Monday April 28 24 Ogden High School Notes Today's thought: "In life as in a football game, j the principle to follow is: Hit ! the line hard; don't foul and don't shirk, but hit the line hard." -Theodore Roosevelt. This is Boys' week, during which the minds of the entire nation are to be turned toward the proper training and education of boys. Incidentally it has been suggested that the girls "listen in" and appropriate to themselves evry wholesome thing that is of­fered to the boys as whatever is good for the gander is good for the goose. Games, athletics, sports are good for a boy , because they develop a strong body-a fit home for a strong mind-also they train the mind to be alert, quick, respons­ive, vigorous. When students learn to tackle every life task with the same en­ergy they are taught to tackle their apponents in the football game; when they learn to buck the problem of- life with the vigor and determination that they buck the line in football, we shall have a new day in education and a stronger and more successful race. Theodore Roosevelt has been called a typical American. We think this is far from true. He is an outstanding American-a very uncommon one-who ex­emplified the characteristics that eveiy boy should possess, but which, as a matter of fact, are rarely found. PROM SUCCESSFUL Much credit is due the officers of the junior class, for the very able manner in which the annual prom was handled. The party was an unqualified success. The custom of complimenting the seniors annually with a social affair of such outstanding merit as the junior prom of Friday eve­ning last, is a very commendable one. We didn't startle the world with phenomenal records at the invi­tational meet at Provo, but we did win some honors, and en­joyed the contests. All the pleas­ure of athletics does not go to "first place" winners. In athletics as in life, "to do one's very best" is good enough. If one cannot get first place, be glad of the second; and if second is not obtainable, be glad, at least, that there is a third place. The athletic meet next Friday afternoon, coming as the climax of the celebration of Boys' week and sponsored a it is by all the clubs of Ogden, will be the great­est event of its kind ever staged in Ogden. AT RECITAL Ogden City teachers are to be guests of Glen Bros.-Roberts Pi­ano company tomorrow evening from 8 to 9 o'clock, at a musi­cal recital. A large number of the high school teachers have signified intentions of being pres­ent. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Beeson were delighted on Thursday evening, last, to hear their daughter, Jessie (Mrs. Harold Freeman), singing in Los Angeles. Joseph Sangberg, Harold Christensen and George Coolidge are all eager to enter West Point mili­tary academy next fall. George has been practically assured of his appointment, and the others are very hopeful that their appli­cations will receive favorable con­sideration. BECOME IMPATIENT The wire to The Standard-Ex­aminer that the announcement of the Hearst shoot will not be made until Sunday, May 4, has been rather disconcerting to Ogden peo­ple. To many it means, "We have- lost first place"; to others it means "We have won." Hold your breath I Captain L. E. Ryder is inclined to believe the holding back of the news is not any sort of a joke; that it's almost too much for human endurance to be kept in awful suspense for 19 days. Three additional names have been added'to the graduation list, bringing the total up to 252. The Rotary club at Brigham City is giving all students a free picture show as a minor feature of Boys' week celebration. FACULTY CHANGES Miss Mary Watkins has decided to sever her connections with the Ogden High school On account of her parents having removed to California, and she desires to b6 near them. Miss Gladys Barlow will not be ; listed among the faculty mem­bers next year, as she has been.' tendered a fine position as home i maker for a prominent lonely young business man of Ogden. The student body president, Bill Petty, expects to spend the sum­mer on a ranch in Canada, pre­paratory to a long grind of five or six years in some dental or medi­cal school. A. R. Croft has recently made a graph of grades of O. H. S. students at college and at high school. It shows that students get lower ratings at college than at high school. This is rather general, we pre­sume, throughout the country, j The contact with teachers in high j school is more personal and inti-; mate than at college, and this naturally leads teachers to have j higher estimate and appreciation 1 of the students' work. There will be assembly at 12:30 Tuesday. Fred G. Taylor will be: the speaker.
