Show PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL The Notes expresses the thanks of the Ogden High school for the sup¬port received by the band at the fine Bandantix program held last; week in the stadium. In our ef¬forts to obtain new instruments, the whole hearted interest of Ogden city was very noticable. Bandantix was successful only because of the ef¬forts made by the townspeople to support Ogden High school. We thank especially KLO and The Standard-Examiner for splendid publicity. We also wish to thank the service clubs for their efforts. Without the business men, almost any civic at-tempt would be impossible. The school intends to pay its debt of gratitude to Ogden by creating a bigger and better military band that will make our city proud.—Editors. ASSEMBLY The assembly was begun by an¬nouncement on concerts of Ogden by Mr. Robinson. The Boys' Glee club sang three numbers that were enjoyed. Jack Doone then gave a talk on government; Phyllis Mayer, a talk on education; Louise Coster and Wayne Bundy, on the status of in¬dustry. The first two are seniors and the others juniors. Teachers judged the talks and the seniors were announced winners. Following this extemporaneous speech contest Mr. Hanson gave an announcement on the Bandantix program. Assembly was then ad¬journed. The order was greatly improved over last week's meeting.—Dolores Hartog. EX LIBRIS We, the members of Ex Libris club feel that we have begun the year very successfully on admitting six lovely pledges within our fold. We extend congratulations to the fol¬lowing new members: Ortel Carr, Katherine Judd, Ortel Scott, Jane Smith, Dorothy Russell and Blanche Roach. Club officials for this year are: President Lois Geiger; vice presi¬dent, Katherine Sandman; secretary Margaret Warner. In the absence of Miss Stephen¬son, our former adviser, Mr. Childs has kindly consented to sponsor our club. ELECTION HELD The Home Economics club has finally started. We have not, how¬ever, sufficient members to carry out our plans. At our last meeting the girls elected officers for the year. Mayo Stringer, president; Helen Holeman, vice president; Fanny Neiditch, secretary and treasurer. There are still positions open that can be filled by etiher seniors or juniors. We would like to see more girls out to our next meet¬ing.—Helen Wolthuis. CONGRESSS Congress is very happy to an¬nounce its selection of four new members. These talented girls are Ruth Trousdale, Verna Forbes, Alma Hobson, and Francella Bishop. The purpose of Congress is to further interest in debating and in public speaking and we feel sure that these members will add much to the club. FLAG SHOULD BE FURLED AT CLOSE OF DAY Writer Points To Neglect of Rule In Street Display OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. Old Glory, as you all know, or should know, should be unfurled at sunrise and taken down before sun¬set. One of the city merchants evi¬dently forgot this rule when he put his flag on the curbing Saturday for the Navy day observance. At eleven-thirty Saturday night, one flag could be seen on the street, draped forlornly about the pole It was indeed a sad sight. When you visualize the American flag, you see her floating in the breeze in all her glory. Not so Sat¬urday. She was a beautiful woman who had lest her following of ar¬dent admirers. Business men of our fair city, if you are going to fly the American colors, be sure you take them down before night.—Kathryn McGowan. BEHIND THE SCENES Almost any organization has few members who do a great deal of work but hardly ever gain any recognition. The Notes are by no means an exception to this rule. We hope everyone observes the articles written in this column each evening. Few of the readers know who are responsible for the typing of each night's contributions. There¬fore, the editors wish to publicly thank the students who sacrifice valuable school time in typing of the Notes. We are indeed grateful to Olga Dellamar, Merle McFarlane, Evelyn Taylor, Mable Anderson, Mary Vance, Leslie Harris and Ortel Carr. —Editors.

SUGGESTION The scene is in the study hall; the time is two-fifty-four p.m.; the place is Ogden High school; the characters are ye worthy students and girls, also a teacher or two: Crash, bang, more crashes, what would have happened? I jumped half out of my seat and gazed wide eyed about me. Yes, something ter¬rible was taking place, for I could see my fellow students crouched in their seats and fear was written in their baby blue eyes. Crash and once more came that horrible roar, everyone ducking and gazing open mouthed at the ceil-ing. What should I do? Perhaps I could hide or crawl out of sight. I tried to get in my dear little green desk but I couldn't, as I seemed to have an enlarged vocabulary. I thought of the friendly little ostrich struggled for several brain wrack¬ing minutes trying to cram my head through the ink hole in the desk, but somehow the hole seemed to be a little too large. I must do something. What, oh what, could I do? Again a bright idea struck me. I would do like Abraham Caesar said "Millions for deafness, and not one cent for trib¬ute" (Do you get the connection?) Resolving thus I bravely closed hiy eyes and crawled out from un¬der my seat, but nothing happened so I slowly opened my peepers. Yes, there were my griends, gazing up as though spellbound. (I don't'mean the song). It was so quiet I knew something was going to cut loose and I was correct, for the noise came with its ever growing roar. Again I felt like shrinking, and again I dreamed oi the quiet seclusion of the inside of my empty purse. How good it would be to creep inside it and hide. I wouldn't, I couldn't do that, so smilingly I turned to a friend, my teacher, and he assured me that the girls were surely having a good time above us in the gym. Now why, I ask, must we all suffer from these unbearable crash, boom, boom, booms (just like the Amer¬ican Indian drums?) Why can't someone somewhere, someplace have pity on us and either change the tune to boom, crash, boom crash, crashity, boom, boom or build us a nice new school. I, as well as the rest, like the last idea better.—Luxo B. C.
