Show 4-24-24 Thurs Ogden High School Notes Thought for today: - - "Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars."-Henry Van Dyke. ! School isn't just a preparation for life; it is a fragment of life! j itself in which the student takes j active part. He works, loves. plays and appreciates-just as his i ! eiders do. j, In two of life's great, activities j --loving and playing-students do j f not. need much tutoring; these j j seem to come naturally. ; It usually requires some urg- j i ipg, some encouragement, how- j ever, to get students to get the meaning and significance of work as well as the habit of doing a good bit of hand work each day. And yet, as Roosevelt very truly said: "The law of worthly ! life is fundamentally the law of j strife. It, is only through labor ! and painful effort, by grim en- j ergy and resolute courage, that ! -ve move on to better things." And as for appreciating, that j habit is a bit difficult, too; most j of us fail to get half as much ! Out of life as Ave might, if only j we could see beauty in every- j r thing; beauty in mountain, in sea, j i in sunset, in skies above and flow- I ers beneath, and especially in the lives of the people about us. How fortunate are the stu- j dents who love their books, their friends, their teachers, their daily i work; and to whom "life is jus: one grand sweet song." j How unfortunate are those who ! don't like this, and don't like that, j who are "picked upon by their j teachers," slighted by their ; freinds, abused by their parents, j subjected to absurd rules and reg- : illations, the victims of cruel fate j or an unkind Providence. HIGHER STUDIES There must be something in j school life after all; as evidence j of this we submit the- fact that ; at least three of our teachers who we thought already wise are going , off to school next year to learn j some more. ; " Mr. Croft is going to the agricultural college at Logan, Mr. Hubbard to the University of Chicago and Mr. Harmon to Columbia. Students, too, are planning for ' Vigher training. Will Hutchings j will enter the University of Chicago next fall, as will also Lewis Iverson, Blaine Ramsden and j probably several others. Jean Chez is planning to enter Northwestern university. ' Wednesday, May 14, has been j : suggested as a tentative date for j ! the holding of the Lewis oratorical contest. It may come earlier j ; than that, so that students who j ixpect to enter should get busy, j MUSICAL EVENTS The Girls' association, which has proven itself such a booster i j of school activities, is consider- j ing the advisability of sponsoring' ; three musical events-orchestra night, band night, and Glee club night---early in May-Music week i J -May 5 to 9, I Gamma Kappa club held a ! short business meeting Wednesday j afternoon. Miss Frieda Kreines will entertain the club at her ! home on Saturday evening. A number of the Tiger trackmen j will go to Provo on Saturday j to participate in the B. Y. U. annual invitational track meet. The . division track meet will bS j held at Lorin Farr park on Friday afternoon, May 2. A half holiday has been declared by the j board of education. The event j : will be sponsored by the American Legion, Rotary club, the Elks' club and chamber of commerce as a fitting climax to Boys' week-April 2 8 to May 2, in- I i elusive. The annual monster boys' parade will be held on Friday j morning, May 2. Every boy who participates will be given a, free ticket to the track meet in the afternoon. ADDED FEATURE An added feature to the "Boys' day" will be an exhibition drill . and manual of arms by the R. O. T. C. boys in the morning in j front of the Elks' building on j Grant avenue. j j Some one asked Supt. W. Karl Hopkins why the girls didn't have a Girls', week. "They do not i need it," he facetiously remarked, "They look after themselves." .He qualified this remark, however, by reminding the questioner that the girls have their organizations and are receiving quite as j j much attention from the mothers as the boys are getting from their dads. Miss Smith, the librarian, is i very busy these days preparing i j the best possible list of books : ' to be added to the library next : I year. As funds are limited only j i the choicest and most needed can i find a place on the list. - The junior prom committee re- j ports that '.'the stage is set" for ; i the greatest promenade in ' the ; I history of the school. Those de-' j siring invitations should see the ' j committee at the school. i Rabbits are a pest in Australia. Pink gasoline gives better service than colorless liquid and, it is i claimed, should cost less. |
