Show THE OGDEN STA Thurs May 15 Ogden High School Notes Thought for today: , "Folks who never do any more than they get paid for, never get paid for any more than they do." r Students only deceive them- ' selves when they think they are ; working for the teacher. The : work that one does is largely for self, no matter what credit or wage lie gets. He indeed is a poor workman s who does not get personal enjoy- I ment and satisfaction out of his work. In all commercial enterprises A advancement comes to him (1) j who enjoys his work; (2) who thinks more of his work than lie j i does of the pay envelope, and (3) ' who exercises initiative and does some things without being told. 1 TRAINING MINDS. When students quite generally do little pieces of fine work Just 1 for tlie joy of them the writing of a fine paragraph or poem, the solving of an out-of-class problem, the reading of some great book, the solution of some domestic, industrial or social problem, etc., then real education is on its way. The arts of reading, analyzing, thinking and speaking are being well developed at the high school. This fact may be verified by anyone who will .visit most any class and note the reports that stiftlents make on outside readings, observations and experiences Vf the 11 , students who entered the oratorical contest on Monday, at least four of them wrote and memorized their speeches between Thursday and Monday. This shows what students can do under pressure. Mrs. Franke and Mr. Beeson are the happiest as well as the proudest teachers at school this J week. The one says, "It's a Dodge," . tlie other. " a Buick." They are asking the city commissioner for the right of way Over Monroe and Binford avenues on Saturday when they expect to try 'em out. CREATES LAUGHS. Yesterday's thought was sup- posed to read, "Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy." The printer mis-read the last word and printed it "courting." Many students declare that it improved the thought;' a few say "not so." A teacher was trying to im- pre$s a boy the other day with the thought that he should do better school work. The following I colloquy took place: j Teacher-"What does your t father think about your grades".'"' Pupil--"I don't know." Teacher-"Doesn't he want you to do good work so you can compete in athletics?" Pupil-"I don't, know." Teacher (.exasperated)-"Well, what do you know?" Pupil-'"! know my father has been dead 10 years." Constance Curran and Lucile Nelson have been awarded certificates by the Royal Typewriting company.

' P LAST CTiASSIOUM. j®The last issue of the Classicum for the present school year was distributed Wednesday.
