Show MUCH FOR LITTLE. The boys, on Wednesday night had two full hours f the jolllest I kind of a time fofr jW. 25 cents. I We are sure that everyone who at-j tended felt that they had had at' least, a couple of dollars' worth of fun. The occasion, of course, was (he "smokeless smoker" which ver-I ital.ly was "smokeless," but not entirely "bloodless." There were boxing- matches in which Sullivan 1 Corbett, Kilrain, Johnson, Willard'-I Dempsey and the rest seem to have reappeared in the ring" in the form1 and under the nom de plumes ofi Ogden high school boys Th1 wrestlers of all time were reincar-j nated, too, for the occasion and1 all bouts were so evenly matched! that one was led to wonder how these particular peoole were brought together. Every feature of entire affair was a grand success. We mention no names nor special events here, as they ' will receive full mention in another part of the paper to which we respectfully refer our readers. NEXT YEAR'S SCHEDULE. At a meeting of the junior and senior high principals Wednesday a uniform time schedule for all high schools was adopted for the vear 1925-26. The day will consist of eight periods, divided as follows: 1, 8:40 to 9:30; 2, 9:30 to 10:20; 3, 10:20 to 11:10; 4, 11:10 to 12; 5, 12 to 12:45, lunch; 6, 12:45 to 1:35; 7, 1:35 to 2:25; 8, 2:25 to 3:15. INTERESTING TEST. , Superintendent Hopkins is giving a very interesting test today to all history classes. The test covers current topics, civil government, history and aside from ascertaining how well the subjects are being taught will arouse interest and curiosity of the students with regard to things they might, could, would or should know. WONDERFUL SOUVENIR. The annual year book came out Wednesday in scheduled time and made students very happy, for like its predecessors it is a beautiful work of art and a wonderful souvenir of the year's activities. It will have a prominent place in hundreds of Ogden homes and through the coming years will be cherished as a happy reminder of school days and school friends. Students are proud of it because it is quite as artistic, replete and beautiful as any high school book published anywhere, which makes them feel again that in high standards and excellence Ogden High school stands at the very top in .all activities. The editor, the manager and their staffs are deserving of highest praise for the very splendid work they have done in publishing this book. It is a tremendous piece of work, entailing many arduous days and some sleepless nights. The staff artists, we think, ar-4 deserving of special mention foT we feel the art work surpasses that of previous years. Commendation is also given the priiiters, who have certainly created k thing of beau.s ty which will assuredly be a joy- forever. I We may acknowledge that there? are a few regretable omissiona ori errors in the book, but none dare' censure for we know that those' who prepared the book did the ory ' best they could and could not hope to create a perfect piece of work. We need not Say that no mistake was intentional. The wonder is that there are so few mistakes. BRITISH RADIO POOR LONDON.-British newspapers j are receiving many letters conl- plaining about the poor quality of radio programs. may 22 25 ogden high school notes The last lap; the busiest week of the year. For teachers and stu- ! dents as well, perhaps the hardest. i 1924-1925 passed into school his- tory as one of the most successful years of the Ogden High school. ! The closing assembly of the year j will be held on Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock. The program will be given by the senior class. The graduates are asked to meet at the Orpheum theatre on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock to arrange for places at the commencement exercises. TICKETS ALLOTTED. Students today by drawing secured seats for parents for commencement exercises at the Orpheum theatre aS- Wednesday evening. Each student was given two seats on the main floor and one in the balcony. As this takes all the j seats in the house, the exercises j will not be open to the public. Ad- t mission will be by tickets only. AUDITORIUM NEEDED. Ogden needs a large auditorium where at least two or three thousand people can be accommodated, i Many people are interested in such exercises as will be given Wednesday evening, and yet only a few- just parents-can be accommodat- ed. In many cases there are grandparents, brothers, sisters and near kin of the graduates who are eager to witness graduating exercises, yet i are denied this privilege on account of limited room. EXHIBITION DAY. Parents' annual day on Friday last was voted a huge success. There was a literal stream of pav- , ents at school all day, and the as- i sembly hall at the two programs j given was crowded. It seemed de- j lightful to be so favored. The exhibition was far superior to any j heretofore. All the departments i had something of interest to show and teachers, pupils and parents all j agree that the day was abundantly worth while and propitious of better days to come. REVUE AND SHOW. The dance revue on Friday evening was an artistic success. The idea of securing health and efficiency through proper food and exercise was illustrated through dance and pantomime in most pleasing and effective style. Everyone seemed delighted with the entertainment, as were they also by the fine fashion show of the aft- ernoon. About 230 girls exhibited beautiful gowns of their own male- ing. BACCALAUREATE. The Rev. J. E. Carver gave a wonderful sermon on Sunday morning. Practically every graduate was there and seemed to drink in every word. It was a most inspir- J ing address and an outstanding Occasion in the students' life. The j musical numbers furnished by the ; school were splendid and the two j solos by Jack Summerhays of Salt Lake were simply wonderful. A goodly number of peple feel that the services were marred by applause. It is preferable in services of this sort to refrain from ap- I plause. HAM AMD CLUB. We, the members of the Ham- And club take great pleasure in telling the public that this is the first club to put on a radio exhibition on exhibition day in the ! O. H. S. Our exhibition consisted j of about a dozen sets, including the j smallest crystal sets in Ogden and ! the Super-Heterodyne, built by the I j club. A program was furnished J by the Super-Het during the after- j noon from our local station KFW-A, LIKE THE SCHOOL. The following note was left at high school office Friday: "We like your school. 