COMMANDMENTS OF SPORT. Do not quit. Do not alibi. Do not gloat over winning. Do not be a rotten loser. Do not take unfair advantage. Do not ask odds thou art un¬willing to give. Always be ready to give thine opponent the shade. Do not underestimate an op¬ponent, nor overestimate thyself. Remember that the game is the thing, and that he who think- eth otherwise is a mucker and no true sportsman. Honor the game thou playest for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even "though he loses. GOD IS GOOD. We hope none reads these lines who has brains too dull or heart so cold that it does not respond these days to the above sentiment. As one walks through our beautiful j parks'or over our hillsides, with the sweet life-giving air impinging upon Ms every sense, and lifts his eyes to our beautiful, wonderful mountains with their ridh autumnal colors, his whole being thrills with a sense of well being, of calm de- light that makes him feel—if he doesn't say it—"Oh, isn't God good to put us into such a wonderful world and to enrich our lives 'with 5 such fragrance, such beauty, such - delights as these days give?" OFF FOR CHICAGO. Bill Hutcthings, '22, left. Ogden Saturday evening to resume his studies at Ohioago. He is very en¬thusiastic about his school work , and we are sure is making good i there. He reports that other O. H. S. alumni at Chicago are likewise enjoying their university work. WADE AT LOGAN. Of course it's ancient history j now that Wade Ellis is at the Agricultural college at Logan, but the J first official notice of that fact j aame to the office today in a re- ! quest that a transcript of his record j be sent to that institution. We are I rather proud to have "Red" honor j his state by patronizing our home school. We shall hear frequently of Wade's successes in athletics arid we are quite sure also that he will make a fine scholarship record. "We have much reason to be proud of many of our O. H. S. boys. ASSEMBLY. E Student assembly was called j Friday at 1:30 p. m. The opening j number was a chorus of mixed voices. Attorney Dobbs then spoke on "The Relation of Education to Crime." His plea, that we use our education for the constructive good, was eloquent. We shall all, I hope, profit by it. Ememon Thatcher, a new high school student, rendered a pleasing flute solo. Mr. Glen, a true high sohoolite in spirit, brought us one of his most excellent surprises in the form of Ralph Dexter. Mr. Dexter, for¬merly of Paul Whiterraan's and Vin¬cent Lopez's or oh est r as, is the most skillful banjoist high school has ever heard. In fact, there was a fear in the heart of everyone pres¬ent that our venerable building would topple, not from dancing the Charleston, but from the rhythmic (or barbaric?) movements of the students compelled by Mr. Dexter's music. Thank you, Mr. Glen; we invite you to come oftener. Weber cordially invited us to at¬tend the faculty reception, free, too! After announcements, in¬cluding the "big" girls' outing, by Mabel Reynolds, the assembly ad- ijourned to the seventh period classes. MARIAN URE, Secretary- Today we say with Herbert: "Sweet day; so cool, so .calm, sc bright, Tne bridal of the earth and sky; The dews shall weep thy fall tonight— I For thou must die." _ V Only a sweet and virtuous soul, Like seasoned timber never gives; j But, though the whole world turn; to coal I Then chiefly lives.

To be selected as j sponsor is regarded as one of the ' high honors of tne school. i NEW STUDENTS A number of new students, most¬ly from Weber county and of jun- j ior standing registered at school j Monday. SOCIAL QUALITIES One of the very big things in ; school life is the making jof friends. Friendships established in school! are usually life-long and are a source of much happiness. We livo in a world of people, and the establishing of amicable relations is one of the big elements of school life. The State college at Ames, Iowa, has this pertinent advice on the development of social qualities: 1-—Remember that others wish to get acquainted with you: , 2—Keep written record of ac-quaintances, making it a point to meet them from time to time and to keep list growing; I 3 —Avoid least appearance of snobbishness or arrogance; Keep troubles to yourself; ! Develop broad interests and ; sympathies in order to find com-i men ground upon which to meet J others; G—Forget yourself; j Familiarize yourself with the i common rules of etiquet; Help others to get acquaint- j od. SPEAK TO TEACHERS A teacher, the other day, made this pertinent remark: "I should like to get personally acquainted wih every student in the high school. I want, them to speak to me whenever they see me." We jl lio".e this teacher's ambitions in i this respect will be realized and! to that end we recommend that I all students learn the names of all the teachers and that they speak to them wherever they see them. It is not possible to come into class-room contact with all teach- ers, but it is easily possible to get acquainted with all, and we believe guch acquaintanceship ' should be formed. The lives of j both teachers and pupils would be enriched by a wholesome friend¬ship that migh i. easily be develop¬ed. Let's get together on this preposition and let school life con¬tribute to our friendship and hap- pin ss. LIKING PEOPLE Everyone has good trails. Ev¬eryone is worthy of being loved because of some outstanding vir- i tue. if only one can come to see j it. This is' one of the reasons why I all should widen their circle of acquaintances and friends. It might be a good idea, "too, that When a fault or failing in another is obvious, to try to overlook it, or better, forget it. Look for the good, admire, the good and see how soon one's whole attitude , toward life may be changed.

