THE OLD RED SCHOOLHOUSE An old red schoolhouse stands to¬day A monument to learning's way. About it now are paths well worn Where boys and girls have trudged each morn. . And within the halls re-echo still — The songs of days gone by— In that old red schoolhouse down the street That's known as Ogden High. —Elizabeth Parkinson. TA ETA NU Helen Homan, Joanne Smith, Janet Wilcox, and Marjorie Hatch are the happy girls who have been chosen as Ta Eta Nu pledges. The first meeting will be held Wednes¬day night. We welcome these girls and hope that in the coming year Ta Eta Nu will do bigger and better things.—Club Reporter. FIRST MEETING OF YEAR The Clever Conversationalists held their first meeting of the new year during the first period on Monday in Mr. Robbins room. The following officers were elected for a term of six weeks: Verna Farbes, president; Helen Johnson, vice president; Alice Barton, secretary; and Barbara Clark, reporter. After the election book reports on the "Vicar of Wakefield" by Gold¬smith and "A White Bird Flying" by Beth Streeter Aldrich were given by Barbara Clark, Elzada Carlson, and Adella Westbrook. The class seemed to enjoy the reports, for it was interesting to note the reaction of the girls towards the books they had read. After the book reports the class had a short discussion on them and how they had been delivered. The presiding president then called the meeting to a close.— Barbara Clark, Reporter. GUESS AGAIN, FOLKS Who is H. Curtwright really go¬ing to take to the "Accolade?" What caused a certain fellow to blush in assembly Friday? Where Roy P. got his new tie and collar clasp? Could a certain blond have anything to do with it? Why Keith S. is not leaning on the well known radiator lately? Why Edna Riley and a certain fellow don't get along so well? What makes Puggy so happy lately? Why the senior fellows can't be satisfied with senior girls? We owe some respect to junior fellows. The j juniors should also be fair to seniors and leave the senior girls alone.—Guessing. 6. ADVICE HANDED TO PESSIMISTS OF OGDEN HIGH Open Requests Will Lead To Changes 'Knockers' Are Assured OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor A great deal was said last year about "knockers." This branch of humanity consists of those people who, because they do not agree with the operation of some school organ¬ization, condemn the actions of those in charge. If the students and teachers of this school feel that any group is not being directed to the best advantag of the school as a whole, we sugges that those persons make know their objections in the proper man¬ner! A mere hint to a group as to a class is grossly insufficient as far as bringing about a needed change. Present your changes to those in charge. Don't discuss your dissatis¬faction just to your little circle or class. Come to the front and state your case! Don't be "knockers." HEAR YE! Beta Zeta Tau, the art club, is conducting an art exhibition in Mr. Stewart's room in Ogden High school for two weeks. The public is invited to attend. Since this is said to be the best exhibition the club has ever sponsored, we are sure everyone will enjoy seeing it. It began today. DID YOU KNOW The rate of evaporation increases with an increase of temperature? The rate of evaporation increases as the surface area of a liquid in¬creases? The rate of evaporation varie with the nature of a liquid? The rate of evaporation is in creased when the atmospheric pressure is reduced? Solids dissolved in liquids rais the boiling point? Gasses dissolved in liquids usuall lower the boiling point? Such applicable laws are taught tc students studying physics at high school? ACCOLADE SOON!

Let's give our whole-hearted support to the organization; let's be loyal to the school. Purchase tickets im¬mediately from club members. Don't forget! The time: January 25 at nine o'clock.

Which one of Henrietta's dates for the Accolade is going to take his car? Did you know that Grant Robison had to have the date committee function before he got a date to the Accolade? Why is John Volker so dissatisfied with just one girl in Salt Lake? Why are the senior girls losing their grip? We hear that Frank Fuller likes ice water baths just before going up to Mary's. How come Earl Rowse can break three dates to the Accolade and we haven't one? — Two homely lonely waiting boys.—Filbert and Wilbert. RADIO PROGRAM Thursday evening at eight o'clock over KLO the weekly Tiger Flashes radio program will be presented again to the public. Students, come down to the station en masse. Cheer the participants, for they like en¬couragement. This feature over the air promises to be worth while for not only stu¬dents but also patrons and teachers. Listen in all of you, this Thursday evening; you will undoubtedly enjoy Tiger Flashes. Only the best of talent used. YEARBOOK PICTURES Again we remind students that in¬dividual pictures for the yearbook must be in by February 1. After that date no pictures will be accepted. After February 1, all club pages will cost $12, instead of $10. Pictures are to be taken to Miss Osmond.— Hurry! READING—GOOD AND BAD Because of the great amount of reading material thrust at us from all sides—books, magazines, news-papers in endless profusion—we have become a nation of "mere skimmers Of the printed page." In our more serious moments of reading (when and if there are any), if we find a long or dull-looking paragraph, we skip it, and go on to more interest¬ing parts of the story or article. We finish one story in a hurry in order to begin another, in order to feast on more books, more books, more, more, more. How many of us read anything in the papers except the sports pages, the continued story, or the fashion notes? Susie drops onto the daven¬port, snatches the paper, turns straight to the inner part and de¬vours the current love tale. Bill is interested only in the sports pages, while another girl glances only at the fashion notes. Ruskin says that he who reads 10 pages of a good book carefully—that is to say, word for word—is in some measure forever an educated man. So, why not get "educated" by reading a good book carefully once, not because you enjoy it, but be¬cause you receive benefits by doing so?—W. B.
