cused from class recitations. This action, we are sure, will meet the approval of all teachers and pa­trons. School is a serious, expen- ! pive business and must be conduct­ed as such. Plans were also formulated pro­viding for a closer articulation be­tween the work of the junior and j senior high schools. An attempt will be made also to secure more uniformity in the daily programs of the high schools. GAMMA KAPPA. At the meeting of Gamma Kappa Wednesday afternoon the following officers were elected for the next semester: -President, Charles Emmett; secretary, Dorothy Higginbotham; treasurer, Winifred McConnell; commissioner of school af­fairs, Mable Reynolds; commission­er of membership, Roland Morrell. HEARD BY RADIO. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Beeson had the v,ery marked pleasure Wednes­day evening of hearing their daugh­ter, Jessie Beeson Freeman, sing­ing at Los Angeles. It is likely that a great many Ogden people also had this same pleasure. AN ENVIABLE RECORD. It might be intresting to the public to know that of 500 boys en­rolled in R. O. T. C. 499 were pres­ent Wednesday. One was ill and could not be present. Every boy was properly uniformed, shoes shined, puttees neat, tie in place, etc. Captain Dockler wishes to ex­press to the boys his appreciation of their willingness to co-operate and the splendid showing they made. GOING TO SALT LAKE. It is estimated that more than 100 senior students will go to the University of Utah tomorrow to look over that institution. They will be accompanied by three or four teachers. This is known as senior day at the university and senior high school students from the entire state are guests of the institution to look over the plant,' engage in interschdol contests in; every line of activity, to spend in fact a happy profitable day at the state's highest educational institu­tion. RADIOTORIAL. An announcement of exceptional interest to the members of the "Ham-And" club and all radio fans of the school chronicles the suc­cessful completion of the super­heterodyne. Preliminary tests made Wednesday night with an in­complete set and poor battery equipment leaves no doubt that our "daddy of the lizzies" has arrived. Many' stations from the Pacific coast to Chicago were logged and surprising volume and tone quality were noted. The boys of the "Ham-, j And" club who have had the re­sponsibility of constructing the set can breathe more easily today. After putting the finishing touch­es to the job and final testing the set will be officially presented to the school.

The student need not be brilliant, if only he is in- i dustrious and persevering. In the h main, it is just this sort of student i who makes good We havw scores 1 of students who will get good grades at the end of the school s year because they have been un- j ceasingly industrious, always reg- i ular, prompt and attentive. Tlv.-se c verify the truism that. "It is not 1 the spurt at the start, bur. the steady advance." PINS RECEIVED. The "Stellae club" members are decorated today with neat little pins with the word "Stellae" en- i graved on them. This little club. ; under the directorship of Erica Berne, and advisorship of Willis Smith, has initiated itself into the j mysteries of the starry universe during the year and has had mar.y i profitable, interesting meeting.3. The school encourages "working clubs" of this sort. THE LONGEST HOUR. The longest hour of the day for a large groiip-all the R. O. T. C. j boys who have been taking drill , during the year-is the 8:30 to 9:30 o'clock period now that drill has been discontinued. The boys say they do not know what to do with themselves. UNIFORMS TURNED IN. Sergeants Mayer and Holloway are busy these days in checking in uniforms and equipment prepara­tory to the closing of school. The boys rather enjoy turning them in as it returns to them the five dollars deposited at the beginning of j the year. It comes in just about right at this time. NEW UNIFORMS. The government is prompt and reliable Already requisitions for 1925-26 uniforms have been hon­ored and shipments made. The invoices are received and the clothing will be received and packed within a few days and will be in readiness for the opening of school in September. KNOW THE AUTO. Boys in auto mechanics have just' handed in their papers. These show that the boys know a great deal about the history and develop­ment of the automobile, as well as its present day construction and how to care for it. We quote be- j low a few interesting excerpts: ! At the birth of our nation, walk- I ing was considered a sure an i rapid means of transportation and ! only members of the highest so­ciety indulged in the luxury of horse-dratvn carriages.--Kenneth Brown. An automobile will deliver as much efficiency as an individual puts into it.-Vern Harrop. The internal combustion type of engine is divided into two classes: That in which the combustion takes place gradually and that in which it takes place almost in­stantaneously. The highest thermal efficiency obtained in the best types of large stationary engines is about 35 per cent, while few automobiles ever exceed 20 per cent.-Leslie John­son. The first internal combustion engine was invented by1 Butler in 1885. In 1887 Levassor, a French­man, invented a transmission sys­tem, which, in principle, is prac­tically unaltered today.