day. The uniform makes us all equal in appearance, so outwardly we are distinguished or marked as neither rich nor poor, but all com¬mon citizens of a great republic. He advocated a respect for the uni-form and encouraged all to appre¬ciate the uniform and take best pos¬sible care of it. He also spoke on personal cleanli¬ness, on manners and on healthful, wholesome, clean living. After this talk the subjects men¬tioned were discussed in each class¬room by all boys in the school. AN INNOVATION Frequently in the past the girls of the high school have had spe¬cial meetings about once a month. Hereafter, according to Principal Merrill, we shall have boys' meet¬ings as frequently and as regularly as girls' meetings. We think this a step in the right direction. DR. PETTY TALKS Dr. Russell Petty gave a very in¬teresting talk on the care of the teeth before Mr. Oberhansley's phy-siology class Tuesday. EXECUTIVE PLEASED Superintendent Hopkins visited every classroom in Ogden High school Tuesday. He was much pleased with our splendid enroll¬ment and the excellent work wit¬nessed in every classroom. He also gave a report at the microphone on his trip to Butte with the athletic team. He compli¬mented the boys very highly on their conduct and the excellent game played at Butte before 4000 spec¬tators. The management of the ho¬tel and also the railroad officials, he said, spoke in highest terms of the conduct of our boys en route and at Butte. A COINCIDENCE Twenty years ago last Saturday Ogden High school played Butte. The score on that occasion was 10 to 10. It is said that Ogden was penalized on that occasion 185 yards so they couldn't win. We do not vouch for this statement—we only give it as reported to us. Ed Smyth of Ogden, now of Butte, was on that team twenty years ago. Naturally he was delighted to have the Ogden team up there, and he showed his delight by entertaining the boys most royally at lunch and in excursion tours about Butte. It surely was a treat to find an old friend in that far off city. Thanks a million, Ed. 15. APPEAL MADE FOR NON-COMS OF CADET UNIT Positions Deserve Greater Attention, Writer Declares OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Yes, the day has come at last. The men of each R.O.T.C. com¬pany are proudly pointing to their capable young officers. They feel, I know, relieved to learn who the lucky fellows are, for now they can buckle down and struggle for a po¬sition as a non-commissioned of¬ficer. Our commissioned officers are worthy, we all know, but an¬other thing we do know is that there are many students in good old O. H. S. who could reliably fill a prominent position if there were but positions for them. Know¬ing, of course, that all can't be captains these men carry on, but deep in their hearts some feel slighted. Some feel as if their work, their attendance and effort have been in vain. Some feel it is no honor to hold a non-commis¬sioned position. They do not stop to think that were it not for these men R.O.T.C. would be almost im¬possible. Perhaps the reason they don't respect the office more is be¬cause no one heaps any extra praise or honor on it. They feel they are taken too much for granted (and they probably are) for we hear lit¬tle praise for them. I think a great deal of this in¬ternal strife could be eliminated if a list of honor names could be but published. Why couldn't some¬one print, in the notes, the names of the non-coms? Why can't this important link in the chain of rou¬tine be crowned with the credit that it justly deserves? Truly the morale of our drill must be upheld above all things, and I honestly be¬lieve this suggestion will aid if fol-lowed out.—Luxo R. O. IMPORTANT Have you ever tried to impress someone from a state other than the one in which you live, or even from a foreign country? If you have you know what a hard thing this is. If you have not, you ought to try it . You cannot tell what another's interests are until you have been in his company for an hour or two and sometimes not even then. He would naturally be the same way about you. Therefore, the question is what can you talk about that will interest and impress the other person. If you talk about the country or state you live in, it will not impress him a great deal. It is natural that you should know about your country and state. If you can talk about his state or country he is impress-ed and interested at once. He takes great pleasure in discussing this with you. He can answer your questions or correct your state¬ments if your information of the country is not correct. All this time he is getting a good or a poor impression of you, ac¬cording to your knowledge or ig-norance. It is almost as necessary for you to know about other states and countries as it is to know about your own. It will always be of great use to you.—Francell Bishop. SOLVED? Of course, we all stay up almost every night to get our lessons. Ahem! As a result we are sleepy in school the next day. When the teacher asks a question we look at him as though we were insulted, because he asked us a question while we were having such a nice nap. Of course, teacher does not take it that way. He just opens his grade book and puts a Palmer method "F" beside our name. He does not realize that if he had ask¬ed the question again we could have answered it. Instead of getting credit for all that hard work the night before, we get a black look, an "F', and an interrupted nap. After having been awakened two or three times myself, I find it is a very serious matter. So I have devised a plan to keep awake. First: Go to bed early. Let your lessons go. Second: Get out of bed in the morning so that you will be 25 minutes late instead of five. Third: Take to school three or four long, straight pins. Fourth: Have a pair of pinch¬ers handy. I find, if none of these work, the best thing to do is to go to sleep- Marion Crowe.
