THE ASSEMBLY "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," we are told. Did you miss the assembly Friday? The various business men who were asked to speak here were either already en¬gaged or out of town, so Herbert 1 was unable to present one. How- \ ever, we won't be disappointed jj again.

March for the Roman god, Mars. The origin of April is uncertain, i ay is named for a mythical character, Maia, sup- T posed to have been the daughter of For Atlas. June probably for the God- call dess Juno, though possibly for the par Roman family, Junius. July for was Julius Caesar, who was born in that nev anu iutmea ic alter nimself. August for his nephew, the Emper- j or Augustus. September, October,! November and December (formed by adding "ber" to the Roman nu¬merals septem, octo, novem, and decern) means "seventh," "eighth," "ninth" and "tenth," respectively, because they held those places in the old Roman year, which began with March.

INTERESTING NEWS The most interesting news of the week is that the Rotary club has discovered that Ogden needs a new Senior High school, in fact that it is now "the most imperative need of Ogden at this time." This news was brought to the attention of the pub¬lic by an announcement that a committee of the club headed by Charles Empey met with the board of education last Friday evening and announced that the securing of ! such a school is to be the main project of the club during the com- J ing year. Congratulations an- \ thanks, Rotary; you're on the rigl? I track. WHAT IS WEALTH? Oliver G. of the Ogden State bank, gave a talk Friday to Mr Abplanalp's economics class on "What Is Werlth?" It will be interesting to know that Mr. Ellis was cen for the very first basketball team the Ogden High ever hau. He says he is lucky to be here because the members of that team were, you might say, be¬witched. One guard was an aviator and was killed in the war. A for¬ward was also an aviat-r, and be crashed. Tne other cuard fell down' the elevator shaft of the Globe mills and was killed. Now only four- are left of . "first team" of seven members. Out of his talk, we learned that wealth is not money alone, al¬though money is one lorm of wealth. TAU ETE NU To the gentle tap of President Forsha's gavel, Tau iSte Nu was called to order on November 15. A party to initi: ';e the new members was planned for Friday night. A new senior member, Evelyn Upton, . j was elected to the club. Our new . i pledges are Florence Browning, May , I Eckersley, Doris Reardon and I Norine Brishol. —Joe Gale. I ] STENOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT It has been said that by the time i the commercial students of Ogden High are ready for a position, the positions will all be taken by for¬mer graduates. This is not so. It doesn't make any difference how many stenographers there are, there is always a vacant place for a real stenographer. Miss Stephenson's second year classes are climbing right along. Last term the rate of dictation was seventy words a minute, but this term it has raised to eighty words. If we climb this far every term we will be writing at the rate of 120 words per minute when school closes in the spring. I am sure that we are all look¬ing forward to the time when we will be able to write at this speed. The first year classes are getting the fundametnals no wand we are also expecting some big things from j them when they get into the busi- ness world. —Mnna. Forsha.

You who have seen some of the plays in the past will understand how hard it is going to be to come out ahead, but just watch the "Poor Nut's" Dust. THANKSGIVING DANCE Are you still wondering what the excitement is all about? Well, we'll tell you if you promise to tell ev-eryone else. The Juniors are spon¬soring a Thanksgiving dance on November 27 at the Berthana. Even though this dance is under the di¬rection of the Juniors we want all the Seniors to show up, not only to patronize the dance but to be shown what a good time is. We are mak¬ing no class distinction so let's all push and make this dance a never- to-be-forgotten one, shall we? — Marian Ensign. SOCIAL SERVICE COMMITTEE The Social Service Committee en¬deavors to serve the girls and make school life happier and more friend¬ly. When a girl is ill or is detained at home on account of illness, we i endeavor to pay her a visit, send a letter of sympaty or send flowers. This Christmas we are sponsoring a Christmas project. The purpose of this project is to have each ad¬visory class prepare a Christmas box for the poor. Miss Hubbard acts as advisor for this committee.—June Tribe. THEN AND NOW Then refers to about 1890; now is 1929. Few realize the tremendous changes that have taken place in secondary education during the past forty years. In the next few days we propose offering a few compar¬isons on the subject. Attendance 1890: Attended by the intellectual and social elite—a homogeneous student body with parents in a preferred ec¬onomic, vocational and social posi¬tion. Attendance 1929: Attended by all the children of all the people—a hetrogeneous student body drawn from every group in the community, with corresponding di¬versity of background, capacity and future prospect. . One aonoTneedmuch imagin¬ation to sense what problems that simple matter of attendance has evolved in high school administra- tion, in high school aims, and high I school courses of study. OBJECTIVE FOR THE YEAR At faculty meeting on Monday the subject of a radio and public address system for the Ogden High school was considered pro and con—mostly pro. The teachers were enthusias¬tic about the idea and definitely de¬cided to make the securing of such equipment the one big objective of the year. It was decided to give programs, games, athletic bouts, the¬atricals, dances and "what have you," for the purpose of securing the necessary funds. The plan was considered in all advisory classes the following morning and received the ; hearty endorsement of all students. The word seems to be "Come on, let's go—let's get a radio." HALL OF FAME Rowland Corry, because his idea of a real guy is a Scotchman who went to Niagara Falls alone on his honeymoon because his bride had seen it. Because he thinks a football coach has four wheels. Because he believes a friend in need generally needs too much. Phyllis Fredrickson because her hands are so heavy she's always ask¬ing someone to hold them. Because she likes to express her¬self with exclamation points! i Because she believes that collie flowers (cauliflowers) are nephews of dog-violets. And Dorothy Watts because she's a scrap collector. Because she wants her own name in the collection. Because she doesn't mind being called "High Voltage." —Maurine Israelson. i These pretty young girls are sponsors of the R. O. T.
