Oct 5-25 Ogden High School Notes CONTENTMENT. I have a little secret way Of plucking joy from out the-day; So many things make happiness- A mist of rose and purple on I The dim far distant hills of dawn; A bird song- in the dus'k; the way A wood-thrush heralds in the day; A flower fragrance drifting by; A sudden blue in clouded sky; ! The first faint budding of the trees; A cluster of anemones. Such happiness God has sent. And I, who find them, aim content. PHYLLIS M'GINLEY. Most everyone is proud to have favorable mention in a prominent newspaper; more proud if the mention is accompanied by a good photograph, especially if the per­son happens to be good looking. But there are ways and a way to have one's picture in the news­paper. One might get it simjply by getting married, or giving a tea party, or returning from Europe, or by doing some scandalous thing. Or one may get it by doing something unusual, distinctive, worthwhile. This latter, we all know, is the best way, the most satisfactory way. This is the way Phyllis McGinley got her name and picture and a half-column of tribute in Sunday's Tribune. Did we not rejoice, did not our chests heave, just because one of our Ogden girls has done a fine piece of work and gives promise j that she'll, do many other fine pieces? We'll say we did, and we'll say they did! Phyllis wrote a story "The Spider," so well that it was selected out of thousands of college stories to be printed in a volume, "Best College Short Stories." This is in­deed a high honor and carries a promise of higher honor in the fu- ture. All of Ogden rejoices in the I notable success. Miss McGinley is an O. H. S. graduate, class of '20, an alumnae of the university class of '25. Both at high school and college Phyllis did some very creditable literary work. Last year she was chief editor of "The Pen," the univer­sity's best literary magazine. The lines given above are Miss McGinley's, and were quoted as a sample of her literary power. We congratulate Miss McGinley and rejoice with her in her fine ac­complishment. ! IMMORTALITY. 1 To say a thing so truthfully, so beautifully or so well that all men will appreciate the truth, the beau­ty of the thought, is to achieve im­mortality in the hearts of the race. "A thing of beauty is a joy for­ever."-Keats. "O wad some power the giftie gie us to see oursel' as others see us."-Burns. "I dare do all that becomes a man: who would dare more, is! none."-Shakespeare. u. The" r oper "study of Mankind, is mian."-Pope. "Rip had an insuperable aver­sion to all kinds of profitable la- ! bor."-Irving. "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting.-Wadsworth. MASTER AND CHILD. Greeting his pupils, the master asked: "What would you learn of me?" And the reply came: How shall we care for our bodies? How shall we rear our children? How shall we work together? j How shall we live with our fel- ! lowmen ? How shall we play? And for what end shall we live? And the teacher pondered these words and" sorrow was in his heart for his awn learning touched not these things." Some day, we hope that teach­ing will involve instruction and practice in the vital, essential! things of life. I n UTAH'S RECORD. "No state has a finer or better record for championship in the va­rious sports than Utah," said A1 Warden at Friday's assembly. Then j he began tickling our ears with a long enumeration of Utah's noted jjtars. We were amazed as well as pleased that Utah has made, despite her youth, and paucity of popula­tion, such a fine record. Yea, Utah we love thee; we're proud of thee. Al was asked to print his story so that all Utahns might know our record. ALWAYS AN ALIBI. Some say "we lost the game be­cause Captain Clark was out." Oth­ers say "We lost the game on 'flukes.' The score should have been 7 to 0 in our favor, as we out­played them." And still others "It was our unlucky day." Anyway, we were beaten and as good sports ve had just as well admit it. The core shows we are on the little nd and we must accept it grace- ully. Congratulations West. We'll fleet you again next year. But it was a great game anyway; verybody admits that. The two cams were, evenly matched and he contest from beginning to end ras hard fought. SPECIAL PRAISE. Ray Price came in for special hention in the report for his fine laying. Ray did play good ball iid we are very proud of him. We e proud of every man on the I juad for each man did his level r ist, and angels can do no more. 1 RICH HAS VACATED. 5 Lyman Rich, instructor in biol-i y, left his post on Friday last as V 'eshadowed in the notes. He has s ne to his new field of labor in isatch county and he goes with i t hearty good wishes of the chers and students. May he a re as much pleasure in his new rk as he seemed to have while s ' .___ engaged here. Burdette Smith is substituting in Mr. Rich's place this week. It is believed that a successor will be selected during the week, as Superintendent Hop­kins is in touch with some excel­lent science teachers who are will­ing to cast their lot with the Ogden High school. CONCERNING CLUBS. New Students, new teachers and all interested in the high school are advised that all the clubs and organizations existing under the auspices of the high school, have as their sole object the develop­ment and culture of some depart­ment of knowledge or to further in­terest of some subject. No club has any special social standing- or aim. The pleasure in these organ- j izations is to come through work ; and not from parties or socials, j The student body and classes take ' upon themselves the responsibility of looking after social needs of the students, so that in joining any club students are admonished "a maxi­mum of work and a minimum of j socials and parties." EAST NEXT. On Saturday afternoon next the Ogden football team meets East at Ogden, Lorin Farr park. East beat Box Elder Saturday, but we haven't any idea at all that she will beat Ogden. In fact,; we are quite sure that this will be our game. A FINE BAND. The school band made its first appearance of the year on Friday last and made such a fine showing as to merit the unstinted prolonged applause of all the students. We