We have seven weeks of work yet and we hope it will be the best work of the year. We shall have some i necessary interruptions. i \ This is tree planting, shrub plant- ' a ing, flower planting week; also gen- s eral repair, painting, and home r cleanup week. t We shall probably be asked to give j report a little later of the work each f has done to improve home surround- t ings during the month of April. s Thursday, May 1, is boys' loyalty c parade day. This year every boy t and every girl in the Ogden city s schools, second to twelfth grades, r inclusive, will be asked to march in ] the parade. The parade will be in the morning and junior track meet¬ing in the afternoon. There will be ] no school that day. On Friday, May 2, those seniors i who wish to go to Logan for A. C. ( day will be excused. Give your i names to advisors. On Friday, May 9, other seniors who wish to go to Salt Lake will be 5 excused. No .juniors will be excused either May 2 or May 9 and any i senior may be retained on either day if work is not complete. j Sunday, May 24, a commencement t sermon will be given to graduating j class at Orpheum theatre. At the ; same place on Thursday, May 29, 1 10 a. m., the graduating exercises i will be held. ; A. M. MERRILL, Principal, i IN SYMPATHY The student body and faculty of the Ogden high wish to express their ( sincerest sympathy to Dorothy Watts and the family who are in the ; depths of grief because of the re- 1 cent death of Dorothy's father, ; George Watts. ; TRIANGULAR MEET With two events of track past, the ( Ogden Tigers have indeed made a fine showing. The Ogden boys were j in excellent form Friday, and with ( first, second and several minor places in their favor have an achievement to be proud of. The third track event will be held in Kaysville on Thursday. This is the triangular feature, the principals of the triangle being Ogden, Weber j and Davis. Coaches Kapple, Thorne and Craft are putting their teams in this contest with absolute con¬fidence that the tri-team affair will be an attraction of the track season. We hope so, and we are sure the boys will show the best they have.

INSPECTION With the day of the annual in¬spection nearer and nearer, the ca¬dets are tightening up more and more. The absentees are becoming fewer and the drilling is becoming smoother. By May 1 the best unit in the United States will be drilling at top form. The cadet officers of this yedr are as fine a group as ever rode on the heels of the non- coms. The sponsors are absolutely the best that could be obtained any-where. "We are proud of our drill unit. May a continued spirit of good will and brotherhood go with it. Aft- er all, it is spirit and fellowship that Y accomplishes things. o LEWIS-WASHINGTON HOP On Friday the companies of Lewis and Washington Junior High schools , will give their annual cadet hop. It promises to be a fine party and the ' entire corps is urged to attend and J to help the junior companies to feel 1 their part in the winning of the top position in the Ninth corps area. J ANNOUNCEMENTS j Seniors, if you are planning to . send announcements don't fail to ] put your order in now. If you do ] so at the present time your order \ will be filled immediately and you will not be left out. If you wish to i send them, give your order to one of the committee who is taking orders, : Jack Rowse, Perry Warde, Doc Stone or Jack Reeves. They will send your order in and you will get your announcements in the near fu¬ture. ' LEWIS CONTEST Students, don't forget the Lewis,1 oratorical contest which will be held in the very near future, probably j within the next two weeks. Prizes are being offered for both first and : second place winners. Ogden High must win both places. Aside from ! the intrinsic value of the contest, 1 you will gain invaluable experience : from writing and delivering an ora- : tion. Don't fail to memorize your 1 speeches as they must be flawless in 1 delivery. Here is a splendid oppor- 1 tunity to do something for your ' school as well as to develop your own mental and intellectual abilities. 1 Let's have a big entry lsit. S AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Can you answer the following: Why does not the radio get turned on once in a while? We have only heard it about five times. Was this a good investment of approximately $1000? Why cannot the seniors be admitted free to the junior prom? We are not Scotch, but it won't hurt to take a little money out of the school treasury to make up the def¬icit if there is one. By doing this there would be, of course, a protest from certain people that this money should be applied on the radio. Why should we pay for it all this year? Give the students of next year something to do that will help the school. OSCAR. Dear Oscar: In the matter of the radio, you can understand when you realize that the end of school is nearly here and there is little time for anything other than lessons. Aside from this fact the programs are given to the students whenever they are worth while enough to merit the attention, of the whole student body. As__a whole, the radio has been turned on once a week until lately, when Mr. Damrosch ceased givin his con¬certs for the summer. More than one program a week seems to me too much and one a week enough when the programs are good. Many of the study groups have the radio for part of the time, at the direction of the teacher. Any room may have it at any time on request. Seniors cannot be admitted free to the prom this year, it is true. There is a feeling that the seniors 1 should pay as vell as anyone else. This was the expression of the sen¬iors themselves in their vote last week. It seems to me that in any event the small deficit would be no obstacle to admitting the seniors free. It is their own attitude