FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1934. Lesson Lies In Picture Of Patriot Imagination Aroused By Unfinished Painting of Washington OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor THE UNFINISHED PICTURE Hive you noticed the large pictures of George Washington around the school? Take time to stop and look at one of these pictures. You will notice that at the bottom of the painting is a white mass of colors. Whether this white part of I the painting has a part to play in the scene or not, we can't say. I have always thought that the picture was unfinished. With that thought comes the story that I think of when I look at the picture. In my mind I see a painter at work at his canvas, painting a picture of the Father of our Country. President Washington is seated posing for the artist. He has not much time to spare in these days of revolution, but he managed to find time to sit for the portrait. As the painter nears the end of his task, a knock comes at the door of the studio. An officer of the American forces enters and informs Washington that he is badly needed at the army camps. Realizing that his country needs his help more than his picture, Washington leaves the studio, with the picture yet unfinished. During the following months Washington fights battle after battle. There is not time to have the picture finished, such a thing would be too small to take the valuable time of the great leader. Once again we find the kind of man that places duty to country before all else. I turn my eyes away from the portrait, but I cannot get the story out of my mind. Look at the picture. Do you have any ideas about it? In other words, have you any imagination?—Blaine Larsen. THINK IT OVER These few lines from these men tell what friendship is, and how one may keep it. 'Tis thus that on the choice of friends Our good or evil name depends —John Gay. Don't flatter yourself that friend¬ship authorizes you to say disagree¬able things to your intimates — Oliver Wendell Holmes. It is a good thing to be rich, and a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends.—Euripides. Just think these few quotations over. They may help you. —Shir Lee. "STOP AND GO" SIGNS Not very many years ago it was the custom to leave school upon the completion of the eighth grade. At the commencement exercises, the sign flashed "stop." Progress in the scholastic lines were forgotten, and youngsters in their early teens flocked to the employment agencies. It was not even uncommon for a girl or boy with this meager amount of education to become a teacher. What a contrast with our teachers of university training today. The tenth grade greatly resembles the graduating class of those days, for there is a break in our school life. Many students feel that our education at Junior High school should not be linked with that of senior high school. It is, compulsory for each person to attend school until he is eighteen or until he has finished the twelfth grade and al¬lowance is made for these attend¬ing part-time school. Even this is not satisfactory to some, however, and they are tempted to leave school. They should remember that i the "stop" sign of education should not be heeded until they have acquired education, abundant enough to carry them through life as intellectual, well-bred, comfortable, and respected citizens. An ignorant person is not an asset to the United States, to which every person should contribute his best. Until through with education, the "go" lights should always be before each person to pilot him in his scholastic career.—Le Ida Roberts. CHARMING STUDENTS In Ogden High school are many students who have charms magne¬tic, grace unbounded, and loveliness plentiful. These praiseworthy char¬acteristics are easily seen by the fine reactions of the youths and maidens to various happenings which occur in the school. For ex¬ample, when a call was given to help the needy at Yuletide, every individual who possibly could, sup¬ported the cause without regard for any personal discomfort in prepar¬ing Christmas baskets. Many of those in clubs have stud¬ied harder to raise their grades to; boost the commendable organizations in which they belonged, showing a spirit of appreciativeness. Others have strived diligently in performing many campaigns undertaken by the student body to attain a desired end. These are only a few of the num¬erous instances demonstrating the graciousness of high school individ¬uals. May their laudable qualities never change.—Emily Merrill. CALL TO ACTION Some of you students like to be coaxed, so I'm pleading now. Won't you please write something for the notes? For the last week we have had about two articles in the note box each day and at least six or seven articles are sent down. That means that the editors and asso¬ciate editors must do most of the writing. This is the only reason why there seems to be monopolization of the Notes. It's all your own fault- You've certainly been told often enough, but I'm telling you again. We need your support, so write.— M. P. DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTION The high school of today is a school for all the children of all the people. It is the common meet¬ing ground of rich and poor, bond and free. It is not a place that fosters cliques nor clans; it is not a place where there can be manifest¬ed any spirit of class distinction. In the words of the declaration of independence—here we are free and equal. It is a place where one finds not a few friends, but many, many friends. The wider our circle of friends, the broader our sympathy, the greater our love, and the larger our sphere of influence. The board of education and the school faculty are very much inter¬ested in fostering a wise, generous, patriotic spirit of democracy in our school. Our slogan is "each for all, and all for each." by men during the last thou¬sand years has been a failure. "It is the one chance that the world has of being saved from its own greed and desire for na¬tional or personal advantages." Taylor outlined his plan at a meeting of the Arch street meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1934.

While their captain and leader, Jules Dieu, sat injured on the bench, the Weber High school bas¬ketball team fought the league lead¬ing Ogden Tiger off its feet Fri¬day night while Logan was downing South Cache, to emerge with third place position in the district one race. As a result of the games Logan won the division with nine victories and one defeat, Ogden came sec-ond with eight victories and two defeats and Weber third with sev¬en victories and three defeats. SUPERB HEIGHTS The contest was the story of a team which rose to superb heights when it was expected to fall. The injury of Dieu, center and one of the leading scorers of the division, was thought to be a severe handi-cap to the Warriors but instead it seemed to inspire them to where they played the best ball of the season. Verdi Powell, who substituted for Dieu, played sensational ball to emerge as the individual hero of the contest. The guarding was ex¬ceptionally close on both sides and the game was seven minutes and ten seconds along before Bingham, Weber guard, tipped in the first basket although he previously miss¬ed two foul pitches, Thomas, run¬ning mate, missed one and Jensen and Greenwell, Ogden players, fail¬ed to convert free throws. The first quarter ended 2 all. Og¬den took the lead in the second quarter which ended 9 to 12 but Weber passed the Tiger to lead 16 to 17 at the end of the third. The fourth quarter was all Weber and the Tigers scored only one point, a foul pitch by Jensen, while the Warriors counted seven. The Ogden forwards failed to count for the Tigers, Jensen scor¬ing three points with a basket and a foul pitch. Weber will meet South Rich, win¬ners. of the Rich division, for the right to enter the tournament. OTHER GAMES While Logan was downing South Cache at Hyrum 34 to 27, Preston took the measurements of North Cache 30 to 26 at Richmond and Box Elder and Bear River went into an extra period before the Bees emerged victorious 27 to 25. In a preliminary game the Ogden second team defeated the Weber second squad 19 to 14. Box scores: WEBER G.T.