All you other clubs, look! at this, then put a similar event j i- on your social card if you would' 8have a genuinely successful party. ' Blt takes the girls to put it over, Sand set an exar'ple for the others j ,.to follow. Friday evening at 5:30, thf j Scheduled time, the members of; ythe Girls' association left Twen- .ty-fifth street for Fern Hollow. ffThe very fact that we started on ptine foretold that every other , event of the evening would be put. over with a snap. A few min- 'utes of not too brisk walking through fields, burrs and thistles; up and down hills, landed us in: one of the prettiest vales imag¬inable. The,re was a scramble j for the trees. This natural play- j ground had a great influence on! j everyone. Laughing, talking, sing-j ling, dancing, there was no end of1 lit; j Mabel camalong with the lastj group, and then things began to i I fly. Eager girls with "their big I sisters" brought wood for a fire; I IMrs. Irwin led jolly work. Sev- j feral buoyant Hl rang out amid; "the gay confusioK before the stuntsi began. During the second act of j our performance, m some very; thoughtful young men came from somewhere and invited us over the j hill to a place where they had laid! the foundation of a huge bonfire.! So ever we went. Everything was beaming with the joy of the festivity. There could be no mistakes, for mis¬takes occur only when they are 1 looked for. We had no awkward pauses; one tising finished; an-'" other began. We didn't have time ' to pull one .sob( r face, or couldn't had we taken the time. There was .a smile all the while. The'' stunts were the best ever. In fact, 1 ,vc couldn't hope to have a more successful party. . j' To those who were unable to go ,vith us, we can say, "You missed! ; .lie treat of a lifetime"—don't let ' the next party pass without your ' I presence. To the committees in : charge, we say, "Thanks; when5 I do we have another?" And to; j everyone else we say, "The Girls'j 1 party was the greatest thing this i j year"—watch f :r the next one." jj FERN DAVIS. j- That was some judge we read about the other day. He had be-! fore him a man who, the day be-j for.-, had been booked for drunk- enness. The effect of inebration . was not entirely worked off, for ! when the judge asked him where he came from, he replied smartly: "Direct from Heaven, sir." 1 i "Seventy-five dollars or seiventy-;" rive days," said the judge. "Thisj 'Is no place for you." . — j ( A student told a story the other 'day that illustrates a commendabla j patriotism. An Irishman was brought before a magistrate who; thought to reprimand the culprit; ljfor leaving his native land, only; a to disgrace his newly adopted j f country. ' , "Why dd you leave Ireland," j demanded the judge. "Because I couldn't, bring her- along," was the quick response. j TRUE LITERALIST That was a true literalist that; I the papers told us about on Fri-1 day last. He had been given a di- j jvorce decree from his. wife with thej "instruction that he should divide the household furniture equally between the two. He went straight! homeand sawed the grand piano into two equal parte and advised i ' his wife that she might have I'either half." "Ah, friends, remember there is a kindly Providence. The great ruler on high' looks after the drunkard, the fool, and some bus¬iness' men."—James Brennan. j SEPTEMBER 30, 1925 Ogden High School Notes The Spacious firmament on high, , With all the blue ethereal sky,' The spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim.

Mr. Stewart has arranged to : meet art classes in the mornings j only during the first semester, to I leave his afternoons free to en- ! gage in landscape paintings. We confidently believe that Mr. Stew- j j art has a promising future in his j chosen profession. SOMEBODY CARES. j The,fact that "somebody cares") i has been one of the most potent I I influences for good in the world. J jA vast' majority of the great men j ' of all time have attributed their j ; success to the fact that "mothers ; cared." All that' I am, all that 1 i ever hope to be is due to my j darling mother," is not the testi- rnony of one man alone, but-the I testimony of thousands. In the ! Ogden High school today perhaps I there are more than a score of boys and girls who are attending 'school because of the earnest so- , ; lieitude of mother, father, sister I j or brother. Because "somebody ' cares" they feel to disregard their ; own feelings and desires, and to I do the. thing that love and solici- tude want them to do. So we say that "somebody cares" is a potent, i influence for good. We are very glad that this silent, powerful. j force is operating. What a dull ! and sordid world this world would be without it. Who can aay that j "somebody cares" is not the ce- ; menting force of society, without I which both stability and progress I would be impossible? Very likely ' this is the silent force that rules j and governs the lives of all.
