CRIME PREVENTION Some one recently suggested that one of the contributing causes of crime among youth is the fact that youth has no work. There is much truth in this statement. We have heard all our lives that "an idle brain is the devil's workshop"—we believe it, but we haven't done much about it. Here is an opportunity to do some constructive work. Super¬vised play has received some at¬tention in a few cities. It should receive much attention everywhere. More important even than this is the necessity of furnishing some employment to youth. Every boy and every girl should be trained to work, to responsibility, to daily tasks and duties. These would do infinitely more for character de¬velopment than all our platitudes and preachments. A MARBLE HEART Her cold, piercing eyes stare at nothing, yet they are wide open. Her white forehead shines in the morning sun, matching the cool paleness of her cheeks—even her lips seem cold, so set are they in an unrelenting line. She holds one I hand above her head in a graceful manner; the other hangs limp at her side. Her white feet are poised in the water that reaches her slen¬der ankles. Pink and Green Lady—will you never relent? At last! At last! She relents— the tears are falling fast down her face, splashing into the water. She really has a soul—watch the love¬ly lady as she weeps. But—she is not weeping; it Is only the water of the ebullient I fountain in which she forms an imposing pink and green center, j She is only a cold figure, without a soul, without a heart! —BEVERLY WOODS CONGRESS BANQUETS Congress, banquet was thrilling, impressive, beautiful, enjoyable and jolly. Well, it was per- feet. On the center of the table was a long low basket of snap¬dragons and daffodils, the beauti¬ful gift of our advisor, Mrs. Cham¬bers. Another of the chief attractions was a box of delicious mints sent all the way from California, the gift of one of our absent members, Ruth Roberts. Reva Beck, congress' organiser and first advisor, was present. She was as charming as ever, in her speech she gave congress high hopes for future successes. Wini¬fred McConnell and Wilma Bailey, two prominent senators from We¬ber college, showed excellent abil¬ity as after-dinner speakers also. A mock trial was conducted. Sen¬ator Vella Fowler acted as prose¬cuting attorney and retained as a witness, Le Leah Murphy. Sena¬tor Dorothy Foulger acted as at¬torney for the defense, with Sena¬tor Nicholas as her witness. The cringing senator (if she is worthy of the title after such accusations) was Margaret Schmalz. Judare Gene Kimball refereed. The decision as announced by Senator Ririe, forman of the jury, was guilty. The, charges were too atrocious to print. Each senator received flow¬ers from the centerpiece to recall one of the most enjoyable and im¬pressive evenings of her life. —MARGARET SCHMALZ. IN MOVIES Ogden people who have attended the showing of "West Point" this week have Taeen much inter¬ested in observing the captain of the football team, Leon Keller, a graduate of the Ogden High school and a champion golf player on the coast. Leon has also appeared in other pictures presented in Ogden. FORUM BANQUET The Forum banquet will be held on Friday evening, May 4, in the Hotel Bigelow. This is the one big social function of the year for the club. One outstanding and pleasing feature of the club is to read letters from and about for¬mer members. This is the only organization of the school that in¬terests itself in this most com¬mendable activity—keeping track of old members. Ogden . . High School News May 3, 1928 It was a class room, like all class rooms, with a wooden floor, kalsomine ceiling, five rows of nicked-up seats and a strip of green blackboard around the room. Of course it had several windows, a door and a hole in the wall for the air to come in, with a screen over it so that it would not be used for a waste basket. The seats were full and the desk in front was occupied. There was a calm over the room, the clock could be heard with its impetuous tick. What could, be the cause? It was the calm before the storm, for it was report card time, and no examination had yet been given. In a shaking whisper, "Don't sit that way, I won't be able to see your paper." Another whisper, "I'll correct your paper if you'll correct mine." From the front comes a com¬manding voice: "Use this period to the best advantage, I've got to get these cards out." The spell is broken; the room sighs.