Happens to give an A minus or a B plus. We can appreciate their attitude, but yet we would warn them against taking the matter too seriously. If one get naught but As in high school what will he do when he goes to college and the cold hearted professor doles him out a few Cs and perhaps a D or two? No use saying, “I’m going to get all As in college, too.” This usually doesn’t happen. Many professors say “There ain’t such an animal as an A student in college.” Anyway the student who is doing his very best should be satisfied whether his marks be As, S, or Cs. Tuesday Evening OGDEN HIGH “With ordinary talent and extraordinary determination all things are obtainable.” DOING ONE’S BEST The principal reported at faculty meeting Monday evening that the autobiographies being written by the seniors make unusually interesting reading and are very well done. “They show effort and painstaking care,” said he, “and I wish the advisors to compliment the students on this splendid piece of work.” Growth comes through effort and we are quite sure that the students who have written these stories are just a little stronger, just a little better students for the efforts they put forth. All education is based upon the principle of doing just a little bit better work today than we were capable of yesterday. BAND AT LOGAN Ogden High will be better known in Logan at both high school and the Agricultural college for the visit being made by the band today. It is good advertising. IN CALIFORNIA There was a flurry of excitement among both teachers and students at the high school on account of the holiday rates to California. All seem to want to go to the coast to pass the vacation and many say they are going. At faculty meeting Monday evening eight teachers expressed their intention of going, providing the rate is good on Wednesday, December 23. TO HEAR THE BAND The radio show conducted at the Egyptian theatre this week has attracted a great deal of attention and much worthy commendation. The exhibit is sponsored by the “Ham And club of the high school and reflects much credit on the live organization. The boys are much interested in the subject and are working to good purpose. They propose closing the week’s performance in a halo of glory and expect to offer as an added attraction the famous R. O. T. C. band. This will give Ogden people a fine opportunity to hear this fine aggregation of young musicians. TEACHERS GETTIN’ OUT. Written after the style of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “The Lamplighter.” Christmas eve is now upon us and the sun has left the sky; It’s time to take the window to see Dinty going by; For at the hour of bed time, Dinty’s going to call, To try to help me out to the Sausage Grinder’s ball. Now Maggie wouldn’t like it, for she hates the “Mooreish” crowd. She says they’re very crude and particularly loud; But I, if I were stronger and could choose what I would do, Oh Dinty, I’d get out at night, and make the rounds with you. For it seems that I’m unlucky, with my tall and husky wife; She guards me with an eagle eye, she rules my very life. But as you hurriedly sneak along with ladder and with light, Oh, Dinty, see a handpacked man and help him out tonight. --Naomi Wilbur. H. C. REPORT. The H. C. club held its regular meeting last Thursday afternoon. The feature of the program was a talk by Mr. Stuart, on the practical application of art. He explained that "art" need not be a vague, meaningless term, understood only by "intellectuals," but that art has many uses in everyday life—in the exercise of good taste, and good judgment. The talk was very interesting as well as instructive and was enjoyed by everyone. Miss Helen Cortez, the former advisor of H. C., will be in Ogden during the Christmas holidays, and plans are being made for a party to be held while she is here. The meeting was very well attended. H. C. is progressing in unity, size and pep and at the same time, paying even more attention to the serious purpose of the club. We do not doubt that it will hold easily its high place among the high school clubs. Winifred McConnell. UNIFORM FOR GIRLS. Whether high school girls should have uniforms or not is a subject which is widely discussed by parents and the public in general and is worthy of consideration. The girl who learns early in life how to dress modestly and quietly will achieve a great deal more in every line than one who goes about looking like a "fashion plate." If she expects to go out in the business world and meet the public she must dress sensibly in clothes which are plain and business-like. Many a girl who has come to work in an office in a party gown and high-heeled, satin slippers has lost a situation when she was perfectly capable, simply because she did not know how to dress in keeping with her work. Even if a girl can afford to wear elaborate dresses to school it is not good taste. Then to think of the girls who cannot wear such good dresses. It makes them dissatisfied with their lot in life, as all girls have not strength of character at this age to refuse to be influenced by such trivial things, which may result in their not completing school. MIND ON WORK. Most mothers try to impress upon the girl that it isn't the clothes that count but her diligence, ability and effort in school. One cannot be efficient in her studies with her mind on rouge, lipsticks and a fashion plate. These are all right and proper in their place, but the school room is not the place to display them. If the girls wore uniforms a more kindred feeling of fellowship would be aroused. No one girl would be made to feel the comparison of dress. A girl shouldn't be judged by her clothes. Her talents and industry should be recognized. While we are in high school we are forming habits which will go with us all through our lives and it is tolerance and our principle which counts, not the clothes we wear. —Pearl Westemeir. TICKETS FOR "STRUT." The tickets for the "Seniors Santa Claus