McKey, one of our English ] ' recently had published in ' d af Society magazine a very j1 poem entitled, "Young f ." It follows: &J YOUNG DEATH JfTwhen roses nod, I see your wait- f ing face, Dawn, tinted, smile above the hedge row fair, I close my eyes and feel that you are there— And then, All the beauty of the Junetime Your smile rare , I feel again' Again! When stately lilies left their frail lips pale. I see the pallor of your rounded cheek. I close my eyes and see you, lily- fair, And cannot speak; And then— All the beauty and the glory that the hearts seek I feel again— The rise and fall or hasing prayer, The heavy flower-laden air— I breath "Amen" Again! When winter stars look down on snow wrapped fields, .. i I think of tender hopes that young hearts fed— So flaming bright they quicken what seems dead; And then— In spite of lilies breath I know you are not dead. You live, I live, and No Man's Land between Though Tears spring green; There is but one word that my heart regrets And sings again: "When?" Roses! Lilies! Starlight! "When?" gden High School News Violet Stanford, Editor Pro-Tem. RADIO NEWS. Every year has its objective, but the one this year tops them all. We're going to have a radio! And not only that, but there will be in¬stalled in each room a loud speaker. Mr. Merrill announces that we're going to have the best make we can possibly get, and he means it. The best part of all this is the fact that Mr, Merrill will be able to sit calmly at his desk in the office and talk to every room from there. The only thing we hope is that the school will not get so modernized that assemblies will be done away with. GIRLS' CREED. The Girls' association is trying to further the ideals of the girls in this school by offering prizes for the three best papers on a girls' creed. Girls, get behind this move¬ment and push it ahead so that the contest will be a success. NOVEMBER TWENTY-SECOND. He: "Have you heard the great news?" She: "Do you mean the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming?" He: (exasperated). "Better than that!" She: "Oh, you mean the gala af¬fair, November twenty-second, at the Berthana." He (sighing): "Certainly, a Thanksgiving dance—and it's super¬vised by the Ogden High school junior class." She: "I wish I could go. There's sure to be lots of fun." He: "Er-er-a-will you go with me?" She: "Foolish questions, I'd walk a mile to go to a junior dance— and especially with you!" —Doyle Jensen. . BREATH OF MORNING. "Breath of Morning," the lovely painting by the California artist, Puthoff, hangs in Miss Chesney's room.

Towering above the trees, a purple-hued mountain prac-tically encircles the little valley, rather than stand away in aloof and distant majesty. The first rays of the sun caress the rugged peak, softening its outlines, lighting up the little patches of red and yellow on its sides. A road stretches through the grove, enticing the eye to the beauties beyond, while over-head, the blue sky holds promise of the coming day. —Helen McKay. SCHOOL PLAY! Collegiate, collegiate, yes, we are collegiate. The sounds, or some¬thing similar, have been floating from the auditorium for some time.

S.—You needn't apply because Phi Lambda's was absolutely the best ever. "It can't be beat." And— it isn't over yet.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS , We think it was Shakespeare who said, "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast," or something to that effect. This being more or less true, we have an idea that sweet j s music in every classroom during our noon period will go a long way to- ' ward solving the very annoying "Noon Noise Problem." ADLUMNI MEMBERS IJ Mrs. Edward Welch, formerly Genevieve Madsen announces the arrival Sunday of a future Ogden High school queen. If Miss Welch follows in the footsteps of her moth- 1 er, in 18 years she will be wearing , ! one of those distinguished sponsor ' j uniforms and also wear the crown on the eve of the Classicalia.

The picture is a silhouette depicting a band of Indians returning at night with a captive white man. We can not de- . cipher their faces, but the attitudes are expressive; the Indians aregrim- i ly triumphant, the captive is calm- . ly stoical. Looking at it one feels ; a thrill of apprehension for what i awaits the white man, and yet one has a feeling that whatever his fate, he will .meet it unflinchingly. —Randall Barker. HALL OF FAME Marian Terry—Because Frank's . bass voice made a wonderful impres¬sion. Are we jealous? j Virginia Hyde—Because she and . Henry Aiken disagree on the subject j of long skirts for girls. Perry Ward—Because she is a f hopeful soul and thinks B company jvill win the cup since Henry is captain. Because we wish we knew the i boy friend in the east.

The boys in the school seem rather timid about asking the girls to go with them. I think if we had „ more dances where everybody went stag we would all enjoy ourselves a n j great deal more. Of course everyone knows that you can have a better n time when you have a partner, but
