proved themselves equal to the junor men who are grown up; oh, yes! It must be admitted it is a pre-mature condition. If people think that they cannot play second fiddle to the superiors why do the senior boys think they can .make the wonderful girls of the upper class corne to terms with second fiddlers? All senior boys (except John C.) think too much of their dear selves —to our notion. Are they profit¬ing by this? We say no! Respectfully, "The Guilty Juniors." P. S. Dear, lovely, lady please print this pronto. DOMESTIC ART EXHIBIT Colorful and dainty were the many and perfectly stitched Christ¬mas gifts displayed by the girls of the domestic art department. The tireless efforts and commendable efficiency of Miss Corless, the instructress, were evident, for there was discrimination in taste, precis¬ion of workmanship, and beauty. Greater appreciation should be shown such useful accomplish¬ments. DECEMBER 21, "Knowledge is happiness, be¬cause to have knowledge—broad, deep knowledge—is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low."—From Mrs. Newcomb's hoard. ORATORIO PLEASES It takes art to change an inex¬perienced junior girl into a per¬fectly adorable Patsy. It takes art to transform a youth of about seventeen summers into a most acceptable father; a lovable high school senior into an hysteri¬cal but ambitious mother; and a girl, generally loved because of even temper and sweet disposition, into a supercilious egotistical Grace. Art made a large audience for¬get the rich and beautiful furnish¬ings of the Egyptian and carried them into the humble home of the Herringtons. All honor to the abil¬ity of Miss Irvine. It was art again, which on Wed¬nesday evening carried a small but appreciative audience within the wall of "The Holy City"—the art of Gaul, the composer, combined with the art of Ralph Peterson, the director. This was a rather ambitious un¬dertaking for a high school in so short a time yet the small audienee gave evidence of high appre¬ciation of the efforts of the music department; and it takes art to impress an audience, even though it be, in the main, sympathetic. It is putting it mildly to say that those who did not avail them¬selves of a trip to "The Holy City" at the nominal price of twenty-five cents missed a genuine treat. The solo work of Keith Corry, Helen Miller, Royal Harrop, Walton Foulger, Gladys Anderson and Austin Malan was done with a sin¬cerity of soul which made it out¬standing. Beautiful and impres¬sive were the duets, trios and quar¬tets. The director, however, rises to his heights or falls in the choral Work and it was this part of the presentation that was especially impressive, not alone because of power, beauty and precision but doubly so because of the apparent earnestness and sincerity of each individual member of the chorus and orchestra. The writer has nev¬er seen a group so apparently con¬cerned with the task in hand, so intent upon the work to be done, so visibly impressed by the beauty and artistry of the work attempted. This earnestness reflected itself in every part of the evening's enter¬tainment from solo work to chorus and the audience was likewise im¬pressed. And if you don't think it takes art to impress high school studehts in that way just try it yourself with about one hundred of them. We say "hats off" to Ralph Pe¬terson, the excellent accompanists, Francis Foster and Liddy Teuscher and the music department in gen¬eral. The beautiful presentation of "The Holy City" makes us look forward with delight to future of¬ferings of the music department, especially do we look forward to the opera. Yes, it is certainly all right to speak of "The Patsy" and "The Holy City" in the same breath. They were both artistic perform¬ances, deserving of the highest praise. At least the arts are not being neglected in our school. May not we of the sciences hope that in some small way our efforts are contributing to these suc-cesses. A TEACHER. NOTE OF THANKS The Girls' association wishes to thank the many departments and generous patrons who aided in making the mothers' tea successful. Many departments of the high school who lent their support, in-cluding the domestic science de¬partment which served the tea; the domestic art, woodwork and art departments for their exhibits; the physical education for dance num¬bers, the music department for the music number; the multigraph de¬partments for the invitations, and the dramatic arts class for the one- act play. Let us mention, too, the hard and constant work of the janitora in helping make the school attractive. ROY CANARIES The boys' glee club appeared for the first time in their new sweat¬ers, Wednesday, at the oratorio. They have very snappy black and white button sweaters, with a can¬ary perched on a block "O" on the left pocket. DANCE TONIGHT Tonight at 9 begins the annual holly hop, sponsored by the senior class. Beyond all doubt it will be one of the loveliest social af¬fairs of the year. It will also be sort of a homecoming for the alum¬ni, so let's show them that we are entertainers supreme and make them feel right at home. TARE WELL Fate has so arranged it that (there will be a brief pause in the steady, constant, everyday routine of the students and teachers at Ogden high and for about ten days the old building will be as lonely and lifeless as a cemetery. It will be another annual parting of the way, biit next year, January 3, again the twain shall meet, and teachers and students alike will be fully aware of the fact that Janu¬ary, February, March, April and May are the months of give and take. So in the meantime, let's wish each other a most merry Christmas and happy New Year. PLEASE RETURN Student Body President Keith Corry is very much at loss since some unthoughtful person put the gypsy touch on the school's gavels. Both gavels have disappeared from the student body room. If some¬one thinks they are playing a joke, they're mistaken for as yet no one has discovered the least bit of hu¬mor in the trick. Will the per¬son who knows anything of the matter please be considerate enough to let Keith know it, too? The true spirit of Yuletide seems to be prevailing over the entire Ogden high school at the present time, as demonstrated by our well- filled Christmas boxes. Each room besides the Home Economics club, Carpe Diem and the I-Wannan-O clubs, is preparing a box, brim¬ming with Christmas dainties. There are twenty-four boxes com¬plete and we are almost positive that a truck will be needed to haul the food. We surely