Monday 2 - 25 - 24 Ogden High School Notes Today at 3:30 o'clock the O. H. S. quintet plays the Blind school hoopsters in the Weber gymnasium. Never in the history of the school has there been so much en­thusiasm for basketball as at the present time. Perhaps no more thrilling game has ever been played in Ogden than that of Fri­day night last. 1 It seemed too bad to win 12 straight games and then to have to lose one-but that 13 always waa an unlucky number-It was an un­kind fate that made that game the thirteenth! But never mind, there's some consolation in that we still have another chance. Besides all of Ogden shall enjoy the thrill of an­other hotly contested game. The tie-off game will be played either Wednesday or Thursday night in the Weber gymnasium. Studentbody tickets will not be good for this game, and no com- plimentaries are to be given out. Whatever is made will be divided equally between the two schools to replenish the depleted treasuries of the athletic departments of the schools. Th weekly assembly will be held on Thursday this week, either at 10 or 11 o'clock in order to hear Dr. Charles E. Barker, famous doc­tor and lecturer, whose services for the day have been secured by the Ogden Rotary club. Dr. Barker's subject will be "How to Make the Most Out of Life." It is said that approximately one million high school students have heard and profited by this great address. About 90 boys and 115 girls have petitioned the faculty for gradua­tion in May. It is estimated that, about 9 5 per cent of the petitions will be granted. The class will be considerably larger than any here­tofore graduated. A movement is on foot to have a "boys' night" some time in March. The athletic association i want to put on some wrestling and j boxing matches, etc,, that will give ! the fellows a thrill, such as the girls have on their "annual night." Some time during the week the students twill vote for the "Classicalia Queen." Before the voting takes place all the queen candi­ dates will be presented at a gen­eral assembly so that students may select the one regarded as most beautiful and queen-like. The appropriate time to "pat" an athlete on the back is not after a victory, but after a defeat. Only an athlete knows how that defeat "hurt" the other night, when it seemed that so much depended on I the game. But, Pshaw, why worry? the boys gave us the very' best that was in them, and we are I mighty proud of them. Their sea­son's record is splendid! Those who attended the ca.det hop are full of praise for that won­derfully clever drill that the boys put on, and also for that very ex­ceptional military band that played for us. The party is considered one of the outstanding social events of the school year. Fortunately, too, it was a financial success. Not every high school dare pull "a riot" in assembly for advertis­ing purposes. Yet that is what the students did last Friday and .it was done rather successfully. And now the University of Chi­cago has fallen in line with Ogden High schopl and has adopted one of our favorite ideas. A new dean, recently elected, said, "We have had enough of warnings to dere­lict students." He proceeded at once to hunt out excellent students and to send out "congratulations" to them. Ogden High has been fol­lowing this system for more than three years. Suggestions have come from both teachers and patrons that the high school offer hereafter a "Mechanic Arts" course. The idea is receiving favorable considera­tion. Wade Johnson, class of '07, a prominent attorney and member of the Ogden City board of education, it now appears, is another of those fortunate fellows who once sat as student under President Woodrow Wilson at Princeton university. Wade recently gave an impressive talk before one of the luncheon clubs on his impressions, as a stu­dent, of this wonderful man and teacher. Alyson Smith, athletic manager, proved himself a capable auctioneer on Friday. The concessions for Classicalia booths sold for thirteen hundred and fifty dollars.
