Its facets gleaming pure; reflecting brightly rj The work that He had done, and showing Him To be the perfect workman, and that He has Ground and polished such a per­fect gem. And though the process may be far from pleasant. If every corner broken makes more bright 1 My soiil. then I'll reflect in patient waiting The radiant beams of heaven; it is right. WANTED-A SNAKE CHARMER One of our janitors interrupted a" genuine snake dance in one of the lower halls yesterday afternoon. We believe Mr. Smith is responsible for this. We hope he will be able to take better care of his pets from now on. There are still a few of us girls who do not appreciate the art of snake charming. TEA FOR MOTHERS The Girls' association is already : planning its activities for the future under the direction of the entertain­ment committee. Last year the girls were rushed too much the last few days a party or tea was planned. They are try­ing to overcome the confusion by having plenty of time in which to prepare the activities and in which to perform them. The mothers' tea will be the next activity to take place. The tea is given so that mothers may become acquainted with the teachers. BARRIER FALLING Slowly but surely the barrier be­tween student and teacher has been overcome. The teacher no longer represents a strict, grouchy old maid. The teachers are now taking active parts in the work and play of the students. Each English class has a club. The clubs have been organized for the purpose of giving the pupils the op­portunity to deliver speeches on topics that are beneficial not only to themselves but also to their au­dience. The standing program committee of each class assigns the various types of work to be done by the pupils. We need more of this sort of study. We do need the practice of speaking fluently to our fellow men. Who cares to listen to someone who can not speak plainly and to the point? That kind of person is the type that takes the joy out of con­versation. COUNCIL President Stewart called council to order as usual. The roll was called. The minutes were read and correct­ed. The social committee presented a report on the Girls' association party Friday. This report was ac­cepted by a motion. It was moved and seconded that any proxy leav­ing before the council meeting is ad­journed will not be counted as such. The motion was carried. It was moved and seconded that a bonfire rally be held Wednesday night at 7:30. The motion was carried. It was amended and seconded that this : rally will be held with the permis- ' sion of the board of education. The " 1 amendment was carried. It was amended and seconded that only a , pep rally without a snake dance be t held. The amendment was carried. Ben Cartwright suggested a federa­tion of the clubs of the Ogden high j school and presented the purpose for I such a federation. He also asked permission to present this plan to all the clubs for their approval. It was moved and seconded that the committee of which Mr. Cartwright is chairman be allowed to present this idea of a federation of clubs to all clubs in the school. The mo­tion was carried. Council then ad­journed. RADER DEEGAN, Secretary. WHAT IS EDUCATION? The general problem which com­prehends every special problem, is- the right ruling of conduct in all directions under all circumstances. In what way to treat the body; in what way to manage our affairs; in what way to bring up a family; in what way to behave as a citizen; j in what way to utilize all those sources of happiness which nature supplies-how to use all our facul­ties to the greatest advantage of ourselves and others-how to live completely? And this being the ' great thing needful for us to learn, is, by consequence, the great thing which education has to teach. -HERBERT SPENCER. JUDGE PRATT ISSUES DEGREE IN GASE OVER TENNISGROUND Stanleys and City School Heads Say Decision Satisfactory RULES ARE FORMED Strict Regulation Must Be Maintained at O. H. S. Campus Emily C. and W. O. Stanley both won and lost their suit to restrain the city board of education and its members from operating tennis courts at the Ogden High school, under a decree filed this morning by iDstrict Judge Eugene E. Pratt. The decree, in effect, amounts to a sort of compromise. The tennis courts are to continue, but under strict rules of supervision as laid down by the judge. Both parties expressed the decree as satisfactory. The decree is not final and the court reserves jurisdiction. "A ma­terial fact in that adjudication will be the spirit with which the order is carried out,' 'it says. GATE AND PADLOCK It provides further: That on or before November 15 the board shall surround the tennis grounds with wire netting fence, in­stall a gate at the north end and provide a padlock. That the courts shall be open for use daily, except Sunday, from 7:30 in the morning until 8:30 at night, except June, July and August, when the hours shall be 7 in the morn­ing to 8:30 at night. That the board shall raise the backstop between the court and the Stanley property from 18 feet, its present height, to 24 feet, to keep balls from "trespassing." That "there shall be personal su­pervision by a member of the fac­ulty of the high school of all tour­nament play, the purpose being to regulate the necessary rooting and shouting incident to such play." That there shall be at least one contestant in every game who is a member of the high school student body, the faculty, an employe of the board, or who has written consent from the principal