The speaker at assembly was f Clayton Hamilton, one of our foremost authorities upon liter¬ature. He discussed the drama, "The Rivals," and its author, Sheridan. The speaker was very enter¬taining because his delivery was smooth and connected and easily followed. He did not have that great fault of most speakers— laughing uproariously at their own jokes. He introduced his hu¬mor much in the manner of Mark Twain, in utter seriousness and inserted in unexpected places. His material was very interesting, and he mingled narration and comments so that neither was tiresome. I admire his smooth, easy style.—Winnifred McConnell. TO THINK ABOUT. Pat a puppy on the head or congratulate a man on his per¬sonal opinion and you have both of them going south. Backbone has made other men than chiropractors famous. Usually the more a man is wrapped up in himself the colder- he is. Life is too brief to waste any Of it in being slow to maKe friends. He that is good at finding fault with others and knocking is sel¬dom good for anything else. I am a bundle of prejudices and my thought processes are utilized to prop up these weaknesses ot mine.—Roe Fulkerson. I recommend to the legislature of Tennessee that it pass a law suspending the law of gravitation. —Hamilton. GEOLOGY HIKE. At 8:30 o'clock the other morn¬ing nine cars filled with geology students, and the teacher, Gordon Croft, left for a trip to study geological formations around ; Brigham City. The first stop was, at Willard where the students left the auto¬mobiles and walked about a mile up Willard canyon. The walk was very instructive since the students gained a chance to see the work done by an overloaded stream and lxv also get specimens of various kinds of rocks. The next stop was at the dugway on the Logan highway. Here a vein of calcite was studied and a few fossils were found. A little farther up the road a hike was made and many interesting and valuable fossils were discovered. m Everyone enjoyed the trip and H it was most interesting in that jthe knowledge gained illustrated J the parts read in the text book Hland proved them to be actual truths. 'U' DAY. All visiting seniors and contest¬ants at the university on Friday are expected to meet in the as- sembly room, top floor of the Museum building, at 10 a. m. At this time only, will luncheon t! tickets be issued. At 10:30 o'clock contests begin. At 12:30 o'clock open-air as- j e sembly in front of John R. Park building. Complete details of pro- gram will be issued students upon their arrival, on the campus. FORUM OFFICERS. f At a meeting Monday David Camp was elected president and Hal Armstrong secretary of the c Forum society. AN INNOVATION. An innovation was introduced in high school today in the appoint- gj ment of sponsor Virginia Malan M as orderly for the day. c SMOKELESS SMOKER. The committee in charge is n: making big preparations for the It ! athletics contests, boxing, wrest- d ling, to be held tomorrow night in the assembly hall. Some very i interesting bogts will be arranged, j IN APPRECIATION. j P McNab Boyd, 23, now studying i f( law in Washington, D. C., sent j y one of his teachers a beautiful bouquet of flowers on Mother's day with this notation, "In ap¬preciation of my mother teacher who did so much for me." AT STANFORD. Virginia Green, '24, has written one of her English teachers a e charming letter in Virginiaesque s style, telling of her very interest- ing experiences at Stanford, of her election to a choice national I '' sorority, describing her instructors and many fascinating things about Stanford. I Ogden students are highly fa- I vored in being permitted to at- c 1 tend the great universities in all 1 parts of the land. Teachers who i have helped them on their way 1 1 appreciate greatly being remem- i bered by them and receiving, now _ I and then, such charming letters. DON'T MISS EXHIBITION. 1 Students, parents. patrons, 1 1 friends, are again reminded not . ?to miss the very interesting ,ex- hlbition of the R. O. T. C. work_ j t' morrow morning at 8:45 o'clock a Tabernacle park. We hope ; 1 tiiat all of Ogden will witness : tliese inspection exercises. ! i MONDAY'S ASSEMBLY. Monday's assembly was an out¬standing one. Mrs. Edna Crowther Ririe favored us with two solos, Elvin Blackburn and Nolan Tay¬lor gave a duet in pleasing style and Clayton Hamilton of Colum¬bia gave us one of the brightest, cleverest, most brilliant talks we j have ever heard; a talk that was chock full of interesting literary information. In 3 5 minutes he I gave us a larger understanding and fuller appreciation of eigh¬teenth century; literature than we could get in a month of intensive stuUy by ourselves. FINE PROGRAM. Tomorrow (Wednesday) the music department of the Univer¬sity of Utah will furnish a pro¬gram fcr Ogden High school at 1:30. Prof. B. Roland Lewis of the English department will de¬liver an address. The public is invited to attend this program. A notice outside a church in London reads: "If your luck isn't what it should be, put a 'p' be¬fore it." 5-14-25 Ogden High School Notes We are all keyed up today; we j shall do our very best to be an I honor school again this year. SMOKER POSTPONED The athletic bouts staged for ; tonight under the nom de plume ! of Smokeless Smoker have been ; postponed for one week on account of a number of the participants taking part in the state track meet on Friday and it was considered inadvisable to attempt the two events, especially as we cannot j take any risks on losing any points II Friday. R. O. T. C. BANQUET. About 75 people, including 31 officers and their ladies, Colonel Harry Jordan and guests, were present at the annual banquet and j dancing party at the Weber club J Tuesday night. The student body j president, Tallmadge Boyd, made a j model toastmaster. Toasts and jj talks were given by Major Jordan, Captain Dockler, Wade Johnson, f Superintendent Hopkins, Principal Merrill, Colonel Ross Sampson, j Captain Jake Reynolds, Captain Blanche Wilson. The James Ure orchestra fur¬nished the music for the dancing. It was voted one of the very unique delightful functions of the year. ANOTHER TREAT PROMISED. The Rev. J. E. Carver announces that Miss Emma Lucy Gates will honor .the high school by singing for us at the baccalaureate ser¬vices on Sunday morning, May 24. EXTRA ACTIVITIES. All students and parents are ad- !' vised that all games, sports actii- ties, that are not a prescribed part of the curriculum are denominated "extra curriculum" and art to be : engaged in outside of; regular j school hours. It is against the pol- icy of the school to excuse students from any session of school or from any class to participate in outside activities. STAFF OFFICERS.

