Show MIRIAM TUELLER WINS Monday afternoon, March 5, in the annual D. A. R. oratorical contest, held this year at Knob Hill, Miriam Tueller, whose oration was entitled "Taking the Profit out of War," was given first place. The judges were two local members of the organiza¬tion and one visiting member from an Eastern chapter. Miriam will be presented with a medal on Honor day at Ogden High school. Jane Davis won second place with her oration, "Security for the Un¬employed." She will receive a certi-ficate of honor. The other two con¬testants were Marie Manning, who Epoke on "The Position of Woman in the Modern Industrial World," and Ruby Smith, junior, whose sub¬ject was "Old Age Pensions." All the girls did exceptionally good work, and the school can feel proud of the manner in which it was represented. Mrs. McKey, who had charge of the contest, put in a good many extra hours, but feels well repaid for the effort. She wishes to thank Mrs. Newcomb for her cooperation, and all other teachers who may have given suggestions of help. It takes a great deal of courage |o face an audience on a special, Signified occasion, but one who meets the ordeal is always stronger for the experience. The faculty and Student body congratulate you, girls! —Me. HURRICANE OCCURS March blows in again and with it comes a real hurricane of excite¬ment. Yes, siree! The Classicalia is coming! Already the halls and class rooms have donned gay signs and posters. (Especially notice the one above the office door.) Club mem¬bers are busying themselves with plans and stunts for advertising this gala event. This year the committee decided to put the Classicalia back where it originally began—into a real carnival. Can you imagine multitudes of wandering gypsies, Italian peanut venders, Russian dancers, French soldiers and count¬less other nationalities and personalities joining together in a unforgetable evening of merrymaking? That's exactly what it's going to be. If you are an old sober sleepy-head, you had better curl up in your shell and forget about the whole affair for there will be something doing every second and loads of thrills and excitement. Featured at the dance will be our queen, and you all can guess what that means! Who will it be? Far be it from me to say which of the hundreds of lovely girls will be the honored one! Only time and Walter Winchell can tell! There are only 28 more days to get that 40 (or 75 cents) and go to the Berthana ballroom. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more detailed information con¬cerning the Classicalia. — Winnie Winchell. 6. POSTERS CALL ATTENTION TO, CLASSICALIA Striking Art Work Used In Campaign Before Costume Party OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The Classicalia will soon be here. In order that no student shall say he didn't know about it, Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Stewart and others are conducting an advertising cam¬paign for this costume dance, which is so important in the annals of our school social activities. Mr. Farnsworth has rallied around him girls and boys who have talent in writing for the written advertising. Mr. Stewart has employed the talent of his students for the posters. Gayety and sauciness; comedy and romance! These are the themes of the posters done by talented pupils of Mr. Stewart. If the students of Ogden High possess any observing powers at all, they will not have missed the gay banners and the posters hangang in the school hall¬ways since Thursday morning. The romantic Pierrette and Pierrot, the festive Mexican dancers, the comical pictures of some of the faculty, and the banners with their brilliantly colored catch-words could not but help catch the eye of every student that passes through the halls. The art students and Mr. Stewart have put much thought and labor into their work. Come on, fellow students, let's rally to the cause and show our appreciation by buying a ticket to the Classicalia.—Barbara Clark. TWO NEW FRIENDS At a most delightful and im¬pressive initiation and supper at Velma Hunter's home, with Thelma Redfield assisting, Monday evening, A. D. M. welcomed two pledges into the rank of members. These charm¬ing girls were Lucille Hansen and Margaret Moyes, two of the best students, sports, and friends to be found at Ogden High. The members are truly proud to have such girls as their fellow members, whose pur¬pose it is to become, as the club's name suggests, "friends of the world."—A. D. M. Reporter. ANSWER MADE To the loyal Warriors: In an¬swer to your inquiry made in The Standard-Examiner March 5, I wish to say that I was taught, and I think most of you were also, that "all is fair in love and war." So you see I am quite within my rights, whether the girl be a member of the student body of W. C. H. S. or O. H. S. Can any one offer a logi¬cal reason why we should not get together? To end it all, I will sign my own name. With love and kisses—Ken Armstrong. TO JUSTICE HOLMES I tremble now in humble shame To write a line to you, Who bears a famous poet's name, Beloved by all he knew. No use repeating all you've done; You've led an eager world along, As would a father lead his son To paint the ways of right and wrong. You left the bench of mortal men To seek a higher court above; Black-robed you sit serene again, Conferring justice there with love. —Elizabeth Parkinson. MARVELOUS ASSEMBLY This seems to be a year of out¬standing assemblies. On Wednesday we had a special assembly with Dr. Louis A. Warren of Fort Wayne, Indiana, as our guest speaker. Dr. Warren has spent more than 20 years studying the life of Abraham Lincoln. He is custodian of Lincoln memorial collection at Fort Wayne and edits a weekly paper about Abraham Lincoln. With his fine background Dr. Warren, who is a splendid speaker, is able to enter¬tain and instruct any audience on this great world character. Dr. Warren seemed to have for his theme here "Abraham Lincoln was highly educated and not the ig-norant backwoodsman that he is too frequently represented as being." He proved conclusively that Lincoln was well taught, was an ardent stu¬dent of literature, of philosophy, of history, of political government, of foreign relations, of the classics, of life in all its various manifestations. He painted for us a very delightful picture cf one of the world's great men and helped us to a far deeper and better appreciation of Abraham Lincoln. We need not say that the speaker held us spell-bound and that we deenly appreciate the honor that Dr. Warren conferred upon us by visiting our school. 7. PUPILS ADVISED TO SELECT GOAL High School Years Held Great Factor In Life Results OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Little do we realize that the years we are spending in Ogden High school are a great factor in the shaping of our lives. Now is the time when success or failure is determined, for now we have the opportunity to learn. In the future we shall look back; some of us will be thankful that we made the most of our opportunities, others will be wishing they could make a fresh start. It is too bad that so many of us do not realize until the middle of life that the time to set a goal and work toward it is in youth. Don't make the same mistake that thousands of others have made. Now is the time to begin and to begin right.—Le Ida Roberts. |
