Show 1 can keep my shirt on. A letter from Alyson Smith to school this morning conveys the information that he is working on a paper in Los Angeles and Is enjoying it very much-even tho' they do insist on using him as errand boy now and then. He is delighted that Ogden walloped Logan, and said that he expected to celebrate in the good old- fashioned way on receipt of news that we had beaten West. Of course, he will not be obliged to celebrate. LOW RATE GRANTED. The Bamberger Electric promises to give us a special train and a dollar rate for the L. D. S. game this week. There is no doubt but that we shall take it as all of Ogden wishes to see this game- a game that means a very great deal to O. H. S. BONITA ScOWCROFT. The high school mourns today the loss of one of her brightest and most loved alumni Miss Bonita Scowcroft, '24, who succumbed Friday evening to the ravages I of typhoid. Bonita, had just begun her work at the University of Utah when stricken with the drrad disease. A feeling of sadness and depression pervades the school today as Bonita was well known and much loved by every teacher and every student of the school. Bonita was one of the R. O. T. C. sponsors of 1923-24, was student body secretary, member of j; the school dramatic club, Clas- sicalia committee, in fact, was an active member of all school activities, an earnest, enthusiastic outstanding student in all her classes. She devoted her talent ji and time to the building up of a fine spirit and morale in her school. Bonita was of fine personality, ! was always cheerful, optimistic, j unselfish, considerate, wholesome and helpful. No student of the high school was ever more respected and loved; her unexpected departure has cast a feeling of disappointment and sadness in the hearts of all. Bonita, as we knew her and loved her, is no more but the Influence of her beautiful life- ' her unselfish, whole-souled devotion to her friends and school will endure forever. O. H. S. MAY PLAY SAINTS SATURDAY The football contest scheduled for Friday at Salt Lake between Ogden and L. D. S. may be played Saturday, W. Karl Hopkins, superintendent of schools, iinounced today. "It is out of the question to declare a half holiday on Friday for the game," said Superintendent Hopkins, "in view of the holidays of last week and others that are to come. I believe, however, that the contest will be moved to Saturday, which would be better for all concerned." It will be the first time that Ogden and L. D. S. have ever met on the gridiron and considerable! Interest has been aroused. Oct 28 - 24 Ogden High School NOtes The gate receipts at last Sat- uififcy's game were a little above f biggest returns the high ever had from a fo6t- loney received from the nes in mighty handy right help meet the expense of equipment, as high school : must be self-supporting. Many youngsters and a good many grown-ups do not seem to know that it-costs a good deal to put on athletic games, and hence they persist in climbing over or through the fence and witnessing the games without paying. The school people are endeavoring to check this form or dishonesty by- offering complimentary tickets to eager youths who cannot afford the admission price. Mr. Gammell was highly complimented by the faculty Monday evening for his excellent work in furnishing a girls' chorus at the U. E. A. convention last FHday. The girls are also deserving of praise n5t only tor theft5 gfflfTBg, but also for their' school loyalty in paying their own transportation and expenses. IS IT WORTH WHILE? Some teachers were asking the question Monday whether a state teachers' convention is worth while. If so, the actual value of inspiration and instruction must come rather high. It costs 1 days of schooling for upwards of 9,000 j children. The actual cash value i of a day's schooling has been repeatedly given as 8 per pupil. It costs salary for 275 teachers, plus personal expenses of teachers. Then the convention costs- 1x8x9000-108,000 to students' iy2x6x 275-2475 20x275-5500 To board ofeducation for teach- i ers' salaries and to teachers for j personal expenses. Total 115,975 It surely comes high. Well moy I we ask-Is it worm while? floors of the domestic art I rooms received a coat of paint during last week-end's vacation j and presented a much improved! appearance at the opening of I school Monday. The Utah Power & Light company installed a new electric range Monday in the domestic science department, improving considerably the efficiency of that department. The attendance at school Monday was considerably below nor- nal. This is explained by (1) the lsual falling off following a va a- ion; (2) a temple excursion; (3) he funeral services of a loved uumna. An earnest effort has been made, during the past two weeks to give every senior student an oppbrtun- ity to get one riour's instruction at the public library on ."How to use the library." Miss Dora Smith, schdol librarian, has been giving the instruction. ON ARMISTICE DAY. The high school cadets have received an invitation to appear at memorial exercises to be given at the Gold Star driveway on Armistice day, November 11, at 1:30 p. m. A card from Mrs. Clara Whitaker, erstw'hile teacher of French, announces that she is enjoying her work in Denver, but has not forgotten "the dear O. H. S. youngsters, bless their hearts, I did love them," she says. Mrs. Newcomb is exhibiting a very beautiful Shakespearean Stratford-on-Avon booklet before her senior English classes this week. The pictures are all from original water color paintings by W. W. Quatrenvain, and give one, a very definite idea of Shakespeare's home and surroundings. THE