Show 36 THE CLASSICUM The commercial course is laid out on a broad basis, the requirements being such that a graduate may go directly into the field of business or on to college. Machine work is emphasized to meet the constant demand for machine operators in the modern business office. The school is fairly -well supplied with typewriters, bookkeeping machines, comptometers, calculators, and the multigraph. Approximately six hundred students are enrolled in one or more com¬mercial subjects. The popularity of the course is shown by the growth in number of graduates from 44 in 1923 to 127 in 1932. THE GIRLS' ASSOCIATION The Girls' Association extends a most cordial welcome to the Juniors entering Senior High School in September. Our association is organized to advance good fellowship among the girls, to promote their welfare, and to increase loyalty and pride in their school. The work is carried on through a Girls' Council, directed by our executive officers. Some of our activities are Girls' Assemblies, Big Sister Week ending in the Girls' Party, Print Dress Week, Mothers' Tea, Accolade, and Athletic Carnival. !n addition we foster many special activities in the interest of the school, the major one being our school Art Collection, which was started and is fostered by the Girls' Association. O. H. S. GIRLS' CREED As a student of Ogden High, I believe it is my duty to love and honor my school; to enter into its progressive spirit sincerely and enthusiastically, always being punctual, participating in its undertakings, and supporting its social and athletic activities. I believe I should respect its teachers and the student body officers, and do my part toward keeping the building and surroundings clean and attractive. I should be a friend to all, not for what they may be able to give me, but purely for the joy of association and service; therefore I should have a smile for everyone and be willing to serve whenever help is needed. That a cheerful smile and a kind word will work wonders for one who is discouraged is a fact for me always to remember. I should be honest and truthful, with a character beyond reproach; courteous and kind; loving and forgiving; brave and cheerful; frank, but not insulting; jolly, but not boisterous; modest; self-respecting; neat in appearance; orderly at all times; and respectful for the rights and feelings of others. I should be a good sport, aways playing fair, keeping peace with my opponents, never disputing the word of the authorities, and always controlling my temper. I should be prepared to battle against any difficulties and to take disappointments good naturedly. My desire to live up to these ideals and be worthy of honorable citizen¬ship in our creditable school and our glorious Republic is sincere and humble. |
