register for next year A plan was formulated today whereby all students who expect to be in attendance at the high school next year will be asked to indicate now what subjects they purpose taking. This plan has two distinct advantages: (1) That it enables students to have the help of their present advisors, who know the students and their needs as well as the courses of instruc­tion offered in the hig i school, and (2) it will aid very materially in arranging the class program j for next year. In the Salt Lake ; City schools students do not simply - j indicate what subjects they pur­pose taking next year; they actu- jally register for next year's work. poor ogden The high school has received a letter from a photographer of Salt Lake beginning thusly: "We realize that there is a j number of graduates who are : vM-y anxiaus4o have good photo­graphs to exchange with their I class mates and that a number of the small towns have no pho­tographer," etc. Could you beat that? tooele responds The little towns, however, some­times have their comeback. For instance, while Salt Lake City is debating whether she can af­ford to accept Saltair, little Tooele steps up and says: "Hand it over to me, sir. I can easily take care of her." no flowers We presume everyone knows by this time that flowers are not passed over the footlights to grad­uates at commencement time in Ogden now. This custom was practicable and permissible years ago, but not with the large classes of today. Of course there is no objection to parents or friends bestowing flowers or other tokens J after the exercises are over. graduates guests After the commencement exer­cises on May 27 the graduates are to be the guests of the faculty for a couple of hours at the Berthana. Teachers are taking this occasion of spending a last happy hour.

It will be well for visitors to look up this room. a problem for teachers The high school teachers have been assigned the unique task of developing some plan whereby all students will be entrusted to live' up to a new motto-"Always pres­ent and always on time." A great many students are already con­forming to that fine ideal .and it is desired to concoct some scheme whereby all will derive the pleas­ure and satisfaction of living up to such a practice. It is hoped 1 to begin the new school year with a stimulus of operating under this grand motto. barren ground One of the so-called best books of 1925, "Barren Ground" by Ellen Glascow, depicts the sad, doleful story of a Virginia girl who is somewhat talented and gifted but cannot rise above her mean surroundings only to the extent of rehabilitating the old farm. The author has a graphic power of description but uses it whdlly to depict the misery, the sorrow, the injustice and life­long mental agonies of this un­fortunate girl. There is not one iota of humor in the entire book; not one smile, not one ray of sun­shine. We protest against this morbid, unreal realism. Life isn't that way. Everyone gets a little fun out of life once in a while anyway. People who have , no sence of humor should not write - Woks May 20 '21 Ogden High School Notes school calendar.

Through the kind efforts of Mr. Carver, we shall enjoy the treat of hearing one of Utah's greatest soloists, Jack Summerhays, at bac­calaureate exercises next Sunday. Mr. Summerhays will sing two numbers, "Comfort Ye My People" (Handel) and "The Pilgrim" (Speaks). another picture. In the art. room this week we have some of eight or ten beautiful pictures paiiTted by Utah artists from which one will be selected is a gift to the school by the Girls' as­sociation. The girls have nearly enough money to buy the picture, and to make up the little lacking, the girls at a meeting Tuesday de­cided to make an assessment of 10 cents on each member of the association. We regard this as a fine bit of loyalty and commend the girls for their devotion. highest awards. Someone said that "he who de­serves a monument should not be given one for his memory would be perpetuated without it." Some­thing of this sort is happening at the high- school. A great many students who have served the school unselfishly and untiringly in many ways will be given no awards, no prizes, no special hon­ors save the deepseated gratitude of students, faculty and and school friends. They will be held in grate­ful remembrance though they may be given no material insignia. A bigger reward is theirs, however, in the consciousness of having r-eadered loyal, faithful service. errata. We learn that Dr. Carver, a re­gent of the University of Utah, re­ferred the other day to alumni of University of Utah, instead of the high school as mentioned in Tues­day's notes. Anyway, no "harm was done and it still remains true that the O. H. S. alumni should have a meeting, organize and ar­range to get together occasionally. We hope someone will lead out soon and that the old Ogden High spirit "will be revived. interesting survey. A survey was made last week by one of Mr. Robins' English classes to determine the real sentiment of students concerning a mandatory student body fee. A questionnaire was sent through the building, ask­ing students to give definite, con­cise answer without signing names. The result, shows that more than three-fourths of the students are positively in favor of the plan. Most f them favor the 3 fee. biology exhibit. In room 306-A, biology room, one will find on Friday practically every wild .flower growing in this region. Last year Mr. Smith's ex­hibit of wild flora attracted so much attention that the botany classes decided this year to repeat the exhibition. Miss Garrison's sci­ence classes will also exhibit some very interesting drawings and pos­ters made by class members. The parents, we are sure, will be very much interested in this exhibit. ham and. The Radio club will give a con- f cert during exhibit hours on Friday and will also have some inter­esting things to show and say about the club's work. the point of view. A woman school teacher, who has observed the evening skies under j rather favorable circumstances this j spring, said to another woma teacher the other day: "Don't you think' the sky is wonderful this year?" "It all depends," said the other, "on your point of view, it doesn't seem to have appealed so much to me." Next! Watching the diamond-lit sky at night, especially in the spring, ; sometimes results in a beautiful j diamond neatly set in a ring. "smokeless smoker."

