Thursday Evening, January 26, 1933 Ideal Needed For Success In Life School Editor Says Lack of Strong Policy Leads To Failure OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood Associate Editors "More fail from lack of purpose Bithan from lack of opportunity." As we glance back through the V past we can find countless examples of both men and nations who failed in the face of a crisis. We read of many individuals who had sur- I mounted lesser difficulties but were not equal to the task when the big chance came. We can look about us and see hundreds of instances of men who were given a chance 1 and couldn't make good. What can we say was the cause for their failures? Opportunity was knocking but something else was lacking. Can we not say that in many cases, the lack of a well defined pol­icy, a lofty purpose in life, was in back of the failure? j As we go out into the world we will have many opportunities open before us. If we would make the most of them we must have an ideal, backed up by steadfast­ness, sincerity and eagerness to suc- ; ceed. Have a purpose for living, not an excuse. THE EDITOR. AMIGOS DEL MUNDO Last Sunday afternoon the mem­bers of A. D. M. held a skiing shin­dig on Sullivan's hill. They tum­bled and grumbled and got covered with snow but had a most wonder­ful time. Berneice Fowles, who thinks she's another Engen, went down the hill without falling. The rest of the members thought she was pretty good and tried to do the same. Some did, but some didn't. After we had made the hill pretty smooth from our falls, we went to the Creole Shack and ate something else be­sides snow. H. M. O. H. S. NUTS Since the high school play was such a success, and the Blue Pep­pers of Lewis junior supported it in a big way, I think it would be a jgood plan for the Lewis alumni to go to the play to be presented in February. At least, B. T. should go because that is where he got his start and that's where he ended. I have a funny feeling that "he who snoops to conquer" is the lad they call "Powerhouse Bower." Or maybe it is Bell de Heer. News! A bashful girl is in high school. One that actually blushes. Dash down in the lower hall and ask for a girl whose initials are H. H. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the country. Advertise the cadet hop. Talk it over, boys, iand be sure to have enough money to pay for check chips. Enough money can be gotten J from the $5 that was paid for your, suit. Even the lowliest buck pri-j vate can go this year. Will we show the girls that we can throw a dance? Yowzzah! Famous last words: Will you in­troduce me to H. H.? BURP. ANSWER MADE An answer to the members of the Bachelors' club: Members of the Bachelor's club, Ogden high school or to whom it may concern: Your notation of January 24 was duly received and contents noted. After strict examination of the evi­dence stated by both sides we beg to report that the majority of the Ogden high school fellows who stooped to the association of the Ogden high school girls in previous Ogden high school dances were duly dated and taken care of at the aforementioned Accolade given on January 20. So although the ver­dict may be bitter to the members of the Bachelors' club we find we ! cannot blame the girls. - THE JURY. break and take me to the cadet: hop. BOOKS "Books are our best friends." How often we have heard that statement but how seldom we have stopped to think of what it really signifies, speaking of travel, with books we can sail the seven seas in splendor, or we can go from Siam to Sydney without stirring fro mour chair. We can visit sailors on their ships, shep­herds with their sheep, or states­men using strategy to make their schemes succeed. Through books, we can make a thorough study of science, sculpture or speech, but above all other things we learn good, common sense. Think of the satisfaction they provide in the way of entertainment. Don't we all enjoy a spine-chilling mys­tery or a good, romantic novel? I am sure we all do. After taking all these things into consideration, don't you agree that books are our best friends? MARY PAQUETTE. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The school acknowledges with thinks the receipt of valuable avia­tion maps and charts from the navy department, Ogden station, also a book "The Romance and Drama of; the Rubber Industry" from Harvey Firestone, Jr. These gifts are ap-j predated. MR. FOWLE TO SPEAK Rev. W. H. Fowle will speak on the present economic situation at: our assembly Friday at eleven-ten o'clock. We respectfully invite our parents to be present on this occa­sion. I pause to weep for Burp. He didn't get a date for the Accolade,! and say, who told Burp that he could write, anyway? : You know ocean, sea, lake, pond, no, I mean Puddle. Well, he may' be compared with the "boy orator- of the Platte"; that is, a mile wide; at the mouth and an inch wide at' the source. And as for Axel Grease and all the others-hey! Who turned out the lights? Oh, well, snooze on. "MR. ZILCH." SNOOZE After much pondering I have de­cided to add to the ever growing long list of so-called authors by producing this masterpiece. From the start I want you to know that I'm no ordinary author because I'll say nothing about Sid Gordon. I have talent? Well, yes, and no. To begin with let's take the au-, thor who signs his articles "R." think he should sign them "W. M.' (woman's man). Also I'd like to know if "R" means Roy, Ross, Red, or Rat. Axe him. As author B. T'. could be worse, but he can write be-e-Uruti- ful "sarcasm." I often wonder how Jack Bennett has the courage and nerve to sign his name at the tail of his manu­scripts. Friday Evening, January 27, 1933 Room Sends Out Ghostly Sounds Imitations of Night Wind Accompany Field's Poem Recital OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood Associate Editors You should hear the strange and ghostly sounds which come