I HEARD Mr. Thornley say "Now children, I'm like your mothers. I'm telling you this for your own good." Phil—And to think I promised my dear old mother that I'd never play football— Coach—You've kept your promise. When asked if he used toothpaste, Burt claimed his teeth weren't loose. A teacher was complaining at great length of the numerous mis¬takes the pupils had made. As he began to talk less, someone said, "Who put a nickel in him?" As he continued with added vehemence, the same person said, "my mistake, It must have been a dime." Dot Hall had a birthday the other day. Our president, we are told, ex¬pressed his congratulations in three expressive words. Shrimp and Short. CLASS REPORT If you wish to know anything about marriage and divorce customs of different countries ask any mem-ber of the sixth period Sociology ciass conducted by Mr. Hancock.

PUBLIC GIVING STADIUM CARD GOOD SUPPORT School Is Eager To Obtain Fund For Buying Band Instruments OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar¬sen, Associate Editor. It is amazing, surprising, gratify¬ing to note how generously, loyally, faithfully the members of Ogden service clubs and the public gen¬erally are supporting "Bandantics" to be given at the city stadium Thursday afternoon, October 25, at three o'clock. This afternoon of sport and fun will consist of: Base-ball game, clubs; Football game, Junior High schools; Wrestling and Boxing, some of Ogden's outstanding performers. The affair is sponsored by the service clubs and has for its objec¬tive the raising of funds to purchase much needed instruments for the Ogden High school band. We are sure the venture will meet with success, for every Ogden citizen is interested in obtaining a first- class high school band. Hear the KLO broadcast every evening, six forty-five to seven o'clock. RUMMAGE SALE SOON The rummage sale will be held this Saturday. Students, do you real¬ize what that means? You are obli-gated to bring every kind of wearing apparel, every type of useful utensil, every variety of household fixture and ornament this week without fail. The Girls' association has sincere¬ly appealed to you, members of Ogden High school, to support their cause. Are you a group of dreamy idlers that you haven't even enough loyalty or interest to support school functions? Surely not. Bring clothes or any article for, which you have little or no use. In this way boost the Girls' association and the school which you attend! SPEAKING CONTEST Dear Editors: I am a junior and am still unfamiliar with some of the regulations of Ogden High school. I have always understood that anyone could try out for the extemporane¬ous speaking contest if he wished. I had planned on doing so but now I have been told that the speakers have already been chosen and are preparing various subjects. Would you please explain to me just how these students were chosen and why and what qualifications the con¬testants must have?—A Junior. Dear Junior: Anyone who wishes may be a contestant in the ex¬temporaneous speaking contest. Tell your class president that you would like to give a talk, for he is the one who appoints the students for this function. Naturally, you must have a good voice and other desirable character¬istics which would aid you in organ¬izing your topic and making an ef¬fective deliverance. WHERE IS PEP BAND? At our school games, the athletic team relies a great deal upon the enthusiasm of the student body. It has been proved that the presence of a pep band at our games im¬proves the attitude of the students as regards school spirit. So far this year we have failed to see a pep band at our games. As a result, it is almost impossible to sing the school songs. We need the pep band! May we urge the music depart¬ment to arrange for a pep band to be present at our athletic contests. BUGANTICS To our list of new words I wish to add bugantics. Like some other words, it would aid us in scholastic understanding. When we go out on a 'bring 'em back alive' expedition, or, sometimes, with a cyanide bottle, we wish to have no misunderstanding of our actions. We don't know what con¬stitutes being crazy but we don't like people to think that we have "bats in our belfry." We should like them to understand that we are not exactly afflicted with a portion of insanity but with bugantics—just a scarcity of bugs for some scientific course—an ailment for which bugs, insects, and more bugs are the only cure.—June Streeter. CLUB REPORT The S. W. E. club members have been very busy during the last month. This organization has taken up some discussion of art and voice, pantomime and retold stories. We find that we have some very talented students in this group who will be a credit to our school. Our officers' have proved themselves capable, and we are all gaining experience that will benefit us. We invite all members at Ogden High school to visit our club meetings any fourth period in room 305.—Elzada Carlson, Reporter. GREEN DESKS Why do we have green desks in the library, while in other rooms we have red ones? This question may seem very odd but it really perplexes me. I am going to give two reasons of mine for this difference of color, and I wish someone would inform me whether they are correct. If neither is right, I should be very glad to learn in some manner of the real cause for painting the desks green. My first reason is that green is the color which nature gives to plants and trees when they come to life in the spring. Now, spring is the time of the year when students get the spring fever and, since green accompanies the spring, could the desks be painted this color to offset that fever? Students become tired of greenness after a long winter of studying on green desks. Second, all other desks in the city schools are painted red and Ogden High in try¬ing to be "different" is experiment¬ing with another color which, by the way, is the exact opposite or complement that all the other desks are painted. Could these conclusions be logical? If not, please help me solve this question.—Max Carruth. The board of education has adopted green as the official school color and is being given to all school furniture as rapidly as is convenient to do so.—Editors.
