DAY DREAMING Of all the vices that students practice during school hours, day dreaming is by far the most wide¬ly used. As an addict to this habit, I can say in all truthfulness and justice to everyone involved that it is horribly and shamefully abus¬ed. The students of- today have no conception of the true art that has gradually slipped into oblivion through misuse. During class time the hypocriti¬cal student of the present does not relax in his seat, but rather bal-ances himself on the edge, and, tak¬ing a dejected attitude, begins to mull over in his disturbed brain the problems of school life. He soon works himself into such a state of overwrought emotion that Old Man Conscience gains the upper hand, and what happens? Anxiety gives way to ambition and he ac¬tually tricks himself into working. On the other hand, in the days of true art, this rarely occurred, as set rules were followed. Immediately upon entering a room in the old days the student walked with lagging steps up to his desk, whereupon he gave vent to a pro¬digious yawn and settled comfort¬ably back. If there was a window present he gazed out into the clouds and cleared his brain of any un¬desirable school troubles by reflec¬tions on events. Anything from balmy Egyptian nights to wild life in the Aleutian islands passed through his susceptible brain until the period rapidly dwindled away. This process was repeated until the allotted time for school had miracously passed and the satisfied stu¬dent hurried out to freedom. This little description just goes to show how much true art has de¬preciated in the past few years and the drastic changes that are brought about, due to carelessness.—Ralph Halverson. THE FIRST OGDEN (Installment 2) While the main group we men¬tioned in the first article had gath¬ered, there were still some who were making their lonesome way through woods and hills on which danger abounded. Finally an Indian rode into camp, who reported that one band of trap¬pers was out of ammunition and in danger of being attacked. Some¬one had to take them ammunition; and for this task, Sublett and sev¬eral others volunteered. They met the party near what is now Brig¬ham City and, after distributing the ammunition, they started with School beginning at eight-thirty —a dangerous hazard to the health of the student, due to lack of sleep it necessitates. Demerits—A brutal method of ob¬taining results in drill. Stillness in study hall—a form of obedience in which one must try to observe the rules of perpetual quietude. Knowledge— an illusion that is here today and gone tomorrow. Uselessly sought after by students and rarely absorbed. Tests—a method of punishment that a teacher resorts to when all others fail. Girls—the one and only redeem¬ing feature of school life. Uselessness— these definitions.— Ralph Halverson. the party they had rescued. Some¬where near the site of Plain City, however, a Blackfeet war party met them and attacked. They were successful in driving the Blackfeet off, but lost one of their number. Shortly after this group reached the camp, a horde of 4,000 Snake Indian men, with their families, rode up. They were friendly and camped with the whites to trade. Shortly afterward, a friend rode in, saying the Blackfeet, deadly ene¬mies of the Snakes, had attacked some berry pickers, killing two wo¬men and carrying off all the chil¬dren but one, who brought back the news. This story greatly excited the Snakes, and, accompanied by all the white trappers, they rode out in search of the marauding Black¬feet. A short distance from the site of Mound Fort, they met the enemy; and one of the most fierce¬ly contested Indian battles of the west was fought. At the end of six hours of savage fighting, the Black¬feet escaped, leaving 38 dead on the scene. The Snakes and the trap¬pers' losses were mostly in wound¬ed with only a very few losing "their lives. And here in Ogden we have no romance! No history! Nothing un¬til the pioneers settled here in 1847?—W. B. STUDENTS WILL DANCE FRIDAY Queen Will Be Elected To Rule At Annual Classicalia OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. This Friday is a red-letter day for Ogden High school—the date of the Classicalia at the Berthana ballroom. Merry-makers of every kind will be strewn about the hall to cre¬ate the atmosphere of festivity. Fun and laughter will prevail everywhere at the biggest, grandest, most ad¬vertised dance of the year. Come and enjoy the most unforgettable evening of the season. Tickets are on sale for forty cents each or for seventy-five cents a couple. All club members are re-quired to attend; all others are urged to be present at the gala Classicalia, the Ogden High School Mardi Gras. Those who wish may come stag, but it is preferred that we come in couples. Remember the date! Friday. LA VIN FOR QUEEN Who do we want for queen? La Vin Cragun, one of the loveliest, most charming, likable, queenly girls of the whole student body. She has all the attributes necessary to be the queen of the best Classicalia ever held in the history of the school. She is the ideal girl, the girl every one can be proud of to represent their choice in the popu¬larity race for queen. Show your appreciation to one who gives her all for the benefit of her classmates; cast your votes for La Vin. (When this is printed the queen will have been elected.