TATTLES Well, I might as well try to take Burp II's place, because he told me that he wasn't writing gossip any more. Of course, perhaps I won't be able to do as well as he did, but I'll try. How do you like the fair spon¬sors? It was a pretty good idea to choose them as they did. After all, you know, the company has to as¬sociate with the sponsors as much as the captain. Bang! Somebody tripped Angus, and he fell face down. When he got up, he was looking at Ruth LaVin. It seems to affect him im¬mensely, so please, LaVin, help him. Margaret, I wish you would try to find someone in school to cen¬ter your attraction on. John K. has had his chance; perhaps Frank R. (a junior) would appreciate it. Two senior girls are doing their best, too, to catch the admiration of Jim Randall. Jim, must you be so mean? Jack Doone, champion of heart breakers, is "free" again, ladies. Do not all speak at once! Well, folks, my bedtime is approaching, so I'll be seeing you again.—"Jiggers." 8. LIFE LONELY FOR STUDENTS OF CHEMISTRY Room Isolated From Rest of Building; Clock and Radio Lacking OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Are chemistry students inferior to other students of Ogden High school? You say "No." Why, then, have they not the privileges of other students? Why are they not informed of the latest announce-ments of school activities as the students of other classes? Why are they not allowed to know what time it is during class? How does the school expect to receive the support of the chemists at the school activi¬ties if the chemistry room is iso¬lated from the rest of the school? Will someone please answer these questions, and tell why the chem¬istry room is equipped with neither a clock nor a radio receiver?—The Chemists. JOIN RED CROSS! In every walk of life And over all the earth Amidst the cruelest strife Red Cross has shown its worth. So join this world-wide call, Oh, every loyal heart, Oh, join you one and all, Be proud to do your part! —Elizabeth Parkinson. MILITARY ASSEMBLY Commemorating the sixteenth anniversary of the end of the World war, the student-body Mon y held a special assembly in hon-r of the occasion. The band played two martial airs and we heard, as the speaker, Mr. Royal J. Douglas, an Ogden lawyer. Mr. Douglas spoke concerning the war and the immediate period after the conflict. Mr. Merrill also made a few re¬marks in keeping with the spirit of the day. We were pleased to note the presence of the cadets in their full uniform. Their attend¬ance in uniform of a unit of the army added greatly to the feeling of patriotism that was evident in the audience. WAR ON ILLITERACY What a strange world this must be to people who cannot read or write. Suppose you could not write a letter, read a book, or the news¬paper. What a dreary existence! Yet in the United States there are 4,000,000 illiterate people and 8,000,- 000 who are classed as "near il¬literates." About a year ago the war on il¬literacy was declared. In continu¬ation of this war the federal emer¬gency relief administration plans to have unemployed teachers teach the illiterate. With the uneducated person being given such a chance, it is evident that he will be better fitted for better jobs. Illiteracy in this country has de¬creased from 13.5 per cent in 1890 to 4.3 per cent in 1930. The drive on illiteracy during the Hoover ad¬ministration helped a great deal. Now with a nation-wide drive under way, I believe that before long nearly every person above the age of six will be able to read and write.—Velma Hunter. WHY SEE UTAH FIRST? Many people seem to think that in order to see new and interesting things that they must leave the state or even go abroad. This is a mistake common to most everyone. However, if one is but eager, ob¬servant, and ambitious, he will dis¬cover that his own surroundings contain unusual subjects just as in¬teresting as those found abroad. First our canyon to the east of us is considered one of the most beautiful canyons in the United States. Further, this same canyon is the result of some of the most complicated changes found in the world. Anyone, no matter how ig¬norant of geological facts he may be, has but to drive through Ogden canyon and observe the various formations of its walls to realize that here, indeed, Mother Nature has wrought many a great geologi¬cal change. Although Ogden canyon is a fea¬ture of interest and pride to the in¬habitants of Ogden, we have to the south of us scenic attractions which are unrivaled the world over for their priceless glories; namely, Zion's canyon, Bryce canyon, Ce¬dar Brakes, and Kaibab forest. The southern part of our state is indeed called "The Land of Flaming Can¬yons and Prismatic Amphitheatres." These beautiful, ancient master-pieces of the ages contain all sorts of vari-colored, weird formations. Formations so queer they seem al¬most to be the fantasies of an over¬wrought imagination are here por¬trayed in a gorgeous color scheme, that only nature could create. A beautiful description of these can¬yons is given by Whittier: "Touched by glory that hath no name, A glory never sung. Aloft on sky and mountain high, Are God's great pictures hung." So wonderful are these gorgeous canyons — Kaibab forest, Cedar Brakes, and other scenic wonders of Utah that every inhabitant of this state should feel it his duty to see them and realize the generosity with which nature has bestowed its greatest beauties at your feet.— Harold Barnett. HAVE YOU NOTICED? The fourth great "Triumphirate —Earl, Jane and Stew? (Never one without the other, so it seems.) How well the sponsors look in their uniforms? That the A. C. fellows still rate? That these junior girls don't stop with seniors? Oh, my no! That the notes are sadly lacking in humor? What can the matter be? Plenty of material is sent in. Why isn't it published? That these senior girls are just too much.—Zipper. P. S.—The R. O. T. C. officers look well in their uniforms, too.
