Show OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES May 10 -26 "God could not be everywhere so he made toothers."—Selected. Most of all other beautiful thing's in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and by hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rain¬bows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.—Kate Doug¬las Wiggin. If I were asked to give a thought which in one word would speak, A unity of brotherhood, a sym¬pathy complete, A hundred happy, cheery ways, a mind that knows its own- Contented midst a throng of folk, yet. peaceful when alone— A heart that sheds its silent glow, to brighten many another Without a moment of delay I'd say "You mean my mother."—Anon. fine art On Friday last the art depart¬ment sent to the state university some fine posters to compete in the National Poster alliance contest. The subject of the year is Utah Scenery." The posters are 20x24 and in one estimation, won¬derful pieces of art. The following students sent posters; Agnes Rus¬sell, Fermen Westergard, Mortenson, Alice Zundell, Elizabeth Stanford, Melba Bills. division winner Ogden won the division track meet by a wide margin on Friday. Davis was our nearest competitor. Three students to win places are tenth grade students—who, be¬cause of limited room, are held in the Washington Junior high. Box Elder protests against these as they are not under the same roof as other senior high students, but surely they are senior high stu¬dents with satisfactory scholastic records, and cannot be barred—just because they are not housed where they cannot be housed. Box El¬der has all junior and senior high students in one building so, of course, they are all eligible. We await with interest the decision of the state arbiter. other prizes In the automobile instruction and repair contest conducted by the Agricultural college at Logan on Friday last, Henry Hart of Og¬den won first place, and Darwin Engstrom won third place. We always thought Mr. Bergstrom's auto mechanics instruction, was first-class and now, of course, we know it. parents' day Annually the Ogden schools have an exhibition and parents' day. We, at the high school are usually somewhat handicapped on the ex¬hibit end of the affair, as students in carpentry department always take the work home as soon as fin¬ished and consequently, we have at the end of the year only such pieces as are in process of con¬struction or very recently complet¬ed. In the art department the fine pieces of the year are sent away, as were the posters on Fri¬day, or go into the year book. We do not mind, however, as we al¬ways have sufficient remaining to make a creditable showing. u day Friday, May 14, is U Day, also state track day. Ogden seniors have the option of attending either A. C. day at Logan or U day at Salt Lake. As only a few went to Logan on Friday, it is believed that a large representation will attend U day at Salt Lake. washington pilot Now comes Washington junior' with its commencement number of 32 pages, bound in heavy paper in deep maroon. The issue covers the year's activities and is a miniature, home-made year book. Every page boosts the school and evidences the finest spirit. We congratulate the school on the many successes of the year, not excluding this last success, the "commencement number" of the Pilot. sunshine treatment a letter from Reed Gammell at Denver conveys the interesting in¬formation that he is receiving the sunshine treatment prescribed by the physicians at Fitzslmmons hos¬pital. Strangely enough, many medical men of the day are be¬ginning to attribute great poten¬cy to the direct sunlight upon the human body. good pictures C. e. Armstrong made an en¬during record of the R. O. T. C. inspection. He has in his windows some most excellent pictures (en¬larged) of reviewing officers of the companies in action. We think we have never seen better pictures. improvements The shop boys have recently completed and placed in the girls' rest room a very fine couch, up-holstered in velvet, velour. The material for the couch was pur¬chased by the girls of the domes¬tic art department through can¬dy sales. a wall cabinet and bookcase was built and placed last week in room 202, (Mrs. Erwin's), by Engineer Jack Armstrong. Practically all rooms of the building now are equipped with small bookcases. These will serve their purpose ext year when the study-recitation plan is established. student election the student body election on Merrill Tribe and Cecil Fife received the highest number of votes for student body president. At an election called for tomor¬row one of these two will be elect¬ed president for 1926-1927. Winnifred McConnell received a majority of votes cast for vice president and was declared elect¬ed. |