congratulate the Home Economics and Carpe Diem girls and the boys of I-Wannan-O on their fine display of Christmas cheer. This, in preference to the usual holiday parties, brings out the true motive of Christmas—to give, rather than to receive. PHI LAMBDA TAU You can't grow old too young To suit this hum-drum world; But if we had our way, on Christmas day, We'd stretch it out a year. We'd give you A's and B's ga¬lore Or what would suit your fancy, You could have in greatest store Now really It's too bad, for, We cannot be your Santa Claua 'Cause he's your ma and pa; But we do wish you merry Christmas From your friends, Phi Lamb¬da Tau. Dramatic art students, under the capable supervision of Miss Irvine, r are busy working on plays to be presented in the next series of one- act productiona "Coral Beads," a story of an unfaithful husband and a broken strand of bright red corals, has been cast as a possible presentation. "Thursday Eve¬ning," picturing the troubles of the young Mr. and Mrs. Johns, is spicy and snappy. "A Rich Young Lady" is a clever play with a steamship setting. "Solemn Pride," a drama, is the story of the civil war, a story of a southern plantation owner and his rascally slave, "Jijh" is inter¬esting and unusual. These plays promise variety for the next series. Leon Willie was graduated from the U. A. C. in 1916 with a B. S. degree. After graduating he work¬ed for the government one year and was in the army and navy for another year. Mr. Willie then taught in New Zealand for two years, after which he came to Og¬den seven years ago. Last year he enabled Ogden high to further improve its faculty by becoming a member. Mr. Willie teaches natural science and has some wonderful classes. The News wishes to commend the boys on the gentlemanly man¬ner with which they traded ties Wednesday. There were several casualties, but most of the injured are expected to recover if no com-plications set in. From the ap¬pearance of the halls after school, one would imagine that a good many ties were in pieces. The tie trade was a wonderful success and more. WEST HIGH CHALLENGES The following letter has arrived from the West High in Salt Lake, addressed to the debate coach of Ogden High school: "Would you meet our debate team sometime after the middle of January, using any one of the following propositions? 1—That the U. S. senate should ratify the Kellogg peace pact. —That the Utah legislature should pass a law similar to the New York Baumes law. 3—That Utah practice of elect¬ing judges should be condemned. It was signed by Phylic Durham, secretary of West High Debate club. Miss Irvine has accepted the challenge and in her reply favors the first topic. AUNT JANE After reading the query of the senior boys on December 19, we junior girls feel that we have been cruelly treated. Pride goeth before a fall, and, oh, what a fall! We poor little ju¬nior girls have been lifted up in the pride of our hearts because of the kind attentions of some of the senior boys. We thought we were putting something over on our su¬perior senior sisters, and now what a let-down to find we were only shown those attentions because the senior girls would not go with them. Oh! Our vanity Is gone, our ego punctured. Well, anyway, "there's no use crying over spilled milk—there's enough water in it already." Thanks for your kind attention and sympathy, Aunt Jane. Eleanor, Charlene, Maxine, Ber¬nice, Marge, Beth. Dear Ladies: Do be careful. If pride comes before a fall you may be the ones to fall. Aunt Jane. Dear Aunt Jane: Recently I remember having read about the "eternal triangle." What is meant by that expression? Does it by any chance refer to Jim Noblitt, Charles Michaels, and Warren Wattis? Yours truly, Just Me. Dear Just Me: » It seems as though you have been slightly misinformed. The three whom you have mentioned do not form the eternal triangle. They are merely the "Three Guardsmen." Aunt Jane. Note—If the senior boys wish to continue their debate wtih Ihe se¬nior girls, junior girls and junior boys after the holidays, I will be more than glad to extend them the use of my column. Aunt Jane. Weber Gym Will Be Scene Of Battles Facts of tonight's games are: Place—Weber gymnasium. Time—7:15 o'clock sharp. Teams—Ogden High school vs. L. D. S. North Dakota University vs. Brigham Young University. Prices—50c and 75c. School children in balcony, 25c. Malcolm Watson and Sid Spencer are officials. Sponsored by Chamber of Commerce. RESTED from their travel by Tuesday's layover, the North Dakota Flickertails were in splen¬did shape this morning for their game at the Weber gymnasium to¬night aginst the Brigham Young university. Coach Clem Letich will start his team of big boys, he reports, with Victor Brown and Al Letich at for-wards, Lewy Lee, center, and Har¬old Eberly and Captin Paul Boyd at guards. This is the formation that has given him the best results through his 6000-mile jaunt and the one that he expects to knock the Mor¬mons over with tonight. Coach Ott Romney has been drilling his team hard at the Provo institution and reports are to the effect that the men are in splendid early season form. The starting- lineup will proba¬bly consist of Brimley and Dixon, forwards; Ingersoll, center, and Cooper and Magleby at guards. CENTER BATTLE One of the features of the game will be the battle between the two centers. Ingersoll, Provo center, has been a member of the team for the past two years and is considered one of the strongest centers in the conference. He plays an exceptionally fine floor game and is one of the most consistent scorers on the team. In-gersoll is about the only member of the team that will be able to mea¬sure up to the Nodaks when it comes to height. Lee, center for North Dakota, has been hailed throughout the tour as a center of unusual ability and the court game as played by these two pivot men should be one of the main features of the game. The high school game scheduled to precede the college scramble, will start at 7:15 sharp. Coach Dixon Kapple will probably start Greaves and Harbertson at for¬wards, Slim Hales at center and Doxey and Chambers at guards. Coach Joseph West of L. D. S. will not announce his starting line¬up until time for the game, but it is expected that Saunders, West and Brooks will be among the first five men when the whistle Is blown. The officiating will be handled by Malcolm Watson and Sid Spen¬cer, who have been working the courts for a number of years and are considered among the leading officials of the state.
