'RAY FOR THE GIRLS! The annual big dance of the year was bigger than ever at the Berthana Friday night. After weeks of preparation the girls at last hitched old Maude to the buggy and took the unsuspecting boys to the biggest event of their young lives. The Accolade was immensely enjoyed by everyon who attenderd-—but woe to the one who did not get a date. The girls showed the fellows how to handle a dance with all the trimmin g. The pocketbooks became thinner and thinner as each boy tried his very best to find the most ex¬pensive things on the menu-— most of them were very success¬ful, but the girls were good sports and merely ordered a glass of water and a toothpick. Everyone on the committee deserves a great deal of credit for the spirit of co-operation. Dorothy Coop as president and Lenore Malan as general chairman de¬serve an abundance of individual praise for the way in which the dance was carried on. All right, boys—now show what you can do! —Girls' Association. TELEPHONE CALLS. Patrons and friends are asked not to call students at school, ex¬cept for unusual cause. The school has adopted a rule that it will deliver personal messages to stu¬dents if they are really necessary, but will not call students to the telephone, nor will telephone num¬bers be delivered to students. A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS. The following excerpt is taken from a splendid address given before the students on Friday last by Instructor E. S. Smith: Into the life of every person, man or women, at some time or other there comes a friend whose impressions for good upon the character are more indelibly stamped upon that individual than all impressions made by the hosts of lesser friends he may have grouped around him. In the life of a man it is usu¬ally a woman; in the life of a girl this friend is also usually a woman. She is the type that begets honor for she is always honorable. She is revered for she is ever reverent. She begets kindness for she is always kind. She begets love for life has taught her how to love. She knows the true value of honesty, sincerity, humility "and hard work, for these have always been cardinal virtues in her life. She can meet oppression, hard¬ship, reverses, with strong heart, firm faith and boundless courage and energy. The crowning glory which once was her pride and the envy of her associates is streaked with silver from the unfailing brush of Father Time. The face that once was consid¬ered lovely has been made beau¬tiful now by the marks which only years of fine and upright living can give. She is my mother. She is your mother. And speaking as I do now from the memory of her great nobility I would feel inclined to advise that in your unguarded hour, which sooner or later comes to all mortals, you pause for a mo¬ment at her shrine to gain spirit¬ual strength. So friends—just a moment I've had a great day In toasting the girls In so awkward a way But now I'll propose The toast that is best 'Tis one in a million And outshines the rest Don't laugh when I tell you This toast beats all others But here's one more toast friends A toast to our mothers. And may I not with a full sense of propriety add—"to the mothers of the great men and women of a greater tomorrow?" THIRTY-EIGHTH PAGE OF THE LOST DIARY. Well, Diary, we have some real orators in our school. Vernal and Grant sure pulled the wool over West High's optics. First Philip and Frank gave them the air on the affirmative side and then Mr. Johnson and Mr. Chandler showed them the principles of debating on the negative team. I sure think the Forum must know their gro¬ceries when they produce such a keen bunch of debating professors. W. Smith also deserves a lot of credit too—because he is their ad¬visor—and that is some job, what I mean. Then Ogden High school has been blessed with another prophet or whatever you want to call them. Anyway. Ed. Smith sure knows how to boost the girls—and he knows how to unboost them, too. I didn't know that Ave had such a clever teacher in the whole school—we sure like and appre¬ciate him, though, don't we, Diary? If everyone Avould regard their mothers in the light he suggested —we would all be better men and women when we had the chance. I don't think the boys (I mean some of them) respect the girls half enough—but then I am not a preachcr, Diary, so bye-bye. P. S.—I sure had a swell time at the Accolade but I Avill have to tell you more about it tomor¬row because Mrs. Irwin has called on me twice and I thought that she Avas talking about the dance so I answerpd her in like terms. Good bye again—see you in the office. —Girls' Association. OGDEN H ENGLISH GRAMMAR. People today are very much in ¬terested in English grammar. At night school there is a large class of adults that is very much inter¬ested in the subject. For the past few years the subject has been offered at senior high and has proved a A'ery popular course. To meet the demands of this subject five new classes in English gram¬mar Avill be organized next sem¬ester. INTERESTING APPEAL. The head of the English depart¬ment has oA her blackboard this interesting paragraph: "If in your heart of hearts you know you need grammar, notify me. There is nothing that will help overcome errors more than a course in grammar. Do not wait for me to tell you to take it. In¬stead notify me that you Avant to register for it. Come on, all ye who are weak in the use of the mother tongue." SECOND SEMESTER. The second semester program will differ little from the first. The only changes are those neces¬sitated by the presence in school of half year pupils. To accom¬modate these the following half year classes will be organized: Five English grammar; one history D; four sociology; three econom¬ics; two commercial law; three botany; one geology; two phys¬iology; one solid geometry; two algebra C; one geometry A; one electrical construction; one sewing; two cooking; one public speaking: one oral expression. It is thought that with these new classes all students can be comfortably ac¬commodated. REGISTER FRIDAY. Students will register on Friday during the advisory period, and all classes will meet on Monday Avithout interruption. Students who cannot complete registration on Friday are asked to meet with the principal or vice