business district. In the congest ed district the condition is tol¬erable, but outside of the business district the conditions are intol¬erable. From the doorstep of every such establishment out for a hundred yards or more in each direction there are paper bags, gum wrappers, bar cartons, bits of wrapping paper which the pur¬chasers have thrown down as they" leave the premises. If people' will persist in being so untidy and ! slovenly we have often wondered if the city should not compel the owner of the establishment to pick up and clean up after his pat¬rons, or hire some one to do the job for him. The condition is very annoying to residents of the district and should be remedied. MOUNTAIN FANCIES I never look at the mountains but that I have a feeling of avve —of wonder. I have lived near them so long that they have, be¬come a part of my existence. But I cannot regard them casually, as , my neighbors do. These mo'untains are so old and so constant and yet so ever new. Sometimes they are grey, stoney-eycd and tight-lipped; Puritan sort of peo¬ple. Again they surprise with their fickleness. Some mornings they greet me as gay and capri¬cious as a young girl. I delight in the various moods of the mountains. Their solemnity and rectitude are comforting - and reassuring and teach me a. pa- tir ce and "the sermons in stones." The carefree moods are most de¬lightful. Some; wornins icwe to find the mountains gpl&en- haired maidens with dresr, of cobwebby mists, marvelously tinted. They are ready to stroll up and down their garden paths with : the sunshine in theihair, laugh¬ter in their eyes, and, the music of a waking world about them. At night when I go home from work, I catch a glimpse of moun¬tains also patiently waiting the sun's dismissal. At twilight they possess an un-fathomed beauty. It is useless to attempt to tell the mysterious effect of the mountain twilight. Only those who know the moun¬tains fell the magic spell. In this mysterious hour they taunt you with their secrets, hold you spell-bound with their beauty, and leave you with a strange sort of peace in your soul. Suddenly darkness shuts down," and night covers the life in the great drama of the hills. From the city at night the mountains are dark-haired maid¬ens writh stars in their hair, who wear silver dresses. The moon smiles down at them as they breathlessly listen to the tune the lovers of the world play—the low- sweet, plaintive tones of the wind in the trees. To a stranger in the mountains, the night is filled with disturbing sounds and panicky fears, but to others there is a sense of peace in the quiet; a comfort in the companionship of the trees, and the restful assurance the kindly night hides all scars. —Dorothy Wheelwright. MONDAY EVENING, AP Ogden High THE NOIVETE OF APRIL I'd forgotten how the wind Comes down across the hills In early spring—frail—whisper-ing; 'And how the valley fills With pale blue shadows, and the scent Of something sweet, and indolent I'd forgotten the glamour of those tender days, And the low, lulling lure of those lonely rills, The mygtery and majesty of hills, And the wistful smile of wood¬land flowers— For there's a magic voice in quiet things That speaks the silent language of the heart. —Crescent Burgi. FORTY YEARS AGO Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody wore a wrist Watch, Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody knew about radio. Most young men had "livery bills." Farmers came to town for their mail. Many people read by the candle or kerosene light. The hired girl drew one-fifty a week and was happy. Young men learned trades at $5 per week. The butcher "threw in" a chunk of liver. The merchant "threw in" a pair of suspenders with every suit. Nobody listened in on the tele¬phone. There were no electric meters. Publishing a newspaper was not a business, it was a dueling fame. There were no Bolshevists nor "isms," "Equipped with gas" was a prominent line of house-to-let ad¬vertisements. Office folks didn't know about a fan in the summer time, and ice water was a treat. (Times have changed). CROSS COUNTRY RUN Ogden is in everything. Though We do not always get first place, we win an honored place. The school congratulates Tom Barker on having won a place in the marathon race Saturday. CLASS PROGRAM Some of the English classes were again entertained in accord¬ance with the "group of six" method. In the second period class the following interesting re¬port's were given: Plato, His Life and Work, by Arie Koldewyn, Aristotle, His Life and Work, by Clifford Chappie; De¬velopment of the Dictionary, by Ambrose Merrill; Character and Work, by Clifford Fretwell. APPROPRIATE GIFT Fo.r several years past Central Junior has had the very beauti¬ful and appropriate custom of sa- t luting the flag every morning, (At a given signal, the students, stop to stand still—no matter where they may be—and salute the. flag. It seems particularly- appropriate then that the school should be'presented with a flag pole and flag and it is quite m keeping that this gift should come from those who have fought for the flag—the Amer¬ican legion. MAGNA CUM LAUDE The following students will be graduated on the Magna Cum Laude roll his year: Allison, Charles W.; Anderson, Virginia; Finklestein, Virginia; Manning, Dorothy Adele; Smuin, Carma Leora; Tanner, Holm¬gren Rondell; Thatcher, Em¬erson, Bean; Thorstensen, Charles, C.; Weeks, Eleanor; Wheelwright, Lorin. LOST HIS MEDAL One of the ba,nd boys lost his R. O. T. C. Fostoria medal at. Twin Falls the other day. This was returned to the High school Sunday by W. T. Sciley of the Amalgamated Sugar company with this notation "We enjoyed the visit of your R. O. T. C. im¬mensely." BACK ON THE JOB The band boys are back on the job this morning and happy to be back. They report having had a wonderful trip and having been treated courteously and royally in Idaho cities. The school is hon¬ored and favored by having this fine band. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS "The most interesting questions in education are questions as the relation which shall exist WHAT WEEK IS THIS? Please sir, we h'Sve forgotten what week this is: Isn't there any special cause to boost or help? It seems there must be and that we must be negligent in forgetting. Maybe this is egg week; anyway we shall hide the eggs for Easter. THE WEATHER There is one subject that peo¬ple all over the world discuss from one century to the next and never tire of—the weather. It is because everyone in some way or other depends on it, no matter whether it is good or bad. The farmer is always concern¬ed about the weather. Some¬times he wants it to rain and other times a rain would ruin his crop. The sailors, especitlly those on sailing vessels are very much dependent on weather con¬ditions. Without a wind they may never reach land, and if it blows too hard and a storm approaches, they may be wreck¬ed. People living in the cities want to have good weather most of the time. Carpenters need it in order to carry on their work; others wish for a fair day for pleasure. But it must be remembered that good weather must be sacri¬ficed in the winter in order to replenish our water supply. Aft¬er the winter, with its wind, snow, and rain, together with the cold, the warm summer weather is appreciated much more. So the weather is one of the chief subjects of conversation. People in greeting one another speak of the weather, saying that it is a fine day or a beautiful morning. The old men spend much of their time talking about it. Even little children speak about it and tell what they will do the next day if it does not rain. Many trips and automo¬bile. rides are planned accord¬ing to the weather conditions. As the weather affects all and not all alike, no one can regu¬late it to satisfy everyone. Also it would not be very good to have it always fair, for it would get tiresome. But why talk about it like this? There is not any¬one on earth who can change it. so we will just have to let the good and bad weather come and go as people have done since the earth and man were created. —Blaine McMurrin. RIL 11, 1927 School Notes tween teacher and student. What shall be the attitude of the one to the other, and once this has been decided, how shall the attitude be fostered. The best con¬ception of the relationship has always been one which saw the instructor and the instructed as partners in a common enterprise —the benefits of the cooperation going chiefly, perhaps, to the younger partner, but going not altogether that way. In any wise scheme of education no teacher will ever be a positive sacrifice to the generation he is helping to bring up. He. too, will, have his fun, and his re¬ward-—and his education."—The Nation. NOTHING MATTERED. It was gray, gray, gray And yet—calmly, happily gray. Not sad, forlorn nor dreary Just a grayness that seemed weary; I; ut—nothing mattered. The grayness didn't care If delicate rose ribbons—so rare,! Streaked across its face, And blended in—like lace Around the top and at the base, Because—nothing mattered. When the gliding, descending sun, Took a scarf, in which colors had run, And o'er the shoulders of peaks, towering and tall, Let its airy, filminess lightly fall, Their Majesty didn't mind at all For—nothing mattered. Finally the colors in the sky above Gave way to the gay desires of love And—tiring of their position of display, Gradually, unconsciously faded away. No one seemed disturbed—but stay, 'Twas because—nothing mattered. When a care-free cow bell tinkled The evening star came out, and twinkled O'er two lovers, strolling, hand in hand Up a lane—a stretch of daisy- bordered land; They were happy in their love- band And therefore—nothing mattered. Then the indolent, silvery moon Rocked in and asked for a tune From the lips of the angels there Who sang away every sigh and care An left mortals drowzy. Oh bliss, dare Not awaken—nothing matters. —Lucile McFarlane. 1001 NIGHTS. The Arabian Nights will all be put in the shade by the 1001st night on April 22. This is Junior 1 Prom night and will be the night I of nights. The program for the night is founded on Arabian legend and will give 1002 thrills. COMMENCEMENT. Commencement this year will be held in the Orpheum theatre on Wednesday evening, May 25. Baccalaureate address will be held in the same theatre the preceding Sunday, May 22. Arrangements are already under way for these exercises. THE LEWIS CONTEST. The Lewis oratorical contest will be held on Wednesday evening, April 20. The high school has a number of orators who are get¬ting ready for this event. A pre-, liminary elimination contest will, be held the latter part of this; week. CHANGES DOMICILE. Captain Doekler and family all have the spring fever. They are avoiding housecleaning by moving from Grant aveune to the Mc¬Gregor apartments on Twenty- fifth street. OTHERS WANT CHANGE. A few teachers contemplate a change in location for next year. They say. "Ogden High school Is O. K. WTe've enjoyed it here, but we think it's time to move." We presume it is the "wanderlust" spirit or the "seeking of new ad¬ventures" that lures them. We warn them that nowhere in the world will they find such fine body of students to work with as they have here. In confirmation of this let them ask teachers who have gone elsewhere from here. WANTS TO SPEAK. A very highly cultured Filipino visited high school yesterday and made a request that he be per¬mitted to address the students to tell them the real story of the Philippine islands and her people.
