DECORUM COMMITTEE Whoever said that "ignorance is bliss" never went to Ogden High I school, or he never would have g uttered such a phrase. I don't mean, t as you might have guessed, in f lessons, but about some of the regu- I lations maintained by our decorum committee. The decorum committee is as 1 famed as the radiator romances. But 1 despite this fame I don't believe 1 persons understand its job, and method of fulfilling it, or its pun- ishment. Decorum looks for all noise makers in the hall, people scuffling, assemly sluffers, students talking in assembly, anyone throw- , ing paper in the halls, and last, but , not least, gamblers. The violator suffers his noon hours to be taken away from him and is made to stay in a room every noon until the crime he committed has in the eyes of the decorum committee been paid for. My advice to you is "Decorum will get you if you don't watch out" and if you are caught you cannot say as I did (although it didn't help me out of my punishment) that you were unaware of such and such a rule because I am telling you to profit by my experience and abide by the rules of your Alma Mater. "When in Rome do as Rome does." -Jack Bennett. A NEW DEAL Principal Merrill announced to the school Wednesday that teachers should have a new deal from stu­dents; that we should no longer speak of them familiarly as Ed and Pete and Dave and Frank, etc., but because of their positions and age should always be spoken of as "Mr." We hadn't thought of it seriously, but by Jove, I believe he's right. Yes, we'll reform. PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR Already plans are being formu­lated for next year's work. We are advised that all high school stu­dents for '33-'34 will be required to select in the very near future the subjects and courses they wish to take next year; also that all stu­dents will be arranged in their re­spective classes before school opens, so' that at the opening of school there will be nothing to do except to get our books, go to classes, and get to work. aeartily agreed that if Burp would ?et to be king, he would not have iime to think up a lot of foolishness for the notes. Well, the 31st of March drew near. Our little hero was so excited to think that he would be the king. But alas! no one had voted that we should have a king; therefore, our little hero, Burp, was left out in the cold, without crown, queen, castle or votes.-Lottie. TO CLASSICALIA Here is my contribution to the Classicalia: What is the biggest event of all the years? Classicalia! Where is there joy, happiness, but never a tear? Classicalia! Where are the costumes both lovely and gay? Classicalia! Where does friendship and good feeling hold sway? Classicalia! Where is there a queen all gorgeous and lovely? Classicalia! Where are there gypsies sol brawny and husky? Classicalia! -Punka. NOTE NONSENSE Senior Class Motto: Follow the example of the thermometer-don't be impatient and you'll get there- the thermometer rises by degrees. Teacher: Johnny, repeat this after me: Moses was an austere man and made atonement for the sins of his people. Johnny: Moses was an oyster man and made ointment for the shins of jhis people. There was a girl, Hazel, by name. Who acquired much beauty and fame. She'll make a good queen, For she's bright and she's keen. So come on, and let's all vote the same. -Two little Girls in Blue. THE QUEEN Who's got lots of personality, sportsmanship and beauty ? I'm sure you have all guessed who we mean because everyone knows and likes her. You just can't help it. And can she sing! She would make the swellest queen that could be because she's just that type. Maybe we have said enough to let you know that we are boosting Helen Sessions for Queen. Yowzzah!-Min and Yoosh. A STORY Once upon a time there was a tiny little boy by the name of Burp. Now, Burp, wanted to be elected the king of the Classicalia. His mother THE OGDEN STANDARD EXAMINER Weber Wins; THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1933. Ogden Loses Warriors Defeat Summit; Tigers Bow To Cyprus State Champions Eliminated In Final Game of the First Day By Score of 34 to 13; Weber Has Hard Game, Winning 37 to 33. SALT LAKE CITY, March 16.- (AP)-With the defending champion Ogden High school five eliminated in the opening round, the annual Utah state high school basketball tournament went into the second round today, with eight teams sur­viving to battle for the champion­ship. Ogden, 1932 champion, fell before the powerful challenge of the Cyprus Pirates of Magna, the latter win­ning by a score of 34 to 13. The Cyprus entry overwhelmed the champions with an offensive display that saw the winners capitalize on nearly every scoring opportunity and a defense that held Ogden to one field goal and two free throws in the second half. The first half ended with Cyprus leading, 13 to 9. It was the final game on the first round schedule. In other encounters Logan wal­loped Gunnison, 43 to 18; Lehi swamped the highly rated Carbon five, 47 to 12; Weber High of Og­den defeated North Summit, 37 to 33; Granite of Salt Lake City downed Beaver, 29 to 25; Springville outdistanced Bicknell, 35 to 29; Jordan trounced Branon Agricul­tural College High school, 34 to 22, and Nephi won from East High of Salt Lake City, 20 to 18. CYPRUS FAVORED As a result of the first showing, Cyprus was favored to eliminate Lo­gan in the second round today, Lehi held an edge over Nephi, Granite was given the call in a tussle with Jordan, and Springville was slightly favored to eliminate Weber. The predictions were made with some reservations as it was conceded none of the favorites would advance with- j out stiff opposition. Turpin, speedy Cyprus forward, led the scorers among the 16 teams in the first round, tallying 18 points. He was followed by Senior, Springville forward, and B. Chidester, Bicknell center, with 17 each. Next came Otterbeck, Logan guard, with 15 points. SCHEDULE The schedule for the second round today follows: Upper bracket: (Championship flight) Springville vs. Weber at 3:30 p. m.; Granite vs. Jordan at 4:30. (Consolation flight) Beaver vs. B. A. C., 1:30; Bicknell vs. North Sum­mit, 6:30. Lower bracket: (Championship flight) Logan vs. Cyprus, 8:30; Lehi vs. Nephi, 9:30 p. m.
