routine in life. We are creatures of habit. We do. clay by day, the things Ave" are accustomed to doin? in the visual way. Anything that tends to break up this routine is very likely to upset us and to lessen our efficiency and dependability. I I A concrete illustration of this is j 1 he occasional assembly (about I once a week) which breaks into I regular class work, interrupts the regular routine and disturbs some pupils so that they forget what class they belong: to after assem­bly; others getthe idea that one interruption calls for another, so fair to live up to their program; ! others still so object to the in- i terruption of assembly that they ! refuse to accept it as a substitute I and fail to attend the assembly. So ! marked, indeed, are the effects of a breaking away from routine on ; the work of the school that the .teachers have decided that they will try the plan of conforming closely to routine for a few weeks, permitting no interruptions of as­semblies or anything else. PUNCTUALITY. Suppose everyone in school waslate five minutes every day for the school year. Eight hours and a half every day of good time wast­ed, 180 school days would be 1,530 hours wasted or 235 school days whidh is two .school years for one student. Imagine one student at­tending school and wasting every minute of his time for two full years! Nor does a student realize when he wastes five minutes of a class of twenty's time that he ac­tually wastes no less than one hour and 40 minutes. Perhaps if we thought more of it we would be punctual, for enough time is wasted in getting the classes start­ed without tardiness. Conservative figures show that, no less than 9.00 a day is earned by an earnest student. If our school days are worth more than 9.00" in actual cash and, many times that in the satisfaction and additional knowledge, we should learn to utilize every second spent in school. We cannot regain time we have lost, and is aptly expressed by someone in the form of a want ad. "Lost-One golden minute set with precious moments; no reward is of­fered for it is lost forever." Fortunately most of us have learned to be punctual, but there still is a great deal of time wasted b ysome of us, and a great deal more would be wasted if all tardy students had to write a theme like this. For such themes as this dig deeply into time designed for Eng­lish and the English is uncomplete ; ed at class time. ALLEN HAMPTON. GOOD ECONOMICS. This generation is rich because the preceding generation stored up lots Af capital. We are living in the houses and using the railroads that our fathers built by working i overtime. j When labor loafs on the job it ' makes itself poor. We are not building fast enough to keep our­selves housed. Were it not for the houses our fathers built this gen­eration would be out-of-doors right now, with no roof but the sky. No matter who owns the capi­tal, capital works for everybody,. Ford owns the flivver factory, but everybody owns the flivvers. The oil king owns the gasoline, but he hasto tote it to the roadside where everyone can get it. Equal divi­sion" the goal that capitalism al­ways approaches. No man wants all the gasoline. He wants a few gallons at a time jvith a service station every few miles. Work is a blessing, not a curse. This country had the good luck to be settled by the hardest workers in the world. Their big produc­tion made us rich. If we slacken production we shall soon be poor. The Indians owned everything in common. They did not work. And they were so' poor that this whole continent would support fewer than two millions of them. Thou­sands of Indians used to starve and freeze every winter. The white man who doesln't want to work is sick. He needs a dose of medicine, not a dose of the mil- linium. The Bible says that in the sweat of his brow man shall earn his bread." JAMES J. DAVIS. O.H.S. BOYS GIVEN AWARDS Gift Presented to Coach; School Cadets Also Receive Praise At an interesting assembly of . Ogden High school boys this morn­ing athletic awards for football were given out.; The following were given second vear awards (large "O" blankets): Dan Kennedy, Ellis Wade, Clar­ence (Frog) Clarg, Max Morrison, Lei,and Newman, Ross Cox, Clar­ence (Mutt) Clark, Alton Parker. First year awards (sweaters) j were given to Ray Price, Ed O'Connor, Harry Thompson, Dorvyl Peterson, George Carver, Ed Dowling, Leland McClean, Ross Sampson. COACH HONORED. Coach Dixon Kapple was present­ed with a beautiful gold signet ring by the athletes of the high school in appreciation of his splendid work as coach. Accompanying the gift was this "FRIENDS TO A FRIEND." We have what money can never buy- The clasp of your hand, and the light of your eye, The glorious greeting of friend to friend, The wonderful help you are quick to lend, And we tell ourselves when each day is done- Whether our battles be lost of won; We are richer than many with all their gold, For we have the wealth of your heart to hold. O. H. S. Athletes, 1924-1925. R. O. T. C. COMPLIMENTED. The R. O. T. C. boys were high­ly complimented by Principal Mer­rill and Superintendent Hopkins for their efficient work during the year. The unit was spoken of as an "indispensable organization- a feature that makes for many of the most worthwhile things in j school." A victbry wreath was fig- j uratively placed upon the brow of j every boy who is contributing in any way to the high standard and IEoxkQf the school. 2-26-25 Ogden High School Notes We second the motion for a new. senior high school in accordance with the plan suggested by that fine editorial in The Standard- Examiner, Wednesday night. PJverybody admits that the im­perative need of Ogden is a new senior high school. We have now 1500 students of senior high grade and yet only two-thirds of them can be accommodated at the sen­ior high, the others being held back at the junior high schools. This is a very unsatisfactory ar­rangement. The Standard-Examiner only started things; it suggested a lo­cation. Let us go one better and suggest how to get the building. Sell Central to Weber college and use present senior for junior high; Ogden and Weber county unite in building one fine big senior high. Come on; let's go. "ON THE AIR" The Ogden Senior High school male quartet will sing over KFUR next. Sunday night at 10:45 o'clock. This should be of interest to the students, as it is the first concert tried by any Ogden High school students. ! The quartet is composed of Milford Piggot, Francis Hales, Horace Bramwell and Elvin Blackburn JAPANESE PRINTS Mr. Stewart has on exhibition in the art room a very fine col- j lection of Japanese art print from the collection of Dr. E. P. Mills. , The students, as well as