tomb and asked God if this might" be the one who did not retrun. And yet, they stand there, bravely determining to "carry on." Then there are those others— the soldiers who did come back, broken in body and mind. They came back to get only sympathy, and sometimes very little of that. Do they wish they might have been the unknown one? If we could only make them feel that they have not fought in vain— that they have bettered the world by their great sacrifice! General O'Ryan believes that if the unknown soldier were able to speak, he would cry out to America: "I was young, and, O God! how I wanted to live! The whole of my life lay ahead, But my country was calling me— needed my strength. I went. Seek me now with the dead! I was young. All the world was a wine to be quaffed, Fair love led me on with a smile; But I died, and you, living, who stand in my place. Battle on! Make my dying worth while! My dreams I laid down on the altar of right., The blood of my youth stains the clay. Joyousness, music, hope, memory, love, In an instant I cast them away. Aye, cast them away with a song on my lips, Away with a jest and a smile, But the goddess I fought for is lost in the gloom, Struggle on! Make my dying worth while! I followed no laws save the laws of the land. My country I took as my bride, My leader, my lover, the all of my all, I wedded her, kissed her, and died. To you who go forward from where I left off, Though dark be the pathway each mile, The torch I have lit will yet flame to the sky! Cai'ry on! Make my dying worth while!" OGDEN H AT CONTEST TODAY. Emerson Thatcher and Wilma Bailey are competing today at the University of Utah in oral read¬ing. James Neal is competing in extemporaneous speaking. These are preliminary contests for elim¬ination. The finals will be held tomorrow. The students are ac¬companied by their instructor, Miss Reva Beck. BACCALAUREATE SPEAKER. We have the pleasure in an¬nouncing that Honorable Nephi L. Morris of Salt Lake will deliver the baccalaureate address to the graduating class on Sunday. May 2 2, at 11 o'clock, in the Orpheum theatre. EXCEEDINGLY SMALL. People—just whether we should cail them people or friends we are not quite sure—who wantonly steai flowers, plants, shrubbery, and thus multiply the efforts of those who are trying to beautify their homes and public surroundings, are reported as carrying on their nefarious work in various parts of Ogden. Even the public school grounds are suffering depreda¬tions. HIGH SCHOOL DAY. As Friday is "U" day and many high school seniors will go to the University of Utah, so also it has been decided to make it Senior High day at high school. All ju¬nior students who will attend senior high next year will meet at the high school at 9:30 Friday morning and spend the forenoon at the high school. Here they will meet in the dif¬ferent rooms under the several teachers and will have explained to •' them the senior course of study. They will also be given cards and will register for next year's work. At 11 o'clock a special program will be given in the assembly. TENNIS COURTS. The tennis court committee has adopted the unique plan of building the courts by popular subscription selling each square foot at 25c. In ! this way it is hoped to raise.sufficient funds to meet actual cash expenditures. Much of the labor will be contributed. STEWART PICTURES. The high school now has on ex¬hibition about forty pictures of Utah's well known artist, LeConte Stewart. The public is invited to come in and view these fine pieces of art. DEBATERS AT UNIVERSITY. A call came from the University of Utah late Wednesday afternoon requesting that our debaters be at that school this morning at 11 o'clock to enter a preliminary skirmish for state nonors in de¬bating. High school students par¬ticipating are Winnifred McConnell, James Neal, Frank Rose and Philip Finkelstein. R. O. T. C. INSPECTION. The government inspection of the Ogden R. O. T. C. is sched¬uled to take place at tabernacle grounds next Tuesday, May 17, at 9 o'clock. It was desired to hold this inspection during the, after¬noon, as last year, but the inspec¬tion officer must leave Ogden at noon, necessitating the morning review. The public is invited to witness the inspection. TARDY IN HEAVEN. High school students who are given to tardiness may derive some little comfort from the report that there is tardiness in heaven as illustrated by this in¬stance: A certain country minister post¬ed on the church bulletin board: "Brother Smith departed for heaven at 4:30 a. m." Next morning he and his people were surprised to find written be¬low this announcement: "Heaven, 11 p. m., Smith not in yet. Great anxiety." CHANGED HIS MIND. When Dr. Barker was here two years ago he said: "You need a new high school here and I shall not come to your school again un¬til you get one." Dr. Barker, however, finding himself again in Ogden, could no; forego the pleasure of meeting our fine student body, so he has re¬tracted his words and is address¬ing the student body this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. We always wel¬come the famous Dr. Barker. A GREAT LECTURE. This evening at Central Junior Dr. Pack of the University of Utah will give his most interesting lecture on "The Wonders of Utah,'' accompanied by pictures of Utah's many wonderful beauty spots. All high school students and the pub¬lic are invited to hear this great lecture and to see Dr. Pack's ex¬quisite pictures. AUTOMOBILE CARAVAN. The U. E. A. (Utah Education association) is sponsoring an auto¬mobile touring caravan to Seattle and the northwest thi3 summer for the benefit of the teachers of the state who wish to attend the Na¬tional Education association meet¬ing in Seattle, July 3-8. The cara-van will leave Salt Lake on Tues¬day morning, June 28, and will arrive in Seattle on Saturday eve¬ning, July 2. This will be a won¬derful opportunity for Utah teach¬ers to make one of the most inter¬esting trips possible. We doubt not that hundreds of teachers will make the trip. CLOSED DOORS. The veteran educator, Dr. A. E. Winship says the doors of oppor¬tunity are closed to students who do not graduate from high school. He enumerates in this way; If he does not graduate from high school—• 1—He cannot go to college. 