The Indian club exercises ex¬hibited by 300 high school girls Thursday morning in Lester park under the direction of F. C. Van Buren were most pleasing and satisfactory. The dancing was not all that was expected on account of not hearing the music, but the dancing this morning at the gym¬nasium evidenced the fact that the girls have had most excellent training in this activity during the year. The floor work and the swim¬ming exhibition this morning were very satisfactory and proved to the patrons present that the high school girls are getting a great variety of very fine work at the gymnasium this year. The ar¬rangement to have this type of work done at the gymnasium has been very satisfactory and will doubtless be continued next year. TYPING AWARDS.

Unfortunately the movement initiated at Rotary club Wednes¬day night to send the. high school band to Council Bluffs next week to participate in the national con¬test came too late to make the trip feasible. Such a contest demands weeks and months of definite training I and preparation as we had last year to achieve the success the organization merits. School officials, feeling deep ap¬preciation to Ogden people for their magnanimity last year in sending the band to Fostoria, hes¬itated about asking or even sug¬gesting that they send the band this year. For that reason no effort was made to raise funds and even though it were possible to raise the money at this time, it is doubtful whether it would be wise to enter this year's con¬test. We should have little to gain and staiid a good show of losing prestige already gained. PATRIOTISM IN TIMES OF PEACE. In these turbulent times of ours when each of us is absorbed in economical pursuits to secure food and clothing, we are inclined to forget such important things as patriotism and the obligations it incurs on us. This tendency to leglect our moral obligations to )ur country is one of the regret- able things in our social life. Many harbor the erroneous im- ression that patriotism is neces iry only in time of war; they forget that it is the most vital element in a nation's existence and that its absence imperils the welfare of their country. Of course it naturally assumes a more prominent position in the lives of the people at such a time, but it should not be placed asidf each time as though it were o no significance. Instead of mani. testing its existence by such patri¬otic demonstrations as parades speeches and liberty bond cam- , paigns, all of which are charac¬teristic of belligerent times, we should express it by concentrating our efforts in times of peace, in becoming better citizens, and taking, ill active part in the af-fairs of our city, state and nation, so far as they concern us. We should make it our imperative duty to take an interest in these Things, especially civic activities and problems, for we are more closely allied with them. To be a good citizen, one must have respect for the laws and principles ol one's country, loyalty to the flag, are all traits that a good citizen possesses. A patriotic citizen never dese¬crates the privilege of voting by neglecting to do so. He appreci¬ates this right and sees to it that he performs his duty when¬ever an election is held. The at¬titude of indifference which the American people assume towards this sacred duty is deplorable. Patriotism in times of peace can but be manifested by voting, for this is the highest and noblest obligation of every American citizen, and he who disregards this duty is unworthy of the privileges that American citizenship affords him.—Marian Colburn. MONDAY EVENING, Ogden High TO THE PILGRIMS Long, long ago the pilgrims came to land, Inspired by truth from Heavenly Power on high. To brave the hardships of a for¬eign strand, To leave their homes and friends without a sigh. They worked, and built, and ploughed, and battled strong. Startling the world with their glorious deeds, Maintaining the right and crush¬ing the wrong, To prove at last that liberty suc¬ceeds. Years will sweep on, and all who are today. T. iu.v" T-ttfe's gathering rusnx. will pass away. And though those pilgrims brave have disappeared, For aye they will be worshiped and revered, Like some grand mountain rising from afar. Lit by the radiance of the lunar star. Maurine Mortensen. TO THE WASATCH MOUNTAINS Oh, thou tall and rugged handi¬work of God, What wonder is called forth by thy form! How still are thy ravines and peaks. How beautiful thy coat of tim¬bers That man's civilization demands! What treasures hide you under Your coat of green that man might Not destroy you by craze of riches! How peaceful is the soul of man When confined in thy lovely blanket Of green and brown! What joy to sleep Under God's sky and hear the gentle sigh Of the boughs stirred by the vel¬vet breeze! What strength is gathered from thy Rich brown soil! How Elysian is The morn and eve on thy majes¬tic peaks! What other can compare to thee, Monumental index to Heaven it¬self! Leland Bunot. A GREAT DAY Friday was Award day, Exhibi¬tion day, Parents' day. From every angle it was a successful day. As teachers and students gave out awards teling of the accomplishments along all lines of endeavor—our bosoms swelled with pride and our heart beat strong for our dear old school. Year by year we are reaching new heights and attaining new successes. It was pleasant, yet sad to hear Miss Beck say "The three years I ' have spent at the high school are the happiest years of my life. I never expect three other years to be so full of happiness and satis¬faction." NEW SLOGAN It was refreshing to hear Mr. J. U. Eldridge say "I have never heard any serious' criticisms upon this school. You have as fine a group of boys and girls here as can be found anywhere in the. world; you need a new million dollar high school; you deserve a new building; you boys and girls should never let the citizens of Ogden rest until you get a new high school: The Standard- Examiner is ready to help yo"u launch a campaign for a new high school: Let us adopt the slogan 'A New High School in 1928.*" Thanks, kindly, Mr. Eld¬ridge, we're with you. The slogan is adopted. PLEASING PROGRAM It is estimated that 400 parents honored us on Friday by their presence. We were delighted to have them. They are always wel¬come. They seemed to enjoy greatly the fine program pre¬pared for them. The fashion show was a great success. The parents gasped as they witnessed the long line of girls beautifully attired in gowns of their own making. They gasped again when they went into the serving rooms and saw hundreds of exquisite gowns displayed there. Misses Carlos and Smurthwaite are en¬titled to a great deal of praise for their fine direction in this great industrial activity. In English, in history and so¬cial science, in natural science in¬cluding botany, physics, chemis¬try, geology, in art, in domestic science, in carpentry, mechanical drawing—there were especially pleasing exhibits of work. The teachers and students are entitled to a great deal of praise for their untiring efforts in getting ready such a fine exhibit and in mak¬ing ' Parents' day a great suc¬cess. STUDENTS TO DRAW Tomorrow at 3:15 o'clock grad¬uating students will draw enve¬lopes securing seats for parents at the Commencement Exercises. Each student is limited to three seats as the capacity of the house will not allow more than this. The seats are drawn by chance, so that it shal be as democratic and fair as it is possible to make it. As all seats in the theatre, however, are good seats, all grad¬uates may be assured that the parents shall be able both to see and to hear the exercises. SCHOOL CLOSING As commencement exercises are held on Wednesday evening, that being the only evennig the Orpheum may be obtained—it is only fair to say that seniors will not be held after Wednesday for regular school work. School will maintain, however, for Juniors until Thursday evening. On Fri¬day students will return to get report cards, and to receive the Year Books which will be issued Friday morning. GRADUATES' RECEPTION A reception to the graduates will be held at the Hotel Bigelow ballroom after the exercises Wed¬nesday evening. The parents of the graduates will also be welcomed at this reception. |
