Ogden High TIDY UP (Clean up the lawn, clean up the yard, Gome on, stranger, you're not barred. Throw 'way that box, pick upsthat tirt— Whatcha doin' with that balin' wire? Get (ho spirit, pitch right in. No one knows—you may win— A little, yes little praise, for those few days You spent to tidy up. —Gilbert Beck. VACANT LOTS How they stand there all alone- So one cares; they're like a stone; Papers blown from here to there; The days go by and no one cares! So let us try to help them there, And see if we can do our share, By cleaning up their corners, too' And then we know that we are through.—Mary Addleson. WAKE UP "Wake up, clean up," the birds sing so clear; Wake up! Clean up! It's the right time of the year; Wake up! Clean up! Plant some flower seeds; Wake up! Clean up! Pull out the weeds; 1 Wake up! Clean up! Get out with ' your rake; Wake up! Clean up'. Now don't pull a fake; Wake up! Clean up, and your neighbor will, too; Wake up! Clean up! There's more work to do; Wake up! Clean up, and don't be so slow; Wake up! Clean up, and watch Ogden grow. —Dorothy A. Manning.

At a meeting of the graduating committee last evening it was de¬cided to give these students places on the commencement program, ljjft assignment is as follows: Salutatorian, Donna Slater. Reader, Helen Wilcox. Valedictorian, Ralph Jensen. RETURNS GIFT Some four years ago the Ogden Kiwanis club made a small contribution to a worthy student who >af desirous of securing a col- me education. Last week the (ecretary of the club was very touch surprised at receiving a Meek from the student saying that m preferred to regard the con- ! anoution as a loan, not as a gift The young woman has done Poetically three years of college fork and is now doing remuner¬ate work in a large hospital. OPEN DOOR IN EDUCATION t A few years ago a very small Pontage of school students at¬tended high school. Now a very iWge percentage of students at- The university used to be W a very select and a very small goup. Now the masses are ask- admittance. During recent years there Has been a tendency on the part of many institutions to refuse ten- trance to students except of high¬est scholarship. This policy was vigorously assailed at the super¬intendents' convention by Supt. Frank D. Boynton of Ithaca, New York, who insists that every high school graduate who has the am¬bition to go to college should be given the opportunity of attend¬ing and that the college should offer him the sort of instruction that will meet his needs, and that it should be given by a competent instructor. COMPTOMETER WORK A letter to the principal says: "At the present time there are more comptometers in use by one organization, the U. P. system in Utah, than there are similar ma¬chines in use in the entire state. The U. P. system will transfer to Ogden some time this year a con¬siderable portion of their work which is now being done in Oma¬ha. This will give employment to approximately fifty comptometer operators." We do not know how reliable this information is, but it looks good. Ogden has many students who are prepared to do compto- • meter work and are just looking for the chance. FITTING THE SCHOOL TO THE STUDENT The high school has added many courses to its curriculum in recent years. The aim is to offer stu¬dents work that is to their liking and capacity. This, indeed, the fitting of the school to the stu¬dent is education's biggest job. The greatest difficulty in do¬ing this, however, is getting the student to put forth effort for mastery in any subject he may undertake to study. Too frequent¬ly the student qoming in contact with new ideas, a new field of thought, becomes bewildered, dis¬couraged and gives up. A far better plan would be to tackle every problem with vim, energy and determination with a view to overcome every obstacle and to get at least a modicum of information upon all branches of learning. WILL TEACH ART LeConte Stewart of the high school faculty is announced as one of the instructors in the Santa Maria School of Art, Santa Maria, Calif., during the summer session, June 27 to July 30. In the school curicula. which, by the way is a very artistic one, the following is given concerning Mr. Stewart's training: Studied at the University of Utah; art with Ed¬win Evans and A. B. Wright; art Students' league under Bluminschein, Dumond and Kenneth Hayes Miller; At Students' league summer school at Woodstock, New York, under John F. Carlson and Walter Goltz; Pennsylvania Acad¬emy of Fine Arts landscape school, Chester Springs, Penn., under Dan¬iel Garber, George Oberteuffer and Joseph I. Pierson. Mural decora¬tions in Hawaii, Canada and Ari¬zona, also at Hotel Bigelow, Og¬den, Utah. Pictures in Alice art collection, Salt Lake City, Springville High school art gallery, Springville, Utah; Utah state col¬lection, and in numerous private collections. Exhibitor, Society of Western Artists, musiums and ex¬hibitions." Sometimes it is necessary for people to go away to learn who they are and what they have done. Anyway we'll say that we appreci¬ate the fine work Mr. Stewart is doing at the Ogden High school. MAY GO TO CALIFORNIA George Bergstrom is seriously considering an offer to go to one of California's schools. He is of¬fered an increase of salary of about 50 per cent above that which he is getting in Ogden, also assur¬ance that he will be given work -in connection with th,e Boy Scouts. Mr. Bergstrom has spent a sum¬mer or two with Boy Scout camps in California and has achieved considerable reputation in that state. We should not like to lose Mr. Bergstrom from the high school, but we cannot blame any¬one for avai"' - , jf of the THURSDAY EVENING, Ogden High School Notes THE AWAKENING A breathless hush, then an awak¬ening stir— Laughing breezes murmur to dreamy sedge, And from the trees to ruffled water's edge, Deer brush aside the fairy gossa¬mer. From joyously thrilling magic throats, In ecstatic exquisite roundelay, Falls rhythmical cascades