Show llcity, luxury—to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming man¬ner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind." POLITICAL IDEAL "My political ideal is democracy. Everyone should be respected as an individual, Dut no one idolized. It is an irony at fate that I should have been showered with so much uncalled for and unmerited admira-tion and esteem." THE MYSTERIOUS--THE BEAUTIFUL "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source ot all true art and science. He tc whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed." OFFICIALS' SCHOOL This evening at 7:30 o'clock a spe¬cial school for all athletic officials In this district is opening at Brig- ham City, probably at Box Elder High school. DEDICATION GAME Arrangements are being made to make the Weber vs. Ogden game on October 24, the big game of the season and to dedicate the stadium at that time. The movement will be sponsored and encouraged by the chamber of commerce, the American Legion, the service clubs, in fact, by all the citizens of Ogden. This should be the record game of the year. CAFETERIA OPENS The school cafeteria opened yesterdi. with Miss Mealiff directing and Mrs. E. D. Davis and Mrs. Martha Camahan assisting. The helpers generously contributed a nice bouquet for each table, making the dining room inviting and cheer- Ogden High September 25, 1930 "An/active mind in an active body vis said to be conducive to long life."—Florence Herald. This is another good reason for school, for training, for education. Would you like to hear something good? Then be sure to be at high school early Friday morning, at 8:30 o'clock, to the weekly assembly. We are to have a program put on by the music department and you'll miss it if you do not come early. Parents, too, are invited. "We have tried to teach our stu¬dents what to think instead of how to think."—Glenn Frank. A NEW SUBJECT President George Thomas has heretofore talked to his faculty on . "Scholarship." This year he talks on honesty, fair dealing, ideals, up- i right living, righteousness. AT PARK CITY The many friends of Miss Sara Keener, for several years instructor in English at the Ogden High school, will be glad to learn that Miss Keener is happily located in the Park City High school, where she is still instructing youth in the ways and byways of correct English speech. DOMESTICATED The good news was also brought to high school this week that an¬other former teacher, Miss Reva Beck of the oral expression department, who entered the sacred realm of matrimony somewhat more than a year ago, has now become the happy mother of a beautiful baby girl. PARTY SCHEDULE A tentative schedule of the danc¬ing parties of the year has been drawn up.

PHYSICALLY FIT Coach Ernest Simkln is a strong believer in physical fitness. Both as Instructor in physical education and as coach, he believes in plenty of strenuous exercise to harden mus¬cles, to give resiliency, to give pow¬er, strength and endurance. He be¬lieves that a good mind is best de¬veloped in a strong body. In the ten days that he has been at Og¬den High school he has developed a sense of pride in physical fitness and has won the confidence and respect of the high school boys. GOOD NEWS We extend our congratulations to the city commission and the stadium board on their wise decision to in¬stall a lighting system at the city stadium, so that night football, pageants and other forms of recreation and entertainment can be provided in the out-of-work hours. Many people—we were about to say most people—are obliged to work and consequently have been deprived of the opportunity of attending games scheduled during the afternoons. At night practically everybody is free and will be able to enjoy to the full stadium events. Night football has been very popular and very successful wherever tried and consequently we have every reason to believe they will be very successful in Ogden. TWELVE-MINUTE QUARTERS The Utah High School Athletic association recommends twelve-min¬ute quarters for all league games in high school. This is in accordance with the national rules committee and the code of rules that govern the game. Ogden High September 26, 1930 In years before us great success Has e'er been earned for O. H. S. Students, it's true, have gone, But in their hearts lives a song. They loved their own dear school. They lived the golden rule. Can we not do better than they? Come all, be happy, be gay! And in this hew year do our best To crown with laurels O. H. S. —A Senior. JUNIOR OFFICERS The following officers were elect¬ed yesterday for the junior class. Bob Bingham, president; Ed Ol¬son, vice president; Elpha Morse, secretary; council members, Mary Walker, Joe Fowler, Paul Goddard