BERKELEY STUDENT Erica Berne, '25, writes from the University of California to high school teacher. "I'm enjoying school a lot now. I've met a lot of nice boys and girls and that means, of course, good times. But Oh, I'm so lonesome; I just get spasms of homesickness and longing for O. H. S. that make me a very undesirable companion for anyone. "I see by the 'notes' that Stellae is coming to the front. Congratulate Garff for me for what he has done for the club this year." THINK UPON THESE. "I call a complete and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously all the offices both public and private, of peace and war."—John Milton. The worst result of over-expenditure is not the loss to taxpayers. It is the harm done to children by depriving them of school facilities to which they are entitled. —Omaha News. The worship of God is not a rule of safety—it is an adventure of the spirit after the unattainable.—A. N. Whitehead. "My idea is that inter-school athletics should become more thoroughly the climax of a more general participation within the student body."—Dr. Max Mason, new president of University of Chicago. In the rural districts, schools are dead, dispirited, poorly equipped, with the air of carrying on a losing struggle--John Dewey. Don’t be afraid of big things--a Packard steers easier than a Ford”--William Feather Magazine R. I. P. R. I. P. stands for a number of things. On a tombstone it means "rest in peace." In the Annapolis academy, however, according to Harry Lyon, it means, "Rank has its privilege" and is of great consequence. Freshmen must honor upper classmen because "rank has its privilege." All subordinate officers must extend every courtesy and consideration to officers higher up because "rank has its privilege." Perhaps nowhere else in America is there such deference and respect shown authority as at our military schools. Some of us may feel that the practices of these schools are undemocratic, but we ought not to lose sight of the good elements in the inculcation and practice of paying respect, courtesy, homage to superiors. We cannot hide behind the delusion that there are no superiors in a democracy. Even in a democracy some are older than others and age should always command the respect of youth. Some are chosen leaders and their position entitles them to some degree of deference. Some have achieved greatness by application and work and are entitled to some consideration on account of their accomplishments. For the most part we are sure, that showing deference to others is not overdone in America. Indeed, the complaint is common that we pay altogether too little respect to age, to rank, to authority, and even to those whom we may perchance regard as equals. A certain modicum of respect is due every one and we would do well to cultivate the practice of showing respect where respect is due. HUMILITY A VIRTUE. The foregoing, for some cause, calls up some lines that have always appealed to us. The lines are these: The bird that soars on highest wing Builds on the ground her lowly nest; And she that doth most sweetly sing, Sings most at night when all things rest. In both lark and nightingale we see What honor hath humility. STRAINING AT GNATS. One of America's greatest educators—Horace Mann—once gave expression to the following: "It is related of a certain king, that, when embarked on a voyage attended by his courtiers, and carrying with him some of his treasures, a storm arose which made it necessary to lighten the ship; whereupon he commanded his courtiers to be thrown overboard, but saved his money. How is it with parents who are embarked with fortune and family on this voyage of life; when they need a better school house to save their children from ill health, or a better teacher to rescue them from immorality or ignorance, or even a slate or a shilling's worth of paper to save them from idleness; have we any parents amongst us, or have we not, who, under such circumstances, will fling the child overboard and save the shilling? LOYALTY. Loyalty is a big and a significant word. If you know one's loyalties, you know his life; you have a measure of his beliefs, his faith, and his vocation or profession. The greater his loyalty, the greater the man. One who has not evidenced some degree of loyalty, to his profession, to his friends, to his community and nation, to the principles of his religion, to his higher ideals— isn't much of a man after all. He doesn't stand for anything. He is a nondescript. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES "The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can well, and doing well whatever you do without' a thought of fame."—Longfellow. ARMISTICE GAME. The game on Wednesday, Armistice day, between Ogden and L. D. S., is to be the crowning feature of the Ogden football season. Those who are greatly interested in football and have attended our other games will be at this game to see Ogden retrieve her reputation. Those who have not interested themselves heretofore are Invited to witness this game and get "pepped up" a bit. It will do one good to witness the fight that we shall pur, up Wednesday. They say the cards are stacked for L. D. S., but remember that in spite of cards, "sport dope" and all else, this game is Ogden's. We must have it I to make amends for a rather inglorious season. We have a good team—the boys have done their best—but somehow it just seems that a hoodoo has followed us. We were out-played by East, but we should have brought in the scalps of the others. L. D. S. must go down on Wednesday. Just watch us! H. C. CLUB ASSEMBLY. Last Friday marked one of the biggest days in the history of the H. C. club of the Ogden High school. One of those big events took place which help to make the history or any club. We entertained the student body and faculty with one of the best assemblies so far this year. By making this the best assembly of the year we have seta standard that the club next year will have to work hard to live up to and the other clubs will have a hard time to beat. The numbers on the program were as follows: An original reading by Winifred Mans and Winifred McConnell; a clarinet solo by Nano Piersonti; a reading, "The Wedding Fee." by Jack Craven; a guitar solo, by Francis Hales; original impersonations by Bella Herlwitz; a stunt featuring Geraldine Leonard and Charles Emmett, and music by Winifred Mans; a playlet, "The Lamp Went Out." JACK CRAVEN, Reporter. GAMMA KAPPA. The Gamma Kappa meeting, held Wednesday, was greatly enjoyed by the members. The girls' quartet rendered a much appreciated song, and Mrs. Robins, one of the faculty, gave a history of the drama. This was very instructive as well as amusing, for each of us learned something, if only a funny story. The roll has somewhat increased with new members. And by the way, the boys still promise that party for the girls. RUTH CRAVEN. GLEE CLUB. Friday, November 5. "Old Folks at Home." chorus: "Music in the Bible," five-minute talk, Hazel Van Arden; "The Stolen Pie," reading. Mary Hinckley; "Handel and The Messiah," Mr. Gammell; "How Can I Leave Thee," trio, May Douglas, Carmyn Critchlow, Lorna Purdy. MARY HINCKLEY, Reporter. TEACHER FACTS. The following statements are vouched for by a reliable publishing company. We think they are true: 1. Teachers marry. Ninety-nine out of every hundred. 