FORUM CLUB The Forum club, the boys' debat¬ing organization of our school, at¬tended in a body the debate between Weber college and Stanford. A notable feature of the debate was the fact that Will Rogers, Jr., son of the famous comedian, was one of the contestants from Stanford. It is interesting to note that our own Weber college acts as host to so many famous colleges and people during the course of the debating season. OGDEN—WEBER After a highly successful season, the Ogden Tigers next Friday face the strong Weber County High quint in quest of their tenth victory.

TO UNIVERSITY Principal Merrill, Student Body President Dick Baxter, Vice Presi¬dent Bertha Barker, Blaine Larsen, secretary of the Student Body association and the president of Girls' association, Lois Ensign are guests of the University of Utah to¬day. CADET HOP The R. O. T. C. unit of Ogden High school held its annual social affair, the cadet hop, in the Berthana last Thursday. There was no doubt in the minds of those present as to the success of this social function. Gay cadets and ladies spent delightful hours in an atmosphere that was purely military. The appearance of the "crack company," the sponsors, and the cadet officers was especially pleas¬ing. The drills presented by the spe¬cial company were well timed and very ably executed. According to Major Dyer, head of the R. O. T. C. unit at Ogden High, the performance of the crack com-pany last Thursday was the best it has been in three years. Congratulations, Cadets! BIG CANDY SALE The Ex Lebris club is having a big candy sale Wednesday, February 27, so everybody bring your nickles.— Zelda Smethurst.

Darrel Robins is to be the publicity manager. With those offi¬cers Alpha Sigma is surely going to succeed. 14. LOFTY IDEALS FOUND IN LIFE OF WASHINGTON Sacrificed Self On Altar of Patriotism, Declares Writer OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar¬sen. Associate Editor. "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his country¬men!" That is a quotation rightly applied to the father of this great country. George Washington was born February 22, 1732, and died, after devoting his whole life to the service of his country, December 14, 1799. Washington lived in the eight¬eenth century but, like Lincoln, he does not belong to his age alone, but to ,all ages. In the dark, trouble¬some days of the American Revolu¬tion with his great foresight, knowl-edge of his country and understand¬ing of the human heart, he led his people successfully through the dangerous times of America's first national war. Today, if he were to return to the earth, he probably would stand at the helm of state, once more and successfully lead the country through another war, the dark and gloomy war of the depres¬sion. Though this great man was essen¬tially a lover of peace, he sacrificed himself and his wants on the altar of patriotism. He loved his beautiful home at Mount Vernon and his greatest desire was that he might dwell there in peace with his beloved wife, Martha Washington, and play the part of a country squire, but Washington was never to realize his desire. He gave linstintingly his services to his native land until he was sure they were needed no more. When he retired from active service, he was so exhausted by the vigorous life he had led that he lived to en¬joy his home for only a few years, and then passed on to the everlast¬ing slumber that was his righteous reward.—Barbara Clark. TO CLUBS One of the extra-curricular activi¬ties in which clubs indulge is basketball. Every organization at¬tempts to maintain a high standard by having each of its members sup¬port activities, yet not a very large percentage participates in inter- club basketball tournaments. There are seventeen clubs at Og¬den High school. Why don't each of the seventeen clubs turn out to basketball games one hundred per cent? Let's be loyal; let's support basketball tournaments. Two-court basketball will begin Monday, February 24. The schedule of the games is on both bulletin boards and in Mrs. White's office. The playing will begin promptly at twelve. May all be there.—Club Member. INTERESTING SPEAKER Miss Woolley's sixth period oral expression class had the pleasure of listening to a tall: by Mr. R. C. Glasmann during our class period last Friday. Mr. Glasmann told us what happens to a play from the time it is accepted by the board of directors of a motion picture com¬pany until it is shown upon the screen in our own city. The class wishes to take this opportunity in thanking Mr. Glasmann for his in-teresting talk.—Anna Saunders. PLEDGE PARTY The pledges of Phi Lambda Tau entertained the members at a lovely card party Saturday evening, February 16. This party was held at the home of Mildred Beck, one of the pledges. A light lunch was also en joyed. By the way, if you don't know ou pledges, let me intorduce to you twi lovely girls, Mildred Beck and Beth Giles. You make fine pledges-- Barbara Foulger. Phi Lambda Tau wishes to extend its; greatest sympathy to one of its members, Kathryn McGowan, who is in the hospital. Hurry and get well, Katie. — B. F., Phi Lam Re¬porter. HIGH SCHOOL MOURNS All students of Ogden High school are bowed in grief at the passing of Ida Fitzsimmons. Because Miss Fitz¬simmons was supervisor of primary grades during the past 16 years practically every student in the en¬tire system has come under her benign influence. Nor is there in the system a student who does not cherish the happy memory of many happy days spent under the care of this most lovely, loveable, admir¬able woman. One who was always cheerful, always optimistic, always encouraging and helpful. Teachers as well as students unite in paeans of praise for their beloved leader, teacher, friend. Miss Ida Fitzsimmons is not dead for she lives still in lives of all who were fortunate enough to come under her care. NEW MEMBERS The Ex Libris club is pleased to an¬nounce the entrance of three lovely pledges into the club. Their initia-tion took place last Friday at the home of Buellah Cherry. The pledges are: Zelda Smethhurst, Marjorie Hadley and Marian Knauss. SNOW IN TOWN The town was full of dirt and dust The winter brought but rain and rust, And hearts were low— Then came the snow To fall all through one frosty night And clothe the town in sparkling white. The wind might blow And whistle so But hearts were warm through¬out the town To see about all up and down The welcome glow Of winter's snow. —Elizabeth Parkinson.