2—He cannot go to a normal school. 3—He cannot go to a first class law school. 4—He cannot go to a medical school. 5—He cannot go to a dental school. 6—He cannot go to a naval school of aviation. 7—He cannot go to an army school of aviation. 8—He cannot get a good posi¬tion in a newspaper office. 9—He cannot get a position that is open to promotion in a bank. 10—He cannot get a position that is open to promotion in a railroad office, accounting room, a business office. He concludes: It is an awful thing for a young man or woman to deliberately shut and lock all doers to the best things in a busi¬ness and professional life. Senator Sorghum says: It is easy enough to pass a law. The next thing is to get people to pay any attention to it. If I had my life to live over again I think I should prefer lit- eiature to politics. In literature you can work under an assumed name. Keep quiet about your disap¬pointments. My uncle Bill used to say he never complained' of be¬ing cheated in a horse trade, be¬cause it spoiled his chances of working the horse off on some¬body else. Every man who has attained to high position is a sincere believer of the survival of the fittest. The man who believes he owes everything to his own efforts, is the one person I know of who is in danger of being unduly grateful. SHE SAW SNAKES. BROCKTON, Mass., May 12.— Frank McGee kept, a black snake, five feet long, in his house for a pet.. He also had a crow that flew from room to room, and perched on the pictures. There were eight cats, and a pig slept under the kitchen stove at night. Mrs. Mc-Gee sought a divorce, contending her companionship was not essen¬tial to her husband's happiness. FRIDAY EVENING, MM Ogden High School Notes THE RECKONING It's fine to have a blow-out in a fancy restaurant, With terrapin and canvasback and all the wine yoif want; To enjoy the flowers and music, watch the pretty women pass, Smoke a choice cigar, and sip the wealthy water in your glass. 1 It's bully in a hightoned joint to eat and drink your fill, But it's quite another matter when you Pay the bill. It's great to go out every night on fun and pleasure bent; To wear your glad rags always and to never save a cent; To drift along regardless, have a good time every trip; To hit the high spots sometimes, and to let your chances slip; To know you're acting foolish, yet to go on fooling still, Till nature calls a show-down, and you Pay the bill. Time has got a little bill, get wise while yet you may, For the debit side's increasing in a niost alarming way; The things you had no right to do, the things you should have done, They're all put down; it's up to you to pay for every one. So eat, drink and be merry; have a good time if you will; But God help you when the time comes, and you Foot the bill. —-Robert W. Service. THE ROAD TO SUCCESS All high school students will recognize and appreciate the above poem, as the one with which Dr. Charles E. Barker closed his mas¬terful address Thursday afternoon. President Cecil Fife said at the close of the address, "That was the most interesting and impress¬ive address I have ever heard." In saying this he but echoed the sentiment of practically every student present. The address was based upon the trinity, the strong arm, the clear head and the brave heart. He told us with many most striking- illustrations how the building and maintaining of a strong physique, clear . and logical thinking, and the exercising of a well trained will, giving a person the power to say "No" at proper times, lead to success and happiness. The address came with all the force, personality and sincerity that a great , man could command, and it made a profound impres¬sion on every student. Dr. Bar¬ker talked for nearly an hour, sometimes with humor, but at all times with deep earnestness and a perfectly clear objective, inspir¬ing noble youth to live nobly and well. THE SEX PROBLEM Dr. Barker talked most frank¬ly, sincerely and impressively during the last five minutes on the perils with which sex attrac¬tion endangers the lives of youth. He complimented, at the conclu¬sion of his address, the students for accepting his talk so gra¬ciously and honestly. He said, "I may say frankly I have never talked Co a more sympathetic and appreciative body of students. Principal Merrill should be mighty proud to preside over such a fine body of young men and young women." The visit of Dr. Barker will never be forgotten. He has talked to more high school and college students than any . other man in the world, and we are inclined to think that no man of today is doing a greater work than Dr. Charles E. Barker. AT UNIVERSITY. In preliminary contests held Thursday at the University of Utah, Ogden High school students won the right to enter the finals today in public speaking, extem¬poraneous speaking, readings and debating. Thus all who en'.ered .won piac.cs. In the list of officers partici¬pating in next Tuesday's cadet inspection, as published Thursday, it should have read that Capt. Clifford Fretwell is in charge of Company A. INSPECTOR VISITS I. L. Williamson, state high school inspector, spent Thursday at the high school. He visited every department and practically every teacher in the building and was very favorably impressed with the earnestness and effi¬ciency with which the work is being done. NO BEAUTLY CONTESTS Dr. Barker declared the hold¬ing of beauty contests as inane, silly and pernicious. He claimed the practice is deterimental to the life prospects of those who are adjudged beautiful and advised that the high school should never participate in such a foolish un-dertaking. QUARTERLY OUT The season's last Quarterly was issued Thursday. It is fully up to standard arid reflects credit upon all contributors, editors, manager and advisors. COUNCIL REPORT Vice President McConnell pre¬sided at the regular meeting of council. The secretary called the roll. Gilbert Beck of the tennis court committee reported, and the report was accepted by motion. Mrs. Irwin asked that Mr. Mer¬rill appoint two faculty members to act on the club committee, and that Miss McConnell and Miss Fowler be included. It was moved and seconded that the suggestion be adopted. The motion was car¬ried. The council was adjourned by motion of Mr. Rawson. —Eleanor Weeks, Secretary.