that has changed the policy. The pairing of seniors has proved to be a worn- out custom. When they ceased to come as a class the whole affair was changed. The few dollars it would take to make up the difference would amount to very little. Anoth- t er thing, don't think this year's ; class has paid for the radio. It is being paid out of a fund that has been made up from years back and bygone student bodies. Perhaps ten classes will have a share in the pay¬ing of it, not one class, j AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF. The boys will have to begin dig- ging down in their pockets for the prom. If some girls are a judge they will dig quite a ways. We're sorry there weren't any 1 notes on Monday. They were de- layed in transmission and did not 1 reach The Standard-Examiner until 1 late in the day. Carpe Diem is pondering about sj :iow much sleep they can catch up K m Saturday night. We'll bet Marge jets a nightmare and we wonder if Charlene doesn't snore just a little bit. v Chuck says that it is a funny 0 thing to her why they don't turn q the school inside out since it is so a much prettier on the inside than on g the outside. e E. S. Smith is a hard master. He c certainly pulls some of the stiffest c things in the line of tests that we c have yet seen. Wow! We're not E over them yet. He must stayjin.j nights planning how he can torture 1 p his darlings, especially Bobby Pingree. Dad Beeson has been laid up with t a cold and general attack of spring a fever. We missed his smile and s friendly ways on Monday. y v EXHIBIT DAY. Very few parents are kept in touch with what their children are doing in school, yet all are anxious j to know. We try to crowd into one day the work that will demonstrate j and show to the parents of Ogden High students exactly the .sort of j- work we are doing. This day is set aside as Parents' day or Exhibit t day, and the students each have a j sample of their work on display. As this exhibit is to be an abbreviated e summary of the year's work each and every student should take it upon himself to make his or her \ project the best possible. Another r thing, we should try to get our proj- c ects in on time so as to prevent t confusion and extra work for the teachers. So come on, students, and i get your best project and what is more get it on time. Let's make this c one day the best day of the year, j even to behavior. NEW TROPHY. The trophy case of Ogden High will soon have a new addition to the already large collection. The J large gold and silver loving cup i which Ogden High's commercial J team won recently has arrived, and , is gracefully adorning Mr. Farnsworth's desk where eVery fond eye i might see it. This cup remained 1 with Richfield High for two con- t secutive years, but three years are i required for permanent ownership, i This is the first time Ogden has had c possession of it, and if possible we 1 intend to make it a permanent member of the trophy case. Also 1 the blue and white pennant won by the advanced team will be adorned by the names of the three students who composed the team, Ida Mae McGregor, Thora Nelson and Lois Robinson. The names will be in f white and the banner will remain ' m the tvmner room. Ogden High School News Apr. 17, 1930 Difficulties are things that show what men are.—Epictetus. OPERA Students, don't forget the date of the opera which will be held the i first and second of May. It is need-less to tell you again of its merits. Don't fail to see its fine acting and hear its tuneful melodies. Your student body tickets will be good for general admission and the select seats will cost a bit more. Let's have the entire student body to see Mr. Hansen's biggest venture this year and a worthy successor to "Sweethearts." This year"s is just as sweet. The cast labors night and day for its perfection; consequent¬ly it is the duty and the privilege of all of us to make it worth while from a popular standpoint. FORUM ASSEMBLY On Friday, students, you will re¬ceive the gala assembly of the most astute group of scholars in the school. Forum gives an assembly once a year. You can't afford to miss it, so even if you're in a bad way physically, get out of bed and come to see the Forumites show us their entertaining ability, which they assure you is quite considerable. Forum is a club of considerable worth and their only attempt at a student body activity is their assem¬bly. Such relics at Beech McConnell, Shrimp Bramwell and Bennie Cartwright will give us their ver¬ sion of the modernized College Humor. WE'LL GET BLOCK O'S With the award day rapidly ad¬vancing there is considerable amount of interest in the coveted block O's. Who will get them? There is a miximum of ten to be given away and usually it is reduced to seven or eight of the most outstanding stu¬dents, including every line of en¬deavor. Ttiore are a large number of students who will be up for con¬siderable looking over before the fl final judging is done. Student body presidents, athletes, musicians, ed¬itors, artists, yell leaders, leaders in oratory and debating all may win the much prized medal, the only award of any sort that O. H. S. be¬stows on her favored sons. Send in your suggestions and your ideas of who you think has done most for the school. The Notes will gladly put your views in print. