Show Mr. Stewart is a true booster for Utah's art, having some very defi¬nite and logical ideas. "Art in Utah is ahead of the pub¬lic," he said. "The public isn't really conscious of what is being accomplished in Utah compared to our surroundidng sister states. It ' needs a wholesome patronage—a j little more interest in things that make for permanent values as against the fleeting things of life. We need an art gallery placed in Liberty park, something to house our state collections, something where traveling exhibits may be hung, something where our Utah artists may bring their newest work, both to keep the local artists in touch with the advance in art in general, and to prove to the public here that Utah art compares favor¬ably with that outside the state." The O. H. S. is proud to have LeConte Stewart as one of its fac¬ulty members and wishes him all ,further luck. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I am a senior and I don't want to be paired for the junior prom, as I think it would be too em¬barrassing for everyone to know that I had to be paired, so what shall I do? I would like to go, and I don't suppose I will get a date, but I don't want to be paired.— Sylvia. Dear Sylvia: I think that is where the fun enters—being paired. You never know just whom you will get, and then, there enters in that element j of being a "good sport." There is no disgrace in being paired—some of the best kids will be paired, so if I were you and wanted to go like you say you do, I am quite sure I wouldn't be opposed to be¬ing paire. I don't know just how they are going to do it this year, j you had better see the chairman of that committee. All seniors who don't hand in their names as hav¬ing a date, will be paired, so if you don't want to be, hand in your name on a slip of paper, saying that you have a date, to the chair¬man of that committee. We would like to announce that we have added another member to our "Crutchette club," and that is Ellen Fairweather. You will see ner wandering around the halls on those necessary crutches—the sign of her new "pledgeship." To the "Crutch club" we would like to announce to you that Tom Broadment is possibly going to be an addition to your ranks. If he can be induced to let his foot hurt a little more and consequently get some crutches, he will be an ideal member. PROM ESPANOL A faint guitar . . . then 'neath the moon he sings, j His languid fingers suddenly grown light, His burning love pours gaily from the strings, And mingles with the perfume of the night. Her flashing eyes from lustre of dark hair Gaze down at him beneath the window sill, Ah, moonlit Spain, that I might now be there Beside that dusky lover of Seville. Impossible ... to hear his song, 'There in the grandeur of old Spain; But gathering at the junior prom The fiesta there makes the dream I wane. FACTS CONCERNING THE JUNIOR PROM Do you realize that the most vi¬tal social event of the year is com¬ing? When juniors fete seniors? When seniors turn over, as it were, 4tie reins of management to their j mccessors, the juniors, and ac¬knowledge them as capable? Do jou know that there is but a scant two weeks until the twentieth? And lave you made your date yet, or sre you willing to let the pairing ommittee take a hand? No one that really matters ever misses this chance to see and be seen and no one that is really wise defers get¬ting their date and tickets to the last minute; so take heed and act accordingly. Tonight is our literary night, as it were. We want you to read :he following and recognize its literary merit: NATURE As a child, nature, to me, seemed to be a supreme, fearsome force; a strong and relentless agent of God, and no ally of men. Yet in its almighty way, it has showed me its beautiful, friendly, inner mean¬ing, in a way that I can never forget. One summer day the heat was intense; so burning intense that it seemed alive. I puttered sorrow¬fully about in my small, pebbled garden which I had created proud¬ly, but which now was withered and drooping before my eyes while I was helpless to prevent it. My lamentations against cruel nature were especially profound and bit¬ter. Then without warning a breathless stillness stole into the air. The hot breeze ceased so suddenly that I, too, caught my breath. In ac¬cordance with all else, I stopped, sat suddenly, and waited. The air grew dark and heavy. The stillness changed to a low rush as they sky filled itself with thick, black clouds that sat ominously on their haunches and waited for a command. The air grew tense and all thought seemed to stop and tremble. Boom! A mighty crash, that was the command and the heavy warrior clouds dashed j along at each other, tearing their spirits out and merging into each other. Then a rapier-like flash rip¬ped the tears from the eyes of the vanquished and sent them scurry¬ing to earth. The warm drops splashed on me sitting there in my little garden un- frightened, gathering a strange, new peace. The rain fell its rapid way to earth, each drop cooling and soothing it. My thirsty garden, drank in eagerly the refreshing rain and took on its old beauty and a new life. The rain seemed to have washed away all the evils that the earth had seen; washed away all the ug¬liness it contained. Everything