Show companions' and l tnrew him aside to enjoy myself. Six weeks ago, however, he was once more called to mind, and since that time, he and I have been ihe best of friends. Many times we have, arm in arm, wended our way through the halls q high school; many an hour he "has shown me the way to better mye.'f; and finally-we are inseparable. He shall always be my friend, because he has truly proved his worth. He has taught me why "Completeness of Thought'' and "Unity of Thought" are important in "Sentence Structure " Little things, little errors ,in grammar, he has taught'- me to eliminate. He is not a person who says "do not do this" without giving sufficient reason. He is one's friend as long as one cares to have him. He will not "throw one over" because a prettier face comes into view. Certainly, the nhcaae"he isn't good looking, but he's got good sense" may be applied to him. Dear fellow students, „if you have not already made Ins acquaintance, meet Mr. Century Handbook. -Dorothy Cragun. Ogden High School Notes Everybody happy? Well, I should say so! The first day's tournament was very satisfactory. East Denver 18, Ogden 24. That sounds good enough for us. If we win again today, we shall call a holiday tomorrow (Saturday). Let everybody celebrate by staying home all day Saturday and not coming'to school at all the entire day. STATE TOURNAMENT. Jhey tell us the state tournament is a big success. They have record crowds despitethe fact East and West students do not attend. That's fine and proper, just as it should , be. It's just like the L. D. S. conference. Thtf Salt Lake people , . stay at home, as the people from1 the outside more than fill the tabernacle. So here, if students from the outside can fill the Deseret gymnasium this week, the Salt Lake kids should stay at home to give them room. ROMEO AND JULIET. On Monday evening, March 16, the University players will broadcast "Romeo and Juliet" from station KDYL. All interested in drama should remember to tune in on Monday evening. ORATORY. At Central Junior on Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock, the Ogden High school students will set free several cases of bottled oratory. It is the annual S. A. R. contest and j there will be eight competitors for honors. All high school students should be there to support this form of student activity. Parents and friends are, also invited. SAD BUT TRUE. A number of seniors failed to have their pictures taken and consequently will not be featured in the year book. It appears likely also that a number of teachers will fail - to be properly advertised in this great book, as they, too, seem to be procrastinating. SENIORS' PEDIGREES. A feature of the year book that appeals to many is to have along with one's name a list of the activi- i ties that one has engaged in while i at high school. All seniors who have failed to hand in this pedigree should do so at once. A FINE BAND. The high school has a very fine military band of more than 30 pieces, of which we are very proud. The addition of the new instruments gives better balance and considerable more volume. We feel that its a rrfighty fine thing for any young man to be able to play an instrument, to work in harmony with others in such an organiza- Vtion. It is a big help, for any school. Any such player also is I a very useful member of any com- I munity in vrlugk he may reside. j OUR NEEDS. President Coolidge recently made some remarks that might very well be incorporated as a part of our educational program. Said he: "We do not need more natural development, we need more spiritual development; we do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power; we do not need more knowledge, we need more charactr; we do not need more government, we need more culture; we do not need more law, we need more religion; we do nt need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen." THE YEAR BOOK. The year book staff is very desirous that every one who is to contribute anything for the year book-a photograph, a picture, a story, a club or class report-anything whatsoever, that it should be handed in very soon. The book should be out about the 1st of May, and the printers require a month in which" to do the work. Figure out for yourself how much time you've got. NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST. Ogden, as a result of a preliminary shoot, has been selected as one "of the schools to .enter the national contest. The other schools selected are: Pasadena High, Reno High, the Harvard school (Los Angeles), West High, San Diego High, Fremont High (Oakland), Walla Walla High. OUR MARKSMEN. The following men promise well for good scores in the national contest and m contesting for the Hearst trophy: Lawrence Skeen, Stanley Hall, Morris Allen, George Clifton, Scott Kellogg, Kenneth Skeen, William Galbraith, Lewis Terry, Lewis Loughram, Dayrel Smith, Francis Hales, Albert Droesbeke, Dallas Hess, Herbert Verheek, Byron Crittenden. INDOOR SPORTS. A new sport has evolved within th high school during the past twenty-four hours-that of betting on the Queen. Some betting this one will not win by so many votes, others that that one will not, etc. We only arise to remark that this is poor business, very poor business. THE HAM AND CLUB. We're back again folks! Last evening we held our regular business meeting after which a special program was carried out for the fathers and sons as we had planned at a previous meeting. This is our first attempt at a social of any sort and it turned oA to be a great success. Among the parents present were: Supt. W. Karl Hopkins, who could remain only a short time because of bther business; C. W. Iverson, L. S. Scoville, W. Kellogg, Fred W. Carder and J. Craven. We extend a welcome to all of these and to the parents who were not present to come and visit us ,ny Thursday evening that it is convenient for them t.come. The program consisted of a reading by Sidney Badcon, who we wish to thank for his excellent part in the program; a talk on an "Amateur License Test," by Edgar Calder, and a talk from Mr. Smith, one of our advisors. Part of Mr. Smith's talk was in the form of a poem. Many things of interest were brought up in the business meeting, one of which was the building of a radio set to be