Show FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1925 THE OGDEN STANDARD-EXAMINER In many respects this is the outstanding day of the year, parents' day, exhibition day-the day of fine programs, the day on which parents, teachers and students get together and consider in a serious way the accomplishments of the year. May everyone look back with a large degree of satisfaction. work-in english. The English classes have a very creditable exhibit today. There is hardly a limit to the different lines of work outlined. One may find ini the various rooms literary slogans and sentiments, composition aims! and objectives, correct forms of letters, business and friendly, types of literature, the development of the drama and other literary forms. The theatre in Shakespeare's time, author studies, advertising, compositions of all sorts, note books, in fact anything one wishes to look for. The English work is here objectified in such a way as to give even a novice a very definite idea of the ideals and aims of the English department. the minerati exhibit. The study of geology under Gordon Croft has received a tremendous impetus during the past two years. Room 210 today is a real museum in which one can find every kind of rock and mineral found in the entire United States. There have been carefully labeled, classified and arranged so that any one might spend a day with great profit with this fine collection. oral expression. The exhibition in the oral expression department today consists j of speeches, debates, declamations ! and dramas by the pupils such as is presented in actual classwork each I day throughout the year. Many, parents who took occasion to visit j the department went away with very definite ideas of the quality of the work done here. more difficult. History, mathematics and language teachers experienced some I difficulty today in illustrating con- j cretely the work they are doing, yet even here one found maps, charts, graphs, designs, geometric forms, note books, drawings, sentiments that attracted considerable attention and interest. the pageant. Parents who visited the school today were given programs of the S health pageant to be presented to- l night. It is confidently hoped that I the auditorium will be packed to- night, as no one can afford to miss the spectacular and artistic classic that will be presented by the girls of the physical education department. Every department of the school was "sold" to the patrons today and all expressed themselves as gratified with the splendid work the school is doing. the difference. The fact, that "clothes do make a difference" was wonderfully exemplified in that magnificent "fashion show" that was staged this afternoon. Nearly a hundred girls, clad in beautiful gowns of their own making, exhibited the infinite variety of texture, of design, of color and of beauty that go to make up the woman's world. garden of flowers. Every room of the high school is decked today with beautiful patches of color, emanating from God's great gift to man, flowers. Wild flowers and tame are in evidence everywhere, pleasing not only the eye but exhaling delicate perfumes that seem to reach the very' soul. A student was heard to exclaim, "Why can't we always have flowers in our schoolrooms?" tickets for exercises. There are 312 graduates. There are 600 seats on the main floor of the Orpheum theatre. This means then that each graduate can have father and mother at the exercises, and, unfortunately, that is about all. Each student will be given two tickets. In order that no one shall be favored above another, students will draw for seats. This means that one graduate will stand just the same show as any other to get best seats. One cannot rush in and pick the best. This plan was followed last year and worked! quite satisfactorily. . The tickets will be given out on Monday. the procession. All graduates and teachers are asked to meet at the city hall ori Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock to form the procession at the baccalaureate service. assembly program. The following program was given at assembly today: Violin solo, by student of j. Albert Ericksent accompanied by Mr. Jaggers; baritone solo, "Calvary," Irma Van Zweden; ladies chorus, "Gleam, Gleam Silver Stream"; fashion show, girls' domestic art department; saxophone solo, Willard Scowcroft; college medley, male quartet; awards; selection, Rainbow orchestra. baccalaureate hymns. "I Need Thee Every Hour" and "Onward Christian Soldiers" are the two well known hymns that will be sung at service Sunday morning. Every student should know the words to these hymns. , award for dad. In the giving of awards today, someone has suggested that one should be given to the favorite "Dad" among the patrons, the out-r standing father who has given most conspicuous service to the school during the year. This is an easy task and it goes to I. G. Sampson, father of Ross and Gerrard, 25 59 Monroe avenue, for the following reasons: Mr. Sampson has attended every athletic game of the year given at Ogden and a great many away from Ogden. He has attended nearly all other functions of the school and has been almost a daily visitor at school. His face about the Ogden High school has become ! about as familiar as any student's. Not only has he been here often, but whenever here he gives out cheer, encouragement, helpful adz- vice and wise counsel. . The school appreciates Mr. Sampson's loyalty1 and support and while we have no engraved pin for him, we think the statement of these bare facts consti- ; tutes a little bouquet of words that would do honor to any "Dad" or patron. Here's to you, I. G. my school. If I were a lark on swift soaring wing, I'd pause for a moment, your praises to sing; If I were a sea wtih a deep booming tone, I'd publish your virtues and claim you my own; If I were a tree, with arms stretched on high, I'd bow to the wind as 'twere you passing by; i If I were a rose whose fragrance is sweet, I'd scatter my petals, my life, round your feet; ffx"D Hacob, . . ! etaoin j If I were a lark, a sea, tree or roso! I'd love all your friends; disdain all your foes; Tour's would be then my sorrows, and woes; Your pupils, my teachers; your li-J lacs my rose, lly future is then what we will it' to be, As much part of you, as I'm part of thee."