—Bob Hodgson. BUREAU OF INFORMATION About how much does it cost one/ to go through college? It's according to which one you go to. About $500 per year is usually the cost. When do we get out of school? School officially closes the 26th of May. Who is considered the greatest man alive? It's according to what you con¬sider the greatest thing and the man engaged in this occupation would be the greatest. For instance, the biggest prevaricator is Major Hoople. APOLLO! The sun awakes A dim eager ball, And rises on the horizon In search of warmth And brightness. And as Apollo drives his Fiery steeds Along the great arena of the gky He sends his rays, enfeebled By the contest with the night, Into every corner of the smiling World. Each is charged to find a ray Of light, the warmth of smile and heart The glimmering rays Abandoned by the stars. Into the soul of man They steal and borrow For a moment Brief—the light that Is his life, and carry it To the sun. More brilliant now Appear his rays The warmth of earth has made Him jovial, gay, and as he Sinks—a ruddy ball—into the West the brightness is restored Again To earth. —Tom Broadbent. THE KANZLER CUP In the year 1920 a beautiful silver loving cup was given to the best drill company of the R. O. T. C. The custom, which is still practiced, was started by Dr. Kanzler of Ogden—all of the companies of the four junior high schools and high school participating in this yearly event. Its sole purpose is to further interest and enthusiasm among the various companies. Dr. Kanzler, now dead, was as staunch and true a booster as O. H. S. ever had. This act of giving the cup was just one of the many j helpful things that he has done. AWARDS AND HONORS In accordance with a recent rul¬ing of faculty and student body council, after long and serious con¬sideration, there will be given in the high school but a very limited number of awards. These will be given for outstanding merit in dif¬ferent activities. The council is now busly preparing a list of eligibles. The graduating committee went over school records on Wednesday morning and made the three honor rolls. (1) All As, during high school course (four years; (2)7 95" per cent As, and (3), all As or Bs, no Cs. The first list is designated Sum¬ma Cum Laude, the second Magna Cum Laude, the third Cum Laude. Forty-five names appear on these rolls as follows: First, one; sec¬ond, eight; third, thirty-six. The list will be published in the near future. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS At the elimination election Tues¬day, the following students were selected as candidates for the re¬spective offices: For president, Keith Corry, Kent Bramwell; for vice president, Tillman Johnson, Louise Emmett; for secretary, Jeanette Morrell, Jack Norback. COUNCIL On May first the regular council meeting was called to order by President Hales. The roll was called and the minutes were read and ap¬proved. Mr. Larson gave a com¬plete financial report of "The Mi¬kado." The report was accepted. Mr. Larson also reported that phonograph records had been bought and paid for out of student body funds. A motion that a let¬ter concerning the matter cant to the student body treasurer, Mr. Abplanalp, was passed. Zeta Phi Zi was given permis¬sion to have their annual banquet on the 19th of day. Council then adjourned. —Dorothy Foulger, Secretary FORUM DEBATES Forum has finished its triangular debating series, which was in real¬ity a dual meet. Weber, for some unknown reason, decided not to compete. Perhaps they are willing and glad to rest on their laurels. Davis, however, furnished some real competition for the Forum knights and they broke even. At Davis, Karl Hopkins and Till¬man Johnson won the decision for the negative, and at Ogden, Charles Dunn and Tom Broadbent lost to the heady Davis team. R. O. T. C. BANQUET Annual banquet of the officers of the Ogden High R. O. T. C. was held in the Weber club on Wednes¬day night. The table was in the form of a "U," and around the outside of the figure sat Principal and Mrs. A. M. Merrill, Supt. and Mrs. W. K. Hopkins and Mr. and Mrs. Wade Johnson. Major Wadell, the inspecting officer, Captain and Mrs. Graves, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, and Captain and Mrs. Dock¬ler also graced the outer edges of the board. The lesser officers were on the inside of the "U." A beautiful part of the dinner was the presentation to the spon¬sors of a beautiful bouquet of sweet peas. Mr. Hopkins acted as toastmaster. Those responding to toasts were: Mr. Merrill, Gordon Larson, Iris Smith, Captain Dockler, Mrs. Irwin, Mr. Johnson and Major Wadell. We forgot to tell you that Hy. Lammers was there, and that Iris enjoyed the olives. (She ate three dishes of them). INSPECTION OVER At last another inspection is over and the school has made good rec¬ords and impressions. Major Wadell and other officers in inspect¬ing the unit commented very favorably on the various companies and the band. After what was probably the stiffest drill of the year that we have had inspection, B company with Roger ("Bugs") Woods com¬manding, was awarded the Kanzler cup for the highest efficiency. The unit and the school join in con¬gratulating Bugs on his victory. The band cup was awarded to Melvin Atkinson, for making the most improvement all around in band and school for the year. We are sure that he deserved to win it and congratulate him on his ability. After lunch the major met the commissioned officers of the unit and gave them some private in¬dividual examinations and prob¬lems. After these, together with the drill ratings, have