mal—going right—until about Thursday of this week. Experience shows also that every week end is more or less weak end, for the attendance Friday afternoons is seldom as good as Thursday afternoons or Wednesday afternoons. Many get ill (?) on Friday afternoons; others get ready for Friday games or parties; others get ready to go out of town; still others have to attend a great uncle's funeral. Thus routine fails to be established in the lives of some students; some fail to develop that highly valuable trait of character of always being on the job—always dependable. The school asks the parents to co-operate in establishing routine that will hold throughout the week, and in creating the feeling that to succeed well in school or in life one must, above all things else, be DEPENDABLE. OGDEN HIGH I saw the mountains stand Silent and wonderful and grand, Looking out acros sthe land When the golden light was falling, On distant dome and spire; And I heard a low voice calling, Come up higher, come up higher, From the lowland and the mire, From the mist of earth's desire, From the vain pursuits of pelf, From the attitude of self, Come up higher, come up higher. —JAMES G. CLARK. NINTH AREA SHOOT The R. O. T. C. rifle team completed the Ninth corps area shoot Tuesday. The score, according to Captain Dockler, is very satisfactory—a better score, indeed, than was made a few years ago when we won the Hearst trophy. That score was 5221 out of a possible 6000, while the score made Tuesday is 5485. The 15 men comprising the team are Scott Kellogg, Kenneth Skeen, Lewis Terry, Frank Rose, Arthur Hales, Herbert Verheek, Louis Loughran, Delbert Teeter, Robert Craven, Delbert Poole, Llewelyn Christensen, Thomas Adams, Morris Allen, Albert Droesbeke and Francis Hales. The rules provide that 15 men may participate and that the score of the 10 high men represents the school. We feel that we stand an excellent show of winning the Ninth corps area championship and we shall do our level best also to win the Hearst trophy again. The boys deserve much credit for their faithful work in training and we hereby congratulate them on the splendid record they have made. LEARN TO APOLOGIZE In the old days "asking forgiveness" for violations of school regulations was quite the thing. Nowadays such a thing is never heard of. It probably never enters a teacher's mind to have a student ask forgiveness either of himself or of the class, which supposedly has been injured. We have, however, something far better in its place. Any breach of conduct or violation of social obligation is quickly realized and the offender almost delights in offering apologies. It has become second nature for one to say "I should not have done that, I trust you will accept my apology." This is regarded as a matter of courtesy only, and is quite universally regarded as the sane, sensible, proper thing to do. Oh, yes, the world do move, even though some people can not see. SPELLING AND WRITING A high school student in California complains that spelling and writing are not taught these days in high school. These subjects, especially spelling, are taught in our school, but never without an apology. It is felt that high school education is, as its name applies, high; at least a little higher than the elementary or ordinary education, and that to learn to spell and to write are assuredly, positively, absolutely the work of the elemenary school. One spends six years at least in learning to read, write and spell, and certainly in that time one should learn to do those simple things fairly well. It is much to the discredit of any high school student not to be able to spell all ordinary words and to write a fairly legible hand. A FINE CLUB Of the few high school clubs that have been formed for an educational purpose, the Ham-And club is probably the best; for in addition to the pleasure the members derive from the club meetings and its activities, they gain a knowledge of every phase of radio. Now to learn radio requires more clear and solid thinking than most people care to undertake; also, the subject demands an understanding of mathematics and electricity. As a by-product, so to speak, the 'Ham-Andorites' become well acquainted with parliamentary law and procedure and learn the fundamentals of public speaking; the members take turns speaking to the club on various subjects that are kindred to radio. All of those who are interested in radio and especially those who have original theories that they wish to propound are cordially invited to come to the club's regular Thursday night meetings. WARREN CROSS. Dear Mr. Merrill: A majority of our membership had occasion to hear the Ogden high school band at their public concert given in the tabernacle last Tuesday and our club would not be performing its full duty should it fail to take cognizance of this exceptional musical organization. As a civic club we are highly proud of its achievements and commend the fine spirit you are manifesting in promoting this worthy activity. We wish to convey our best wishes for the further success of your band and herewith offer our unanimous support in any way we might be of service. Very truly, The Ogden Lions' Club, By LAWRENCE H. EVANS, Secretary AT NORTH JUNIOR The dean of girls, Mrs. Gertrude C. Irwin gave an interesting and instructive talk before the girls at North junior high school this morning. A girls' association is being formed at North Junior, similar to the one at senior high. EXCURSION TO BRIGHAM Arrangements have been completed to have a special excursion run to Brigham City for the Box Elder-Ogden game Friday night. The school guarantees a good crowd, so that it is hoped that all students will avail themselves of the accommodations and go to Brigham City on the U. I. C. The round-trip ticket costs but 65 cents and will be on sale Thursday at the school. It's safe and cheap transportation. The special train will leave Ogden at 5:45 and will leave Brigham City, returning, at 9:30. INTERESTING TICKETS Mrs. Irwin showed her classes some rather interesting cards today. They were admission cards to the gallery of the United States senate April 7, 1868, and May 11, 1868. They were admissions to that most unusual event in United States history, "the impeachment of the president." FRIDAY EVENING FEBRUARY OGDEN HIGH Our peace must be heartened by eagerness, our zest calmed by serenity. If we follow the fire alone, we become restless and dissatisfied; if we seek only