OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES 4-8-26 "When I meet one of these in¬quisitive fellows I am reminded of the old dog that was moving her family across a railroad track. One inquisitive pup stopped to stick his nose against the third rail. While he found out all there was about electricity, it never did him much good." KIWANIS HELPS. The Kiwanis club went on rec¬ord Thursday as willing to send six boys to Gary. This is rather magnanimous, we think, on the part of the club and is much ap¬preciated. We hardly expected so much—but of course would prefer a surprise of this sort instead of a disappointment of a less favor-able sort. THE ELKS, TOO. Some 10 days ago the R. O. T. C. played for the Elks' club and the members of that organization as¬sure us that hte club will do something handsome for the band. THE DRAMA CLUB. The Drama club has advised us that its members were willing to put on a play to help swell the band finances. Thus from many sources we get assurances of sup¬port and the trip is now assured. OTHER CLUBS. The Ladies' Literary club has sent us a check of $25, and we have been advised that the Sempre Musical club has voted the band $50. Central Junior High school assures us that the school will join the "Send a Boy" club. TODAY'S ASSEMBLY. At today's assembly the Sousa cup was to be presented to the band. This cup was won in a contest with the West High school, Salt Lake, some six weeks ago. George D. Pyper, who arranged and managed the contest, was to make the presentation. Acknowl¬edgement was to be made by Vice President Marian Ure, the band sponsor. The band program was to furnish the music for the pro¬gram. SLIPS. Extract from student's note book on Julius Caesar: "The charms of Cleopatra, queen of the Egyptians, vaccinated all those about her." What happened in 449 A. D.? "Then came the Angles and Saxons and drove the Britons into Whales." "Julius Seazer landed in Bri¬tain in 55 B. C. But he did not. stop. He went away and came back to conquer the island in 45 A. D." "Every sentence, personal name, and the name of God should be¬gin with a caterpillia." Define stoic, cynic, etc. "The stoic is the bold that brings the babies. The cynic is what you wash dishes in." Social note from a college paper: "Jimmie Moxon, who is a junior at the state university this year, will hibernate during the summer vacation at Sebetha, Kansas. TO ENTER CONTEST. Messrs. Garff Wilson and Grant Chandler are submitting written addresses to compete in a national oratorical contest. If either of these appeals to a national com¬mittee as being orations par ex-cellence—and of course we believe that one of these will—that wili mean, we presume, that we shall be privileged to send the author to Washington, D. C., to deliver the same. We shouldn't mind that a bit; in fact we have great hopes of doing that very thing. THOROUGH-GOING TEST. Teachers of the history depart¬ment have prepared a very thor¬ough "right or wrong" test for all; senior students since all such have been taking United States history during the year. The test com¬prises an even hundred questions and will adequately cover the en¬tire field of U. S. history. AN ENGLISH TEST. One hundred sentences contain¬ing all sorts of grammatical errors are being submitted to English classes this week to ascertain how well high school students are grounded in English grammar. The sentences were compiled by teachers of the Los Angeles schools and are of such nature as to give a thorough test. SCHOOL VS. PLAY. Extra curriculum activities re¬ceive perhaps more attention in "school notes" than does regular class work. One should not con¬clude, however, from this that the outside activities actually receive more attention than the class work. It means simply that out¬side work lends itself more readily to publicity than does class rout¬ine. JOURNALISM. It is believed that no school is doing better work in oral and written composition than the Og¬den High school. Nor is it be¬lieved that any high school is getting better Results in English teaching. The vast amount of tal¬ent that is found at the high school has led the English teach¬ers to feel that it would be ad¬visable next year to offer a course in journalism. It is quite likely that such a course wili be offered next year. THE DANCE TONIGHT. The R. O. T. C. band dance to be given at White City tonight will give all the students of school and all of the young people of Og¬den a chance to show their ap¬preciation of the band. The men and women of Ogden are respond¬ing most magnanimously and we believe the young people will be present tonight at the dance to contribute their share. The reg¬ular White City orchestra will furnish most of the music. SENIOR CONTEST. The literary staff of the year book announces the opening of a contest, the winning articles of which will be published in the year¬book. There are five dollar prizes for a short essay on western de-velopment, generalize; for a short story of 1200 words; and for a poem of local color depicting progress. Judges from outside the school will choose the best compositions, which must be in on Monday, April 19. For further informa¬tion see Mr. Newcomb or Blanche Scowcroft. GIRLS' BASKETBALL. Those who attended the girls' basketball game on Tuesday be¬tween Central Junior and the high school will have to admit that it was a fine game even if we did lose. The game was well played and the teams Avere evenly match¬ed, the score at the end of the first half being one to one. Cen¬tral made some good plays in the last half, so that the score was 7 to 4 at the end of the game. Wayne Dye's orchestra played for the matinee dance which was held after the game, and the Cen¬tral team, which won the inter-class series in girls' basketball en¬tertained the high school team and the president of the Girls' associa¬tion, Mabel Reynolds. Central has shown a fine spirit in the support she has given all high school activities, particularly in helping the Girls' association, in sending one member of the band to Gary. —Francis Hobbs
