Show Sept. 17, 1929 Ogden High School News School News "Well begun is half done." Advisors, teachers and office force are very busy these days, endeavoring to see that all students are properly registered, getting the right subjects and getting started'right are of prime importance to the student in the year's work. These mean success or failure. Many parents have called at the high school to assist in getting sons and daughters properly initiated in- to the work. School officials welcome the visits of parents. These visits show a natural and a wholesome interest. NEW REGISTRATIONS Seventeen additional students registered Monday, bringing the registration to date to 867. COMBINATION LOCKS New Dudley combination locks have been placed on all school lockers at the high school this year. These locks are now used in hundreds of the big high schools and colleges of the country ano are guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction wherever proper precautions are taken. These precautions are: 1- Student must not give combination to anyone. 2-The padlocks must be completely locked at all times. The locks being uniform, present a pleasing appearance and they do away with two very common complaints, "I lost my key." Someone picked my lock and stole my books." POPULAR BRANCHES Typewriting and stenography continue to be very popular branches at the high school, more than 300 students having enrolled in these subjects. NOT APPRECIATED Cooking and sewing evidently are ' not appreciated by the girls of to- 1 day as only a limited number of girls are registering in Oese branches. This is a matter of"sin- cere regret as humanity must still ; be fed and clothes must be made and worn. The girl or woman who can cook and serve a good, nutritious meal and can make a dress, a gown, a shirt, will always be in demand. The world sadly needs good home- makers and we recommend that all 1 girls look more to these useful practical arts. THRIFT EDUCATION High school teachers are advocating the establishing of savings accounts by every student who possibly can. "To earn a little" and "to spend a little less," a slogan of wise old Benjamin Franklin, is still a very good slogan to follow The first deposits of the year were : made in the advisory periods this morning. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Glen Hansen, a boyhood friend of Ralph Peterson, has charge of the music department at the high school this year, and gives evidence early that the department shall live up to the very enviable reputation established last year. The band, the orchestra, and the choruses have begun earnest work and we are assured that we shall hear from them often. THE R. O. T. C. At assembly on Friday last, Colonel Cunningham explained to the students why Ogden high was third instead of first among the honor schools last year. His remarks were both timely and facetious and will assuredly help Ogden to resume her rightful place at the head of the honor schools this year. Coach Kapple also spoke encouragingly of prospects in athletics and we feel confident that Ogden is to write a new story of achievement and Victory in athletics. Sept. 18, 1929 Ogden High School News INTERESTING ADDRESS E. S. Smith gave a most interest- e ing address before the high school teachers Monday evening on the subject, "The Passing of the Recitation." Mr. Smith traced the his- t torical development of the teaching t process, illustrating the prevalent psychological bases upon which the " methods were built at various times, e He explained the fundamental reasons for present procedure in class- room teaching and urged that the student be regarded as the ccnter s of interest in all teaching, "j Mr. Smith pursued several educational courses at the university of I Utah during the past summer, and is consequently qualified to speak 1 with some authority on the tech- nique of teaching. His address was appreciated by the teachers. CONSTITUTION ASSEMBLY The 142nd anniversary of the signing of the constitution was commemorated by a special assembly orf Tuesday. Hon. Joseph Chez was the s speaker and he gave us a most in- teresting talk on the personnel of the constitution signers, and of the ' problems that confronted the men who framed the constitution.

APPRECIATE THE FIELD The students of the high school appreciate the splendid work of the city commission, the chamber of commerce, Superintendent Hopkins ! and others in sodding the Lorin Farr athletic field.

Sept 18, 1927 Ogden High School news THE VALUE OF EDUCATION Education means money. In Massachusetts the average person goes to school seven years; in Tennessee the average person goes to school three j-ears. In Massachusetts the average income is $200 a person; in Tennessee it is $116. In the United States as a whole the average college graduate earns $2000 a year, the average high school graduate $1000, the average elementary school graduate $500. Each day spent in high school is worth $25 to each pupil, each day spent in college $55.55. This is more than the average boy or, girl can earn by leaving school and going to work. Only one in a hundred of our people is a college graduate, yet 36 per cent of every 100 congressmen have been college graduates, while 50 per cent of our presidents, 54 per cent of our vice presidents, 69 per cent of our supreme court judges and 87 per cent of our attorney generals have been college graduates. There is a book called "Who's Who in America." This book contains the names of those persons who are well known because of their good works. The person who can not read and write has one chance in 150,000 to get his name into this book; the grammar school graduate one in 4250; the high school graduate one in 1600; the college graduate one in 180; the honor student in college one in three.

