Wednesday Evening, March 8, 1933. Girls Summoned To Oratorical Tryout Call Sounded For Greater Representation In Contest OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors Students, here's further news of the Lewis oratorical contest: As you probably know, the subject can be anything you choose. At the prelim­inary tryouts to be held Friday, March 10, four contestants will be chosen. The next Friday, March 17,: two will be chosen. These two are to represent Ogden high in the fi­nals at Box Elder high March 30. The speeches are to be not more than eight minutes in length. The three judges have not yet been chosen. So far, there are 16 Ogden high people entered and out of the 161 only five are girls. What is the matter, anyway? Don't let the boys get ahead of you, girls. Mrs. Chambers will still accept registrations. M. P. FINALS HELD The finals of the D. A. R. ora­torical contest were held at the home of Mrs. John E. Carver Mon­day afternoon. The three judgesi were Miss Tabitha Harness, Mrs. Valentine Gideon and Mrs. Edward Bichsel. The girls, amidst many trembles and shivers, managed to do themselves justice and received many fine compliments. The first prize, a medal, was awarded to Miss Barbara Reeve and the second prize, a certificate, was awarded to Miss Louise Linton. The girls will receive their prizes at the award assembly this year. We wish to thank Mrs. Wade who spensored the contest in O. H. S. and Miss Woolley for the assistance rendered by her to the various con­testants. M. P. ASSEMBLY REPORT In the special assembly Tuesday, our illustrious principal presided. He introduced Professor Jacobsen of the Utah State Agricultural college who in turn introduced Miss Cardon. The latter gave us a brief' resume of the opera "Faust," and ! identified the characters. Professor R. P. Condie, who plays the part of Faust, and Kendrick Hawkes, Mephistopheles, sang a duet, accompanied on the piano by Miss Rogers. This refreshing selec­tion was enjoyed immensely by the students and served as an incentive for all the students to go to the j opera "Faust" which will be pre- j sented Thursday evening at the i Paramount theatre. Much to our delight,,Professor Ja­cobsen announced that we could apply our student body tickets for 25 cents on any ticket in the house. I'll be seeing you Thursday, I hope. M. P. HELP! THIEVES! There is something in this school which seems to be a very common offense. That is theft. In this case I do not mean books or anything of that sort but merely a product of my brains, my nom de plume. Even though it is quite common, yet it was original and I intended it for my own use. Wouldn't you be angry if someone wrote something about your friends and signed it with your name? It might break off your friendship, so please either be original enough to think of a suit­able nom de plume or else use your own name.-The original "Inquisi­tive Me." SOMEONE SAID Success lies not in achieving what you aim at but in aiming at what, you ought to achieve. An optimist looks at an oyster and expects a pearl. A pessimist looks1 at an oyster and expects ptomaine poisoning. The average person you hear spoken of as being temperamental is usually 90 per cent temper and 10 per cent mental, JANET FIFE. ZETA PHI XI Splash-and another Zeta girl went under, but not in her marks, just in the water. And did we have a glorious time? Perhaps as in all, good stories I'd better tell you the time and place. It happened last Wednesday at the Weber gymna­sium. After a swim which made us feel hungry we were eager to reach Ernie's home where Mrs. Wangsgard and Miss Corless served us a luncheon, thus ending another per­fect evening. APPRECIATION Music, just what is music? If you've never thought very hard on this just listen to an orchestra or your favorite singer some night and really think about it. One chorus just seems to blend in with the others until it forms some beautiful melody. Music may make us feel blue; it may make us think of a sad rs- ! past or a very sorrowful incident. Music may make us gay and even frivolous, too. It sometimes strikes a chord that sets us going and makes everything seem happy and carefree. And again some music may irritate us beyond control. A grand singer has something that some people would give any­thing to possess. If it were not for music this would be a dull, drab, in­consistent lift. We would not be the carefree, spirited, fighting people that we are now. It was music and song that led our fighting soldiers over the top in many a charge. If in a time like today everybody with a care would just spend a little time with and study music they would soon find out a cure for any and all situations. JUSTE MOI. THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 9. 