—Ed.) SPRING VACATION As April first draws near, the stu¬dents of our school become more and more restless for that long-awaited vacation. The teachers, no doubt, will have a problem on their hands coaxing work from the spring fever- infested students. The students will also have a prob¬lem to face. How one can remain in school and resist the urge to go on a hike is one question that takes precedence over all other thoughts during this week. "Intelligent work is the yeast that raises the dough." A teacher is one who teaches what should be taught when a real teach¬er teaches. A student is one who studies what should be studied when a collegiate concentrates. SPANISH CLASS REPORT Treat after treat is arranged by our Spanish instructor Senor Han¬cock. The Spanish classes during the last week have enjoyed a pre¬view of the Spanish play of Cen¬tral, "La Paloma" and an accordian recital by Jess Romariz, the villain of the play. If the members of the class at¬tended the presentation of the play, they were allowed to sleep in class the following day. The members unable to attend were forced to con¬tribute all of the recitation.—Re¬porter. SURPRISES TO BE SPRUNG AT MUSIC EVENTS Prediction Is Made Public Will Get Unexpected Pleasure OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The music festival of Region 1 promises to be one of the real ev¬ents of the year. Reports from Cache county, Morgan, Box Elder, Davis, are most encouraging. It is estimated 5,000 people will come into Ogden for the affair, 2,000 of whom will be active participants. The public, at large, not really being cognizant of what is being accom¬plished in music in the public schools of today, has some most pleasant surprises awaiting it. The parade Saturday morning April 13, will be colorful, spectacular, en¬chanting. No one can afford to miss this. Neither should one miss the contests that will take place in sev¬eral centers of the city. Watch for the full program and then arrange to hear the particular type of music that you like best. NEW BOOKS FOR LIBRARY On Wednesday, through courtesy of Superintendent Hopkins, we add¬ed to our school library "The Amer¬ican Yearbook, a Record of Events and Progress for 1934." It goes without saying that this book is appreciated and that someone's nose, teacher's or pupil's will be found in this book every hour of every day. WE ARE HONORED On Wednesday, Mrs. Vera Frey Beason extended an invitation to our quartet to participate in a state wide musical program arranged by the Utah Federation of Music clubs, to be held in Salt Lake City on the afternoon of April 8. The invitation was accepted. YEARBOOKS Students are gradually awakening to the fact that their time for or¬dering yearbooks will soon be past. A few orders are trickling in. May we suggest that if you wish a year¬book, that you had best order now? One dollar deposit will insure you the book. A LIVE WIRE High school pupils are always alive, alert, active, but when a teacher evidences enthusiasm, pep, ginger, etc., as Instructor Adelbert Farnsworth is now doing as general manager of the Classicalia, it is a matter of news worth mentioning. We mention it, and congratulate Mr. Farnsworth on his youthfulness. HOLMES HAS FAILED The plot thickens. The mystery is deep and dark. All are puzzled; all are waiting in fearful suspense. The great Sherlock Holmes himself had been called on the case, but, for the first time in the history of his renowned career, he has fail¬ed. There were no clues, no scents. He had nothing to work on. All had been kept dark and will be kept dark until the night of the Classi¬calia. If you want to find out that which has baffled the great sleuth himself, like him you will have to attend the dance, for at the Classi¬calia and the Classicalia only will, the queen of Ogden high be made known.—Barbara Clark. "DEFINITIONS" A teacher's mind—a mechanical organism crammed to the zenith with information. Utterly without emotion. An acknowledger of bad in a student. School life—a continual race to get to class with brief interludes of rests called assemblies. Combinations on lockers—instiga¬tors of madness designed in a hec¬tic moment by some moron. Bulletin board—a jumbled mass of dates and events that only a mas¬ter mind could decipher. Lessons—a gigantic obstacle, al¬most unsurmountable, placed as a stumbling block by over - zealous teachers.