FORUM. Because of the number of visitors and interested students present, the Monday evening meeting of the Forum was notable for showing the largest attendance on record for any regular session. The number of aspirants to the waiting list is constantly increasing. A spirited debate was held on the subject, resolved: That no sensational accounts crime or divorce should be published in the newspapers. The three participants, Ed Woods, John Cragun and Hal Armstrong, were admitted to the waiting list. SCHOOL LOYALTY. From a little booklet on the subject Minimum Essentials in Manners and (Conduct, written by Wm. E. McVey of Harvey, Illinois, we quote: The success of a high school depends in a large measure upon the loyalty and spirit of its student body. The writer refers to that type of loyalty which impels the student to keep continually in mind the honor and prestige of his high school and to guide his conduct accordingly. This type o loyalty will cause the student to stop and weigh his actions in the light of the influence they may possibly have on the standing of his high school in the community and the state. Nothing can stand in the way of a student body that determines to make its high school the first high school in the state. The student that wants his high school to be in the first rank will uphold his high school by word of mouth and by deed at all times. He will not permit to go unchallenged in his presence a slanderous remark concerning the character of his high, school; he will do the j right thing by his high school, I without being told, merely because j he wants to do the right thing by his school. He will not require ; constant watching on the part of his teacher.s; his conduct when out of sight of his teachers will vary little from his conduct in their presence; the welfare and the suc- , cess of the school will be his success. i The water buffalo in Java is j known as the slowest animal of all ; beasts .nf Oct 29 '24 Ogden High School Notes The O. H. S.-L. D. S. game will be playedon Cummings field (at University of Utah), Salt Lake, on Friday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock. A 1 rate is offered over the Bamberger line on the 1:30 o'clock car. In order that students may at? tend the game it has been decided to have no noon period on Friday; to have the fifth hour class from 12 to 12:45 p. m., at which time school will be closed for the day. This will give students ample time to get to the game. No one will be excused before that hour. The East and West wouldn't play the L. D. S. on account of the East-West semester rule which the L. D. S. wouldn't accept. Now the rule has Been adopted by the A. A. U. and East-West say they'll play the finals with L. D. S. But the L. D. S. say, "If we win we will not play with East or West. They must forfeit the game. It looks as if we shall have to beat the L. D. S. to settle the squabble. TEACHING AS A CAREER. One of the big opportunities of the high school teacher is to advise and educate his DUpils as to the advantages of teaching as a career. If he cannot play the living, enthusiastic example of one who went into the profession with eyes open and who is staying in it because of his love for it, and the fun he gets out of i,t, he should get out of it in a' hurry. The worst kind of a Judas is the teacher who, when the chance comes to be the missionary and preach the "biggest job," advises others to do anything but teach. "The school man should have the poise of an editor, the vision of a promoter, the aggressiveness of an advertising man, the accuracy of a scientis: and the suavity of a diplomat." "The worst kind of a knocker is the one who knocks from the inside." "As in a game of cards, so in the game of life, we mutt play what iz dealt tew Uo: a.nd the glory consists not so much in winning as in playing a poor hand well." -Josh Billings. strange ideas. Gems from examination papers extracted Tuesday: Typhoid fever-caused by overwork, not enough food and insan- j t ity in the home. Typhoid fever in the United States holds fourth place as a cause of morality. In taking care of a patient, care should be given to the spreading of germs. To be rid of typhoid we should effectively annihilate persons who are known as carriers. The high school orchestra or- , ganized a music club October 28, , 1924.

Students figure that by missing , the regular assembly this week and having the fifth pericd be- f fore closing school, that they shall really miss but one class for the game--and that they can easily afford to do this. COUNCIL REPORT. October 28, 1924.The meeting was called to order by the president and the roll was called. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The committee on student body membership reported that two R. O. T. C. officers have not yet purchased their student body tickets. These names will be reported to the office and further action against them will then be taken. The question of appropriations for staff photographers was brought up by Mr. Reynolds. This matter will be taken up by the finance committee. Tle student body constitution calls for a finance committe which shall consist of five members: The president, treasure.-, and secretary of the Student Body association and two other members of the council elected by the council. The council elected William Taylor, and Max Morrison as the i oth§r two members of the finance committee. The committee will prepare a budget for the ensuing school year. A committee consisting of Verlin Carroll and Laurence Van Dyke was appointed to co-operate with the yell masters in securing better yell practice, and in improving the yells.
