Tues May 6 Ogden High School Notes THOUGHT FOR TODAY. There's music in the sighing of a reed; " There's music in the gushing of a rill; n There's music in all things, if men had ears; s Their earth is but an echo of the spheres. -Byron. The high school is lending its bit toward making this week- music week-all that could be l hoped for; music every day, every­where and of the best that we are capable of producing. CONCERT ENJOYED. The wonderful concert given by the band Monday night was a good beginner. It was only a fore- r taste of what is coming. The band was heard again this 1 morning to good advantage at the 7 R. O. T. C. review. Many have 3 remarked that the high school s band is the best band the school j has ever produced. ZI In keeping with "Music Week" ' the assembly on Friday will be devoted wholly to music. Ninety-four and two-tenths per cent of all high school boys were 3 represented in the parade on Friday last A five dollar prize 3 awaits the school with the highest r average attendance, and we rather think the high school won it.

THE RELIGION OF A HIGH SCHOOL BOY. Students, teachers and parents are invited to read a very inter­esting article in the Atlantic for May, on a boy's idea of religion, written by a 17-year-old boy in high school. It is a very illumin­ating article on a much misun­derstood subject. Here is an excerpt or two: I "Deep within himself a boy may have a strong and fine religious i sense. He may be just as religious i in his own way as the minister is in his, but he shrinks from the thought of expressing it." "Most boys hate to show their feelings on religion. They will discourse on football, or politics, or camping, but if the conversa­tion is turned to religion, they re­tire within themselves, fortified by an adamant barrier of reserve." Being no longer of Sunday school age, we cease to be thrilled by the story of David and Goliath. We are no longer interested in Joseph and his brethren. We wish Moses had stayed in the bullrushes. Neither have we hridg-ed the gap between childhood and maturity sufficiently to enjoy the serene faith of older people. We are in a state of religious adolescence. A boy is not devoted to the par- i ticular division of the church to which he and his parents may be- j long. Boys on the wiioie are more tolerant in a religious way than j the majority of their elders. The i boy regards another fellow who belongs to a different denomina­tion in much the same way that be might think of him if he went to another school or college. He has different cheers, a different atmosphere', and slightly different teaching, but he is there for the same purpose, so what he calls himself is of small matter. SWEATERS ORDERED. Seniors have received invitations to participate in high school daj' at agricultural college at Logan on Friday, May 9, and also at high school day, University of Utah, Friday, May 16. Elaborate pro­grams of entertainment are being arranged at both schools. Sweaters for the rifle team are being ordered today. They will be open sweaters, V-neck, with pockets. Each boy's initials on right-hand pocket. Service stripes will be upon the left sleeves four inches from the cuff. On the left breast will be the letter O with rifles crossed. ELECTION PETITIONS.
