Show HOUSE BILL ADVENTURES One March day, a newborn bill was placed in the "hopper" on the speaker's desk. The little bill , thought to himself that at last he was going to see the world and he was right, for he had a long journey ahead of him. The parliamentary clerk at the speaker's table numbered the bill , and referred it to the committee on ways and means. The little bill was certainly proud when they recorded his very own name in the journal of the house and the Congressional Record for the day. Now the members would certainly look at him. Most of the ways and means committee were his friends because they had helped him come into the world, as he was to provide revenue. They naturally approved of him and they sent him back to the house with a recommendation that he be passed. Once more his name was written down, but this time on the calendar of the committee on the whole house on the state of union, and now they announced his name to the house. As the little bill waited while the house resolved itself into the com-mittee of the whole and studied him section by section, he thought that life was really a lot of fun, especially when people paid so much attention to him. Finally the com¬mittee of the whole made some amendments to him, and he went back to the house where he was really and truly passed. Early the next day he set out for the senate where he told them that his friends in the house had passed him. From there they sent him to the finance committee. After a lot of tiresome public hearings, the little bill was amended by the committee and sent back to the sen¬ate. Months passed while the senate debated over him in the committee of the whole and finally he was passed again. Hie little bill had had so many changes made in him that he didn't know whether his friends would know him. However, a committee from each house came to see him and finally decided that he really was the same bill, and they ap¬proved him. The presiding officers if the senate and the house put heir names on him, but when the president signed his name, the little bill's joy was complete. Now he was no longer a little bill. He was a full-fledged public law.—Maxine Hansen.

A PRAYER Make my soul like roses in moon- light, Pearled and scented with dew; Let each petal be perfect, in bloom, Reflecting an image of you. A THOUGHT Be glad, be joyous, be gay; There's light, there's sunshine, there's day. Be thankful for happiness, too— Then the world will mean more to you. 9. AUCTION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY S.O.S. CLUB Classicalia Booth Rights Will Be Sold To High¬est Bidders OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The shipmates of S. O.

Recognize the opportunity, consider the publicity and prestige, and above all, come to assembly prepared to buy a booth, even if it becomes necessary to mortgage your charter. The Classicalia this year will be a monstrous street dance, carnival and Mardi Gras, all combined. There will be picturesque booths all over the hall, selling balloons, soda water, candy, ice cream and cake, peanuts, popcicles and polar pies, and lastly a mystic magical for¬tune teller. Each and every one of these booths is a veritable gold mine. A prize will be given to the club which has the most attrac¬tive and colorful booth. So come one, come all, to assembly and buy a booth. The Classicalia will be the biggest dance of the year.—Ad¬miral Doone. DAY DREAMING Of all the vices that students practice during school hours, day dreaming is by far the most wide¬ly used. As an addict to this habit, I can say in all truthfulness and justice to everyone involved that it is horribly and shamefully abus¬ed. The students of- today have no conception of the true art that has gradually slipped into oblivion through misuse. During class time the hypocriti¬cal student of the present does not relax in his seat, but rather bal¬ances himself on the edge, and, tak¬ing a dejected attitude, begins to mull over in his disturbed brain the problems of school life. He soon works himself into such a state of overwrought emotion that Old Man Conscience gains the upper hand, and what happens? Anxiety gives way to ambition and he ac¬tually tricks himself into working. On the other hand, in the days of true art, this rarely occurred, as set rules were followed. Immediately upon entering a room in the old days the student walked with lagging steps up to his desk, whereupon he gave vent to a pro¬digious yawn and settled comfort¬ably back. If there was a window present he gazed out into the clouds and cleared his brain of any un¬desirable school troubles by reflec¬tions on events. Anything from balmy Egyptian nights to wild life in the Aleutian islands passed through his susceptible brain until the period rapidly dwindled away. This process was repeated until the allotted time for school had miraciously passed and the satisfied stu¬dent hurried out to freedom. This little description just goes to show how much true art has de¬preciated in the past few years and the drastic changes that are brought about, due to carelessness.—Ralph Halverson. FOR QUEEN We have an ideal girl in Ogden High school for our queen. She is the kind of girl that always is thinking of her friends and her school first, not herself. She has been outstanding in school activi¬ties without monopolizing them. She possesses poise, dignity and the art of making friends and keeping them. In no way is she a snob. Her un¬deniable charm has made her a favorite with both the male and female sex. For all these reasons and many others not mentioned we firmly believe that Jane Davis should be the queen to reign at the Classicalia of Ogden High school March 29. Ogden High would be proud to point her out as "our queen." Jane for queen!—Aces. THE FIRST OGDEN (Installment 2) While the main group we men¬tioned in the first article had gath¬ered, there were still some who were making their lonesome way through woods and hills on which danger abounded. Finally an Indian rode into camp, who reported that one band of trap¬pers was out of ammunition and in danger of being attacked. Some¬one had to take them ammunition; and for this task, Sublett and sev¬eral others volunteered. They met the party near what is now Brig¬ham City and, after distributing the ammunition, they started with |
