ident of the republic a few decades from now. Vocational guidance is bound to have its limitations. But every boy knows one destiny which awaits him: He is going to be a citizen in a free land. He must learn to work and play and live with his fellows."— Buffalo Post. CLASSIC ALIA NEXT The next great high school function is the Classicalia scheduled for March 20. At the council tonight committees will be appointed to begin arrangements for this gala affair—the biggest of the year. THE BAND CONCERT Perhaps you have heard the R. O. T. C. band. What of it? You'll want to hear it again. Many students hear it every morning in practice and they say they never tire—but enjoy it more and more. Remember, the time and place "Wednesday night, 8 o'clock, Tabernacle." THE FINE ART Mathematics is often spoken of as an exact science. This term, it seems to us is quite applicable to all subjects if only instructor and students care to so regard them. Students in the music department, for example, who are to produce the proper tones at the right time either vocally or instrumentally must surely regard music as one of the most technical, exact, of all sciences. The slightest variation produces disharmony and is fatal to artistic production. One may consider this for instance, tomorrow night when 56 boys under Mr. Lammers will play more than a dozen different sorts of instruments producing a harmony that is exquisitely beautiful. Only those who have gone through the necessary practice can appreciate the difficulties, the time, the hard work that are necessary to secure the desired results. We must compliment the boys who take part in this wonderful organization and who are giving us such fine music. THE NORTHERN LIGHT The valentine issue of Northern Light (North Junior) was received Monday at the high school. It is particularly well edited. The cover page presents a neat cut of "Northern Light" in black and white drawn by Henry Tannone. The center pages give a very fine picture of the basketball team and coach. The news columns give us a Jot of information about what's doing at the school, school play, honor rolls, military hops, girl programs, basketball games, etc. OIL PRODUCTS Instructor George Bergstrom of the auto mechanics department has received a complete case (20 bottles) of Texaco oil products. These include oil, gas, petroleum, naptha, wax, etc., all in various stages of preparation, and will be very useful in his classes in understanding the nature and composition of these products. Acknowledgement and thanks are hereby given to the Texaco company for this valuable contribution. OFFER AWARD The Ogden Standard-Examiner is offering this year a gold medal to the best all-round athlete in the Ogden High school. Not only this, the management purposes making this an annual affair. This offer is very much appreciated by the school. It gives the athletes something to work for. The high school athletic committee, David Wangsgaard, D. O. Peterson, Claude Coray, Dixon Kapple and Al Warden of The Standard-Examiner, will act as judges. A DREAM I strolled o'er the spacious campus, breathing the fragrant flower-scented, spring air and admiring the beautiful spring flowers. As I approached the main school building, I paused a moment to study the decorative marble frieze; then I climbed the marble steps, pushed open the massive door and came into the spacious halls. How beautiful the pictures looked with that peaceful background and how proud I felt of the handsome trophy case! I went, next, to the art studio, took my seat by the window and painted, with plenty of elbow room and an ideal light. When I was interrupted by the bell, I swung my work into my own art-locker, and I went over to the gymnasium building. I prepared for the class, with not uncomfortable haste, in the large dressing room adjoining the gym. When class was called, I rejoiced in the fun of taking exercise m a fully-equipped gymnasium. And how invigorating was the feeling of the cool shower after my strenuous exertion! When I went back to the main building to my next class. I had the feeling that I could pass any test that any teacher could give. It is a wonderful feeling. And so, through the day, each class was a joy! One, being small, was held out on the campus, under a spreading oak. At the close of school we gathered in our beautiful auditorium for an assembly. And I heard every bit of the program distinctly. I was loath to leave the restful, beautiful building, but such is life, so I walked flown the steps, over the campus, and away from the Ogden High school. ELEANOR WEEKS. 