Wednesday we elect­ed two senior members, Parry Ward and Iras Leavitt, and six junior pledges, Elaine Wilcox, Virginia Hyde, Yvonne Peirce, Ruth Greaves, . Mildred Drake and Dorothea Healy. We then selected a date for the ini­tiation party. A little time was taken to dis­cuss our archery-but don't get nervous-we won't shoot anyone. We then adjourned. CHARLENE SCOWCROFT, Reporter. PHI LAMBDA TAU Phi Lambda Tau held its regular weekly meeting Wednesday. One new member, Lucille Wheeler, was voted in .

PARENTS' ATTENTION The attention of all school patrons is called to the fact that Dr. E. E. Erickson of the University of Utah will speak over KSL radio on Sun­day morning, October 27, at 11 o'clock on the subject, "The Sense of Values and Home Education."

SCHOOL CLOSED Ogden high school closed Thurs­day afternoon in response to re­quest of Weber college and Ogden chamber of commerce to give a welcome reception to McKinley (Honolulu) football team. The R. O. T. C. unit and R. O. T. C. ban.&. made a fine showing. We are al­ways proud of them. TEACHER READS Miss Phyllis Stohl, instructor in dramatic art read very pleasingly before the Ogden Kiwanis club on Thursday. j At this meeting Principal Merrill invited the Kiwanians to our game today to see Ogden win and prom­ised to refund the gate money to all Kiwanians if Ogden lost. Under these conditions of course Ogden must win. REPORT CARDS DUE All report cards were to have been signed by parents and returned to advisors today. All students who failed to return cards are delin­quent. WHEN WILL PROHIBITION BE REPEALED? When mothers would rather have drunken sons than sober, and wives drunken than sober husbands; When drunken men and nations are more efficient than sober ones; When passengers would rather ride with drunken than sober engineers, motormen, chauffeurs and airplane pilots; When governments are supported and run alone in the interest of criminals and homes are all dens of vice; When America repeats the fall of Rome and the best of Americans are worse than the worst of the ancient Greeks and Babylonians; When Christianity has decayed, conscience become a myth, and pop­ular government the plaything of the vicious, then the wets can have their way. But undespairing right is omni­potent, because God is.-Dr. Ira Smith. HIGH TAXES In the consideration of high taxes "taxing commissions" and "taxpay­ers' associations" should be remind­ed occasionally of Benjamin Frank­lin's pertinent remarks upon the subject. He said: "The taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are tax­ed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, four times as much by our folly and from these taxes the commissioners can not ease or deliver us by al­lowing an abatement." Oct. 28, 1929 Ogden High School News MARG ANDERSON, Editor Pro-tem Tigers! Rad! Rah! Ogden has seen victory! Last Friday at Lorin Farr park the Ogden Tigers walked over South Cache 31 to 6.

Miss Dorothy Watts was selected as compiling editor of Scrap Book. ATHLETIC REPORT RECEIVED. On Tuesday the high school re- ! ceived the much talked-of Carnegie Foundation report on "American College Athletics." It is a volume I of nearly 400 pages and is, in spots, ! most interesting. We quote just one excerpt from 1 the preface: "The responsibility to ! bring athletics into a sincere rela- i tion to the intellectual life of the ! college rests squarely on the shoul- ! ders of the president and faculty. ! "What ought to be done? 1 "The paid coach, the gate re­ceipts, the special training tables, the costly sweaters and extensive journeys in special Pullman cars, i the recruiting from the high school, the demoralizing publicity showered I on the players, the devotion of an undue proportion of time to train­ing, the devices for putting a de­sirable athlete, but a weak scholar, across the hurdles of the examina- ' tions-these ought to stop and the intercollege and intramural sports be brought back to a stage in which they can be enjoyed by large num­bers of students and where they do not involve an expenditure of time and money wholly at variance with any ideal of honest study." UNIVERSITY FRENCH. Mr. Taggart will have charge of the teaching of university French at night school, in room 205. Ap­parently he hasn't enough work to do in the regular school hours. I am in favor of more periods for the teachers, but it will have to be fig­ured out some way so that we can have two or more "shifts" when it comes to the students. B. Y. U. Word has been received that Delbert V. Groberg, an Ogden High graduate, has been elected editor of the "Friar News." This paper is is­sued monthly, and two hundred copies are distributed at the B. Y. U„ U. of U., Utah A. C., and Weber college. Delbert is setting a fine example and we wish to congratu­late him on his acquirement. ECONOMY. A woman missionary who had just returned from a long stay in ' Turkey-in-Asia was asked by a ladies' society in Buffalo what im­pressed her most on her return to her native land. She replied, "The garbage pails." Mr. Merrill pointed out the waste baskets as the most impressive examples of waste in the Ogden High school. Mr. Merrill may be sure our waste was not in­tentional. We students are often careless and thoughtless, but now that our principal has appealed to us to remedy this fault it is up to every one of us to do our share to forward the success of economy among students.
