Show evr. that tho memory of this horrjil day should be one of the contributing factors in his great !iuiuanl<rton success as discoverer "i a vaMin-', which would coun¬t-nut tbfedreaded hydrophobia, as well as smallpox and ofther featful diseases. It happened in this way: Years afterward, Louis Pasteur, follow¬ing the had of Leeuivenhock, Spallanzani, in their microbe studies, discovered (hat many dis¬eases were cai Bed by micro-or- icaimm«, and that other micro- organtums might be utilized as anti-toxin to these, neutralizing »ml nullifying- their baleful effects. ThiH Ik probably one of the greatest discoveries of modern time*, and it is the fartherest reaching in the combatting of hu¬man diseases. While Leeuiven¬hock discovered the "beasties," it rrmttind for Pasteur to classify thrm us 'vvll" and "good"—de¬stroying and life giving. Upon this discovery, modern medicine Is built and upon him the world's highest honors have ben conferred. Of him it may truly be said: "He ushered in the daw n of a new day." THE SEASONS OF LIFE Life nay be likened unto the seasons of the year. Spring comes with Its joys and happiness. Life ni.so rune s into this world in its pring, knowing no sorrows or Cares. It still has about it the spirit of heaven. Gradually the spring grows into summer; the ch.ldhood grows into youth and manhood. It has squared its .Hhoulder.i' and taken upon them the trials and cares of a hard, cruel world. It passes through iis Storms and calm into, the sea-5 .-on Hi,-.t i.s likened unto the fall I of a. ) r. Life's eyes have lost their brilliance; its shoulders have drooped and it limps along with a Cane or crutch at its side. It has lost hope and its only goal is rest und peacc. Slowly, painfully it steps pji, on into u dark, cold and dreary u inter. With a sigh it lays lis weary head upon the pillow and waits—waits for the sigh of rear and death. ' The year is gone.—Ruby King. OGDEN H L-arn to admire i-ightty; the great pleasure, of life is that. Note ''what great men admired; they ad- gmlred great things; narrow spirits »admir* basely, and worship mean-ly.—Thackeray. TODAY'S PROGRAM Assembly program today con- alated of a one-act play, "Spreading the News," by the members of It ha Dramatic Art class, and musical numbers furnished by the opera cast. The opera is to be beautifully costumed and from every standpoint will be one of the finest pro- eductions of its kind the school has ever put on. Mrs. Agnes Warner Bowen and Supervisor Mark Robinson have been putting in somemichty hard licks the past few; days and they promise us an ar-1 Ittlstlc produetion. SUBJECT CHOSEN Thi University of Utah an¬nounces "High School Student Life" as the subject for extem-poraneous speaking this year and .-"iKgests that all contestants should make a thorough study of the subject generally and be pre¬pared to speak on any phase of it. DECLAMATION For the declamation contest this Jbear the committee has chosen 'Marmion" by Sir Walter Scott. FOR BETTER LAWNS High school students and the public generally are asked to use the cement walks about the high school and to refrain from walk- jjflns or standing on the lawn, which is MOf destroyed by hard usage. An effort will be made to set out aonic shrubbery and flowers ttllf spring and to improve the general appearance of the school jround. A SIGNIFICANT SIGN A local church; has a significant challenge on Its bulletin board this week. It, reads something like this: "A nation that rides in au¬tomobiles ought not to let its chil¬dren walk in religious darkness.' THE KIND OF TEACHER I WOULD HAVE Recently in a certain school the students were asked to say what they would have in teachers. Among the replies were: 1. Students want teachers who understand them and take a per¬sonal interest in them. 2. Teachers who are impartial and fair. 3. Teachers who are at the same time friends. 4. Teachers who are sympa¬thetic. 5. Teachers who do not betray confidences. 6. Teachers who are not mete taskmasters but friendly advisors. 7. Teachers who are not grouchy. 8. Teachers who are even tem¬pered and calm in almost all sit¬uations. 9. Teachers who make subject matter interesting. 10. Teachers who have a sense of humor. HAPPIEST MAN Sergeant Ed Holloway was un¬doubtedly Ogden's happiest man Thursday. Would you know the reason? Well, it was his first—a 7 ½ -pounder—and a boy. TICKETS OUT Classicalia tickets were placed on sale Thursday, although the grand event does not occur until March 18. Considerable interest has already been worked up. The first queen elimination vote was taken this morning in the advisory periods. HISTORY CLUB A current history club is formed in each of Mrs. Irwin's classes for the purpose of promoting an interest in and studying the pres- entday events. An election was held in the fourth period current history club on Monday. Lorin Wheelwright was elected president and Ruth Ferrin, secretary. These will hold office for six weeks. "THE FORUM" The "Forum" is again going to step into the limelight in the near future. As you know, we had a very successful debate with West Side high and came out victorious on both sides of the question. Now we have arranged a triangle de¬bate with Davis county, Box El¬der county and ourselves. Much interest has "been shown in these debates. The tryouts were held Monday, February 21. The ques¬tion is: "Resolved: That the Vol¬stead act be so modified as to per¬mit the sale of light wanes and beer containing not more than -.75 percent alcohol by volume." The winners of the tryout are Tom Broadbent and Ambrose Merrill, who will uphold the negative and Walt Slater (our new member) and Seely Hopkins will uphold the affirmative. Attorney Ira A. Huggins gave us a very interesting and valuable criticism. Now if we can only win this triangle debate and the" state debate we shall be able to tell the other high schools to 'watch our smoke." —Lee Cain, Reporter. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE If only school teachers and par¬ents could tell boys what vocations they should choose and follow, what a fine world this would be! Anxious parents are very much concerned as to the vocations their sons shall enter, but how often do they study the boys' aptitudes for any particular line of work? Too often this calling or that seems lucrative or pleasing or dignified and parents decide that is the one for the son to follow. Many parents seem to feel that ' the teacher's experience and train¬ing should qualify him to tell ex¬actly in what vocation the boy would succeed. Would that this were true! Unfortunately, teach¬ers are not usually any wiser than parents in this respect. Again, some parents sill believe in phrenology—the pse'udo-scientific bump (bunk) psychology— and have their son's head read to discover what his vocation should be. Aside, perhaps, from detect¬ing feeble-mindedness, we may be sure that the shape of the head, the color of the hair and eyes, the texture of the skin have absolutely nothing to do with a person's ca¬pacities, interests, abilities or ten¬dencies. Unfortunately, we must still ad¬mit that this matter of finding the proper vocation is still pretty much a hit-and-miss affair. Stu¬dents of the subject tell us that about 70 per cent of the Avorkers of today have missed their calling, or at least are inefficient because of their lack of interest in it. In an interview just before his death, President Charles W. Eliot said: "The most important thing any young man has to do is to find his ,1ob—the job that he likes; if he likes it, the chances are that he will succeed; if he doesn't, oi course he will not." A few people are fortunate; they know early what they want to do in life and work constructively to¬ward this objective. For most oi humanity, however, there are pe¬riods of uncertainty—a sort of blind groping. About the best thing one can do then is to secure foundation train¬ing along as many lines as pos¬sible and then as early as is con¬venient, select some appealing line for continued and adequate training. FALSE PREJUDICES We often hear it said that the high school curriculum aims to test students. Every student should conscientiously try out the 10 to 15 lines of wrork to discover the bent- of his interests. This caution should be observed. Give every line a fair test; do not form prejudices without a fair trial. We recall the case of one boy who ne¬glected mathematics through his high school course. He heard that mathematics were hard; he chose subjects that had the reputation of being easy. He was allowed to graduate without mathematics. He 1 decided suddenly that he wanted to go to college. He was rejected 1 at college because he had ignored mathematics. He returned to high school to get algebra, geometry, trigonometry so that he might en¬ter college. To his great surprise he found that he was particularly apt at mathematics; he literally "ate them up." At college he en¬tered an engineering course be¬cause of his aptitude along;;; this line and became a successful en¬gineer. This is but one case that is literally typical of scores. We never know until we try. OGDEN H WIND If I were a leaf that the wind could bear Up from this turmoil, up, up, in the air, Would I want to return this o£ care 9 Could I just far one moment thy wildest joys share To cross the wide ocean with you, would I dare? Yes, goblets of silvery rain would I bear. Across the huge earth in wide cir¬cles you tear, Flinging dark clouds over blue skies so fair, Whirling white snowflakes through thick, foggy air. Sending big storms way out in the deep While you with grim Death your; secret tryst keep, Thinking of lives which with joy you will reap. You scatter winged seeds, the earth to adorn, Then sweep away homes, leaving earth all forlorn. You play with the farmer, destroy¬ing his corn. Wind, ever changing:, please hear my prayer! Lift me from this turmoil up, up, in the air And let me stay and live with you there. Dorothy Manning. QUEEN TALK Melba Bowman! What is there in that name, a mere name? Noth¬ing, but when it is spoken, a hush falls. Laborious breathing is heard. A second more and "ohs" pierce the air. Then follows a mixed up jumble of outcries from which a careful listener may de¬tect, "What a wonderful queen she would be!" Yes, she is "wonder¬ful, wonderful, and yet more won¬derful," a mixture of prettiness, gracefulness, sweetness, womanli¬ness. Seldom is such a combina¬tion found. So "here's to them all in one," Melba Bowman. A GREAT GAME Ogden never fought harder nor better than she did last Friday night. It was necessary. Both teams realized that they were play¬ing for big stakes, and they fought like demons from the opening whistle till the final gun. The score of 14-13 in favor of Davis at the half and 24-23 in favor of Ogden at the end are indications of the contest throughout. Davis has a mighty fine team, but ours is just a little better.