was fresh and smiling. As I sat, heedless of the wetness of my face, pondering all this, my soul seemed to be cleaned by the self-same rain, and in its joy sang a little song of friendliness. —YELLA FOWLER. THE MIKADO There is another date that you must not forget! And that is the 18th of April. Be sure and get your date now, or else make arrange¬ments to go with someone, for you must not, under any conditions, miss the best opera that has ever been put on by high school stu-dents. And that is the Mikado, by Sullivan. Iris is adorable in her role, and Gordan absolutely stun¬ning, and Lee—well, you know how Lee is when he is on his "dignity." Kent is going to surprise you while Gladys and Blanche are really the cutest things ever. Don't miss it. Wednesday, April 18, at the Orpheum theatre. The senior girls met in the li¬brary Wednesday after school and discussed (much to their delight) the problem of dresses. Graduation dresses to be exact, and conse¬quently the topic was all-absorbing. Mrs. Irwin, Mrs. Newcomb and Miss Corless were there and offered their invaluable aid and opinions, and—well, just wait until gradua¬tion night, if you want to see some¬thing really beautiful in the way of girls. Eight West high R. O. T. C. of¬ficers visited O. H. S. this morn¬ing. They saw the latter part of our drill, saying that our companies : were far ahead of theirs. They spent an hour around school and then went to visit Company E at South junior. They commented on the fine spirit shown in our R. O. T. C. and the fine appearance of our marching. The boys had kmch at our cafe¬teria. After which they watched the students play tennis. They extend an invitation to our officers to visit West high. WANTED—EDUCATIONAL SALESMEN Apropos the engagement of teachers, the following taken from Educational Review .is pertinent: These are the sort of teacher sales¬men wanted: Those who can take a brand of education, undiluted, understand it so well and present it so forcefully, attractively and convincingly that it will be castoria to the children— they'll cry for it. Craftsmen who can take the teacher's job, jammed with oppor¬tunities and make a world beater out of it. Strategists, who can weld a class of thirty youngsters into a team of pennant winners. Business getters who can devise schemes of extending the sales service of its educational ideas into wider markets and of broadening by means of an enthusiastic par¬ticipation in community work, the channels of good will already developed. Bold adventurers in the realm of j what's what, who dare venture beyond the pavement into the promised land of that's that. COUNCIL MEETING At the regular time and place council was called to order by President Hales. The roll was called and the minutes were read and approved. On the recommendation of the club committee it was moved and j seconded that Zeta Phi Zi be given permission to elect a new senior member. The motion was carried. At the request of Mr. Skeen, Phi Lambda Tau and Carpe Diem were given permission to have parties on the following Friday and Sun¬day, respectively. Mr. Roberts reported on the plans for posting the recommended re¬visions. The report was accepted. On motion of Mr. Cain a committee was appointed to meet with the faculty committee of awards. Mr. Broadbent, Mr. Woods, Mr. Fisher, Miss Foulger and Miss Garner were selected by the president. On motion of Mr. Woods, council adjourned. DOROTHY FOULGER. Secretary. ATTORNEY AND JUDGE DISAGREE Hendricks Refuses Now that Easter is over and everyone has been to church and has eaten all the necessary Easter breakfasts, we settle down on the last lap of the big race to victory or blank diplomas. BETA PHI XI Another home meeting and a plan unique! On Friday night Margaret Nordquist was the hostess and among other business, a new senior member was elected. Congratula¬tions, Lucille Fowles. Isn't she the luckiest thing? About that plan, it is going to be a party of a new kind. There has been nothing like it yet but wait and watch us! No, oh no, we're not going to tell you about it yet. There was also plenty of inter¬esting discussion about a big, Peppy, fun party at the very last of the year to put the cork back into the bottle of effervescing spirits.—Kathryn Blake, Reporter. ROSE CAMPAIGN To the principals and teachers of the Ogden city schools: The Ogden Civic league is again this year conducting its annual rose campaign and is asking your as¬sistance. The success in previous campaigns has been due to the in¬terest you have taken and to the whole-hearted co-operation you have extended. The Civic league is indebted to Mr. Hopkins, the prin¬cipals and the teachers of the Og¬den public schools for an immense amount of credit in Americaniza¬tion work on account of the rose campaigns conducted through the school. The state and the national federated club women consider this work a great factor in the upbuild¬ing of better citizenship. The Ogden Civic league wishes to express its sincere appreciation for the success in the past and for the anticipated success in the coming campaign. The roses this year can be secured at the most reasonable price of 50 cents each. Climbers: American Beauty, red; Paul Scarlet, red; American Pillar, pink; Dorothy Perkins, pink.

