Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, 1 Associate Editors. I In driving along a highway, one ( Hoftn gets behind a motorist who ' I i lls going at n speed of ten or fifteen , I ImiJfs per hour. The road is narrow Hind jo many cars are coming to- : ward you that you cannot possibly So you must poke along, , mm valuable time and likely lose ; I Jjrour temper. . j Something of the same sort hap- Bpens daily at school. I am going J I j from the west side of the building,;. Hi bottom floor, to the east side, top floor. I could very easily make the distance in the time allowed, but much to my chargin I find myself behind a couple, walking down the hall so slowly that I feel I like offering them some assistance. Every time I try to pass them I I see that I am face to face with I someone going in the opposite I direction. In order to avoid a I head-on collision I drop again be- ' I hind the slow moving couple. When i the bell rings, I am half of the : way to my class. The couple, 1 Ij having only half so far as I to go, j I reach their room just before the j I door closes. Much to my dismay I I find my class room door locked I when I try to enter. And I rush 1 f about to obtain an admit to class. t After I finally gain admittance, the I lesson is half over, and I have just ft a hazy idea of what it is all about. U The next day I fail an exam. Is it j I any wonder? j It seems as though we really need speed cops and speed regulations. I , But I believe this would not be necessary if everyone would co- operate and think just a little of. 11 the other person. If everyone would I' hurry-but not rush-from room to I I room there would not be so many students locked out. Beverly Hall. , R. O. T. C. NEWS The cold mornings of last week were generally welcomed by the f boy students. Instead of drilling : we were allowed to sit in the warm I gym and listen to Major Dyer. A number of interesting and useful things were learned. We were I given an extra incentive to keep our I records clear when we were told I that they might possibly be of fi- I nancial value in a senior unit of I the R. O. T. C. Among the many things we were I informed of was an account of the I system for rating officers of the I United States army. Those holding commissions found I they are not the holders of hollow I honors; commissions will be of ! value to those who continue military work. In the near future we are to take up somewhat different work - scouting and first aid. Gordon Hudson. AN OPEN LETTER An Open Letter To Mr. Frank Oberhansley: Due to a remark made by Mr. Oberhansley to the effect that he could throw the entire football team in thirty seconds per person, we, the undersigned, challenge this statement and allow an extra hour for him to accomplish this minor (?) feat.

WE'LL HAVE WEATHER Well, it seems as If everyone uses the "Notes" to blow steam off through and as I want to be different I will tell not about heat but about the absence of heat. It's so cold around here that even the barks can't liquidate. came to school the other day and although his ears were almost frozen you could tell he was still a man of "Stone." Maybe the radiator romances will see a marked increase in business now since no one dares to venture away from some source of heat. I wonder, do you think that we could tease Admiral Byrd into charting a route from our homes to school? You know he obligingly mapped both the North and South Poles for our government. Jack Bennett. THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1932 Juniors Summoned To Aid With Dance Full Backing Needed To J Make Success Of i Holly Hop t OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES ( Parke Petterson, Editor. 1 Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. Attention, juniors! Since the be- t ginning of school we have been very active and to the fore in vari- : ous activities and so far we have j had a fairly good year. However,! the crucial time is approaching because our "big brothers and sis- , ters" have gone into the business of v sponsoring the Holly Hop. Of course we "little brothers and sisters" should forgive and forget (which has probably been done long ago). By this time we should be j united into one brand body and should be getting along like, shall ( I say, neighbors? But as the seniors are sponsoring one of the largest i and greatest events on the social calendar of the school, we juniors should prove our spirit of co-operation and show everyone concerned the pep which has carried us through by obtaining a date with our feminine inspirations and spread the good tidings of Christmas. Come on, gang, let's climb aboard the band wagon and strike up a merry tune and proceed to help the seniors make a huge success of the annual Holly Hop. Student body tickets will not be honored, the admission price being fifty cents a couple or for one person. But after all, Santa will be there in person, spreading his cheer to everyo-.e, and we are assured of a wonderful time. Grant Jensen. AN EXPLANATION After reading my article in the notes the other night, I am wondering just exactly where I do stand. I shall endeavor to clear my position. I stand squarely back of the clubs: This is why: 1. In the first place, Us I attempted to show in my previous article, they help one arrive at a conclusion concerning the character of the individuals belonging. ! 2. In the second place, they add beauty to our bulletin boards with their pretty signs. Along this s'ame line, they brighten our halls (and they certainly need brightening) with pretty electric signs-at school expense. 3. They put on such good as semblies that the Decorum committee considers it a severe punishment to forbid a student to attend them. i They help pep up the school.! One club in particular at the pep rallies sits in a certain section and shows us how to yell. Once they sang. They are always doing something big like that. And lastly, if it is true that egotism and conceit are requisites of greatness, the clubs at O. H. S. have certainly done their share toward filling the world with genius. Yes, sir, the clubs are a great institution. I'm back of them.-B. T. FORUM Stop! Look! Read! In the past Forum has confined its practice debates to one or two other high schools. This year (which is full of changes) we have attempted to establish a precedent for the club to follow by writing to the following high schools for practice debates: Provo, West, East, Granite, Davis, Morgan and Box Elder. Although no answers have been received, we feel sure that most of these schools will meet us. We feel that meeting other schools in friendly debate will establish closer relations between! these schools and Ogden High. At the same time it will be carrying out the purpose for which the Forum stands. We would also like to inform the readers that the club advisors re- , ceived a letter pertaining to the state debating question, which is: "Resolved: That the nations of the world should adopt a bimetalism standard of exchange." This question should be very interesting and educational to everyone living in 1 Utah. Secretary. HOLLY HOP Fellows, there are just exactly eight more days 'til the Holly Hop! Have you all sprung the question? If you are just a trifle bashful, call her on the telephone. She at least 5 can't see you're blushing. Stags, 1 break down and ask that beautiful 1 girl you've been wanting to go out with. And seriously, don't let your 1 leetle junior brothers beat your i time. Will you be there? O. K., ' Santa Claus! H. R. P. 1 TO "JUST ME" The members of Joie Francais wish to thank "Just Me", whoever he may be, for the lovely compli- , ment paid to the members on their uniforms. s We also say that if "Just Me" _ wishes to see the pictures-well, just ejask a French member; however, they are terrible (I mean they did- _ n't turn out good). F. L. s D. A. C. a Has anyone ever heard of D. A. C.? Well, here we are all set to go. 3 On December 3 we spent a very en- aijoyable evening of initiation at the home of Lucy McNiel. On Thursday, December 8, at our t j meeting Marjorie Wood and Elda Nichols entertained us with read- S ings. After all old business was taken care of Mark Childs was s elected parliamentarian; James Lazenby, chairman of membership 0 committee; Nondas Liddell, play- wright. We have started a very successful year and you can expect to hear e from us soon.
