Show PICTURE SHOW MONEY. Have you ever had to ask mother for some money because j there is an exceptionally good j picture show in town, and because your weekly allowance has, un- beknown to you, escaped from your pocket? Well, the' sensations are not of the pleasantest. Mother unconsciously makes the ordeal harder by remarking that it will be a nice afternoon for us to go calling. You take the plunge by saying, "Mother?" "Well?" Your heart has dropped Into your shoe, and you wssh that a trap door would open suddenly beneath you; but never having any such luck, you have to go on. "C-c-can I go to a show?" "You went to one last week, and I wanted you to go calling with me." "I-I-know, but this show is educational." "Well, you can go, then." "B-b-but I haven't any money." Your heart again returns to your shoe. "Here's the money, but don't j ask for any more this wek." You give a sigh of relief. When going to the picture show you remember that mother has to do j her calling alone, and conse- i quently you do 'not i-njoy the show, but when you return home you find that mother had a i better time than if you had gone j with her. -Elizabeth Stanford. 2-11-25 Ogden High School Notes Students are given term reports today. They should be signed by . parents and returned tomorrow to advisory teachers. f i e Assembly will be held at the fifth period on Friday. Chester Hyland will speak on "Vocational Guidance."

The decision of the, committee not to sell tickets at 1 the door, we believe, is a very j j good one. AT BOULDER The boys will reach Boulder j) . this afternoon. Tonight the I ! , coaches meet in convention to dis- j cuss athletic problems. The first j . games will be played tomorrow j afternoon. It is not known at : this writing what team Ogden will I meet. Arrangements have been I made by The Standard-Examiner j , whereby the returns will be wired j . to its office. Bulletins will be j ! posted. j CLASSICALIA COMMITTEE j Miss Evelyn Dobbs was Tuesday j j evening appointed purchasing ' agent, to sign all requisitions. Jake Reynolds was appointed to act as , assistant. The big objective of the committee is a sale of tickets before the Classicalia to avoid the attendance of undesirables. A rul- j ing was passed that no tickets would be sold at the door. All money for tickets voted must be checked in the office before the count which closes Wednesday. March 11, at 4 p. m. An absolute check will be made and no ticket counted that has not been paid for. The announcement of the queen will not be made before the night of the Classicalia. The girls' work tea party to make favors and decorations will be held in gym on Friday, from 3 to 6 o'clock. The Women's Faculty club is in charge of arrangements. Every girl is urged to save this time for service. A good time is guaranteed. NO ONE KNOWS The balloting for queen closes today at 4 o'clock. A great many votes, of course, were cast Tuesday and today, but no one knows who is' elected. The ballot box . is securely closed and will not be jl opened for a few nays and then by the ticket committee. The ballots are all numbered and written so that a canvass of returns can be made and verified at any time. OUTSTANDING DATES Within the memory' of our parents most of the great modern inventions have had their rise. Iere is an interesting series of dates and events: 1876-Bell patents the telephone. 1880-Commercial use of dynamo. 3885-Pasteur inoculation to prevent hydrophobia. Development of automobile. Rontgen X-rays. ; 1898-Discovery of radium. 1917-Twelve-cylinder Liberty motor. NO FAVORITES "Teachers's pet" from time immemorial has attached itself to some body or the several bodies in every class room. We pity the one who either earns that title or has it thrust upon him. He is handicapped. Any student who expects or asks for special favors muse either be denied or else be placed in jeopardy. If there is any one thing that , all Americans, both old and young, j believe in, it is equal rights, op- portunities, privileges for all; no special concessions t o any. It is because of this American Ism that we especially desire in the high school that no pupil or teacher put themselves in the position of seeming to receive special concessions or favors. GOOD ROADS ESSAY "Economics Resulting From Highway Improvement" is the title of the Firestone Scholarship Good Roads essay this year. The i contest is open to all high school j students; it is to consist of not ! more than 700 words and is to be j submitted before May 1. The prize is to be a full four-year scholarship in any college or university in America. Further particulars regarding this contest may be had from a poster on the bulletin or from any of the English teachers. A bunch of loyal high school rooters was at the Union station last night to give the boys a good "send off" on their Colorado ; trip. PHONE 695 j Spring was in the air, and spring was also in the heart of j Walter Mack, as he strolled into the office of the cab company and casually glanced at the bulle- j tin board. Contrary to our conception of a taxi driver, Walter was as blithe as any human, and with just cause. He had I made a well-paid run, been genie: ously "tipped," and now hoped ! j for more of fortune's smiles. There 11 on the bulletin board was the j message: "Walt, call Lotta Graves at 695." With great an- i ticioation he called his number j I and waited anxiously until he i heard the unexpected answer, "Mountain View Cemetery." -Ivan Jones. ' NOON ! Noon-a time in which one is i free-free to express and give ! . vent to certain "things" which one cannot do in the class room. ! To all appearances., this is the j attitude that several, may I say all of the students, take. For the last three weeks the main hall of our beloved school has been one "grand" uproar-weeks in which ! the stronger sex are continually harassing the weaker sex. Screams j 1-piercing, maidenly screams! A I rush and scramble toward the cries. Oh! The villains are still pursuing one of the helpless fair sex. for what purpose? Why, to place her on the fountain- but see! Someone interferes. A teacher! Another intrusion-the bell! A mad rush to lockers! An- ' other mad rush to the next class. Then comes a reign of quiet-of peace-of empty halls.