the pub- i lie, are invited to come in and . see this collection. ART LECTURE PLANNED , The Girls' association has ar- j ranged for an illustrated lecture upon the subject, "The Development of Art in America," at the I. Central Junior High school on April 8 and 9. The lecture is outlined by the Association of , American Artists and will be de- , livered by Mr. Stewart. DEBATERS CHOSEN At a preliminary contest Wed­nesday night, with Attorney Ar­thur Woolley as judge, four stu­dents were selected to represent Ogden High in a triangular de- , bate. The four selected are David Camp, Garff Wilson, John Griffin, Ward Armstrong. These four will , serve on two teams, a negative , and an affirmative. As members of second teams. Frank Morrison, Jack Craven, , Chester Hyland and Tom Johnson were selected. LATE AGAIN Students are advised that it isn't the two minutes, five min­utes they show up late that counts; it's the demoralizing effect upon their own character and up­on the school. HONORS FOR O. H. S. STUDENT Word comes from Gooding col­lege, Idaho .that Miss Isabella Carter won first place recently in . the oratorical contest and wilt represent her school in the state contest. Her subject was "Ameri­canizing the Immigrant." It will be remembered that Miss Carter won honors in oratory when a student in high school. NO SHOW One of the loudest yelps that comes from a failure who is on hi way out is, "They wouldn't give me a show." Of course not; most all failures are due to the fact that "they didn't have a show." NEW TRACK SUITS Coach Kapple has ordered two dozen additional track suits and urges all boys who can to get out and train. In a talk to all the high school boys on Wednesday he outlined the many advantages of training and made an earnest plea for active support. LEARNING BY DOING We read in the newspaper the other day about a fellow who said he could drink a pint of whisky without stopping. He proved this to the satisfaction of everybody, but he'll never do it again, for he is now dead. Which reminds us of the story of the old dog that j was moving her pups across a j railroad track. One inquisitive j pup stopped to stick his nose against the third hail. While he found out all there Is to know about electricity, it never did him much good. DRESSES AND FLOWERS The graduating senior girls met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Coolidge and Miss Dobbs to make plans for graduation. For dresses they decided to choose white or pastel shades and wear white or light shoes and hose; that the length should be around 12 or 14 inches from the floor; and that the dresses should be simple and inexpensive, suitable for wear during the summer. There will be no flowers worn .at com­mencement and none received over the footlights: Further, they unanimously agreed that they would not wear flowers at the junior prom and recommended similar action by junior and soph­omore girls. BEING A BOY Growing up is a very import­ant process. It consists of chang­ing from a boy to a man. From looking at life in a carefree way as a thing to be enjoyed, to look­ing at life as a fight, to consider the sterner things in life. We are only boys once, so why not be a boy as long as possible. The joys of boyhood are not to be laughed at. The fun at the old swimming hole, the fishing, hunting and last, but not least, the fun of being a real boy. " When we grow up we seldom have time to enjoy iife. We are engrossed in making money and a place for ourselves in the sun. We do not have time to take trips nor do we go swimming, as it is beneath the dignity of men to splash around in the water minus clothing. As men, we do not see the playful side of life, only the debt we owe to posterity. Being grown up is all right in its way but why groy up until necessary. Doctors say that you aore as young as you feel. Some may like to act grown up but give me the joys and pleasures of boyhood and I will guarantee that I will never yearn to be grown up. PAUL M'CUNE. PROSPERITY VS. CHARACTER A very slight drop of the acid of prosperity will begin the revela­tion of character of the,, man-be he not big enough to be simple. The slightest elevation in position, the least new good fortune, some temporary elation may reveal it. Have you ever noticed the man who has made a bit of a success in the city and returns for a week to his native village. He says he has come back to see the folks, but it is really to have the folks see him. He enjoys the envy he excites in those who have not, like him, lived in the city. He wants to get sunburned in the warmth and fervor of their ad­miration. He stretches at length I in his tilted chair, locks his thumbs behind the armholes of his waistcoat, and plays a flute solo of vanity on his breast bone, using the buttons as stops ma­nipulated by his fingers. ! . WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN. 3 -26-25 Into the Sport Dope with Al Warden OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL hoop- sters in winning the tourna­ment staged at Boulder two weeks ago, were proclaimed Intermountain champions by sports writers in Colorado. Ten snappy -teams, including Butte, champions of Montana, Pocatello considered one of the three best teams in Idaho, Ogden and others were in the classic. Butte had easily defeated Billings, Montana, one of the teams now competing in the ad­vertised Rocky Mountain cham­pionship meet at Greeley, Colo. In the first place the Greeley tournament fails to have a single state champion represented. In most instances the teams are third place fives from the various states. This is the case of Billings. They finished third in Montana. The two Utah teams which have al­ready been eliminated were sec­ond and third in this state. Teach­ers' High of Greeley was third in that state, while the other teahs from Colorado finished far to the rear. Cheyenne and Rock Springs in Wyoming, were also down the line in the percentage column. After the teams are given the once over the writer is at a loss to learn just how any team in the present tournament can claim a title. The Ogden Tigers, let it be said, met some brilliant teams, any one of which Denver scribes announce, could defeat the best teams in the Greeley classic. JUST CHAMPS. On the merits of the two tour­naments, the writer believes that Ogden justly may claim the title of the Rockies. They competed in faster company, walked away with j the honors, and were undefeated during the entire season in high school competition. The Tiger hoopsters have dis­banded for the year, but their performance will be remembered for years to come. Truly they turned out a "wonder" five and one deserving of being called "Intermountain champs."
