An excellent article concerning the school is found in the October number of The Nation's Schools magazine. Here are a few interesting facts concerning the school: It is one of the two senior high schools of Honolulu. The other school is the Roosevelt. Both, of course, were named in honor of two American presidents. The McKinley school in 1930 had an enrollment of 2,582 during the first semester and about 2700 the second semester. It is perhaps the most cosmopolitan school in the world as is evidenced by the per-sonnel of its student body officers: Student boy president, Harry Y. S. S. Mau, a Chinese boy; vice president, Hooluaru Burns, a Hawai¬ian-Anglo Saxon girl; treasurer, Wilfred Chang, a Chinese boy; sec¬retary, Francis M. F. Ching, a Ha¬waiian Chinese; clerk, Richard Kawamota, a Japanese boy; sheriff, George Sue, a Chinese; editor of the Penion, Richard Weinberg, a German boy; business manager, Ed¬ward Mitsukado, a Japanese. SCHOOL RULES Ogden students would certainly feel quite at home if they should attend the McKinley school, which during the past ten years has been governed by the following rules: 1. Every student must be in a classroom or reading room during six regular periods of the school day. Cutting of classes is prohibit¬ed. 2. A special program must have the approval of the adviser. Loafing during the school day will not be tolerated. School time Is work time. No pupil may leave the school grounds between the hours of 7:30 and 11:45 a. m., without special permission of the adviser.. Tardiness must be avoided. In order to drop a subject or change a class the pupil must first obtain the approval of the proper department head. A pupil who wilfully violates the rules of the school will be put on probation. If the offense is re¬peated the pupil may be dropped from school as an undesirable citizen The good name of our school demands that pupils be orderly and attentive during assembly. Rowdyism about the school can not be tolerated. Pupils must not loiter about this school after 2:30 p. m. R. O. T. C.

Companies C and D tiec for first honors as a company. A company competition will be held prior to Armistice day parade, pro-vided the weather permits. The first parade of the year was held Friday. While carrying of the rifles and holding lines were noth¬ing to brag about, it was generally better than last year, with the band showing the greatest gain in effi-ciency. Our sponsors appeared with their units for the first time. We are proud of them.

SENIOR CLASS MEETING The first meetiig of the senior class for this year was called to order by President Farr.

President Farr reported that the rings will cost $5.45; deposit of $4; the pins will cost $2.25, deposit $2; pins with guard, $3.50, deposit of $3. This report was accepted by a motion. Mr. Lutzer reported that it was the custom for each senior class to present some present to the student body. A committee, composed of Robert . Bingham, chairman, Curtis Bybee, Meyer Lutzker, Virginia Hunter, Holley Anther, and Mary Louise Dobbs, was appointed to look into the advisability of giving a present. —Bill Alsup, secretary.

For your wits are your Implements of combat. There is a threatenisg challenge to our intelligence, honor, ability and school spirit. Last Thursday in the senior class meeting it was suggested that the senior class take upon its shoulders the task of erect¬ing a school emblem on the cam¬pus. This emblem is to be char¬acteristic of our school and our ideals and is to be considered as a senior class present to the school. Then it was suggested that if we do make any appropriation for some cause that it should be for the annual. But seniors, are you not making a two dollar donation to the annual when you buy your stu¬dent body tickets? Are not the proceeds of the Classicalia at the disposal of the yearbook? About the year 1916 was the last time a senior class presented a class present. Since then the senior classes have not kept up the tra¬dition. Are we, too, to pass on without leaving some indication of our loy¬alty? We will leave behind us something which is representative of our class and our school. And is not a school emblem the most adequate thing? It will be a per¬petual memorandum of each senior. What we want, seniors, is your wholehearted support in our efforts to secure the proposed emblem as a present from the class of '32. Meyer Lutzker. FOOTBALL GAME Such school spirit! What a band! Such songs! Such yells and all that enthusiasm gone to naught. Logan walloped us badly, but our boys I played a snappy game. Maybe the a team was so enraptured by our ; school spirit that they forgot to ' play hard enough. Whatever was , the matter we are certain it will , be righted before the next game, and the score will be 20 to 6 in our [ favor instead of their's. GEMS OF TRUTH "An ideal is an idea with a heart ; in it."—Peckstein. There is a good way of running the schools and a bad way.

CHATTER AND CHAFF We wonder why Jean Danvers blushes so much. Is it hereditary or contagious. Virginia Hunter: I'm in the "pink of condition." Mildred Larson: Oh, have you pink tooth brush? Auss Farr has some new imper¬sonations in his repertoire. They are: "Three weeks in the desert without water" and a "Rudy Val- lee." Oct. 28, 1931 O . H. S.

LET'S KEEP JUG Though our last two league games : have proved rather unsuccessful— that is, for us—our big chance comes Friday afternoon when we meet We¬ber High. To the victor of these games, as you know, goes the "Little Brown Jug." Last year Ogden High managed to get the jug in her pos¬session and it is the hope of every loyal high school student that we may retain it this year. This undoubtedly is the most in¬teresting game of the season and the student body is expected to give its very best support.

We would like to organize one. Thanking you in ad-vance, we remain—Two Anxious Correspondents. Dear Anxious Correspondents: Mrs. Irwin would be glad to answer your questions on this question. See her and she will tell you the re¬quirements.—Aunt Jane. ZETA PHI XI Meeting was held at the home of Jean Danvers Thursday night. Our pledges, sweet things, were al-lowed to come, too. We discussed many important things (including our drastic initiations) with the help of our capable advisor, Miss Corliss. Our tennis tournament was post¬poned because of the unobliging weather man. We hope it will clear up. Don't you? Speaking of the weather and the snow and so forth, reminds me of Christmas and speak¬ing of Christmas reminds me of presents. Well, speaking of presents reminds me of something really wonderful. Just watch for it in the girl's rest room. Zeta is proud of its soon-to-be donation. Can you wait to see it? We offer competi¬tion, and it is really worth it. .It won't be long now. Au revoir. MILDREN LARSON, Reporter. D. A. C. The Dramatic Art club met last Thursday, Director Woolley presid¬ing. The persons who received in-vitations were given a cordial wel¬come into the club. A program was presented. Miss Gladys Jones gave a reading, Miss Edna Williams a vocal solo, and last but not least a play was read by Miss Newman, the dramatic art teacher of Central Junior High. We wish to express our sincere grati¬tude for her kindness. After the program the visitors were given application blanks to fill out.

Pretzel McFoolish, it is my sad duty to inform his readers (if any) that Pretzel has been justly accused of deserting his wife and young Pretzel Junior in England. That is the reason he stowed away on the boat that finally landed in Alaska. Tomorrow begins the search of Pretzel Junior for his father. Please stand by. O ct. 29, 1931 O.H.S.

Mrs. McFoolish pleaded with her son hot to leave her too, but he was determined. He bade his mother goodbye and started toward Liverpool.
