A FAIR TEST In a certain economics class this week the instructor placed in review questions on the board and announced that 10 of those questions would be selected for a test review the next day. Doubtlessly the class reviewed the entire 30 questions, or at least those whose answers were not clear to them. They came to the class the next day and took the test. Every member of the class handed in a passing grade paper. The lowest mark given was 77, the highest 98. The mark was given on each and every answer so that the student knew exactly wherein he failed and wherein he succeeded. The following day, with their test papers before them, the teacher held an oral review. We are sure the pupils in this class understand the teacher's aim—to $0 teach the subject that all with proper study can meet the requirements and get a passing grade. To our mind this aim is much better than that theory of the College professor who says, "In this test there must be so many A's, so many B's, so many C's, so many failures." In high school we should like to impress students with the thought that it is not necessary to fail." SCHOOL DRAMA The school drama, "Seven Keys to Baldspate," will be presented at the Orpheum theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next week, December 8 and 9, under the direction of Miss Reva Beck. The play is to be presented two nights in order to accommodate students, patrons and friends. The following plan will be followed: Students will present coupon number eight (8) at the box office and receive a free ticket. Five hundred such coupons will be honored at each performance. Teachers and others who hold student body tickets will present the same and secure reserved seats in the same manner. The board of education will have the box on the right hand side as usual. The box office will be open Friday after 3:15 p. m., Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. The performance promises to be the most finished and satisfactory the school has ever given. Mon. Nov. 30th ’25 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES AFTER THANKSGIVING, WHAT? Why this, of course, from one of our prominent medical advisers, William S. Sadler: "Tens of thousands of people in this country are sick, grouchy, depressed and discouraged because of the constant overload they are carrying in their systems as a result of overeating. IMMUNIZATION. The board of education is offering free immunization treatment for diphtheria to all public school students. In accordance with this, the high school is sending out form letters today to parents. These, when properly signed, will authorize the school authorities to proceed with the treatment. The acceptance of the offer is wholly voluntary with the parents and no child will be given the treatment unless specifically authorized in writing by the parents. A circular letter from the county physician, Dr. Belnap, giving in detail the nature and purpose of the treatment is also being sent out. Again we say, "Surely de world do move." ASSEMBLY HOUR. There's a bounce, a step, a thundering roar, The halls are filled with cries; Out of the rooms the students pour. Some laugh while others sigh. Arms piled high with lots of books, The wild, wild crowd moves on, Some teachers receive a dirty look While others are smiled upon. There is a din, an awful noise, Among the students here; The whistling comes from all the boys, The peppy girls do cheer. What does it mean? Oh, say, These are the girls and boys And this is assembly day. IMPORTANT SURVEY. The advisor teachers conducted a very important survey today on the subject of home study and out-of-school work. It is considered advisable to know just how much school study is being done at home and also how much time is spent by students in other lines of work than study. ATHLETICS VS. STANDARDS. Recently much adverse criticism has been voiced by educators, philosophers, etc., on the purpose of the modern students in obtaining a college education. The ever increasing cry is that students no longer go to college for an education, but for a good time. In a more specific sense the plea is that the athletic end is superceding the academic end of the college life. Recent cartoons have voiced the prophecy of a college for athletics with a side line of academic studies. Patrons of the high school may safely rest assured that such is not the tendency of the high school. Indeed, the time spent on the athletics is decreasing rather than increasing. This is fact. However, it cannot be blamed on the students. The controlling directors of the high school are keeping up the high academical standard, much without the consent of the students. It is not for me, a student, to say whether it is the right attitude for the directors to take. I cannot speak with authenticity on the subject. I can merely tell the patrons that Ogden High school has not lowered its scholastic standards for the purpose of advancing athletics. JACKSON CUNNINGHAM. A NEW CLUB. In the near future there will be ushered into the O. H. S. a new club, whose members will consist entirely of French students. The main object of the club is to aid the members in the study of the French language. However the social side will not be forgotten, and at social meetings all conversation will be carried on in French. With Miss Alvord as our advisor we are sure j of having a snappy organization; so get out your goggles, you other clubs, because you are going to take the dust of the club of clubs KEN SKEEN. AFTER DINNER SPEECHES. Perhaps you have wondered what was the reason for the meetings held in room 302 and presided over by Mr. Robins. The pupils of his senior classes have for the last two weeks been delivering or trying to deliver after-dinner speeches. The classes were divided