from room 305. Really even if one were not already cold he would soon be shivering as Miss Woolley's whooo- ooo-oos send chills down your back. The fourth period class is learning "The Night Wind" by Eugene Field, and there are many wonderful imi­tations of the night wind which is so common around Ogden. Min­gled with the wailing of the wind is the clear call of the bugle taken from Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Bugle Call." These two poems were chosen to aid in the prolonging of a tone, and will be very useful in promoting better and clearer speech and developing a better voice. MARY PAQUETTE. MAKING LOSS GOOD What would you have thought if when Lindbergh went on his good­will trip to Mexico the Mexicans had stolen his airplane? There prob­ably would have been very severe political disturbance and certain­ly the good-will which was meant would have turned to bad-will. Well, the same thing happened at our school. A delegation of good­will bearers, a basketball team from Bear River high school came to Og­den high and after playing a game and suffering defeat, which was dis- appointing enough, went to the locker room and found that their clothes had been stolen. If our student body were to give ten cents a member, our teachers fifty cents each and our principal two and a half we could partially reimburse the unfortunate boys of Bear River for their losses and so" lessen their ire to a point where it will be safe for our basketball team to go there ancl come back with their dignity. Students, this move would do much to strengthen the school re­lationship and show our sportsman­ship. "Sportsmanship our suprem­acy" should not only be the motto of a club but of our whole high school Let's each of us dig up a dime and contribute to the cause. We want a good reputation even if some people do try to ruin it. Pay your dime and we'll always have friends at Bear River. JACK BENNETT. EXPLANATIONS To anyone concerned (including Burp: The name, S. M., reporter, is a good one, and is pronounced as "sum reporter." So why bring B. T. into this? For there couldn't pos­sibly be any resemblance. Notwithstanding, Alpha Sigma's swimmers do not make smoke-just steam. I think that was slightly exaggerated in their last report. Personally, Kurious Kay ought to know that little puddles make big Ponds. PUDDLE. HERE AND HERE Wuxtree! Wuxtree! Read about the grand battle of nit wits-he who stoops to conker and Burp. So busy thinking what to put in the news about the other that they go around the halls with a vacant stare in their eyes and don't sleep nights. Marshall Brough came on time for English today. The Bachelors' club may be a good thing, but what will Reed Berrett and Paul Bramwell do without their big moments? HAMMER HEAD. FAMOUS ALIBIS I I left my theme in the locker - Bill Thompson. My mother wouldn't let me stay up late enough to get my home work.-Rosemary Smith. I had to take the dog home - Harvard Watts. Questions for the editor: What do you do when there are six beau­tiful girls after you at the same time? Judging from my handwrit­ing, what kind of a girl should I pick for the cadet hop? Famous last words: Most of love's classes are taught at night school - He Who Snoops to Conquer. SOMEONE SAID j The traditional fool and his I (money are lucky ever to have got together in the first place. A coin was made round so that it could circulate. Any fool must now and then be right-by chance, f JANET FIFE. SCHOOL NOTES ; To begin with, school starts too early. I get up at seven each morn­ing (if I got up earlier it would be cold since the fire is not made till seven o'clock). By the time I am ready it is seven-forty-five, and when I step into the school it is after eight-thirty. I am late, have missed some of my lessons and how far do I get? I wonder. If I rode the street car, maybe I could be here, but as money is scarce I walk It gives me exercise, though. In junior high school classes do not begin until nine o'clock. I was seldom late-above twice a year. Now I am always late. I am not only thinking of myself, but of others, also. PHEBE BROODER. NOMINATION Others campaign for the right person, so why shouldn't I? But really, this business of electing as­sociate editors is serious. All coun­cil members wish to vote for the person who is dependable and who has ability. And who is more able or dependable than Mary Paquette? None. She is an excellent student, her lowest mark since September being B-plus, and very few of them. She has written in the notes so much that everyone knows she is more than capable of doing the re­quired work. She would be an as­sociate editor of whom the whole school would be proud. So, council members, if you want to elect the right person for the right position, raise your voices for Mary Paquette. JUST ME. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I took a girl to the get-acquainted dance, another to the football dance, and still another to the holly hop. After all this I didn't get invited to the Accolade. Do you think l should take a girl to the cadet hop' and if so should I get a date this! early? CRACK COMPANY. Dear Crack Company: I would advise you to take a dif- rent girl to the cadet hop. If you are a junior, your chances are good for next year. AUNT JANE. MORE PICTURES? After seeing some of the pictures handed in by students, we under­stand now the expression "break ; the camera." If B. T. begs you to let him show his picture-let him-it is pathetic. jThat double shuffle of his invades his expression and make it shuffle! all over the picture. Boy, oh boy! Oh, girl! But Dale Anderson is different (so Dorothy thinks) he has a perfect Clark Gable effect. By the way, he is an officer of R. O. T. C. and comes incomplete. Oh, well, he's a privileged character-! maybe. Burp has recuperated from his snowballing suspension and hopes to take a good picture. Mind now- hopes.
