Mantic tale. These numbers were much appreciated by the members of Gamma Kappa and we hope the performers will perform again. Charles Emmet announced that he had paid his dues and wished others would do the same And say--the boys’ party will be given Saturday evening, November1. Hooray! --Ruth Craven. THE HIGH SCHOOLS’ GREATEST NEED The high school’s one imperative need is an assembly hall. By crowding closely together we can get in our present assembly hall but to what avail? Only to hear a speaker or a recitation. There is to be sure a stage platform in one end of the hall, but a dramatic performance or a play of any sort cannot be presented from this platform because more than half of the students cannot hear. Time and again we have tried to give programs from this platform with the one unvarying result--confusion, dissatisfaction. In consequence we have but a small platform on one side of the hall--merely a speakers’ platform--much too small to permit of any other sort of program. Every year the question arises: “What can we do? What can we do?” We respectfully recommend this to the board of education. Let’s build a new assembly hall and gymnasium, making additional class rooms of the present assembly hall. What do you say, gentlemen? CAMOUFLAGE. Rising as a yellow haze, the morning mist curls and shimmers like steam from a fairy caldron. Vaguely, mystically the fleeting vapors hide the bronze majesty of the mountains. Only a haze outline of the peaks is seen through the camouflage. This camouflage is like life. The reality of the hills is seen but faintly through the vapors, but they, the hills, are there, awaiting to confront us after the morning sun has dissolved the mist. Just so with life, the world and its tasks await us in reality after time has banished the magic laughter and joyful songs of youth. —Jean Warner. BOOKY ODORS. All through the "Act of Life," “odor" plays a leading role, spring is denoted by that fragrance so dear to every heart, food is judged by a good smell or a bad smell, and even home has its own peculiar scent. So it is that the first days of school are suggested by the smell of new books. An idle turning of the pages omits promises of a great intellectual knowledge, of hectic ecenings, of teachers, cross, easy, or very often difficult, of friendships verging into love or hate, "sluffing," being caught or eluding the omnipresent faculty. A vain, the odor denotes pages of mere words while the students mind is occupied with more important things than the discovery of a new world or the reason why white corpuscles are essential to the health of the body, such as the next school dance or the party attended last night. But when all the pages have been scribbled on, if not read, and the teachers carefully scrutinized, if not listened to, and all the illusions have either been fulfilled or destroyed, that suggestion of an odor of books, no longer new reminds one that another year of school has vanished into history. —Adelaide Smith. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Where there is faith There is love. Where there is love There is peace. Where there is peace There is God. Where there is God There is no need. HEALTH TALK Dr. L. A. Smith, a brother of one of the high school teachers, spoke to the student of physiology on the subject of immunity. The students enjoyed the talk, and hope to hear from Dr. Smith again. H. C. CLUB H. C. club surely is stepping right along; she's not giving anyone else a chance to overpower her. Two new members were voted in Thursday, which only adds zest to her already prized membership. H. C, is very careful who her future members shall be, as they are the ones to carry on next year's work. But wait! Although she has put on her assembly (which every one has heard about), this is not the last time she will be heard from. INTERESTING DEBATE The fourth period history class Thursday had an informal debate. The question was, "Resolved, that the president and vice president of the United States should be elect-led by popular vote." Adelaide Smith led the affirmative and Henry O'Keefe led the negative. The class was divided evenly, those Who wished to be on the affirmative, or on the negative, were on the side they chose. Mrs. Irwin decided that the affirmative side had the best preparation and argument. We are going to have many more informal debates and if possible some interclass debates before the year is over. DOROTHY LOWE, reporter. TO PRESENT PLAY "The Seven Keys to Baldpate" will be presented at the Orpheum theatre two nights, Tuesday and Wednesday, December 8 and 9. Your student body tickets will admit you to a downstairs seat. The seats will be drawn for at a late date. Next Wednesday's assembly promises to be the best yet. The senior class is putting it on. Figure it out for yourself. SCHOOL SLOGAN. A slogan that appeared on one of the blackboards last Friday was this: "Make your schools livable." I, as one of the students of the Ogden High, feel that, is living up to this slog our school student and teacher seem an. Each a great interest in helping to take school; they all seem to be the ing together to accomplish work-aim, that of the advancement one mankind. Although we are ve of crowded we do our best to help each other advance along this line. MAKING DATES Gallants! The school is full of them. During an earnest class recitation one of the boys emitted a long, tender sigh. With wondering eyes the class turned and looked at him. Stopping the class immediately, the teacher asked what was troubling him. "I can't tell you," he said, blushing, "But, E-, you had better get it out of your system," the fair teacher insisted. "Well, you see it's this way: I— er—I wanted to ask you for a date and I didn't know how!" Thereupon, to the utter astonishment of the class, the teacher accepted, providing that the swain would ask her by a loving letter and also make the "date" properly over the telephone. "Because," she said, "I'm going to have my dues of courtship just the same." In a recent article in the Literary Digest, I found that Prof. Lowell, of Harvard, is of the opinion that the students of today are more enthused by the record made on the athletic field and The Armistice day parade of the R. O. T. C. unit, was a fine example of the improvement which the regiment undergoes every year under the capable instruction of the commandant and his assistants. The marching and discipline showed marked improvement over that of last year and was really remarkable, considering the short time that the unit has! been in training. For two years past the Ogden unit has been one of the few honor schools in the Ninth Corps area, This is an enviable honor and one of which the city may be proud. The cadet officers of this year's unit are given an intensive course of training and, wth the co-operation of the men under their command, they should be able to put the Ogden High school unit among the best in the country. KNOW YOUR SCHOOL DAY Our school days are very short, interesting, and livable. The best place in the world to spend your campus than in the class-room. I would agree with him if I went to any high school, other than Ogden. However, after my four years, I have come to the conclusion that this condition does not exist in the O. H. S. —R. M. H. THE R. O. T. C. UNIT time! A good day in High school is worth about $9.22. A little invested in education saves much expended on crime, poverty, and disease. But how are we going to do this with poor buildings? We should have good schools for all communities. Our preparation for modern life demands a broader course of study. A CLASS PLAY Sit up and take notice! The oral expression department of Ogden High school is going to put on another play. Of course, it is a little early yet to tell you all about it. However, we know that there is a deep mystery in it, and it will afford excellent entertainment for everybody. Watch this column for the date. MAY RANDALL. THE SPONSORS O, you mothers, lift up your hearts and rejoice! Have you not noticed a change in your home? Do you not receive fewer requests from your sons? If not, they have failed, indeed. If a stranger should enter the halls of High school, any morning, noon or night, he might think we had just staged a sham battle, and the wounded were being cared for. In each corner two khaki-clad figures can be seen, one very busily engaged. The little button servers of the R. O. T. C. are at work. Nov 24-25 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted facts The way to dusty death. _Macbeth on hearing of his wife's death. THANKSGIVING RECESS School closes tomorrow afternoon for the Thanksgiving recess. Art we thankful? Well, we'll say we are; we shouldn't mind having Thanksgiving come about twice or three times a year. CHEMISTRY 1 Chemistry! Dig, dig, dig! Problems, notebooks, elements, experiments—every day of every week. Perhaps it is the hardest, most technical and bewildering of all subjects taught, yet each year the chemistry roll increases. There is a certain glamour and magnetism about chemistry that appeals to everyone. So many how's and why's are explained. So many things brought to light and made clear! The fact that one can do in the laboratory what it took years for scientists to do is sufficient in itself to cause the number of students to enlarge. With our chemistry teacher, how could one fail? The patience and fellowship exhibited in the chemistry classroom is wonderful. Every student in chemistry admires and appreciates Mr. Smith. ON CLUBS Clubs, they really get my goat; I don't know what to do; For what is one supposed to do When he belongs to two? Boost for this one, boost And boost the other one "Till I'm quite boosted in the air, Planning what can be done. HIGH SCHOOL BAND "Variety is the spice of life." Mr. Lammers, director of the O. H. S. band, seems to firmly believe in the above quotation, for he is teaching the band to play several types of music. In addition to the many marches, he is giving the band several selections from the most popular operas. Also, he is giving the boys popular pieces to play. By giving the band a variety of types of pieces to play he holds the interest of the band members and keeps them willing to work hard. Mr. Lammers certainly deserves a great deal of praise for the fine work he has done. NEW BUILDING Parents of students in O. H. S. should visit the school oftener than they do. If they did, they would undoubtedly recognize our great need for a new school building. The present one would be a disgrace to a community half the size of Ogden. We don't see how the city can boast of its progress without feeling rather conscience-smitten. But perhaps, some day we shall get a fine new building. Be patient, students, be patient. All things come to those who wait long enough. —W. O. FOOTBALL SEASON O. H. S. gridiron warriors have turned in their suits and look forward to the closing event of the season, the football banquet. This is probably the hardest fought game of the year, inasmuch as the promised dinner has a strong line and a fast backfield. Although the odds are heavily against us, we are betting on Ray Price and Frog Clarke to make big gains with line plunges. About 48 guests are participating tonight at 6:15 o'clock' in the great annual banquet. REDS Last Thursday and Friday all of those students who were selling tags for the matinee dance were struck by a very peculiar demand on the part of the purchasers. It was that practically every one of the two hundred and twenty-five that went to the dance demanded a red tag, although there were an equal number of cream and crimson tags for sale. What is the meaning of this? Does it show a tendency towards bolshevism? No, not so; the choice of the bull fighter's colors merely proved that we were mad; mad with joy at be-