and Earl Reeve. WANTED Superintendent Hopkins desires every student in the Ogden city schools to hear the United States marine band, one week from today, at the city stadium. To that end he is arranging for the closing of the schools during the afternoon of Fri¬day, October 3. TEACHER SOCIAL The faculty social committee, con¬sisting of Miss Emma Chesney, Mrs Blanche McKey, William Abplanalp and Varian Hale has arranged for a social to be held this evening at the home of Mrs. Lucile Chambers, 1490- Beverley drive. A NEW CLASS A new class has been opened in the high school this year. This is a class in public speaking and debat¬ing and is conducted during the seventh period by Mrs. Blanche Thomas McKey. Incidentally the class work will supplement the ex¬cellent work done by the Forum and Congress clubs, and will be of great assistance, too, to all students who wish to enter local, state and national contests. WORK FOR BOYS Fifty boys were selected today from the Ogden High schools, senior and junior, to distribute new tele-phone directories on Monday and Tuesday afternoons next. The boys will be well paid for the work. This courtesy comes to Ogden school boys through the district manager, George Quillian. NEW TYPEWRITERS Five new Woodstock typewriters have been added to the typewriting department this week. These were much needed and we thank the board of educati and Superin¬tendent Hopkins for meeting this pressing need of our school. THANKS, MR. DRIGGS Through the kindness and courtesy of Superintendent Frank Driggs of the State School for the Blind, a new practice field for foot¬ball boys is being provided near that school. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Thank you, Mr. Driggs. CONCERNING ABSENCES Students are earnestly requested to be in attendance at school every day, if possible, so that satisfactory work may be done. In case of sick¬ness or other potent reason for missing school, the student is re¬quested to bring written explana¬tion from parent for such absence on returning to school. A BIT CARELESS Principal Merrill reports that a number of students have been ad¬judged guilty of carelessness in leav-ing padlocks hanging loose and open, or suspended on locker han¬dle. Daily more than a half dozen lockers are left open ready for pil¬lage in case there may be any dis- i honest sudents or thieving persons from outside of school enter our hallways. Students are again warned that they must lock their lockers and make secure their personal be¬longings. TIME FOR RESOLUTIONS Teachers are earnestly requesting that all students do the very best possible work at school and deserve the good marks which they are eage: to bestow upon the earnest and dilgent. This becomes annually tlr more necessary as many colleges ar refusing to accept any students wh do not have an average of B in a subjects at high school. Again an sort of failure at high school discourages teachers, disappoints par ents, and lowers standards. PLEASANT VISIT The school appreciates a short hup very pleasant visit from President A B. Foulger of the board of education on Wednesday. Presidene Foulger was much impressed by tht size of our crowd as we passes through our crowded hallways. H c was pleased also with the decorunl and earnestness shown by the student body. NEW BAND ROOM The large number of students entering the band this year makes th securing of a larger room imperative. The boys have practiced during the past three days in the gymnasium, but as this must be occupied by the R. O. T. C. during inclement weather, another meetini place must be secured. School authorities are asking Mr. Hale t limit the number of cars enterini the garage for repairs, so that par of the room may be reserved fo band practice. WORLD LEADERS The splendid reception given th French fliers in Salt Lake City las evening reminds us that we are bu following the excellent example sei by France in receiving Colonel Lind¬bergh when he made his historic flight. Surely the French, emotion¬al and tender, lead the world in courtesy. We do well to imitate them in the practice of this grand art. The Dutch were the first to discover the value of tea, and when in 1666 it was first introduced in England, it sold at a very high orice. Ogden High September 29, 1930 The flollowing have been elected senior class officers for the year 1930-31: John Cawley, president; Nathalie Layton, vice president; Doyle Jen¬sen, secretary; George Thatcher, Charles Peterson, Sheldon Winkler and Joe Foley, council members. GIFT OF MINERALS The Salt Lake chamber of com¬merce through Gus Backman, sec¬retary, has volunteered to give Og¬den high school a complete cabinet of Utah minerals providing the school will construct the cabinet. The school