The roll was called and the minutes read and approved. It was moved that the club committee be asked to check up on club members. As there was no second to the motion, the movement was lost. Council members resolved to offer a vote of confidence to the music department in putting on an opera, on motion of Mr. Rose. It was moved and seconded that the president appoint a new committee for publicity for ath¬letic activities. The motion was lost. The meeting was then ad¬journed. ELEANOR WEEKS, Sec'y. A FRIEND. "A friend is one who knows all about you and loves you just the same." He knew my innermost secrets, He knew every fancy and whim, He knew my joys and troubles, I could pour out my soul to him; He respected my slightest confi¬dence, He expected the same of me; He cheered when sad and down¬hearted, Was as loyal as man could be; He respected my friends as I did, He was always kind and polite; He knew my good and bad quali¬ties, Helped me set the bad ones right. He was surely not perfect; had his faults, He was a gentleman to the end; He knew all about me and loved me still, This man I call a true friend. TOM BROADBENT. THE LOST DIARY Ya! Diary! We've something else to hullabaloo about, up at high now—the girls' dance. It's January 14. Guess I'll go to this one. We girls have decided to ask a boy, any boy, to go to this dance. All the girls are going to ask someone to go. You know, to put the boys to shame, or some idea like that. Can you notice any difference in my English lately? Well, that's what comes of taking English from Mrs. Newcomb. She's sure the "cat's meow" when it comes to English. Well, I just wanted to tell you about the dance in case you would see the boys' party manners crop out. They have had 'em put away ever since September (the manners, I mean). And then the girls have acquired new marcels and have put on their haughti¬est manners. I tell you we have the boys jumping. Oh! It's going to be a wonderful party. I can hardly wait. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION. OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES LOAD UP Your students will never be able to carry the heavy burden of ac¬tual business life unless you put a real load on them each day—a load that will almost reach the limit of their capacity. Beware of everloading, but "load up." H. M. Rowe. PAYS TO ADVERTISE "The classroom teacher is asleep who does not realize that it is his professional obligation to advertise his work to the tax¬payer who pays his salary."—B. J. Raines. WORKING FINE New Year resolutions: (1) Never to be tardy at class, and (2) never to forget the home ex¬cuse after an absence, are work¬ing splendidly in the high school. A very great improvement is noted in both respects already this year. AT WEST ALSO We noto also that the matter of punctuality is receiving attention at West Side High school in Salt Lake. The student body of that school adopted the following res¬olution on Monday. "We hereby resolve on this third day of January, 192 7, to be punctual at all times during this year." GETTING READY Mrs. Agnes Warner Bowen went Wednesday to Salt Lake to look over operatic productions with a view to selecting an opera for presentation during the last week in February. Mrs. Bowen says she is willing to undertake the big job of putting on an opera if she may have the support and help of students, parents and tcachers. COLLEGE HONORS Ogden High students at various colleges throughout the country are making good and in many in-stances winning distinguished hon¬ors; for instance, at Berkeley, Evelyn Corey was recently elect¬ed to the highest national scholar¬ship society, Phi Beta Kappa; Erica Berne has been elected to Gamma Phi Beta and won a $2 50 scholarship for next semester; Helen Grace is a freshman memher of the staff of the "Daily Cal," which means a rotation into the various departments of the newspaper and thorough training in newspaper production. At Notre Dame, John O'Neill has been for the past two years a contributor on the art staff of the university's publications. THOMPSON SCHOLARSHIP Miss Mabel Reynolds is making application for a Thompson me¬morial scholarship at the University of California. It is thought that Mabel's line record in schol¬arship and activities at the high school will go far to secure her an appointment. In addition to this and letters of recommenda¬tion, Mabel has also back of her the splendid records of Ogden High students—Herbert Adams, Garff Wilson, Erica Berne and Helen Grace, who have heretofore received the senolarship. The scholarship is for one year only, but Herbert Adams succeeded in securing it for a second year —the only student so favored, ON THE JOB Miss Grace Atkinson, office Clerk, returned to work Wednes¬day after two