OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES April 12-26 "Like the light of the sun, criti¬cism should reveal ugliness, but it should help, also, to build up the spirit: of fellowship and co¬operation in society."—Governor Theodore Christensen. The old idea of the little red schoolhouse variety is as extinct as the buggy horse.—Lincoln Daily Journal. Despite all of the fads and de¬tours with which modern educa¬tion is afflicted, it is doubtful whether it is possible to waste public money on education.—Her¬ald, Grand Rapids. "HERMIT OF HAWAII" In our enthusiasm for the R. O. T. C. band we beg that Ogden people will not forget that the high school has a very fine or¬chestra and also some very splen¬did choruses. These organizations have worked hard during the year, and on Wednesday night, April 28, we are to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The comic, artis¬tic, charming opera, "The Hermit of Hawaii," will be presented that night at the Paramount the¬atre. The house should be filled to capacity to enjoy this great mu¬sical treat. "I believe this to be the finest opera I have ever staged," says Reed Gammell, musical director. AT ASSEMBLY "I congratulate your school on having come down to Salt Lake and defeated the band that had won state honors. "As I listen to this band today, and look upon the leader, my memory runs back to 30 years ago when I heard Sousa's band. I think of Mr. Lammers as being what Sousa was 30 years ago. "I congratulate you upon your ambition to send this band to Gary, Ind., to engage in a na¬tional contest. These boys will do the state honor. I wish them success, and I hope they'll bring you back a silver cup—not just like this one I am presenting you —but one big enough for you all to take a bath in,"—George D, Pyper. THE GLEN CUP George Glen has presented a cup. to be given to the band mem¬ber who makes the best record in the band and also "in his school work during the present year. The winner must meet the reg¬ular scholastic requirements that are made of all school" contestants, i. e., must be carrying successful¬ly with good grades three or more subjects. He need not be the most proficient player, but he must show the greatest progress during the year. REPRESENTS O. H. S. Garff Wilson will represent Og¬den High school in the national contest in oratory. This was de¬cided by a very keen contest held at the high school on Friday eve¬ning, last Professor Myers of Weber college acted as judge and experienced no little difficulty in deciding which student should represent the school. HIGH SCHOOL DAY The Utah Agricultural college has designated Friday, May 7, as annual High School day at the college and has invited the seniors and the teachers of the high school to be the guests of the col¬lege on that day. Plans call for competition among high school students in some types of schol¬astic work. TO VISIT SCHOOL President E. G. Peterson has announced that some member of the Utah Agricultural college, and possibly some musicians of the school., will visit the high school during the present month. THE BOWENS VISIT The high school was favored on Friday with a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Bowen, former graduates. Mr. and Mrs. Bowen are located at Sparks, Nevada. PROBABLY OLD, BUT—- The kind old gentleman met his little friend, Willie, one very hot day. "Hello, Willie," he exclaimed. "And how is your dear old grand¬pa standing the heat?" "Ain't heard yet," said Willie. "He's only been dead a week." That's it," exclaimed Mrs. Mat- kins at the concert, as the sing¬ers came out in response to an encore. "Make 'em do it over again until they get the thing right." A teacher asked her class to write an essay on London. She was surprised the next day to read from one of the papers: "The | people of London are noted for their stupidity." The young author was asked how he got that information "Please, Miss, it says in the text¬book the population of London is very dense." EDITING NEWSPAPERS One of the English teachers has succeeded in doing some rather clever and original work—that of editing newspapers. Each student edits a paper by himself, includ¬ing foreign news, local news, edi-torials, spot news, advertising, etc. Such titles as "The Ogden Her¬ald," "The Daily Mirror," "The Star," "The Rocky Mountain Times," etc., are given to these various publications. Some of them were edited on April 1, giv¬ing students latitude in publish¬ing news items that would be most interesting news for any one of the 364 other days of the year. That students have good ideas of display, the heading and ar¬rangement, is shown in many of the papers. The following first page taken from "The Ogden Herald," edited by Carma Hunsaker, is typical: THE OGDEN HERALD Ogden to Have New High School. Work. On Long-Desired Building To Begin Soon. Greek Colossal Architecture to Be Chief Style of Ogden's New Credit. OGDEN, April 1.—Last night the school board held final con¬ference concerning the new high school. The decision was not pronounced affirmative until last evening, although the question, "Ogden Should Have a New High School," has been the purpose or the two meetings, previous to last night, held March 27 and 29. The decision was decided affirmatively, due to the efforts put forth by certain men of this city who saw the need of the construction. Great credit is to be given to Mr. A. P. Bigelow, president of the Ogden State bank, for his boost¬ing for Ogden's new high school; to Arthur Shreeves, architect, for the new building; Karl Hopkins, superintendent of Ogden City schools; Mr. A. M. Merrill, princi¬pal of Ogden Senior High, for their splendid work in furthering the building of a new high school. Mr. Bigelow expresses his opin¬ion of the work in these words: "When one realizes the terrible conditions the students of the high school contend with in their effort to obtain an education, we can easily perceive the need of a new high school. Crowded condi¬tions, impossibility of teaching certain subjects, lack of individ-
