CROWDS COLLECT. The crowds that collect around the office door are not seeking ad¬mittance or anything like that, they're merely fighting for a chance to look at the pictures of the opera cast in the trophy cage. Eight snappy pictures are reposing against the cups in the case, and even our new basketball trophy is camouflaged by a group picture of the actor-singers. And the "Little Cider Jug" is partly obscured by a picture of Don Corey enticing Eleanor Stevens while her sisters look on with envy. If we can judge by appearance, our opera is going to be a hit. BAND AT FIESTA. The Ogden High school cadet 1 band was one of the feature at¬tractions of the Oriental Fiesta parade Monday afternoon. More high class advertising for the city high. EVEN BREAK. Our debating teams broke even in last Friday's debates. The state questions, "Resolved, that Modern Advertising Be Condemned," was upheld by our affirmative team against Weber High, while our negative arguers lost to Box Elder. Another pair journeyed to Davis to practice in a no-decision debate on the same resolution. HAM AND At our next meeting there will be a white elephant trade.

M. THANKS, GENTLEMEN. We sincerely thank the super¬intendent of schools and the board of education for the fine new flag pole that rises 67 feet high in the northeast corner of our school plot. The pole is imbedded in eight feet of solid cement and is guaranteed to stand throughout the ages. It is perhaps the largest and finest flag pole in Ogden. We thank also the Utah Power & Light company which generous¬ly afforded a big truck, pole, pul¬leys and all equipment for raising the pole and six husky men to do the work. This was absolutely gratis—a fine piece of public serv¬ice—we call it. SIXTY TEARS OF PROGRESS. In his address on Friday after¬noon last Dr. Baird gave us some very interesting facts about the progress of the negroes during the past 60 years. He said that the great middle class of negroes do much of the manual work, of ou country in the raising of cotton and tobacco of the south and in the manufac¬turing industries of the north. That this class of negroes today own one million farms. 45 great business enterprises, 600,000 city homes, 1 billion dollars worth of property, and that amsng them are four and one-half million active Christians. That in the higher class of negroes the leading class, there are 48 banks owned and operated wholly by negroes, 500 newspapers, magazines owned and published, 500 colleges and normal schools operated by and for negroes, 100 hospitals supported, maintained and cared for by more than 4000 educated and well-trained physicians and surgeons. He pointed out also that during the world war more than 400,000 negroes were enlisted in their country's cause. Dr. Baird declared also that sev¬eral geniuses of highest order had already appeared in the negro race. He cited among others such men as Booker Washington, the states¬man and educator; Tanner, the sculptor, painter and hero of Franec; Burleigh, the great mu¬sician and composer and Paul Laurence Dunbar the poet. The negroes, he declared, had made wonderful progress since their liberation—a greater ad-vancement than has ever been made by any race or people in the same length of time. The talk was very much appreciated by the stu¬dents, who were given a new atti¬tude and a more tolerant, sympa-thetic understanding of the negro race. APRIL 18, 1929 COUNCIL Council was. called to order by President Corry, and the minutes were read and approved. A report concerning the expense incurred by, the club questionnaire was read and approved.

A motion to have the nominating convention at 3:15 on Wednesday was passed, and a committee was appointed to aid President Corry in counting the ballots—Mr. Sampson, Mr. Jack¬son and Miss Morrell. Council then adjourned. JEANETTE MORRELL, Secretary. NOMINATIONS Nominations for future student body officers were held last night and many worthy candidates were 'chosen.

At a special meeting Beecher McConnel was admitted to membership. In addition, out of tho warmnessr of our hearts we solicit contributions with which to buy Congress liles. |
