Show SIDNEY MOLE. In the passing of Sidney Mole, I J who died suddenly on Friday j I morning last, Ogden High school J loses another of her promising ' I alumni. Sidney graduated with the class of 1924 and was just getting ready to enter his sopho- more year at the university. He j had made up his mind to enter law and had laid well his plans for entering his chosen profession. Sidney was a very genial, likeable young man, who had endeared himself to a wide host of friends. He was ever thoughtful, 1 considerate, courteous and was sincerely loved by all who knew him. Though he lived but a few years he lived well and leaves a void, not only in the home he honored, but in his alma mater, the organization to which he belonged. and in the hearts of all who knew him. May the Power that pities man give comfort and consolation to the beloved parents , and sister who are so sorely bereft. PARAGRAPHS IN LITTLE. "Facts are teachers. Experiences are lessons. Friends are guides. Love is an interpreter. Teaching is a method of learning. Joy is a divining rod and discovers fountains. Sorrow is an astronomer and shows us the stars."-Henry Van Dyke. "To what purpose should our thoughts be directed to various kinds of knowledge, unless room be afforded for putting it into practice, so that public advantage may be the result?"-Sir Philip Sydney. "One of the benefits of a college education is to show a boy its little avail."-Emerson. I I want books, not to pass the' time, but to fill it with beautiful thoughts and images, to enlarge my world, to give me new fnenas in the spirit, to purify my ideals and make them clear, to show me the local color of unknown regions and the bright stars of universal truth. "A pleasant smile and cheerfulness are valuable assets both in social and business life." Sept 23-25 Ogden High School Notes "The Big Three" is no more. The indications are that Ogden East and West will be bona fide members of J,he Utah Athletic association again this year. Ogden has six big football games scheduled this year, one each with West, East, Provo, L. D. S. U., Box Elder and Davis, j Three games will be played at home and three away. Ogden wjll j probably also get one or more big games on our own field with out-of-town teams. Our home games will be played as follows: Ogden-EaSt, October lO; Ogden-Provo, October 17; Og- j den-L. D. S. U., November 11. The out-of-towTn games will be: Ogden-West, October 2; Ogden- Davis, October 23; Ogden-Box Elder, November 5. EARLY HOUR SCHOOL. In accordance with a ruling of the board of education the high school day is from 8:30 until 4 o'clock every sohool day with 45 minutes intermission for noon. All , teachers and students are request- ! ed to observe these hours. For ! students not taking drill or regular classwork the 8:30 to 9:30 period will be a splendid time to : meet and advise with class teach- j er5' - _ - J FEES REMITTED. When the mandatory fee was lecided upon by the board of education, it was stipulated that' he fee should be remitted to all ,vho are unable to meet it. The ooard evidently purposed to make 4'ood the deficit, but that will prob- ibly not be necessary. The student body intends to provide every student with a ticket, as the receipts from the games will enable them to take care of all who cannot afford this ticket. It is expressly desired that the student body fee does not deter any student from entering high school. EXTENSION CLASSES. Two very popular extension classes will be held in Ogden this year under the auspices of the University of Utah. One will be a weekly lecture course on western history by Prof. Levi Edgar Young, who has specialized for years in this subject and is a very popular lecturer. The ' other will be a course in Biblical literature by Dr. Adam Bennion. Dr. Ben- nion- received his doctor's degree from the University of California for work done in this field and is also a very able speaker. These courses will be offered on such nights as will not interfere wjth other regular night school classes and will be largely attended as were Dr. Snoddy's lectures on psychology last year. The lectures will likely be given in Central Junior auditorium. NOT ABSENT NOR TARDY. Now is the time for all good : students to resolve that they shall be able to say at the end of the school year, "I have not been absent nor tardy this year." To be able to say this will mean much. It will mean success, for the student who is prompt and regular invariably pulls doWn the best 1 grades. It will mean that the student, has "dependability," a rare and ,a very valuable virtue. In the business of life there is no one quality that counts for more than "dependability." You can bank upon one upon whom you can depend. SHORT OF HELP. Last year the high school office j had two persons to attend to the clerical work. This year there is but one, as the board of education i is insisting upon rigid economy. In order to have the work efficiently done it is earnestly: recommended tht the absences 'i and tardiness be reduced by about 75 per cent, as these twin evils have occasioned a vast amount of work in the past. We not only believe that students can be more regular and punctual, we believe that it is absolutely necessary if we are to make the sort of school we should have. THE DO NOTHINGS. "The only people, scientific or otherwise, who never make mistakes are those who do nothing." -Thomas Huxley. Truly, such only make one mistake, but what a monstrous hideous error that one is-to do nothing. It spells failure. It breeds disappointment; it fathers discontent, mothers misery, and is the twin sister of despair. So long as one strives to.do something there is hope. When one gives up, he has reached the end. He may still be accounted living, but to all intents and purposes, he is dead. : THE "TRY" FAMILY. In one of our classes Tuesday a student was asked if he could put a problem on the blackboard. He said, "I do not know, I'll try," than which perhaps no better answer could be framed. It does very well, not only in geometry, but everywhere in life. He who tries and tries and continues to try must eventually succeed. We suggest this fine answer for every student's motto of life. As thfe problems of life come before him let him say, "I do not know whether I can solve it, but I'll try." Someone, I think it was j.Elbert Hubbard, once said, "There is; no failure except in no longer I 1 I j I trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose." HOW TO HELP. The State College at Iowa, in its plan for developing personality, offers this: To develop co-operation, 1--Assist actively in all good undertakings, whether in favor of them or rot, and irrespective of who gets honor, i 2-Do committee work when ' possible. 