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: It has seemed to me that O. H. S. has still a lot to learn. As I come to school in the morning I invaria¬bly notice the lack of respect shown while the colors are being raised in the morning. I believe it is abso-lute ignorance of the facts but I also believe that ignorance could be eradicated and changed. I wish you would inform the students as a whole the obligation they owe their flag while it is being raised in the morning, with the bugle playing. I can't tell you how much it means to me. A STUDENT. Dear Student: I am proud that there is one stu¬dent in O. H. S. who has enough pride in his country and in his flag to notice what is absolutely disre¬spect, whether it is intentional or not. I agree with you that students as a whole, not just the R. O. T. C., should know and execute the proper salute to the flag while it is being raised to the staff in the morning. Men in uniform face the flag, no matter where they are or what they are doing, and salute. Civilians un- 1 cover if wearing a hat and hold it across their breast. If they have no hat they stand at attention facing the flag while the colors are being raised and while the bugle is sound¬ing off. I certainly wish the stu¬dents would take heed of your letter, Mr. Student, arid help to make our school the best informed, the best learned, and the best all-around school in any city anywhere. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF Yesterday's storm reminded us of Virginia Hyde's and Perry Warde's favorite melody, "Singing in the ?????" " It will be a treat when the year book comes out to find some of our j students' aims in life. One girl, ap- jparently in her right senses, said jjier aim in life or hobby is Dave Wangsgaard. Dave, we're coming in I and take lessons. When the questionnaire about what magazine do you read came around the other day Grant Morse put down that his favorite author was the editor of the Notes, his next favorite the two assistant editors, (when they wrote), and next the3 various club reporters, all of whose i liteiary merits were of course ad¬mitted. Theme song of more than one of our celebrities about school: "Sweet- ' heart, We Need Each Other." Carpe Diem and We 13 seem to be running ir competition to see how ' much will power the members of ! each club have. FORUM Forum's debating activities have I assumed a sudden importance. Two contests have been arranged with ' Box Elder High school and Congress. The members who will de¬bate with Congress are John Cow-ley and Durnell Richards; Dee Bramwell and Preston Mulcahy. Congress, beware! Grant Morse and t Ben Cartwright, George Thatcher and Ellis Gragun have been chosen y to debate Box Elder. Good luck, o you may need it. j Don't forget the big Forum as- 3 sembly Friday. It will be the most s original, stupendous, hilarious pres- y entation ever given in the O. H. S. We assure everyone (including e teachers) more than one hearty a laugh. D. J. JOIE FRANCAISE Bon jour! Once again you hetffl from Joie Francaise. Meeting was]] called to order by President Favero 1 and the meeting then started offH with a bang! Old and new business j was discussed, and then we enjoyedI an interesting talk on French habits h and customs by Bernice Hall. And! —we must say some of their ideasfe are very old indeed. We took in one 9 lucky junior. Who? Miriam Peterson —and—we offer you congratulations Meeting then adjourned. COUNCIL Council was called to order by President Stewart. The rainutd were read and approved. Doxey Stone reported that the smokeless smoker will be on May 2. Mr. Stone also reported the prices and ar-rangements. This rep™4 wr ed by a motion. "We 13" was granted a party for next Saturn because the party granted it lad week was not held. Phi Lamba lid was granted a party for EasterJ morning. Ben Cartwright report that the Union Pacific has talH over the Ogden Tennis club's urn and that we will probably be unafl to use them. It was moved and scpI onded that this report be accepted! The motion was passed. The prefl dent warned the members about bd ing absent. Council then adjourned,! RADER DEEGAN, Secretary, j] WHAT THEY THINK Here is criticism of education aodH of students. Four employers spofl candidly. From a man employer: "They lack in knowledge of tfl fundamental subjects — arithmetic spelling, English, penmanship. T«] are better qualified in shorthand and typewriting than they wereW few years ago." Here is a woman employer's aal] swer: "Woefully lacking in their knoww edge of fundamental subjects, espfn cially mathematics and English They seem to have no realization what getting a jog means. TtH have no idea of what a business iB titude should be—they act as tho« they were going to a playgrouniroi have to teach them how to condujlV themselves—they are lacking inlMp sense of responsibility." A prominent manager gave qH views as follows: "They do not have the right rtaH point. They are just putting in tinul They do not look upon their jobs Ml a privilege and an opportunity. ThH are not trained to think in ternaH modern business requirements. FeII graduates have any idea how to flH or co-ordinate their work to getH most effective results. Schools not teach the organization of tnofl ern business." Another man well up in our cnH pany but still young, as are all thodl who were interviewed, expressed tiH following opinion: , "The greatest need of industry t(H day is for employes who can bresH down facts into their elements, ( can analyze and reason from coH to effect and from effect to cauS Our schools are not teaching pupwl how to do this.

THE JUNIOR PROM May 29 might be the day of daji; but April 25 wil certainly be tin night of nights. For then the henirS tofore lowly junior assumes the cluW of host to a benign, complacent nior. A subtle change has takdL place and as the music swings idl a gliding cadence, the entertainmSg sets forth its pace. Amidst a :ril - umphal blast, the junior parades J vanities, the senior applauds. W is the spirt of the prom. A al from tonight, students, and all n[ certainly be well. Tickets hiwi been lowered for the prom so th all may attend, even though thdj pocketbook be in a rather deplefl condition, still unrecovered from tfl splurges of the Classicalia. Evera body come.