principal on Saturday morning to complete reg¬istration. BOX ELDER SEATS. Box Elder will be seated on the east side of gymnasium (Weber) on Friday night, ami Ogden or, the west. Reserved sections will be held in the center on both sides of the hall. FACULTY MEETING. Miss Emma Chesney gave an interesting review of a recent article on "a Substitute for Right¬eousness" at faculty meeting Tues¬day. The article argued that an appeal to truth and beauty has more effect upon modern youth than the prohibitions and condem¬nations that are usually held out. E. S. Smith outlined the plans for Ogden's great annual carnival, the Classicalia. WHAT IS A CLASSIC? Laurence Abbott says a classic should possess one or all of these qualities: It should reflect the mode of thought and the customs and man¬ners of its times. E. g. The dialogues of So¬crates, the novels of Jane Austen. It should be written in a beautiful and striking style. E. g. The Gettysburg address. It should spring from an ap¬peal to a cultivated imagination. E. g. Keats poetry. It should be a contribution to the thought of the world and should stimulate the thought of the world. E. g. The Essays of Emerson. It should possess a universal human interest and express all phases of human experience. E. g. The Bible, Shakespear. LETTER APPRECIATED. The following letter was re¬ceived on Monday and is appre¬ciated by students of the Forum club. Addressed to Willis Smith, it came from Supt. W. Karl Hop¬kins and reads: "Permit me to offer to you and to the members of the Forum my sincere congratulations upon your recent victories in debating. It is a real victory Avhen you can win on both sides of the same ques¬tion. "The four boys who participated have brought honor to the club and to the school they represented. I am proud of you all and cer¬tainly wish you continued success." THIRTY-NINTH PAGE OF THE LOST DIARY. You know I promised to tell you about the girls' dance, Diary, so here goes! I got there right after the grand march—and I sure had some grand march to find Dorothy Coop to get a pro¬gram. Nearly everyone in high school was there and a good time was enjoyed by all. The punch was sure short and snappy, but I sure was glad 'cause my guy got a crajjing for green punch about every fiA'e minutes—so about every five minutes I burned leather and got some for the poor fish. I kinda Avish that they would attach a hose to the punch boAvl and then all I would have to do is put it in his mouth and then I could rest a while. Oh—guess Avho was there! A lot of girls with not much on danced. After they were through dancing they put their costumes in their compacts, got dressed and then they had the nerve to come out and dance witji the respectable fellows from Og¬den High school. Mr. Merrill was there too—doing his part in the nation-wide campaign of trying to ruin the girls' dancing slippers. If I am any judge, they sure were successful—especially if the slip¬pers were very expensive.—Girls' Association. VOICES. Leaves rustle in the breeze; winds Avhistle down the rugged j canyons; thunder heralds the storm; brooks murmur their way to the ocean, and flowers fill the air with their fragrance. Every¬thing seems to have a way of ex¬pressing itself; a voice by Avhich we tell its mood. If we approach a farmyard, we may be greeted by a dog's bark, and it does not take us long to decide Avhether .o continue or to retreat; we stoop , to pet a kitten—rher voice soon indicates whether she be pleased or no. Man, the highest form of life, has been given the poAver of ar¬ticulate speech. Is there any one thing that speaks louder than the voice? I do not mean louder in volume, but rather in what it portrays. The human voice has great attraction for me—it ex¬presses sincerity, depth of char¬acter, honesty and seriousness quite as often as the reverse. I wonder whether I place too high a value on the voice, i don't know, perhaps, in man, its qualities are often acquired, and are not therefore true to charater as are the voices of nature; never¬theless, I somehow feel that the cultivation of the speaking voice is more rare than the cultiAation of other attributes, and for this reason, interprets somewhat truth¬fully, at least. Have you ever seen a man with a powerful physique, but with a puny half-scared voice? He could not convince me that Calvin Coolidge is president of the United States. Did you eer hear a person give instructions in an inde¬cisive tone, which trailed off in the distance like a rivulet, you knew not Avhcre? Did you feel that it mattered much vhether you obeyed or not? There are a few voices that I can recall after many years of silence—a certain tone, a certain deference, a certain something that told that there were things worth while back of the vibration of the vocal chords. A voice giv«s me either the desire to see and to know its owner or it repulses me. I remember several years ago while driving slowly along a country road, a voice spoke out of the darkness to ask directions as to the Avay. That voice had a cer¬tain charm—I have always won¬dered Avhat sort of person pos¬sessed it.—Bertha Olsen. Ogden High THE LAST NIGHT Night drops down unheard And wraps her darling world In a blanket Of soft dark velet And watches her darling dream By the light of her golden moon. I pass the lighted windows And stop to stare in each. The night-crowds whirl around me; I say "Good-night!" to each, For tomorrow I must go away, And I'd like tc linger. —Robert True.

It teads like this: "We do not believe in saving simply to accumulate money, nor as a negative impulse in fear of hard luck or a rainy day. "We believe in saving as a ma¬soned means of achieving definite, worthy objects, for the active bringing about of good times, for comfort, for happiness and for better citizenship; Ave believe that money should be saved only to be exchanged for better things." NOT EVERYTHING We presume it is but a plati¬tude to say tliat students are in school for what they can get out of it. Yet it seems that students do not generally act upon that principle. They talk and act as if they are in school to get marks. Too frequently we hear students say, "I'm not getting passing marks, I'd juft as Avell quit the class." Perhaps even teachers place too great value upon marks,
