Show Mon Feb 11 24 Ogden High School Notes The name of Margaret Bell should have appeared among the E students that were published last Wednesday. The committee in charge of the Classicalia has decided upon March 114 as the date for the grand fete and Berthana hall the place. ! The spaciousness, the beauty and the conveniences of the Berthana 'make it an ideal place for the great annual carnival dance, and the big committee working on it is deter- i mined that it shall be the grandest i affair in the history of the school. There will be something like ! eight or 10 booth concessions auctioned at Friday's assembly. The i bidding will be brisk, as the clubs are all agog to show what they can put over. There will be some unique and I novel side shows at the annual j Classicalia. As usual, ther is already much talk as to who the queen shall be this year. The committee is planning a method of electing the queen that will be highly popular and unique. It is planned to have her the choice of the entire student body and yet to I retain the mystery element which jexcites the greatest amount of curiosity possible. An exceptionally interesting assembly was held on Friday. An inspirational talk by John Wahlquist of the social science department, readings by Maxine Parker, and a violin solo by Cecil McDonald, were the outstanding features. The assembly on Friday this week will be held at 9:30 o'clock. Outside talent that will both instruct and entertain will be secured. The second year cooking class is doing some very interesting and practical work in dietaries these days. The girls are divided into groups of two, and each pair is required to prepare and cook the following: A diet for thin people. A diet for fat people. Diets for people of various occupations. A diet for invalids. A diet for the aged. A diet for the growing school child. A 10 o'clock feeding for an eight- months-old baby. A diet for a one-year-old child. A breakfast for a two-year-old child. A lunch for 10-year-old girl, etc. This work is of such paramount importance that the instructor has been asked to publish in detail, something further in these daily notes. Patrons and the general pub- I lie will be interested in knowing I what the girls are doing in thi;s de- partment. Students have a way of asking pertinent questions that sometimes baffle the teacher. For instance, in a social science class the other day, the teacher carefully explained that the higher the animal in the j scale of intelligence, the longer the j period of growth. Some animals ! attain full growth in a few weeks ! ior months, while man requires j many years. "Oh," said a pupil, "is that the j reason a girl is full grown at 18, i and a boy isn't mature until 21?" I The teacher's answer is unrecorded, j Colleges and universities usually report back to high schools the grades that the students receive I during the first year at college. The I Ihigli school received today Stan- iford university's report of the work of the three O. H. S. students for the year 1922-23. From this report a number of interesting items are "obtained. The average grade of 1261 new students was 1.51. The average grade of 452 freshmen (men) was 1.32. j The average grade of 110 freshmen (women) was 1.64. The respective grades of the three Ogden students were 2.06, 1.48 and .80. The first two were marked "satisfactory," the third "unsatisfactory." j Here is an item, too, on the re- i port that all high school teachers and pupils would do well to consider: "The records of first year students will be considered as ad- ; ditional evidence of the standing1 of preparatory schools and of their good faith and success in meeting ; ' the requirements of the university, i! and such evidence will be made use j' of in determining as to the concin- j1 uance of accrediting relations "fac- ! j ulty regulations." "By their fruits ye shall know ! them." A student's failure or sue- , jcess at college brings discredit or j i praise to his high school. The j student who makes good at high school usually makes good at col- j ,lege. I |
