COLONEL CUNNINGHAM LEAVES The student body is sorry to hear that Colonel Cunningham is trans¬ferred. Colonel Cunningham will leave here to take up the same type of work in a military academy in Virginia. During his two years the R. O. T. C. has prospered. The school board is making an effort to secure the return of Captain Dockler who preceded the colonel. While he was here Ogden high was the top school in the Ninth corps area and his return would be a thing that would mean much to the R. O. T. C. We wish the school board luck in the efforts. SWIMMING PARTY For all B company cadets and members of the staff, cadet officers are giving a swimming party next Thursday at the Weber gym. The entire company is asked to be pres¬ent and to help give Parker Woods a good ducking. YEAR BOOK NEXT WEEK Next week the annual Classicum will be off the press and ready for your approval. The annual is per-haps the hardest bit of work of any of the various activities. It takes months of planning and effort, so those who edit and manage it cer¬tainly are due a lot of praise. Mrs. Newcomb and Mr. Coray are the advisors. Hod and Gray with their staffs were planning in February for the success of the year book. Consequently they deserve the thanks and appreciation of every student. Few activities are so little praised and few workers deserve so much praise. Not a small amount of the student body fund goes for the Classicum. In all it costs some¬thing over $1600. You get your two dollars worth when you pay for it. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Can you please tell me for what the five or three dollars go that the students pay to the student body each fall at registration time? We get a student body card in return but just what does that represent? It seems to me that it is merely a piece of paper that has no face value. All the activities are charging ad¬mission prices. Where does the money go? A DUMB JUNIOR. Dear Junior: The money goes to support ath¬letics, school publications and school activities. The three dollar fee en-titles students to entrance to all home football games, all basketball games. subscription to the Classicum tand in recent years admission to both the school play and the school opera, and an opening dance in the fall. The five dollar fee in addition to the above gives the year book, which actually costs about .four dol¬lars each. So you see, the small fee charged enables the school to carry on activities, to assume responsi¬bilities and to develop the social side of life. Colleges usually charge from $10 to $15 for student activities and do not offer the student any more en¬tertainment than the high school. Be grateful, lad, for your high school days. After you leave high school, education costs money. AUNT JANE. PARENTS' DAY FRIDAY We take this opportunity of noti¬fying all parents that Friday, May 23, is exhibition and parents' day at the high school. We hope that all parents will arrange to be with us as we are to have some classy exhibits of our work in all class¬rooms. The exhibit idea is growing and each year we have more and better work to show. This year we are sure to have the best exhibit ever. At 2 o'clock we are to have our "award day program," inter¬spersed with a lot of fine music. We are very sure the parents will enjoy this program. Then again at 8 o'clock in the eve¬ning we are to have the annual fash¬ion show which is a classic of its kind. Again, those who favor us in the afternoon are to be furnished with refreshments in the dining room. We shall welcome you, parents, and shall be disappointed if you do not spend the afternoon and eve-ning with us. CHATTER AND CHAFF Howard Tribe tells us his mother woke him the other night to see what was wrong with him. It was the night after the inspection and How¬ard had been counting cadence in his sleep. That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Little Ginna Hyde must have had some poem to recite the other night at Carpe initiation. Sing it to us, will you, Virginia? Ogden has two lucky instructors. These are Willis Smith and Frank Oberhansley. Their luck lies in the fact that both have secured govern¬ment positions for the summer at Yellowston park. ZETA PHI XI REPORT Hello, everybody! This is station ZPX broadcasting on a wave length of 600 motorcycles by permission of the federal prohibition agent. The first number on our program will be a selection played by the Blah Blah Saloon orchestra entitled "Con¬gratulations." This is played in compliment to Geneva Farr, Eloise Brewer, Vella Phillips, Margaret Scoville, Bernice Shreeve, June Mc¬Gregor, Marion Ensign and Dorothy Nelson. These girls are the lucky juniors we have just pledged. As the next number of tonight's program, in the interest of the Holeless Doughnut company we will make you all hungry by telling you of the lovely banquet we girls and our escorts enjoyed the other night. If any of you are doubting Thomases as to the success of it just ask any¬one who attended. And more good news! The officers for next year are selected and are they good ones? Couldn't be better. Don't you agree when I tell you that Virginia Oborn is the new president, Eloise Brewer, vice president, and Geneva Farr, sec¬retary? This concludes our program for this evening and if the tires on some of our motorcycles aren't punc¬tured hy then we will greet you again one week from tonight. And until then, carbolic acid! (that's goodbye in any language). JEANETTE PARRY, Reporter. Ogden High May 22. School News School News Manhood begins when we have in any way made truce with necessity. —Carlyle. COMMENCEMENT SERMON On Sunday morning at the Orpheum theatre, the annual com¬mencement sermon will be delivered by Monsignor Hunt of the Cathedral of the Madeliene. We hope the seniors will be prompt and that no one will be absent on this morning. The center section will be reserved for graduates. Parents, patrons and friends are urged to be present. Father Hunt is welcomed by the student body and we hope it will be as much pleasure for him to de¬liver the sermon as it is for us to hear it. AWARD ASSEMBLY On Friday the annual award as¬sembly will be presented by the student body officers. It will be the last assembly of the year and each student is urged to attend and to give his best attention. The block O's, of which no one knows the recipients except the advisory committee, will be presented. Not even the student body president knows who will receive one. Other various awards will also be present¬ed. Les Mayer will be the lucky man to get The Standard-Examiner watch. Chemistry awards and others of various significance will also be presented. MISS RACHEL MEDOWAY, wEo won a scholarship to the University of Utah in the state eon- test on high school day on May 9 in Salt Lake. Miss Medoway was first in the soprano vocal con¬test.

"I am calling it to the attention of my graduate students, and plac¬ing it on the tables of our seminar library of rural social-economics."

AUNT JANE "Dear Aunt Jane: Who may go to commencement and who may not? I'm a senior but a number of the juniors would like to see me really get the pigskin. They don't think I rate one and I want to show them that I do. "A GRADUATING SENIOR." Dear Graduating Senior: I like your optimism. The truth about the seating at commencement is as follows: There are to be three tick¬ets given to each graduating mem¬ber of the senior class. Each one of these admits one person. If a jun¬ior has a ticket given him that is his good luck. If he is not then we regret to say that there are not enough seats for all and the seniors get first choice with their parents. The reason for this is not being ex¬clusive but is a case of necessity because there are not enough seats to go around. If there were seats enough the juniors would be next on the list. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF Chuck Hetzel has established a new non-stop flight for uninterrupt¬ed talking. Nice going, Clarence. The time may come when you won't ever stop. Those junior non-coms do some mighty odd things when they get a chance to drill the companies. Ro-land Corry thinks all cadets arc mind readers and don't need a com¬mand to halt. GOOD OFFICERS Student body officers are a Irm Always we have officers who da their best. Seldom have we had ojj ficers with so much ability as , have had this year.
