work, benches and desks. : had moved every piece of furniture and had cleaned every cor¬ner and closet Finally when, the teacher inspected the work and could find no speck of dust, he said, "I guess you will do to en¬ter this institution." BORROWED HIS NAME When Booker entered the in¬stitute he did not know that he had a second name; in fact, it had never occurred to him thai he needed one, untU he was ask¬ed by the master what his .other name was; on the ingptrjaon of the moment he replied,'. "."Washing¬ton" and so Washingtonit was until the end of his days. ' When he learned later that he had been christened "Taliaferro" he added that and became known as Booker Taliaferro Washington. School Notes Mar 26 MARCH A month—a warmth—a sunny day, A sigh—a doze-—a lazy yawn, A flower—a bird—a budding tree, A dream—a thought that spring is on; A breeze—a sough—a moaning pine, A cloud—a fear—a sudden rain, A frost—a chill—a whijstling wind, A storm—a roar—a hurricane! —Marie Bjorklund. A GREAT EVENT Another Classicalia has come and gone. It lived up fully to its promise of being the most suc¬cessful ever, held; no so successful perhaps financially, but artis¬tically surpassing any former event. For this great credit is due the general manager, E. S. Smith, and all his committees who worked intelligently and ar¬duously to make the event color¬ful, artistic, unified and beauti¬ful. Special credit belongs to Mr. Stewart and his students in the art department to Miss Beck of the dramatic department .and licr many capable students who work¬ed with her; to Miss Corless and the other teachers in the home economics departments with their fine student helpers; to Mr. Connell, Albert Bragonge and others who constructed the booths; to Emerson Thatcher, student man¬ager—in fact, to everybody who assisted and they were many. It is a great student body and fac¬ulty co-operative enterprise and it jftas carried through with dis¬patch and great success. It was, from every point of view a most enjoyable affair—one that is hugely enjoyed in anticipation, in realization and in retroflexion. FUTURE CLASSICALIAS Each year the suggestion grows stronger that the annual Classi¬calia should become the great an¬nual character ball. The queen election and procession and the costuming events grow more im¬portant each year, and so with¬out any great change the Classi¬calia has drifted into a colorful pageantry of the nations. It will b the aim in the future to study the customs, habits, ways, dress of many peoples and to have every nation, represented by a good-sized group of people. In this way the Classicalia can become a great, educational force. SELECT CLIENTELE Another thought that has been emphasized by many is that the patrons of this great school event should be alumni and friends only of the school; people who are sympathetic with the- aims and ideals o education and who re¬spect the decencies of life. In opening the Classicalia to the public we have conformed to a democratic demand, but we have also lent ourselves to criticism because there are always a few who have thought of the evening as a time for freedom and license, a time lor indulging in spiritous liquors and a time for engaging in conduct that is wholly unwor¬thy and unfitting for a school event. Hereafter tickets to the Classicalia will only be issued to a select clientele Avho . have, re¬spect for themselves, and-who ap¬preciate the ideals for which the school stands. TRAINING FOR LIFE To what extent do the schools of today meet the vocational needs of the day rs a question to which Mr. Noall, state supervisor of vo¬cational training, has devoted himself for several years past. In his opinion the schools do not adequately meet the situation • at the present time. He estimates that the schools do afford some adequate training for the 7 per cent who enter professions, the 8 percent who enter commercial work, the 29 per cent who enter agriculture, but that the 22 per cent who engage in manufacture and industry, the 7 per cent who enter domestic service, the 8 peri cent who enter trades and the 8 per cent in common labor are not provided for by the present, school, curriculum. He recommends that we adapt our school curriculum to the needs of our communities. BEETHOVEN PROGRAM Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) from 8:30 to 9:30 oclock the Bald¬win Radio company will give a Beethoven concert at the high school in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the world's greatest musical genius. A short talk on the life and work of Beethoven will be given, also by a member of the musical de¬partment of the University of Utah. TIME KILLERS The most miserable people in the world are those who hate their jobs- When time hangs heavy on one's hands, or when one's chief job seems to be "watching the clock," there is something wrong Going to school, for some stu¬dents is a bore. Seemingly they cannot get interested". They are like men engaged in menial jobs that are hateful and disagree-able. They are forever uncom¬fortable. They are miserable them¬selves and impart in a measure the same spirit of unrest and dis¬satisfaction to others. As such disturbers they become a menace, It is very doubtful whether any student should be forced to at- I tend school against his will, any i more than he should be obliged; to do distasteful work in other ; lines. Nowhere in life is there a real place for the time killer. ON TROUBLE The troubles of this world are puzzling things. They bear me down and weigh upon my mind, Until I, despairing, waken just to find That I can think no more. The j lark—lie sings, But troubles are for beggars and ; for kings, Coming into the world writh the first sin, And we must conquer them if we would win; But they'll ever be the curse of human beings. Yet Hope will aid us and good