of liquid notes, Exultant welcome to the coming day. The rose tinted glow of dawn ad¬vances Into the downy nests where lin¬nets swing. Stronger, brighter golden day en¬trances And the shadows long are short¬ening While the brilliant hues of aurora fade Before the jeweled morn which God has made. —Eleanor Turner. HOW CONVENIENT We met this interestjpg an¬nouncement in a country news¬paper the other day: "Owing to the lack of space and the rush of editing this issue, several births and deaths will be postponed un¬til next week." A LECTURE? At the weekly meeting of the I-Wannan-O club, which wras held at Charles Thorstensen's last Wed¬nesday night, after the main busi¬ness, the twelve members were entertained by their advisor, Ed Smith. We've all heard Mr. Smith talk before, in closs, in assembly, but never before under the condi¬tions which he spoke to the boys the other night. We could all feel that talk because it came straight from Mr. Smith himself. The talk was on religion, de¬mocracy and science. He spoke of the relation of religion and sci¬ence, not as opposite forces but two forces working together to¬ward the same goal. How the study of science brings the broad- minded men to believe that behind all creation there is a creating power, and the study of science brings men closer to this belief. He cited a short verse which, so to speak, "hit the nail on the head." A moment but to reflect, Produces a feeling of wonder and of awe, All things in the universe Move according to some divine law. Some force behind it all, A master force, 'twould seem, Creates order in the vast unknown And over all reigns supreme. Certainly such a talk as Mr. Smith put before the I-Wannan-O club for their approval could not be called a lecture, because these twelve intent boys listened all the way through. Boys at the gradu¬ating age do not listen to lectures all the way through. Before speaking Mr. Smith apologized for the lack of preparation. A re¬mark passed during "pie" (a fa¬vorite club dteh served at all meetings directly after the busi¬ness) exactly fitted the club senti¬ments, that they all wanted to be present the day Mr. Smith gave a prepared talk. Our hat will not fit for a week after the compli¬ments Mr. Smith paid the group of bfitys of the club. As our name signifies, we are looking for some¬thing and, a% Mr. Smith said. "To seek is to find." Look out.—Spen¬cer Walker, secretary. OGDEN WINS TITLE Ogden won Wednesday over Box Elder by a unanimous decision an<J~ over Weber High school by a 2- to-1 decision. The judges iff Brigham City were Mayor Hervin Bunderson, Waldemar Call and the Rev. H. E. Mayo. The judges in Ogden were Atty. David J. Wilson, Atty. Wayne Jeppson and Atty. John C. Davis. Of the six debates held during the past two days, five of the de¬cisions went to the debaters on the negative side of the ques¬tion. The single affirmative de¬cision won by James Neal and Winnifred McConnell, reflects great credit upon their prowess a,s debaters, and incidentally brings honor to the school as it gives Ogden the championship of the di¬vision. Our teams must now de¬bate the Cache county division, the winners of which will participate in the state debate. FAIR PLAY AT BOX ELDER Two of the judges Wednesday in Brigham City were Box Elder men, and naturally perhaps a wee bit eager that the home town team should win. That they were un¬biased is shown by the fact that both voted for Ogden. They con¬ceded that our boys did the best work on the platform. This is a fine spirit and is appreciated by Ogden. CREDIT TO FORUM Again we must say that the splendid work of the Boys' Forum club is doing and has been doing during the past six years reflects credit upon the organization and the school. For six years the club has been active, and has met regularly every Monday, winter and summer, in season and out of season, to engage in friendly de¬bate. The work drives the boys to the libraries which furnish them ideas upon all subjects considered; the work tends to make the boys versatile in a wide range of sub¬jects; it helps them to classify their ideas, to think clearly, and to express themselves with definiteness and force. The member¬ship of the club being limited to twelve gives each boy opportunity to participate frequently in the grand art of debating. CLEANLINESS AND GODLINESS This week we are especially asked to "clean up." Some one remarks facetiously, "Don't forget the dark spot back of your ears." It isn't, however, so much a matter of personal cleanliness, physical or moral, that is urged —however proper and seasonable, these may be at all times—but more particularly "cleaning up about our homes, our school grounds, our city." Wherever one looks thse days he sees much evi¬dence ofv clearing of refuse, rub¬bish ands-df a general tidying up. It, seem.f good to get out in the back yard, and help to give, the - spring flowers a chance to come up, blossom and fill the. air jgth fragrance. We think * theroVi's something radically wrong with the person who does not delight in a little raking, and picking up and tidying up about the premises. It only adds joy to the labor to know that it is a community project and that all our neigh-bors are doing the same thing that we are. The "clean-up week" is really a very worth-while affair, in which every citizen of Ogden may well enlist his services. Now, too, is the time for the planting of flowers. and of the making of a more beautiful Ogden. Yes, let's clean up and scent up, for is not cleanliness next to Godliness, and is not beauty the mark that God has set upon virtue? EYE SORES Wouldn't this be a seasonable time, too, for every man, woman and child in Ogden to highly re¬solve that they will cease to scat¬ter litter and to banish the "eye sores" of every street, nook, cranney, alley that now nja.rk our City! Perhaps most conspicuous of all are the surroundings of every grocery store, refreshment stand, drug store, located outside of the
