The contesting candidates were Kenneth Skeen, Emerson Thatcher and Bill Stra.tford, and their subject was: Resolved, That Col. Mitchel's plan for national defense be adopted. The discussion was awarded to the negative. All the contestants, however, were admitted to the waiting list, and in the near future will compete for places in the club. -Garff Wilson. STELLAE. "Abie's Irish Rose" should be complimented! Monday evening the performance was received from a distance by the members of the Stellae and favorable judg- i ment was passed. So high class ! critics, eh? In competition to their party, however, Carpe Diem and the Glee club met at the Orpheum at 5:30 o'clock to secure the good seats in a certain elite : upper section of the theatre, j Stellae arrived at 7 o'clock. Stellae ; got the front seats (all due re- i spects to Carpe Diem., and the ' Glee clubs.) However, the three 1 organizations had a fine time, and they hope to repeat the performance. "A boy is a man in the cocoon- you do not know what he is going I i to become-his life is big with pos-i ! sibilities. He may make or un-1 make kings, change boundary lines; between states, write books that will mold characters, or invent ma- j chines' that will revolutionize the; commerce of the world. Be patient with the boys-you are dealing with soul stuff. Destiny awaits just j around the corner."-E. H. ART TALK. For 40 minutes Wednesday W. Crawford Anderson held the Ogden I High student body as under a spell; and he didn't crack a single joke, i He showed us the great picture, I "The Raising of Lazarus'," by Titian, land talked about the features that make this one of the world's great- ! est masterpieces, and the elements I that made Titian one of the world's I great painters. We saw the picture through Mr. Anderson's eyes, as it were, and moment by moment! we came into a larger and grander appreciation of this great art creation. Mr. Anderson received the -hearty commendation and congratulation for the gieat art le'sson he j gave us. ' ART DAY. In a sense Wednesday was "Art Day" at the high school. Aftr Mr. Anderson's talk Mr. Stewart gave some account of one of Utah's foremost artists-J. T. Harwood, and of his exhibit now being held at the Weber gymnasium. He recy ommended that the school make a effort to get one of these great pi tures to add to our art collect' and it is more than likely that Vi students will act favorably upon the recommendation. GOOD MUSIC. Especially good music numbers mark the assemblies this year. Wednesday the violin solo by Miss Anderson and the song by the j girls' high school quartet were es- j pecially good and were thoroughly ; enjoyed by the students. What with our increasing inter- j est and devotion to art, music and : other good things, we are quite convinced that we are getting real, j genuine education at the high school. The place that music holds in life we believe is truth - j fully told in these lines which wc ask you to consider seriously: MUSIC. I believe in music, molder of human mood and inspiration, beau- j tifier of waste places, restorer of i despairing souls. I believe that through music can j be brought about the salvation of j man from many misspent hours, from unworthy impulses, and from premature spiritual decay. I believe in music as a channel of communion between man and his nobler self, between man and nature, between man and God. I believe in, and shall labor to hasten, the day when our country's music shall be deemed more valuable than its courts and tribunals, more distinctive than its letters. IRVIN S. GLENN, University of Washington. , AT EVANSTON, ILL. I Mrs. Newcomb received Wednesday a very interesting letter from ! Helen Tollefson at Evanston. Helen is very much pleased with her environment. The city, the school, her music and all are making a wonderful appeal to her and we predict that she will make a highly creditable record at the University of Illinois. r SCHOOL TRADITIONS. Some of the high school alumni are coming to our rescue with the suggestion that we do not forget nor j ignore the many good things that j have characterized the school in j: days gone by. "Cling fast," thesay, "to all good things." We ap- I prove of this good advice and shall welcome similar help and suggestions from other alumni. The high school is not alone for today-it was not built in a day-it is the embodiment of aims, ideals, customs, traditions of many years, and we must cherish the heritage left us. At Friday's assembly some of the good old songs and yells will be revived. Let the good work grow. ANNUAL FEATURE. Every year the Girls' association j stages a "play called "Mother's Tea." The heroines of the play are j the mothers of Ogden High school i attendants, and their friends are the members of the G. A., while the villainous part is held down by all obstacles which in any way try to prevent goodly attendance at the festival. The setting for the play is the rustic assembly hall. The directors are the officers and committee chairmen of the G. A. and under their able supervision the performance brings a wealth of joyous proceeds to all participants. TO THE PLAYERS. If any of the stars are unable to attend the performance because of household duties, kindly arrange with your older offspring to remedy the failing. If it is dishes that keep you and ybu have no older offspring, a bit of salt will preserve thefn for several hours. If it is younger offspring which might i detain you, there will be a nursery j and nurses to relieve of that bur- den. There will be no excuse for your absence, as each one missing detracts from success of our pro- i duction, and it is most essential ; that everyone be in attendance at the presentation of our play next Friday afternoon, October 16. All classes are open for your inspection before the curtain rises for the play. FERN DAVIS. HOMER CHRISTENSEN. In the death of Homer Christensen, coach of West High school, Utah loses one of her very finest, ablest, promising young men. We know of no one in the entire state who was doing better work than he. Homer was a real genuine lover of boys. He was a real "pal" and friend, wise counsellor and guide to every boy who came to West High. He was essentially a man of high ! ideals and character, of fine per- i sonality and delighted to use his every talent and gift in the uplift of others. He won the hearts of boys and consequently was able to mold them as he would. He tojk particular delight in getting hold of5new boys coming into his school, inducing them to slough bad hab-1 its, indulge in athletics and build! up physique and character. We ! have been advised many times by Pincipal Keeler and Superintendent Child that he was idolized by boys and consequently one of the bi- assets of the Salt Lake City school system. Utah suffers an irreparable loss in his death. A DREAM ITSELF IS BUT A SHADOW. When a person has a peculiar dream he generally puts the blame for it upon something he has eaten I the night before, especially if this dream be a bad one. But in reality one's dreams are but the shadows of his thoughts. This does not mean that one can think very deeply about something for a little while at night and then dream about it This method will n work. I know for I have tried it : many times. But if something has been troubling me for a long time eventually I will dream about it 1 A person can get a very good idea of himself as he really if by ' noticing his actions in a dream A asenothTn' Ut his iner seff outcome day am' that wi C0 Of course everyone dreams after a hearty meal just before retiring but what does he dream?