-Vilate Stevens. The queen is elected, but no ;. one knows her name. The sup- , position is that it is one of two j girls who were leading at the last , announcement. A goodly number i' o'f votes came after Monday, but no one knows who has the i majority. The ballots are securely ' locked in the box and there is no hurry about opening the box. Enthusiasms, prejudices, ill-wi' etc.j engendered during the in of the campaign are things c the past and whoever has ,th i.cU'gyal votes cast Jj. comes at once the unanimou choice of all-the Queen of th Classicalia. COURAGE WITHOUT WISDOM. It was' reported' that two en- J thusiastic high school iads got j I in a "bug" at 9 o'clock on Tuesday night and started for Boulder. 1i We certainly hoped this was not , true as such a trip at this time of year is not without serious : risks and from every nngle is ill-advised. Later a report reached us that the Doys changed their minds on the Divide arid came back. "HAM AND" NOTES. A committee representing the club waited on the board of education in its meeting Friday and j i was successful in getting an ap- i j propriation for the purpose of i. purchasing receiving equipments for the high school. When we j j have spent the money appropri- j ated the high school may boast of a very modern and powerful receiving set. It is the intention of the club to build an eight-tube super-heterodyne. The regular weekly meeting today will be devoted to the .entertainment of the fathers of the members. A special program is being prepared, along with the .regular business of the evenMig. It is the intention of the boys to ' honor dad about once a month ; with a "Fathers' and Sons' " eve- ' ning. FIRST AID. Tire high school is fortunate in having amongst both teachers and pupils people who are efficient in rendering first aid. We might sajL also, with the pranks that are "-pulled" daily that we i are fortunate in not b.etng obliged I to take advantage moe frequently of their services. The skill of :j George Bergstrom came in very 1 handy Wednesday. The old game of snowballing was being practiced on a couple of students riding about the .building in a ; bug with rather unfortunate results. The windshield of the car i gave way under the assault with the usual consequencest, lacerated .scalps and faces of the occupants. Mr. Bergstrom immediately patched them up as best, he could and sent them to the doctor. I Word comes this morning that l the wounds will heal soon and the boys will return to school. ' ONE NEVER KNOWS. One never knows what he j thinks until he tries to tell it I orally or in writing. After we i'have heard or have, read what Iwe have said I am. sure we are frequently surprised at ourselves for having thought such things. Teachers have thought cf this - 'requently of late, when reading .hemes assigned for tardiness or misconduct or irregularity of one sort or another. Such assignments a,s "The Value of Punctuality," "Punctuality As An Element of Character." What character Is," "What I'm Going to Do in Life," "My Ideals," "My Ambitions," etc., etc. These bring some very surprising and most interesting statements. MAKING COSTUMES. The domestic art department is very busy this week in making costumes for the queen and her attendants. This serves o keep down the expense and gives the girls a fine opportunity to do good work. A NEAT PAPER, Central Junior is doing a rather novel and interesting thing in the publishing of a 16-page 8x10 paper mimeographed copies. The paper is very well gotten up, .contains some most intersecting matter, and deserves hearty support and commendation. The paper is entitled "Blue and Gold," is edited by Dorothy Wheelwright, is managed by Emerson Thatcher and is sponsored by faculty members. The English department finds opportunity to function through a school paper, whfch is p, wonderful incentive to effort and work. The school paper should receive a deal of attention in English classes. It serves as a text that is near the pupils' mental level I and should be extremely helpful ART EXHIBIT. The attention of students is ! I called to the art exhibit sponsored j by the Child Culture club at i Weber gymnasium this week. ! i Every student should take ad- ! j vantage of this opportunity of becoming acquainted with the Utah artists. SHORTHAND. One of the major constituents of modern American business is speed. Speed in production; speed in transportation; speed in the I office. To attain this enigma of _ present-day requirements the J scientist is constantly delving into the depths of the unknown; con- j stantly discovering and building j upon fanciful ideas to create en- f gines of greater power; efficiency, and speed, for the endless race ; against time. I Now as a large part of the. business of the world is done in r the' office, and a large share of j the business in the office is done by the stenographer, and a. large . share of the stenographer's work e is done in writing, and as shorthand is the modern version of ' speed in writing; we are going to , tell you a word or two about our high school ' shorthand department. _ 5 Up to date this department has hummed along as smooth and calm as a, voyage on a fumraer c sea. There are a few rust spots in the engine, due to pupils who have allowed themselves to lag c behind the class, but tne engineer is slowly seeking them out apd fit applying the polish. In shorthand X the way is smooth as long as persiargill ...I.t-pj-o-yfrd. but when, a pupil X once falls behind there is mighty a rough weather ahead. Just as shorthand is speed to the stenographer, so efficiency is i speed to shorthand. It is most j highly important that the student j i ot shorthand put forth, tireless' effort to make notes that can be read in a day, a week, a month, f or 'even a year after they have c been written, either by the writer or anyone else. Thus the unwrit- j ten slogan of our class must be: Speed plus efficiency equal sue- " cess. To attain these vital factors constant . effort and tireless practice are necessary. The shdrthand department does not wish to brag about what they are accomplishing, or what they cap do. The pupils will demonstrate these facts when they get out into the business wor'xi. But we do wish to say that we have an able skipper and a fighting crew, so Ijope to complete a. successful voyage and land in the port of Business at the end of our journey. We wish to tell you also that according to substantial evidence, there is no better way tor tne young man or young voman desiring to wedge their way into the business world than th ough the channels of stenographic work. -Nolan Taylor. MR. CENTURY HANDBOOK. Dear fellow students, it you have not already made his acquaintance, meet Mr. Century Handbook. About three or four months ago, I was first introduced to him. But life was full of what I Jermed "more pleasant |
