Wo cannot mention here all to whom praise is due, but all must wtute in giving Miss Dobbs of the faculty and Jake Reynolds of the student, body unstinted praise for their wise planning and direction, their untiring efforts in making this great social success. "A little better than any Classi­calia ever given," is the opinion of everyone who knows what these great events have been. The Berthana makes an ideal place in which to hold the Classicalia. It accommodates a tre­mendous crowd, it is a "place of beauty" and lends itself in every way to" making any big social event a success. Ogden cannot be sufficiently grateful to the families of David Eccles and Thomas D. Dee for con­structing this beautiful hall that has made these several years a great civic social centre. No oth­er city in the west can boast of i _ : such a hall. j j Miss Sophia Read, instructor in j artistic dancing and judge extra-1 ! ordinary of things beautiful and i artistic, says of our Queen's pro- j cession, "It was the most beauti-j ful of any you have ever had, and j have witnessed them all." This I opinion was also given by scores I i of other people who have taken an interest in these performances. ( It might be well to mention here that the credit for this goes to Misses Dobbs, Nelson and Stone, to Mrs. Coolidge and to a number of high school girls. PRIZE COSTUMES AND BOOTH. 1 In the variety and number of ! i costumes the Classicalia surpassed S ah predecessors-a feature that I was greatly desired. A fine thing j about it, too, is the fact thjit there was not a single objectionable cosj ! tume there. The prize costumes ! j were worn by Opal Burt, a cross- ' word puzzle, and Garff Wilson, a ! Chinese mandarin. The punch booth was considered by the judges to be the most art­istic. This was the senior booth. The construction of this booth was very simple, but beautiful. Lat­tice work with inter-twining fol­iage in front, and a beautiful land­scape painting in the oack. This i was a mountain landscape-a lake j in the foreground, with a wonder- I ful marble fountain as its center. i About the lake were trees,foliage, j a long line of mountains as back­ground and above these the won-1 derful evening sky with its varied hues and colors. This work was done by students of the school and reflects great credit upon the art department. WONDERFUL CO-OPERATION. Putting on a Classicalia is a fine piece of teacher-student co­operation. It requires many hours of faithful work, some worry and some sacrifice on the part of most teachers as well as about 100 stu­dents. After spending much time j in arduous preparation for the ! great event, each buys a ticket to attend the carnival, only to work i and serve during the entire even- ! ing and make it possible for oth- j era to enjoy the affair. I COULD NOT PLAY. ! An invitation was received from i Rupert basketball team, champions of Idaho, to play a game with Og­den High at Weber gym this week. The Rupert team will be passing through Ogden on its way to Chi­cago to the national tournament. Tae invitation was not accepted. the boys had already turned in their suits and engaged in track work and it was thought public in­terest has waned in basketball to the extent that no crowd could bo obtained. THEN SOME. Do what you are paid to do and then some. It is . the "then some" that gets your salary raised. GIRLS' ASSEMBLY. On Wednesday morning a girls' assembly will be held in tne&udi- j torium at 8:30 o'clock. All girls are requested to be present. Miss Lucille Wallace will speak on "In­terior Decoration." KEEPING QUIET. Keep quiet about your disap­pointments. My Uncle Bill used to say he never complained of be­ing cheated in a horse trade, be­cause it spoiled his chances of working the horse off on somebody : else. RAW HUMANITY. j Those who sometimes get dis- I couraged with themselves and gusted with humanity, might pos­sibly get some consolation by read­ing "Outlines of History," by H. G. Wells. We read this extract the other day at' a time when it made an especially strong appeal. "We are beginning to under- stand something of what our race might become were it not for our i still raw humanity. It is barely a matter of seventy generations be- j tween ourselves and Alexander; and only four or five hundyed gen­erations intervene between our­selves and the savage hunters, our ancestors, who charred their food in the embers, or ate it raw. There ! is not much scope for the modi­fication of a species in four or five hundred generations. Make men and women only sufficiently jealous or fearful or drunken or angry and the hot red eyes of the cavemen wiir glare out at us to­day. We have writing and teach-1 ing, science and power; we have tamed the beasts and schooled the lightning; but we are still only shambling toward the light. We have tamed and bred the beasts, but we have still to tame and breed ourselves." 