Friday May 2 Ogden High School Notes Today's thought: "An ounce of loyalty ia worth more than a pound of "good in­tention." The hot place is proverbially paved with good intentions. But no one cares how good the roads are down there; we do not ex­pect to do much traveling, even if we are consigned to that tor­rid clime. Today is "Loyalty" day and an effort is being made in the schools to make it a 100 per cent loyalty day. in that every boy will be in the big parade, to demon­strate our appreciation of the men of this generation who are endeavoring to make life better, richer and more worth-while to all of the men of tomorrow. In our high school we have a j slogan, "Don't make excuses, make good." Just because we are human and therefore frail, we frequently offer alibis and ex­cuses, despite our slogan, but on "Boys' loyalty day" we taboo ex­cuses and make good-justf to show that it can be done. The annual inspection of the R. O. T. C. takes place on Mon­day next at 2:30 o'clock at Tab­ernacle square. The public is in­vited to witness this inspection. GRADUATION DATES It was announced today that it has been found possible to have commencement exercises again this year in the Orpheum theatre. It is believed that the serious condition regarding the hoof and mouth disease in Californa will likely cause the cancelling of an engagement booked for Wednesday evening, May 28. In that event the commencement will be held on that date. If the can­cellation does not occur, we shall be able to hold the exercises on Tuesday evening, May 27. It is quite likely also that the baccalaureate sermon will be giv­en in the Orpheum theatre on Sunday morning, May 25, at 11 o'clock. The class members de­cided by a vast majority vote Thursday that they should like, if possible, to hold the exercises at this time and place, so that parents and relatives might be accommodated. The chemistry classes spent a goodly portion of the day Thurs­day going through the Sperry mills. . They express to the man­agement their appreciation for the courtesies extended. What promises to be one of the most interesting and most worth­while discoveries of the year is that of Dr. Harold Box, University of Toronto, concerning pyorrhea. This disease has heretofore bggn regarded as a disease of the gums. Dr. Box declares that it originate "wouM otherwise h;.io lost them.

WHAT I EXPECT OF MY BOY "That he stands well on his feet, looks you in the eye and tells you the truth; that he sleeps when he sleeps, works when he works, and plays when he plays; that he swims like a duck, sees like an eagle and runs like a deer; that he plays fair on the field, at the school and in the home; that he likes a dog, delights in woods and fields, and believes in comrades; that he admires real men, stands by his heroes, and looks up to his mother; that he sees in a violet, a sparrow or a worm the touch of the hand of j God."-Arthur Dean.