1 "IDA FITZSIMMONS, "Assistant Superintendent, "V. M. CLANCY, i "Clerk." W. S. Stone, class of 19 2 0, Ogden High school, graduat-ed-ircm the University of Idaho last year. He has had a fellowship there during the past year and will be awarded his master degree June 1. He will be remembered as the all- state -tackle on Ogden High's team in 1919-20. CREDIT DUE. In connection with the pageant, staged on Friday evening last and in connection with the work of the girls' physical education depart- ment of the year, special mention and honor should go to Miss Lucile Tribe, faithful and efficient pianist, who has been a big factor in the success of the work. SATISFIED. A prominent woman citizen, a heavy taxpayer, after visiting the schools Friday remarked: "When I see, as I have today, the work o? the schools, I certainly do not pay grudgingly one cent of the money that goes into the schools." Wo hope all-taxpayers feel this way for the proper education of youth is the big problem of society. Our future depends absolutely on the sort of work that is done here. STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE. At a meeting of the board of education on Friday the request of the school student body council to have a mandatory body fee for the i year 192 5-26 was acted upon fa- J vorably. The fee is placed at 3 with an option of paying a 5 fee, which will entitle the holder in addition to all other privileges, a Year Book. As the Year Book costs 4, it is thought that the major portion of the students will select the 5 fee in order to acquire the beautiful souvenir of the year's activities. LOVE'S STREAM. I remember Long ago- Bleak December, Driving snow. The flame of Youth No longer glows, Yet, forsooth, My love still flows. Though cold the stream, While memory lives, i I can but dream And drink of what it gives. RONALD BOTHWELL TUESDAY EVENING, Mi may 26 - 25 ogden high school notes All students will be requested to register on Thursday morning (advisory period) for next year'' work. It is thought that right now, while students are in the midst of their work, they are best prepared to decide on courses they should like to take next. In addition to this, students have now the advantage of the teachers who have come during the year , to know them quite well, and can advise them. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. At JJie. office this morning were exhibited nine of Mr. Salisbury's paintings. They attracted a great j deal of interest and were highly ' approved by all who saw them. It is net unlikely that one of these will be purchased by' tb.3 senior class as a gift to the school. HAPPIEST STUDENT. Jake Reynolds is the happiest boy in high school today. There's ; a reason. He received an appoint- j ment to West Point on Monday. He will leave Ogden about tne 24th of June. ANOTHER HAPPY ONE. The next happiest perhaps is Clarence Manning, who joins the navy soon after the close of school and will be assigned to a California port, where he will be given a six months' intensive course, after which he expects 4o get an appointment to Annapolis. The navy has appointments for 100 students, preferably high school graduates, and Clarence thinks he stands an excellent chance of getting an appointment. HONOR ROLLS. Again we rise to explain the ifc.ture of honor rolls at the high school. If 9 0 per cent or above ; of all semester grades during the i four years of high school ax3 As j with no grade below a B, he is j "Magna Cum Laude" studenThis requires a very high ratin and very few attain it. If 9 0 per cent or above of a semester grades m high school ar Bs or above with no rating beloi a C he is a "Cum Laude" studen More than 100 students of th present class met these require ments. TEACHERS LEAVING. The following teachers ha-y signified their intentions of lea ing high'school this year: Misse Summe, Edmunds, Dillon, Garrson, Cortez, Houley, Dobbs Messrs. Noall and Kristofferson Some of these are beginning nej year' in new teaching field some are getting married, soir are entering other professions. ;J one and all we wish good luck U. BOOK. The 1926 Year Book of th University of Utah, published j in the other colleges by tin! Junior class, hence the title, earn to the high school Monday. It ! a very splendid book. BANQUET TONIGHT. The Ham And club is giving) banquet tonight at the high chot . cafeteria. The club members r D'Orr Cozzens, Jack Craven, Seol Kellogg, Wayne Iverson, John Griffin, Rulon Scoville, Ralph Kimball, Edgar Calder, Ralph Stevenson, Byron Crittendon, Millton Farber, Warren Cross an Seeley Hopkins. These will havl as partners tonight, Ruth Stratford, Phyllis Merrill, Fern Pardee, Mrs. C. W. Iverson, Beth Winkler,1 Therma Scoville, Mrs. F. C. Kimball, Dorothy Brewer, Dorothy Higginbotham, Louise Richardson, Ruth Peterson, Helen Merrill and Georgina Hopkins. Club advisors j E. S. Smith and Ernest Wangsgard and their wives will also be i present as will Principal and Mrs. A. M. Merrill, Dr. and Mrs. E. I. Rich are the special guests of the occasion. public benefactor. Mrs. Frances E. Thompson, who ifor a number, of years has provided 600 scholarships for Utah students at University of California, is a public benefactor. It seems that a son of Mrs. Thompson's died while at the Universilty of California, and she decided to provide the training for Utah boys and girls that she had hoped to give her own son, and therefore provided several scholarships. Miss Erica Berne, as announced the otiier day, is the proud possessor of one of these scholarships. We learn that Herbert Adams has had one of these scholarships during the past two years. Another Ogden student whom we recall as having participated in the beneficence of Mrs. Thompson (now deceased) is Maud Allen, who received the scholarship in 1911. BLANK DIPLOMAS. A high school training involves the elements of stability and reliability of character. A graduating student who lets down in his work near the close of school and fails to finish properly is regarded as lacking in these essential elements. A few students fail in their work during the past six weeks and instead of getting a diploma are given a "blank," with the explanation that "they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting." They are required to return to school or to complete their work satisfactorily through tutoring or some other way before they are handed their ; diplomas. We recommend faithful, conscientious work to the very end of school. |
