Show MAKE AN OPENING IN THE LINE j I st When a ball is on the five- j, e( yard line, with one down left to put it over, the team on the of- , fense strives to make openings d for its men who carry the ball. tl The center snaps back. Mus- ci cles stiffen. A halfback rushes, ; finds an opening-touchdown! j-: But the point is the opening is j made before it is found. The Uig tackle or guard who opens the I line for the back to crash for a score demonstrates the value-of j co-operative effort. Opening the line for the man carrying the ball has won more j games than the spectacular one- j man end runs whichstory writers love to tell abput. GIRLS' MEETING Notes on meeting of the Girls' j association, Tuesday, November 4: ! The program for the first meeting of the Girls' association of the pear 1924-25 began with a , selection by the Girls' chorus. j This was followed by a report of j, the committee for revision of the constitution. The constitution as it was read was unanimously ap- proved and accepted. New business consisted of the : ' appointment of the chairmen for ' the entertainment and activities committees. Miss Ruth Skeen , and Miss Marjorie Allen were ap- j pointed for these positions by President Emma Beuhler. A report of the secretary-treasurer . showed that the association was not in debt, and had 15 donated by art enthusiasts to them for the continuance of the art, collection. Mrs. Coolidge explained the buying of these pictures to the girls. The president then outlined the year's activities to the girls. This included a mothers' tea, girls' party, leap year party, and monthly meetings. These meetings the girls unanimously voted to have. They will be held at the Central junior auditorium one morning every month at 8:30 o'clock. First period classes will be excused for these meetings, it was said. Women of ability will give lectures at these meetings. Nominations were then made for girls to try out for class reporter for the Classicum and quarterly. Miss Stone was chosen to assist Mrs. Coolidge as an ad- , visor for the girls. 'The meeting was then dismissed after the vice president, - Lucy King, and Marjorie Allen gave pep talks to the girls. COUNCIL REPORT J November 4 The meeting was called to order by the president and the roll was called. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Mr. Reynolds, chairman of the social committee, reported that the social calendar for the year j has been completed, subject to arrangements with Mr. Goss. The question of appropriate clothes for the yellmasters at the games was brought up. The committee consisting of Verlin Carroll and Laurence Van Dyke will make recommendations for these clothes, and will also aid the yellmasters in obtaining new and i original yells for the school. William Taylor requested that he be dropped from the finance committee, and Laurence Van Dyke was elected in his place. The motion was made and carried that a committee be appointed to aid the athletic manager in the distribution and checking of the tickets for the games. The council appointed Jake Reynolds, Gerrard Sampson. Howard Pingree .and Clarence Clark, on this committee. Meeting adjourned by motion. COLLIER'S SCHOOL PROGRAM f 2.-Unit Organization. The business of the school board is to elect the best possible j superintendent and put him in entire charge of the school organization. He should be given time and opportunity to try out his methods and ideas, and toe solely responsible to the community, through the board, for the running of the school system. If he can't "deliver the goods," the board can put him out. Wherever the board is organized with various standing committees, or takes over the active management of the system through having different departments report ing to it directly, amateurs are j in charge of the schools. In- j stead of a single competent, train- i ; ed, experienced, professional head, r dabblers in education take over the reins. Inevitable loss in efficiency and enthusiasm results. - -; ! Teachers are now working on_ the theory that for students to" be prompt, punctual, dependable, j i is quite as important as anything else in school life. Some classes have remarkably good records in attendance. A class in U. S. history, for Instance, of 36 pupils had only 13 absences recorded against it in October. This is equivalent to one .nd 8-10 per cent. Weber college is complimenting the seniors and teachers today! with tickets to the football game on Saturday. THE CLASS OF 1921. The question concerning the number of high sohoci students, who go on to college is being discussed in school circles these days, so a few moments were taken this morning in making a preliminary check on the class of 1924. Of this class of 247 it appears that nearly 80, or approximately one-third are In college. Of these Weber has 45 or better than half, University of Utah 15, Utah Agricultural college 4, outside of state 14. The list is approximately accurate but we should appreciate any corrections or addition that should be made. The report follows: Beloit college, Michigan-Robert Nye. Notre Dame-John (O'Neill, Charles Murphy. Northwestern, Chicago - Jean Chez, Douglas Pincock. Stanford, California - Virginia Greene. University of Colorado-Katheryn Cahill. University of California-Ben Wright, Jean Ranzu, Fern Lipscomb. University of Oregon-Kenneth Davidson. University of Pennsylvania- Fred Gentsch. University of Washington-William Petty.

