leaves the room to go to his next ; class and finish his dream iinmo- Alack! Such is the life of a high school student whom spring causer to be physically but not mentally in his classes. "OPEN, SESAME!" Soft clouds of incense wafting1 up to greet deep, night-blue heav-ens, wierd strains of the Orient folating across the sands, and huge, Old-world castles of Arabia—this is the atmosphere which will be breathod into the Junior Prom on the night of April 22, at the Berthana. Everyone loves the mysticism of the east, the distinctive tang which rfe apart from all others. Let all I who would he carried into the land I of enchantment procure the magic ticket that is the "Open, Sesame!'* to all things desirable, the Junior Prom. F. H. THE SCHOOLS SPLIT TROPHIES O. H. S. Gains Permanent Possession of Lewis Oratorical Cup In the Lewis triangular oratori¬cal contest, held on Wednesday evening in Central Junior audito¬rium, strangely enough, all three high schools won. Ogden won the cup with a total of 18 points as against Davis 21, and Box Elder 24. v Box Elder won first place with "Effective Use of Scrap Heap," by Miss Eunice Roskelly. Davis won second with "Liber¬alism," by Lee Cheney. Miss Roskelly gets the $50 gold watch and Mr. Cheney gets a pin. From every angle the contest was most satisfactory and the con¬stituents of all schools were happy in the decision. The judges were John K. Edmunds and Miss Anna Herderson of the University ot Utah, and A. N. Sorenson of the Utah Agricultural college. ; The other addresses were "The Hundredth Man," Miss Evaletta Grant of Davis; "Growing Up," Abel Rich of Box Elder; "Amen¬ta the Pillar of Tolerance," Philip Finkelstein of Ogden, and "The Torch Bearers," Frank Rose, Ogden. Miss Reva Beck acted as chairman of the meeting. As Ogden has now won the cup three times it remains a permanent possession of the school. THE RIVER. The river flows , along its pathway cold. f And whispers to the trees above ' its bed. It gently sways the water flowers I red; It laughs its gleeful songs, joyful and bold. It passes on beneath the shadow- ing knoll, And by its many hopes and joys it's led. By nature's generous hand it's comforted To rush ever onward to its g-oal. So strives the man upon his jour¬ney long, Upon life's narrow pathway rough and steep. His guide and light is some bright shining star. He travels on with sorrow and with song; For greater things and things un¬known he seeks; And journeys even to a land afar. —Ruby King. THE SPRING TRA LA. B Spring 'and the hills smiled; the Iflouth wind whispered its vaga- flbond call. Nature answered and beckoned forth its many hued fragrant flowers. But mother na- Iture was not alone .in responding bVo spring's eternal wage—our halls lire festive with coral-colored LH&ses. The Home Economics Birls' uniforms like flowers in an Iwquislte fairy garden heralded the coming of spring. COUNCIL REPORT. President Fife presided at the I regular council meeting of Tues¬day, April 12. Miss Bailey of the social com¬mittee reported that Carpe Diem had asked permission to give a party on Sunday, April 17, and that the I-wan-na-nos had asked permission to give one on Friday, April 15. The report was accepted by motion, giving the two clubs per¬mission to give the parties. It was moved and seconded that new proctors be appointed to aid in keeping order at the assem¬blies. The motion was carried. Eleanor Weeks, Secretary. ART EXHIBIT. The art committee, in connec¬tion with Dean Irwin and Mr. Stewart, is arranging an art exhibit of Utah artists in the nearv future. Pictures have already been received from Mr. Fletcher ; of the Utah Agricultural college, , and others promised from other 1 artists. GIRLS' DEBATING CLUB. Half a dozen ambitious girls, under the tutelage of Miss Beck, met Tuesday afternoon and seri¬ously considered the proposition of organizing a girls' debating club in the high school. The membership will be, like the For¬ums,' limited, and only those who are genuinely interested in par¬liamentary law and debate will be eligible to membership. Only those who are faithful and energetic may retain membership. The con¬stitution and by-laws will be very strict. FRIDAY'S PROGRAM. The following program will be given at assembly on Friday un¬der the auspices of the Homi Economics club: "Take This Rose" will be sung by Melba Bowman. Mr. and Mrs. Castle Murphy will entertain the students with Hawaiian music and talks of their experience among that people. We are anticipating a delightful program. CLUB PERFECTED. The R. O. T. C. band boys held an informal dinner party in the Hotel Bigelow on Tuesday eve¬ning for the purpose of consider¬ing the matter of an organization within the band to perfect stand¬ards of work and. conduct of the band. All members of the band, the conductor. Hyrum Lammers, and Captain Dockler, were pres¬ent. Merrill Tribe acted as chair¬man of ceremonies. There was an unanimous opinion that the organization should be perfected, accepting as members all students who have a record of one year's regular membership in the band. Another meeting was called Thursday morning, April 14, at 7:30 o'clock. A FINE SPECIMEN. Did you ever see a cocanut as it is grown in the natural state? Neither have many of the high school teachers nor pupils and consequently when Willis Smith , brought one to the school Wednesday and exhibited it with one- half the outer covering removed leaving the cocoanut as we know I it exposed as the kernel of a very large shell—they manifested considerable surprise. There was an immediate re-arrangement of for¬mer concepts. Several students said, "So that's what the mon¬keys throw, is it?" "I didn't know they looked like that, said several, and on. teach¬er actually refused to believe it as the boy who said on examining the elephant, "There ain't no such animal." While the cocoanut itself may have diameters ranging from four to eight inches, the corresponding diameters of the enclosing shell are easily twice as large. The extreme outer covering is ex¬tremely hard and within this is a very heavy layer of tough woody . fibre. Mr. Smith explained that the cocoanut is thus protected from wet and moisture; that the cocoanut itself is nature's largest seed. SUPERVISED STUDY. The high school teachers in an¬swering a questiqnnaire ' at -faculty meeting on Tuesday committted "themselves as much in favor of the supervised study plan as used in the high school during the past year. The matter of class schedule is one of the