support to the club, and with such a spirit prevailing, not only with the officers, but remembers also, the club cannot help but be a success. Watch us grow and succeed!—Lucile McFarlane, reporter. AT HALF MAST On Sunday next every school building of Ogden will display the American flag at half mast in token of respect to Ogden's first citizen, the world's greatest inventor of fire arms, John M.

DENTAL EXAMINATION The dentists of Ogden have generously tendered their services free to the children of Ogden next week for one, two or three days, as necessary, to examine the teeth of all the children in the city schools. The board of education will furnish secretaries to make record of the findings of the dentists. Each child will also be given a written report of the dentists' finding in his particular case. These reports are to be shown to parents so that they may be advised as to the condition of the child's teeth. No obligation is placed upon any one. Let no one imagine either, that this is a matter of soliciting business. The dentists are busy and are not asking for more work. It is simply an educational movement initiated by the board of education to improve the health situation among Ogden's children. It supplements in a splendid way the excellent survey that has been made by the Ogden nurses under the direction of Miss G. Jacobson the past two months. THE TEACHER "The public school teacher can never live apart; he cannot separate his teaching from his daily walk and conversation. He lives among his pupils during school hours, and among them and their parents all the time. He is peculiarly a public character under the most searching scrutiny of watchful and critical eyes. His life is an open book. His habits are known to all. His office, like that of a minister of religion, demands of him an exceptional standard of conduct, and how rarely does a teacher fall below that standard How seldom does a teacher figure in a sensational headline in a newspaper! It is truly remarkable, I think, that so vast an army of people—approximately eight hundred thousand—so uniformly meets its obligations, so effectively does its job. so decently behaves itself, as to be almost utterly inconspicuous in a sensation loving country. It implies a wealth of character, of tact, of patience, of quiet competence, to achieve such a record."— Herbert Hoover. 23RD PAGE OF THE LOST DIARY Leapin' Lizards Diary, the teachers don't think it's enough to down-trod your face with ugly old marks. The English teacher assigns a theme on top of it all. Wonder if you care if I practice on you. Wouldja? Huh? Guess I'll write about report cards (not about mine, though. Gee, mine would make make all your pages curl up and die right on the spot). Report cards are bad news messengers. They're just like a telegram. They make you feel all shaky inside when they're put before ya. The day after report card days a few people that happen to inherit brains (like Emerson Thatcher does) go around with a smile on their faces and a kind of uplifting nose. While the rest of us rush into the office an' wanta drop this 'er that 'er the other thing 'cause the teacher's got pets or 'cause he looked at 'em mean an' made 'em cry when they just turned around to smile at th' boy in back of 'em. Guess that'll make a swell theme, won't it? All th' girls had to take home a card "about not takin' Jim Somebody or not going to Jim Somebody. Anyhow, it gave us the dickens for not realizing the importance of him. I wonder—could it possibly be Jim Elder? Well, that's the way with some people, gettin' in with all the women that way. Oh, say, Diary, I heard that Christmas Yuletide is comin' along swell. I'm goin' to talk to pa's son-in-law about it. I'll see what he says and tell you. Farewell, sweet Diary. (It's really supposed to be Hamlet. Farewell, sweet Hamlet, but your name ain't Hamlet.)—Girls' association. Dec 13 - 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES This week, then the next and then comes Christmas. Spell it Christmas—not Xmas—that's a good suggestion. We understand that a campaign is on to end the habit of having X stand for the revered name —- "Christ". We're for the reform. THE GRAND NIGHT. Wednesday night, this week, is the grand night; this is the night on which the school play, "The Goose Hangs High," is to be presented. For weeks the cast has been working arduously uner expert direction of Miss Beck and we are very sure that we shall have a first-class production. The high school has established an enviable reputation in the matter of artistic production of drama, and we assure our friends that the play this year will be up to the high standard of the past. GOOD PROGRAM. The Forum put on an especially good program Friday—i.e., good of its kind. It was Comedy throughout and well received by the students. The parts showed care and study in preparation and credit is due to all the members and the advisors for the hour's entertainment. FAST SIDE FRIDAY. We expect, the East Side High school band to present .a musical program on Friday of this . week. The conductor. Mr. Overlade, assures us that he has a varied and worthwhile program. We are counting on a musical treat and invite our friends to meet with us to enjoy this program. CHRISTMAS QUARTERLY. All the material for the Christmas Quarterly is now in the hands of the printer and the issue will be out early next week. The editors report that this will be an exceptionally interesting, worth-while issue. ASSEMBLY. Vice President Winifred McConnell presided at the regular Friday assembly. Announcements were as follows Jay Glen announced the game with Provo Saturday night in the O. H. S. gymnasium; John Griffin announced "The Unchastened Woman" to be given at Weber; Mable Reynolds announced the play, commenting on its merits; Charles Emmett spoke on the Acorn ball. Forum presented the following program with Kenneth Skeen, president of the club, presiding; Ralph Dexter gave several selections on