MILESTONES OF PROGRESS OF R. O. T. C. Christmas Classicum, 1902, ed¬itorial: The students of the high, school i have long felt the need of military training and are now almost as-sured of it in the near future. The Classicum, in behalf of the student body, wishes to express its appre¬ciation of what has been done for them by those who are looking after their welfare. Year Book, 1910, Principal J. O. Cross: Military training has been given a thorough trial. Under the effi¬cient direction of Captain Kneiss it has earned a permanent place in our curriculum, and hereafter its scope will be widened. Drill will be compulsory in the freshmen and j sophomore years, and uniforms will I be required of all. Classicum, Thanksgiving number, 1919: The Ogden High school has fallen heir to a new military in¬structor, Lieutenant Roland E. Everly. Immediately after his arrival here on October 17, Lieutenant Everly took charge of the cadet battalion, which up to that Kme had been under the direction of j Mr. Hendrickson. The first step taken by the lieu¬tenant was to order 300 rifles, bay- j onets and belts. He intends having j each man measured for his uni- i form and other equipment imme- j diately. These will be ordered from the government. According ! to existing regulations the uniform I furnished to the men will consist I of hat, blouse, breeches, two army j shirts, socks and overcoat, leggings and shoes. i In accordance the above articles specified with the exception of j socks and overcoats were furnished j by the government and have since lj been furnished, with the exception ; that after 1922, shoes have not been 1 furnished. jj TODAY, 1925. We have permanent equipment valued at 18,629.83. Uniforms on hand valued at 10,551.73. We have enrolled in R. O. T. C. 500 boys. The government is expend¬ing for each boy enrolled this year 76.90 in the furnishing of equip¬ment and instruction. 1 The R. O. T. C. work has come ' I into its own; it has received prac¬tically the unanimous indorsement! of the people of Ogden. The unit has frequently been characterized as "The Pride of Ogden." The board of education, the su¬perintendent of schools, the prin¬cipal and faculty have not only been converted to the value of the R. O. T. C. work, they have come to feel that it is one of the most valuable features of our education- j al system; an almost indispensible element. We hardly know what we should do if by any chance this government training were denied us. This branch of our work con¬tributes more to health and well being than anything else Ave might devise. It gives every boy an op¬portunity to develop the absolutely necessary habits of genuine man¬hood,, promptness, punctuality, courtesy, self reliance, initiative and leadership. These virtues are practiced daily for a period of two or three years and become firmly established as elements of charac¬ter. "Simply wonderful!" "That's fine!" "Great Stuff!" These are a few exclamations heard Wednesday at the R. O. T. C. inspection. It was indeed a beautiful sight and our sobriquet for the R. O. T. C., "The Pride of Ogden," sunk a little deeper into the brain cells and into the hearts of Ogden people. Shall we be an honor school again? Well, we'll say so! The setting-up exercises, the manual of arms, the marching of our unit is unsurpassed. If the Ogden R. O. T. C. isn't an "honor group" then "there ain't no sech animal," that's all. WONDERFUL MUSIC. The closing hours or ugden High Wednesday was marked by as fine a musicale as has ever been given at the high school. The Univer¬sity of Utah sent us nine of their best musicians to entertain us for an hour. Four of these young women with stringed instruments, accom¬panied by piano, gave us some wonderful music. If one had but closed his eyes he might well have imagined he was listening to thej Sherniasky brothers. Miss Anderson gave two splendid numbers that reminded us of Willard Weih and Chrisler. Another group, the vocal quartet, rendered several vocal numbers in most pleasing style. Miss Standing 1 and Miss Goodman of this group each rendered a couple of solos that were entirely delightful. Professor Fred Reynolds, hea,d of the extension, gave a splendid talk on "Plus Ultra" (More Be¬yond), the gist of which is to go on and on in search and enjoy¬ment of the higher things of life. It was altogether a "great assem- . bly," one that will be long remem- I bered and for which we sincerely thank the university authorities. HIGH SCHOOL SITE. And still the talk goes on as to where the new high school shall be built. A committee from the chamber of commerce is quite keen for the site at the head of Twen¬ty-fifth street. "It is so beautiful," "The view is grand." Many people at Tabernacle park Wednesday asked: "Why not right here?" This would be easily ac-cessible and would be seen by; every one that passes through Ogden. It is quite certain that what-: ever site is chosen it will not meet with everybody's approval. On this, however, all are agreed: A sihoubig securelaMJlm-.
