Beeson, Mrs. Gertrude Coolidge and Miss Evelyn Dobbs are patrons of the party. High school teachers are guests of Mr. Casady of the Alhambra, theatre tonight to hear Charles Wakefield Cadman and Princess Isianina, in what he designates "the rarest musical treat ever brought to Ogden." The teachers very much appreciate this courtesy. This morning the sponsor girls appeared in full uniform and were presented to the battalion.

Probably none of us can hope to get all of these things, but all of us can at least get some of them. Why not assure ourselves of getting at least these few essentials as a foundation upon which we can build a successful life. , A clean healthy body in which to house the mind and spirit. An open mind that grows with the years. A spirit which is ever youthful and hopeful. A work to do which one en- ! joys and in which one has faith, i A religion and a God. An everlasting and abiding love for someone. A few real friends-the more the better. Membership in an organization apart from one's profession. An alert active mind--not a movie mind which cannot feel or think or act unless an idea is expressed in less than 10 words and illustrated by 57 scenes. A growing soul fed upon books, friends, work, religion, nature, dogs and children. STUDENTS PREPARE GRIDIRON SPEECHES As a means of arousing the interest of professional ai.u business men of the city, students of' the Ogden High school will appear on programs at all of the Ogden luncheon clubs next week, speak- 5 ing in behalf of the big football game between West High and Ogden, October 23. Tallmadge Boyd, president of the student body, will have charge of this work. HOPKINS BOOMED FOR STATE HONORS Principals of the Ogden City school system at a meeting Thursday decided to support the candidacy of W. Karl Hopkins, city school superintendent, for the office of superintendent of the Utah Education association. As Mr. Hopkins is widely known in the state and is likewise pcpular, the principals declared it will be an easy matter to have him crowned president for the year 1924-25. 711 on Oct 20 24 Ogden High School notes Forty-seven to seven isn't a bad score, yet some people complain j that Ogden didn't get more and ; they even begrudge Murray her i paltry seven. On the other hand there are some even at the high school who are rather glad that Murray final- ly scored. It made the team so much happier and surely everybody is entitled to a little consolation. j When it is conisdered that this is Murray's first year in league ball-that there are only 225 students in the school, and that the maximum number of boys who are ! playing football is 15 surely the i team members deserve credit for ! the showing they made and are j entitled to a-lot of credit for lip- ping the ball over so cleverly it; the very end of the game. It is reported that tne same play was tried in the L. D. S.-Murray j game and just failed by the mis'- ; chance of the ball hitting the goal j post. A very fair crowd witnessed the i game; Ogden is developing a real! enthusiasm for football and unless J we miss our guess tne grandstand j will be packed on Thursday next i to witness one of the biggest, if hot I the biggest high school game ever j played in Ogden. Everyone con- I i cedes that the teams are evenly j matched and that the contest will! j be intense and interesting. Instructor Keith Wahlquist's j : talk at Friday's assembly was very j much appreciated. It was logical I and compelling, replete with HlUs- , tration, and made a deep impression on. the students. Everyone ; must "carry on"-"must carry the ball" and such talks as that" help students better to accomplish the task. The short talks also of regional Scout Director Vaughan McCoy and Supt. W. K. Hopkins were likewise pointed and effective. Such as- i semblies as that of Friday are of j immeasurable value. SWEEPING CRITICISMS. Teachers, parents and students should be interested in this criticism of public education offered by Glenn Frank, editor of Century Magazine: in education we still maintain a subtle and sinister hiatus between learning and life." Mr. Frank offers the above criticism along with some other criticisms about life in general that are worth considering. He says: In politics we shout taded war ' cries that bear no relation to living issues. In religion keep on fighting dead devils and ignoring the new j sins that are cropping up ail about j us. In our earnest and honest efforts to be public spirited we fritter away on all sorts of uplift movements creature energies that would bring far greater benefit to society if wre turned their full force into tne better perxormance of the i jobs out of which we are getting j our bread and butter.. He sums all up Dy saying; "The j human race seems to have a posi- tive genius for missing the point," barking at abandoned holes. Mr. Frank illustrates his criticisms by a story of Henry Ward Beecher's dog that one day chased a woodchuck into a hole in the fence and ever after as he passed that way never failed to bark at the hole. Nor Have we the right, says he, to laugh at the dog for "he was indulging in a very human habit. Half the history of man- j kind is a record of how men have wasted their lives barking at abandoned holes." teachers have choice. Teachers have asked Supt. W. K. Hopkins whether it would be safe to attend the. state teachers' convention on account of the typhoid . in Salt Lake. He replied: "Certainly, if you . do not drinfc; the water." "But how get along without it?" he was asked. 1 "Well," said he, "the camel can . get along without water for nine days, surely school teachers ought to get along for three days. If you cannot do that, you can take along some 'Becco' or you can come home at night to drink of Ogden's pure waters." an unique party. The senior girls' party to the senior boys in the K. of P. hall on Friday evening was one of the most unique and successful class parties ever given by the high school. None but seniors were admitted and yet the hall was filled. No details of arrangement were omitted; the plans called for a good time for everyone present from 8 to 12 o'clock and seeming- j ly everyone had it. The party opened with a get- acquainted dance, all the girls forming a circle in the center of the hall and the boys a circle on j the outside. At a given signal each boy selected as partner the girl nearest him. After a short interval, the process was repeated so that in a short time each had mat several classmates and the "acquainted feeling" was engendered. Lemon dances, Leap Year dances, Paul Revere's, etc., followed in succession and the big object of the party "getting acquainted with classnjates" was accomplished thus early in the year. Interesting novelties such as artistic dancing by Miss Alice Tanner, vaudeville stunts by Critchlow children, appearance of Alexander's rival; Miss Marian Madsen, with her crystal and train bearer; ! Katherine Beck, in some feats of magic, conferring of medals for heroism on Stanley Hall, Jake Reynolds, by Tallmadge Boyd, interspersed between the dances contributed much to the entertain- '= ment. In addition to these, there " was an abundance of refreshments -punch, wafers, ice cream, sherbet, candies, licorice, etc., to rejoice the inner self. For the delight" of the soul there was the beautiful Hallowe'en deco- ' rations in orange and black, in- eluding the crepe, and the lanterns and the cat and everything. The musio, too, was splendid. The girls .certainly did the thing exceedingly well and are entitled to much praise. Back of all was the class advisor, Miss Dobbs, who helped en- , gineer and who received a hearty vote of thanks from the entire class. those in charge. The committees in charge were: Hall, Ruth Skeen, Violet Dout, Frieda Kraines, Mary Constance Alexander; "decoration, Kathryn Wallace, Venetta Iee; reception, Frieda Kraines and the sponsors; refreshments, Virginia Malan, May Hanks, LaVon Ries, Marjorie Allen, the sponsors; entertainment and program, Emily Lynch, Margaret Bell, Kathryn Prout, Edna Stephens, Marian Horton, Marjorie Allen, Helen Merrill.

Keeler of West High, in a communication to Joe Goss of the Berthana, accepted the invitation to have his football players guests at the dance following the game.

They will have hundreds of rooters here to assist in downing Ogden. On the other hand, pep rallies 1 which are to be held at Ogden High should get the largest crowd in the history of the school out for the game.

"The game Thursday will mark resumption of athletic relations between our school and West High," said President Boyd.
