with unfading brilliance, and building a record which will be hard for future clubs to equal. Not just one thing which the Stellae has done has built its reputation but an unbroken chain of deeds which only the Stellae has the resourcefulness and the ability to perform. The Stellae members held their meeting at the home of Dorothy Higginbotham Thursday evening and enjoyed a brief but interesting talk given by Mr. Barton, who proved himself to be a well read, well informed student of astronomy. Miss Bowman, our new advisor, was then introduced to the club, and in her talk she said: "There are so many useless things in this life, and so many people chasing the bubble of recreation, that there is; rarely found a group of young people, such as is found in the Stellae, who can find interest in the solar system, and it is harder still to find a group that can expand the subject or astronomy into a delightful and interesting study. I can already see forming in the Stellae that companionship about which an advisor in one of my high school clubs once said to us, 'I hope that! you all will live one-hundred years, I and that I might live all of that, except one day, so that I shall not live to see that companionship, which is the joy of your high school days, broken by the death of any of you.' I know that I will be able to repeat my old advisor's words, for the spirit and the morale is here, and I can predict only success for the Stellae this year." The Stellae, after hearing Miss Bowman, feels justly, proud and also lucky to have secured the services of such a capable leader this year. This meeting was an innovation and shoe's what a club like the Stellae, with able leadership, ran really do to promote school spirit and co-operation. BILL STRATFORD. FORUM MEETING. Monday night at the Ogden High school we held one of the snappiest meetings of me year. .Mrs. Camp, one of our advisors gave us a short talk on "Roberts' Rules of Order," which cleared up many questions which were in our minds as to the exact procedure in formal meetings. The meeting was then turned over to parliamentary drill in which each member was given an opportunity of being chairman and conducting the meeting. During this meeting a secretary and a reporter "pro tem" were appointed. Hilly Gunnell and John Griffin challenged any other two club members to debate next Monday on the question. "Resolved: That Colonel Mitchell Be Acquitted." David Camp and Jack Craven accepted the challenge. The members of the Forum find that these meetings are well worth the time spent, since they afford each member an opportunity of conducting the meeting and of clearing up any questions in parliamentary procedure which might arise. SCOTT KELLOGG, Reporter OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES "The philosophers say that God projected creation away from Himself in order that it might hunger and thirst to get back to Him; and certainly the whole course of our human life bears out this theory. We are born with a cry on our lips; we grow up blindly, rebelliously; our entire development is a process of effort and pain; paradoxically, the more intelligently we enjoy things the more they sting and fret us." AT BRIGHAM CITY The high school is well represented at Brigham City this afternoon. Active members of the athletic committees secured trucks to carry students who were not otherwise provided with transportation. The game will be one of the most interesting of the season, but Ogden will win on a good margin. ASSEMBLY TOMORROW The H. C. club will present the program at tomorrow's assembly at 11:15 o'clock. The club promises a very interesting program. The morning periods will be shortened so that all classes will meet as usual. MILITARY DEPARTMENT Ogden Senior High School. Special orders, No. 4 2.

Private Verlin Walker. Private Winfield Hancock. Private Wayne Iverson. CARL J. DOCKLER, Captain, Cavalry, D. O. L., P. M. S. & T. The publication of a school paper is of such importance that the University of Colorado is catling a conference of all high school editors, sponsors and advisors of the state to consider ways and means of doing well this important piece of " work. While Utah is not quite prepared to do that sort of thing, the Ogden High school is doing all in its power to improve the school publication. For the benefit of all interested we present the article that follows, from the pen of a ; man who knows: THE SCHOOL PAPER The school paper should be timely, honest and vigorous. Stale news should be excluded. If one issue is overset, the surplus type should be "pied" unless it is made up of "features." Of i course when the dummy is made up, care should be taken to use the timely news in preference to features if there is any overset. Honesty in publication is of two kinds; honesty in borrowing and honesty in the use of original material. The practice of deliberately stealing jokes seems almost ineradicable in high school papers. Students persist in neglecting to give credit for their borrowings. Especially when a joke is adaptable to local school conditions so that the laugh may be turned upon some schoolfellow or teacher, youngsters forget their scruples. Although a little of this plagiarism will get past an alert teacher, most of it has so false a ring that it is easily detected. Violation of the rule of honest borrowing should be severely penalized. Dishonesty in the handling of original material includes inaccuracies which could be avoided by reasonable care in checking the sources of information. Only recently there came to the attention of the writer an incident which lost for the school the devotion of a loyal alumnus; upon some bit of irresponsible gossip the reporter had based the unqualified announcement of the engagement of the alumnus. Subsequent investigation disclosed the fact that the girl whose name was linked in the item was barely an acquaintance of the alumnus in question. Such embarrassing incidents serve to impress upon the j teacher the necessity of questioning every morsel of alleged news until the reporter has shown that he has verified his statements. Another form of journalistic dishonesty, more subtle and more pernicious, is the use of the paper to further the interest of a certain individual or group. This misuse of publicity is sometimes unconscious, in that prominence is given to