"GROUP OF SIX" NEWS. In the second period English class a delightful program was given on the history of India. Among the reports were: A brief history of India, by Afton Thom¬as; religion in India, by Pearl Westemeir; conditions such as seen by the travelers, by Florence Cartwright; customs and manners, by Norma Mortensen. SOCIAL SUCCESS. The Junior Prom on Friday evening last was another great social and successful feature. The decorations, though simple, were beautiful, and carried one back to the days of romance and chiv¬alry. Much credit is dut the class officers and advisor, who worked hard to make the party the grand success that it was. We were favored. with ilie-prow- ence of Superintendent and Mrs. Hopkins, Mr. and Mrs. Nye. Mes¬srs. Foulger and Irvine of the board of education, and a large number of patrons and friends. This is another happy memory of the school year '26-27. A GOOD ASSEMBLY. Mr. and Mrs. Castle Murphy and 3-year-old daughter gave us a delightful hour with Hawaiian music, history and dancing on Friday last. Tlie little tot sang and danced to the great delight of the student body. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy gave several duets < and Mr. Murphy gave an interest¬ing account of the islands and tlieir people. We express to Mr. and Mrs. Murphy our sincere ap¬preciation. FINE COURTESY. A very notable and beautiful thing at the Prom the other night was this: Many parents were present and they were frequently approached by sons and daughters who inquired concerning their welfare. Loving consideration caused students also to bring par¬ents refreshments and to show them other courtesies and kind- f nesses. There is nothing more ; beautiful in the world than filial devotion. SUMMER CAMP. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: My attention has been called to the Citizens' Military Training camp to be held this summer at Fort Douglas and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to add my enthusiastic endorsement. These camps not only teach the younger generation clean living, but also self discipline and obedi¬ence, whioh have a great deal to do with good citizenship. They furnish the young men with wholesome food, outdoor exercise, games and sports which build them up physically. The association with boys from other places is of great benefit to young men who are inclined to be diffident or shy and especially for those who are' leaving home for the first time. This associa¬tion is of great benefit to boys about to go to college, and the camp here will give such young- men an opportunity of visiting our university and obtaining any in¬formation they may desire direct from the university officials. Par¬ents may also be assured that the boys will have the best of care as the men in charge are leaders in this line of wark. (Signed) IKE ARMSTRONG, ASSEMBLY REPORT.

And then, as if called by those beck¬oning drops, the rain answered in all its fury. New gullys in the earth were formed. Little rivulets developed into mighty streams: But on and on went the mighty current on its treacherous, devas-tating way. Here was a choke cherry tree; there was an oak bush. One sweep of the current and they were gone forever. Rocks crashed against rocks. The whole canyon was alive with de¬mons, demons who were working furiously to destroy the wonders of Nature—God's handiwork. —A STUDENT. LOOKING AHEAD. My mind is in a chaos, My thoughts are all distraught, My lessons seem a total loss, My studies count for naught. My dreams soar high and higher With a rosy-tinted hue, My heart beats high with fire, ! All the arching sky is blue. Through silver-tinted cloud banks With eager eye fixed straight I try to pierce the future's maze To hope—to learn—to know—I wait. —Frank W. Rose. FINE SUGGESTION. Mr. Solis says the R. O. T. C. band is one of the finest he ever heard. He says also it is one of Ogden's biggest assets. He says it should be supported by the municipality. A good suggestion— ] why not? COUNCIL REPORT. President Fife presided at the regular council meeting. The roll was called and the minutes read and approved. President Fife read the names of the disturbers in the last as¬sembly, and turned them over to the committee for punishment. There was some discussion as to a banquet for the cast of the play, but the matter was dropped. Mr. Rose of the club committee explained, by request, the actions 1 and intentions of the committee s but said they would give a complete report later. —Eleanor Weeks, Secy. CALVIN FLETCHER. Calvin Fletcher was born in Provo, Utah, and received his education at the Brigham Young university. He first studied art under John Hafen, in Utah, and later in Paris. At present he is a teacher at the Utah Agricultural college. He paints in oils and in water color and does some interior decorating. "Joyous Spring" is a fanciful water color typifying spring by a scarf dancer in a colorful scene. "Winter Lane" is also a water color—a delicate snow, sketch. "Spring Flood" is the only oil pointing Fletcher has entered in the exhibit, a study in blues and oranges, showing a winding river overhung with bushes. CHANGED OUR MIND. We said the