Editorial LET'S REFORM OUR DEGENERATES Six weeks remain in the school year. How much have we really accomplished in keeping our new building clean and unmarred? True, there has been little damage done to the building itself, but what have our habits done to the school? Whet I am really trying to get at is this: Why don't the students use the waste baskets for waste, why don't some of the degenerate, unthinking pupils of Ogden High show a little pride in their school, at least, after all the preaching and teaching they have received from members of the faculty? There are some very fine individuals going to this school; they are here for a purpose ana they mean to protect their purpose. But there are always a few evil, purposeless, fault finding persons who des¬troy certain parts of the building and take pride at bragging over the clever way in which they set a wastebasket on fire, how they got away with expensive mirrors, and how they threw orange peelings, apple cores arid papers into the drinking fountains. They are the persons I am dedicating this (if I may call it that) article. How many of us ere guilty of carelessly throwing waste material into the fountains? A large majority, I dare say. And of that large majority, how many really think or care about what they do? I would like to harp away at the fellows who go around the bush to have their daily smoking parties; but some of them have been the object of reform so much that they have inferiority complexes. At any rate the same principle applies to this disgraceful act of throwing trash into fountains. We have criticized the individuals who have en insane desire to break things up, waste other people's tax mon'ey by splitting desks and endangering other students and by setting fires to lavatory equipment, but when one really figures it all out, isn't it just as sensible to say that these one-sided, careless souls who like to stick gum to the fountains for other students and outside people to drink from, are doing just as great an act of disgrece as the fire-bugs? With all the writing which has been done, demoralising these unthinkable people, they still go on. Naturally it is kept quiet but it still exists. Whet can the students with the right attitude about school do? Suggestions have been made that a vigilantes committee be organized. That would only scare the quilty party so that he would commit his sin in the dark instead of out in the open. No, I suppose that we must go on seeing the damage done to the school until a regu¬lar police patrol will take charge of our school. Not a very pleasant thought is it? It is up to the students themselves to protect their interests, the school. If we have to become stool-pigeons, tattle- tales, or squealors, let us do it. let's get rid of the bad influences of Ogden High! Some may say it is rather late in the year; yes, it is, but there will always be this kind of humans unless the majority rebel. Let's feel it our duty to be more careful ebout throwing unsanitary objects into our drinking fountains and above all LET'S GET RID OF UNDESIRABLES. George Jensen.
