Show THURSDAY EVENING, Oct 8 25 Ogden High School Notes He came, ho saw, he conquered. We are speaking not of . Caesar but of Mr. Bingham, who came to our school Wednesday s;aw a room chock full of eajger tyouth, and then proceeded to eo?cluer our hearts by one of the rnt eloquent and forceful" addressees ever delivered at th'e high school. Some of the interesting features of Mr. Bingham's address will be outlined later in the notes. GAME AT 3 O'CLOCK The !- game with East Side has been set at 3 o"?luc!,v J- Saturday afternoon, Lorin Farr park instead 'of 2:30 o'clcf1 as he-eto- fore announced, in orier give everyone an opportunity to get the I returns of the world series before leaving for the park. SNAKE DANCE Perhaps no great amount of advertising is needed for the game : Saturday, as everyoone knows it is to be the great game of the season, but neverbless the student body will stage a snake dance down town tomorrow night to effervesce some pep and to let Ogden people know that the school is very much alive. If you've never seen the "live" bunch, just drop down town tomorrow night'. If you have seen them we know you'll be there again to get your blood tingling .with the enthusiasm of youth. MAY BE IN GAME There is a possibi.lty thalt Captain Clark may be m at 1 least a part of the game Saturday Clarence is hobbling a0 n,nvv but he says the doctor Wil1 balndage his foot to avoid -urther i5njur and has Consented f his entering the game if. Coach iaPPle rgards it as advisable. s,tlidents Hvould certainly like f?o "see "Frog" in if it is at all possible, but no one is quite asanxious as Clark himself. GOOD SINGING The R. O. T. c icadetsig en_ gaged in their fist song. fegt Wednesday morningancl delihted the music masters, ;j-essrs- Robinson and Gammell, with the vim; energy and power with .which they indulged themselves. They sang several of the national airs ! in a very acceptable style. GOOD REPORT I Supt. W. Karl Hopkins pleased the students with the announce- j ment that he had just received j word from the state superintendent's office, that of the 45 schools ; in the state whose graduates took ; the state examination last spring i Ogden ranked second. : SMOKING Some people insist that most of I the boys of the 'high school are! I habitual smokers. Investigation j shows that fewer than 10 per cent I j of the boys are addicts. j ! Other people declared that a' ! goodly number of girls smoke. Investigation has failed to find a single girl who has adopted the .: habitv ! So far as the high school is j concerned we are sure the habit is on- the wane. Most students j have too much sense to indulge in a habit that stunts growth, j mars mentality and corrupts the manners of adolescents. Smoking may not be a vicious habit for adults, but it is assuredly a baneful practice for boys in their ' teens. All good people advise' against it and teachers - are using their good offices to check the habit. No boy, who looks for a I bright, happy, successful future can afford to take the chance of marring it by indulging in the i noxious smoking habit. A ruling of the board of education provides i for the suspension of the tobacco using student, but it is hoped that the school officials will not be obliged to enforce the rule in any instance. SCHOOL DRAMA A number of students have already signified their desires to compete for a part on the annual school play which will be presented some time early in December, about the tenth if a the- j atre can be obtained at that time. ( ! The dramatic coach, Miss Reva Beck, is looking over a number j of plays and will select the one J to be presented, at an early date. STUDY What think you of this thought: It does not make much differ- j jence what one studies-all knowl- : jedge is related, and the one who studies anything, if he keeps at it, will become learned, j A teacher was asked the other day what the student would learn j i in the particular course he was j teaching. He replied, "I hope you will learn to think a little more clearly, feel a little deeper, appreciate a little more. To help you do these things will be the , aim of the course." WISDOM Elbert Hubbard once said, "The ! mentage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life lies in love, laughter and work. President emeritus of Leland Stanford, Jr., university, David Starr Jordan, says that "Wisdom is knowing vhat to do next."

I Meeting adjourned. BETH WINKLER, Secretary. I PATHETIC YET BEAUTIFUL ! One day last week we saw a l young man crying bitterly. He j I j wept as if his heart would break. I I He hadn't lost a relative nor a 11 ; friend but still he had good cause I for weeping. It was appropriate 1 that he should weep. We admired j him the more because he could j cry. We were glad that he was ! i weeping for we knew it would do j I I him good. This is the best pos- I sible way sometimes to relieve I j the .pent-up energies, the agony, I j the grief. How one may enjoy j I a good cry sometimes! This 11 ! sight, to us, was in a- sense beau- jl j tiful, yet rather pathetic. Beau- tiful because it was so appropri- I ate and was calculated to give I the needed relief; pathetic because j we realized it was a personal jl grief, one that no one else could jl j share. Under such conditions, the! j only thing to do is to cry it out, j j and this the young man was doing beautifully. If this thought needs amplifying, recall Tennyson's won- ! derful lines; ! Home they brought her warrior, 11 dead; She nor weeped nor uttered sigh; And the ladies, waiting round her, said, jj "She must weep or she will die," |