2. Females pick and choose, Males think they do. 3. Bankers, doctors, lawyers, ministers and miscellaneous millionaires are the choice victims of the gentler sex. 4. If she's a blonde, there's no escape for the millionaire; that is to say, if she decides that way. 5. The brunettes show a preference for movie actors, musicans, tenors and titled foreigners. 6. A woman teaches five, ten or twenty years, until her altruistic reserve is pretty nearly exhausted. 7. Then, about the time of the cherry blossoms, she nonchalantly decides to sit opposite some lesser creature in a "little nest for two." Amen. H. C. CLUB. Saturday night the H. C. club held one of the best parties they have ever had. We tried out a new idea in the form of a progressive party and found that it worked to complete satisfaction. We met at the home of Charles Emmett at 3132 Washington avenue, where the first course was served. From there we motored up to Sampson's on Twenty-second street and Monroe avenue, where the second course was served. Front whence was traveled to Francis Hales' home, at 3259 Wall avenue and a third course was served. The last course was served at Rosemary Scoville's home on Twenty-sixth street, after which the party adjourned. JACK CRAVEN, Reporter. AUTUMN MUSIC. Without a doubt, music hath its charms, and is there any morel pleasing music to the lovers of the great out-doors than the music heard on an autumn night, composed and played by the natural musicians of nature? If there is a more quieting, and. at the same time, inspiring combination of sounds, I have yet to hear it. On an autumn night the air seems to be filled with a wonderful, sleepy melody, sung by hundreds of small, chirping voices, which, if heard alone, would scarcely be interesting. In unison, however, each voice apparently has its particular, part and time, sometimes ceasing long enough to draw attention to other voices which are, perhaps, singing a counter-melody, then again, joining in with the other voices. There are, of course, different types of music. One type has a martial air which stirs up patriotism, and makes people feel ready to do and dare for the sake and honor of their country. This partriotic feeling may be carried far enough to cause wars and bloodshed. In contrast to this type, is the quieting, soothing type to which autumn music belongs. Both of these types have their uses, the one to stir up man against his fellows; the other to create a feeling of peace and love. Which of these is more beautiful, and more soul-inspiring? If our purpose in life is to become more god-like, which Nov 10-25 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when I thought a flower would grow.— Lincoln. TO SEE "MACBETH" Mr. Love, the advance representative of Robert Mantell, one of the greatest of present day interpreters of Shakespearian plays —called at the high school last Friday to consult with the teachers concerning the presentation of Macbeth at a local theatre next week. As this play is studied in third year of high school, it is recommended that all junior and senior high school students who can witness this performance. PEP RALLY TODAY A pep rally was scheduled for 11:30 o'clock today to get ready for tomorrow's great game. Students will be there en masse as there is no school, and no work. Many students have not been able to attend other games on account of working after school and on Saturdays. It is expected that 98 per cent of the students will be on hand tomorrow to cheer their team. A large delegation will be up from Salt Lake. The kick-off will be at 2:30 o'clock sharp. MORE "TEACHER FACTS" 1—Male teachers marry, too. 2—As a rule out of their classification and beneath them. 3—Males are rated in Dunn's and by detective agencies as hard guys addicted to caveman stuff, a good credit with the grocer, but not regarded with favor by doctors, lawyers, or automobile salesmen. 4—His average offspring is bright and especially receptive to measles, whooping cough and croup, to stone throwing, window breaking and other delinquencies. 5—Teachers are the backbone of the nation, especially when they are not the wishbone. 6—Teachers are the natural prey of book agents, life insurance agents and promoters of all fake enterprises. 7—Teachers eschew high society and largely for the reason that the fox did not want the grapes, nohow. FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY All those in favor of more assemblies like the one held last Friday make it known by the usual sign—all those opposed— the motion is carried. No need to ask who had charge of it; the H. C., of course. Some of the strong moralists in school may object to commercializing childish talents, such as dancing. They may even say that the extinguishing of lamps is improper, but since the H. C. is the peppiest and smartest club of all, it must be correct. When the program was planned, doubts were expressed as to the safety of presenting such bombastic numbers, but Mr. Pingree has so often assured us that the roof is secured against loud yelling that we decided in favor of unrestrained laughter. Did you laugh? Well, you should have! That David Camp is a desperate villain and that Edythe Ashton does "very heavy" punchwork cannot be denied. Winifred, Mans and McConnell, respectively, were altogether too quarrelsome, but forgot fond mother's disputes in the charming strains of Francis Hale's guitar. But alas, since "even, this shall pass away," the assembly came to an end, but not before the motion had been made and passed (figuratively) that more of the club's "snappy" spirit should be felt.