Final arrangements have been completed for the O. H. S.-Granite game on Tuesday, Armistice day at Lorin Farr park, 3 p. m- PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR GIRLS. "Fall In!" I paused and listened. The sound was that of many feet scampering and hurrying over the floor. Then all was quiet. My curiosity was greatly aroused and I took a peep inside. Two parallel lines of girls standing erect and at attention ! met my eyes. Evidently it was a gymnasium class of some kind, yet it appeared to be remarkably different from any "gym" class I had previously observed. After having closely focused my attention upon the girls, I became aware that the difference was due to the .unusual change in their costumes. Instead of dark i warm looking uniforms these girls were prettily attired in neat, clean, comfortable suits made from at- I tractive, colored gingham. I could I readily see that tne girls were , aware of their attractive appearance by the expressions of personal pride which seemed to dominate their whole beinfes. Their clean bodies, erect foi.ns and brignt sparkling eyes, made them indeed lovely to behold. On a desK near by I noticed a number of tablets labeled, "Phy- I sicai Education." I picked one of them up and began turning over the pages. The title, ' My Aim in Physical Education," attracted my attention and I proceeded to read: "Perfect health in mind and in body is my aim." Good posture means good health and good health, in turn, means happiness and a contented mind. If one has good health she is bound to be able to cope with things and master the difficult tasks in life. Nothing is to'o hard to accomplish if one experiences the joyful feeling of well being, a feeling which she may possess if sh observes the rules of good health. Some of thee rules are: A glass of water first thing in the morning, at least four glasses during the day. Get up in time for breakfast, for regular meals are woiili more than a whole day of bites. Drink as much milk as possible but no tea or coffee. Eat some leafy vegetables and fruit each day. Spend one or two hours during the day in the open. ; 6. Bathe or shower with a good rub down once each day. Briish your teeth three times a day. A clean tooth never decays. Good posture makes fcr good appearance. Get the feerng- in your mind. When you tire, retire. Let it be no later than 10:30 p. m. Sleep long hours with win- ,1 dows open. Physical education is not a . ! one-sided subject. It jcaehes us mental alertness and clean mind- edneas as well as physical perfection and cleanliness. Our physical education creed will prove the truthfulness of this statement. I will learn to appreciate the , best in all that it true and beau- - tiful. I will strive each day to be healthy in mind and body. I will uphold the standards , of loyalty, honor, service, culture and scholarship. I will give the best of my energy, ability and support to our high school and department. I will try to show sincere j friendliness to all. I will be genuine and not a- j fected. I will be courteous, thoughtful and respectful. I will be open-minded and sincere. I will strive to be womanly always. As I finished residing this impressive desire of a girl to make the mf)st of the opportunity given her to learn more of goua health, a grateful feeling arco in my heart because I felt that che girls of Ogden High school truly appreciate and realize the importance of the privilege g ven them to acquire health along with their intellectual training. If the department aids only a few to find true happiness we have good reason to rejoice. COLLIERS' SCHOOL PROGRAM III. A SOUND BUDGET. It is just as important for a school system to live within its income as it is for an individual. Exceeding the budget leads inevitably to carelessness, unsound investment and waste. How much intelligent, conservative business methods and investment mean to a school system can be judged whn one realizes that the support of the community, which alone makes good schools possible, is dependent on expenditure that gives full values for every dollar. More money for schools is a good investment in citizenship. A sound budget wi.l not reduce, but eventually increase, wise school investment. But careless- expenditures bring about lowered appropriations. One Connecticut city has just had its 1924-25 appropriation for a necessary department of school work cut in half. There had been inefficiency in that deparfment. The 1922-23 expenditure exceeded the budget; there had been a certain amount of waste, and the public, through the board, had lost coxifidence in it. A school system should spend what it has efficiently. Then, if that is not enough, it can point to results obtained and ask for more. ' ' ! Despite snow and slush and mud , and all, O. H. S. seconds and Da- j j vis seconds played their scheduled ! j game at Lorin Farr park Thurs- j day afternoon. We need not add ! j that there were ao spectators or, j rooters. The result of the game is j given as 30 to 0, favor of Ogden. The O. H. S.-Granite game sched- i uled for Armistice day is not a league game, but as it concerns two j of the strongest high school teams ; of the state, it promises to be a i thriller. j One of the interesting features of j j the Chemistry club is that each stu- dent will be given a new name- J the name of one of the elements in j Nature, and will be asked to tell all , about the element that he re pre- sents. "X" CLUB MEETS. "And lo and behold it came to pass on the sixth night of November, 1924, that the liveliest students in the school met and organized a club for the purpose of promoting interest in chemistry and ! loyalty to the O. H. S " The meeting was called to order! at 7:30 o'clock by Instructor E. S. j Smith, who discussed the purpose' i of the club and the meeting. He i 1 called for the nomination of a tem- I porary chairman. Harry Thohip- son was elected. j The following officers were then nominated and elected: President,! Harry Thompson; vice president, Bill Gunnell; secretary, Ruth Loch-j head; treasurer, Marian Ure; re- ; porter for year book, Helen Mer- j rill; reporter for annual, Geard I Sampson; faculty advisor, E. j Smith. Executive committee: j. Louise Richardson, . chairman; j Stanley Hall, Gene Tracy, Warren Cross, Olive Reno Ids. Club members discussed the idea of a name for the club. A prize is offered to any chemistry student of the Ogden high school who submits the best name. This name must be peppy and full of ..meaning. Meeting adjourned at "9 p. m. The X club plans to give some of the liveliest parties of the season under the direction of the Grand Molecule, the Atoms and j Electrons promise success. Watch, ! look, listen; you will hear and see 1 more of us in tlie future. RUTH LOCHHEAD, Secretary. i Isif- JMSESiiiiaBKir'. 1 MHMbv' |
