You are the owner and if you mar your book it is your own look out, but oh, how it hurts to discover that after lending a book that there is. say, a spot of mud on it. The person who was the cause of the blemishment might say, "sorry, old chap, but really it was an acci¬dent." Does that help the matter any? Your book is marred; nothing can ever make that coveted pride you may have in it be the same. You are discouraged after having all your carefulness in its handling for naught, and you form the opin¬ion that all book borrowers are the same, thus casting a reflection up¬on the character of others. A safe policy is do not lend your books if you care to possess a pride for them. This is the girl, the only girl, we want for queen: Loveliness, allure, vivacity, intelligence, niceness, charm, radiance, adaptability, grace, understanding, neatness—The Spec¬tator. WE PRAY We pray for a continuation of this delightfully cool weather. It is so much pleasanter for school and more conducive to hard work than the mild temperature we have en¬joyed (?) so much during the past two winters. WE ASK THIS We respectfully ask that students arise to the occasion and help the editors out a bit in furnishing the students and public, all readers of our column, some news items con¬cerning happenings about. Certain¬ly things are happening here and there that the public should know about. BOTANY MADNESS What madness was the old fossil babbling incoherently about now? How in heaven's name could turtles, fish, mayflys and plant life in an aquarium concern botany? I had swallowed a lot of unreasonable facts during the time I had | spent in botany, but if the instructor could bring any semblance of a connection between a slimy old clam and a few nestages of runty, under¬sized plants, I would bucule down and diligently work myself to a fraz¬zle getting my future assignments. As the professor warmed up to his subjects, I began to have doubts as to the sanity of my nit-wit ted vow given in a moment of weakness. Right before my eyes he was turn¬ing an unreasonable illusion into an iron-clad certainty. Weaving facts and theories in an authoritative manner, a clear cut decisive scientific achievement was crammed into my mind. Relating how the plant receives carbon dioxide from the animals to carry on photo-synthesis, and how the animals used the oxide given off by the plants, a very definite connection was established that proved without a doubt the frailety of my wanton suggestions. As I realized the importance of the interdependence between fish and plants in stagnant receptacle, the teacher deigned to call an aquarium, I resolved to never ques¬tion the authenticity of his teach¬ings again.—Blaine Frost. CAMPFIRE FLAMES The flames leap high and far From our campfires; They soar to reach a star, But too soon tire. And life is just like that For man is weak; Though we be aiming at The highest peak, We often will forget our lofty goals And some day will regret We're only coals. —Elizabeth Parkinson. 16. GROUP BEGINS COMPILING OF O.H.S. HISTORY Narrative of Forty Years' Activities Will Be Written OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. For 40 years Ogden High has been making history. Unfortunately, no consecutive records, no annals, have been kept and consequently, we of 1935 know little of the past. A movement, is being started now by Mr. Thornley and some of his pupils to pick up the straggling ends of the past records and weave them to¬gether is some sort of a narrative of interest and worth. We wish them success in this laudable un¬dertaking. MEANING OF CLASSICUM According to an article in the February number of the Classicum, 1903, the first publication of the Ogden High school was known as "The Kicker." Luckily it was dis¬covered that an Arizona High school had a paper of the same title, so of course Ogden must change hers. Mr. Ben L. Rich (Roy) came across the word "classicum" in his study of Latin. Since "classicum" means bugle an instrument through which Caesar broadcast information to his army Rich thought this would be an appropriate title for a high school publication and upon his recommendation was adopted. OGDEN BOXERS SPARKLE In the recent A. A. U. boxing tournament in Salt Lake City, Og¬den High had a number of entries. Jack Doone, Sam De Corso, Merton Wright and a number of other fel¬lows from our school were among the foremost fighters. The Notes congratulates the Og¬den boxers for the success they at¬tained in the meet. Jack Doone and Sam De Corso are to be compli¬mented on their sparkling victories. Both fellows show promising talent in the fistic field. Jack won the state championship in his class (118 lbs.) and has re¬ceived considerable publicity on his achievement. Furthermore Jack has a feeling that he may get a trip to Boston out of it. Good luck to you, Jack. CLASSICALIA SOON Hear ye! Hear ye! Next Friday in the Berthana ballroom will be our Classicalia — the most festive, the most informal, the most enjoy¬able dance of the year. Come, all of you, and have the unforgettable time of your lives. Balloons, noise makers of every kind, candy, ice cream — all will be there to help create the spirit of festivity. Most important of all the queen of the Classicalia will reign supreme with her maid of honor and six at-tendants. Do you wonder who she will be? Then come to the Classi¬calia.