for peace, we become like the patient beasts of the field. —Arthur C. Benson. PRIZE BOOTH The booth that is usually considered the best at Classicalia and other school functions, the soda water booth, will not be auctioned this year, but will be withheld to be given as a prize to the organization that sells most tickets for the great Classicalia. This plan was decided upon at a meeting of the Classicalia committee on Wednesday afternoon. TO SELL TICKETS The difefrent clubs—not classes —of the school will engage in a great ticket selling contest for the Classicalia this year. At a stated time—to be announced later—the tickets will be given to the club officers and will be sold prior to Wednesday evening, 5 o'clock, March 17. The club which shall at that time have actually sold the largest number of tickets will be given the refreshment booth as a prize. GOOD PEDAGOGY A Scandinavian who had traveled over all the world and met all the various people, observed this one universal characteristic: "I find all people love lazy." He might have discovered, had he been a little more observant, that all men love kindness, good-will, praise, commendation. It is a knowledge of this second fact that seems to be guiding Supt. E. J. Milne in his able management of the state industrial school. He believes in boys; he encourages them; he commends them, and by so doing brings out the best in them. He has established honor clubs among the boys at the school, with presidents, vice presidents, secretary-treasurers and boards of directors. These officers work together for the establishment of a high morale in the groups. Naturally they succeed; and as they succeed, Superintendent Milne and his co-workers succeed, for the school is accomplishing the work for which it was established. AN HONOR PARTY In appreciation of the good work of the boys, Superintendent Milne gave an honor party at the school Wednesday evening for group A— 49 boys—whose conduct for 60 days had been entirely satisfactory. More than 50 young ladies from town and a number of townspeople were invited out as guests of the occasion. Dancing was the chief amusement of the evening and the way the young fellows entered into the spirit of the occasion was beautiful to see, and most encouraging to any one interested in the welfare of the school. GRADUATES A surprise of the evening was sprung by Superintendent Milne, when he called four young men from the ranks, and told them that they had met all the requirements of the school and were graduated to return to their homes. Two other young men were given a parole and will soon be privileged to return home. The moral of the story is this: The boys of the school are responding splendidly to the kind, considerate treatment, the wise pedagogy practiced by those in charge. INTERESTING LETTER The following letter was received today from the University of Utah: To the superintendents and principals of high schools: At a faculty meeting held February 1, 1926, it was decided that advanced algebra and solid geometry be required for entrance to the schools of mines and engineering of the University of Utah, effective September, 1927. If students are not prepared in advanced algebra and solid geometry by that date, the university will provide instruction in these subjects for at least a year or two, but advanced algebra and solid geometry taken at the university will not count for credit toward the engineering degree. It will also be possible for students to register for these subjects through the extension division. However, it must be understood that when students are doing full time high school work, credit will not be accepted for extension work done in addition to their regular school work. Students may take these subjects during summer vacation, or by taking fewer than the required number of high school units, may be permitted upon the recommendation of the principal to take these subjects through the extension division and receive credit toward entrance. Sincerely yours, GEORGE THOMAS. President. P. S.—This requirement is necessary to place the school of mines and engineering equal with other engineering schools in the way of entrance requirements. Of thirty-one leading engineering schools studied, twenty-nine are already making this requirement. WASHINGTON PILOT The Washington Junior High school has just mimeographed a neat 12-page paper, "The Washington Pilot," which gives a very good account of the school's activities. The paper furnishes five departments—literary, editorial, social, sports and humor. Miss Sylvia Jones is editor; Oscar Browning and Gordon Larson are business managers. The material presented is very creditable and the printing and art work is especially good. The paper is also supported by a goodly number of advertisers. We commend the enterprise of the Washington students in putting out such an excellent paper. BIG CROWD Ogden will send a big delegation over the U. I. C. tonight to Brigham City to help win the contest, and incidentally the division championship. It is quite likely that the tie-off game will be played at the Weber gymnasium on Tuesday evening next. Box Elder will then have to play Rich to secure entrance to the state tournament next week. CLASSICALIA PRIZES Prizes will be given this year at Classicalia for the most artistic booth, and also the booth that returns the largest net profit from the evening's sales. Prizes will also be given as usual for the best costumed gentleman and the best costumed lady. TODAY'S ASSEMBLY Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Young of Salt Lake will furnish the program at high school today. Mr. Young is a prominent business man of Salt Lake and will speak upon the subject "The Quest of Happiness," Mrs. Young is a well-known singer and will favor us with several solos. OGDEN HIGH ARE WE LIVING? In summer, when we idly watch the leaves, Skipping, dancing, with not a thing to do, But play with friendly clouds of filmy hue, Each tossed and turned alike by summer's breeze; Still a moment, and then the wind will seize Them, and begin the senseless dance anew, We say, "O foolish leaves, pray why do you Fritter your life away on vagrant breeze? But so it is with some of us, we dip But lightly into the many things which Count. We play, dance, and taste the joys of life. We think that we are living, but we skip The deeper things that make life really rich— The pain; the fear; the work; the toil; the strife. —Maude M. Milne.