-LeRoy Crawford. ON OWN POWER. The first to foresee the type of gasoline motor was Daimler, who in 1886-88 introduced a carriage that did not need to be pulled by horses, but could force itself along - by its own power. From this early beginning the modern automobile has been developed, step by step. -Adrian Burnett. In 1770, a Frenchman, Cugnot, j built the first motor vehicle; this machine was a three-wheeled wagon and was run by steam, be­ing fired with wood and coal In England the first to build a car was Richard Trevitheck. He, started experimenting with cars in j 1801 and in 1803 he made a car j with horizontal boiler, and with - driving wheels, 10 feet in diame­ter. This led to the tubular boil- 1 er of 182 3 and from that time un- J til 1832 the building of motor cars _ made considerable progress.- Scott Kellogg. The automobile has become a I necessity, both in the commercial I and in the domestic world. Busi- 5 ness would come to a dead halt if j the gas car were taken out of ex­istence. The vast wheel of com­merce turns on the spindle of the, gas engine.-Thomas Paolett. SUMMER SCHOOL. The school year approaches its end. A few students will find it necessary and advisable to gather up loose ends, finish incompleted work and get in readiness to take up the work chey wish at the be­ginning of next year. Provision is made for such students in the sum­mer school which will open the Monday following the close of school. The summer school con­tinues for six weeks and has for its special mission the task of,,.en­abling students to complete work that is incomplete or unfinished. We recommend that all students I look over their records to see just where they stand and if short a I half unit here or there, they ar- I range to see Principal John Junk or Vice Principal Gertrude Cool­idge to clear up their record at summer school so as to be pre­pared for the opening of school this fall. A SUGGESTION. Which reminds us that we have I heretofore recommended that school be made an all year round activity and that there should be a full 12 weeks' session of sum­mer school for at least all stu­dents of elementary grades, and possibly for all high school stu­dents. As previously pointed out most elementary school children of Ogden have nothing to do in the summer months and had best be continuing their educational work. We are cognizant also that a great many high school students are un­employed during the summer and they, too, had best be furthering their school training. A LONG JOURNEY. Marcus Mattson, '23, is home from Berkeley He has completed j two years of his college work. He t is looking ahead to a professional career. He counts on completing j his college course in two yeafs and then entering upon his professional study of law. This will be a three- year course. To some this looks like a long journey. Eight years of elementary school, four years of high school, four years of col­lege, three years law school. It seems to take about one-half of life to prepare to take part in life the other half. Nevertheless, Marcus is quite undaunted as he enjoys his school wprk, and as to be a lawyer has been his ambition sinco childhood, he intends to get the best training; possible for his pro­fessional career. THE HAM AND CLUB. Last evening we held our weekly meeting at the high school and carried out business as usual. The club pins were discussed and final­ly it was moved to abandon the idea until some time in the fu­ture. As you all know, or those of you should know who read the high school notes last night, that our super-heterodyne is now giv­ing some excellent results after an overhauling by Mr. Smith and some of the members of the club. We have decided to show up all 'other classes and organizations next Fri­day in the great exhibition that is! coming off. After the business I meeting was over, Jack Craven gave a short talk on "My Experi­ence With Radio," and in turn this talk inspired Mr. Smith to write the following verse: RADIO SPRING FEVER. Shattered ear drums, howls and shrieks, Punk reception, radio freaks, Static anvil chorus; rings While the prima donna sings. Now we curse and then we praise Funny thing this radio craze. Good or bad, it's all the same For any bug who loves may 9-25 Ogden High School Notes It is expected that the year book will be out tomorrow. It is i,waited with eagerness. The assembly will be held on Friday this week at 2:15 o clock, j At this assembly awards will be made, a fashion show given, and music will be provided by the music department. SUNDAY MORNING At baccalaureate next Sunday morning the graduating class will occupy all seats on the orchestra floor in front of and including the row of pillars. Back of pillars on the first floor and the bal­conies will be open to the public. D. Sterling Wheelwright has kindly tendered his services as organist at baccalaureate and commencement exercises. We ap­preciate the courtesy. All high school students have been invited to ' a dance to be given by Weber college at the gymnasium on Friday evening of this week. The dance is given in honor of and complimentary to high school students. STELLAE CLUB MEETING The Stellae' club meets tonight at the home of 'Gerald Walweek 475 Twenty-eighth street. One! ot the features of tonight's meeting will be a debate on the subject, i "Resolved, that Mars is inhabit- ed." Sidney Badcon is president of the club. ALUMNI TO MEET The Rev J. E. Carver is father of the thought that the Ogden alumni should get together. To utilize this thought in a practical way, he purposes calling a meet­ing very soon, at which he will j give them an opportunity of meet- Mi ing one or more of the retiring professors of the University of Utah.