weeks' pleasant vacation in sunny California. Mr. Le Conte Stewart also re¬turned after having waged a 10- day battle with the grippe. KEEN DEBATE The athletic rivalry that has existed between our school and the West Side High school is one of old standing. But it has re¬mained for the "Forum," a boys' debating club cf our school, to ar¬range for the first debating con¬test with our old athletic rivals. The boys are debating a question that will be sure to arouse inter¬est and enthusiasm. The question for debate is; "Resolved, that compulsory military training be abolished from the high schools." Frank Rose and Philip Finkel¬stein will support the affirmative side of this question—that is that drill should be abolished. The Salt Lakers will uphold the nega¬tive. Next week our negative team, Vernal Johnson and Grant Chand¬ler, will travel to Salt Lake and meet their affirmative team. The debate here will be held Friday at 2 p. m. All persons interested are cordially invited to attend. GIRLS' ACCOLADE Languorous, dreamy skies, a great slice of crescent moon and the gleaming sand,3 of the desert sleep in the peace of the night. All it; well, but uneventful. Suddenly j there is a silhouette against the dreamy sky; the moon peers down j with eagerness; the sands awake. With a dashing of a mane and a pawing of hoofs, the Arab steed gallops fleetly by. It is the Shiek- ess of Accolade, who, grasping her kidnaped boy friend in a grip of silk, rides out to the gay ba¬zaars of Egypt, and to her Acco¬lade. Laugh and be merry while ye may, for the Girls' Accolade coniAs but once a year, and shiekesses turn not always into shieks, nor are their gold pieces forever at the beck of man. Therefore, I re¬peat, enjoy while ye may, for to¬morrow is but another space from sun to sun. Woe to him who has no date!-— Fay Hopkins. PAGE 33 OF THE LOST DIARY I sure have saw a keen high school the other day. But the only way it beats Ogden High is that it is a brand new building. It sure has got pep and spirit (those two words are not very much overworked, eh, Diary?), but not half as much as dear old Ogden. Weber High school sure has put out a keen paper—they call it the Weber Broadcaster and it sure is good (not nearly so good as the Classicum, but al¬most). They have already organ¬ized a girls' association and a student body and have a paper— that's going some for a new school, I'll jay. If I knew Mr. Fowler or Mr. Wahlquist, I sure would pat them on the back for making such a success of it. One reason we all like this new school so well is because now Ogden High school will have a good fighting bunch to scrap against— and, say, but don't, we scrap? We beat them in football and intend to do the same in basketball—but we always wish them the best of luck, don't we, Diary. WhoopE— there goes that bell and another one of my resolutions just smashed on the rocks—gotta hurry, now, Diary, so toodle-oo.—Girls' Associ¬ation. FRIDAY EVENING, JA OGDEN H MUSIC. 'As music steals from 'neath the artist's bows, And flows at first with never- ceasing strains, Perchance it rises up, then slowly wanes And brings back with it glories no one knows Then fades again into a trance. Then flows Into another stage and proudly reigns Until at last when called from its domains, It leaves a memory behind and goes. And so it is with every living thing To soar and fall, then rise and higher go, To struggle on until the end will bring It closer to the goal it sought to know. And when the Maker calls it to His throne It goes victorious unto its home. —Fred Wheeler. THE SONNET. The above sonnet is typical or at least representative of the writ¬ing of poetry as taught in the Ogden High school. The sonnet, as is well known with its fourteen lines, and rhyming scheme pre¬scribed is one of the most difficult of poetic forms. We think the students do remarkably well— sometimes surprising themselves. WILSON TO JUDGE. D. J. Wilson has kindly con¬sented to act as judge in our de¬bate today with West Side. This is to be one of the big debates of the year. GOOD HEALTH REPORT. Miss Gerda Jacobson has re¬cently made a survey of Ogden City schools and finds 74.4 per cent of all children normal so far as weight, nutrition and health are concerned. Principal Underwood reports that several children in the Madi¬son school who are under weight come from Ogden's best homes and that underweight is evidently not due to under-nourishment. TO TEACHERS Superintendent Hopkins says: Teaching school is a wonderful business. Our shortcomings shame us for we are not alone in paying the penalty for our blunders. When we blunder we make a bad im¬pression upon the minds of those we mislead. I wonder if we have been content to be merchants of dead yesterdays when we should have
