Mon May 12 24 Ogden High School Notes Thought for today: "The fces part of our knowledge is that whicl teaches us where knowledge leave a off and Ignorance begins."-O. W. Holmes. r The Lewis oratorical contest i to be held Wednesday afternoon o f this week at 3 o'clock in Central Junior. State Superintendent C. N. Jensen has consented to appoin judges for the contest. The O. H. S. sponsors were re ; cipients of many compliments oi i their appearance at the review ii Salt Lake last Wednesday. The ap pripriateness, the neatness and th niftiness of their uniforms ccca sioned much favorable comment. UNUSUAL ACTION. Lester Hinchcliff has been reci pient of many compliments for thi splendid artistic production of th opera "Martha" last Friday eve j ning at the high school. An interesting though iathe: unusual feature noted at the con 3 cert was the applauding of the con ductor, Mr. Hinchcliff. We re­ft garded this as highly appropriate and we dare say that his approval y meafit quite as much to the per- e formers as the approval of the en- y tire audience. i - Mr. Hinchcliff has worked ardu- ,f ously for weeks with the orchestra and glee clubs and when he saic by his applause "Thank you, you s. did that well," it gave them th r encouragement and spirit thai g- helps wonderfully. 3 Students appreciate teachers whe assign them difficult tasks, and t who offer the word of commenda- tion for work that is particularly well done. FOR LARGER PARADE. Supt. W. Karl Hopkins com- mended the principals, tcachers and pupils last week on the magnifi­cent parade of May 2. He advises that it Will be bigger and better ! than ever next year and suggests j that each school have a suitable i float or introduce some novelty'ele- ment that will add variety and I beauty to the performance. It promises to become an annual spectacular performance of far- reaching consequences. After the parade a stranger ask­ed a business man: "What is the population of Ogden?'' "Forty thousand," he replied. "Forty thousand, Lord, there were more than 40,000 boys in that parade!" PARENTS' DAY. The committee on "Parents' , Day" will make their recommenda- , tions to the faculty today. It is L likely that Thursday, M,ay 22, will be the day selected for entevtain- 5 ment of parents and of exhibiting . school work. J The Forum club will give a din­ner tonight in the Spanish room of i the Reed hotel. R. O. T. C. work will close at t the end of this week. Competitive j drill of the different companies for , the Kanzler cup will mark the clos- . ing on Thursday and Friday mornings. D. Wangsgard is planning a visit of his sociology classes to the state . industrial school ar.d the city jail . this week. FLOWERS COSTLY. Sunday was Mothers' day. We sincerely hope that it was observed by every high school student in that some little unusual courtesy or act of kindness was shown mother It is a matter of regret that Mothers' day has been commercial­ized. to such an extent that its fu­ture observance is threatened. A week ago a dozen carnations cost $1. The latter part of the week $2 or more per dozen was asked. Sloga,ns at the high school have become popular. Students' com­positions eloquent in their appeal are now decorating the black­boards. "We love our dear teacher." "The teacher's assignment is just, but we can.do nothing for her." "Do unto your teacher as he does unto you." "This class is a teacher-loving one." AT LUNCHEON. The third year French class had a delightful luncheon on Thursday last in the school dining room. The room was artistically decorated with the French colors-blue, white and red. The centerpiece consist­ed of bouquets of red and white tulips, and a blue bouquet of vio- . lets. A small French flag was given to each guest. Miss Katherine Kay acted as hostess and was awarded a prize for speaking th§ best French. French only was spoken at the dinner. PICK LIFE'S WORK. Cards were filled out by 186 sen­iors on Friday morning lasc an­swering a questionnaire of the j Agricultural college, with the pur- I pose of showing the vocation 'which students hope to enter. One fact is patent, a rather small proportion know definitely what they expect to make their life work. The trend of inclination however, was definitely shown. A surprising feature is that the largest number expect to make teaching their profession. It ap­pears that teachers are making teachers. The second largest group elect engineering; third, business management. Those who elect teaching number 48, engineering 24 and business management 22. The others" chose professions as follows: Accounting 21, medicine 16, home making 11, journalism 11, nursing 7, mechanics 6, secretarial work 6, art 6, musicians 4, dairy­ing 3, stock-raising 2, home dem-, onstration 2, science 2, dentistry 2, traffic manager 1, salesmanship 1. FRIENDSHIP. Friendship is that bond of trust that exists between persons who are to each other as cpen books. That is the only real friendship, though there are many other seem­ing amities- that exist only while one or the other parties receive benefit. Hence, there is no one but cherishes an honest friendship; for when one man can revea! his innermost thoughts and emotions to his companion, and know at the same time that that idea wil' not be betrayed, then there is a sense of security and integrity that noth­ing else can provide. WThen a friend is called a man's "better- half" no finer name could possi- 'bly be applied, because when a man has one of his kind with whom to share his griefs and joys he feels that life is more and more worth while, for as Bacon says: "No receipt openeth the heart but a true friend."
