Stepped into a pair of shoes that would be plenty big for the average officer, but the colonel will fill them, students at the school haven’t decided. It doesn’t take young boys long to size up a man and when they vote 100 per cent for him then he must be all right. RESULTS EXPLAINED In speaking of R. O. T. C. training for boys, Colonel Cunningham "While of course R. O. T. C. work Is essentially military, it fits to become a good, honest, upright citizen more than any oth¬er branch of training. “It teaches loyalty to one’s school, it teaches team work, it teaches self-reliance, initiative, quick thinking, self-control and discipline. "It gives the boy, because of his self-control, the ability to concentrate on anything that he is do¬ing to the exclusion of all other interests.” "I find the corps here in splen¬did condition and can say that it is one of the finest that I have ever had anything to do with. “We seldom have any trouble with the boys. Occasionally we run across one hwo is a little hard to handle, but as a rule we find that they are willing to co-operate to the fullest extent. HAS TWO AIDES "Master Sergeant John W. May¬er and Sergeant Burton Halloway, who were here when I came, assure me that there is a wonderful spirit in the corps and that we have the best bunch of boys in the world.” Sunday, Oct. 14 High Ideals, Good Manners Have Important Places in Ogden City School Training Polishing "Rough Spots" Off Boys and Girls, Besides Instilling Regular Learning, Is Object of Faculty; Books On Etiquette in School Libraries Become Well Worn. That old saying, "Readin', writin’ and 'rithmatic," should be changed to "Readin’ writin' ‘rithmatic and character." Realizing that book learning is Hi all that a school should imBt to its students, Ogden teachers are beginning to look forward f the social world which will enKf the boys and girls upon graduation and what kind of an impresilon they will make. Therefore, the Ogden High school and the junior high schools of the city are beginning to y greater stress upon manners, in and out of school, conduct and theii Eared subjects. “Boys and girls in the last ten have changed to a remark¬able extent," Gertrude Coolidge Irwin, dean of girls at the high school, said," and I believe that it is primarily due to their environ¬ment. "Boys and girls who have been raised in educated families that have a kind regard for school teachers and realize that the child receives a considerable part of his training, as well as education, away from home, present far less of a problem than did their predecess¬ors. "It has been years since we had an organized 'drive' to 'sluf’ school. Teachers do not find their pupils putting them 'on trial' the first day, like they did. “It used to be that every new teacher was forced to undergo a barrage of tricks before she could handle the students. “It was the same with men teach-ers. They had their troubles with the boys and girls the same as we women. "It does not seem to me that we have the same situation facing us here that we had in 1919 when I first came to the high school. “Of course, I realize that maybe of the reasons for our difficul¬ties was that a number of the boys had enlisted in the army and had been away from school for a couple of years. Then they were also considerably advanced over the other students, due to their army training. "That may be the reason that I believe the boys and girls of today are better trained and better be-haved than those of ten years ago. "The Girls' association of the high school, realizing that it was necessary to turn their minds to something like that, decided to adopt a motto showing what a girl should be besides just a stu¬dent. "We are framing creeds now and will adopt the best one. The girls have decided that a good part of their training this year will be along those lines. BEST CONTACTS "While we have not a direct course of study in etiquet, we are making a determined effort to teach it to the girls. Our best points of contact are in the physical educa¬tion and home economic classes. "Grace Stone Blackham, our physical education instructor, teaches personal hygiene and cour¬tesy in two of her classes weekly and the girls are responding to it, very readily. "We are stressing courtesy in these periods. Good breeding is al¬ways told through courtesy, and if we can impress it and make it sec¬ond nature with our students, then we will have good manners and everything that goes with them. "Our home" economic courses carry a certain indispensible part of this work. Nellie Mealiff and Margaret Corliss, through the cooking and dressmaking classes, teach the young girls how to serve a meal, how to lay a table, how to receive guests and the functions of a per¬fect hostess. "The girl learns the proper way to dress and when to do it, how to look well on a limited income and howr to make a home cheerful and attractive. "The library, run by Lilas Ray¬mond, is helping in this matter by the loaning of books. We have such works as Emily Post's book on etiquet; "Everyday Manners," arranged by the faculty of the Southern Philadelphia High school for girls; Starrett's "Charm of Fine Manners"; "Manners and Conduct In and Out of School," by the fac¬ulty of the Oak Park High school, Chicago; "On Being a Girl," by Jessie Gibson, dean of girls at the Spokane High school; "The Busi¬ness of Being a Friend," Bertha Conde and Cades' "Any Girl Can Be Good Looking." "It is surprising the amount of wear these books are subjected to and the way that they are being studied. These books are also available in the junior high schools, where practically the same plans are being followed. "Our gymnasium and home eco¬nomic classes give us a better chance to wrork with the girls than the boys. With the exception of the R. O. T. C. and athletics, we do not have the contact with them. "However, the principles of the army as instilled in the boys, are doing wonders in preparing them for their civilian life. It is sur¬prising how much interest the boys begin to take in etiquet just before some of the most important of our school dances. "Before the Junior Prom last year, the books in the library on proper dance etiquet were certain¬ly at a premium. "But don't gather the impression that this effort to teach character as well as education in the schools is being done because the students need it very badly. It is done to help polish off what rough spots happen to remain. "Our students are ladies and gentlemen now."

