Mr. Roberts of the club com¬mittee reported that H. C. had not been given permission to hold night meetings. Mr. Fisher read the ten¬nis court rules, but no action was taken. Mr. Roberts read the changes that the revision commit¬tee recommends be made in the school constitution. The changes were adopted and will be posted for consideration by the student body. On motion of Mr. Broadbent, Zeta Phi Zi's request to elect a new member was referred to the club committee. Council then adjourned. —Dorothy Foulger, Sec'y. Crowded Conditions In Present School Are Contrasted Now that Salt Lake, our neigh¬bor to the south, is planning for her third million dollar high school, Ogden, one-third the size of Salt Lake, should, it would seem, begin the planning of at least one million dollar high school. If Salt Lake- can afford three, surely Ogden can afford one. I am an inevitable optimist. I be¬lieve that Ogden can and will erect a new, modern high school in the very near future. In fact I have heard that the board of education and the superintendent are lying awake nights trying to solve the problem of Ogden's most urgent need, and that we may look for some announcements soon. Ogden's high school population is this year about 2 300. All of these are now kept at four junior highs except nine hundred, who are enrolled at the senior high. It goes without saying that the tenth, elev¬enth and twelfth grade pupils should be together in one building. Or is it not probable that by the time we get our new building the state will be wanting us to take over the freshman year of univers¬ity work, and so our senior high will consist of eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth grades. At any rate we need the building. The suffering students cheerfully endure the present crowded condi¬tions, thinking they will some day get a new building. In their dreams they imagine themselves strolling up a broad, white walk toward a magnificent brick edifice at the east of Twenty-fifth or Twenty-sixth streets, surrounded by spacious lawns, trees, flowers, and shrubbery—all artistically arrang¬ed. The doors when opened will reveal, spacious halls, broad stair-ways and freshly painted walls. Instead of our present inadequate lunch room we will have a modern cafeteria that will seat one thou¬sand; instead of no auditorium we will gaze in wonder at an assembly hall with gallery that will seat 1800. In other words, instead of a building that we have really and truly outgrown we will have a home equal to either one of Salt Lake's two wonderful structures already erected or the one to be built by 1930. Beauty, convenience and fresh air will be all about us in this dream school. Or, parents, is it to be only a dream?—-S. K. H., A student at Ogden High school. Ogden High To Present "The Mikado" in Orpheum The most popular opera of Gil¬bert and Sullivan, "The Mikado," is to be "presented by the Ogden High school in the Orpheum theatre on Wednesday, April 18, it was an¬nounced today by Ralph Peterson, the director. There are nine leads to the pro¬duction and 100 in the entire cast. Mark Robinson, supervisor of mu¬sic in the Ogden city schools, is assisting Mr. Peterson with the production. LeConte Stewart has charge of the stage effects. The lines are characterized by sparkling humor and the music is joyful and spontaneous. The story concerns the son of a Japanese emperor, called Nanki- Poo, who runs away from his home and falls in love with a beautiful village maid, Yum-Yum. He is thwarted in his courtship by Ko-Ko, the guardian of Yum- Yum, who has already received the promise of the girl to marry. But this is finally overcome when the Mikado arrives and Nanki-Poo's birthright is disclosed.

CONGRATULATIONS Members of Forum and all those interested in debating congratulate the Junior high debating teams on their splendid debating and sportsmanship. Ogden high is as¬sured a fine brand of debaters in the next few years if the indi¬cations of the recent contests mean anything. All of the de¬bates were well worked out and very interesting. They showed work and preparation and a knowledge of debating. Especially do we want to com¬mend the schools on their sports¬manship. After all, the victory or loss doesn't mean so much in comparison with what is gained in experience and training. All of the entrants were very good sports and took their victories and defeats in a gentlemanly way. Following is a summary of the standings of the teams after the finals were held: W. L.. Pet. South Junior 4 2 .666 Central . 3 3 .55 5 North 3 3 .500 Lewis 2 4 .333 We are awaiting with great an¬ticipation the debates of the fol¬lowing years. Let's hope that they are as good as this year's have been. CONGRESS The regular Monday night meet¬ing of Congress was dispensed with and the senators attended one of the series of state debates. Og¬den high debated Weber high. The senators want to congratulate Ogden and Weber. From now on the senators will be very busy. There are many things which must be done. There is an assembly on Friday, you know, given by Congress. It's dif¬ferent, it's good and—wait and see. ATTENTION. STELLAE ALUMNI On Thursday night at 8:30 o'clock in the Weber gym the members of Stellae are giving a swimming party and invite all former members of Stellae to be their guests. The party will be free to you, so just come to have a good time and enjoy yourselves, 4 but above all help us make it a real old get-together Stellae party. You know how. If you desire any more particu¬lars, see any member of Stellae. FORUM Forum held a special meeting Monday night and then, after the roll call and committee reports had been given, we