of the school to play upon the courts. .That "tennis ball accidentally driven upon the property of the Stanleys shall not be retrieved by the players, but at a convenient and reasonable time, preferably within a week from the time of their entry, shall be returned to the principal of the school for redistribution. Upon notification by the Stanleys the principal of the school shall send for the balls. If it appears by rea- I son of the delay that the plaintiffs are not aware of the presence of the ! ball or balls they may be notified of the fact by telephone or otherwise, and they shall make reasonable ef­fort to find and return them." Judge Pratt also made a sugges­tion that the beauty of the courts could be greatly improved by tear­ing down portions of the present fence and rebuilding it. He also ruled against the building of a solid board fence. LARGE BANNER IS PRESENTED; CADETS STAND AT ATTENTION Patriotic Ceremony Held At High School Building ' CLUB HEAD SPEAKS Women's Federation Makes Gift In Return for Courtesies j While 350 cadets of the junior R. O. T. C. stood at attention this morning on the east lawn of the Ogden High school, representatives of the Ogden City Federation of Women's clubs presented them with a large display flag "because of the kindness and consideration shown us by teachers and pupils alike." The flag was presented by Mrs. ; Georgina Marriott, president of the federation. Other members of the committee present included Mrs. J. G. Falck, chairman of the flag com- mtitee; Mrs. R. O. Tucker, vice pres­ident of the federation; Mrs. George G. Moyes and Mrs. Ezra Richardson On the steps with Mrs. Marriott antf the committee when the flag was presented were Principal A. M. Mer­rill, Vice Principal Gertrude Irwir and Colonel Thomas H. Cunning­ham. The flag was received by Charles Ward, color bearer, and escorted tc the flag pole by John Purdy anc Don McCraley, color guards. whil the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner." TEXT OF THE ADDRESS In presenting the flag Mrs. Mar­riott said: i "We have met [here this morning for the purpose pf giving and re­ceiving a flag, tha living emblem oi this great nation pf ours. "Our national eanblem as we set it is the result of growth of thought and ideals on the'.part of the peo­ples of our country\ The nation had its birth in tribulation. As George Washington accepted the leadership of thirteen colonies \to free them­selves from the union of Great Brit­ain we find his flag contained the union of the English flag-the com­pound cross of red and white in a tfield of blue-the colonies still rec- ognized the sovereignty of England. "Our flag was born on June 14, 1777, when the continental congress in Philadelphia adopted the reso­lution that there should be thirteen stripes alternate red and white and a union of thirteen stars on a field of blue, representing a new con­stellation. Those were the days when each of thirteen colonies was jealously guarding the rights and, prestige of itself. "With the addition of Vermont and Kentucky in 1779, a new law was enacted May 1, 1795, giving the flag thirteen stripes and fifteen stars. On some flags the stars were i staggered and on some they were arranged rectangular. This flag is the one which flew over Fort Mc- Henry. Maryland, and inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner," by Francis Key Scott. NEW FLAG LAW "And still the nation grew and five more states were to be added. It then became necessary to enact a new flag law which was elastic enough to take care of future growth. This was done April 4, 1818. "The thirteen colonies received the distinction of being represented by thirteen stripes of alternate red and white, and the field of blue wad to have a star added for the ad­mission of each new state. This was to be added on the succeeding Fourth of July following the admis-j sion. "We now have 48 stars and 13 stripes in the flag of the nation which blazed the trail of liberty and freedom of mankind. "George Washington described the flag by saying, 'We take the star from heaven, the red from the mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to pos­terity representing liberty.' "The blue in our flag stands for loyalty; the red for courage that in­spired us to do what is right. It; most often takes more courage to take a stand for right rather than slide along with the tide. "As early as 1812 the flag had flown over a schooilious?, today we have; a state law requiring that each school shall have a flag and dis­play it during the daylight hours of every legal holiday and flag day of each year. AS MEETING PLACE "In presenting this large display1 flag to the high school of Ogden, the Federated Women's clubs are doing so because of the kindness and consideration shown us by the teachers and pupils alike. For years our meeting place has been here, often a distinct disadvantage to yourselves but kindly consideration has always been accorded us. We ap­preciate this. with us but 14 are federated and it withus but 14 are federated and it; is from this group the gift comes.": "Mr. Merrill and students, as a representative of these federated clubs it is my great pleasure to pre­sent to you this beautiful flag. May it be cared foi properly, its eti-i quette followed out and its dignityj preserved. May it be raised and; lowered in accordance with the flag j laws of our nation. We love our flag." PURPOSES OF HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS SHOWN IN STATEMENT Gertrude C. Irwin