has agreed to do this and has expressed thanks for the gift. OUR FIRST GAME Yes, Ogden met defeat at the first football game of the season, but as this was only a practice game we are not deeply concerned about it. Everyone knows that Davis high has an exceptionally strong team and Ogden is grateful for having had the opportunity of meeting these stalwarts. We feel, too, that we made a good showing and are more confident than ever that we are going to have an exceptionally strong team this year. ASSEMBLY TREAT On Friday, last, Mr. Hansen of the music department put on one of the best assembles ever held at the high school. It was in the nature of a musical comedy, or better, perhaps, a musical farce, that kept the stu¬dents roaring with laughter for thir¬ty minutes. It surely is worth while to begin the day with a hearty laugh. The theme of the comedy was "Love Finds a Way." A daughter in love gets to see her lover by inducing him to come to the home as a school girl friend. This girl friend creates no end of merrimet by vamping the irascible father. Glen Judd took the part of the father. Dorothy Knowlton, mother; Yvonne Peirce, daugh¬ter, and Vern Tomlinson, the lover. The musical was prepared in four days, yet was presented in a most UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE Some high school students are finding entrance to the University of Utah just a little more difficult than they expected. They find that they must have an equitable dis¬tribution of credits in the following departments: English, history, sci¬ence, language, mathematics. Of the fifteen units required "twelve must have been pursued in the second, third and fourth years of the high school course." A minimum of credit is allowed in vocational and fine arts courses. EXAMINATIONS RECOMMENDED A writer in a current magazine recommends that all high school students, irrespective of certificate or diploma be required to take a college entrance examination sim- endowed institutions in all the basic subjects of the curriculum. This recommendation is made with a view to limiting college entrance to those who are actually capable of doing college work in a satisfactory manner, and thus avoiding unpleas¬antness of college dismissal later. He cites the fact that not more than 75 per cent of students entering college today are able to carry the work. The dismissal of one student out of every four is not only humiliating to the student so dismissed but is a waste of time and effort of both the college instructors and the student himself. NEW YELL BOOK The Girls' association of the Og¬den high school is issuing this week a new song and yell book for the benefit of all students. The new school song written by Mrs. Blanche MvKey and set to music by Mr. Hansen as sung by the glee clubs at last Friday's assembly, will ap¬pear in the book and will be sung by all students of the school at the assembly this coming Friday. THE COMMITTEE OF EIGHT The committee of eight—the decorum committee—which has for its objectives better order at as-sembles and in hallways, has begun to function effectively as was evi¬denced by our recent assembly. The chairman, David Wangsgard, announced Friday that students who violate any of the necessary rules of good discipline will be required to explain their conduct to the committee which will meet every Friday afternoon during the school year. TIGERS WILL OPPOSE SALT LAKE ELEVEN Warriors Meet South Cache Here Thursday In League Affair OGDEN HIGH footballers will journey to Granite Friday for a practice contest wtih the Granitians, Dixon Kapple, one of the Tiger men¬tors, announces. This will be the second test of the season for the "Orange Streaks." Coach Ernest Simkins is expected to take his entire squad to Granite for this battle. Ogden opens her league schedule one week from Fri¬day at Hyrum against South Cache. At least 20 players of the Tiger squad will make the trip to Salt Lake for Saturday's contest. Students Hear Lader. OGDEN, Oct. 11.—Supt. W. Karl Hopkins addressed the students of Ogden high school at their assem-bly on Friday. He complimented the student body on its excellent beginning in class work, music, athletics and other activties. His plea to the students was for deter¬mination in all their efforts, re-minding them that nothing can be accomplished without exertion. Yell Practice. Following the superintendent's address was a song and yell prac¬tice. Led by Musical Director Glenn Hansen, the students practiced Mrs. McKey's new song, "The Spirit of Ogden High." The yelling was led by Lafe Snyder, who introduced the following candidates for yell mas¬ter: Andrew Brunetti, Bob Rushmer, aJck Carr. Joe Evertson, and Grant Goddard. Each candidate led lone or two yells. |