adjourned to hear the debates between Ogden and Weber. We congratulate both teams on their splendid showing. You'll hear more from us later. ''THE MIKADO" Day by day m every way the opera gets better and better. If you like humor, see "The Mikado"; if you like good music, see "The Mikado"; if you like drama, see "The Mikado"; if you like the un¬usual, see "The Mikado." In fact, if you like anything that is high class, full of fun, bubbling over with vigor, extremely refreshing, and if you like a dozen other things, see "The Mikado." AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Jean: We received your letter of March 29 through the mail and though we have been quite a while answering it, we hope you will feel that we have answered it wisely. You say that you are not in love with this man, and have no intention of marrying him. Well, then, I don't see why your father should object to your go¬ing: with him as long as all he is worrying about is that yoU might marry him. Why don't you try and talk calmly with him and let him know that you are not se¬riously inclined toward this young man and maybe he will let you and this boy keep your lovely 'friendship. If not, and if you are -not of age, I think it best to abide 'by your father's wishes. I hope I answered you to your advantage and happiness, and I hope you will come again. Aunt Jane. WEBER VS. O. H. S. On Monday night Weber Coun¬ty high met O. H. S. in a verbal fight which was interesting and impressive in its perfection. The question for debate was the state question, "Resolved: That the in¬stallment plan of buying should be condemned." The affirmative was upheld by the affirmative members of our debating team, Tom Broadbent and Dorothy Foul¬ger; the negative by Weber. Mr. Woolley, acting as judge, said that he had never heard a team de¬bate that was so perfectly match¬ed as these two. He complimented both sides, but it seemed to him that Weber won, due to their per-suasiveness. We think that We¬ber had a wonderful debater in Miss Wilson, and we wish to con¬gratulate them. S. IC Hopkins and Grant Syphers went to Davis Monday night to clash with Davis' team on the same question—and clash they did. This was also a very evenly matched debate and both sides were highly complimented, but the decision was awarded to Davis. We would also like to congratulate you, Davis!! TYPING DEMONSTRATION This afternoon at 2:45 o'clock Miss Stella Welling, the world's champion amateur typist, of New York City, is giving a demonstration before the 3 00 students of the typing department. Miss Welling writes 120 words per minute. Her speed and efficiency should lend encouragement to all students who are learning to operate the typewriter. We express our thanks for this fine demonstration. SINCERE SYMPATHY Teachers and students of Ogden high school were deeply shocked and pained on Tuesday upon hear¬ing of the unexpected death of th estimable wife of Principal Keith Wahlquist. Mr. Wahlquist, while a teach¬er in Ogden high school endeared himself to all his associates and our hearts go out to him in ten¬der and most sincere sympathy in his irreparable loss. May the Power that pities man now extend com¬fort and consolation to him in this sad hour. © 1928, P. Co., Inc. “THE MIKADO" We wish to rectify the mistake made in a former issue. The Mi¬kado is a Japanese opera, based on the Japanese customs and manners. The two hours you spend in witnessing this produc¬tion will be the best invested hours of your life. This is a guarantee. If Kent can't make you laugh come and get your money back. The cast consists of 100 songsters who are certain¬ly going to give you a thrilL You'll never regret "the Mikado." ANOTHER CONTEST Speaking of contests, there is another one coming up right soon. In fact, it is going to be in one month. This is the Lewis oratori¬cal contest. It is indeed worthwhile for the students of O. H. S. to try out for this; one can talk on anything he pleases but the time limit is to be seven and one-half minutes. The students winning first place will gain for their school j a silver loving cup; the winner of first place, a watch. The winner of second place will receive a gold pin. You can see for yourself the prizes are certainly worth trying out for, and then the honor gained is invaluable. See Miss Irvine if you would like to try out for this and remember you have a whole month to work out your oration, so start right now. Get the cup for O. H. S.! ONE-ACT PLAYS We Wish to thank the Girls' as¬sociation for a wonderful even¬ing's entertainment. The one-act plays presented by the dramatic art class were the best we've ever seen and heard. The first play, "Grandma Pulls the String," was as cute and clever as it could be. "Grandma" was absolutely perfect in her role, and "Hildegarde" per¬fectly adorable! Vella and Blaine were awfully good in their respec¬tive parts, while Frances and Nora played up their parts perfectly. All in all it was an excellent per-formance. The second play, "Pearls," was an adorable detec¬tive story. Marion, Betty, Tillman and Clifton were all excellent in their roles. The last play, but by no means the least of them all, was a mystery to put the "heebie- jeebies" on anyone. It wras clever¬ly worked out, and very myster¬ious but, due to the talking of the audience, some of the finer points were skippedover. Gene screamed very beautifully, while Lee, Wal¬ton, Blaine, Charles, Florence and ' the ghost were excellent in their roles. Whew! All the nice ad-jectives are gone, but it was certainly one evening of entertainment that we will never forget. