Show The committee for club membership was likewise advised by President Fife to complete its report. Miss Coop asked for charge of the stand at Friday's game. A motion was passed that, if Weber County High school students do not want the stand next Friday, it is to be turned over to the Girls' association. The meeting was adjourned by motion. WILMA BAILEY, Secretary Pro-tem. SUBSTITUTES WANTED. A city of Ogden's size should have within her borders at least a few people who could on occasion, do substitute work in the various departments of high school. A teacher of science, for instance, may be ill today; there should be someone who can take his place. Tomorrow a substitute may be needed, in language— French, Spanish or Latin, mathematics, history. English, stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping, social science, carpentry, auto-mechanics, etc. In case there are people who can substitute in any one or more of these subjects we shall ask them to kindly advise Supt. W. K. Hopkins, so that the school may in case of necessity requisition their services. USE THE SUNSHINE. Some people are afraid of sunshine—not knowing nor realizing that it is the great beneficent source of health and vigor. At the Fitzsimmons hospital at Denver, sunshine is recognized as the world's greatest curative agent, and all patients are exposed to it from one to three hours a day— summer and winter, the year round. Yet at school we frequently notice students pulling down the blinds close as if the sunshine might poison them. We recommend that instead of this the blinds be thrown clear up to let in all the sunshine possible. We recommend in addition that every individual—student, teacher, parent. all—make a habit of enjoy-ink an hour or two of Cod's glorious sunshine each day. It's our biggest asset in this mountain region. We have an abundance of sunshine. ENJOYING THE PICTURES. Many people have visited the art exhibit at the high school and have enjoyed them. Mr. Stuart usually spends the noon hour there instead of at the cafeteria, as he says, "the pictures are food for me." Many townspeople have spent hours looking at the pictures and say they enjoy every moment. An ex-teacher of the high school spent a full half day last week, drinking in the beauty of the pictures. Would that all might see what the especially gifted see. There are too many Peter Bells amongst us. "A yellow primrose by the river's brim, A yellow primrose was to him And it was nothing more." There are too few Wordsworths in Ogden, the Wordsworths who say: "To me the meanest flower that blows Can give thoughts too deep for tears." Nov 5 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES ARMISTICE DAY The Ogden schools will close on Thursday, Nov. 11, Armistice day--in commemoration of the closing of the great world war. The R.O.T.C. will observe the day fittingly by joining with the American legion in appropriate exercises. TODAY'S GAME The football game today ends the official series for the year. The year has not been one of brilliant successes; we have not done as well as we expected. But, considering our handicaps, we have done very well. We have done as well as we should have expected. At every game the boys have put forth their very best efforts and have never lost, for a moment, the fighting spirit. They are to be congratulated on the good showing they have made. HOPKINS TO TALK Supt. W. Karl Hopkins will be the speaker at today's assembly. Music will be furnished by the students and a dance will be given by a high school girl. THE ACID TEST If you want to find out how bad you are, run for a public office. If you want to find out how good you are—why—just "die." Maybe you'll get the report, but anyway your friends will get it. EDUCATION WEEK Plans are well under way for observance of Education week next week, November 7 to 14. The education of youth is the biggest work in all the world and it concerns all the people. Ogden people are proud of their schools and should take pride in observing the week by visiting the schools, getting acquainted with the teachers and what they are doing, and contributing in some way just a little to make the schools better. We cannot do too much to further the cause of society's most fundamental work— education. EAST SECONDS WIN East seconds won from Ogden seconds again Thursday; score, 12 to 0. Ogden is improving, anyway. .Next time we shall win.