Strut" went on sale Monday. The fact that no tickets will be sold at the door, and also that a limited number is to be sold, seems to have influenced a great many students, for already the tickets are going fast. Those students who have not yet purchased had better do so quickly, or they may not have a chance. The ticket representatives for the different clubs and classes are: General committee, Garff Wilson, chairman; Mary Hinckley, Bill Moore, Bob Craven; Gamma Kappa: Ruth Craven; Ham And: Ralph Stevenson; Forum, Ed Hall; H. C.: Janet Farnsworth; Stellae, Beth Winkler; Glee club, Frances Hales and Elwin Blackburn; sophomores: Virgina Anderson; Juniors, Arthur Hales; Seniors: Lee Newman, Joe Irvine, Virgil Swenson, Earl Rushmer, Elinor Weeks, Helen Vogel, Arthur Farley, Jack Comer, Gib Beck; representatievs at Weber: Frank Mauritsen, Marion Wallace. The general dance committee also has tickets also the alumni may purchase from Culley's drug store. NIGHT. There are times in the still of the night When the moon is on high in the sky, And the stars shine, and in silence dance, And the winds and river sigh. When the tree-tops form fanciful tableaus, Again the breezes murmurs low, And the sage owl moans to all the world Its long, weird tale of woe. It is then, in the calm, mystic night, When all is still, else serene, That your Maker touches your soul And would make it pure and clean. Then the call of the Great stirs your being And you feel the strange charm of the night, When the eyes of Heaven shine on you— On you, beneath in their light. —Naomi Wilbur. Dec 16 - 25 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES As every school boy knows, Julius Caesar made his famous report in three sentences—six words—"I came, I saw. I conquered." The band's visit to Logan Tuesday may be likewise reported—They went. They played. They conquered. They appeared at the Logan High school at 11 o'clock and at the agricultural college at 1:15. At cach institution they gave a most delightful, artistic program that simply captured the hearts of teachers, students, townspeople of Logan, All expressed surprise and sincere admiration for the very wonderful treaty offered. Naturally, Hy Lammers, the efficient leader, was singled out for highest compliment, for he is the one directly responsible for giving Ogden High school one of the very best bands in the country. As many people remarked Tuesday: "They do not play like high school boys but like professionals." One teacher remarked: "That reminds me more of Sousa's famous band than any have heard in years. Ogden should indeed be proud of that splendid aggregation of musicians." IN APPRECIATION We have pleasure in expressing our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Kilstrom, who accompanied the band to Logan Tuesday and played two wonderful saxophone soles at each concert. Some people say the saxophone isn't really a musical instrument, but it surely become one in the hands of Mr. Kilstrom. We express thanks also to Hon. Frank Francis, Charles Empey, Mr. Williams, Principal F. T. Wiggins and others who made the trip with us and made it such a success. HEAR BAND TONIGHT Unless plans miscarry, Ogden people will have the opportunity of hearing our splendid band at the Egyptian theatre tonight at 7 o'clock. Several of the boys are engaged during the evenings after 8 o'clock so that the band can make but one appearance from 7 to 8 o'clock. COUNCIL REPORT December 15, 1925. The meeting was called to order by the president. Roll was called and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved.

C. club constitution was read and accepted with the reservation that "shall" be Inserted in place of "may" in Article IX, which pertains to the power of the executive committee. The constitution of the French club was presented and read to the council. It was moved and seconded that the constitution be remanded to the club for revision and then returned to the council for consideration. Meeting adjourned. HERBERT VERHEEK, Secretary. THE NEED OF CLUBS No school is complete without a number of clubs. Clubs arouse school spirit and promote activities. The only fault of the clubs is that there are certain pupils who are in every one of them. It is a duty of the school to help the new pupils to get into the clubs. The seniors should ask more of the juniors and sophomores to join them. The seniors' think that when they have graduated the juniors can take their place, but the juniors will not know how to organize a club or even know how to got into one. Therefore the seniors and members of the faculty should help the new pupil.—Donna Ramsden. EUGENE FIELD'S HOUSE Tho the little toy dog must desert his post, And the tin soldier march away. Tho the gingham dog, or perhaps his ghost, Must now on an ash heap lay. Tho the house of tho poet must fall to the ground; And commercialism sever each tie Of love and memory twined around; And fancy fade and die. Tho the long kept literary shrine Of the children's patron saint so dear, Turned into an apartment house may bear the sign, "No children wanted here." Still in our memories we'll sing his praise For Gene Field our love will abide; From our hearts a mighty tribute we'll raise To him on the other side. —NAOMI WILBURR. WHAT SOPHOMORE HEARS "Oh! Hello, Dorothy. I was looking for you. Are you going to club meeting tonight?" "I suppose so," answered Dorothy, as if she didn't care whether she went or not. Near by a poor lonesome sophomore was standing, listening to the conversation, wishing with all her heart that she could belong to one of the clubs, and thinking how she would have answered that question. Going from her locker down the hall, she saw a group of boys and girls talking very earnestly about something they were going to do that night. Of course none of them were sophomores; they were either juniors or seniors. As she went along she thought of what she would do when she becomes a senior and how she would treat the sophomores.