installed in school. The money for this set was Rppropriated by the school fund, and construction of sania-ffiiU-begin as soon as the parts can be purchased. Keep your eyes on us for we'll soon be stepping lively. JACK CRAVEN, Secretary. TRAPPED. ! You see, it all happened when I 1 tried to get out. I had got in easy enough; oh, my, yes; too easy, in fact. I should have noticed something suspicious in that, but I didn't. I was too occupied. My thoughts were all centered on the big red grapes, which were to be mine. Swiftly I wound in and out among the maze. Like a miser, I clutched huge bunches of the grapes I had used every cunning to get. They were a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. But I must hurry! Quickly filling the basket I had found, I began cautiously to retrace my steps! After a few delays of nonimportance, I succeeded in reaching the gate by which I had entered. It was one of those devices which is opened by planting oneself firmly between two handles and pushing like a horse on an old fashioned thrashing machine. I placed myself in this position and proceeded to push. But, to my horror, the thing refused to move. What to do! There was not a moment to lose; already I had been detected, for suddenly behind me, j I heard an evil laugh. I pushed land pulled frantically. The gate j was as stubborn as the proverbial I mule! t Suddenly there was a great whirring in my head and an idea lit there. Without daring to glance around I quickly dropped, on all ! fours and scrambled under the obstacle of my exasperation, expecting each moment to be seized by rough hands. Gaining the outside and safety without capture, I ventured to glance around. A hulking brute in a white apron stood grinning at me. Drawing myself up to ! full height and straightening my somewhat disarranged headdress, I discharged a withering glance in hi? direction, and vowed then and I there never to invade the mysteries I or a Piggly-Wiggly store again.- I Margaret Stimson. 3-16-25 Ogden High School Notes They went; they saw; they con- ; j 'quered. Then they returned to us. jj We received them with glad hearts i and open arms. All honor to den's greatest basketball team-theij intermountain champions. Five games in three days is some program. Yet the boys won every game. We should remember forever these scores: Thursday-Ogden 28, East Denver 18. Friday-Ogden 24, South Denver 19. Friday-Ogden 27, East Denver 19. ' -a Saturday-Ogden 24, Pocatello 18. Saturday-Ogden 18, Boulder Preps 8. U. A. A. HOLDS FIRM. Utah Athletic association directors refuse to let the Dixie play- ers meet Ogden. They are at least J consistent in their policy of blacklisting and boycotting. It smacks f of inquisition days but, never mind, ' we'll grow up some day and the ; policy of living and letting live will be practiced everywhere. The world can't grow on hatred, nar- j rowness, ' selfishness. A NEW STORY. During a heated debate of U. A. A. A. directors the other day, a new story was given out by President James E. Moss and Arbitrator Willard Ashton, to the effect that East and West were dropped from the association because they wanted to c "drive the church school from the association (meaning L. D. S. U.) and failed." It seems strange that East and I West should play with .-j Saints , for 15 years and then decide to j drive them out. This'esccuse is not I imere subterfuge, only it is en- ' tircly false. East and West were dissatisfied i with the situation wherein J. E. Moss ran the affairs of L. D. S. U. : athletics and also state athletics, i-e is charged as president of the U. A. A. with having discriminated against East and West in favor . of his own school. This 'charge ; would in all probability have been , made just the sarqe had Mr. Moss j been fconnected with the Ogden High school or the Murray High ' school or any other school. Church f or religion have absolutely noth- ! ing to do with the situation and it's mighty poor taste on the part j of Mr. Moss and Mr. Ashton to inject this element into the controversy. CLASSY AGGREGATION. ; The above title was given to the ' Ogden hoopsters Sunday by the Denver Post. It said also, "Ogden was the class of the tournament, being the only team not to lose a game." It said of the last game,' "Ogden played great ball against . the Preps. . . . The defensive ptay of Ogden was too much for the locals, who were held to two measly baskets." GETS TITLE TROPHIES. Under the above caption we quote again from Sunday's Denver Post: "The silver basketball symbolic : of t;he championship was present- i ed to Ogden after the game and . sweaters will also go to members 3 of the team. 3 "The silver loving cup for high individual scorer will go to Captain Ellis Wade, Ogden forward. He s scored 67 points. "The largest crowd of the tour- nament-around 2,000-saw the 3 boys ffom Utah defeat the Boulder boys in decisive fashion and i march home across the mountains ! with the title." i GREAT RECEPTION. From practically no fame at all in basketball, Ogden High suddenly leaps to an intermountain championship, comprising five big states. It is an extraordinary event in Ogden's school history-one tnat calls for an extraordinary; celebration. 1 Students, faculty, superintendent, board of education and citizens therefore connived to "whoop 'er up" today in grand old style.

At dinner the chamber will c also have the board of education ( and other school officials, as well as tne following Salt Lake guests: Superintendent G. N. Child, Assistant Superintendent George A. 1 Eaton, Principal F. D. Keeler, , Coach Homer Christensen, Coach Lee Simmons, Mayor Neslen, rep- 1 resentatives of chamber of commerce and probably Governor Dern. FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY. Last Friday's assembly was marked by a masterful address by ! I a senior student, Chester Hyland. j The address was in ie nature of j ( ' a report of a western vocational i convention held recently at Boze-1 ' man, Mont., which Mr. Hyland and i three other high school boys at- j ( tended. Mr. Hyland not only reported j but he gave the gist of the re- j ( marks of many national speakers with the force and vim with which , the original addresses were given. Chester is to be congratulated on ; ! nis splendid effort. S. A. R.