Prepares Paper For Southern University STRICT SUPERVISION Names of Organizations And Their Work Set Forth Gertrude C. Irwin, vice principal, has prepared a paper, "Student Ac­tivities in Ogden Senior High School," for the University of North Carolina as part of a national study project. It is published today at the request of the high school in or­der that parents may learn how the clubs are operated and what are their purposes. The paper reads: "Our high school is a senior high with the eleventh and twelfth grades. We have an enrollment of 900. Our student activities are un­der the direction of student officers and a student council, with two faculty advisors and a faculty treas­urer. The council is composed of student officers, president, vice president secretary, managers of athletics, school year book, quarter­ly, and daily, officers and four elected members of each class, and the presidents of recognized clubs, a total of thirty-five members. We have a student body fee of three or five dollars which includes the year book (on the five dollar ticket), league football and basketball games, two parties, the school opera, the school play, and copies of the school papers. Since we must hire a hall for all school parties and for our play and opera, this takes careful management. In addition to the school parties which are free to stu­dents ( a get-acquainted, and a fare­well to seniors, on commencement night) five others are scheduled by the student body and sponsored by some organization of the school, the junior class, the senior class, the Girls' association, the R. O. T. C., and the Associated clubs. Ev­ery activity is advised by a faculty member, usually two, and the or­ganization sponsoring the activity must receive permission from the council and must give a detailed report, financial and social, of the activity. This report is prepared by the student in charge and signed by the faculty advisor and school trsssurer "I cannot speak too highly of the reaction of students to these re­sponsibilities. The expenses of school plays, operas, cantatas, and of programs, decorations, etc., for school parties have materially de­creased, while these activities have at the same time developed in artis­tic worth. "We have fourteen recognized clubs in high school exclusive of the Glee club and the Girls' association. These represent a membership of 180 students, leaving out all duplica­tion. The organization of the Girls' association, with its varied commit­tees, secretaries for each room, and universal membership for girls, brings into our activities the major­ity of our girls in some way. The following is a copy of the regulations for clubs adopted by our school council: CLUB REGULATIONS "1. To be considered a school club, every organization's constitu­tion must be approved by the school council. A roster of club officers and members and the club (meet­ing) must be registered with the club committee or council advisor. "2. No student may belong to more than two clubs. No student who is carrying less than the re­quired course or who is making less than recommending grades in any subject may belong to more than one club. "No student is eligible to be pledged to another club who is a member of two clubs or who is de­linquent ha scholarship. "Each club is required to make term report on its membership to the club committee. Members delin­quent in scholarship for two terms must be dropped. "3. No club may call a meeting in regular council meeting time. "4. Clubs must be organized with a purpose consistent with school activities. Their social activities shall be limited to one a month. The student body occupies the field for social affairs open to all students and clubs should lend their whole support toward making them worth while and successful. All social ac­tivities must be registered with the social committee or a council advis­or and the council reserves the right to adjust conflicts. "5. Clubs must ask permission of the council before entering upon any activity to earn money or re­quiring ticket sale. "6. All club funds must be de­posited with the school treasurer, who shall act as banker. The money may be drawn out at any time by those so authorized to do so. "7. The president of the club shall be a member of student body council; if the president represents another organization in council, the vice president shall represent the club. ! "8. No student shall be pledged to or initiated into or voted upon by a club until after the first six weeks of the fall term of the school year. No graduating senior shall be taken into a club in the second semester of the school year. "9. Club initiations must reflect the ideals and purposes of the club. "10. Faculty advisors of clubs shall meet monthly to discuss and promote the welfare of school clubs. "The clubs are : GIRLS' ASSO­CIATION, including all girls; aims: (a) to promote a spirit of friendli­ness and service among the girls, healthful activities and a knowledge of vocations open to girls; (b) to bring the mothers of students in closer contact with school activities, and (c) to serve the school in a so­cial and cultural way. Outstanding activities are: entertainment of the school mothers at least twice a year, get-acquainted parties for girls, in­structive talks on social contacts, vocations, etc.; tennis tournaments, basketball and swimming meets are sponsored correlating with physica1 education classes; art exhibits arranged for two or more tf-- during the year and funds are r?
