Hu were a swift cloud and flew in the sky; Hp go far above here and gayly I'd fly ( gK carry the raindrops so dainty and fair »And sprinkle them over the fields dry and bare. play with the winds and the breezes so gay, Hpd dance through the heavens and trifle all day; At night I'd just wander; no evil H I'd do. I Instead I'd cause storms, and scatter fresh dew. On days that were hot, and the sun shone so bright, t I'd glide down below it and obscure its strong light. IjAnd the plants, and the flowers that were withered below Would raise up their heads and thank me and grow. I And up in the firmament far above here I I'd see all the graces of our earth wc hold- dear. I'm sure I'd be happy but I'm glad that I'm "I," Instead of a swift cloud that flies in the sky. —Hester Armstrong. RIGHT AGAIN. The Standard - Examiner is right. This is How It Zer Weather.

GOOD WORK IN CHEMISTY. E. S. Smith reports that stu¬dents are doing very satisfactory work in chemistry. At the pres¬ent rate the classes will com¬plete 35 experiments over and above college entranoc require¬ments. TO VISIT REFINERY. Chemistry classes are planning ! a trip to the oil refineries in Salt Lake on Saturday of this week. HONORS IN TYPING. At the recent state contest in typewriting conducted at .Provo under auspices of B. Y. U., Lorin Wheelwright won third place in the state novice typewriting con¬test, being- one of 74 contestants from all j)arts of the state. A. Rex Johnson, contest man¬ager, Brigham Young university, writes to A. M. Merrill, principal Ogden High school as follows: "Before now you have learned of the record Lorin Wheelwright made in the recent state com¬mercial contest. My illness has prevented congratulating you at an earlier time on this showing. I sincerely hope that next year you will feel disposed to co-oper¬ate still further and have full teams represented in the Various events for I know that the bene-ficial results of this contest are being felt all over the state and the work I witnessed being done in your department there would indicate that Ogden should carry away its share of honors if they were to whole-heartedly partici¬pate in this contest." compete with plans submited by students of other western schools. VOCABULARY SURVEY. Mr. Hyde's English classes have undertaken a survey on the vo¬cabulary of high school students as represented by their written work in the school papers and magazines. This involves the list¬ing and counting of words and is a tremendously big piece of work. THE GREAT DEMOCRAT. Today, April 13, is supposedly the 184th anniversary of the birth of America's first great Democrat. He is known as the author of the Declaration of Independence—one of the world's greatest political documents. He is revered as the apostle of equality and did more perhaps to champion the cause of the common man than any other statesman. Jefferson's predeces¬sors, Washington and Adams, had in them something of the aristo¬crat. Jefferson would have none of this. He was of the common people—common. It is said of him in one of our histories: "The new president, with his large loose figure, his ill-fitting and snuff-stained apparel, his profuse and informal hospitality, presented as great a contrast to the stately poise and ceremony of Washington and Adams as the crude city on the Potomac did to the settled colonial dignity of Philadelphia. Jefferson hated every appearance of aristocracy." Students would do well today to spend an hour or two review¬ing the achievements of Thomas Jefferson, one of the reat char¬acters and statesmen of all time. EASTER GREETINGS. The faculty and student body is in receipt of an Easter greet¬ing from the faculty and student body of the High School of Com¬merce, San Francisco. The mes¬sage was carried by a homing pigeon. DUAL MEET. On Friday afternoon Ogden will meet Weber High in a dual track meet contest. The class contests were completed on Tuesday. INTERESTING VISITOR. The high school was favored today with a visit from B. Solis. a cultured and most charming i Filipino. Mr. Solis is traveling in the interest of his country. He ] says, "You people know the Chin¬ese, you know the Japanese, but you do not know my people. You think we are the least civilized of the people of the East. I am very happy in the thought that I am doing something for my coun¬try and my people. We'want the worl dto know us as we are." The high school has arranged to secure an address from Mr. Solis on Friday, April 22, on the subject, "Music of the Philip¬pines." In his address, Mr. Solis will give the "origin and sources, the amalgamation with Spanish music, its characteritsics and developments, music today." Mr. Solis is also an accomplish¬ed pianist and will render "Kundeman in D Minor"; "Rhapsody," Liszt. We look forward with pleasure to the opportunity of hearing Mr. Solis. DRAWING CONTEST. Ralph Jensen, senior student who is doing especially fine work in archtectual drawing, has sub¬mitted a first floor plan of a home to the Sunset magazine to I A LECTURE? At the weekly meeting of the I-Wannan-O club, which was held at Charges Thorstensen's last Wed¬nesday! night, after the main busi¬ness, *xhe 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. WTe 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 dSeh 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 boys of the club. As our name signifies, we are looking for some¬thing and, as Mr. Smith said. "To seek is to find." Look out.—Spen¬cer Walker, secretary. 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. 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, Fails 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 interesting 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 n.ejLt .week." OGDEN WINS TITLE Ogden Won Wednesday over Box Elder by a' unartimous decision and over',Weber High school by a 2- to-1 decision. The judges in 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 as debaters, and incidentally brings honor to the school as it gives Ogden the championship of the di¬vision. Our teams must no*w de¬bate the Cache county division, the winners of which will participate in the state debate. 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 Mondays, 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.