were both surprised and delighted, j We congratulate Mr. Lammers on the excellent start the band has I made. LAMMERS TO STAY. Many were needlessly alarmed last week by a story told in the newspaper that Mr. Lammers was going to Logan to conduct the band at the Agricultural college. Mr. ' " " 'Ml III "Plininillllin III Lammers may go over occasionally to help build up the work at Logan, but he has no intention of leaving Ogden or giving up any part of-his work in Ogden. No, No, do not be alarmed, Mr. Lammers will lead the j O. H. S. band this year. The sky is that beautiful old parchment in which the sun and the moon j keep their diary. To read it all one must be a linguist more learned than Father Wis­dom; and a visionary more clairvoyant than Mother Dream. -Kreymborg. TREAT PROMISED. Tomorrow (Wednesday) Mr. Guy Morse Bingham, a prominent Chautauqua lecturer, will address the Ogden High students at an assembly. This address promises to be one of the very best of the year as Mr. Bingham comes very highly recommended. Pat­rons and friends of the school are invited to join us in this treat. The assembly is called for 11:15 o'clock. AN INNOVATION. A commendable innovation will be inaugurated on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. All R. O. T. C. boys will be invited into the gymnasium to participate in a song fest. The idea originated in the fertile brain of Mark Rob­inson, music supervisor, who, as­sisted by Reed Gammell, will lead. The boys will meet every Wednesday' at. this time hereafter and will sing patriotic and folk songs. We predict that it will be an enjoyable and profitable enter­prise. AT U. OF NEVADA. ; The good word came that Lloyd Bowen, '25, will enter the University of Nevada this week, j Lloyd will do as he did last year, ; work at night for the Southern ; Pacific and attend) school by day. j He is1 determined to complete his college course and we have every reason to believe that he will ! do it. He has the necessary pluck ; and he says a little family of three to care for meanwhile will not encumber him at all but will prove an incentive. Good for i Lloyd. WANTED. The high school office would like the address of Irene Merrill, ! clkss of '23, as there is some valuable mail waiting for her at the school. Anyone who knows where Irene may be located will confer a favor on the high school by notifying us. DO PARENTS REALIZE? Do parents realize that a single day's absence from school is a handicap ? That a few days ab­sence is a very serious handicap? That a week's absence may so retard or discourage a student that he may not recover during the semester? We sincerely hope ' that parents do realize the neces­sity of promptness and regularity of attendance and will co-operate with the teachers in cutting down absences and thereby raising" the standard, of our work. Teachers are devoting considerable atten­tion to this phase of our work right now and we do hope that parents are keeping close check on the same. Whenever a student misses a day or a class we are asking that parents write a note 1 asking that the absence be prop- erly excused. PUTTING ONE OVER. Among ' the slang phrases of today, "Putting one - over" is one : of the commonest. Some people I take a good deal of pride in ; "putting one over" somebody, not realizing that such a thing is an impossibility. In the last analysis one can but fool one's self. A seeming advantage over another is but hampering or low­ering one's self. Doing kind acts, tendering loving service, lending a helping hand to others are the only things that pay. Doing the opposite of these is a losing game, every day and in every way. We should do well to remember this. ARTISTS ALL. The American Boy expresses a fine thought in this: "There is no reason why we should' not put it into our every-day actions. It is to be an artist in paint or brush. But you must not let the i art show through any more than Leonardo allows his art to show in his paintings." Some one aptly said, "It is the purpose of art to conceal art." This is as true in the art of living as anywhere else. CARPE DIEM REPORT. Up and smiling! Yep, that's us. We knew that you'd guess it. Did you ever hear our song? Here it is: Hi ke i kus, Nobody like us. We're the girls Of Carpe Diem. Always a-grinning Always a-winning Always a feelin' fine. Hi ke i kus. ' If you'll just notice you'll see l that every girl of the Carpe Diem j ! is a living example of that song. j Mabel Reynolds, Reporter. SAD AND AWFUL. Ogden now has another awful crime tragedy that is being broad­casted over the entire country. What a pity that any community must be shocked by such atrocious tragedies as that of Saturday night. When one gets tired of life and ends his own we can give one shudder and let it pass. But when one goes about slaying an entire family before he ends his own useless career we are shocked beyond measure. The mention of this awful crime has no place in O. H. S. notes, except that it is a sin against youth, against a community, is a sample of what havoc, wrong education, wrong ideas, can cause. Again the victim, the young wife in this case happens to be a former student of the Ogden High school, a young woman of fine feeling sentiment, ideals and character, fully worthy of life and all the honors and emoluments that life has to offer. It is more than a pity, it is an awful shame that she should have met so untimely and. unwarranted a death. We express to the family our sincere sympathy in their extremely sore I bereavement. May they never cease to remember that Lavina was beautiful in her life, and in no wise responsible for her un­timely death. Moreover, they have onlv killed the mortal body; the real woman, Lavina, still lives. Her days on earth are shortened but her existence in God's great universe is in no manner affect­ed. __ WEDNESDAY EVENING, Oct 7-25 Ogden High School Notes Come wealth or want, come good or ill; Let young and old accept their part, And bow before the awful will, And bear it with an honest heart. Who misses or who wins the prize Go, lose or conquer as you can; But if you fail, or if you rise, Be each, pray God, a gentleman. l-Thackeray.
