MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1932 New Attitude Shown Toward Cadet Corps Military Training Found To Be Excellent Developer OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Woods, Associate Editors. At boys' assembly on Friday, Principal Merrill told of a marked change in attitude of the boys to­ward R.O.T.C. work. He said that ten years ago no athlete could be induced to join the R.O.T.C. unit. They thought it was beneath the dignity of an athlete to walk straight, with chest out and shoul­ders back, to keep in step and in line, to wear a neat uniform and appear natty, and to be courteous and polite. But now things have so changed that the principal was asked by an ambitious boy if one really had to be a good athlete to be considered for a commission in the R.O.T.C. Boys have actually discovered that the R.O.T.C. as well as athletics, offers opportunity to develop cour­age, strength, sportsmanship, leader­ship-all things that go to make up a worthwhile character. G UILD REPRESENTATIVE Mr. Bogen, of Detroit, special representative of the Fisher Body Craftsmen's guild, met with all our boys on Friday morning and ex­plained the work of the guild in en­couraging craftsmanship among American boys. Mr. Bogen had with him a small coach, an exact replica of the coach of Napoleon Bonaparte. This minia­ture was made by a Boise boy and won a $100 prize as well as a trip to Detroit. The guild encourages every boy to enter this work, and offers some very substantial prizes to those who surpass in excellence of workman­ship. STUDENTS HONORED We congratulate two of our for­mer students, Miss Eleanor wedell and Bill Stratford, on their election to a national scholastic fraternity, Phi Kappi Phi. Miss Wedell is but 19 years old and probably one of the youngest members ever elected! to the society, as the selection is always made from graduating sen­iors in college. ASSEMBLY Friday's assembly was called to order by President Anderson. The first number on the program was a reading by Glenna Pledger. This was followed by a series of delight­ful piano selections by an outstand­ing alumnus, Wade Stevens. The feature of the program was Willis Smith's lecture on "Romance ; in Science." Mr. Smith first anal- ; yzed our local geology very briefly; and then went into the fascinating, scientific topic of trees. Mr. Smith sketched the history of a giant pine tree in Arizona. We were sorry that Mr. Smith was unable to finish his talk and hope to hear from him again. our life work Oh little star that shines so bright Upon this clear and cloudless night. Thy blinking light just seems to say "Be comforted, there comes another day." Perhaps this morn you started wrong And things grew worse as the day wore on, Until at eve you stand alone And think of things you should have done, But failed to do.. And as I stand and gaze aloft, A feeling, tender and oh, so soft Creeps o'er me, and I realize That when a day is gone, it dies. And is ne'er reborn. And so in life, where we wander on, Sometimes in darkness, sometimes in dawn, We should value each precious mo­ment rare And make all days both bright and fair With our life work. -Texa Bollig. DECEMBER 1, 1932. Season Ends With Pleasant Memories Ideals Are Kept Lofty By Representatives of Ogden High OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. Coach Simkins asked Wednesday to have all the football suits turned in, and with them went many pleas- ant memories of a most successful ( season on the gridiron. We really ( have had this season the best foot­ball team in years. The players worked hard, won games and did their best to keep the ideals of : sportsmanship uppermost at all times. We first won the annual practice game with Davis High. Then we i trounced our traditional rivals from Brigham City for the first time in ,' eight years. We also won league games from South Cache and Bear River and an intersectional battle 1 with the powerful Jordan squad on Thanksgiving day. We took Weber into camp, to keep the "Little Brown Jug" at home. The team lost only one game, this being by a very close score, to Logan High school, which won the divisional title and will compete for state honors. Besides this, we placed four men on the all-division team. And then, as a fitting climax to the season, Captain Dan Milligan was chosen on the all-Utah scholastic eleven. Milligan certainly deserves this hon­or, for he has been one of the bul­warks on the Tiger line for the past two years. He plays at guard for Ogden but in the opponent's back- field for quick, decisive tackles. Quarterback Ellis and "Roscoe" An­derson, end, also copped positions on the second and third all-state teams, respectively. !e. Wangsgard added, sponsored this year's banquet to the boys at Dick's cafe. A decision was