San Diego. The officers of this class have many more entertaining programs planned for the near fu-ture. MORE HUMOR DESIRED Any school notes needs to be al¬ways spiced with excellent humor; such type of composition is the life of the material. We have such witty souls in school giving bits of real humor in their conversation to their associates that it is a pity such sayings can't be recorded. There are so many students who are clever in their own dialogues and remarks, and so few who will contribute their humorous ideas to the notes. Why waste your valuable words on a small audience who might be unappreciative anyway? Hand in your brilliant thoughts to be published for the delight of a much larger group. A GREAT HELP Our friend, Mr. Dictionary, is in¬deed a savior to struggling students when we sack our thoughts for ap-propriate synonyms, antonyms, and a knowledge of what apparently different words mean. We sit and ponder, and puzzle some more over what we will jot down on the sheet of paper in place of an expression which we have repeatedly used. Aha. A thought strikes us. We say, "why didn't I think of it be¬fore?" Hurriedly we fly to Mr. Dic¬tionary, glance at the alphabetic letters on his plump front, and delve into the contents. Immediately we have our choice of at least three terms. Then we are indeed happy. He is a friend to all, a friend to me, a friend in distress. Three cheers for Mr. Dictionary. MAJOR PROBLEMS Personality and ability are two great factors contributing to life's success or failure. With an ade¬quately adapted personality and an ability to do the job one may be reasonably sure of success in life. This thought is brought to our mind by criticisms made by Birl E. Shultz, dean of New York Stock Exchange institute. He says high school graduates of today fail be¬cause of (1) personality difficulties; (a) attitude toward their work; (b) attitude toward suggestions that they need to take further courses; (c) inability to get along with peo¬ple; (d) lack of courtesy; (e) colorless personalities and (2) lack of ability (a) to spell correctly, (b) to figure accurately; (c) to write legibly; (d) to speak or write gram¬matical English; (e) to think ac¬curately and rapidly. All students would do well to con¬sider these criticisms. 6.

SCOUTS HONORED Several fellows from Ogden High school have arisen to the highest goal possible in scouting, that of the eagle scout.

At the meeting, Bob Buswell, a promising dramatist of our school, presented a reading, "Mother." I-W-O SPORT REPORT On Wednesday in Ogden High's gym, I-W-O met the well-renowned Bulldogs in a basketball game. Both teams were in good condition. The game opened with a snap, and the first score was made by the Bulldogs. However, I-W-O, under the leadership of Bob Emmett, fin¬ished the quarter with a lead of 8 to 7. The seconds quarter ended with I-W-O leading, 16 to 11. The third quarter opened with a bang, and remarkable ability was dis-played by both teams. After fight¬ing hard for ten minutes the whis¬tle blew, closing the third quarter. During the fourth quarter the Bull¬dogs made a splendid rally under Captain Baker. The game ended with I-W-O leading, 47 to 24.—Re¬porter B. T. P. S.: You're all invited to come up and see the games.
