4-28-25 Into the Sport Dope with Al Warden Greet Ogden's new mayor—Tom Johnston; and city commissioners,! Glenn Stock and D'Orr Cozzens. Look out for tho new chief of police i —Landy Norris. He'll get you if you don't watch out! MANY APPLICANTS The new city commission was be¬sieged with applicants for jobs to¬day. Many high School boys, hav¬ing run short of funds, are asking for any sort of work to help re¬plenish their fortunes. A goodly number were assigned duty in the "white wing" department. 9 HIGH SCHOOL JOB A number of boys made appli¬cation for the high school princi- palship. They all felt that they could introduce any number of im¬provements if only they were per- xnitted to run the school for a day. The privilege was denied them on the ground that they already know j "too much about it. The city was turned over to the boys this morn¬ing, that they might learn how the city is run; there would be nothing to learn in the administration of high school. BOYS' PROGRAM On Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock the boys will put on a boys'; program as part of observance of Boys' week. This fine idea was suggested to faculty Monday eve¬ning by Miss Beck, under whose direction most of the exercises will I be prepared. SPEAKERS SELECTED Honorable David O. McKay was selected Monday evening by the se¬nior class to give the baccalaureate address on Sunday, May 24. Arland Hansink was selected as class orator and Lawrence Van Dyke as -class reader. ORATORS CHOSEN At a most interesting contest Monday afternoon Garff Wilson and Lawrence Van Dyke were chosen to represent the high school in the Lewis triangular oratorical contest to be held at Brigham City on Thursday, April 30. Those who participated in this preliminary contest and who, the judges say, did most excellent work, aside from the above, were Fern Jude, Mina Storey, Evelyn Wilson, Erica Berne, John Griffin and David Camp. Mrs. J. A. Howell, Principal John Wintle and Professor Leon Wind¬sor acted as judges in the contest and are hereby thanked for their services. DEBATE WITH MORGAN The second team was debating this afternoon with a team from the Morgan High school on "The Child Labor Question." OVERWORKED STUDENT A letter from Veda Archibald, 23, now at Chicago, brings the un¬pleasant aews that, she suffered a nervous breakdown this winter and! has been unable to attend school1 during the spring quarter. The! J letter contained the pleasing infor-j mation that she has had a fine rest with kind friends in the coun¬try is entirely rested and has re¬cuperated so that she will return for the summer quarter. Ogden High has probably never sent out a more ambitious, determined girl than Veda and her man friends in Ogden are, predicting a great fu¬ture for her. HIGH WINS MEDALS In the invitational track and field meet ..eid last Friday at the B. Y. U., the Ogden High school team won a total of 71 12 points They won 26 , medals—13 gold (first place); six silver (seconc. j place), and seven bronze J third place), in addition to two large pennants for winning the half-mile and medley relays. Twenty-six boys from Ogden made the trip and had a very enjoyable time. More than 600 boys from schools all over the state took part. The B . Y. U. served a banquet to all participants after the meet. The medals are being mounted on a card and will be displayed in a downtown business window the; later part of tho week. ERRATA In the "notes" Monday the name of Alice Brajonge should have ap¬peared in place of Alice Droesbeck as receiving Remington cer¬tificate. The name of Albert Droesbeck should be added to the list. MONROE PARK TRANSFER A resolution will be presented to the city commissioners today by Commisioner Glenn Stock author-izing the transfer of Monroe park from the city to the board of edu¬cation on the payment of 1 and Le further consideration that the board of education will proceed within a reasonable length of time to erect thereon a million-dollar high school and will provide suit- Able athletic grounds and other improvements upon the property. As all the commissioners have al¬ready expressed themselves as be- .ng heartily in favor of the resolu tion, it will doubtlessly pass and the transfer will be made today.., INTERESTING TALK Dr. E. P. Mills gave a very in¬teresting talk before Miss Helen Cortez' second hour history class on the subject of Russia and Si¬beria. Dr. Mills' sojourn in that land and his earnest study of the situation there qualify him to speak authoritatively on most interest- i ingly. Thanks, Doc. Come again. TEACHER HONORED Miss Evelyn Dobbs was remem- bered Monday by one of her stu¬dents with a beautiful bouquet of ! flowers accompanied by this poetic ! tribute: j I've passed away from angles and fronj. circles and from curves. ! I've half forgot the triangles and can't, quite state the words. To prove a simple theorem as your smartest pupils do, But there's one thing I do know: I've kept on loving you. GRADUATION LIST The graduation list has been carefully revised and re-edited, and sent to diploma makers. It shows a total of 317 students who will be graduated May 27. 4-29-25 Ogden High School Notes If you are in the habit of read- i ing the "Notes," you must have had a hard time finding them Tues¬day night. And perhaps you were surprised at last, as we were, to find them under the well-known cut, "Into the Sport Dope," with Al Warden. W-e wonder how.Jl felt about it. I'll bet he ffiought At was poor "sport dope," arid if he didn't know that it was simply a mistake of the "makeup" depart¬ment, he'd be suing somebody for damages. CITIZENSHIP DAY. Tuesday was citizenship day in the . Boys' week program, and if the boys could only follow half the advice that was given them Tuesday on good citizenship, we'd soon have in America the finest body of men the world has ever had or ever dreamed about. Anyway, the inducting of boys into public offices for a day throughout, the country was per¬haps as fine a piece of practical instruction as has ever been given. Let us admit that boys probably never learned so much about ;civic duties and responsibilities in any week of their lives a3 they learned Tuesday. JOHNSTON SPEAKS. I feel honored to think that I had the opportunity of