3-Study to make yourself fai I miliar with the larger organization of which you are a part, and I 'with the larger work which it is J carrying on. Cultivate a genuine j interest in it. , 4-Recognize your obligation to j the organisation to which you be- ' long, Be willing to assume re- : i ' sponaibility and to sacrifice your ; own pleasure for the good of thej organization. Get the "long run" i point of view. 5-Put co-operation in place of j competition. Do. not disparage 1 others but help and encourage them instead. j Anyone wishing to learn to play the bass horn free of charge will kindly apply to Mr. Lammers, di-1 rector of the school band. Mr. Lammers is very anxious to have a' player of this instrument and will furnish the lessons. Sept 24-25 Ogden High School Notes The assembly will be held on j Friday at 1:30 o'clock this week, j Attorney Stuart P. Dobbs will be I the speaker. Some excellent music will also be rendered. ATTEND UNIVERSITY. Among the 1925 graduates who p will attend the University of Utah this year may ,be mentioned: Marian Benowitz, Lucile Bryant, Clarence Clark, Violet Dout, Kath- ryn Fleming, Fannie Greenband, Jack Irving, Thomas Johnston, Helen Kerns, Eleanor Kidder, Freida Kraines, Irene Lockwood, Ben Lutzker, William Lutzker, Wesley Lund, Clarence Manning, Leland McLean, Harold Olson, I Valate Pickett, Alene Rutledge, Darrel Smith, Ruth Stratford, Helen Storey, Clyde Stone, Lowell Taylor, Rollo Taylor, Martha ; Wright, Glen Wright, Marian Horton and perhaps a dozen others whose names are not just now re- . called. PLAY ON SATURDAYS. An earnest effort is being made j to have at least all out-of-town football games on Saturdays this i year as students are very anxious to witness them, and it is out of l the question to either dismiss school or excuse any large num- bers for games held on school : days. Our first big game will be played with West Side at Salt Lake on October 3. , FOOTBALL SQUAD. The O. H. S. football team consists of 11 men. While all most deeply regret the serious mishap j that will prevent one of our star players-Captain Clarence Clark, from participating in the early! season games at least, the person j who says "this ruins our chances" i and "we cannot play without Clark," etc., evidently does not know Coach Kapple, nor does he realize that we have a goodly number of .men wrho will play fine ball. We shall be somewhat handicapped without Clark, of course, but we shall have a wonderful team, notwithstanding and shall make a fine showing. Just( watch and see! THE PEDAGOG. Every teacher is now known j as a pedagog. Originally it was I not so. In ancient Athens the teacher was not a pedagog at ail, j but instead the guard, guide or chaperone, who called at the student's home in the early morning to conduct the student to school, waited in an ante-room during the j day while the student was being taught and then conducted him I home at night. We presume there j was no truancy nor class "sluffing" in those days. We have ad- ! vanced in this respect, however, j most students can get to school ! now and home again at night without a convoy. AN ODD LAW. In Athens, however, the peda- gogs were so eager to get their j charges to school and so loaih . to return them at night, that the l citizens had to pass a law prohibiting the students from going . to school before daylight, and from remaining at school after dark. WORKING HARD. i In Ogden today students do not remain at school until dark, save only the football squad, who in their eagerness to get fit and put up the right sort of fight frequently find themselves on the campus When night's shadows fall upon them. The main effort these days is to secure endurance, to achieve which many of the boys remain on the field until they are pretty well exhausted. The writer is no physician, but anyway we recommend that the. boys do not work too hard, that they conserve their energies, as we believe they will be stronger, hardier and more tic, by leaving the field when they are still feeling vigorous and: strong. We see no occasion thus far of mental fatigue of those who ; are preparing for the school room work. Indeed, we think there is none in danger of mental breakdown as yet. SENIORS INVITED. The high school seniors are rather pleased with invitations to attend the Weber college faculty reception to be given in the : Weber gymnasium ballroom tomorrow (Friday) night. Thanks, faculty, we shall be there. COUNCIL REPORT. September 22, 1925. The meeting was called to order by the president, and the roll was called. Parts of the constitution concerning membership were read for the benefit of council members. Remarks by President Ure were made concerning the value of the council, and future events. Charles Emmett made the motion that the senior party be held Friday, October 2. This proposal was left for consultation with the social program committee. The , student body annual dance was L also referred to the social pro- r gram committee. ? The council appointed Joe I Irvine, acting chairman and ' Charles Emmett, Wendell Bramwell and Paul Chez as the standing social program committee. President Ure Announced that in the future the council would be conducted according to parliamentary rules. Meeting adjourned by motion. HERBERT VERHEEK, Secretary. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION. "Let's all get together, Get together Get together Let's all get together, And happy we'll be. For your friends are my friends And my friends are your friends; Let's all get together And happy we'll be." With the enthusiastic assembly of young women Wednesday morning the Girls' association snaps into a yea,r of unlimited achievement. We are a long and powerful train with no caboose. Each member of our body is a car; each car is linked by iron friendship. The progress we make is rapid and complete; the rails fairly hum with the importance of our work. Our praiseworthy officers and leaders are the engine-strong, |
