Saturday Evening, December 10, 1932 Friends Gained By Club Membership Further Defense Made Of Organizations At High School OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. It Is said that the period in our p lives that we spend in high school S1 is the happiest of them all. Surely this is because of the social con- tacts and the friends which we J make. How do we make friends? Is s( there any better way than by as- ir sociating with them in a club? We t see the students whom we are con- ;idering for our friendship under S all sorts of conditions and this way n find out whether they are worthy w of it. I am speaking for any club and I t( think it may be truthfully said that j( no girl or boy is taken into a club on his or her father's millions. There might not be a strict scholastic standard which every club follows r( in selecting its members but then Y not all the best friends are good a students. I will, however, mention if one club, and there might be.oth- t: ers, which suspends its members if c they receive a "C" grade. It is the d club which was used as an example p in the article published in the notes v last Tuesday, Carpe Diem. p It can be easily seen that the stu- e dent who wrote that article does v not belong to a club. She, (or is it t a he?) does not know what activi­ties are carried on by the clubs. Did not I-Wanna-O and S.O.S. sponsor the last football rally? Is there not a a girls' club athletic tournament carried on? What would the Classicalia be without booths which are sponsored by clubs? I can not see any reason for abolishing clubs as long as they do not interfere with the school aca­demic work. c SNAPPY COMEBACK In answering the protest against t clubs made by a student, A.D.M., f wishes to give its viewpoint. Clubs in high school help to keep f the institution going. Who helps - to add zest and life to our dances? . Who are back of all student activi- c ties and help to make them a sue- cess? Who aid in selling student 1 body tickets and other kinds of c tickets? Who help to make high ( enjoyable? Why, the clubs do! If c there were no clubs, athletics would be abandoned by the girls. Not so much enthusiasm would be shown at our games; our assemblies would not have the originality that the clubs give them. 1 As for democracy, the clubs bring ( more students to the front than ! there would be otherwise. The lack 1 of clubs would only bring a few stu- J dents to the front. As it is now, 1 many more students have the priv- j ilege of showing how well they can 1 work with a group, and what abili­ties they have. In a club everyone's merits come out some time, and more students are given a chance. If there were no clubs, high school talent would be in the dark. If the person who wrote such a . protest knew a little bit more about . what she was talking about, I am ! sure she would change her mind . about clubs. i -Helen Murphy. MORE ABOUT CLUBS ; The article about the clubs of Ogden high in the notes a few nights ago struck a responding chord in my heart. I heartily agree with everything that was written. Per­haps I feel as I do because I know of a specific example. When the bids for clubs were be­ing received by various students, I know of one "A" student who had a secret longing to belong to one of the coveted organizations. She re­ceived one or two invitations to meetings, but as she was of a rather self-conscious nature, her social standing was not up to par. There­fore, she was rejected. Her ability is the senior class president signing off. BASKETBALL CALL You should have seen the response to the first call for basketball play­ers. Forty of them, mostly juniors, and all ready to go for another big season of basketball. These play­ers have all been working hard to produce another championship team such as we had last year. Wednesday night the team en­gaged in a practice tilt with the "M" men's team from the Marriott ward. Marriott took the game by a score of 35 to 31 after a real battle in which some twenty Tiger players took part. Coach Kapple substi- tued frequently in order to give as many boys as possible a chance to show their stuff. Only two letter- men from last year are back and it will take a lot of work and the un­failing support of the student body to produce another championship team, which, of course, is our ob-. ject this year. EXHIBIT OF ART For those of you that have not al­ready seen the exhibit in the art room of R. W. Worceske's etchings and dry points, a pleasant half hour is waiting. A knowledge of the fact that etchings, contrary to the usual conception, are not pen and ink drawings but prints from a copper plate helps one to appreciate this work. Mr. Worceske is concerned principally with winter scenes. From every viewpoint these etchings are worth seeing so drop in and enjoy them.-Ann Pingree. GET YOUR PICTURE Now is the time to see yourselves as others see you! Have your pictures taken and have your cuts in for the yearbook now! See notice on bulletin board con­cerning studios and prices. SOMEONE SAID Everyone needs a holiday from one year's end to another. Physicians of most men are hap­py; whatever good success they have the world proclaims; and what faults they commit, the earth covers. Don't blame it on to your forget­ful mind in tests, for no one can and scholastic standing were not considered. As a result, she became rather bitter and was disinterested in school life and activities. I am convinced that there are a number of very good students who have re­ceived the same treatment. I do not intend this to be a re­flection on the character of the girls in these clubs. They have prob­ably not intended to hurt any feel­ings, but that can not possibly be avoided because the requirements that are now prevalent are of such a nature that scholastic rating has no chance to win. If brains instead of beauty was required, there would be some foundation to work on in order to become eligible for mem­bership.-B.L.T. Dear Old Santa: Here is one thing that each Of us would like. We are three little girls just filled with delight. Remie Sasaki is too big to suck her thumb. So please send me a package of chewing gum. Toshie Yano, for goodness sake. Send me a rattle that I can shake. Kiku Tamaki, well I declare. I'd like a new ribbon to wear in my hair. -Anybody. SENIORS BUSY Station H-O-L-L-Y H-O-P broad- ' casting from the Berthana ballroom. . The seniors are down here working hard decorating the hall for the big Christmas dance. They are now set- ting a beautiful Christmas tree lad- en with gifts in the middle of the r floor, while others are planning the i arrival of Santa Claus. Oh! it's , going to be a big event in the his- . tory of Ogden High school, so boys I get your dates for December 23, . learn the shuffle from B.T., and - have the best time of your life. This Sunday Morning, December 11, 1932 Ogden, Weber Hoop Mentors Schedule Practice Games TIGERS BATTLE BINGHAM QUINT IN FIRST TILT Warriors Play Lincoln And Evanston High Schools This Week-End By ED WELLS Coach Dick Kapple has definitely scheduled three practice games for his Ogden High school basketball squad. The Tigers will play the Bingham quint on the Miner's floor December 17 as the first big time team tackled by the local hoopsters this season. Davis High school, who has lost two to the Weber Warriars, will send their team against Coach Kapple's men December 21st, in an afternoon game. Murray High school the next opponent of the Ogden team, will be met on the Murray floor December 30. Tentative arrangements are in the making for a two game series with ;the South High school quint early ! in January. STILL EXPERIMENTS Coach Kapple is still experiment­ing with his men, and early in the week will cut his present squad of 35 players. In practice scrimmages against hoopsters from Central and Lewis Junior high schools, Dick has gained a fair idea ot the compara­tive merits of candidates for the Ogden team. However, he still wants to see the fellows in big time competition before he can make any definite selections. Bud Ellis is rapidly coming back to last year's form, and will be hard to cheat out of a position on the first string. Lee Boerens is a little slow in coming around, and will have to fight hard to hold a starting place.
