Show TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1933. THE OGDEN STANDARD - EXAMINER Club Donates To School Set Of Books Explaning Possible Careers In Life Volumes From Kiwanians Probably Will Prove Very Helpful Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors The Ogden Kiwanis club is in- a crested in the subject of vocational 0 guidance. In that interest the club s las ordered a complete set of v 'Careers," a vocational library con- " ;isting of monographs on 52 distinct y vocations-their nature, attractive i1 sides, unattractive sides, ultimate , opportunities, personal qualifications necessary, kind of preparation J; needed, source of income, fees, com- missions, salaries, average earnings, 0 maximum earnings for those of un- usual ability, a word picture of a!; typical day's work, how to get started in the career, etc. c The library is prepared by the 5 Institute of Research of Chicago and has the indorsement of all the leading educators of America from 3 Dr. John Dewey down to the humble teachers of vocational guidance in American schools. The books are said to be the best t that have yet been prepared in this interesting field. This s.et of books is being pre- i seated to the Ogden High school with the compliments and good, wishes oi the Ogden Kiwanis club. It is needless to say that we accept and deeply appreciate this splendid gift. We hope it will aid many of us in deciding life's most momentous question-"What shall I do in life? ; SCHOLASTIC EXAM Wednesday at three-thirty in Mr. Robins' room, the current events examination will be given to all those who have entered the scholastic contest. About 30 of our students have entered and have been studying the current events con- scientously in the hope of winning a free trip to Chicago's world fair, which is the first prize in each region. We extend our best wishes to all of the contestants and sincerely hope to see one of them receive the award. CAMPAIGN SPEECH Well, here is something to really campaign about. For president I think all good people should vote for Grant Jensen ( I hope that is the way that you spell the name.) Most people call him "Smoky," but I can't see any reason for that because I don't think he goes "snipe h imttrw." Maybe he-signed an ad for Cremo, or sumpin'. At any rate, vote for Smoky, girls, because some day he may drift up to see you, you know how smoke does. And now for the bestest girl in the school. Put your vote in for Adele Larson because she has quality, taste, modesty (ask B. T.), scholarship, and many other things the new juniors will like about the alma matter of alma mater. But here is the best part of the program, the i secretaryship, or the close run be- tween two good boys. My close guess will be that Jack Bennett and Cliff Thome will be the runners and I hope Bennett can cure Thorne scratches or was that a pun?- Emerson Huff. THE OPERA Next Friday and Saturday nights are the time for the next big school activity-our opera, "The Yeoman of the Guard." Last year, as the seniors will regretfully remember, we had no opera. But this year will make up for last. If you have heard the boys' chorus sing, you have listened to the best male chorus we have had in years. Their work in the yeoman choruses is excellent; the principal characters are sure to tickle your "funny bone"; and the opera will thrillyou. Mr. Hanson says the orchestra is also the best in years. All in all it is a very fine bit of work. Just for twenty-five cents or your student-body ticket you can see not an operetta but a real opera. At the Washington Junior High next week, I'll be seeing you. VICE PRESIDENT With the coming of spring and the approaching time of graduation has come the realization that another very happy and successful school year is about close. Along with these also comes the necessity of selecting officers to preside over the student body activities for next ; year. I Ogden High is a grand old school, a place where high traditions and _ lofty ideals are manifest on every . 1 hand, in our principal, our teachers, our students, and finally in all activities in Which we engage. . These traditions are time-honored, i and it is up to the student body as I a whole and especially to the class that will be the senior group of next year to uphold these customs i and traditions. As you all know, the nominating I convention has met and has chosen ', five splendid candidates for each l office. With due respect for those running for the other positions, I 1 will now turn my attention to the 7 office of, vice president. 3 there is one girl who has had the honor of being selected as a nominee who is an outstanding member of i the O. H. S. student body. As a stu- y dent her Record will compare favor- I ably' with that of any other person r in school. But, in addition to this e she has served diligently as asso- it ciate editor of the Quarterly Classicum and is a member of prominent girls' club. e As far as personality is concerned, d to be acquainted with Beverly Brown is at once an honor and a pleasure, e She is loved and respected by all u with whom she comes in contact; the very personification of an ex- e cellent student and as ideal girl, e Thus, friends, from any standpoint 7, of qualification it is obvious that Beverly Brown is the best selection e for vice president of the student a body. s e The saying that "valuable things come in small packages" is