into sections, the members of which had to decide on and plan their banquet, then to appoint a toast master and to choose the subjects to be spoken on. Before the speeches were given it was supposed that every one had just participated in the eating of a delectable banquet. As a whole the speeches were interesting and well given. As you know, the purpose of the after-dinner speech is to provide entertainment during or after a banquet, or to transact business. The main reason for the study of after-dinner speaking in the classes is to prepare the pupils so that if they are called on at any time, in the future they will know the qualities of the after-dinner speech and how best to deliver it. The pupils have really tried to make their speeches good and have succeeded in making them interesting. PHYLLIS PELHAM. STATION R. A. Z. Z. Station R. A. Z. Z. I wish to do a bit of broadcasting. This is a puzzle. Think of the title after reading the theme. I love to come to school. Every morning I wake up at 5 o'clock, get up and get my lessons, and then wait, fairly 'tingling with anticipation for 8 o'clock, when I can start to school. I am never late That is, hardly ever. When I am I always tell the truth. I love my classes. I only wish they were longer. It wouldn't be bad to get out at 4 o'clock. Reciting is a pleasure. My hand fairly aches, I fling it so hard. Tests are my delight. I study far into the night. I never copy, It is a nasty, measly trick. When the assembly bell rings I ejaculate, "Oh sugar!" for assemblies break into the routine of my class work. My name is not Percival Galahad. I wish it were—it's such a nice name, and I am so like him. I am the pride, joy, brain, wit and main support of our family. I am papa's and mama's heroine, When report time comes I trip gaily home to show them my A's. I never disappoint them—in fact I never disappoint or displease anybody. But I guess I'd better sign off. By the way, the puzzle is to find what this is all about. ELEANOR FORD. JAZZ. Nowhere in our great country can we find a person who can not define jazz—in a vague way—for what other way can it be defined? The oldest and the youngest all have their definition of it. The word jazz was originally applied to popular music, the new word is given to numerous dances that are danced to that music. The younger generation in America knows nothing but jazz. All kinds of grammar except the right kind are used in the lyrics of popular pieces. Anything does, just so it is catchy. Rhyme is also an overworked essential. Not content with bad grammar, jazz selects choice words of slang, every kind from everywhere Often they put in a phrase or two of some famous composer. It is jazzed a little and then unrecognizable. American children are growing up without the knowledge of good music. If they are taken to a musicale they fidget and can hardly wait to leave. Americans fail to have the proper love and appreciation for good music. The public gets what it wants, jazz originators cry, "We strive to please." And don't you think there is in every person just a little bit of jazz? But let us learn to care for good music and graceful dancing. PHYLLIS HUSS. GOOD OLD DAYS. In those good old days, When teachers gave A's And luck and you worked together, When you'd play hooky from school And the teacher you'd fool, Them days is gone forever. EFFECTS OF THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving has come and gone! Some rejoice, others sigh. Regardless of all we find its effects deeply engraved upon its participants. "I don't see why the Pilgrims didn't have more feasts," are the remarks of many. Not that we want more holidays, but that the good spirit, and friendliness which accompany them is so gratifying and helpful to all. The slender person shouts for joy, the fleshy one sighs with grief, for in both cases the scales tip just a few pounds higher. Most every one witnessed the presence of their familiar friend Distress, once again playing his pranks. Many did not attend the dancing parties. A number of reserved seats at the theatre were unoccupied. The reason for these strange acts need not be made known. Of course there were scores of diet resolutions broken. Nevertheless the consequence was benefiting because next time they will realize the situation and therefore be better able to overcome the enticement. The reason that the "put off work" was not completed during the holidays simply can't be explained. But as you all know, there were so many other things to be done first. Cheer up, ye heavy laden, Christmas holidays will soon be here. BUELAH STRICKLER. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES THE SCHOOL ELECTION Much interest was manifested in the election of a school board member in district No. 4 on Wednesday. Two prominent men were nominated for the position and the contest was close. There were 733 votes cast. This was as it should be as it indicates a healthy interest in the schools. So far as we can learn, the policies of the two candidates are very much alike—the securing of better schools for Ogden. Both gentlemen are to be congratulated, Dr. Rich for being held in such high esteem after nine years of faithful service, and Mr. Foulger for the faith the people of the district have in him. The plan now in vogue of having but one new member elected to the board of education annually is a splendid one, as it always leaves four members of the board who are acquainted with all the details of school administration to initiate the new member and to assure a certain stability in the management of the public's greatest concern—the public schools. The office carries but little remuneration but very high responsibility and any man who aspires to the; position must necessarily be of sterling integrity and worth.
