WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1926 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES "Run the tariff up or run the tariff down; elect Wilson, Smith, Borah or Mrs. Catt president; it all makes little difference in the end. But the care of the chil¬dren, that is a question that sets at the hearthstone of every na¬tion's existence. There is but one great issue in the Twentieth cen¬tury. It is for every child to have the privilege of being equipped for life."—Frank Crane. GUESTS OF WEBER Ogden High school seniors are to be guests of Weber college at a dancing party in the Weber gym-nasium tomorrow evening. Invi¬tations were formally presented by Frank Mouritzen at senior class meeting Tuesday night. Weber college presented each with a very pretty souvenir dance pro¬gram in addition to a written in¬vitation. CLASS ASSESSMENT The senior class has a small deficit. To clear the deficit and also to leave a memorial to the school, the class voted Tuesday night a 25-cent per capita tax. STUDENT PRESIDENT Merrill Tribe and Cecil Fife, candidates for student body presi¬dent for 1926-27, will be present¬ed at today's assembly, and the ballots will be cast tomorrow dur¬ing the advisory period. Miss Eleanor Weeks was elected stu¬dent body secretary at the elec¬tion on Friday, last. ENDURING LITERATURE The Chimes Press of Ogden is to be congratulated on a new mammoth undertaking—the publication of the world's great liter¬ature in handy little volumes. Some of the fine points about these publications are: Convenient size—to be slipped in the pocket; good paper, clear print, artistic; so cheap any one can afford them—10c a volume; a dozen or more volumes may be fastened together to make a tome. We congratulate Ogden on having as a citizen a man who dares such an undertaking. All success to; Mr. Scoville and the Chimes Press. CADET COMMISSIONS R. O. T. C. officers have adopt¬ed the plan of issuing certificate commissions at the end of the year instead of the beginning when the assignments are first made. This is done on the theory that the officer should make good before the formal certificate is given.

William Gunnell, Major Forbes Campbell, Major Herbert Verheek; Captains Morris Allen, Lee Chamberlin, Casper Woods, Francis Hales, George Glen, Louis Loughran, Leland Newman, Harper Culley, Milton Farber, Frank Francis.

CONTESTS HELD Interesting contests were held in oratory and public speaking at the high school Tuesday after¬noon. The contests were a part of the state high school program conducted by the University of Utah. Miss Rose of Kaysville and Miss Valentine of Box Elder read extracts from Booth Tarkington's "Penrod." Miss Valentine was declared the winner in this con¬test. In the public speaking contest the general subject of "Crime in America" was assigned for ex-temporaneous speaking. Two hours before the contest, the speakers drew the particular phase of the subject that he was to speak upon, and was given that much time in which to make preparation. David Camp of Og¬den and Lowell Rich of Brigham City entered this contest. The judges, Mr. Petterson, Mrs. How¬ell and Mr. Wright, gave a two- to-one decision in favor of Mr. Camp. Miss Valentine and Mr. Camp will consequently represent th i district at the state university oral Friday, May 14. ART EXHIBIT Pressure is being brought upon Mr. Stewart, instructor in art, to place some of his paintings on exhibition at the high school next week. The school people feel that Ogden folks should have an op-portunity of seeing some of the fine wrork this coming artist is doing. SOME DO NOT GO It will be impossible for some of the seniors to leave school Fri¬day as their work is not up. It doesn't seem fair that they should take a holiday when the work is very pressing. DANCE A SUCCESS The dance given by the Elks on Monday night was a fair suc¬cess; not as big, however, as it should have been. The band needs considerable more financial support if it is to make the trip. For four months now the boys have worked most faithfully for from two to four hours per day to creditably represent Ogden and Utah in the east, and we feel that all citizens should rally to the support of the organization and the movement. It is a rare opportunity for Ogden.