other day that we were going to buy a grand piano. We've changed our mind. heard already from so many people who wish to sell us such a piano that we've decided that it were too difficult a matter to decide which one to buy. We have concluded therefore to put ourselves in a receptive attitude and to accept graciously the best grand piano that any n,n, firm, or business establishment cares to present as a' memorial to the Ogden High school. THE STADIUM AND ALL. We are wondering what has happened to the plans of having a fine athletic stadium up next to the mountains. City Engineer Brown certainly suggested a very simple and feasible plan of erect¬ing a stadium and athletic field and we aPP felt sure last January that it was a sure go. But this is near the close of April and we hear not a word and so far as we can find out—nothing is do¬ing. Wake up, athletic committee, wake up! CITY GOVERNMENT. The fourth period history class under the supervision of Mrs. Irwin is enthusiastically studying cities and their governments. Each day a group of students under a chairman presents cer¬tain phases of this work to the class. The work of the class is to take notes and carry on dis¬cussions. Today a very interesting pro¬gram was given with Carmen Bagley as chairman. She gave the history of cities. The com¬mittee was Spencer Walker, who gave a report on development and growth of cities. Lois Fowler and Athelene McGregor gave some of the modern problems in cities. From their talks we learned that the wandering nomads settled down and organized cities. The first cities were surrounded by walls. To enter the medieval city one' had to cross a moat filled with water, by way of a drawbridge. Land-owners had voice in the government. The municipal code of govern¬ment in England was passed in 1835. In 1790 there were five cities in America with a population of over 8,000. In 1920 there were 920 cities with population of over 8,000. The problems found in modern cities are: Paving, transportation, zoning, bill boards, water system, sewer¬age disposals. parks, libraries, health, lighting, food supplies, fire prevention and schools. LEARNING A LANGUAGE. When the child enters school for the first time one of his first problems is to learn to read—to interpret the printed symbols. Teachers at one time thought the simplest, best way- to do this was to learn the A B C's; the simplest elements—then combinations of these. It took a child under that method better than five years to learn to read with any facility. Later the word method was de¬veloped. This was quite an im¬provement over the alphabet method. Then finally the sentence or thought method was introduced along; with expert teachers and the teaching of reading became a matter of a very few months in¬stead of years. Now in some schools advantage is being taken of this expert method of primary teaching of reading-in the teaching of modern language. Ifistead of old worn out, dry as dust methods, lan¬guage teachers introduced very simple and well graded reading lessons and teach the» students to read before they introduce gram¬mar or grammatical construction. A LATIN READER. This method i» applicable to I ancient languages as well as mod-1 ern. Miss Chesney has a be-1 ginners' Latin reader, "Julia," that is of this type, and which is veryl interesting. One would" apparently enjoy theI learning of Latin by this new method. —- \ B THE PROM! With Apologies. Ah, dim, sweet fancy land! Thy joyous rainbow spanned, i Telling of purest pleasures yetl to be. There stands a palace grand, Where now, on either hand, The students spurn their lessons! in carefree glee. I Arabic's mystic land, am Any amusement planned Jji To charm all the students ofl O. H. S. Given an invitation, For hearty recreation At the annual Junior Prom, this I year our best. —Kathryn Blake, MUSIC DE LUXE. High school enjoyed a real musical treat Thursday afternoon in I several piano numbers by Mr. B. Solis on a new grand Chickering piano kindly furnished fori the occasion by Glen Bros.-Roberts. He played among other numbers: Il Trovatore, Rigoletto, Rhapsody 10, (Liszt); Legend, (Paderewski), and Mr. Solis' own version on "Keep On Smiling." This was Mr. Solis' last ap¬pearance in Ogden as he left last evening for Omaha, where he is I to join the symphony orchestra. Mrs. Agnes Warner Bowen sang "Moon Marketing" and "My Lover As a Fisherman," in her usual charming style. Another feature of the entertainment that proved a pleasant! diversion was a 10-minute oration! by James Neal on the subject. o war. This was ah especially finel piece ot work for a student. A number of townspeople were 1 in to enjoy with us this fine mu¬sical treat. TIME—HENCE With Apologies When the last high school dance has been given And the patrons in heaven abide, When the oldest chairman has van- I ished— And the youngest member lias I died, We shall rest, and faith we shall! need it, Lie down for an eon or two. I 'Til the Junior or Senior class president Shall call us to work—anew. V;V; And then shall the Junior Prom workerman Be privileged to stay and to rest, For truly of all dances given, The glorious Prom was the best. —N. WILBURR.
