McConnell, Jean Warner, Wilma Bailey, Merle Stallings, Margaret Schmalz, Adelaide Smith, Ramona King. The first prize will be a beautiful gold emblem. Music will be furnished by Viola Anderson and Maurine Peck. TODAY'S ASSEMBLY. The assembly held at high school today at 11:15 o'clock, consisted of instrumental solo, Claude Snooks; address, air. Van Buren, director of Weber gym, and a selection by the Glee club. SPRING CLASSICUM. We spoke Thursday of the spring Classicum. In a sociology class that day the students were allowed to tell in writing what they thought of the issue. Many complimentary tributes were paid but of course there were a few brick bouquets. We are printing here a few of the comments. COMMENTS. "The spring Classicum was not so good as the Christmas issue. It was, like most of its themes, full of spring fever." "The Classicum jokes are always about the same students." "The object, I suppose, of this paper is to let the rest of the school know what the elite or social four hundred are doing." "It makes little difference to me whether the clubs go on a bob-party or whether they break their necks; their doings could well be left out of the paper. I believe the athletic section should have more kick and space." I think the object of the school magazine is to show those who are not taking any part in school what they are missing." "The most interesting part of the magazine is the jokes, because about one-tenth of them are new." "There were jokes about spring; stories, funny, dreamy, poetic, about spring, until, at last when I reached 'Atmosphere,' I drew a sigh of relief to know that at least there was one department that didn't have anything about spring." "I think this issue of the Classicum is not so good as others we have issued. There are too many silly poems and essays about spring in it. I like to hear about spring and all that, but there was too much in this issue." GARY OR BUST. It's possible to go Gary. All things are possible to those who will. We can go to Gary and to many other places if we wish, as there are business men both in Ogden and Salt Lake who would finance the trip, assuming all obligations if the band would agree to sign a contract for a number of engagements throughout the cast. Of course this isn't just what we want to do. We wish to go to Gary under the auspices of Ogden, or Ogden chamber of commerce, or Ogden civic clubs, or Ogden business men, to advertise the school, the community and the state. We can only spare ten days for the trip and we just want to tell the world what a wonderful band we've got. That's all. Would it pay? Well, I'll say it would pay! OGDEN HIGH 3-1 Oh, the stirring and rough and impetuous song— The song of the heart that dares That keeps to its creed and gives no heed To the faces that fortune wears! That heart that laughs when the foe is met— And thrives and fires at taunt and threat, And finds no toiling or traveling long— For the sake of the good it bears. —Sweeney. MEDAL WINNERS. On Friday afternoon Miss Jean Warner and Miss Merle Stallings each wore a beautiful gold medal for patriotic addresses given by the D. A. R. society of Ogden. On Wednesday evening last, Mr. Grant Chandler won a medal in the same sort of concert offered by the S. A. R. of Ogden. We express to the members or both the S. A. R. and the D. A. R. our thanks and appreciation for arranging these contests and for the medals. We trust our efforts met their approval and that they will find pleasure in continuing the annual contests. We believe they are productive of much good. DEMOCRACY POSSIBLE. The students in sociology classes were given opportunity last week to write their reactions to the Spring Classicum. One criticism was "that too few students are represented in the Classicum; that a select few are too much represented; that the great mass of students are practically ignored, etc." We wonder if it can be made otherwise. Isn't it true in life everywhere in political, religious, social, industrial, life—the few direct and control, while the great masses are quite negligible? John Lord says that "history is but the lengthened shadows of a few of the world's great men." BAND PICTURE. The Scoville Press was instrumental in having a photograph of the R. O. T. C. band taken Sunday. The band has attracted so much attention of late that this photograph will probably come in. very handy in advertising Utah during the next six months. TO BE BANQUETED. The wonderfully fine record of the basketball team during the season just closing has so recommended the boys to the people of Ogden that the board of education will, in all probability, arrange to give a dinner in honor of the boys during the present week. WINNING NOT ALL. For a few minutes after the game Saturday night, it was very difficult for any Ogdenite to realize that "winning is not the most important thing in basketball." We did so want to win that game; we did so feel that we should win, that we could hardly reconcile ourselves to losing on a single point. There were, however, two or three good boosters, however, who said, "Wasn't it wonderful. Didn't the boys do well? Let's congratulate them, etc," that the rest of us began to get our bearings and to realize that we have occasion to be very grateful for second place, where competition is so keen. The team was the big surprise of the tournament and thousands are complimenting and praising the boys for their splendid work. "The great sport of basketball has accomplished its great work of education, entertainment, man-building" during the season and Ogden High has every reason to be proud of its fine accomplishment. CLASSICALIA NEXT. Out of school hours this week will be devoted to our great annual carnival—the Classicalia. On Saturday night we shall gather— more than 2,000 in the great frolic. We may be somewhat dumb, dull, stupid or slow the rest of the year, but on Classicalia night we shall be very much alive and shall enter whole-heartedly into the spirit of fun-making and wholesome enjoyment. BAND CONCERT. The R. O. T. C. band has definitely decided to test out Ogden's support of the greatest band the city has ever known, by offering a concert at the high school on Wednesday evening, March 24, at 8 o'clock. The R. O. T. C. boys will be enlisted in advertising this great event, and in soliciting financial support. Each boy will be given tickets to sell to friends who are interested in the encouragement and development of the