been averaged and compared with those of other schools we will know whether Ogden High is to be an honor school again. We are just opti¬mistic enough to believe that under the very capable leadership of Cap¬tain Dockler, Sergeant Halloway, and Sergeant Meyers we will rate high again. BOYS' DAY PARADE The R. O. T. C. seems to be working overtime. On Thursday came inspection and today the fel¬lows formed a great part of the Boys' week parade. The entire unit turned out in fine shape and the people were proud of the showing made by the boys from high school. The band added color to the scene, but had some stiff competition I from the drum corps of the grade schools. The last days of school are rather lazy ones and the boys appreciate a chance to parade, or anything to take the kjck out of the school room. Be -that as it may, it was a wonderful parade. THURSDAY'S ASSEMBLY Another interesting and bene¬ficial assembly was recorded in the minds of the students of O. H. S. when we had as our speaker At¬torney James H. DeVine. He spoke on patriotism and Boys' week. We liked his speech and hope that he will come again. Pete Cain delighted us with two solos, sung as only Pete can sing them, and Melvin Atkinson, the winner of the band cup, played a saxophone solo to show that he really deserved the award. We agree that he did. CLASS SPEAKERS The following students have been selected to take part in the commencement program: Fay Hopkin, valedictorian; Louise Blake, salutatorian; Grant Syphers, orator; Gene Kimball, reader. May 17, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 FAVORS HIGH SCHOOL Dr. E. P. Mills, chairman of the Ogden Kiwanis lecture course, an¬nounces that he will shortly leave 100 tickets at the high school for the eight Kiwanis lectures to be giv¬en during June and July. He is inviting students to purchase these tickets for themselves or others at one dollar each and the money so obtained will be placed to the credit of the school, to be used next spring in the purchase of a beauti¬ful picture from the Springville ex¬hibit. The objects of this magnani¬mous offer are two: (1) To give Ogden students or parents an op¬portunity to attend these wonder¬ful lectures and (2) To help the high school build up an art de¬partment. He is able to make the offer because the tickets purchased by the Kiwanians and their friends will meet the expenses of the course and he feels that this will make a most commendable civic problem for the club. The opportunity of securing these tickets will be given the seniors this week. In case the class acepts the proposition, a committee will be appointed by the class to co-operate with Dr. Mills' committee to select the picture next spring. TYPEWRITING AWARDS Awards won during the month of April in typing are reported by Ethel Franke, teacher, as follows: Royal—Gold pin, Grant Syphers; advanced certificate of proficiency, Fay Hopkin.

On this day the high school students have free rein on the cam¬pus and rooms and are given lunches and a chance to compete in the 40 contests for worth while prizes and honors. The early pro¬gram is as follows: 10. a. m.-—Assembly for special arrangements in assembly room, top floor of museum building. In¬formal reception by U. of U. stu¬dent body. Luncheon tickets is¬sued. 10 to 10:30 a. m.—Free time to make plans for inspecting the uni¬versity buildings. A bureau of in¬formation will be maintained on the grounds to answer questions, give directions and supply guides. 10:30 a. m.—Contests begin, un¬less otherwise scheduled. The evening entertainment will be in the form of an award assem¬bly, band concert and a free dance for the visitors. The dance will be¬gin at 9 p. m. and will take place in the university gym. The award assembly and band concert are scheduled to begin at 7 o'clock. The contests are going to be in¬teresting to all, but we feel that those that O. H. S. students are in will prove to be more interesting, so here are the time and places for the ones we will participate in: Art—Top floor John R. Parks building. Several of Mr. Stewart's students are planning to enter this, trying out for the national poster contest awards. Dramatic—Begins at 9:30 a. m., Stewart hall. The one-act play from Ogden high school will be "Grandma Pulls the Strings." Extemporaneous speaking—L-32 room. Our entry in this will be Grant Syphers. Oral reading—11:30 a. m., Stew¬art hall. Jeanette Rosenberg will compete in this. Vocal—Boys. 10:30 a. m., Uni¬versity ward amusement hall. Don Corey will be our entry. It is the hope of the faculty at the U. of U. that all high school students that are able will bo there to participate in all of the nativi¬ties planned. Come, let's make this U. day the very best of all. HONOR LIST The list handed to The Standard - Examiner of the honor students was not complete; so we am here publishing the names of those who were inadvertently left out: Cum Laude (all A's and B's): Leland Bunot, Grant Syphers, Edna Thatcher, Orva Worman, Mel¬bourne Wright and Ruth Yorgason.
