Punctuality Described As Asset of Much Value Toward Success In Life Termed Essential Not Only In Crisis But In Daily Work OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. "On the clock of time there is but one word—now." How essential that quality of promptness is, for lives can be lost; armies defeated and success ruined because some¬one did not know the value of a few minutes. Caesar's delay to read a message cost him his life when he reached , the senate house; Napoleon saidi that he defeated the Austrians be¬cause they did not realize the worth of five minutes; and Alfred the Great said that he owned his suc¬cess to being "always ready." Not only in a crisis of life do sec¬onds count, but in our daily work as well. For promptness takes the drudgery out of an occupation and lis the very soul of business. The longer an individual delays whatever he has to do, the harder the task seems. The person who is always leaving important details until to¬morrow makes a poor business man, for he lacks method and seldom at¬tains his goal. It is the man who is ready who wins. Students, now is the time to ac¬quire the quality of punctuality. Let us always be on time, and prompt to our classrooms. The habit of punctuality will be a great aid in our lives—Emily Merrill. THE PRODIGAL SONS The amusement resorts are some¬what like the prodigal son of Bible fame. Staying at home all the time, they wish to enjoy life. The parent, old Father Time, gives them their share of the estate and in May they depart. They embark on a gay sparkling holiday with their newly-acquired friends. As long as they offer good times and fun, their fair-weather friends keep steady com¬pany with them. The resorts are hilarious and feel that this—surely this is life. But their popularity ceases to continue and it dimin-ishes. Their ability to provide thrills becomes apparent and they realize that they are no longer sought out by their friends but are discarded for other forms of diversion. All of their inheritance being spent, and no longer being able to earn a livelihood, they turn franti¬cally to this or that acquaintance for help, to be rudely dismissed. In the depths of despair they return to their home for aid. Father Time happy over their return, allows them to remain with him throughout the fiercest winter, until May ,when they will feel the call of the wilds and desire to be off again in search of good times and their good-time friends. They are doing penance for their misbehavior, now, but nev-! er fear, they will feel the old urge next spring and furnish you with amusements as good as before. — Barbara Taylor. NEW ORGANIZATION A newly organized club which is fast gaining renown at Ogden High school is Ata Byta Pie. In a recent meeting the prospective members were told the club's purpose in be¬coming organized. This seems necessary to remain a secret to all oth¬ers. Charles Martindale, president, having a mania for eating pies in order to retain his schoolgirl complexion, declared that only those having a self-same craze will be al-lowed membership. So all you pie-eaters make known your cravings and hand in your plea to President (Martindale before it is too late — Fanny. THE FIRST TERM MARK As the end of the first school term draws near most of the students begin to wonder what their report card grades will be. They kinda wonder if they have done enough work each night on their lessons to give them A's or B's. In all, however, the grades in the first term are not earned by the students. Many of the teachers don't seem to link the names of the students with the work they do. One may make a bright remark in their recitation yet their grade is unheeded by it. The main thing the teachers mark on this term is the tests they can give. In most cases these tests do not cover the entire course; there¬fore, they don't Rive a fair renresentation of what the student is rightfully worth. Don't you think it is only fair for the teachers to spare the whip and give the students this advantage for the first term, and give them a mark that won't ruin the entire face of his or her report card?

THOUGHTS I wonder if the janitors have ever! heard the phrase, "Turn on the heat," or do they apply a different meaning to it? Where is the Ogden High school (Wit? I seem to remember hearing I someone say that it used to be a peppy school. Remember B. T. and Burp? Come on you witty people who think you can make us laugh and give us a brighter out-look on life. Remember wit leads to pep; pep leads to more fun and pep at the games; games lead to student body tickets. Come on give us some pep in the paper. Nothing can separate: Phyliss and her gum.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1933 School Writer Declares Cadet Unit Means More Than Source Of Credits Has Duty To Perform As Only Group of Kind . Within City OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. Our Ogden High school has a splendid reputation throughout the west for being of the highest type of educational institution. We have at Ogden High a great many kinds of activity, clubs, music, athletics, art and oratory. There is one activity we have in our school that sometimes is looked upon as a means of credit. When some boys enroll for R. O. T. C., they do it with the idea that by tak¬ing drill a certain amount of credit will be derived. They seem to feel that there is nothing to R. O. T. C. but a chance to obtain some easy credit. Fellows, if you take this at¬titude think the matter over and you will be reminded perhaps of the old saying that "we reap just what we sow." If we go into R. O. T. C. with the idea that it is nothing but a tiresome subject, we will find that it will be just that. On the contrary f we get into the spirit of the cause we will find that R. O. T. C. is a unit of a great American machine known as the army. True, we as cadets are not a part of the real army, but should the time come when our nation is in danger we. because of our military training, might be called upon to serve our country. Fellows, we, as a military organ¬ization, sometimes fail to realize that we are the only school organ-ization of our kind in Ogden and that we have a duty to perform in regard to our school, parents and city. The people of Ogden appreciate the fact that there is within their midst a military organization such as ours. Members of the R. O. T. C., we wear the uniform of the United States army and if we will give all we are able to give to the cause, we, in the end, will be a great deal better off than if we carried guns for no other reason than for credits Remember, we get out of a thing just what we.put in.— Blaine Larsen. MARKS Reckoning day is here and stu¬dents are going to receive their just dues in the form of report cards. Some students will have reason to be justly proud of themselves, while others were disappointed, and still others Tyere indifferent. To the proud ones let us say: "Your work has only begun; keep it up." To the disappointed: "You still have a chance for self respect, if you work for it." There is noth¬ing to say to the indifferent for it: would be like "talking to the dead.' —E. M. LOS LORITAS Well, did you see those six happy girls wearing pretty wine colored and white chrysanthemum corsages Wednesday? They were our poor little pledges; but no matter how small we made them feel they were extremely happy. Just so you will know, we would like to take this opportunity of introducing our pledges to you. They are Virginia Burton, Helen Fletcher, Marion Biddy, Jean Miller, Betty Nichols and Irene Roudebush. And speaking of Los Loritas, the senior members are very happy, too. Why? Because they won their first volleyball tour¬nament Tuesday after school. From whom? From their worthy oppon¬ents Congress. We wish to compli¬ment Congress on their fair play and thank them for playing with us. We're sure that by this time everyone knows what an up and do¬ing bunch of girls constitute L. L. and what a fine advisor we have in Mr. Hancock. If you haven't no¬ticed, it is about tme you were opening your eyes. Watch our de¬velopment. Adios — Una Miembra de L. L. SOME THOUGHTS Some things for your considera¬tion: Lessing has said "Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself." "Any man may make a mistake, but none but fools will continue in it." Cicero. "Opportunity has hair in front, behind she is bald, if you seize her by the forelock you may hold her, but, if suffered to escape, not Ju¬piter himself can catch her again." —from the Latin. Sir Drummond says, "He that will not reason is a bigot, he that cannot reason is a fool, and he that dares not reason is a slave."—Barbara Taylor. NEW MEMBERS Fellow students, by the shy glances and excited whispers, it ap¬pears that pledges are being taken into clubs. A. D. M. has done her part, too. We are happy to inform O. H. S. that Darhle Jones, Bar¬bara Taylor, and Ruth Charlesworth are entering our circle. To these girls we wish an enjoyable two years in! A. D. M. — D. S.
