THEODORE ROOSEVELT. As president, Theodore Roosevelt had many great cares and much strenuous business to attend to, but he always managed to find interest himself in the affairs of his family. He took a special interest in his children. He found time in which to gather them and their cousins together and take them for an obstacle walk. He taught them by this game never to go around an obstacle in their path but to go through it or over it. He spent many hours with them, making them happy and at the same time teaching them many valuable lessons. Much of the time he was unable to be with the children, but through his letters he was always near his family. At those times, when business called him away or his children were away at school, he arranged to write a letter to each one at the week-end. These letters, while they were extremely interesting, contained much good solid advice. Throughout his life he was like a companion and brother to his children. CHARLES ALLISON. WORTHWHILE LIFE. Viscount Grey of England says there are four elements that must he considered in educating for happiness and for life: (1) A moral standard by which our actions are guided. (2) Some satisfactory home life In the form of good relations with family or friends. (3) Some form of work which justifies our existence to our country and makes us good citizens. (4) Some degree of leisure with enough common sense to make good use of it. MILITARY DEPARTMENT. Ogden Senior High school, October 28, 1925. Special Orders, No. 3. 1.

The girls seem exceedingly fond of hard work—and are exhibiting unusual "pep and go" this year. AT NOTRE DAME. John O'Neill, '24, is making good at Notre Dame university. This statement is based upon reports that come to us from the university and is substantiated also by this very fine peom which appears in a re-rent issue of the "Scholastic," the university magazine. Anyone who appreciates poetry will see much beauty in the following. ELEGY. Yesterday her laughter died and now My mournful footsteps wander back to greet Sad echoes where beside the silent lake she danced And wove a melody of grace so sweet She wondered, laughing softly, when she glanced The painted lindens flowing at her feet And bearing on the mirror's envious face Her image, clothed in rippling water-lace. But now the worldless lindens Sway low, burdened with a sigh That croons a plaintive echo of her song While slow their batons stir a close-press'd sky And willow fingers search the depths for long, Then rise up dripping tears that fall Accusing every shadow, mourning beauty, all. —John O'Neill, '28. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys and tears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." —Wordsworth. MARKS OF AN EDUCATED MAN. 1. He keeps his mind open on every subject until the evidence is all in. 2. He always listens to the man who knows. 3. He never laughs at new ideas. 4. He cross-examines his day dreams. 5. He knows his strong point and plays it. 7. He knows the value of good habits and how to form them. 8. He knows when not to think and when to call in the expert to think for him. 9. You can't sell him magic. 10. He lives the forward-living, outward-looking life. 11. He cultivates a love of the beautiful. —A. E. WIGGAM. PLANNING A PARTY. The high school teachers have been so busy during the first six weeks that they haven't met as yet in a social way. They feel, however, that they are missing something by neglecting the social amenities and are now planning several social functions for the year. TOLERANCE. We all need to be more tolerant —more considerate of others and their opinions. We can be friends and yet have different views, different beliefs. In a world where we are divided into cliques, parties, sects, nationalities, etc., it is absolutely essential that we be charitable and consistent. Fortunately high school students are far more tolerant than adults. Friendships are formed here at school with never a thought of creed, sect, political bias and even to a large extent without thought of nationality. It is highly desirable that this attitude of mind be carried over into adult life. It makes for better citizenship. For the development and continuance of tolerance we recommend to all the following principles: 1. Get the other person's viewpoint. 2. Inform yourself before condemning and then remember the scriptural injunction: "Judge not that ye be not judged." 3. Distinguish between conviction and mere personal opinion. Remember that others have a right to both, and that you have a right to contend only for the former. 4. If contention comes, let it always be goodnatured. Treat mere differences of opinion as trivial matters to be dismissed quickly from mind. 5. Never allow yourself to become ruffled with chronic fault finders. This is your greatest chance to school yourself in tolerance. 