band. The tickets will be placed at one dollar each—within the range of the great mass of people—and if the response is as generous as we expect, we shall create, by this concert a nucleus for a fund to transport the boys to Gary to participate in the great band contest. Come on Ogden, let's go! CRIME AND EDUCATION. Is our classical education of today teaching the students how to live? Geometry and Latin will not cure him of his bad habits, nor will algebra and history help him to be clean, brave and reliable. Only one kind of education is of any account for a bad student; it is the kind that educates him to live. Without some goal, some object toward which our thoughts, energies and hopes bend, life is not worth very much. By and by we begin to hate ourselves, and others are inclined to make it unanimous. We must learn that "there is more stimulus in a great aim than in any other intoxicant." When a man "commits a crime, it is simply because he doesn't know how to live. If he can be made to see the wrongness of his act, and saved the shame of exposure, he may never be guilty of a similar deed again. But if he is locked up in prison, where he is forced still lower in degradation, society is doing its best to force him to remain a criminal. Think of all the restless, worried, morbid, complaining creatures, who simply need a few primary lessons in the art of living! Wouldn't it pay to teach them how to live, before they become criminals? Here are a few subjects to be drilled in: "How to play fair; how to control my temper; how to find pleasure in common things; how to curb selfishness and develop an altruistic feeling; how to work so as to make work a pleasure," etc. Why don't we do away with the stupid notion that some men are all bad and others all good? Let us take the stand that we are all human. WILMA RUBENSTEIN. 3-17-26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES It is easier, pleasanter far to live in sweet peace, And let the world rage as it will Owing no one a grudge, no matter whatever they do; Never wishing another an ill, For this wish as a poison may envelop your life, Fill all of your days you'll know nothing but strife. —Delia Pinney. ZERO. On a certain teacher's board is seen this; "Absence makes the marks grow rounder." On another: "Park your gum on the window sill; you can get it after class." HOLIDAYS. Mostly people who work for other people keep holidays. Working for yourself you are too busy. SUCCESS. Success is a variable quantity. With one man it consists of making a million dollars; with another, in keeping out of jail. NEW UNIFORMS. Sergeant John Mayer of the high school is the first official in Ogden to wear the new army uniform. The most noticeable thing about this uniform is the open coat collar with lapels much like the ordinary civilian coat. The uniform looks less military than the regular uniform, but is said to be more comfortable. It is very much like the English uniform—is probably patterned after it. The boys are hoping they will be given the new uniform next year, though it is said that the war material is not yet used up, so that it is not likely their desires will be gratified so soon. COMMITTEES BUSY. The entire student body and faculty are divided this week into numerous Classicalia committees and all are very busy preparing for the great annual carnival. RADIO CLASS. The high school has made radio instruction a regular part of the school work. The radio class is now interesting itself in broadcasting from one end of the shop and receiving at the other end. Mr. Child, the instructor, reports a very keen interest in the subject. POSTPONED. The student body council was not held Tuesday on account of the many committee meetings on Classicalia affairs. THE TOURNAMENT. The word that Ogden might get an invitation to the national basketball tournament at Chicago as a runner-up team has aroused a very great deal of interest among local people. Of course, there is no use of refusing the invitation before it comes, but we think the chances of its coming are not very great. If it does come, why we might consider it, at any rate. We still believe we have a very exceptional team. BANQUET MENU. The board of education will give a banquet tonight to the basketball boys in appreciation of the wonderfully fine record of the season. The dinner will be prepared and served by the girls of the domestic science department under the direction of Miss Merle Chipman. The menu is as follows. Fruit Cocktail Roast Veal Dressing Brown Gravy Mashed Potatoes Buttered String Beans Plum Conserve Clover Leaf Rolls Sweet Pickles Olives Spring Salad Lemon Sherbet Angel Food Cake Coffee Nuts CONTEST CLOSES. The Classicalia ticket sale contest closes today at 5 o'clock. Several of the clubs have pushed the ticket sale during the past three days for the purpose of ascertaining which club should have the refreshment booth at the Classicalia. The booth was offered as a prize to the club selling the most tickets. COME ALL. Tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 8:15 o'clock Lawrence Haight, the operator of radio station KFWA will deliver a talk on radio broadcasting to the Ham-And club. Mr. Haight will ex plain what happens between the microphone and the receiving antennae. As we know that this talk will prove exceedingly interesting, we cordially invite everybody to come to the upper western part of the high school building at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. If you will bring your radio troubles with you we will help you get rid of them. —Warren Cross, Reporter. OUR SPEECH. English is regarded as the most fundamental subject of both elementary and high school education. This statement is based primarily on the fact that more time is allotted to it than any other subject during the 12 years. And yet, somehow, the schools do not succeed in getting students, generally speaking, so interested in the mother tongue that they take any great pride in it. Students do not feel as did the person who said, "The English language is a rich inheritance. It is like a beautifully made musical instrument, handed down from generation to generation, and prized by the family which conies into possession of it. It should not be marred by careless usage." If only we might develop such a pride in our language that we should be ashamed to misuse it we should in a generation or two, have only correct and beautiful English a songummation devout-