the banjo; the members of the club presented several acts with a short play with chorus in the finale. ELEANOR WEEKS, Soc'y. TALK IT UP. STUDENTS. If an Ogden High School student were asked if his school en- I coil-raged and supported athletics, the answer would very likely, be an emphatic yes. Yet the Ogden High is the only high school in the state which is able to have an aquatic team and has not. Some students of the school call swimming a minor sport, yet there is probably, no student who does not like to swim, or does not wish he knew how. Swimming meets are as thrilling as basketball and as interesting as football. Several fellows, and girls also, have shown a desire to have a school aquatic team. An expert swimmer of the Weber gym has volunteered his service as coach; and swimming meets could easily be arranged for with the various state high schools. Don't you think the Ogden High school should have a swimming team, fellows—and girls, too? —RONALD TANNER. DENTISTS AT MICH SCHOOL Drs. White and Clark, dentists, are assigned to the high school to look over students' teeth. The doctors are expected here today or tomorrow. GOOD BEGINNING. In the first basketball game of the season the Ogden teams beat Provo—by the score of 29-20. Not a bad beginning, it augurs well for a successful season. WINTER QUIET. The soft grey blanket of cloud-flooded, sky glides slowly over the silent forest. Here and there a blue spot appears in the moving mass, only to fade quickly from sight, like an eye which, accustomed to gazing on lazy rolling meadows and limpid pools, has been suddenly startled by the smooth white surface spread below it. The quiet forest, clothed in solitude and resting peacefully in the last few twilight-like moments preceding the advance of inky darkness, causes the traveler. plodding along on his snow-shoes, to quicken his pace and hurry to prepare his camp for the night; for it is the time of the quiet death-like silence which makes one wish he were at his journey's end, surrounded by his friends, and seated before a roaring log fire. It is the time when the cold seems most intense; when the quail, snuggled below the icy crust and deep in the fluffy whiteness, murmurs a sleepy protest to the sighing breezes which interrupt his slumbers; and when the wolf skims the ground with his long, tireless stride, to join the pack assembling at the resonant call of the leader. The cracking boom of the ice, forming on the lake echoes from side to side of the white sentinel peaks; while a yellow twinkling light shortly appears in a distant cabin window, throwing near objects into drear relief and making the surrounding darkness even blacker. But on this night a mysterious, yet soothing, atmosphere seems to permeate the stillness, making one forget his troubles for the moment. The deer sigh with relief as the comet-like wolf pack glides silently by and on, they themselves wondering, in their queer dog-like-way, why the usual pangs of hunger do not trouble them even though they have eaten little for days. The traveler looks forward to the coming day and his home in the village. Even the hereditary enmity of the animals seems forgotten. And why should this not be? Does not the dawn bring the anniversary of the birth of the Christ Child, and should not peace rule the world? CLIFTON LUND. A PAGE OF THE LOST DIARY Oh! You should have been in, the assembly this morning. Diary —-we had a part of the Zeigfeld Follies girls for entertainers. I sure think that the Girls' association is going to be forsaken for a while. All the boys will be going out with those chorus girls-—just imagine! I'll bet that Cliff thought he was Flo himself—but don't , let him kid you, Diary, because his name is Clifford—(ain't that a nice name?). I think that I recognized Frank Rose—(he was so "frank" that his shirt "rose" way above his knees) as Cliff's sidekick—I am not sure though, but I am glad that I found out that an Indian's feathers: is to keep his wigwam. I almost caught a resemblance to Grant Chandler in the hobo, but I am going to ask him so I will be sure. I kinda liked that banjo solo by Ralph Dexter. Ken said that he used to play in Paul Whiteman's orchestra—I don't know about that; but I sure liked the way he made that banjo talk. I only wish we had two hours for assembly instead of one—then we could hear all we wanted. Anyway, I am going to compliment the Forum for the keen assembly they put over and we sure hope, that some of the other clubs put on a 'good assembly-— every once in a while. —GIRLS' ASSOCIATION. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL ‘S'NO (W) NEWS. Hurrah! The first snow of the season is here, The bringer of holiday joy and good cheer. The whirling snowflakes that fill the air. Drive before them our worries and care. Our spirits rise and with joy overflow, All on account of the first real snow; And then to cap things off just right Comes the "Yuletide Glide" nine days from tonight. —N. WILBURR. "GOOSE HANGS HIGH'' We're all agog this week over the school play, "The Goose Hangs High,' which will be presented at the Orpheum theatre tomorrow (Wednesday) night. We think this will be the finest production the Ogden High school has ever put on. BADLY NEEDED. Ogden High school needs and needs badly some new songs and yells. We need a genuine school song that can be sung on all occasions. We need some snappy songs that can be sung at games and on special occasions. We need some new yells for games. Students, see what you can do. CANDY-MAKING. The domestic science department is making most delicious candies for the school play. There are candies and candies—but that made by the high school girls surpasses anything that can be purchased anywhere. CHRISTMAS CANTANA One week from tonight the Cantana will be rendered by the school chorus under the direction of Mrs. Agnes Warner Bowen. The presentation will be made in the assembly hall of high school and there will be no change. The public is invited.
