Slow Upward Steps Helpful To Character School Gives Opportunity To Develop Higher Qualities OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor A successful character is built on a sound, concrete foundation. Time, fortunes and wiles will never put a permanent stain on a carefully built character. Unlike those which, when built on a dome of sand, de-note astounding brilliancy and then slowly fade away as they are at¬tacked by man and nature, this natural character stands the test of time. A thing of delicacy it must be constructed according to the finest of plans the greatest drafts¬man can present. By working slowly, facing defeat, sometimes winning, other times los¬ing but never succumbing to its wiles, by making friends, by attain¬ing courage, which is the foundation of all other virtues, one's character is slowly completed. When finished it is a beautiful thing, an achieve¬ment that is attained by few. We are challenged to develop character! With the' assets . that great educational institutions offer to us, we should not fail. Man the mast, clear the deck! Let us see that future generations will not be able to say that we did not take advantage of the great opportun¬ities offered to us in our present day. — Grant Jensen. APPRECIATION In behalf of the Girl Scouts, the Girls' association of Ogden High, and the Ogden High school itself, we wish to give sincerest thanks to Mr. Robert Nye, whose building was used for the rummage sale; to the Paramount theatre for grant¬ing us use of window space for dis¬playing; to Mr. Stewart and the art students of Ogden High and Mr. W. H. Purdy for their efforts in aiding the advertising of the sale; The Standard-Examiner and The Journal for publishing articles for benefit of the sale; and finally to all those who donated goods or aided in any way to make the sale a success. The Girls' association offers con¬gratulations and greatest thanks to Carpe Diem, the club which donat-ed the most articles for the recent rummage sale. Although the prize was not much in material value ($2.00) the appreciation going with it is amply worth their efforts. Thank you Carpe Diem, and all other clubs too.—Ruth Dyer. CLANNISHNESS One of the most apparent, griev ¬ous faults of the whole student body : —no one is excepted—is the tend¬ency to clan like sheep in his own particular clique, never caring in particular albout the pleasures and characteristics of soma boy or girl not in his own crowd. Would one call that prevalent feeling sociabil¬ity? It that an attitude linked with growth and nental expansion? How could any boy or girl ex¬pect to appreciate the feelings and ideas of others when that student has come in contact with the man¬nerisms and thoughts from a nar¬row range of only, perhaps, ten friends or acquaintances? School is a place to meet people, learn more ideas, and gain experience by mingling rth all classes and types of people. The more friends one has, the broader the viewpoint will be because that fortunate individual will have a wide scope from which to form his opinions. No one deliberately wants to be narrow-minded; no one purposely desires to stunt growth mentally or socially. Yet that ultimatum will undoubtedly be reached if each student continues to clan, now and through life. — Emily Merrill. BENEFICIAL RECREATION Aside from the usual spring vaca¬tion activity, a new sport rapidly gained favor during the short rest. Usually the pastime of young child¬ren, the sport gained many older friends during our spring holiday. In this case we shall call the sport "feeding the sea gulls." Provided your mother is willing to give you the material, the sport is one of tin. most simple we have seen. You break up into small pieces the old bread crusts your mother has allot¬ted for the sport. Scatter the bread over a large area of the street in front of your home. If nature takes its course as it should, a flock of white sea gulls will come swooping down on the defenseless bread crusts. The sport comes in watch¬ing the actions of the birds.—Blaine Larsen. DEMONSTRATION On Friday at two-thirty in room 106, a Miss Snow from L. D. S. business college and novice champ¬ion of the United States, will give a demonstration before all stenog¬raphy students.

Stars Show Marks Made By Typists Chart System Leads To Better Efforts In School Training OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Competition, as all people know, Is one of the greatest incentives that one may enjoy. Acknowledging this fact, Mrs. Franke has a system which incites keener interest and enthusiasm in typing. That method is having a chart recording every student's work by means of orange, green, blue, red, silver, gold and black stars glued on the cardboard, each star denoting how many words can be typed a minute during Wed¬nesday's test. As the typists glance from the work, the glittering star-like faces placed in front of the room shine against the yellow background, and the varied colors strikingly contrast each student's work. Immediately a desire fills the individual to ac¬quire, too, the highest degree of per¬fection within his ability. As a re¬sult better work is obtained from all of the persons in the classes. As long as this chart is in sight, eyery one will continue to produce his best efforts. This way of arous¬ing zeal is incomparable to any other device used in any other class for the same purpose. May it con-tinue.—Emily Merrill. BOOK REVIEWS Students have been enjoying, some struggling, to read books which appealed to their sense of humor or to their love of excite¬ment and adventure. Then they gave reviews, including parts of the life of the author, of the narrative in which they delved to live with the characters. Such a delightful occupation of reading commendable books is intensely interesting and pleasing to all. Then, repeating the ideas in front of an audience tests one's fluency of speech, ease of movements, and knowledge of grammar. Giving book reviews is a chance to display one's interpretive ability resulting from the range of person-al experiences of the meaning of the story. As each year progresses our knowledge of life broadens from encounters with every-day inci¬dences; as a result we have more wisdom in percepting the purpose of a story. Thus, this year's book report should be better than the one given last year. Next year should show as much improvement. Each individual should be glad of the opportunity to make book reviews to realize for themselves how much progression of speech, movement, and knowledge the com¬ing year always brings. SENIORS AWAY The halls of Ogden High school have been devoid of senior todents today as Mr. Peterson, presi¬dent of the U. S. A. C. in Logan, I invited the seniors of Ogden High to be guests at the institution fori the purpose of giving them an idea of college life. From ten until eleven o'clock theII students were to be shown the buildings and campus; from eleven E until twelve-fifteen there was to be a president's assembly. The viaitors then were to have lunch and at one o'clock go to a general student assembly. After their assembly there was to be a battalion parada I and then at seven-thirty they ire to be guests at the regular college 1 dance.—J. B. BIGGER AND BETTER Mr. Mark Robinson, music super¬visor of the Ogden City schools, hu just recently returned from Chicago, where he attended a national convention of music supervison. While in Chicago Mr. Robinson had occasion to hear a great many high school groups perform. As he told the music classes, Mr. Robinson said that it is nothing unusual to have enrolled in one boys' chores 900 singers. One girls' group in one of the high schools of Chicaeo ha» enrolled 1000. He said that the smallest boys' group in Chicago contained 100. Mr. Robinson also said that they had more than just large number interested in music. The singlnf there is far superior to ours. In fact, Mr. Robinson said that wt la Utah have not really begun to take up music as it should be taken op. So you see, we have a huge wort to take up before we may call oarselves music minded! Let's mate i the slogan of the convention oar slogan; "Music for every child, and every child for music! Music for the masses and not for the classes!" —A Music Student.
