Show Oct 30 (Th) 24 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES A number of parents ha.ve signified their intention of going to Salt Lake tomorrow 10 witness ! the game. That's the spirit! We like to have the parents with us in our games as well as our daily work. Students were enjoying a matinee dance this afternoon, given under the auspices of the sopho- more class. I At a junior class meeting Wed- j nesday the following were select- j ed to enter into a competition i for position of class editor: Ger- ; aid Walwerk, David Camp.. Chas. j Emmett, Blen Wilson. COINCIDENCE NOTED. In the presentation of "Little j: Lord Fauntleroy" tomorrow at Central Junior high it is interesting to note that this story is, one of the best of its kind that ; has ever been written;' that its j author, Frances Hodgson Burnett, j died Wednesday night; that Mrs. Burnett was the first author who ever received royalty for film presentation of an author's work. ! A number of years ago she j brought suit in England to main- j tain her rights and won. i- When C. J. M. arrived at E3hool on the opening day, he carried the following note to ti e teacher: "Dear Teacher: Our little Johnny is a very delicate, nervous child, and if he is naughty-and he is likely to be naughty at times-just punish the bey next to him, and that will frighten him so he'll be good." Census enumerators report that they find not a few parents who ; are willing to certify that their 'children are over 18 yaurs of age when they are not, thuo depriving the district of state moneys appropriated to children under 18. Others again hesitate about giving names and ages of children as they do not understand the purpose of the enumeration and fear there is some political or ulterior motive back of it. Students should ordinarily be through high school at the age of ; 18. There is no school money appropriated for children over 18, and consequently must bo educated at the expense of the children between 6 and 18, the. school age. There are 16 7 students in Ogden high school who ar"e ever 18 years of age. FOOTBALL LUCK The announcement that the East and West would not be in the finals of the U. A. A. contest aroused considerable interest at the high school today as it seems to leave Ogden High in the running. 1 - O. H. S. got her's from Brother Moss two years ago. Retribution came to his school for a flagrant violation of rules last spring. Now East and '.Vest get theirs on a technical ruling of the u. a: a.- Truly, Jimmie moves in a mys- terous way His blunders to perform. At Senior meeting Wednesday the following were elected to compete for position of Mass reporter on quarterly: Martha Wright, Eugene Tracy, Louise Richardson. On the year book: Gordon Agee, Sidney Norton and Thelma Jones. The seniors voted to accept- Link-Tiffany as official photographers for year book this year. The juniors will .-be asked to have pictures taken this year, and a small cut made for this year's j book, and the same photo may be used for the year book next year. recipe FOR MAKING A BOOK Kate Douglas Wiggin, a noted maker of books, gives this interesting recipe: 2 oz. of Talent. Common sens size of an egg. 1 oz. of knowledge of human nature. Put all into the mortar of experience and pound well with the pestle of discretion. Add 1 pint sentiment, 1 gill wit, and just a shake of sadness. Strain again six months later j and destroy sediment. Season. Garnish. Serve immediately. OTHER GAMES AHEAD. Coach Kapple i arranging at least one other big football game for Ogden. It will probably be with Box Elder or Granite. The team has received an invitation to play a game with Blackfoot at Blackfoot on Armistice day. If conditions permit the invitation will be accepted. After we have wiped L. D. S. off the slate we have one more league game, that with Davis high at Kaysville. WHY BOTHER ABOUT ART? Wednesday at Rotary club Mr. LeConte Stuart of the art department made these significant remarks: "Because a knowledge of art can give you more pleasure than almost anything else. It can give you a vista-and a vision. It reveals hidden beauty. It is like the window in- the worshop that lets in the sunshine and gives a beautiful outlook-it makes life worth while. It makes common things more valuable. A flower pot is worth a few cen'.s, a bowl of the same clay a few dollars- a vase exquisitely formed and finely glazed or decor atod sometimes hundreds of dollars. The difference between a Kitchen chair and a Chippendale chair is a matter not of materials but art. The cities of Europe are visited because they a :e beautiful-vorks of civio art. The artistic home is the one everyone would choo'se. The difference is a matter of choice-tasce. If you want to know how, you must know about art. Art is one of the few things in the world that is permanent-the art of Grcece is still the glory of that great na-i tion. So is the art of Italy, of France. And France, which is! I known as the most artistic of i ' nations, has lately proved herself; most valiant, most courageous,' most enduring. Art is a factor in the civilization for which the Great War. was fought and for which1 many gave their lives. It is for ail. It enriches life, both for the individual and for the .iat:oa," The assembly and one period are omitted today in order to give i students an opportunity to see j the deciding football game of the i division-the O. H. S.-L. D. S. i game to be played in Salt Lake j on Cummings field at 3:30 o'clock. 1 i jSa, A man is not without honor in his own country. 