1933 Gypsy Theme Used In O.H.S Classicalia Costumes Are To Be Worn At Premier Event of School Season OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors On the last day of March the so­cial classic of the year will take place. Known as the Classicalia, it is in a class by itself as it is the dance when the queen of Ogden High school is elected. This year the election will be by popular vote of the entire student body, a very fair and democratic way of deter­mining the sweetheart of O.H.S. Nominations for queen will be in or­der during tomorrow's assembly pro­vided the students can be kept in order long enough to proceed with the order of the day. The Classicalia is to be a costume dance of the year. This time the prevailing idea of the dance will be gypsies. Almost anybody can scare up a gypsy costume because a gypsy doesn't care what he wears. Borrow a Mexican sombrero, a pair of wood­en shoes, a diamond necklace, and a 1910 bathing suit and we'll see you there. If you can't find a costume of any kind tie yourself up in a gunny sack, with boxing gloves on your hands and have somebody carry you in on a stretcher. Any­thing! But don't miss the Class­icalia. MAN MISSING Mr. Hayes, our expert engineer and janitor, is missing from school these days. The cause is the well I known ailment, "flu." We hope Mr. Hayes' illness will be of short dura­tion. OGDEN VS RICH Our place in the state tournament depends upon one more local vic­tory, the defeat of Rich county champions. We shall attend to this aggregation Friday night, seven o'­clock in Weber High school gymnas­ium. REGULAR COUNCIL The regular council meeting was called to order by President Ander­son; the roll was called, the minutes read and approved. Miss Cheesman reported that the Girls' association was sponsoring an ; atheltic carnival next Friday night ; and explained the many features in the event. The report was accepted. Mr. Goddard, reporting for the tennis committee, stated that the commissioners would take up the matter with the mayor. The report was accepted and the committee will continue to function. Mr. Gaisford reported that the smokeless smoker committee had ' visited the junior high schools, tell­ing them of the event, and reported that the spectacle was complete ex­cept for a date and price. The re­port was accepted and the commit­tee will continue to function. Discussion followed on the price of the smoker and the date of the girls' carnival, but no action was taken. The president announced that a nomination assembly will be held Friday and gave the method of nom­inating the queen, also explaining each step till the final election. It was announced that the booths of the Classicalia would be auction­ed in the assembly March 24. The president announced the game with South Rich Friday for the right to enter the state tournament. Council then adjourned.-Wendell Fowler, secretary. THE GIRLS' CARNIVAL There will be special dancing, fea­tures, basketball, entertaining stunts and fun galore for all those who attend the girls' carnival, Wednesday, March 15. And anybody may come to the carnival. Your dime will not, I assure you, be wasted. A lot of hard work has been ex­pended to make this a big enjoyable affair, and we want everybody to come and receive the benefits of all the effort put forth. But, best of all, it's going for a most worthy cause. A school flag! (Not that we need it, or anything.) The flag committee has obtained the model, which hangs in the office, and we hope to make it a real silk and tasselled reality. It will be the senior class's parting gift, as the girls' carnival is being sponsored by the Girls' association and all senior girls.-Nosey. UP TO YOUTH "This generation has failed; it is up to the children to benefit from the mistakes of their fathers and build an economic structure in the I future that will weather the storms of adversity."-David Lawrence. PLAYED AT ROTARY The high school orchestra played at Rotary on Wednesday. As we happen to know that we have a good orchestra, and that most Rotarians know a good thing and ap­preciate it, we are sure they enjoyed cur orchestra. We were glad to come, Rotary. We are always at your service. FRUITS OF EDUCATION "An educated man digging ditches is still an educated man; an un­educated man pushing buttons to call his educated employes to do things he can not do himself is still an uneducated man. The difference is in what he knows, in his back­ground and outlook on life-in short, in life itself. Work is only one part of life and will be a smaller and smaller part in the future. Educa­tion should find its best fruits in its value to that part of life which is not work and does not earn money." -San Francisco Chronicle.
