A DARK DEED Stealthily, he walked down the hall. Perhaps he might make it unseen. Then, as he rounds the last corner, he sees, in dismay, that this particular part of the hall is Jammed. Not a good setting for his deed. No, he must wait until there are fewer people around. Ah! Now is the time; only a few students stand near, and they are much too Interested in each other to notice him. Just as he is about to commit the deed, a large group of his classmates bursts gaily into the building. Will the time never come? At last, the bell rings and the halls begin to clear. He can delay no longer. After one last agonized glance around to make sure no one Is looking, he steps quickly over to the "Notes" box. He drops his con¬tribution in and walks quickly down the hall with a deep sense of re¬lief pervading his soul. And the dark deed is done.—Wayne Bundy. RIFLES ISSUED During the past week rifles were used for the first time this year in drilling R.O.T.C. units. Seniors, of course, happy to get their old friends j back, and since the juniors are always looking toward their elders and following such worthy examples as they present, they were also glad to engage in the new and novel sport. Seniors were appointed as acting instructors over the junior squads —another reason why the "big brothers" are happy. Thus far the squads have been drilled and in¬structed in the manual of arms as separate units only; however, the younger group at Ogden High school looks forward with the greatest ex¬pectancy to the advent of doing "squads right and left," "about face," and other military move¬ments in-dose ranks because, don't all the experienced boys say "that is when the fun begins?"—Don Dee Olsen. "COLUMBUS" ASSEMBLY In honor of Columbus day, a de¬lightful assembly was held at Og¬den High school last Friday. The student body was called to order by President Baxter after which George Larve announced that a junior was needed to become as¬sistant business manager of the yearbook. A student of Weber college an¬nounced a dance to be sponsored by Weber college October 12. Mr. Merrill commented on the conduct of some students within our school. President Baxter turned the as¬sembly over to Mr. Peterson, who announced that the program was arranged by the history department. A quartet consisting of Glenn Hansen, Mark Robinson, Paul Cragun and William Johnson sang three numbers. The speaker of the day was A. L. Scoville, a prominent Ogden busi¬ness man. Mr. Scoville gave a splen-did address on the history preced¬ing the voyage of Columbus, and the results of this great discovery. After turning the program back to President Baxter the assembly adjourned. 11.

Think, for tomorrow it may be too late; Store all the knowledge you may. Think, for of thoughtlessness you won't be bait, And then to your friends you will say— "I thought and tried, and my goal I have won; I made its colors fly. I worked and played, but I stuck with my job For the strength of Ogden High!" —Irene Westmoreland. EDITORS' NOTE Please, students, don't place articles of an abstract nature in the Notes' box and expect them to be published. Vital news concerning school life or school interest is the only suitable material to be printed. Some excellent English themes have been handed to us but they have no direct connection to student life nor would be of any interest to the public in general. We urge every one to write notes which would immediately attract attention. OLD FAMILY CUSTOM Each year brings new juniors to Ogden High who particularly notice the rundown stairs, the wooden- floored halls and the make-shift auditorium, and they long for a modern building. After a year's perfect attendance (or so we hope), their eyes have become accustomed to the untiled floors while their feet take the ramshackle stairs as a duck takes to water, and they seem to overlook its shabbiness. Upon gradu¬ation, they long to have the "old school" left intact, as a symbol of their happy school days to which they may point with pride and say, "That is the place where I learned to be the man I am now." Through the generations it be¬comes a family custom to attend this school of learning, and each one secretly hopes he won't be forced to discontinue the occurrence, but that she may pass safely through his years of schooling there, not troubled with Hhe creation of a new school. If such is your ambition, rest as¬sured you may reach it, as no storm is in sight upon your horizon, and the same old school will loom ahead as you approach it the next day.— Harold Davis. WHO KNOWS What fellow in Mr. Robins' second period English class went duck hunting the other day when he should have taken a test? Why Mr. Peterson treats three fellows in one of his law classes so badly? How to approach father with a card full of "E's"? When the cadet officers will be appointed? When a lamb ceases to be a lamb and becomes a sheep? (One of Mr. Peterson's fast ones).—Peter Zane.