comfort give. If we but hope, grim trouble will away, Chaotic thoughts emerge all smooth again Through sorrow, grief and sadness hope will live, And always we shall greet the new-born day, While trouble seeks oblivion with¬out pain. KATHRYN HEALS. Ogden High School Notes A WHISPERED SECRET. I whisper something to the road I would not dare tell you, In hopes that some day It may find you In its wanderings over the hill. And if it beckons From beside the sea, I'll follow, And, if you'll listen, I'll tell you what I whispered to the road. —Robert G. True. THE FIVE PER CENT. The submerged tenth—or twen¬tieth makes all the trouble. Every day some - teacher says, "I would have a wonderful class if it weren't for 'Johnny Jones' who will not study." It is so every¬where in life, the five per cent cause trouble. At the Classicalia the other night we had some 1500 people. A most conservative estimate would say, ''Over 1400 of these were perfect ladies and gentle¬men. From 20 to 50 misbehaved and gave everybody concerned tho black eye. GIRLS' PROGRAM. AILjfre girls of the high school ar£ to meet in a, special assembly at the higl) school on Weife morning »t 8:30 O'ClfiSSL ;e Camp Fife Girls will rejtiyEl special program. NATIONAL CONTEST. Ogden High is entering the na¬tional oratorical contest on the Constitution of the United States. We enter as a member of the Forty-ninth district, comprising Ogden, Logan, Cache, Weber, Davis and Box Elder school dis¬tricts. The western states division is being sponsored by the Los Angeles Times. MISSED CLASSICALIA. One student, Miss Lois Cham¬bers, was not at the Classicalia, although she had her costume and everything in readiness. Instead, Lois spent the evening on the operating table at the Dee hos¬pital, having been stricken late Friday afternoon with appendi¬citis. Doctor Morrell performed the operation. CARPENTRY PROJECT. The carpentry boys had a good job Monday afternoon in pulling nails, sorting and storing lumber that, was used in the construc¬tion work at the Classicalia. The material was all returned to the shop and as much of it as pos¬sible will be utilized. REFLECTIONS — SERIOUS AND OTHERWISE. All the constitution guarantees is the pursuit of happiness. You have to catch up with it your¬self. A bird in the hand is bad table manners. It is really a difficult matter to determine whether it be op¬portunity at the door or another demonstrator. When a man says I run things at my house he probably refers to the furnace and the washing machine. Homes were never so beautiful nor so comfortable as now: Neither were they ever so little used or appreciated. Boys will be boys—but the girls are giving them a hot contest for the privilege. SCHOOL LANDS. The National Educational Jour¬nal for March has a very inter¬esting article on the school land question. We copy an excerpt: "Professional organizations have won an important, victory in the passage of the school land bill, which was signed by President Coolidge January 25. When the western states were admitted to the union, federal government ranted certain sections of public lands to the slates fo, ttc support of public and states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Utah and Wyoming. Congressmen and other officials from the public' land states have voiced their ap¬preciation of the united efforts of educational groups throughout the country, in bringing about the. passage of this bill. W. Halverson Farr, assistant at¬torney general of Utah, who was one of the most active workers in behalf of the bill, has said that enactment of this legisla¬tion brought to an end an earnest effort which extended over a per¬iod of six years. ... This legislative achievement em¬phasizes the willingness of the country to support movements for the benefit of its great citizen¬ship-building institutions — the public schools." It is interesting to note in this connection that Utah took the initiative in bringing about this much needed legislation and that Mr. Farr, as the state's represen¬tative visited the governors, leg¬islators, senators, congressmen, in all the states concerned and awak-ened an interest in this great movement, which means so much to the schools of - the western states. HOW EASY! "Moral virtue consists of being I able, anywhere and'everywhere, to i exercise five particular qualities: Self-respect, magnanimity, sincer¬ity, earnestness and benevolence. "Show self-respect and others will respect you. "Be magnanimous and you will win all hearts. "Be sincere and men will trust you. "Be earnest and you . will achieve great things. Be benevolent and you will be fit to impose your will on others." —Confucius. ATORS AND TATORS. "Students, enlarge your vocab¬ulary," is the plea of the English teacher. The speaker's plea is, "Elevate the foresight." The principal's plea. is. "Obey I the rules." * Let us do all three in one. But how? Oh, by a method of 'Amors' and 'Tators.' When you are playing the game with the rest, you are a particip¬ator. When you watch from the side lines, you are a spectator. When you get angry and peeved you are a percol-ator. When you jolly a while, you are a jollificator. When you go higher than the rest, you are an aviator. When you crawl in the mud, you are an alligator. When you sail your own ship, you are a navigator. When you follow the crowd you are an imitator . When you are a Ii strong optimist you are a radiator. When you are a pessimist, you are [a refrigerator. When you obey » the laws of the school, you. are & you are a prevaTicktof. When you take notes, ne they" ever so good, you are' jusf a commentator. If you. can figure this out. you are a meditator, and when all this scholastic training is done, And' to the state's capitol, you come, And revise the state's laws, one by one, Why, then—you are a legislator. —Winna Bruerton.