32425 Ogden High School Notes An ounce of performance is 5 worth a ton of complaint. Be pleasant until 10 o'clock in 1 the morning. The rest of the day I will take care of itseif. j. On Wednesday (tomorrow) I morning the girls will meet in the school auditorium at 8:30 o'clock to hear an address on "Interior Decoration," by Lucille Wallace. All the boys of the school are re­quested to meet at the same hour at Central Junior auditorium. The! j athletic awards will be given out j j at this time. "Columns," a large size 60-page! ! breezy, worth-while magazine published by the University of Washington, was received, at the high: j school Monday through the cour- ' tesy of Elva Peterson, a high j school graduate, who is attending that university. The magazine in the matter of humor is not of the kind mentioned in these notes the other day. The magazine also has some very fine literary ma­terial stories, essays, editorials, etc. TACT. He kissed the parlor maid and the girl screamed. The wife came in and looked around suspiciously. "Fifi, why did you scream?" "Through joy, madam. The mas­ter has just doubled my wages." -Judge. NEAR TRUTH Irate Master (to negro servant) -"Rastus, I thought I told you I to get a domestic turkey. This cne has shot in it." Rastus-"I done got a domestic turkey, sah." Master-"Well, how did the shot get in it?" Rastus-"I 'specks dey was meant fer me, sah." APPRECIATION It would be quite impossible to thank personally all of our friends outside of school who helped so much to make our Classicalia the grand success that it was. Ev­eryone seems so willing to help that we hardh- know to whom we are most indebted. We are espec­ially grateful to Scowcroft broth­ers who furnished and served cof­fee gratis, to Mr. Gill for plants and flowers, to Naisbitt Automobile j company for palms, to Boyle's Fur­niture company for furniture, to pirents of the little, tots who made the queen's procession so beauti­ful. Oh, we just thank every­body. LETTER FROM CHICAGO. i The principal received a letter from Milton Kreines, '23, manager of the '23 year book, now a student in the University of Chicago,-r congratuiating the Ogden High on the wonderful basketball team. I Milton reports having seen Mr. Crisler regarding Ogden's secur-1 ing an invitation to the national tournament. He says Mr. Chris- ler was very much interested m the Ogden team and expressed re­gret that he was not permitted under the rules to invite our team to Chicago. (That's all right, Mr. Crisler, we don't mind.) We were glad, however, to note Milton's interest in his school and team. We are glad also t ok now that Milton is not only making good at school, but has received responsible assignments on the un­iversity's daily paper the "Ma­roon." TRIANGLE DEBATE TRYOUTS Tomorrow afternoon at 3:10 j o'clock in Miss Beck's room eight students will try for places on the school debating team who will meet Box Elder High school and Davis County High school about the middle of April. Each student will prepare a five minute argument and be allowed to refute the argument of the prev­ious speaker. Attorney Arthur Woolley will act as judge. The question for debate is "Re­solved, that congress should be empowered to override by a two- thirds vote decisions of the su­preme court which declare con­gressional action unconstitutional." INTERESTING LETTER. Mrs. Gertrude Coolidge received Monday, a very interesting letter from Midshipman Harry Lyon, '21, who will graduate from Annapolis i in June. At the time of writing Harry was in the hospital for re­pairs, as he had been somewhat wrecked by several intercollegiate boxing bouts. It's well known that Harry won last year the middle­weight championship of that ! group. , j Harry expects on graduation to ! be assigned duty on one of the large battleships on the Pacific wa­ters. He will remain at least his two years in the navy, but he is not sure that he will follow it always as other fields beckon him. We incline to the opinion that Harry will make good anywhere. At school he was especially apt at writing and was very much in­terested in it. 