Then report card is a written report of tbe capability of a teacher to teach the subjects in question to the var- ' lobs students. Of course, there are exceptions to this; sometimes the student either refuses to work or he ; hsjn't the mental capacity for doing K. In either case the parent must sorely be aware of the following re- nits: Lazy student plus good teacher equals poor mark. Brilliant student plus good teacher equals ex- eellent mark. Student below aver-1 age mentality plus good teacher equals poor mark. f The report card is in reality a re- fj Mpt and should be handled as —Fay Cardon. R. O. T. C. UNIT PRAISED Thursday morning the R. O. T. C. unit came in for a lot of things, Mostly good. First, Captain Sparks KM us we would not have to come to drill Friday. The whole unit ap- pbwded and cheered, for it meant f itra hour of sleep. Then along s Mr. Merrill, and says: "X you will have to come at -thirty just the same." Some- npe 18 always taking the joy out of Me. This we greeted with—well, use your own judgment. The unit next came in for praise from the officers. Captain Sparks jflrid he thought the unit this year was ten per cent better than the junlt last year. Also that company competition had been initiated since j 'Tuesday, with D company winning, land C company winning Wednesday I Be then called upon the captains to I five their estimation of their com¬panies Captain Neilson was first and he said he was mighty proud of D company and thought he had the ttest company of the lot. Captain 8parks agreed with him, saying that D company was a good company all way around, that they were pushing those bigger cadets all over tbe place. Captain Wangsgard of company C was next praised for his company. Then came Captain Boyle Of B company. He offered excuses for his company, but thought they would come through and win the cop. Captain Fowler of A company was next and he also offered ex- OUtes for A's poor showing, but he Was sure they would also win the cup. Recall then sounded to end drill until next year. —Sid Gordon. WORD TO THE WISE Just in case anyone is so bur¬dened and engrossed with his studies that he has forgotten, we wish to take this means of notifying that hypothetical person that the Christ¬mas dance, commonly known as the Hollyitus Hopitus, is "just around tbe corner," However, we assure jjou that the corner that it is just [sound is several corners nearer thai the one which prosperity is re- iported to be around. TV Hollv Hod should be and will be one of the best dances of the' school year. The only condition on which it would not be such would be that the aspiring males did not aspire, with the result that there would be no one present but "stags." There are really a lot of nice girls still waiting for a chance to say yes, tod it really is a shame that they "Should be kept in suspense any longer. Please think it over, you in tbe wool misogynists. (If you don't know what it means, look it up in tbe dictionary.) Remember at the last dance how you stood on one loot for at least half an hour and then your only diversion Was to stand on the other? You wouldn't want it to happen again? Well, then, give the fare (or is it fair) sex a break. —Charles Wood. COUNCIL ' Regular council meeting was called to order by President Stone.

So under the very capable direction of the Girls' association (one of the school's very valuable assets) each advisory class was asked to provide a basket for some poor family. If you happened, for any reason, to be In the office Friday afternoon you t saw the result. Thirty baskets, lit-1 erally boxes and boxes, some two ' or three for a family, were made up and sent out through the Children's Aid society. The perishable goods are being sent later. In addition, a' nice sum of money is being sent to the Good Fellows. The Girls's asso- siation, the classes and the office ixe to be congratulated for the fine so-operative spirit shown in this work. —b T ANOTHER VICTORY Last Thursday marked another rictory for the Ogden hoopsters. Ihis is the second game with Davis high. It was a decisive victory, and the score was 40-24. We hope that our boys keep up the good work and reap victory in the league games. Their playing has been excellent and we wish to con¬gratulate them. FAMOUS DISMISSALS Russ Stone: Assembly—adjourn. Mrs. Newcomb: You are excused. Captain Sparks: Dismissed. Bill Thompson: Well, I'll be seein' Ik- Jim Gibson: Pansy. Any girl: I'm awfully sorry; I Have a date. —Charles Wood. THE LITI-N-AIRY DIGEST E.

The music was under the direction of Mr. Han¬son. The girls' and boys' glee clubs and the orchestra gave the musical score. The oratorio was "The Holy City." The soloists were: Darrel Upp, Max Hooper, Del Towers, Ivan Burnett, Lloyd Stevens, Arleen Ses¬sions, Elnora McFarland, and Helen Sessions. The girls' trio and quar¬tet were heard for the first time. Members of the quartet are Mary Walker, Elsie Penton, Virginia Pet¬erson and Kate Heiner. Members of the trio are Mable Barton,. Gene¬vieve Winward, and Aleanor Um¬ber. A duet was presented by Edna Williams and Arvilla Schouton. A mixed quartet, Darrell Upp, Ruth Hawkins, Barbara Jones, and Ross Lynch, also sang a selection. The presentation brought back fond "memories to those seniors who heard the cantata and brought expecta¬tions to those juniors who will have the pleasure of hearing one next, year. RAMBLINGS If there is a door in existence that has more initials on it than the old iron-bound, gunroom door we would like to see it. This door is truly the only one of its kind in the world and if you haven't seen it l you ought to make a trip to the . lower hall just for that purpose. , ; The traffic problem in our halls is 1 really alarming, and it badly needs a solution. I think that a system of i last and slow traffic lanes with small , parking spaces marked off along , fee sides would help quite a bit. I B. Y. U. REGULATIONS i According to J. E. Hayes, registrar of Brigham Young university, a , student first of all must be a high ' school graduate before he will even ' be considered for entrance to the university. This, naturally, requires that he will have at least sixteen credits of approved high school Among his credits the student must offer an English group of three units, a principled group of three or more units, and a secondary group of two or more units. The principled and secondary group must be selected from either mathematics, science, or history and social science. Effective in the 1932-33 registration, at least one credit in either the principled or secondary group must be in algebra or geometry. In case a student is unable to fur- fctish the official record of his credits on or before the day of registra¬tion, he may be admitted tentative¬ly if the record is furnished within ft month after registration. ! The Brigham Young university of¬fers many attractive courses, and ev¬ery year many Ogden High school students further their education at that school. —Charles Wood. STONE VIRTUES It has been discovered that there toe two things Bill Thompson won't! do. These two things are: He won't push little ducks in the water, and he doesn't tell small children there isn't a Santa Claus. —James Gibson. -i— -'-:-' - i i ' Ogden Tigers Take Close Court Event Weber College Defeated In Pre-Season Game At Weber Gym Trailing, 14 to 21, at the end of the first half, the Ogden High hoop¬sters Monday rallied in the final periods to eke out a 42-to-35 deci¬sion over the Weber college machine.
