The editors would like to remind all juniors interested in writing foi . the Notes that in two or three weeks . Council will elect two assistant editors. These students must be juniors. A list of a few possible candi¬dates for these positions will be made by all English teachers and the editors of the Notes.

The edi¬tor and associate editor of next year will be chosen from the two assist¬ant editors of this year. This is a splendid opportunity for all juniors. 13 A SUGGESTION Do you like to read current magazines? If you do, why not add the National High School Weekly Schol-astic magazine to your list? This magazine contains a wealth of material from every source. Editorials, current world news, motion picture comments, book reviews, short stories, articles and comments by famous writers and numerous other interesting items make this maga¬zine entertaining as well as benefi¬cial to any high school student. One section of the magazine is en¬tirely devoted to creative writing in prose or verse of any high school i student. In the fourth edition a poem recently appeared written by one of our Ogden High school stu¬dents, Lola Woodbury. If you have any talent in writing, send in a bit of your own work.—Elzada Carlson. WAS IT YOU? He entered the house on tip-toe and closed the door cautiously. He could hear mother preparing supper in the kitchen and sister reading aloud her history assignment in the living room. He crept upstairs, pausing every mement or two to listen and reassure himself that no one had heard him come in. At the top of the stairs he darted silently to his den and hastily drew some¬thing—a white card—from his hid¬ing place in his jacket and put it under the mattress on his bed, care¬fully smoothing the quilts to remove any signs of disturbance. When he was again downstairs he slammed the front door and called, a cheery, "Hello." It was a rather peculiar and sheepish look that he wore on his face, but no one no¬ticed it; so he was safe—for a time. He did not have to be reminded to hang up his coat and hat, nor did mother have to get the kindling wood that evening. Father found his favorite chair vacant with the evening paper, his house slippers and his cigars handy. It was not until after the supper dishes were all put away—another act of the thoughtful lad—aftd the family set¬tled comfortably before the fire that he white tell-tale report card was Drought forth. Then it was that the aoy's mystifying actions began to be understood.—Elzada Carlson. TIMPANOGOS CAVE Mr. Oberhansley was met Satur¬day morning by some forty to fifty- five students at the high school. The occasion was their going to Timpanogos cave, two buses provid¬ing the transportation. The uistance was made in short time, and they reached the camp below the cave at about noon. Everyone was excited and ready to start hiking the mile to the cave. stcy—were TJleasantly surprised to find a telephone at the cave which, they were told, was connected with the camp phone. There were many objects of in¬terest, but the most fascinating of all was the "great heart." After viewing the cave, the de¬scent to camp was made, at which place lunch was eaten. The group went through the capitol in Salt Lake City and then proceeded home, reaching Ogden at five-thirty in the evening.—Jonsey. FAMOUS SAYINGS Mr. T. O. Smith—"Do you have a point?" Mr. Robins—"Don't bite off more than you can chew." Miss Evans—'Keep your elbows off the tables." Margaret Neal—"It's a long worm that has no turning." MODERN NECESSITY What would civilization do now if radios were to be taken away? It is my opinion we would feel almost lost. The radio has grown to be almost a part of our lives. Through radio we learn what is happening in all distant corners of the earth almost as quickly as it takes place. We hear the latest music. We can listen to a concert by merely turn¬ing tl dial. We are entertained with plays while resting in our own homes in an easy chair. We can hear the world's greatest artists, something we could never hope to do if we had no radios. Young, romantic girls can listen to their favorite adventure stories and seri¬als by means of this wonderful in¬strument. The whole family in some way enjoys the radio each day . Radio has become a necessity rather than a luxury. Father and mother must listen to the radio while reading the evening newspa¬per, and Mary has to listen to some dance band playing softly from far away in order to do her lessons. Even meal time cannot pass without the radio being on. Taking all into consideration, I do not believe that civilization could J get along without this instrument.1 All of the world would seem sud¬denly dull if radios wer to be tak¬en away, and families would find time lagging on their hands if to¬day's recessity, the radio, had not been invented.—Iris Carver. Tune in on KLO every evening at five-forty-five—O. H. S. Bandantics program. SCHOOL NEEDS AID OF ALL IN FRIDAY EVENT Full Support Sought For Stadium Game With Box Elder OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS I Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Friday brings another great event for Ogden High. The football game with Box Elder High will take place at the Ogden stadium. Will we win? That is the question that is on every tongue. Our boys are ready to do their best. Are we ready to help them? It is necessary that we do help them by creating every bit of enthusiasm that is possible. It has been said that more junior high school students attend our games than do Ogden High school students. Let's not have that said again! Come on, students, let's have every¬one out to the game, brimming over with pep and enthusiasm to win!— Elzada Carlson. HAVE WE PROGRESSED? If Gutenburg were to return to the earth and visit any place he pre¬ferred, where do you think he would go? He would naturally be inter¬ested in knowing of just what im¬portance his discovery of the print¬ing press has been to civilization. Should he encounter you after his arrival and inquire where he could best find it, to what place would you direct him In the roaring pressrooms where the newspapers of the world are printed in lightning fashion; in pubmense national libraries; in large and small book stores; in roadside magazine stands; in schools, both private and public, or even in the private homes, he could find printed- reading matter, the presence of which would be most bewildering to him. His reactions would puzzle him, no doubt, not knowing, at first, whether to rejoice in the wealth of printed material made possible by improve¬ments on his simple printing press, or whether to resent the progress made by means of it. Our guess is however, that his resentment would soon vanish and leave in its place a lasting joy at the thought that he had blazed the solitary trail that had now become a busy thorough¬fare.—Barbara Taylor. FAIR DEAL As report card time neared, there was many a worried look around Ogden High school. It seemed as if these worried glances came mostly from Junior faces. They had heard so much about low marking teachers that they were in dread of what Wednesday would bring them. But Wednesday's sun has dawned and set ou a day which passed much better than expected. Those low marking teachers turned out to be fair players, a/id thus the future six weeks hold a brillant aspect for seniors and juniors alike.—Kathryn McGowan. |
