Beeson gathered at the Hotel Bigelow Wednesday night and told the Mathematics teacher who is retiring after 25 years as a member of the Ogden High school faculty how much they valued his friendship, his tetruqjtlon and upstanding qualities.

Besides being principal he I had to teach 15 hours and keep his own records. When windows were broken by basketball players in a storeroom rented for athletic purpotes. he had to pay the $50 glaziers' repair bill. Dr. Thomas said any I teacher who has 25 years of splendid service to his credit deserves rec- I ogaition, but he also emphasized I that the teacher himself is well rewarded by reason of the satisfaction the teacher can take in his own work. HIGH SCHOOL GROWTH A. C. Matheson, assistant state superintendent of public instruction, laid that "Dad" Beeson's service in Ogden High school marked a period In which high school education ceased to be the privilege of the few to become the opportunity of the many. There were only about 2000 high school students in Utah 25 years ago while today where are 30,000, he said. Wade M. Johnson, who was a high school student when Dr. Thomas was principal, spoke in behalf of the former board members of which he was one. John M. Mills, under whose ad¬ministration as school superintend¬ent Mr. Beeson served as principal of the high school, recalled the high regard in which Mr. Beeson was held by teachers, students and parents.

BEESON, honored guest at a testimonial dinner given by the board of education in appreciation of his 25 years of service as a member of the Ogden High school faculty. board of education's testimonial dinner, spoke in behalf of the pres¬ent board on which he is a veteran member. Mrs. Florence Newcomb, repre¬senting the high school faculty, paid warm tribute to the retiring teacher's friendliness, ability as principal and teacher, his neighbor¬ly qualities and love of home and family. Darrell J. Greenwell spoke in be¬half of "Dad's" earliest students in Ogden and Bob Kimball, a member of the class of 1931, eloquently de¬scribed the love the present stu¬dents have for the retiring teacher. TRIBUTE FROM PRINCIPAL Then followed an appreciation by A. M. Merrill, principal of the high school, and more warm words from W. Karl Hopkins, city superintend¬ent. To A. B. Foulger, a member of the board, fell the honor of presenting the "award" to "Dad" Beeson and the presentation was gracefully made. Mr. Beeson responded by express¬ing his great Pleasure over the testimonial accorded him. "I have heard so many good things said about me that I might begin to be¬lieve them, myself," he said. He said that Ogden had been a mighty pleasant home to him, he had great¬ly enjoyed his work in Ogden High school and felt he never could re¬main long away from Ogden. "When 'I go away from here," he said, "I shall always buy a round-trip tick- The original poem written and read by Blanche Kendall McKey, en¬titled "Dad," was one feature of the program.

For some this means just one more year of study before graduation, but for others it means I the rapid approach of the crossroads of life. The time is not far | off when you must decide whether jou will go on through another four years of study, preparing yourself for your life's work, or whether vou are now fully equipped to enter the business world. It is to be hoped that every graduating senior will have the desire and the opportunity to continue his studies so as to give himself a greater chance for suc¬cess after he leaves school. YEARBOOKS RECEIVED Wednesday seventh period we were all greatly delighted to receive our yearbooks. They are truly a work of art, with their beautiful black cover with the orange Indian head. The Indian idea has been carried throughout, even to the nicknames of the seniors. Everyone is pleased with this marvelous book and we wish to express our appreciation and thanks to its editors, staff, and advisors, who have done such wonderful work on this souvenir of a happy year spent at Ogden High school. PARENTS' DAY Many parents were able to attend our exhibit today. It was the best in the history of Ogden High school and showed much thought and ef¬fort on the part of the students. We were very glad to see all of the par¬ents who came and wish that many more had been able to come. The students have been striving very hard on these projects which rep¬resent the work that has been progressing all year. We hope the parents noticed the dilapidated con¬dition of our building, and will do all they can so that maybe next year or the year after we will have a new one in which to show our ex¬hibits. To those parents who did not come this afternoon, we extend a cordial invitation to attend our fashion review and dance exhibit at 8 o'clock this evening. CHATTER AND CHAFF Have you noticed a couple of gen¬erally sober seniors going around with a perpetual grin on their faces? It's because graduation day will soon be upon us and they are among the fortunate ones who will be re¬ceiving diplomas. Some very prominent male citi¬zens, and female too, seem to think the newly painted note-box is the proper spot to place their imposing signatures. Mr. Stewart's new theme song for the third period is, "Where Have You Been?" We nominate to the Hall of Fame Jim Riley, because he still Moose." We agree with Ed Aiken in that Charles Peterson belongs to the "Borough" family. Oertel wonders what to call a person like Clyde Hunter, who, after being talked to for five minutes, looks innocently up and says, ''Ma-a-m?" If Ruth Greaves, is Florence Gay? When Alice's work is Dunn, does Virginia Hunter some more? REFLECTIONS OF AN INITIATE Alone I sit in meditation, Dreading with anticipation, My all-too-soon participation In Carpe Diem's initiation. O terrifying contemplations, Horror-reeking revelations, Cease thou thy awful visitations, And calm my frenzied animation. O let me smile with contemplation To a time when I, in exultation, Join in the Seniors' exclamation, "Bring on the next initiation!" —A Late Carpe Diem Pledge. LOST PIN Attention students! A silver pin, won in bookkeeping, has recently been lost in the lobby of our school. As this pin stands for a lot of study and hard work and would be almost valueless to the finder, it would be deeply appreciated if it were kindly returned to the office. Thank you! SAM PEPYS' REINCARNATION Up, betimes, and to school. Thence to an meeting of the great council of the school. But Marry! I am greatly awed. Anon I do see the Council Members marching into the Chamber with their great robes and their long faces. Methinks it is in¬deed an great body. Perforce, I do quake mightily but the good members do let me stay wherefore I am very grateful. Anon, the Right Honorable Mr. Corry does call the meeting to order with an great gavel with which he poundeth for an pretty spell before they do hear him which maketh him might¬ily wroth. An good member doth bring up the matter of some ten¬nis court which he doth wish might¬ily to be in existence. Whereupon the president sayeth that an committee must be appointed to see j certain people who must give their consent. An committee is appoint¬ed. Thereupon the trouble is that the committee does refuse to serve which is indeed an terrible problem. Anon, they do discuss divers prob¬lems which they discuss with most knowingness and fluency, but they do after a time tire of the sport, j whereupon someone doth motion that the meeting adjourn. The mo¬tion is unanimously passed which methinks is very good indeed. — Charles Wood. STUDENTS AT OGDEN RECEIVE ANNUAL AWARDS Jack Hilton Is Presented!

OGDEN IN NEED OF HIGH SCHOOL, MULCAHY SAYS Service Clubs Should Take Up Matter At Once, He Suggests "The service club which has the courage to say we want as good fa¬cilities for the education of our children as we have provided for the care of our livestock, will justify its existence for all time to come," de¬clared P. H. Mulcahy, general man¬ager of the Utah Idaho Central Railroad company, in an address at the weekly meeting of the Lions' club in the Hotel Bigelow this noon. Mr. Mulcahy made an urgent ap¬peal to service clubs of Ogden to make a united and determined stand for the provision of a new senior high school, to replace the present structure which he declar¬ed to be such as to make all Ogden citizens "hide their heads in shame." The speaker called attention to the community support which had; given Ogden a fine airport, livestock coliseum and athletic stadium and intimated that the same* splendid . community effort and support could give to Ogden the high school build¬ing which is so urgently needed. Mr. Mulcahry said that service clubs claim they are willing to do something for their community but they don't know what to do. He pointed out that the building of a new high school for Ogden is a com