7Jfr"tL "iteivsville and many friends from Ogden and Salt Lake are attending a reception to Le Conte Stewart, given by Mrs. Emily Barnes, Miss Martha Barnes and Miss Mary Barnes at Kaysville this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock. Mr. Stewart's pictures will be on exhibition. The Ogden High school football team and Coach Kapple express their appreciation to the boys (and fathers) who kindly furnish cars for transportation to the out-of-town games. The boys furnishing cars toda5r are McLaren Child, Jay Glen, John Griffin, James Ure, Charley Emmett. PUTTING - THE BALL ACROSS. Football is a powerful example i of the necessity of co-operative effort to put the bail across the line. Every man Jack of us, whether we study books, write poems, sell hairpins or build bridges, is up against the job of doing just that-putting the bal across. A lady teacher being asked to-! day w hich was the best time of j her life, replied: "The ten years that I was eighteen." INTERESTING DEBATE The Pazlez club meeting this j week was enlivened by an inter- esting debate on the subject, "Re- j solved. That fire is more, destructive than water." The affirmative was championed by Delbert Young j and Joseph Gifcby; the negative by j Belva Fife and Elizabeth Hoiton. j The arguments on both sides j were amusing and clever. The de- i cision was given to the negative, j HUGE INTEREST IN DR AMA j Fully 12 5 students appeared in j Room 305 Thursday afternoon to ! signify their intention of contest- I . ihg for a part on the school play, i Miss Beck was much pleased ' with the enthusiasm manifested j and feels ' assured that she will, j have some splendid material in ; the cast that will be selected. The. first try-outs will be held ! on Saturday afternoon at 1 j o'clock. GOOD WORK IN CARPENTRY During the past two weeks the j i boys in the carpentry department I have ' completed ten big tables for j the domestic art departments of l the junior schools. It is - estimated that the boys I have saved the school board ap- proximately two hundred and j fifty dollars in the making of ! : these tables: "?feturallj- they 1 ! very proud of the job. r'!iSi The Rev. Hugh D. Brunk was j an interested visitor at school : Thursday, especially in the vo- , cational department. He is very , much in favor of practical work. i Mr. Brunk left an order for a ; study table to be constructed by j the boys in carpentry. Visitors in the carpentry de- partment are surprised at some j of the lathe turning work that is " being done. A parlor lamb stand recently turned by a student, Kenneth Brown, is deserving of special mention. j,r( ,, LOVING AND ENJOYING Dr. Wm. S. Sadler,4 writing in J October American, has some very j I good advice for students and , J teachers. He says: j i Discontent, nervous uncertainty j 1 and depression are disastrous to j : i health and efficiency. The fellow j' who likes his job can do a lot j more work without breaking down f than can the one who is grouchy and dissatisfied. When someone asked the late Theodore Roosevelt how he could I work so hard and be so well, he t replied, "Because I like my job." t "Then," says Sadler, "there is the need of play. Find something you enjoy. Get a fad of some sort. Whatever it is, if you love to do it, then it is play for you." . He says also: "Learn to enjoy t people, all kinds of people. Talk t with them, whether they belong c to your set or not. People are t mighty interesting-if you'll take fl the trouble to find it out. Come t down off your high horse. Join j in the chorus. Learn how to en- t joy folks, to be amuac.J, by them, to see life through their eyes. It's i gTCElt." As a panacea for all ills, he i recommends "love of work, love i of play, love of folks, love of home and love of God." BEAUTY IS KEY TO ALL GOOD ' By Maurice Maeterlinck !; Ugliness is the breeder of all evil. The more beautiful things g j we see, the more good deeds we i are apt to do. . i Who can measure the relation-K ship between a beautiful landscape V and our thoughts and actions IS :5 The connection between an act of ;; heroism and duty faithfully done land things of beauty seen lon before may be much more direc " than our memory would have uj a j believe. llBBf C e The best within us, all that is' j pure, all that is clear and limpid in our mental makeup springs, at , bottom, from the sight of something beautiful. If our life is to 4;e rich and noble we must have a generous background of admirable visions. If we had never seen anything beautiful. ; we would have only tawdry and cheap pictures with which to clothe our ideas and emotions, thus making them perish from cold and. misery. The great road which goes from the low plains of existence to l the summits of human conscious- j ness would, without beauty, be j I so dreary, SO H3.K ed and deserted ; that our thoughts would soon be unable to follow it; and where I thoughts no longer come, the j j weeds and 'horrors of barbarism i i soon Crop up. j As our thoughts and actions gather force and form in all that we have seen, let us not lose a particle of beauty, but enjoy to j the full the peace of a summer's morning and the'glory of a winter ! sunset. GRID TITLE ' WITHIN REACH Two Schools Barred and 0. H. S. Will Insist On Rights In view of the barring of East and West High schools from the championship football race in the Salt Lake division, Ogden High school officials will insist on being termed division champions in case they win their two remaining games from L. D. S. and Davis high schools. This statement was made today by W. Karl Hopkins, superintendent of schools. Action of the state executive committee of the Utah High School Athletic association in barring the East-West teams from the championship caused much discussion in Salt Lake today. It is probable that the decision will result in withdrawal of the two schools from the Salt Lake division and also the state organization. "In case our school is victorious over the Saints and later downs Davis, we will expect the state officials to declare Ogden the cham- pions," said Superintendent Hopkins today. "In view of the circumstances there may be steps aken to declare that the two teams ire tied for honors, should Ogden jvln her remaining games, which would result in the playing of another game between L. D. S. and Ogden. "We believe our boys will trim the Saints and are locking forward to a splendid contest. In case the state officials rule that we should play them twice in case we win Friday, we will expect them to allow us to play the contest here. "Telephonic communication with officials of the gtate organization today indicate that no further action will be taken until the Friday contest is played. An Ogden victory will cause more trouble while a defeat, of course, will insure the Saints of a title. "Our team, however, will enter the contest with plenty of fight and I am confident that they will return home victorious." fj THE GAME Ogden feels that there is some , "hoodoo" hovering near. It is i admitted by almost everyone that I Ogden has a better team than , either West or the Saints and yet we lost to both. |