ARTHUR FARLEY. oo Oct 16-25 Ogden High School Notes "Of course what we have a right to expect from the American boy is that he shall turn out to bo an American man. Now, 1 the chances are strong that he won't be much of a man unless j he is a good deal of a boy. He . must not be a coward or a weakling, a bully, a shirk, or a pug. He must work hard and play hard. He must be clean-minded and clean-lived, and able to hold'his own under all circumstances and against all comers. It is only on these conditions that he will grow j into the kind of a man of whom America can really be proud. In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the lipe hard; don't foul and don't shirk, but hit- the line hard."- Theodore Roosevelt. THEODORE ROOSEVELT Today we commemorate the an- ; niveraary of Theodore Roosevelt. Today we consider some of the events of his remarkable career1 with a viasK- of popularizing. inculcating, propagating the goof things for which he stood. In remembering him we recall first his exceptional vigor-both physical and intellectual. A weakling physically in youth, by proper exercise, wise eating habits and out-of-door life he made himself one of the most healthy, vigorous, physically fit men of his time. By a no less systematic and sane course of work and study he madel himself also one of the most enlightened and versatile men of his timeHMHMfiiS'' He also directed his physical ! energies and his mental powers as I to stand out as a great moral force of the age. He was essentially a fighter; he fought for health; he fought for mental achievement; he fought for recti- J tude and right; he fought for T" truth and liberty. He enjoyed every sort of game and contest j and came to stand as the arch ; exemplar of the strenuous life- the life which he both lived and preached. It is well, indeed, that. ! American youth direct their at- : tent ion today to the circumstances, j achievements and ideals of this J outstanding American. A GREAT RALLY The rally held this morning for the Ogden-Provo game of tomorrow was one of the best held in years. The advisors, during the week have taken occasion to teach some of the good old yells, and consequently when the students met in a body this morning, they were ready to do some very effective yelling. It may sound strange to some people to take time from I school to learn to yell., but it so j happens in modern life that the j extra- curricular activities are a I very vital and necessary part of ! school life. Championship, co- i operation, sociability, good cheer, 1 good, will, sportsmanship are de- j veloped in school activities The i boy or girl who takes an active ' j part in school games and sports j will be much better prepared for j the game of life. "Sportsman- i ship" means much more than_ tgj-, ing part in sports; it means" jus- I tice, rair play, squar' doling in 1 j all the activities of life, j Coming back to this particular j I assembly and .game, we shall add : j once more, we shall make Ogden j proud of us tomorrow, for the ; students in the grandstand will ; co-operate with the boys on the field and will win the game. WELL REPRESENTED At the state teachers' convention next week Ogden High teachers will be well represented in the discussions. Dean Irwin will speak on the "Dean's Work in the High School"; Miss Nelson will speak before the home economics association on "Sewing in the School." Willis Smith will lead the discussion in the science department, and Keith Wahlquist is scheduled for a talk in the social science meeting. MORNING 7 -1, It is yet dusky morning. A j street car rattles up the street. ! Silence for a moment. Some one , cranks his car. He does not sue- i ceed at first and so the sound of 1 the engine puffing and roaring : breaks the stillness for a while, j The street car comes down. The ' voices of men going to work are ; very audible on the street. An j auto stops and the driver picks up a friend. He slams the door : of his car. Now it is light. A j delivery truck roars past. Some- I one is chopping kindling. The ' street car again. It does not seem so noisy this time. Every now s and then one hears feet tapping ) on the sidewalk. An auto horn honks. The rattle of the milk- f man's cart and the clink of bot- ! ties. : EVENING j The sun setting brings on the I uncanny shadows of the evening. The voices of children are heard. ' A thousand autos roar silently past. These autos differ from the ones heard in the morning. These are sleek, quiet autos. They roar and hum in a muffled tone. The street car goes by, nearly noiselessly, it seems. Someone calls his child. People walking by, talk and laugh, making a constant ring in the air. An auto drives up to a house and honks. A door slams and then the car drives away. It is dark now. The road is gleaming with headlights. The autos seem to purr a little louder. One by one the headlights disappear. They are not replaced so quickly now. The street car clanks and rattles past. Anotrier street car, , two blocks ( over, can be heard now. A roar- ! ing car is approaching. Suddenly there is a scream of brakes. A door opens and slams. The door of a house goes shut. The auto slides aw&y. The street car clanks and roars noisily past the house. DAVID CAMP. |