BE THERE TONIGHT Tonight is your night, seniors. Are you going to take advantage of it? Many have obtained senior dance tickets, but those who have not may pay at the door. The senior dance is the only way, seniors, that you have of getting acquainted one with another, so, boys, if you want to meet the girls, be at the Weber Gym ballroom, one hundred per cent strong, tonight at 8:30 o'clock. RONALD TANNER. FOUND—A DIARY A diary has been found in the halls of Ogden High school. It appears to belong to a member of the Girls' association. We have conceived the plan of publishing a page of this diary each day until the owner claims her property. The pages will be numbered every day for the convenience of the loser. Below is the first page: 1. RECIPE RECEIVED BY RADIO (Note: The set was out of order a little bit and I got (2) two stations at the same time. But that makes no difference, as I got the recipe.) Hands on hips, place one cup of flour on the shoulder, raise knees—elevate toes and mix thoroughly in one-half cup of milk; repeat six times. Inhale quickly one-half teaspoon of baking powder, lower the legs and mash two hard-boiled eggs in the sieve. Exhale—breathe naturally and sift in an earthen bowl. Lie flat on the floor and roll the white of an egg backward and forward until it comes to a boil. In ten minutes remove from the fire and rub smoothly with a rough towel. Take deep breathing, dress in warm flannels and serve with soup. NYD RUNE Colorado Chapter of American College Quill Club Prize poetry contest, 1926-27: For the purpose of stimulating and encouraging the writing of poetry by high school students, the Colorado chapter of the American College Quill club announces the opening of its annual poetry contest for students in high schools. Rules— The contest is open to all high school students. A silver loving cup will be awarded for the poem judged best by the club. The club reserves the right to print the winning poem in one or more campus publications. All manuscripts should be typed neatly on regular white typewriting paper, on one side of the paper. All manuscripts must be in the hands of Emelie Boyle, 1047 Thirteenth street, Boulder, Colorado, by midnight, February 15, 1927. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT "When the teacher's work with a pupil is finished, the efficiency of his work is determined not so much by what the pupil knows as by what he is."—Dean Milton Bennion, in his address as president of the Utah Education association, October 21, 1926. Character is what one is, not what one knows. Character is the result of the integration of attitudes. That children build attitudes is inevitable; but what kind do they build? This is the real measure of teaching. Teaching is more than a direction of learning; it involves the guidance of the development of personalities. Learning is simple and easy of management compared with the direction of character development. The factors are many and complex. The teacher's task is to discover what these factors are and how to direct them in developing the personality of each pupil. Nov 8 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Every week is Education Week —but this week has been specifically designated as the week when the thoughts of all people should be turned to the institutions society has established to secure to herself liberty, peace, fraternity, equality and happiness. CHARTER OF LIBERTIES Appropriately enough today (Monday) has been designated as Constitution day in Education week. The constitution is that noble instrument which guarantees us all the rights, privileges, opportunities, blessings that can come to a free people. It embodies the American philosophy of life and has precedence over religion, creed, social dogma, party principle or personal belief. It guarantees religious freedom, social freedom, personal freedom to every individual. It aims to make all men free, all men responsible, all men worthy. It undertakes the greatest tasks possible for men to conceive, and so far, it has not been found wanting. It has proved itself worthy of our love, our advocation, our reverence. HIGH SPOTS More and more the world is coming to realize that the high spots in education and indeed in civilization are those simple little eminences along the highway of life that indicate that the individual members of society are practicing in their every-day lives the simple, homely virtues. He, for instance, who can give a positive affirmative answer to the following simple questions may rate himself a very good citizen: Have you learned to speak well of your enemy? Have you come to good terms with your conscience? Have you helped today some discouraged or lonely one? Have you learned to see some good in every one? Have you settled an old difference with a friend? Have you rid yourself of some bad habit? Have you measured up to your mother's dream? SUITS TURNED IN The football season is over for Ogden High and the suits have all been handed in. Jupiter Pluvius or whatever his name may be, has been good to the Ogden boys this year for he has not required them to play in mud or sleet or cold during the season. As some one remarked the other day, "We haven't even got the suits dirty." NEW ROOF The manual training shop is receiving a new cover of tarred composition roofing this week. THANKS TO SERGEANT The office force extend thanks to Sergeant Mayer for fine new desk pads received today. NEW TESTS Seven general tests for all English classes, including general intelligence, reasoning, grammar, rhetoric, literature and composition have recently been prepared under the direction of Mrs. Florence Newcomb, head of the English department, and will be given soon. In addition to these Supt. Hopkins will give all English students a general English test within the next week. FINE CONTRIBUTION The High school students made a splendid response to the call for fruits, jam and jellies for disabled soldiers on Friday last. About one hundred quarts were received. |
