Of these 14,055 were college' graduates; 2,- 756 finished high school; 1,880 received a common school education. From these figures one concludes, that if he Wishes to get in "Who's Who," he should secure a college education. college humor. A local paper had this week a timely editorial on the subject or College Humor. It reinforced some observations of our own made recently on a college magazine. We threw it down with disgust and remarked: "Such a publicaeion has absolutely no excuse for being; j there isn't an inspirational or uplifting thing in it. It is either lewdly suggestive or coarse." The editorial says that 6 5 per cent of a recent college humor magazine, both text and humor, is devoted to sex or liquor. That good old-fashioned humor, wherein the ' skill and cleverness of the writer is displayed on all subjects, or no subject in particular is greatly- lacking. 1 The editorial asks if it can be 1 possible that 6 5 per cent of the) ! thought and talk of college stu-j dents is about sex or liquor. We ' do not think so. We do think that those who.are responsible are not considerate nor serious enough in their great undertaking. The publication of any magazine is a fear- 1 ful responsibility. Let those who I write beware! A CASE OF AFFECTION. Jt was bound to happen. The we&ther had conspired against me. j The sleet, the mud, the ice, my I ' feet, bad tried to do it hree times before; the fourth they succeeded. "All together," screamed the wind. The mud grappled with my heel, the sleet leaped at my face, the ice cluns to my sole, and the overjoyed mother earth rushed up to meet me. Well sir, she smacked me on th nose, she clasped me to her heart, she buried my face in a pool of heaven's tears, she beamed all ver with pleasure, and in the joy of the moment covered my face' with some of her very self. "For the love of mud!" Ij short-circuited to my brain. In an- j swer to this exclamation she gave j! me a mouthftsl and shoved me into the nearest snowbank.

If you can make public opinion right your schools will be right. Therefore let us all work together to make public opinion right. what is civilization? Nobody seems to know exactly what civilization is. To the enlightened man it means a condition of mutual confidence, esteem and encouragement, in the highest ideals. To the unbiased savage it looks like a collection of mixed - drinks and merry-go-round. Several years ago Harper's Weekly gave this answer: "How would it i do to say civilization is the process I of learning to use dangerous tools -libei'cy, luxury, wealth, educa-; tion, organization, are, music." Wei incline to the opinion that this is about as good a definition as has ever been given. This being true, parent, teacher, pastor, all persons concerned, should have this objective in education-learning to use properly the dangerous tools. goes to california.

One of those nights in which the world seems to be a mass of pitch black nothingness; no moon, no stars, nothing but a1 blackened universe. Silence reigns supreme throughout the lofty, mountains, save for the wailing of the wind and sighing of the pines. Back in a pine grove an old woodsman can be seen sitting beside his camp fire, which burns low as he muses. The old trapper's thoughts are centered on his almost inseparable companion, who has gone to the far-off trading post with his furs. His mind being far from his body, the mountaineer forgets his fire. While it burns lower, the wind slackens its pace, and the pines quiet down to rest. He hears faintly the sound of a train whistle. Tliis means his com- panion is traveling rapidly away and now he will be left alone for several weeks. The fire burns out, the wind ceases, midnight has come and the entire world seems at sleep. As the old trapper rises, a sigh escapes his lips. WESTON HYMANS. CLASSICALIA DANCE TO BE BRIGHT AFFAIR Symphony of Spring Feature of Costume Ball At Berthana j The 1925 Classicalia is to be & symphony of spring with the dramatic personae,. the queen of spring and her ten maids, who will place the wand of fun and laughter into the hands of the "He's and She's," the joy seekers of the Ogden High school. They will be garbed in varied springtime costumes, representing many lands and many ages. Promptly at 9 o'clock the overture, "The Queen's Springtime Procession," will be played. The keynote of joyful harmony will be struck by the queen of spring, as she sits in her garden surrounded by her maids. Then, as the motif of dance begins, the joy seekers may buy the keys to fun and laughter at the various booths that are representative of