, "To the Dee Hospital." In a few more minutes another one came carrying the sign, "To the Mountain View Cemetery." The men turned around and dashed back into the I depot saying, "This is no place for us; everyone is either sick, dying or dead.
