Show TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1926 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES IN APPRECIATION. A. L. Scoville paid the band handsomely for Sunday's concert at Chimes View. In addition to appreciating the services of the band, Mr. Scoville is one of the men who is boosting for the na¬tional contest and was conse¬quently glad to give the fund another boost. CHECKS RECEIVED. The check of G. G. Wright of Salt Lake for one hundred dol¬lars toward the band fund was received Monday. Mayor Browning also phoned the high school that Ogden city appreciated the work the boys are doing and that a check for two hundred dollars awaited the school at the city hall. He said also that he would give the boys an opportunity to reciprocate the kindness at some of the celebra¬tions that the city will put on during the summer. The Civic league also sent in a check for ten dollars. Day by day and every way the fund grows larger and prospects brighten. ART OF BLUE PRINTS. On Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock there will be a picture film at Central Junior on the "Art of Blue Prints." This film is furnished by the C. F. Pease company and is produced under the direction of J. W. Connell, instructor in mechanical drawing. The admission will be free to all students. TENNIS COURTS. Figures, estimates, plans for tennis courts at the. high school have been prepared and we are assured that the work will begin at once. TERM REPORTS. Reports cards for second term, second semester, will be issued tomorrow morning. FRENCH PASTRY. Madam Aubrey treated the fac¬ulty Monday evening to punch and French pastry. The faculty "aftermaths" are coming to be a regular thing and are populariz¬ing faculty meetings. GRADUATION. The graduation exercises will be held this year at the Para¬mount theatre. It seems hardly possible that another graduation day is so near. There will be ap¬proximately 375 students in the graduating class this year. A committee was appointed at senior class meeting on Monday to secure a speaker for the bac-calaureate program to be given on Sunday, May 23. The music for this occasion, as also for commencement, will be furnished from the class. The graduation committee will meet during the week to pass upon the graduates, to determine who shall give the valedictory, the salutatory and other num¬bers on the program. THE JUNIOR PROM. Only once in a lifetime comes the opportunity of being the im¬portant guest at a high school junior prom. The prom is the event when the juniors are good to the seniors because they are leaving. It is the event when the seniors begin to recognize that there is another class in the school besides theirs. It is the event when everyone goes and en¬joys himself. Invitations to the junior prom are issued to the seniors in "pairs," and every junior who can possibly rake up an iron man goes to see the fun! Some seniors have the fun of going with someone they don't know (romance!) and of accept¬ing pot luck, which is, of course, good luck, at the Ogden High school! Unfortunately we are not all ravishing beauties or hand¬some shieks, but what of it? We are fun-loving human beings, so we are going to the junior prom. We can hardly wait! NINETY-THREE. To write ninety-three words per minute on a typewriter is pretty good speed, and yet that is the speed attained by Harry Rubin, a high school student, this year. PUNCTUALITY. Many people fail to appreciate the virtue of punctuality. They ignore the fact that being behind time is equivalent to stealing other people's time. They disre¬gard the fact that it slows up business, and dulls efficiency. In¬variably men who have achieved success in life attribute it large¬ly to the fact that they were al¬ways prompt and punctual in meeting their every-day duties and responsibilities. Business men usually accept no excuses for employes being be¬hind time. They act upon the principle that George Washington acted upon when his secretary plead, that his watch was behind as an excuse for his not meeting his engagement promptly. "Then you'll have to get a new watch or I shall get a new secretary," said he. Indifference of students to class appointments lead the teachers at faculty meeting yesterday to adopt a resolution that tardiness would no longer be tolerated at the school. |
