Show The program consisted of songs by Weber College's Glee.., club, songs by the high school male quartet and a play given by Lo¬gan high school under the direc-; tion of Mr. Heywood. -—Eleanor Weeks. MAKING UNIFORMS The domestic art rooms are filled with an air of mystery and activity equaled only by that which prevails immediately prior to an occasion of utmost impor¬tance. The "raison d'etre" is the making of uniforms by the girls of the home economics club. This club has accomplished a number of things this year, such as rais¬ing money for the Ellen H. Rich¬ards scholarship fund, winning the prize for the most beautiful booth at the recent Classicalia, etc. These things have been done quietly and unobtrusively but now signs are that the girls are about to become conspicuous by the wearing of uniform dresses. This uniform is to be a coral colored sports model of simple design, set off with white collar, cuffs, belt and tie. Dame Rumor has it that these will make their initial appearance Friday' morning at the regular school assembly, of which the club will have charge. ESSAYS SUBMITTED Essays on "Wild Life in Utah" were submitted last week by the following students to enter the Weber county contest sponsored by the fish and game association.

WON AND LOST The Forum club won the de¬bate at Ogden on Friday and lost at Davis in the triangular debate held between Ogden. Davis and Box Elder schools. We are advis¬ed that the three debates were of high order and reflect great credit upon the boys and girls participat¬ing from all schools. Tomorrow at noon the principals and supervisors of Ogden city schools will have luncheon in the new- Hotel Bigelow. Supervisor Mark Robinson will give an illus¬trated musical program on Beethoven. Central junior has adopted the laudable custom of publishing each term the honor students of the school. This recognition tends to encourage students to be punc¬tual, studious and regular in their work. Last term there were 16 maxirne cum laude students, 32 magna cum laude and 130 cum laude students. NATIONAL CONTEST Ogden is getting ready to par¬ticipate. in the great national and international oratorical contest on the constitution sponsored by the newspapers of America and for¬eign countries and which takes place in Washington, D. C-, in June each year. The United States is divided into seven zones, the winners in each zone being sent to Washington to compete in the finals. Utah, Ari¬zona, Nevada, California, comprise the southwestern zone, which is sponsored by the Los Angeles Times. Utah is divided into- seven dis¬tricts, the winners of which meet in Salt Lake on May 6 to deter¬mine the winner to go to Los-An¬geles. Ogden, Logan. Box Elder, North Cache. South Cache, Weber and Davis high schools form the north¬ern district in the state contest, of which Principal A. M. Merrill is chairman. It is likely that all of these schools will participate in the contest, which will take place in Ogden oil April 28. FOOD FOR THOUGHT There is an old aphorism with which all' are familiar—"live and let live.' Its proper meaning em¬bodies a quiescent sort, of benev¬olence, in that it implies a pur¬pose to refrain from actual injury to others, and to leave them to work out their own material sal-vation without active hindrance or undue interference. The old philosophy upon 'which' the motto is based vyas-.a long step forward as compared with the still older doctrine of the right of might . current when selfishness was a virtue, and when every nian carried a club, and, if he could, took what he wanted. Indeed, it. was considered a lofty ideal. Just as we outgrew the old proverb of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." so have we expanded beyond this one. The motto no-' longer speaks of the highest conception of human; ideals. We have passed beyond mere well wishing to true action, and in order to have something to work from we have adopted a paraphrase of the old doctrine to guide us—"live and help live/' It is well for ua to ponder occasion¬ally upon the difference of the two aphorisms in order to choose between them. -—Kathryn Blake. 3-30-27 Ogden High School Notes TO LUTHER BURBANK Oh you, of the undaunted won- derous mind, So apt in delving after Nature's ore And wresting forth the secrets of her lore To benefit and to nourish man¬kind, Did take, in leaving this fair wrorld behind, Your knowledge; and today our need is sore For one like you to lead in find¬ing- more., Mysteries which Nature to herself > did bind. So great were all the benefits derived From your discoveries, that when you died, All nations mourned the passing of the man Who caused the bringing forth of the great plan, Whereby we might with our weak, puny power Liberate more mysteries from Na¬ture's dower. —Clifton Lund.

Mr. Stewart of our art de¬partment, who spent part of the week-end in helping to arrange the exhibit, declares this the best ex-_ hibit Springville has ever put on. AUTUMN WINDS Autumn leaves, red and gold. Flaunt their colors far and wide— As the West Wind boldly rolls Across the distant country side. Gray is the sky above; a storm's near by, Smoke curls languidly above the trees; Conies the Kingbird's plaintive cry. Wafted on the autumn breeze. t Lightly Indian faces are touched. By the dying embers ruddy glow. Their chief stands motionless, And the West Wind whispers low. Autumn leaves, black and yellow. On earth's bed, sky-canopied, lie; While the West Wind croons. Soft and low, Nature's 1ulla-hv.~—- Ogden High CHILDHOOD'S HALL OF FAME Dust covered portraits in the hails of fame, Mold'ring idols of childhood's sacred shrine. Smiling forth frpm memory with hallowed face divine-— These are not heroes whose dis¬tinguished names The sage or salient line of song proclaims; But heroes, whom the skillful sculptor, Time, Has aptly molded after God's de¬sign. For lives there none who dare their lives defame.- Enshrined in faded rose and vio¬let sweet, Hangs one dear face where love, , alone doth reign. Anon, a kind and quaint old mas¬ter greets— One who, again, walks down sweet childhood's lane— Father, mother made my joy com- . plete; ... Yes, they were heroes in my hall of fame. —Frances Bryant. FAILURE Not to think through is to fail at the beginning and not to fol¬low through is to fail at the close.

HOME-MAKING Ninety per cent of the women of the country are engaged in the occupation of home making. As home-niakers they must buy food and clothes for a family, must prepare and serve food three times a day for three hundred sixty-five days a year, must not only keep a house but create a home at¬mosphere and must., do a thou¬sand and one other important things daily. And yet despite these tremendous responsibilities only a neglible number receive even a minimum amount of train¬ing. A CONTRAST Of the 10 per cent engaged in Other occupations, there is not one who has entered her work without training. These keep books, use typewriters, manage tea rooms, teach school and do other sorts of work—vbut in all cases receive .careful training for the work; And yet some people wonder what is the matter with the home. |