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I have fallen in love with a per¬fectly gorgeous young fellow, but I don't know how to get him! Tell me how will you? F. S. Dear F. S.: He may be a boy that is not attracted to your type, if that is so there is nothing on this earth that you can do to "get him." They just won't fall, that's all. But maybe he doesn't know you very well, so the first thing to do is let him know that you are existing —and very satisfactorily and ar¬tistically. Flatter him, lead him on and do all those things girls are in the habit of doing, and if he doesn't fall, then you haven't a chance. ASSEMBLY We wish to thank the Sempre Musical club for one of the moat enjoyable programs of the year. It was very artistic and classical. We enjoyed it very much. The first number on the pro¬gram was a selection by the trio composed of a cello, violin and piano given by Mrs. Cleone Rich Eccles, Mrs. Avon Rich Smart and Mrs. Ethel Hillabrant. We were then favored with two songs by Mrs. Faye King Whitmeyer who made quite a hit with her aud¬ience. Mrs. Lorna Jenkins Draper then favored us with a piano solo. Mrs. Frank Scoville then sang two beautiful songs for us which were also heartily received. The trio then favored us with another se¬lection and after a piano solo by Mrs. Carrie Browning Olson, the assembly was dismissed. GRADUATION TIME Now that April is well begun it seems only a little while until graduation time and then goodbye to O. H. S. will be said by about three hundred seniors. We are not sure at this writing who is most worried, those who may or may not be graduated, or the teachers' committee which passes upon the graduates. The members of this committee report a luke-warmness of some seniors who are now behind with their work and who do not seem in any haste to clear up deficiencies. We earnestly recommend that all seniors who can graduate, get busy and complete everything up to the minute and keep their work up to the minute for the next two months. A list of graduates is being prepared now and if your name is not on the list, it may be due, perchance to a little indif¬ference or sluggishness on your part. Wake up, seniors! PARENTS' DAY All students are reminded that Ogden schools have an annual ex¬hibition and Parents' day every year, and that now is the time to make such preparation as will as¬ sure us a better exhibition and a bigger day than we have ever had before. Surely our parents are expecting us to make some improvement each year, so let us not disappoint them. POOR TEACHERS This is the week, yes, this Is the very day in which teachers are scheduled to receive contracts from the board of education for next year's work. Of all agencies employing help the teaching profession is about the only one where employes must stand the strain of worry as to whether or not they are to con¬tinue in service. In banks, in factories, in mercantile institutions, employes know that so long as they are giving satisfactory service, they will remain ' in service. Teachers, on the oth¬er hand, are contracted by the year and must sit on the "anxious seat*' every spring, awaiting the fatal day when the contract may or may not come. This is another of thl reasons why people say "poor' teachers, we pity them." On the other hand, as of courlM there are always two sides to story, there are many people who are saying today "happy, fortunate teachers," you will have employment for another year, whila many, yes, very many, of us do not know what we shall do next^ year." Life is strange, Isn't it? "THE MIKADO" This is just to give you an idea of the characters and scenes in "The Mikado": Act 1. Courtyard of Ko-Ko's of¬ficial residence. Act 2. Ko-Ko's garden. The mikado of Japan; Nanki-Poo—His son disguised as & wandering minstrel; Ko-Ko—Lord high executioner of Titipu; Pooh- Bah, lord high everything else; Pish-Tish, a noble lord; Yum-Yum, ward of Ko-Ko; Pitti Sing, ward of Ko-Ko; Katisha, an elderly lady in love with Nanki-Poo; chorus of school girls and coolies. How is that for a peppy gang? Wait until you see them on the stage. GAMMA KAPPA More fun! Another party of another kind. This one is to be a "roost" party with dancing after. After this excellent decision h been made and discussed, the chair was turned over to "Wallace Johnson who was in charge of the pro¬gram. A fine quartet, consisting of Lester Grange, Royal Harrop, Gerard Klomp and Roger Kingsford, entertained us with several clever selections. Then came a genuine treat iftj the form of E. Smith and a talk on Germany. His talk centered ofl Heidelberg student life. One thing] that seemed to impress him the fact that the students therfl are not so proud as we to cut initials in their desk! This wofgjjj impress one. He explained evflH thing so vividly we found oursd B traveling with him. We hope Jul will visit us often.—Gamma Kappa LECONTE STEWART We found a choice bit of neiM in th eSalt Lake Telegram ftboud our wonderful art teacher, LeConte Stewart. That article not only sounds lovely, but is lovely, I thing being creditable an'd tru4 JM opens with: "For an artist, particularly M artist of such high repute, LeConte Stewart of Kaysville has more pep than a college yell leader!* It goes on: “I don’t like the greens of summer; they taste like spinach,” Mr. Stewart said, abruptly. “I like fall and winter. The effects are more subtle; there is a finer harmony of color--the tawny tans and browns of the foliage and brush, and the lavenders of the hills and trees. Nature is more responsive; there is more chance to capture her moods in these seasons. The portrayal of a mood is the only thing in nature which interests me. I like the expanse and sweep of desert country; it suggests infinity.”