More than 100 students have registered in Latin. German is being offered again this year at the high school and 30 students have registered for it. ENGLISH ESSENTIAL The stress placed upon English by colleges and life has resulted in a decision on the part of school authorities to make four years of English required in all courses beginning with the year 1930. All senior students are being strongly adviseu to add English to their programs this year. YOUR RECORD High school students must consider the fact that their high school record follows them all the days of their lives.

The first team journeys to Provo to play Provo high, the second team to Morgan to test out Morgan's streneth. FOR REGULAR ATTENDANCE High school teachers are making an extra effort this year to assure i more regular attendance than we j have had in the past. It is a patentI fact that no student can do his best work if absent frequently, nor even accosionally. Each absence i means a distinct loss. TODAY'S ASSEMBLY Today's assembly was to consist entirely of music presented by the' music department. The department i has already made an excellent show-, ing under the new instructor, Glen Hansen. The band consists now of( 40 members and is doing fine work, and the orchestra and glee clubs are; also making a fine start.

WATER FIGHT The great annual water fight took place on Lorin Farr park Wednesday afternoon to the delight and amusement of more than a thousand spectators and to the joy anc thrill of the participants. Both sides got thoroughly drenched and probably their enthusiasm will be cooled down for a few days, at least. Itjs jconceded that the juniors ab- sorbed the most water and that consequently the seniors were the victors. . Both classes express appreciation ! to the Ogden fire department for their assistance in helping to make the contest a success. Oct. 1, 1929 Ogden High School News WE SYMPATHIZE Ogden High school students express their sincere sympathy to their classmate, James Maher, in the loss of his father. This is a loss that can never be recovered; one which causes a pain that can hardly be relieved by time. We hope the world will be good to James and will offer some sort of compensation for : this grievous loss. BIOLOGY QUESTIONS Here are half a dozen questions ' that were asked in a biology class today. It might be an interesting exercise for any adult to attempt a clear and definite answer to these questions: j Which is most important,, forming good habits or modifying ' bad habits. Mention one habit you have observed while in this room and explain how you think it has been de- \ veloped. Give some good reason for studying science in the high scohol.-- What is an instinct? Give illustrations to prove tha instincts are not always perfec c adaptations. t What effect will flicker anc ] flare of light have upon the eyes': (Be definite TIGERS TROUNCE PROVO In our first practice game of tha season at Provo last Friday, our . ! squad turned out a 12 to 0 victory over the Provo athletes. The game was a sure proof that the Ogden ; team will be a bigger threat in the j northern division race this year. The Provo team was regional champion of their division last year and is a strong team again this season. Nice i work, men, keep it up. A SERMON Outside of our most enjoyable program in assembly, Friday, the less said about the matter the better. Students, the assemblies are yours. You get out of them just what you put into them, for better or for worse; the better attendance you give the finer programs you will receive. Let's co-operate with Mr. Merrill and the student-body officers, and meet them half way. Here's hoping Mr. Merrill can hear his proverbial pin drop next Friday in assembly. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Les Mayer, Stellae's new high pressure salesman, couldn't sell any subscriptions to the Old Ladies' Aid society last-Thursday. A number of senior girls have recently announced that if asked to sponsor they believe they will accept. (That's a load off our mind, eh, men?) Mrs. Newcomb tells us that she is very happy over the outcome of the choice of names for her second and 'fourth period English clubs. The names are "Smart Set" and "Speakeasy," respectively. SOCIAL CIRCLES The drug store club has disband - ed. Their activities will be resumed as soon as a new permanent meeting place can be found. NEWS CONTRIBUTIONS Remember that little O. H.