being mayor of Ogden City, April 28, 1925, and wish to thank Mayor Kirkendall for giving me the op¬portunity to take his place as mayor. I believe I obtained more-knowl¬edge concerning commission form of city government. from one day's experience as mayor than I obtained from my study of civics. —Thomas E. Johnston. NO WONDER. No wonder we are graduating a large class this year. We are sending them out in pairs instead of single file. A cursory glance at the list shows, the Bernard twins, the Addleson twins and the Lee twins. Maybe there are others. Who knows? REVIVING OLD CUSTOM. It used to be the custom in the Ogden High school for tile senior class to leave some sort of memorial with the school. Mem¬bers of the class of '25 are seri¬ously thinking of reviving the custom. They feel that they should like, in some way, to show their appreciation for their Alma Mater. Plans are being made whereby the boys as one group and the girls as another may give two entertainments in the very near future to raise funds for this very laudable enterprise. ; PAGEANT TONIGHT. This afternoon at 2 o'clock, and ' again tonight at 8 o'clock, the Central Junior puts on its great annual pageant at the Orpheum theatre. In past years the house j has been well filled for this event, as the generalship of Mrs. Helena Case is well recognized in af¬fairs of this sort and people de-! light in this gorgeous, artistic spectacle. The pageant was writ¬ten by Miss Lucille R. Chambers;the costuming is arranged by Miss Orissa Brinton. L. A. Ramsey as-j sists in the art work and Jean 1 Case features the moon. AT MOUND FORT. Principal Merrill spoke to the boys at Mound Fort school Tucs- ! day on "The Good-Citizen." With the help of his good friend Dr. Frank Crane, he emphasized the following: points: The good citi¬zen, 1. la a patyie-i, not a partisan; j first, last and all the time, he is an American. Pays his taxes cheerfully be-' cause he knows they are neces¬sary and he makes every effort to see that his money is wisely expended. Steers clear from prejudices —racial, religious and class. Hates militarism yet joins the army or navy in time of war to defend his country. Has a vocation in which he delights, for it gives him a feeling of independence and of helping the world along. Is intelligent and keeps in¬formed on all public questions. Likes to make money and likes to see everybody else make money. He does not enjoy riches in midst of poverty. Obeys law—whether it suits him or not. If he does not like it he seeks to change it. Wants nothing for his own country that he would not wish other countries to have. Doesn't want the United States to rule the world, but to be a big brother to other nations. Is a Democrat; he does not say, "I am as good as anybody else," but rather, "Everybody is as good as I am." Is a good neighbor. To lit¬erally and truly be his neighbor's keeper. TO ENTER CONTEST. The high school Will probably have 15 to 20 students enter the various contests in sewing, type¬writing, stenography and book- , keeping at the Agricultural coi- I lege on high school day, May 7. SWIMMING CLUB. The Girls' Swimming club has been organized at the high school. The constitution starts out with, "This organization shall be called Frisky Utah Nymphs I (F. U. N.) club." BIBB The object of this club is to j promote swimming activity in .the ! school, and to organize a swim- ! ming team to compete with other teams. Membership of the club shall be limited to 50. Success to The Friskies. BY COMMISSIONERS. Commissioner D'Orr Couzzens said this morning, "I surely ap¬preciate the lionor and privilege of having been "commissioner" of Ogden one day. I learned more about city government Tuesday than I have ever known before. I investigated the wonderful wa- terN system of Ogden and think it the "best in the country. I know better today what a fine pro¬gressive city we have, and I love it." Commissioner Glen Stock said, "I learned Tuesday that a com¬missioner's job is a big one. The commissioner has plenty to do; he is a public servant, and the people, his masters, keep Shim busy. I thoroughly enjoyed the day's activities and wish to thank those who made it possible for me to assume this position for a day." WHY MY THEME IS LATE. It was exactly half-past ten. The house was unusually cold. Complete silence reigned, except for the occasional unnerving scratch of my pen. Then, for some infernal reason, my pen stopped. I tried to write the sec¬ond paragraph of my theme to be, but my hand said "no," my wrist said "no," my arm said "no," and my brain said "impossible." Finally I decided to walk around for a while. I stood up, stretched my cramped arms and legs, shrugged my shoulders, and start¬ed for the great outdoors in search ! of inspiration. I opened the dooi, j and looked down the long dark j street. Instantly my walking im- j pulse melted, and with it my half-hearted ambition. I slammed! the door Avith a bang, turned, i gave the pen and paper a cold 1 glare of contempt; then walked j majestically into my room and proceeded to seek the "Arms of Morpheus." —Duane Foutz. 4-30-25 Ogden High School notes The annual Lewis oratorical i contest opened today at 1:35 j o'clock at Brigham City with j Ogden, Davis and Box Elder High j schools contesting. Each school has two contestants. The school winning gets a silver cup; the stu¬dent getting first place a fifty- dollar gold watch, and the one getting second place gets a gold pin. Garff Wilson and Lawernce Van Dyke represent the high school. TEA PLANNED The girls of the senior class have appointed committees to ar¬range for a tea to be given short- i ly to raise funds to leave a me¬morial for the school. The boys expect to have a "smokeless smoker" soon to raise funds for the same purpose. Each group is working to raise more money than the other—a sort of contest, as it were. DIVISION TRACK MEET The Ogden division track meet will be held at Brigham City on Friday, May 8, at 3:30 o'clock. ATTENTION, GIRLS! A girls' assembly has been ar¬ranged for Wednesday, May 6, at 8:30 a. m. at the Ogden High school. Miss Oetta Browning, superin¬tendent of nurses of the Dee hos¬pital, will speak on nursing as a vocation for girls. A musical pro¬gram has been prepare d.