6. Study your own "supersensitiveness" and endeavor to correct your reactions at every point. SALE AT GAME. At the big game Saturday, between the Utah Aggies and the Colorado Aggies, the Stellae club and the Girls' association have cooperated and will have the concessions and sell refreshments. When two such spirited organizations get together something really big can be expected, so the school and the public is asked to attend to verify the fact. The following committees have been appointed: Executive—Mabel Reynolds, Beth Winkler, Jean Warner, Garff Wilson, Gerald Wallwood, Bill Gunnel. To sell at the stand—Frances Hobles, Ruth Craven, Mildred Griffin, Dorothy Lowe, Lenora Malan, Eleanor Weeks, Mary Hinkley, Carman Critchlow, Dorothy Manning,; Mary Bjorklund, Helen Grace. To sell in the grandstand—Virginia Anderson, Elda Wilson, Arlene Larsen, Thelma Ririe, Florence Morris, Eunice Davis, Jessie Smith, Mary Rich, Louise Eccles. Stella Parker, Ella Parker, Maud Forsha, Inez Taylor, Virginia Taylor, Frieda Raethal, Maud Milne. INTERESTING MEETING. The meeting of the Girls' association Wednesday morning was one of the most interesting assemblies ever held by an organization of the type. And talent? The fact that Miss Klea Mae Passy has such emphatic poetic abilities expanded the pride of the G. A. one notch greater. Her poem, which so clearly tells the ambitions of our association was heartily applauded and accepted as veryfine. In punishment for her "lapse of memory," Jean was requested to lead the girls' song. Miss Fitzsimmons gave a vivid account of her recent visit to Alaska. From her verbal picture, our mental vision of ice and snow melted into a picturesque land of beauty. Everyone enjoyed the trip with Miss Fitzsimmons, who so accurately told and relived her experiences in the north. Adelaide Smith presented the facts of the "Reconsidered Verdict" with such reality that many "Captain Sharpes" and "long suffering boatswains" danced before the eyes of worthy students all during the day. The girls at this meeting accepted the suggestion of managing another refreshment booth—this time at the big football game Saturday. The Stellae are joining us in this project and great proceeds are expected. FERN DAVIS. FALL FASHIONS. Human beings have their fall fashion shows, but they cannot surpass those of the autumn leaves. The store windows may have varied shades of colors in them, but it takes the shades of autumn to make a real showing. Look at the hillsides. Did you over see anything so beautiful? There are bright, somber, light, dark and medium shades of red, green, yellow, orange and brown. This time they have chosen gray as their background. Right well it sets them off, too. Mother Nature is more artistic than the window decorator; she has placed each dress where it will be shown off to the best advantage. The red and green dresses are in the same corner. Then the brown and shades of orange and yellow are mixed. Many of the dresses are shaded from orange to yellow or from pink to scarlet. This fashion show may not give the latest styles, for autumn styles do not change much as time goes on, but it has given an array of wonderful colors which only this season can give and has mixed shades that even a flapper would not dare combine. Autumn has created an effect that no one can find elsewhere. LORENE WATTIS OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES We take care of our health, we lay up money, we make our roof tight, and our clothing sufficient, but who provides wisely that we shall not be wanting in the best property of all—friends."—Emerson STILL UNDECIDED. The schedule provides for our playing Box Elder on Thursday of this week. The board of education, however objects to out-of-town games on school days as they interfere with school work and we are not at all certain that we shall be able to get consent to play this game. PROM INENT VISITOR. President E. G. Peterson of the Agricultural college in company with Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins passed Friday afternoon inspecting the school work and equipment of the high school. NOTABLE ADDRESS. The address of Harry Lyon on Friday last was one of the most interesting and worthwhile that has ever been given at a high school assembly. For more than 4 5 minutes Harry held the audience with a most delightful account of the work of our military academy at Annapolis, giving a detailed account of the students' daily life and work, the pleasures and past-times and especially the hard grind and discipline of the school. He characterized the school as "the greatest educational institution in the world." He portrayed how the school inculcates good habits, high ideals and lofty patriotism. If all students give such account of themselves as Harry has given of himself we shall certainly concede that it is indeed a very wonderful, exceptional school. It surely is a rare privilege and opportunity for any boy to attend the United States military academy. We express to Harry our sincere appreciation for his splendid talk. We wish him unbounded success in the career he has chosen. MILITARY DEPARTMENT Ogden Senior High School. Oct. 30, 1925. 1.

S. & T. ONE ON SUPERINTENDENT The superintendent visited a class the other day and in an enthusiastic moment remarked: "My I wish I was a boy again." After a moment he asked, "Can any one of you tell me why I wish that?" A boy on the back seat thought he knew, so he answered: "'Cause you've forgot everything you ever knowed." NOT IN OGDEN. Of course this didn't happen in Ogden". During the visit of a school board member to a certain school the teacher asked: "Who signed the 'Magna charta?" A student answered, "Please sir, it wasn't me." The teacher, displeased, said, "That will do, take your seat." Whereupon the school board member said, "Just a moment, please; call that boy back. I believe from his looks that he's the one that did it." THIS HAPPENED HERE. Manners and morals receive some attention in the Ogden City schools as well as reading, writing and arithmetic. A first grade teacher was giving some instruction in table manners the other day. In asking the children why they should eat without making a noise she was surprised by this remarkable answer: "Because the people in the next apartment might want to sleep."
