Ogden High Mar. 4 "Be Thou Me, Impetuous One." “. . .Be thou, Spirit fierce, My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!" A wind that blows its way over land and sea, remembering1 the salt spray and the sultry sun of seas and summers past, and carry¬ing with it the tang of other worlds—how strong and master¬ful it is! A wind that has the sweet scents oi dewy flowers and the freshness of green meadows and new mown hay mingled with its very being—how gentle and delicate it is! O "spirit fierce," a "destroyer and preserver," is pow¬erful and mighty, but oh! the softness and tenderness of that strength! Could a human soul be like that—strong 'and gentle. fierce and kind? Can such beauty of buoyancy and bigness be any¬where on earth, so far from God? If it can, ... be thou, Spirit fierce, my spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!" —Eleanor Weeks. THE NEXT EVENT. The grand Classicalia,, March 18, is the next big event on the school calendar. This will be more of a character ball than ever be¬fore as every effort is being made to induce everyone who attends to come in costume. The art de¬partment has in the hallway now pictures of appropriate costumes. SMOKY SMOKER. The girls of the high school are putting on a program tonight under the caption above. We can¬not imagine what sort of event, it will be—but since the girls are giving it we guarantee it will be all right, CHEMISTRY ESSAYS.

RELIC AT HIGH SCHOOL. An astounding example of prog¬ress made in the last 50 years m but one lino was shown by an antique ' typewriter, invented by Thomas Edison, and brought to the high school Tuesday by Claude Snooks. The machine is now on exhibit in Mrs. Kohler's room. The main principle underlying the machine rather resembles the principle of the present day ma¬chine. Instead of the keyboard of today, there is a disc under¬neath. the machine which is re¬volved until the desired letter is in front of a pointer, then the letter is struck by a tap on a short handle. This particular machine has been in a small store in West Weber for over 40 years and is I still in working condition. It has, no doubt, been in existence for S half a century as it is a model I No.. 1. Edison invented his first typewriter during the '70s. Compared with the modern typewriter, upon which George Hossfield wrote 132 words a min¬ute, this type of machine is cer¬tainly obsolete. Thankful for present-day in¬ventions? We are! A STORY RETOLD. They've just annexed another old relic up to school. No, they haven't hired another teacher. This time it's the original ances¬tor of our present typewriter. Thomas Edison constructed it in 1874, applied for a patent, and left the perfecting of the idea to other minds. It is smaller than a modern portable typewriter and of extremely simple construction. In fact, the imagination must be used to conceive of that crude, clumsy mass being the forefather of our present smooth running, efficient machine. The type are arranged on a cylinder which must be adjusted for every stroke. The writing is done from below, so the writer cannot see what is being written. SACRIFICE AND SERVICE. Somebody has said that "Sacri¬fice brings forth the blessings of heaven.” Jesus taught the gospel of serv¬ice. These two things—sacrifice and service—are universally re¬garded as highest ideals in social life. It is rather refreshing, we think, that our school program affords opportunity for the devel-opment of these virtues. A case in point is the fine example given this week by the boys and girls in our chorus. During the past month these students have given a good many hours to strenuous training to give Ogden students and Ogden people the fine musi¬cal treat we enjoyed Wednesday evening. Not only did these stu¬dents give freely of their time—- they also gave of their means— each paying out good money for the rental of the costume worn. Perhaps in some instances this sacrifice was made by parents. Whenever or by whomever made anyway it. is very commendable. We hqp.fi the satisfaction that all received from that very fine per-1 formattceu'will compensate in some mea»U?l& tors the sacrifices made. The service was most excellent. OPERA DELIGHTFUL. "The China Shop," a colorful and amusing operetta, which was presented by music students of the Ogden ' High school in the Orpheum theatre Wednesday eve-, iiing, is without doubt an out¬standing event of the school year. It was indeed successful and won genuine favor in return for many hours of diligent labor. A wave of pleasant surprise swept over the audience at the disclosing of a setting so richly adorned. Through the efforts of Ruth Agee and Franklin Rich¬ards it was. atmospheric in each detail: Dainty arches, soft colored lights, oriental hangings in a Chinese world, where lovely maid¬ens and gay young lovers sang lightly of romance. Romance in return dealt lightly with the lov¬ers, for all ended happily as such little stories should. LEAVES FORTUNE. Sing Fong's father bequeathed his fortnue to charity, leaving his song penniless. The beautiful Lotus Blossom fell heir to the fortune because she was the only orphan of the, town. Sing Fong loved Lotus Blossom, whom he wooed and wed, much to the disappointment of other fair ladies craving his attention. Miss Melba Bowman at Lotus Blossom was as dainty and re¬freshing as her lovely voice. She charmed her audience' as well as the handsome Sing Fong, or Clif¬ford Fretwell, whom we found, as. usual, very much at ease-in -his" part. Lee Cain as Fat Sing, William Smiley as Mush Lush. Gor¬don Larson as Wun Lun, Lynn Gibbs as the prolog reader, and Roger Kingsford, as a fisherman, were all individual and well worthy of mention. Dorothy Mar¬tin, Dorothy Brewer and Dorothy Robinson added a wealth of beauty and were delightful and winsome throughout. Wilma Monson as Hoy Tee Toy made an admirable chaperone, one who was i intelligent, concerned, yet considerate, while Mr. Karfair, or Don Corey, called from the audience yiany genuine bursts of enthusi¬astic appreciation. And finally a gaily dressed, well trained chorus gave polish and push to the - eh-' f.tifce opera and helped to make it 'the best high school has ever had. DESIRE FOR MORE. Certainly much credit is due Mrs. Agnes Warner Bowen and Mark Robinson for this excellent production. They have demon- st'rhted what superior work can be done and have created a desire for more and more onor.