TONIGHT'S GAME FwThs tie-off game to be played "> o'clock tonight in Weber tonnasium promises to be one of the biggest and best of the entire j Both teams are in excellent con-; dltlon and are fighting for a place Htbe state tournament. This, looms hip so the contenders and very man will play i'or all that he has in him. Ogden will prob¬ably win. WHO WILL BE QUEEN? The question calls forth only hoihed whispers and common sense campaigning. And yet the MUne spirit, the same heartfelt en¬thusiasm that has characterized tho contest in other years is cer¬tainly not lacking. Instead, it. seems to have crystal- 4lnd into r. sort of silent tribute to the character and disposition of th« two remaining candidates. Just & plain case of modesty, cul¬ture. refill' m< ut, expressing them- Mlws through the candidates to Jh4 extent that noise and "bally-hoo" mem wholly out of place. The only sensible course for champions ol the two lucky girls irould sepm to be to let that in- "ulvldual Something, which charac- i> ruag each and has carried ih"in Muccebsfully through the :n»t!v cunt d eliminations, con- Apeak for them and op- in thelf behalf. nir.iant' shouting, display of! plac::rds. garig *fights and the like! could 'only operate to the detri- \ nient of a'candidate whose recom- mendatioiw;onsist% largely in her beauty /'nd'., sweetness of soul; whose chfi't' virtues are modesty, reticence, :Vnd refinement.

And then, whoever shall be elected, the student body as a whole will be in line for hearty congratulations on their choice. —Contributed. THE POWER OF MUSIC At the recent superintendents' meeting at Dallas, Supt. Webster of Minneapolis made a powerful plea for music in the school. Among a thousand other good things, he said: "Music worked with, not played with, makes a real contribution to mental strength. Fear of self is cast far away and independence is established; and instead of open¬ing a path flower bordered and perfumed leading toward senti¬mental weakness, music is offer¬ing an exercise of unrecognized importance leading on to intellec¬tual power." INSURES AGAINST MORAL BANKRUPTCY As youth grows to manhood and new homes are set up, musi¬cal instruments are as necessary as dishpans and brooms. Little children come into these homes of beauty, and they can know fath¬ers and mothers because some still live at home; and these young lives are moulded by the music they hear. A fine form of insurance against moral bankrupt¬cy is a musical instrument. Those are trying days when sister plays her scales and brother sobs on a saxophone, but the noy4se of it is not' 'so distressing as the vqjc'e of the parni' matron announcing, that 'son m-/daughter is at the .station. Which "premium will men.'pay,' and what' .annuity have they' purchased.” LETTER TO BOB Derc bob, wcl the class-hic-cala is drawing nere and i ges thet i will have too git a dat weth sum gud lulcin gurrl in a custome and i gess thet i wil have two git a custome to. if thes here dense cums of befoar my pop has a pay¬day it share wil hit me in the ey becuz i am perty neer brok. ef thes hear women whitch i am goin to tak too the dense hes a verry big appettite i wil have to robe the benk and then go to the can for it i gess. i dont gno how i am goin to git a custome but i have a chense to rent a Spinach lay out—you gno them guys wat fit in the areena weth the buls.

Methought I saw a brooding in thy sleep And mad desire go foaming in thy bresat. A greedy lust and ceaseless strife there too, Methought, beneath thy cold, blue mask, I saw, Silent but siren-like, intent to woo My sense and make me humbly drunk with awe, But 'ere a moment, fleeting- flown away, Had found its path to join its mother hour. I looked again, and thou before me lay, Serene and confident with kindly power, For mirrored in thy waters shown the sun And all the goodness of the day then done. NAOMI WILBUR. THRILLINGEST GAME We know most 'h rilling is the more grammatical but it doesn't express it—it was the thrillingest game ever played in Ogden. The final whistle said the game was a tie 25 to 25. Then a long five 1 minutes arid Ogden added three ' points and Davis two. Oh, boy. but it pras. . exciting. Those who have never been thrilled before were thrilled to the point of utter' 1 exhaiistioif™ Never shH-: we see . another such a game. Con ghat na¬tion's, Davis; congratulations Ogden. Both sides deserve to go to the tournament. SINCERE SYMPATHY The high school teachers and students express their sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Oberhansley in the loss of their beloved daughter. Mr. Oberhansley has endeared' himself to all his associates in his work this year at -the high school and consequently the sor¬row that has come to him and his amiable wife becomes a personal sorrow to each of us. May the Author of Life and Death, help those good people to bear the heavy cross that this hour has put upon them. SELECTING COSTUMES Miss Beck, Miss Corless, and Miss Smurthwaite are in Salt Lake this afternoon, selecting costumes for the Ciassicalia.

Teachers and students are taking quite an in¬terest in. the plan of improving the school grounds. QUEEN TALK The prettiest girl I've ever seen Is not too fat; not too lean, Always kind, never mean, Intellectually keen, She's the one we want for queen. What? You ask me who I met N. WILBURR. At the end of the stanza wr; Margaret Storey or Melba. Bowman. ORATORY Those who are interested in youth and oratory should attend the annual S. A. R. contest at the high school tonight. Six high school boys will speak on patriotic themes in a most interesting man¬ner. The contest will be held in room 218 (library) at 8 o'clock. WORDS AND PHRASES A Red-letter day: In ancient times, the days of celebration were marked with red numbers upon the calendar in¬stead of black for ordinary days. This became so customary that finally a holiday was referred to as a red-letter day. On the knees of the gods: This expression refers to some- ! thing that is not known by mor¬tals; that is to say, something that is still in the possession of the gods. Coliseum: The word comes from the Latin word coleseus, meoning gigantic. Thi-- particular structure was- built by Titus and Vespasian in. 80 A. D, TImi remains are still stand¬ ing W the southeast of tho Forum in Rome. The word, .however, was used as a name for' anything of imrfiense size and i's now ujSe'd. to apply . to amphitheatte'l; and large buildings in general.'1' AMBROSE MERRILL. MORE ABOUT MUSIC Worthy home membership is one of the sacred seven, and no study of budgets and calories brings so sure a contribution to a life of rich significance in the home as does the gentle power of music. In the great school chorus, the i world melts into one* one sing¬ing. What we long for, that we are for one transcendant moment, nor shall we ever forget. The en- tangibles are the realities; the things which are not seen, they are eternal. And as surely as man has builded a machine which am¬plifies an infinittesimial whisper until it fills a million homes, there will float mysteriously from deep down in infinite space some day another Angel's song of peace and brotherhood, wrought into sweep¬ing hnison by the power of music a world singing. Where shall music be found? and where is the place of sweet harmony? Ev¬erywhere; for man will, call for her, wherever he strives to achieve a life of rich significance.' - Supt. W. F. Webster, Minneapolis.