true in the case of Virgie Minnoch. Thii little lady would be ideal for vice president of the student body. She is very capable and would occupy that position with all the dignity required for such an honor. Therefore I suggest that we vote for Virgie Minnoch for vice president. CANDIDATES ASSEMBLY j There was a special assembly held Monday morning for the purpose of intorducing the candidates for student body officers. Ten handsome boys and five pretty girls were called to the stand. For president, Leonard Higgins, Grant Jensen, Maurice Kennedy, John Kinard, and George Larkin; for vice president, Beverly Brown, Adele Larson, Virgie Minnoch, Barbara Reeves, and Charlene Woods; for secretary, Gus Becker, Jack Bennett, Clyde Greenwell, Evan Stewart, and Clifford Thorne. The election of student body officers will be held Wednesday in second period classes, and don't for- Jget Maurice, Barbara, and Jack for president, vice president, and secre- i tary. INTERESTING LECTURE On Thursday, April 20, at one p. ; m. Dr. E. C. Watson of the Cali- , fornia Institute of Technology, in Pasadena, will give a lecture and demonstrations on liquid air at the Ogden High school. The lecture will be free and shall be happy to Wellcome any interested patrons who may wish to hear this lecture. Dr. Watson, while here, will also be interested in meeting students who may wish informataion about opportunities to take up work in scientific and engineering fields. WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1933 Speaker Tells Teachers Youth Must Be Taught New Viewpoint On Life Advice To Gain Wealth And Prominence Not Fitted To Times O gden High School Notes Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors The Rev. Harry T. Morris addressed the high school faculty Monday on the subject "Director of Dreams." He extolled the value and purpose of education in directing the ideals and dreams of youth. "Too frequently in the past," said he, "we have told graduates there were two ; great objectives in life, (1) to acquire wealth, and (2) to attain positions of prominence." He characterized these objectives as unworthy or at least unfitted to the present day. "Youth goes out in the world today without prospect of job and little likelihood of obtaining promin- , ence in society. The present day , demands that youth be taught that life is beautiful, glorious of itself, and that real living means much more than self aggrandizement or prominence. We must get a new viewpoint on what life has to offer to each of us, and help all to self realization. The talk was very much appreciated by the teachers. ZETA PHI XI Last Friday did you see a verj excited and nervous girl in Mr. Ed Smith's chemistry room, first period? Well, when a Zeta membei came to the room you'd think this girl was going to have heart failure. She was taken out of class foi "a. minute." When she returned there was a smile stretched from eai to ear on her face and on her necl there was something dangling. I pledge! This lucky girl is Beverly Hall. Zeta members have certainly made a very choice pick; Congratulations, Beverly! THE DAILY CARTON Well, folks, your' old standby ii back and is ready to broadcast thf news of the day today, and everydaj (for a while). I will probably have to take a spring vacation on my owr. hook, though, as my nose for news has a dreadful cold and can't smelJ a thing of interest. With Easter over, the next thing to look forward to is the school opera, "Yeoman of the Guard," to be given next Friday and Saturday in the Washington Junior High auditorium. Now that prosperity has come around the everlasting corner, all students of Ogden High school should be able to rake 25 or 40 cents and show Mr. Hansen that we appreciate his efforts. I'll bet my Indian head penny that every cadet at school knows who originated the "old good-bye." Don't let me down, Sarge. FINE WORK Let us say a good word here for our fine mimeographing department. The boys working here have turned out many a good job for the school during the year and their work is appreciated through our words of praise have been scant. Miss Evans has had charge of this department and three boys have done the good work: Mark Tillotsen, Merlin Wright and John Henderson. WE SYMPATHIZE We extend today our sincere sympathy to one of our schoolmates, Miss Rosemary Smith, who is called upon to mourn the untimely passing of her father. We are reminded again "Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O death, and thou art no respector of persons. Thou com- est like a thief in the night and carryeth away our most precious treasures. Thou always leaveth us sad and broken." REPORTS AGAIN Again teachers have enjoyed their little pastime of passing out A's, B's, C's, D's, and F's. We hope they enjoyed it. We didn't. Then again we were obliged to carry these marks home and ask our dear papas and mamas to sign them. In some cases they refused, besides giving us pieces of their minds which we didn't ask for nor want i But such is life. Tennyson saitf.'i "The old order changeth," but we H don't believe it. As we see it, they go on doing the same old things that teachers and parents have ever done. When will this conspiracy against youth end? Bob Rushmer and Jim DeVine 1 were seen about our halls again yes- J terday. They're off from their re-i spective schools for spring vacation' and just dropped in to see if the oJd) |
