Show 16 Friday September 30, 1932 Three Pupils Trying For Editor Position School Notes Director Will Be Selected By Student Council OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Barbara Kimball, Editor For the sake of the interested reiders of these notes, we hope that every student is making a comparl- on between the three editors who have thus far been on probation. you have been observant, you will have noticed that each editor (las published the notes for a week. There has been a wide diversity in the material printed by each individual editor. The choiec of editor-in-chief is highly important, for the O. H. S. Notes is one of the premier sources from which the people of Ogden receive their ideas of our activities. Next Tuesday, Council will vote and elect one of these trial editors to be editor-in-chief. If you like Bobbie Kimball or Marjorie Wood or Park Petterson the best, inform your Council member of your choice.-Don Banks. COUNCIL REPORT ' Regular Council meeting was ealled to order by President Anderson. 'The roll was called, the mingles were read and approved. Three more clubs were reported through the committee chairman, Miss Dorothy Paine, to make them official clubs for the year. They arc: Phi Lambda Tau, SOS, and Zeta Phi Zl. The report was ac- oepted. It was moved and seconded that Phi Lambda Tau have permission to hold one night meeting each month; time, seven-fifteen. Permission had been granted by Mr. Merrill Miss Marian Cheesman, reporting for the social committee, announced the "get acquainted dance," Friday, September 30. By a motion the report was accepted. The annual report of the finances was given by the president, who gave in detail the activities which absorb this money. He again urged the members to stimulate the buying of more student body cards. The report was accepted by a motion. The pep committee reported through the president that the following people are backing all means of supplying pep for the games: Mr. Wardleigh of the fire department, Mr. Wilfong of the police department, Mr. Kimball representing the Rotary club, Mr. Eastman representing the Lions club, Mr. Wilson representing the Kiwanis club, Mr. Glasmann of the Paramount theatre. Mr. Hopkins gave us the right to stage parades. The secretary read article four of the constitution.

It was moved and seconded that the president appoint three members to act on the tennis court committee. He appointed Grant Goddard, Gus Becker and Beverly Brown. Council then adjourned.-Wendell Fowler, secretary. "SILENCE IS GOLDEN" The other day (Tuesday to be correct) I walked along the hall, near the gym. Lo and behold! Everything was very quiet. Now usually during the sixth period everything isn't quiet in the gym. So my curiosity overwhelmed me and I ventured in to take one little peek. Oh, my! What a comical sight met my eyes. Over fifty girls sat there -apparently under a spell, for each and every one of them was perfectly quiet. It's said that "Silence Is Golden," but in this case it was a miracle. I recognized a few familiar faces among the group. Gayle Hurd was slumped over in her chair and seemed in rather a passive mood. Kay Hitt looked thoroughly disgusted. Helen Bar- ; ker was quite intent upon some- , thing. I wondered why Janet Wright had an air of superiority about her. But then I noticed Miss Brewer, sitting in front of them, with a broad smile on her face and gazing at her wrist watch. I seriously doubted whether everything , was quite all right. But I didn't ' have long to wonder. Miss Brewer broke the charm by announcing ' that time was up. Then what a discussion followed. I gathered from ' it that the girls were finding out how many breaths they took a min- ute. They may have taken the reg- ' ular rate-I couldn't say. But I'm sure I held my breath all the time, ' for you see they kept me guessing. -Merely Me. ? ? ? ? ? Already the blackboards are being; ! graced by the ugly forms of tests : thought up for the sole purpose of catching unsuspecting sturents reading in the wrong part of the texts. In the latest list of impossible questions we find that those receiving most smears, head shakes, and blank spaces are: What color is blue vitriol? What nationality are the Siamese twins? What color was Washington's gray horse? and, Who was the leader of the Smith colony? ' With tears of regret I say that ' the answers to these questions will 1 not appear later as Mr. Merrill for- ' bids answers to tests being told, written or nodded about.-Jack Bennett. YEARBOOK PRICE Dear Aunt Jane: Will we be able to order year- ' books at the end of the year with- ' out buying a student body ticket? MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1932. School Clubs Discuss New Pledging Rule Campaigns For Membership Taken Up at Meeting of Presidents OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Barbara Kimball, Editor At a recent meeting of club presidents a new rule for pledging was proposed. In brief the contents of the rule are: No pledging is to be done until the seventh week of the 1 school year. No form of rustling is "allowed. VVtierrtt-izh-time for-pjtedg- ing the clubs will give out bids to the girls or boys they want. The persons receiving bids have until Monday at four o'clock of the eighth week to decide which club they wish to join. Those who receive bids are not to talk to anyone but their parents or club advisers about the bids they have. Clubs reserve the right to withdraw their bids if it is found that a candidate is talking. THE EDITOR. ENTERTAINMENT During our last assembly there was certainly an enticing bill to a dance skit given by S. O. S. and we hope that the dance is well attended because of it. Then a favorite old performer, the boys' glee club gave us an enjoyable time with "My Little Banjo." The next number of interest was a speech on friendship by Grant Goddard followed by a talk on school friends by Marjorie Wood. Some more music was given us in a cornet solo by Eugene Hawks. And then, "Waffles," a most delightful reading given by a tried and proven standby, Miss Ellen Halgren, a former student in O. H. S. All in all I believe the assembly .was enjoyed by everyone. Here's to and better ones. Phi Lambda Tau and their part one about constitutions. Oh, are you a football player, too? The Carpe girls in a huddle around the fountain. Students, your attention, please. George Washington staring at me in all my class rooms. S. O. S. and the "Four Sos (sauce) brothers. ANSWER TO "WANTED" Oh, lady! Aren't you just too quaint for words! But, honey, I'm not such a handsome Romeo and uh-my dancing isn't so excellent. And not only that but- Wanted, one car. But please tell ma that I-I can have the date, anyway, won't you? JUST ME. SOMEONE SAID- If we want a thing we work for it. If we think we want a thing we pray for it. Killing time is not murder-it's suicide. The man who is injured by praise is as easy to find as one who is improved by criticism. JANET FIFE. SAILING One ship sails east, another west By the selfsame winds that blow. 'Tis the set of the sails And not the gales That decides which way they go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate, As we voyage along through life. 'Tis the, will of the soul That decides the goal, And not the calm or the strife. EDIPHONE. O. H. S. CREED In the office hangs a statement written by Frederick Winsor which Mr. Merrill says may be regarded as the O. H. S. creed. We advise all students to become familiar with this creed which is presented herewith: "Education is a hard task-master and grants its best rewards only to those who earn them by the sweat of their brow. I believe in discipline. Without discipline education becomes a flabby, effeminate, anaemic caricature of itself. The nation that boys of secondary school! age should be allowed to decide for' themselves what they should study or what should constitute a day's work for them, sickens me. They are without wisdom, and without experience, and they need not only guidance but driving. Like a recruit for the army, the first thing that a new boy entering a secondary school needs is discipline. It should be friendly and sympathetic, of course, but it should be firm. For the first few years it must be imposed from without, but gradually the course of discipline should change, until finally, in the last year of school, it is imposed from within and becomes self-discipline." STELLAE On May 27, 1932, eight small dejected pledges spent many hours of torture, but in the end they were made members. Officers were chosen. They are, president, Wright Volker; vice president, Virginia Soderburg; secretary and treasurer, Jack Watson, and reporter, Deirdre Dobbs. Stellae is still alive, though it will go through some change before the end of the first six weeks. We wish to give the juniors a hearty welcome and say to the seniors, "We are glad you're back." D.
