GOOD ASSEMBLY The assembly on Friday last was especially good. Supt. Hopkins gave a very practical encouraging talk on true sportsmanship and made application to the ten commandments of sport to the various activities of school and of life. Miss May Kelly pleased the audience greatly with two very modern ballet dances. MAY BUY A PICTURE The school council in connection with the Girls' association, is seriously thinking of buying one of Mr. Puthof's pictures that have been on exhibition during the past three weeks. The school desires to add a good picture each year to its art collection, and this seems opportune time to get a masterpiece painting of one of the west's most famous artists. BULLETINS RECEIVED All teachers and many townspeople received today bulletins from the University of Utah announcing some eight or ten extension courses being offered in Ogden this year. The classes are now organized and any wishing the work should report at high school tonight. GAMMA KAPPA PARTY A party was given on Wednesday, Nov. 3, at the home of Lorin Wheelwright. The new members were scheduled to entertain the old and the affair went over with a bang. The program was arranged as follows: Three-act play—Dorothy Foulger. Piano solo. Vernal Johnson. Interesting moving pictures of O. H. S. band and interesting school people, Ralph Roberta. Piano solo, Vellas Woods. Flute solo, Emerson Thatcher. Games were conducted by Carmen Garner and Bob Wing. French horn solo, Tom Broadbent. Delightful refreshments were served, during which several selections from the radio were enjoyed. This is the first big party Gamma Kappa has put on, but we hope for more in the future. SECOND PAGE OF THE "LAST PARTY" Dear Diary: Poor me! I didn't have a date for the senior dance, so I had to "stag" it. Had a good time when I did get there —all but for one incident. Gihl Beck brought me a glass of punch and then spilt it all over my dress —of course, he offered to take it over to the radiator and dry it, but I had to go with the dress. After it dried the spot looked like wet paint. I didn't get another dance because the fellows didn't want to get paint, all over their newly cleaned suits. So I had a good chance to watch the dumb guys strut their dames before me. There was Jay Glen acting up as usual and nearly ruined Louise Eccles' feet. I was glad that I wasn't Louise— for once. Up in a corner sat Gordon Larsen with some one sentimentally smoothing his marcel waves. I wanted to go home, but nobody would take me. so I left anyway, just to spite 'em. I guess they were pretty sorry afterwards because when I went out of the door the orchestra was playing "Bye-Bye Blackbird." But I guess the bye-bye was for me. Resolved, I shall never go to another dance "stag." Nov 10 - 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Today is "patriotism day" in Education week. Patriotism has j been defined: "A fulfillment of individual obligations to the community, state and nation m peace or war; a wholesome respect for the symbols of the commonwealth; and a will to defend the principles of liberty, equality, justice and tolerance which actuated our forefathers to found it." WOOLLEY TO SPEAK. Attorney Arthur Woolley will speak at a special assembly at high school on Wednesday, at 11:15 o'clock. His subject will be, "Equal Opportunity for All." THE GOOD CITIZEN. The free public library of Newark, N. J., has a poster which says: "The good citizen says—I am a citizen of America and an heir to all her greatness and renown. The health and happiness of my body depend upon each muscle and nerve and drop of blood doing its work in its place. I will not fill any post or pursue any business where 1 can live upon fellow citizens without doing them useful service in return: for I plainly see this will bring suffering and want to some of them. I will do nothing to desecrate the soil of America, or pollute her air or degrade her children—my brothers and sisters. I will try to make l-.cr cities beautiful and her citizens healthy and happy, so that she may be a desired home for myself now, and for her children in days to come. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. A letter was received at the high school Monday from Theodore Martin, '26, now at Mowhay. Cape Provine, South Africa. The letter was mailed on October S, hence was just 30 days in transit. Theodore is enjoying his experiences in that far-off continent and expects to do some collegc work there next year. Another card of interest was one from Mrs. Caroline Camp, a former teacher at high school, now doing post graduate work at the University of California. ATTENDANCE GOOD. High school attendance for the second month of school period closing on Friday last was exceptionally good, 95.4 per cent. The record shows the boys were more regular than the girls, as they had 96.3 per cent attendance, while the girls was 94.5 per cent. QUARTERLY COMING. The fall number of the school Quarterly will probably be off the press on Friday of this week. Students are looking anxiously ahead for the appearance of this first issue. KEEP YOUR CARDS. Students are advised to take good care of their student body cards. They represent money expended and should be most carefully preserved. A five dollar greenback has but little intrinsic value—just a few cents—but it represents five dollars in purchasing power, and we rarely lose them. When we get them we take good care of them. It should be the same with student body cards. MOTHERS' TEA. A meeting of the secretaries was called by Dorothy Coop, president, to discuss the mothers' tea to be held Friday from. 2 to 5 o'clock. This tea has become an annual custom among the girls of Ogden High. For five years the Girls' association has entertained the mothers of girls. The purpose is to promote a good feeling between the girls' and other girls' mothers—to acquaint our mothers with the teachers and students. The proceeds from the sales at the football games will be used as funds for the affair. We expect the gym to be very beautifully decorated and hope the mothers will enjoy themselves. The following committees were appointed: General Chairmen — Thelma Burt. Leonora Malan. Program Committe — Vella Fowler, Helen Hodge, Carmen Garner, Marjorie Kelly. Decoration Committee—Dorothy Young, Margaret Stevens, Marian Ellis. Invitation Committee—Mildred Bowman, Hazel Higginbotham, Blanche Halverson. Refreshment Committee—Louise Reed, Lois