the items and individuals of importance to the reporter, who has not learned to valuate news in accordance with its relation to the life of the institution. If the members of the staff are affiliated with a clique, organized or unorganized, they "play up" the clique at the expense of other student interests; the teacher from his viewpoint of one detached must follow closely the alignment of cliques in order that he may keep his news columns well balanced and fair. Vigor in the paper needs little explanation. The paper ought to be the strongest influence in the formation of student opinion. To this end it must be courageous in its editorial expression; at the same time its policies must be the reflection of the thought of upstanding students, not the adult idealism preached at youngsters from the altered viewpoint of maturity. Criticism which is given editorial authority must be constructive, not destructive; hopeful, not plaintive. It is better to praise and encourage the good qualities in our fellows than to complain of their faults.—Russell Sharp. Whenever Charles M. Schwab speaks or Writes he gives something worth while. He is one of America's most successful business men, and withal has a most wholesome, optimistic outlook upon life. We commend to our readers the following from his pen: LOOKING AHEAD Success represents the completion of a well planned campaign. The education of the thousands of young men in American schools would be more valuable to them J and to the nation if each one were studying to prepare himself for some particular line of work. Unfortunately a great many young men, even at the time of graduation, have not yet decided what they are going to do to make a living. During the past few years, industry has made great progress in the use of machinery. At the present time, efforts are devoted to eliminating waste and making better use of time. Any steps tending to make more valuable the time of students should play an important part in the national efforts towards increasing individual usefulness. I would give a great deal to be torty years younger than I am today. Some people have the notion that it is much harder to make a big success in business today than it was years ago. They would have you believe that the human element has been almost entirely eliminated from business and that at best a man can only become a big cog in the wheel. The record of the leading young-men in industry today dispels that illusion. Almost all of them start, at the place where most college men will start—at the bottom. If the business world is more crowded today than in your father's time, there is also a better spirit of co-operation there. If competition is keen, its purpose is not to destroy but to build up. The world does not work against you; it works for you. Its obstacles are for the quickening of your own facilities. Its conflict is to make you strong. But it is a conflict wherein the happy-warrior succeeds. Cultivate happiness and it will be for you a weapon.—Charles M. Schwab. DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL About forty teachers, including wives and husbands of faculty members of the high school, rode up to the Valley House at Huntsville on Wednesday evening and partook of a sumptuous dinner. After the dinner they returned to Ogden and passed a happy hour or two singing, dancing, etc., at the home of Principal Merrill. The social committee is planning to have such affairs about once a month during the school year. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES If men cared less for wealth and fame And less for battlefields and glory; If writ in human hearts, a name Seemed better than in song and story; If men instead of nursing pride, Would learn to hate it and abhor it; If more relied on love to guide, The world would be the better for it. YES, WE LOST. Contrary to expectations, we lost. By the laws of the Medes and Persians we should have won. We could put up all kinds of alibis, but we refrain as such are not in good taste. The big consolation in the loss is the fact that the victory means so much to Box Elder. They are simply tickled to death with the winning and it is almost worth a defeat to see how hugely they can enjoy a victory over us. We shall not mar their pleasure either by any sort of protest. We simply say, "It's yours, Box Elder, make the most of it." AT ASSEMBLY. Today's assembly was held under auspices of the H. C. club and the program was: Original dialog, Winifred Mans and Winifred McConnell; music, Prank Hales; reading, Jack Craven; music, Harper Culley and Robert Van Cleave; original impersonations, Bella Herscovitz; stunt, music, Winifred Mans, Geraldine Leonard, Charles Emmett; playlet, actors, David Camp, Adelaide Smith, Verlin Carrol, Edith Ashton. Reader, Hal Armstrong; property man, Harper Culley to try Aviation. Elmer Malin, 25, is making application to join the United States aviation corps. The danger element in this line of work doesn't frighten Elmer. He feels that it is an invaluable part of the world's work, and that he might as well try his hand at it as anyone. THE NORTHERN LIGHT. The "Northern Light" is the title of a very creditable paper just issued by North Washington Junior. The paper is large size, eight-page pamphlet form and contains a good deal of interesting data concerning the school. We congratulate the students and advisors on getting out such a splendid paper. IT'S UP TO US. We began with defeat in football this year. The hoodoo has followed us. We have been beaten by West, East, Grantsville, Box Elder. A rather unsatisfactory season. There's only one thing left for us. We must, positively absolutely win next week by beating L.D.S. on Armistice day. If we will only get ready, we shall win, too. Team, school, everybody, key up for the game. We must end gloriously. NEWS FROM MARTINEZ. Arland Hansink, 25, writing to a high school teacher from Martinez, says among other intersting things, "I hope to see dear old Ogden again soon, but no one knows how many moons must pass over my head before I shall have that blessed privilege. But I'm fast learning that when one starts a fight, with the cruel old world, he must take what it yields, not what he wants. One thing I am sure of, however, I shall never have a happier year in my life than the school year 1924-25 in the good old O. H. S."