OGDEN IS REPRESENTED At the cross-country Saturday in Salt Lake, Ogden High was represented by Wayne Fish and Dick Barker. Wayne made quite a rec¬ord at the high school last year and Richard is Tom's brother. These fellows placed somewhere in the lead of the 85 athletes but were not fortunate enough to win first. Any¬way, we congratulate them on the fine showing they made and know that they with the other members of the O. H. S. track team will give the other schools something to worry about in the field and on the cinder court this year. COMING ATTRACTION Work is progressing on "The Mikado." Mr. Peterson reports that the members of the opera cast: are working hard and are becoming very efficient in their roles. It won't be long now before the big event arrives. If you have dates to get better get them. If you haven't, you need only think of the oepra itself. It would seem that the Junior Prom is being held this year to celebrate the assured success of "The Mikado." On the twentieth of this month the juniors announce to the world that they are to be the guests to the much beloved! seniors at the annual dansante. This is just to announce to the seniors that pairings will be made immediately and that unless they have their dates they may find themselves with an unknown partner on their hands. Just the same that's where most of the fun comes in. Ask some of the "grads." Just announcing the tryouts for the Lewis oratorical contest. All those interested in the art of oraatory should try out for this team. Last year Ogden won the contest and as a result won the beautiful loving cup presented by Mr. Lewis. This year he has presented another cup and asked that we allow Weber County High to participate in the contest. From this we see that we have work to do in upholding the reputation of our school, and every¬one is urged to try out for the team. Tryouts will be held on the twenty-third of April in Miss; Irvine's room at 3:30 o'clock. All those who desire to enter are ask¬ed to see Miss Irvine at once and register for the contest. MAY TRANSFER CAPTAIN Principal Merrill has received a letter from Col. A. V. P. Anderson, advising that Captain Carl J. Dockler is to be transferred at the close of the present season. It goes with¬out saying that the principal, the superintendents of schools and the board of education are doing all they can to get the government officials to change their minds, and to leave captain Dockler with the R. O. T. C. at Ogden. He is doing a magnificent piece of work here and we think he should be left here for some time yet.

Ogden High CONTESTS The literary editor of the Classicum annual wishes to announce that a contest is now starting (with this notice) to determine the best short story and poem to be submitted by any one in high school. There will be a prize of three dollars for the best poem sub¬mitted. These manuscripts must be absolutely original and they must be in before or on Friday, April 27. They can be handed to either Mrs. Newcombe or Marjorie Kelley. It is the wish of the staff that as many as possible try out for these contests. The best short story and best poem will be published in the Classicum annual, and therefore the prize of three dollars and the honor gained are well worth the efforts. Don't forget the date—April 27— and let's have a fair representation of all. They are not to be love I stories, or blood and thunder stories, but real and worthwhile ones, such as are fit to be published in the annual. If you desire any more information on this subject, see Marge Kelley or Mrs. Newcombe. April 27! SENIORS Graduation and all its attendant joys and sorrows is making the seniors very much alive. To prove this statement, the senior meeting which was decided upon last week was held oh Monday, April 9. As they go out of school, the sen¬iors desire to leave something for future generations, something that will whisper down the mouldy hall of ages, "Remember the class of '28." Now the question is, what shall this something be? After a discussion of the matter, it was decided that further investigation along certain lines might prove to advantage, and so the committee was detailed to do this work. Another meeting will be held on Wednesday, April. 11, which will probably decide the great question. —-F. H. CONGRESS Congress has solved a great problem, a problem that has been worrying the business men for, years. The question was, "Resolved: That chain stores should be abolished." The worthy members decided after serious deliberation that chain stores are of benefit to the United States. The senators' dcision was influenced by the argu¬ments of Miss Abbot and Miss Thomas. Miss Rose for the affir¬mative, brought out some very good points. She is indeed a true house woman. All congress agreed that no housewife will put on her hat and coat every five minutes just to go down and patronize a chain store. Miss Rose's arguments, if she had had the help of Miss Man¬ning, who was unable to attend, might have influenced the senators to such an extent that chain stores i would have been forever abolished. —Margaret Schmalz. |
