4-22-26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES SWEET, BEAUTIFUL, WHOLESOME The comic opera, "The Yoko¬hama Maid," presented by Central Junior to a full house in the school auditorium Wednesday evening:, can be fairly well described in the three words above. The stage setting was very beau¬tiful and artistic, the costumes were variegated and appropriate, the singing was excellent and the or¬chestra accompaniment was very satisfactory. When Ogden people have an opportunity to enjoy a sweet, wholesome performance by their own children such as this opera was, they do well, as they did Wednesday night, to take ad¬vantage of the opportunity. Cen¬tral Junior is to be congratulated upon putting on such a creditable entertainment. The musical super¬visor, Clem Crapo, deserves special praise. Anyone and everyone who assisted is also entitled to public thanks. The leading parts were ably pre¬sented by Miss Audrey Clark, The Yokohama Maid; Miss Dorothy Martin, maid to the princess: LeRoy Frey, mayor; Wilhelmina Monson the chaperone, and Walton Foulger, the Arnerican major. The choruses were well balanced, and showed excellent training. Ogden has every reason to be proud of the, fine music that is being developed in its schools. TOO MANY CLUBS The school council is doing good work this year and the recent rul¬ing that students should not belong to more than one club is in har¬mony with the feeling of patrons and teachers who have noticed of late a disposition on the part of some students to dissipate their energies through an. attempt to participate in the activities of sev¬eral organizations. It was reported in faculty meet¬ing last week that some clubs have shown a tendency this year to drift toward social festivities with a corresponding neglect of the serious ends of club work. THE PITY OF IT Ogden city schools need, and very badly at that, an auditorium that would seat some two or three thousand people so that entertain¬ments of the sort given by Central Junior Wednesday evening might be given frequently. Not only is the seating capacity at Central Junior altogether too limited, the stage is entirely inadequate. It was only with extreme difficulty that the operetta could be rend¬ered on "that little platform. It's a real pity that the schools haven't some commodious auditorium cen¬trally located to satisfy the social needs of the schools and the com¬munity. THE POSTPONEMENT The postponement of the nation¬al band contest, until June meets the approval and the needs of the R. O. T. C. band. This makes it possible: to finish all school work before leaving, it gives the band more time to polish up its work, and it gives a little more time in which to gather the necessary funds. No active campaign for funds has been made, the school authorities preferring that all the people become converted and that contributions be wholly voluntary. About two-thirds of the necessary money has already been raised, and we are confident the balance will be easily secured. THE PROM AGAIN Everything is ready for the night of nights. In 24 hours the "lower of our youth will assemble in the Berthana for the express purpose of enjoying themselves — (strange!) A ticket sale was carried on tolay. and large numbers of forelighted students took advantage' of the bargain offered. A cash re¬duction was given to all buying today and, though we lost money, we were happy to offer tickets to the impoverished Juniors for 99 7/8 c. "Everyone" is going-—don't be one of the few who will miss this gala night. Small admission—unique decora¬tions—original, dainty programs— wonderful music—good eats—plen¬ty of drinks (legal)—congenial crowd—everything that goes to make up a perfect evening—you will meet tomorrow night at ye olde Junior Prom. See you there! STUDENT BODY -LECTION Petitions for student body president will be circulated tomorrow. There will be some three or four candidates for this position. ORATORICAL CONTEST On Wednesday next at 2 p. m. the annual Lewis oratorical con¬test will be held at Davis High school. All three schools, Davis, Box Elder and Ogden, report a lively interest in the event with a goodly number of candidates in each school to compete for the honor of- representing the school. Elimination try-outs will be held in all. schools either today or tomorrow—two being chosen for each school. BOYS' DAY The first week in May is Boys' week and Ogden Rotary is plan¬ning to have something especially good for Ogden boys every day dur¬ing the week. The great annual boys' parade will be held on Fri¬day afternoon, May 7. A com¬mittee in charge of the parade is actively engaged in preparing all the details of this great event. COUNCIL REPORT April 21, 1926. The chairman of the constitu¬tional committee renewed the dis¬cussion concerning clubs and membership, previously tabled. Jean Warner gave a list of stu¬dents in various clubs of the school in connection with the report. The following amendment, bv motion, was accepted as slated: Sec. 1-;—Clubs organized in the Ogden High school in order to be recognized as such, submit their constitutions, by way of the club committee, to the school council at the beginning of each school year. Upon acceptance, the club shall thereafter be under the jurisdiction of the council, and sub¬ject to the laws thereof. Sec. 2—Club activities shall be promoted, guided and limited by the club committee, but In no case shall a student be allowed mem¬bership in more than two clubs. Sec. 3—All club funds shall be deposited with the school treasur¬er, who shall act as banker. The signature of the person empowered to withdraw funds shall be filed therewith. Mrs. Irwin stated that satisfac¬tory arrangements for anpropriations of money for the school ten¬nis courts have been made. Discussion of petitions for candi¬dates for student body officers was discontinued by motion. —Herbert Verheek, Secretary. AN INVITATION The Junior class extends a cor¬dial invitation' to the annual Jun¬ior Prom, to the parents of students. We would like the par¬ents of the Seniors to see this last dance, and the parents of the Juniors really should begin to get acquainted with the school. There is nothing that will strengthen a student, or a group of students, as co-operation and sympathy will. We want the parents to understand us. This is as good time as any to start, and we hope to see a large number of mothers and fath¬ers sharing the enjoyment and success of the evening.
