REPORTER REPORTS Begging for five more minutes to talk English, Mr. Hancock, con¬vinced his fourth period Spanish class that the bed-bugs are quite thick in Mexico. He claims to have invented a sure-fire remedy to keep this pest from eating us Americans alive. (At least that is what his discussion was about Tuesday.) You students who take Spanish and have not heard about his ingenious device, should see to it that your capable Spanish teacher tells you about it. If you go that far, don't let him get away without telling you of the antics of this little animal when he used his famous bed-bug extermin¬ator on one. After this discussion, I don't be¬lieve that I care to go to Mexico unless I can charter a special train (freight) to carry my bed-bug ex¬terminator.—Reporter. FASHIONS IN SUICIDE It is doubtful if there is any par¬ticular fashion in suicide at pres¬ent, for individual tastes vary great¬ly. In trying to decide regarding my next suicide, I shall attempt to list various methods, probable or im-probable. Drowning—I tried this, but it was too slow. After going under twice, I gave up and started swimming. Jumping from a skyscraper—I jumped off a little sixty-three-story building, but when I had fallen sixty-two stories, I saw a fat man whom I hated to knock over for fear of my conscience pricking me. So I grasped a fire escape and walked down the other twenty steps. Shooting with a gun—I also tried this, but every time I started to pull the trigger I though how ugly Dillinger looked after killed. I should rather like to look pretty. Starving—I dare not try to go on a famine like Gandhi. The farmers could not, I am sure, sell enough produce to buy food for themselves. Being killed by a ferocious, blood¬thirsty animal—Into the deepest, most treacherous parts of an African jungle I went, meeting most horrible man-eating beasts, but, no, not even one would attempt to kill me, in spite of my every effort to antagonize them. Poisoning, a last resort—But when I discovered this would not always kill but sometimes left one insane, I decided to give up and wait for either a flood or a tornado. These agencies seem to work in other parts of the world; I suppose they might work here.—Florence Wangsgard. SCRIRBLIN'S Here are a few more or less hu¬morous incidents which the Scrib¬bler was lucky enough to witness: Mr. Merrill saying over the radio, "There has been returned to the of¬fice a fine brown glove. Will the owner either come for the glove or else bring in the mate?" Bashful Steve Kennedy sitting in John's for an hour, waiting for two ladies to leave so he could put the "Smokehouse" that he had been reading back on the magazine rack. "Tarzan" Bader furiously attack¬ing Ed Chatlin. Phil Revell, in a very sentimental mood, tenderly calling a girl "Snake Eyes." Captain Randall very thoughtfully reserving a special seat for Darrel Shupe. "Boner" Johnson saying modest¬ly, "Well, I do crack an occasional joke or two." A certain lad standing near his locker, waiting patiently for Dixie to move so he could open it. Mr. Hancock saying something to the class — and then wondering whether he said it in Spanish or English.—The Scribbler. On Wednesday evening ten teach¬er sponsors, four members of the board of education, Supt. Hopkins and twenty-three football boys en¬joyed the annual high school foot¬ball banquet at Dick's cafe. After the dinner, short speeches were made by the co-coptains, the coaches, the superintendent and assistant superintendent, and all members of the board of education. The boys were praised for their fine attitude, conduct and sportsman¬ship and were encouraged to fight the battle of life as they have fought battles on the football field. They were dubbed "champions if not winners." It was a memorable event. 7. MCKAY BOOKED FOR ADDRESS IN OGDEN HIGH Churchmen Will Describe Foreign Travel Impressions OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor David O. McKay, member of the L. D. S. church first presidency, will address students of Ogden High school in an assembly Friday, Dec. 14, at ten-twenty a. m. As the A. D. M. club, sponsor of the assembly, is organized for the purpose of studying manners and customs in foreign lands, Mr. Mc¬Kay, who has traveled abroad, will take up this subject. TRIBUTE TO FRED Ogden High school has just re¬ceived a notice requiring an appli¬cant for a position in the hall of fame. Without hesitating, we have nominated Frederick Albert Nickson as recipient of this great honor. His ability as an actor was primary among our reasons for this selection but was not the only reason. For did you not know that Fred pos¬sesses some traits characteristic of great painters, and at one time had aspirations to become a second Michael Angelo? Or had you heard that he parted from Walter Winchell's path as a reporter only be¬cause no street car ran on Thirtieth street, hence losing him a story? So with such a fellow to represent Ogden High in this great hall, we give him our hearty indorsement and wish him Godspeed.—A Student. WORLD OF FUTURE Recently in our history class, we were discussing the unbelievable changes which have taken place during the last century in trans¬portation, commercial activities, foreign trade and political and eco-nomical problems. After giving due consideration to these subjects we found ourselves discussing what the world will look like a hundred years from now. Perhaps we will hear speeches coming through the air from miles away, asking us to give our votes to Mrs. So and So, who will without a doubt be our next president of the United States. When we peep into a modern home, we will probably hear an after-dinner argument between father and son. The son insists on attending a week-end party in Europe. The father thinks the party should take place in United States. These suggestions seem absurd, but when we think of the difference between old Dobbin and the shay and our modern automobiles and passenger airplanes, we are con¬vinced that anything is possible if man determines it to be so.—Evelyn Taylor. WE WONDER If Pete Piersanti is captain of "B" company? He certainly acts the part! Why Delia Rae Roberts received no letter in Spanish? If Hancock was ever in Mexico? Why "Charlie" hasn't been so popular with the girls this year? Why "Toots" tried to conceal his Identity in the pen name of Keyhole Peter? "Who caused all the disturbance in the sixth period history class of T. O. Smith?—Mort-Nick-Ford.