2-17 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES SOCIAL STANDING. The spread of learning calls for in equalization in our social status and education must establish it. In this country, where a laborer today becomes a bank president; tomorrow, where a shop mechanic lifts himself to a motor magnate; where the self-made rise suddenly from obscurity to prominence, there is needed a new social recognition for all honorable occupations. Educational tendencies must not be controlled by, but must control that social standing. —Tarentum News. ENGLISH GRAMMAR. In recent years there has been awakened or aroused in the students at the high, school a real interest in English grammar. About two hundred advanced students are now applying themselves to the mastery of the fundamental facts and basic principles of this subject. Formerly these same students thought grammar dry, illogical, senseless, useless. Now they find it interesting, logical, reasonable, immensely worth while. They are beginning to appreciate that a command of one's vernacular is one of the finest arts, and to know the whys and wherefores of "good usage" is the first mark of an educated person. We regard this condition as altogether hopeful. NEW BOOKS. Two copies of "The Family Tree," by Albert E. Wiggam, were placed on the library shelves Tuesday as reference works for the classes in eugenics. Dr. Wiggam's one of our best and most popular writers on scientific subjects, and the students will find these books both interesting and helpful, Certainly no subject is of higher importance than that of "Building a Better Race," which is ably treated in these volumes. LOOKING TO COLLEGE. Warren Cross made formal application Tuesday to enter Stanford university. This school with its limited enrollment selects only students of promising scholarship and consequently it is a distinct honor to be allowed to matriculate. Applications must be made early as the quota is filled some six months in advance of registration day. Miss Helen Grace made application also for entrance to the University of California through a Thompson scholarship. Miss Helen's grades at high school are such as to justify one in believing that the coveted scholarship will be given her. ART AND LIVING. "Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, onward through life he goes,' says Longfellow. Of whom we have forgotten, but anyway we know the words may be applied to anyone' who will be rated a "SUCC33S." To attain distinction is not a matter of chance, nor is it a matter of inheritance. It is a "matter of sacrifice, toil, hope, courage, determination and everlasting stick-to-it-ive-ness. It is to know toe goal toward which one is moving, and to be eternally vigilant A few years ago the World was charmed by the performances of one of the greatest pianists of all time—Paderewski. When the world war broke out this great artist returned to his native land and became quite as distinguished as a patriot as he was as an artist. He has recently returned to his art and it is well worth one's time to reconsider and study a rather remarkable editorial written of him some 10 years ago. It follows: PADEREWSKI. "In the perfection of his gift he live? in a world remote. In the rest of us the touch is heavy, the product of toil is ragged. He works in ultimate things. Doubtless, in the early days, he must have known the patience and toil of gray, unmelodious hours, the five-finger exercises that labored Up and down the stubborn keys. There must have been an eternal beleaguering of the piano. He must have clamored at the unresponsive octaves and the recalcitrant tones. All these forgotten labors are woven into the texture of his cloth of gold. To our duller ears seems in easy control of the thunders. At the crown and summit of his fame, as the world is listening to his music, he is gentle, reticent and scornful of ease. There is no arrogance. To his inner sight the heights and depths of his art lie all unconquered. In his mind forever ring choruses that will never emerge on the keyboard. Unseen, far-heard, the music that never was in mortal reach drifts in upon him. Unrendered, it echoes through the heart of the artist, and torments him, waking and dreaming. He is kept humble by profundities which he feels but can never fathom." VICTORY GAINED BY O.H.S. BAND 2-4-26 Not Aware of Identity, Sousa Decides By Point System Ogden High school band, playing against West High school band in Salt Lake late Wednesday afternoon, won the silver loving cup. "The contest was very close; either of the excellent bands should win in any amateur contest," said John Philip Sousa. "In making a decision, I wish to say this is just my opinion. In considering the selections I had the following in mind: Intonation, interpretation, balance, attack and release and conductorship. "I gave a possible 50 points to each selection, a total of one hundred fifty. The first band received 38 points on the first selection, 36 points on the second, and 37 points on the third. Total, 111. The second band 36 points on first, 42 on second and 36 on third. Total, 114 points. I do not know which is the Salt Lake or which the Ogden band. I call them dimply first and second, and render the decision according to my best judgbent." The West band played first Sempre Fidelis, second a march and third a medley. The Ogden band played Sempre Fidelis, Medley and The Stars and Stripes. Only one number was optional, the others prescribed. CHAMBER INTERSESTED President W. H. Harris of the chamber of commerce, upon verification Wednesday night of the report that the R. O. T. C. band had won the contest in Salt Lake, sent his congratulations to the high school INTERSTED AUDITORS The following Ogden People were present at the band concert Wednesday: President Wade Johnson and Member J.