most difficult in school administration, and so it is of in¬terest to know that a schedule has been adopted which seems to meet w.ith very general satisfac¬tion. VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS. Many members of the teaching profession believe that the senior hig}r school should devote its attention more directly to the preparation of students for voca¬tional education and less to the preparation for college. A com¬mittee is now working on the subject of the curriculum with a ' view to modifying so as to better meet the needs of the times. HONOR ROLLS. During the past three days we have published the three honor , rolls of the high school. In order to be on the highest honor roll a student must have As in all subjects during his entire high school career. To be on the sec- ; ond roll one must have not more : than 10 per cent grades as low ; as B. To be on the third roll a i student must have 90 per cent of all high school grades Bs or \ above. In case any student feels that he should be on one of the honor rolls and his name has not been ; published, he is asked to check at the office, as it is desired to do justice in the matter of pub- i lishing honor roll students. APPRECIATIVE PARENTS. If students realized how happy they make their parents by establishing fine records at school, we : believe more students would make a more conscientious effort to establish such records as do them credit and honor. A number of parents have called to express thei rpleasure and appreciation of the, fine records their children have made. If students realized how much the' 5, high school record contrib¬utes to success and happiness in life, this also would be an added incentive to an earnest endeavor to be prompt, regular, attentive and industrious during their school career. LOOKING FOR GOOD HELP. Prof. Dean Brimhall of the B. Y. university, who has interests in a local firm, was at the high school Wednesday, looking for students who might be able to render the firm efficient service. He says, "We want people who will do as they are told and who can be depended upon." Instead of relying entirely on teachers' recommendations, Professor Brim- hall preferred to give the students I a test on mental alertness and ability. He gave the test to eight 1 students of the commercial de¬partment wrho are seeking posi¬tions. COMMERCIALISM. No activity, seemingly, can exist without commercialism. The high school received Tues¬day a very beautiful announce¬ment concerning Boys' week, May 2-8. Thinking it was from Rotary, giving some information about the program—the principal began reading with care only to discover that the folder was from an out- ' of-town business firm advertising ' crepe paper and other parapher- , nalia to be purchased for Boys ! week. REGIONAL TRACK MEET. Track meet for Region No. 1 will be held in Logan, on Friday, May 6. The actual participants . in the track meet will be excused ' from taking part in the Boys' day parade which is held on that date. A GREETING. A patch of green and gold swaying to the music of a scent- ! laden zephyr as it danced down the mountain and over the hills; the w;armth of the northward journeying sun as the rain clouds swept past it; the smell of rich, ( damp earth; the trilling love-call of a meadow lark; the flash of a bluebird—all this, and that in¬tangible throb, in the air, of liv¬ing, growing things, greeted me as I reached the top of the foot-j hill. — CARMA SMUIN. TEACHER'S LEAVING. One sad feature of the closing of school is the information that comes late in the season that a number of the favorite teachers will not return to the next sea¬son's work. The seniors look for¬ward. of course, with considerable satisfaction to their graduation, which is only slightly marred by the fact that they will never re¬turn to high school as students. Students, other than seniors, nat¬urally feel that they want to re¬turn to school with conditions about as they are—the same teachers and all. It is with re¬gret that these hear that some of their teachers will leave for other fields or other work and will not be here to greet them on their return. Among those who will not be here next year are: Miss Eva Beck, A. V. Hendricksen, Gordon Croft, DeVere Child, and possibly one or twO' others. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS. At the student body election on Friday last Miss Vella Fowler was elected vice president for the year 1927-28, and Miss Dorothy Foulger was elected secretary. Candidates for the presidency were eliminated with the excep¬tion of Tom Brodbent and Ar¬thur Hales. The final election to determine which of these shall serve the student body next year will be held on Friday. CARDS REQUISITIONED. Athletic eligibility cards for spring athletics were requisitioned on Friday for the following stu¬dents: Lowell Newey, Lynn Giggs, Gilbert Moesinger, Wayne Fisher, Francis Hearn, Groberg Woods. Victor Biddle, Voy Hickman, Her¬man Long, Tom Barker and Rich¬ard Barker. AS IT SHOULD BE. I arose slowly and slipped into my clothes. It was eight-thirty then but I was not worried be¬cause I knew the teachers would not mind if I was late. I ate my delicious breakfast leisurely and tripped off to school. I had something to look for¬ward to because I loved school. Filled with happiness I went into my classroom and sat down in the very front seat. The teach¬er confronted me with a smile and said she was glad I had come even if I was late, because She missed me so when I was not in class. Then we proceeded in the usual manner. She first read us a story, telling us before beginning that, if we did not like it, we might sit and visit with someone while she read. After the story she asked how many were prepared. Most of us were not but she sweetly said that it was all right siuce we were seniors and might have a vacation, also that our names were all on the graduation list and, of course, would not be re¬moved. Later a boy came in bearing a list of names, one of which was mine. When he called it I shiv¬ered slightly but. since I had nev¬er been scolded, I decided that all would be well. I went down with a very light heart. When I reached the office, the principal asked me if I had been at gym the preceding morning. I assured him that I had, and he said he would have to scold the teacher because an absent mark would lower my grade. He begged my pardon and said he wanted to be sure I got the full credit when I was there, and dismissed me. —HESTER ARMSTRONG.