DOWN DAVIS Tomorrow is the day of the big battle with the Davis High. The Tigers have won two and lost one and are still an important factor in the division flag race. Davis has a strong team this year and it will take a lot of fight to beat them. With the support of the student body, such as was supplied at the Preston game, we know the team will take care of the fighting end of it. Mr. Lammers has promised that one of the best high school I bands in America will also be out there furnishing music and their support, so altogether now, gang, "Let's Down Davis." Don't forget the snake dance tonight at 7:30 o'clock and the game tomor¬row at half-past three. Student body cards will let you in to check for the team. BAND GIRLS' UNIFORMS Girls, who are band members, plan to appear in uniform, pos¬sibly of tan or brown or khaki. Won't they look neat? "THE PATSY" "All the world's a stage—but most of us are only stage hands." At least that's what Eleanor says half a dozen times every rehearsal. The play is coming along wonder¬fully. Miss Irvine and her splen¬did cast are studying diligently, that the play may be the finest ever. ONE-ACT PLAYS We haven't heard much about our one-act plays lately'. However, if you open the door of room 305 some sixth period and peep in you'll see some cast industriously re¬hearsing. Then go to the cafe¬teria, where you'll see two more casts—No— you're wrong. They're not dining, they're practicing. Watch for the announcement of the date of presentation.

S. male quartet entertained at a "Merry-Go Round" vaudeville carnival last Thursday and Fri¬day in the Fifth, Ninth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Seventeenth and Eigh¬teenth wards. Boys' Glee club will sing at two of the local high schools in the near future. They also will sing in our own assembly next Friday. R. O. T. C. band under the cap¬able leadership of Hy Lammers, is developing rapidly and well. To prove their ability they will play- Friday at our assembly and on the field at the game, after school. COUNCIL REPORT President Corry called the regu¬lar council to order and the min¬utes were read and approved. Mr. Bramwell announced that the Halloween dance, held the week before had been a great suc¬cess. His report was accepted. Miss Wallace presented the names of 10 candidates for the of¬fices of associate editor of the An¬nual and the Quarterly for council's approval. The names were: Hu¬bert Orell, Henry Aiken, Horace Nebeker, Dee Bramwell, Enola Johnston, Janet Manning, Bernice Hall, Guenevere Hess and Lois Robinson. Horace Nebeker was elected to the office of associate editor of the Annual, and Guene¬vere Hess of the Quarterly. After some discussion it was de¬cided that the election of the edi¬tor of the O. H. S. Notes should be conducted in the same manner as it was last year. On motion of Mr. Wattis, council adjourned. —Jeannette Morrell, Secretary. INTERESTING VISITOR The school had a very interest¬ing visitor on Tuesday, Mr. Jimanes, from Mexico, who is a news¬paper writer oil the Mexican press. He is visiting schools throughout the United States with a view of enlightening his home people about the American schools. He seemed very much pleased with our school and said over and again, "This is what we need, must have, in Mexico." Mr. Jimanes at one time attend¬ed a high school in Los Angeles and is therefore familiar with our school system. Mr. Jimanes gave an interesting talk in Spanish on 'Mexico," to the second year Span¬ish class. AS GOES HIGH SCHOOL A straw vote was taken at the high school faculty meeting on Tuesday. In accordance with this vote Herbert Hoover is our next president, and Wm. H. King is our next senator. As goes the high school, so goes the state and na¬tion, so this bit of advance infor¬mation is given the public gratis. Stop worrying, it's all settled. PLENTY OF A-l GIRLS Teachers have recommended above 100 girls a,s befng eligible for sponsorships in the R. O. T. C. These are the most coveted posi¬tions for girls in the school, and naturally there is keen rivalry ev¬ery year for these honors. There are but 10 sponsors to be select¬ed. In general, however, R. O. T. C. officers are largely responsible for the selection of the sponsors, so the whole matter resolves itself into a situation wherein each girl "works" upon the officer of her choice for the coveted honor. WAS IT BLOCKED MARY: Bill made a forward pass this afternoon. RUTH: I told you that you'd have to watch those college boys, dearie.—Life.