A goodly number of people think the upper Twenty-fifth street site is the proper one for the new high school. It is a beautiful site, as- we admit, but here is one argu­ment that mitigates against that lo­cation. It is not easily accessible to any large number of pupils and never can be. That location would mean that 90 per cent of the stu­dents would have to pay street car transportation to and from school every day or drive the automobile. This expense, in the course of years, would be enormous. This item alone should prohibit the building of the school at that point as it would work a hardship on the major portion of the students. good definitions. A history class Tuesday was giv­en five minutes in which students were asked to give their idea of education. One student wrote: "Education, to my mind, la a .training to f the mind and body In order to give the world a service that will return to the Individual § happiness and prosperity through realizing his value to his family, his i nation and the world at large." Frank Francis Jr. Another -wrote: "The true func- tion of education is to train the individual how to get the best out of life, to make him economically independent, and to make him a ; builder of a better community and i better world." Marian Colburn. "BEING LATE." (An Apology to Mrs. Coolidge for "Being Late.") Oh! Why can I not wish Myself from place to place And thus avoid annoying you And earning the disgrace Of "Being Late"? As home, at noon, for luncn I quickly go, I never do an extra thing And yet 'tis time I know I'm "Being Late."

Those who anticipate witnessing! the health revue pageant tomor- j row evening will be interested inj , knowing that the story of the pag-; eant is the story of the year's work I in girls' physical education, setting forth the ideals and aims of the j department. It promises to be a very worthwhile event. home economics. Mothers will be delighted with the exhibition of work tomorrow, both in the domestic science and domestic art departments. Splen­did work is done in both cooking and sewing. The school chooses to) regard these subjects as majors and feels that every girl should take at least one if not both. In practical­ly all high schools of the state a unit of credit in home economics is required for graduation from every course. This rule has not been adopted as yet at Ogden, but we do strongly recommend the work, as we do also the mechanic . arts and practical courses for boys. art. ' The high school is especially proud of its art department under the direction of Le Conte Stewart. Some very splendid work is being : done and attracts the attention of all visitors at the high school. It will be one of tjhe centers of at­traction at parents' day tomorrow. here's where. How many people know what ; taraxacum officinale is? None? Well, then, everyone should cer­tainly visit the botany laboratory Friday and find out what this flow­er is. Not only this one, but about one hundred other specimens will be there on display. Perhaps you will learn the name of a flower that has puzzled you, or you may I become acquainted with some new ones. At any rate, you are sure to find a beautiful exhibition in 306-A. BLANCHE SCOWCROFT. in old virginia.