also reached that the tradition will be maintained and that such men teachers as are in­terested shall hereafter sponsor the annual banquet to the football team. Thus is maintained an old tradition, lest the violation of one good custom corrupt the world. wonders of yellowstone On Monday the zoology and geol­ogy classes were pleasantly sur­prised. Instead of having our usual lessons, we were entertained. Yes, entertained by George Crowe, junior park naturalist, Yellowstone national park, who showed us slides and ex­plained to us many of the most in­teresting features of our national parks. Slides of Yosemite were first shown. This park is noted for its waterfalls, trees and scenic beauty. Next a picture of Crater lake was flashed, and the formation of this lake explained. Mt. Rainier came next. This peak is famous for its enhancing and majestic appearance and for its great height. Glacier national park with its glaciers was now seen. The wonders of Yellow­stone park now remained to be shown and explained. First we saw the hot springs and geysers and learned of their formation. Many of the high spots of the park were shown and described in detail to us. Slides showing how the country had gradually been built up were next shown, as such evidence can be found in that park. Our attention was then called to slides of the ani­mals inhabiting the park. Before, any more could be shown to us the! bell (for once unwanted and un- awaited) rang. This brought us back to our normal surroundings, as we had almost forgotten we were in a classroom. We wish to sincerely and heartily thank Mr. Crowe. gift desired We were down and asked Santa Claus for a new high school. "Mr. Merrill, Mr. Hopkins, and the board We might have done better. We might have taken the state cham­pionship. But we have no room to kick. It has been one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. congress A very interesting and important1 meeting was held by the Senators last Monday night. The program consisted of the first Congress-For­um preliminary debate and a critical decision given by the judge, Miss Osmund. Miss Osmund said the two teams, Don Bankes and Boyd Hopkins representing Forum as af­firmative and Clara Johnson and Ellen Glines, Congress, negative, showed possibilities of being great debaters. We wish to thank Forum for the fine attitude and regard they have given Congress even though they did get the decision; it puts ambition and determination into us. A short meeting was held after the debate. Here's something that means a great deal to us all: Wej are very glad to have Miss Osmund; as a co-adviser with Mrs. Chambers, whom we all love. Here's to more and better debates! Ellen Glines. TRADITION ESTABLISHED For many years, Ogden High, like all other high schools, has had an­nually a banquet for the football boys. For several years this was sponsored by the board of education. Three years ago, however, the board of education withdrew sponsorship. Since that time the question has arisen annually whether there must needs be a doing away with the custom. Last year the principal, the coaches, and Messrs. David Wangsgard. and David Peterson sponsored the banquet. Last night the same group, with of education were in yesterday with the same request," he replied. We wonder: This "Puddle" could­n't possibly be the same one Walter Raleigh laid his coat over, could it? Can you imagine anyone so com­pletely depraved as to ask: "Teach me to 'shuffle,' please." Please-that's what a lot of peo­ple have been crooning at the teachers, what with report cards coming out and everything. One thing leads to another, does­n't it? Speaking of crooning, a lot of people are calling Marvin Bing­ham the "croon prince." I don't think it's very good, though. We finally got the goods on Bernice Lindquist. A big, handsome, football player, he is. Sigma Chi, and-so on. Darn clever, these Zeta gals. . And that reminds us. We apolo­gize to Zeta. Adele Larson was tell­ing us, "Zeta's a club that stands for something." And could you be­lieve it, we were so unkind as to re­mark, "Yeh, I can see it has stood for a-plenty." We apologize. I We said to Margaret Stone: "Grandma, what pretty fingernails you have!" "The better to defend myself, my dear," she said. (Not bad either, considering the source.) They speak of high C. All C's are low C's to us. And that reminds us of our reg­ular report card "crack": "I'll flip ya, Dave. 'A' or nothing." "That was a swellegant pageant we had last week. Did you notice that gal in the black dress with the white trimmings-she's my idea of Priscilla. Who's got the biggest, broadest and best smile in the school? Alto­gether nowr MISS STEPHENSON! j Commercial Note: We write swell excuses. Absolutely guaranteed. See locker 414 for terms. (Pd. adv.)