Fowler. Ruth Paine. THIRD PAGE OF THE LOST DIARY. Dear Diary: Today we voted on the class rings. Last right I wished I had a wishing ring so 1 could wish for what I wished, it kinda looks like this 1926-27 class ring will be my wishing ring. Some of the fellows tried to pull the wool over the committee's eyes aftd voted twice. That won't go j over because the teachers made them vote over—they look right through wool—the teachers, I mean.) Today was current event day in history—nearly all the kids got a goose egg. I guess I got two goose eggs—gee, but it's heck to be dumb. Mrs. Irwin got real peeved and I'll bet it doesn't happen again because she is the "vice"— principal. At noon a mystery spread itself over the school—some girls (about 20 of them) were parading around in cute black and white uniforms. It was all cleared up though when someone discovered that they belonged to the Fun club. I'm an outcast in this school, it isn't any fun not to belong to some organization that takes pleasure in watching you enjoy yourself. I don't know anybody and nobody seems to care much about it. Some people are awfully stiff-ncked. But oh. Diary—we beat Weber county High school 25 to 0—isn't that great. I sure helped the team by my terrific yelling. I know they heard me because every time I yelled they made about 10 yards. Well, I gotta quit now because I've got a cake in the oven. (I am trying out the recipe I got over the radio the other night.) Nov 10 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Visit the school on Friday. As there is no school tomorrow, Armistice day, this will be your last chance to visit during Education week. MOTHER'S TEA. Whatever else you do or do not do. please, mothers of the high school boys and girls, come to our tea Friday afternoon. This is the annual function of the Girls' association and we do want you to come. And you fathers, too, you're as welcome as the flowers of May. Come spend the afternoon with us. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES. This is "Equal Opportunity Day." Let's consider carefully today democracy's greatest problem —the securing of equal opportunity, equal chance for every man, woman and child. God gave each of us two priceless gifts: (1) Individuality and (2) personality. It is up to society to secure for each "equality of opportunity." We are not born equal —but everyone must be given his chance. The day must pass when any man can truthfully say "I did not have a chance.' ANOTHER ALUMNI. Word comes from the University of California of the success of Helen Grace, O. H. S. class of '26, and a freshman at the university, as reporter on the Daily Call. Three elimination contests were held for the position and Helen has successfully passed them all. Reports as to her scholastic attainments are splendid. We are always delighted to pass these reports on. TALKS AT PROVO. Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins is giving the "Equal Opportunity day" address at the Brigham Young university at Provo today. INTERESTING SURVEY. An interesting survey was made on Tuesday by the teachers of the advisory periods regarding noon hour and luncheons. As the major portion of the students live too far from school to go home at noon, the survey was made to ascertain how the students feel toward shortening or lengthening the noon period. The results of the survey have not beer, tabulated. FORUM REPORT. Back to Business! In our last meeting, on Monday, November 8, a most essential and vital question of our nation was debated. The question was; "Resolved, That the five day labor week be adopted by industry"; and the debaters were Frank Rose and Ambrose Merrill, negative, and Kenneth Skeen and Tom Broadbent, affirmative. The English system of judging was used and the final decision was for the affirmative. The debate was interesting and joyable. It was pronounced up to Forum standards and kept everybody awake (ask Cecil Fife about that!). Our club is growing, "slow but sure," for we have admitted "another sheep to the fold"—James Neil. "Jim" has proved his skill and ability in debating (also in the realm of slumber) and the Forum has been fortunate in admitting him. We congratulate him and hope that he will have great success as a Forum member—fifteen for Jim Neil! We still have three members to choose, and, although we are experiencing great difficulty, we trust that we will choose the "best we have." Philip Finkelstein, Reporter. WASHINGTON QUOTED. It may not be inappropriate during this Education week to quote two important statements of George Washington in his "Farewell Address." He said: "Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of government gives force to public opinion it is •essential that public opinion be brightened." He also said: "Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." HE WAS RIGHT. Most people will admit that Washington saw the truth clearly. Education that enlightens intellect is all right; but it must be supplemented by the sort of education that concerns the heart. Man's emotions, feelings, must receive as careful training as his intellect. "Out of the heart proceed the issues of life." The old phychologists said that man "thinks, feels, wills." I guess they were about right. FOURTH PAGE OF LOST DIARY. Ain't it funny, dearest diary, that there always has to be some stubborn people every place you go? Today we had to fill out some funny little slips asking you how many blocks away from school you lived and would you rather have an hour for lunch or would you rather have thirty minutes and get out of school fifteen minutes earlier. Most of the class voted for thirty-minute lunch period when I wanted an hour. How's that for stubborn people? I heard a poem about chewing gum. The rhythm is just like a bell. You know that ding-dongy kind! The end of each stanza is "I must have that cheming gum." It's a parody on "The Curfew must Not Ring Tonight." You know it's that poem about the girl that hangs onto the bell so it won't ring. The bell goes away out over the city and back again. She hangs onto it because her lover is to be shot if the bell rings. Anyhow, they let her lover go because she was so brave. As the saying goes "Ain't love grand?" I'd like to get a chance to do that for—well I don't believe I'll tell even you, diary, right now—anyway, I wish I could have a chance to do that for A. I. R. and that doesn't mean Abie's Irish Rose, either. —Girls' Association.