'The urge for writ- i ing is emphasized in the following ' wherein he is speaking of the good fortune of Alyson Smith in bteing connected with a big newspaper: "The newspaper game that , he is in is the thing that beckons me j with pleasant smile and alluring j wave from the ship's mast where' I am tied, Ulysses-like. What holds me up is lack of an oppor­tunity and my conviction that my love for belles lettres is well founded enough in ability to earn me a living and not merely a pleas­ant hobby. The smell of ink to this Lyon is like honey to the bear." OFF HIS BASE. The Tribune editor had quite an extended editorial in this morn­ing's paper on the Utah athletic situation. He insists that there should be no division of opinions on athletic matters, and that "the athletic controversy is doing a lot I of harm to the state." We dis­agree absolutely with the editor on both of these propositions. We think we have a perfect right to disagree on matters athletic just as much as we have on matters political and religious. It doesn't j hurt the state materially to have Democrats and Republicans here. There may be a little too much di­versity and intensity of religious opinion, but we shouldn't care to have everybody here moulded into one religious pattern. WAY OF PROGRESS. "This ain't no heaven, nohow," and we are not just prepared for perfect peace and harmony on earth. It's in these differences of opinion, struggle, effort, contest, that progress is made. There is no great amount of bitterness nor ( animosity in the athletic situation in Utah, and we deny that any great amount of harm ig being done. A great many states have little controversies concerning mat­ters athletic, and no one fears the state's good name nor reputation. And so in Utah, we may expect to have little troubles now and then, but these will be ironed out in due time and we shall find our- , selves a little advanced, a little better off for haying had the con-j troversy. A PRECIOUS GIFT An anonymous floral and poetic i gift was placed upon Mrs. Newcomb's desk this morning. Un­less someone speaks up at once we shall give Miss Dorothy Cragun the credit: The poets sing Of the breath of Spring, Tis hope born with a warmer day, It hangs in the air, 'Tis the old earth's prayer Through her daughters, March, April and May. The breath of Spring 'j Was on the wing When I opened my eyes this 'morn. I Her violets sweet Were awake to greet Spring's joy on their fragrance 1 was born. And I give them you My violets blue; Let them speak to you as to me. They're just a wee token, Their spell is soon broken In their perfume's a golden key. 3-25-25 Ogden High School Notes One of our rooms has this motto: "This day I will beat my own : record." Another room has this motto: i "Embedded in every moment is a ! golden opportunity." East, West and Ogden on Tues­day received an invitation to join ; the Utah Athletic association in i spring track work. The invitation I was accepted by Ogden Tuesday and will doubtless be accepted by ; East and West today. MASS PSYCHOLOGY. ! One of the very disturbing prob- i lems of the high school is to dis- : cover just why the large group ! acts so very differently from the j small group. The deference shown ! teachers in the class room, the fine ideals of proper decorum, the atti- I tude of respect for one another-- all seem to go glimmering when all the groups are united in a mass. A new attitude, a different spirit, a different conception of things seems to animate-the larger mass. We wonder why. GIRLS' ASSEMBLY, Miss Lucile Wallace of the Ogden Furniture and Carpet company presented the subject of Interior Decoration to the girls of the high school this morning-in a most in­teresting manner. She laid partic- s ular emphasis on the fact that ev­ery girl was at some time inter­ested in planning and furnishing a room, a group of rooms or her own home. That each one should give the same thought toward ex­pressing her individuality in those furnishings, in creating her own environment, s she did in her clothes and that, this expression need not be an expensive one, but what was needed was thought and tud.vi Mrs. Coolidge announced to the girls rne plans for an art lecture . illustrated by colored lantern, slides prepared under the direction of the American Federation of : Arts and obtained through the courtesy of the Ogden Federation of Women's clubs. The lecture ac­companying the slides is to be giv­en by Le Conte Stewart, which in­sures something worth while. The subject will be, "History of Ameri­can Painting." t The lecture will be given at the ! I Central Junior auditorium on Wednesday and Thursday, April 8 and 9, to accommodate thg stu­dents from Junior High as well as high school. Admission w,iJ1 be poc for adults; 10c for allstundents. , Phyllis Proudfit opened the as­sembly with two choice selections on the 'cello. She was accom­panied by her mother, Mrs. R. L. Proudfit.
