VALUE OF ASSEMBLIES The reason for holding student body assemblies are numerous, and every student should appreciate their value. The major motive of the exist¬ence of a student body organiza¬tion is for the purpose of present¬ing to the student an opportunity to delve into the affairs of the school. Members of Ogden High handle and solve their own prob¬lems through this association, cre¬ating a school spirit in this manner. In an attempt to further this loyalty, we hold an assembly each week. The creation of patriotism, then, is the big object of our as¬semblies. Next, we have a large amount of talent within our walls—musical, dramatic, and artistic. Why should it go unused? The natural outlet for this ability is to perform at school. By giving everyone his or her chance to display talent, we 11. PUPILS AWAIT SCHOOL REPLY TO SUGGESTION One Period Daily Wanted For Use On Favorite Activities OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar- sen, Associate Editor. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has resulted from the suggestion of hav¬ing one period a day in which to study our favorite vocation. We are naturally curious to know just why such a brilliant idea as this one has been entirely disregarded. Sure¬ly, there would be enough of us eager to participate in our favorite ccupation to make the sponsoring »f this undertaking worth while. All desirable subjects, such as classes in harmony, journalism, pub¬lic speaking, boxing or other pleas-urable occupations would indeed captivate our enthusiasm and in¬spire us with even more incentive than before. We therefore plead, in voicing the opinion of a student body, for the establishment of favored activ-ities as a part of the high school curriculum. TRAINING ALLOTMENT. We are glad to be informed that the war department had Increased the number of cadets to be trained at Ogden High from four hundred to five hundred. The new uniforms asked by the board of education are to be sent to the school also. All who made attempts to pro¬cure the increased allotment of men for training and the additional uni-forms are to be highly commended for their valued efforts to this end. The school, especially the R. O. T. C. department, owes a great deal to the men who have our best inter¬ests at heart. We are certain that the cadets will show their appreciation by bending every effort to gain the ut¬most good from the training they will receive. WRONG TIME. Have you noticed, students, that many of the clocks are slower in running than they should be, Of course this occurrence is due to faults in the mechanisms of the timepieces, but instructors think it very convenient to have the hands of the clocks pointing to the wrong hour. In this way, students will never know when the period ends, and as a result will not be too im¬patient waiting for the bell to ring. Some have had a habit of slyly watching the fixture on the wall, when they thought the teacher was not noticing them. "Ten after three," they would say. 'Ah, only twenty more minutes." But now, when clocks are wrong, such speculation is impossible. TO YOU. Be glad, be joyous, be gay; There's light, there's sunshine, there's day. Be glad for happiness too; Then brighter will seem life to you. HISTORY COURSE. The course of study followed by the senior history classes during the past weeks is a most vital and in-teresting one. The underlying rea¬sons why a hardy band of colonists broke away from the tyrannical grasp of England to create a coun¬try according to their own liking are explained in a most minute de¬tail. We are amazed to hear once more of the attempts made by Eng¬land to keep the thirteen colonies under her rule. On the whole, the history of the colonists' break for freedom is most valuable to us even now. We have learned from them that we have a right to be free and do as we please as long as we stay within reason. As we look back across the years, we as a nation can feel proud that we have grown from thirteen strug¬gling groups of Americans to the mightiest nation on the face of the globe! ASSEMBLY. With a few reminders concerning the result of the water fight, Presi¬dent Baxter called the regular as-sembly to order last Friday. Charlene Scowcroft, a former member of Ogden High, played a piano solo, Liszt's "Hungarian Rhap-sody, No. 12." Leon Cowles played an accordian selection of the pop¬ular tango type. We were delighted to have as the speaker of the day, a former presi¬dent of the Ogden High student body, Lewis Wallace. Mr. Wallace is now one of the younger attorneys of Ogden. He spoke on our Friend week and on the value of making and having good friends. Mr. Merrill made a few remarks concerning what he called "the first and most memorable waterless wa¬ter fight ever held at Ogden High." The assembly then adjourned. GIRLS' COUNCIL One girl from every room in the building was elected to represent her class in Girls' council. A meet¬ing was held Thursday afternoon in which was discussed, with other business, the expenses of the Little Sister party. There is now only twenty-one dollars and seventy-five cents in the treasury of the Girls' association. Naturally, everyone is desirous to increase this fund con¬siderably, and for this purpose a rummage sale will be held at a later date. FACTS. Mary S. has been very happy lately. Could it be because he has come home? The seniors seem to regard the juniors as "green horns." The junior girls have so much attraction for the senior boys. Keith Stratford stands by the li¬brary door during his spare mo¬ments. Does E. hold all the attrac¬tion? A certain blond senior girl doesn't give me a break. Won't someone please tell her? Does everyone know that Leland W. is on the loose? One at a time, girls! —Buffalo Bill. NEWS FROM MISSOURI. Word comes from a Missouri training school that Miss Isabella Prindle passed the English test of that school with the highest rating of all entering students. Congratu¬lations, Isabella. Wanted: Second hand U. S. his¬tory books. See history teachers. 12. STUDENTS ASK O.H.S. TO GIVE MORE LOCKERS Inconvenience Encounter¬ed; Uniforms For Girls Advocated OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Emily Merrill, editor. Blaine Larsen, associate editor. We, the unfortunate students of Ogden High school who do not have lockers, are making a plea to the school. Carrying books, pens and ink has not proved enough to com¬plain about; but now that mornings are cooler, and it is necessary to wear coats, the lack of lockers be¬comes a handicap. We feel that we cannot burden our friends with our wraps, although they may be kind enough to offer their assistance. If something can be done about the locker situation, the lockerless stu¬dents would greatly appreciate an answer to their plea.—M. W. FIRST LEAGUE GAME Tomorrow afternoon the Ogden Tigers will engage Preston High in the first league football game of the season. The conflict will take place in the stadium at three p. m. sharp. It might be well to men¬tion the fact that this will be the first time our team has ever played the Preston squad in a league en¬counter. Thus, we don't know just what to expect from the Idaho fel¬lows. do know, however ,that our team will be more than ready to defend the honor of Ogden High. Students, let's turn out en masse and give our Tigers a big sendoff! They will fight for us. Let's show them that we, too, will support them. The price of admission will be either your student body ticket or twenty- five cents. Come one, come all! Let's start the football season off in the proper manner!