the high : school organizations. At one end of the garden, a huge basket of pastel green that hides the representatives of the Girls' association and Carpe Diem club, will attract all to come and to buy the many hued baskets of candied ambrosia. Across the garden, King Soda-tlie seniors in disguise-will await behind the bar to fill the seekers of fun with a nectar of happiness. Far too quickly, the Gamma Kappas call the funmakers to the Land of j Bubbles, where garlands, bouquets ! and 'never bursting' balloons will be sold as the symbols of joy. ! As fragrant odorous smells float j downward from the balcony, the juniors, as the sprites of Good Luck, will exchange one's silver- piece for a wierd three leaf clover. The happy seekers will then hurry upward where the oriental girls'of the R. O. T. C. booth wientice all to feed the inner sell'. r l'0vi''vcr not ail thef piM.sure lies" ; there. For soon the spirits of fun j and good humor guide the joy j seekers to the land of side shows j and interesting crazy houses. Here I the H. C. club and the student I council will provide thrills for I those most difficult to please. All too soon the strain of the second motif is heard. Again, the "Hes and Shes' of costume land heed the call of dancing romance The first notes of the melody are recognized as those of the "Sophomore Confetti Dance." Showering "Her" with glorious colored confetti, these seekers of joy whirl off to the symphony of springtime, romance, beauty; a motif of laughter, je st, fun. and sound- the Classicalia of 1925. The Classicalia, which will bgiven March 21 at the Berthana by the students of Ogden High school, is the social event in which students and all patrons of the high school play a 'very prominent part. This year the affair promises to be a very gala one under the leadership of Miss Evelyn Dobbs, general chairman, and Jake Reynolds, student chairman. Mon 323-25 Ogden High School Notes the classicalia. In 1915 the faculty of the high school, appreciating the necessity; of publishing a year book that; would creditibly reflect the school's activities, and realizing at the same time that the school did not have the necessary funds to publish such a book, hit upon the idea of an annual carnival with a queen, gala holiday attire or costumes, sideshows, candy, confetti, balloons, refreshments--every necessary appurtenance to a spring carnival festival. The idea worked and it has not been difficult since that j time to hold an annual Classicalia that is a financial success, j We say "not difficult" by which i we only mean that by much hard I work, planning, enthusiasm and! loyalty of the teachers and stu- j dent body-always being sure to ' make each event as,good or a lit- tie better than its predecessor-it has not been difficult to get the j crowd-and with it the enjoyment j and the money. It is now a fixed j habit for students, alumni and friends to look forward with fond j anticipation to this glorious event, j Along with the carnival spirit i and celebration there have come I some objectionable features which those having the event in charge have assiduously labored to eliminate. attendance limited. A hovel experiment was tried this year, that of selling all tickets in advance to such people only as would probably conduct themselves in a respectable manner. No tickets were sold at the door, and so we ha've barred objectionable characters who might conclude at a late hour that it would be a rood place ,-to celebrate or spend the evening. ! This may have deprived, us of some easy money-but with over 1700 tickets sold we were satisfied and did not care to take the risk. In consequence, also, those who came had a good time, not mhrred by "drunks," bootleggers or other objectionable features. The affair was an artistic and social success and passes into his-t tory with joyous memories for all who participated. The Classicalia is a great co-operative venture wherein teachers and students work unitedly, whole-heartedly, unselfishly. It gives clubs and organi-, zations opportunity to compete ifffriendly rivalry to see which can create the prettiest b?roth, put on tne best sideshow or stunt-turn into the school treasury the most money. It is most gratifying to watch the development of school spirit and loyalty in this grand undertaking. ' great achievement. We shall leave to others the description of the score and more of interesting features that characterized this latest festival; we shall j rise only to remark that it surpassed even our anticipations and must be heralded as another of oui great achievements. |