-t. Ogden High School Notes Mar. "ONE IN A MILLION" ,Vhen folks used to talk of per- ' fection / I swore that it didn't exist. ' But, hark ye, I've changed my opinion, So lend your ears, friends, and list I've found the "one girl in a\mil- lion," Her merit outnumbers the stars. She's fairer than any creation, Of Paradise, Hades, or Mars. He.r grace and good win are en¬trancing, She's a beautiful intellect too. She is blessed with a rose white complexion And hair of a deep raven hue, Then since such a rar combina- tion Has heretofore never been seen, Anon now, away hesitation. We'll have for queen! —NAOMI WILBUR. In the blank above you may insert the name Margaret Storey or Melba Bowman as per youi choice. The poem wac, written in the interests of one of the candidates but it can just as well be applied to either and perhaps, in~1he in¬terests of fairness—be made ap plicable as per individual choicc. ASSEMBLLY REPORT President Fife presided at the regular Friday assembly. Announcements were as follows: Kenneth Skeen announced that ths time left for having pictures taken is short; Philip Finklestein announced the oratorical contests- next week; Esther Lashus invited the student body to come to the Girl's Smoker, admission twenty five cents; Emerson Thatcher an¬nounced that the final candidates for Classicalia Queen are Meiba Bowman and Margaret Storey. The assembly period was devot¬ed to the auctioning of booths for the Classicalia. The follow¬ing clubs and organizations bought booths: Home Economics Club.

CHANGING EDUCATION In 1845 in an ordinary school in Boston of 400 pupils it is estimated that there was an average of 40 whippings per day--or about one every six minutes. In the schools of today--there are no whippings, no corporal punishments. Moreover, discipline today is better. It is founded on friendship and love. The school teacher of today is a teacher not a disciplinarian. An instructor--not a czar nor autocrat. The child of today is regarded as a real human being with ideas, rights, privileges--a real person. In the old days it was not so, yet there are some who question whether the schools are making any real progress. THE CRUCIAL TEST Can Ogden beat Davis? The crucial question at this time. She did it once, but once she did not. Now these teams must meet again. The winner this time has a chance of going to the state tournament next week: all it has to do after that is to defeat Randolph. It is generally conceded that either Davis or Ogden can beat Randolph. _The supreme test—with the co¬veted stake—the opportunity of going to the state tournament via come tomorrow (Tuesday) nigh., in the Weber gymnasium at .7:15 o'clock, Naturally this looms up as the last big basketball game of the season. Davis rooters have already asked for the reservation of 6 00 seats. Ogden should have at least 2000 seats, 'as every sport lover of Ogden should witness this final tussle. Those who witnessed the last game between these teams know that it was a "nip and tuck" con¬test from beginning to the close with a very very narrow score margin throughout. The teams are very equally matched—-and it i will be nobody's game until the last pistol shot. COURTESY APPRECIATED The Sawyer team had secured the gymnasium for Tuesday eve¬ning but graciously gave Ogden and Davis the floor for one hour —7:15 to 8:15 so that this great final battle might be staged. The courtesy is much appreciated. We ' ask all fans to note the early hour 7:15 and be on time. TICKETS GOOD The game is neither Ogden's nor Davis's but belongs conjointly to both schools and whatever revenue is derived will be divided equally. The uniform price of admission will be 50 cents. Student body tickets, however, from both schools will be honored for one-half ad¬mission price, i. e. twenty-five cents. Twenty-five cents and stu¬dent body tickets will admit all Ogden and Davis students. THE BEAR RIVER GAME The score 29 to 18 in favor Of Ogden in Friday night's game at Bear River High school rather looks as if Ogden had a walk-; away. Not so, however. The Bears put up a fine fight and several times showed unusual and unex¬pected strength. In fact during the third quarter outplayed Ogden ! with a score of 6 to 5. Generally speaking, however, Bear River was out-classed. The addition of Knapp i gave strength to the Ogden team. 1 The lead obtained in the first quarter made it safe to try out several of the substitutes during the last quarter of the gamw. BETTER SPORTSMANSHIP More and more students and people generally are manifesting better sportsmanship. A few years ago no referee could give satisfaction to both sides in a game, and usually neither side. Every decision was questioned by i the sidelines. Today the Wwfftpns ? <>;i:- the referee ate seldom quesffrnft it ed. They are accepted by all in ! good faith. This was well exe.m-plified' in- the Bear River game ; when the referee and umpire res- pectively were members of the fete-1 ulties of the contending schools Their work was unquestioned.
