Show SPANISH CLASS Anyone wishing to see an ideal class should visit Mr. Hancock's second period class of enthusiastic first-year Spanish students. From the first of the school year this large class of forty-seven students has been working with great zeal. Inspired by their desire to learn the musical Spanish language, they have rapidly advanced under Mr. Hancock's capable direction. A class organization is working effectively. The elected officers at the present time are Jack Rowe, president; Blaine Frost, vice-president; Robert Workman, secretary; Herman Kuchler, reporter. Speeches pertaining to Spanish subjects have been delivered by members of the class. Recently Mr. Farnsworth gave us a very interesting talk in Spanish which was greatly enjoyed. Surely this class is one of the most worthwhile in the school— Herman E. Kuchler, reporter.

SCHOOL NAMES NEW DATE FOR JUNIOR PARTY Prom Will Take Place One Week Later Than Scheduled OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Our annual junior prom, under direction of the junior class offi¬cers, has been postponed a week, to Friday, May 3, in the Berthana ball¬room. The reason for this detain¬ment is that the Berthana orchestra is unable to play for Ogden High the evening of April 26. One more week, will not cause any inconvenience but will give the stu¬dents amnle opportunity to purchase tickets. This is your big chance, friends, to enjoy a night of frivolity and enjoyment.—D. B. IT'LL BE HARD TO SMILE Dedicated To the Seniors It's going to be hard to smile when we enter these portals of Og¬den High next year and find you gone! About nine months ago almost 500 new students attended an Ogden High assembly for the first time. The teachers and student body officers were introduced to us. We looked on with a brave smile on our faces and a lurking fear in our hearts. We were thrilled to be up at High, but we were also a little afraid. We were new, and we didn't know our way about. "What was this school like and what were the upperclassmen like?" we asked our¬selves. A few of them we knew from two years before when they had gone to junior high with us, but most of them were strangers. Then a month rolled by and we felt as though we had been at High always. We had been welcomed with open arms by our big sisters and brothers. The girls had been given a big sister party and the boys the memorable waterless water fight. Then the get acquainted dance, the Thanksgiving dance, the school play, and other social events came along. By Christmas we were quite sure we had been at Ogden always. During the Christmas holidays, the lovely cantata and the Holly hop were given. Then after the holidays we came back to school and settled down to our studies until we were interrupted by the opera, the cadet hop and the Classi¬calia. Now, lying on our horizon, is the junior prom—and then vaca¬tion. For you, seniors, graduation! All through the year you have done your best to make us feel at home, and you have succeeded. We have never stopped to consider that you were seniors and we, juniors. We were just students of Ogden High. There was no boundary line, visible or invisible, between the two classes. Juniors went with seniors and seniors with juniors. To you we owe one of the most pleasant school years that we have ever had. How can we repay you? We never really can, because things like that are too big to be paid back; but perhaps we shall be paying a little of the interest on our debt to you if we follow your example and with open arms welcome our own juniors next year. Yes, it's going to be hard to smile when we enter these portals of Og¬den High next year and find you gone!—Barbara Clark. NEED REPORTERS Ogden High school is filled with students who create life and atmos¬phere; they ought to be recorded for the amusement of everyone. For that reason the school ought to have reporters, some students who are vivacious; hear all; see all; and write all. It is a great mistake to have only an editor and an associate editor, students. The Notes column needs a staff of assistants to gather ma¬terial for writing up and publishing, for just two people can't be re-porters, writers and supervisors— all in one. Council elects those stu¬dents whom they think best fitted for the job of editorship. Next year only one person is even eligible to be editor—Wayne Bundy, and even he has not written his necessary- quota up to date. There is no asso¬ciate editor for next year; the girl who was chosen in the fall showed her immediate resignation by not contributing. As a result the school and the Notes are lacking an asso¬ciate editor for next year for the first time in the history of the , school. Council, you are the ones upon whom falls the responsibility of this catastrophe. You must decide quickly upon some alternation; that alternative would be to select re¬porters and enough assistants for the future editor so that he would not be left in a rut. A hint to the wise is sufficient. FINE ORCHESTRA It seems to be the general idea in Ogden that there is no symphony orchestra here. However, these people completely forget the exist¬ence of our O. H. S. orchestra. It certainly is a symphony in every sense. We have practically com¬plete orchestration with only the less necessary instruments missing. We have become one of the out¬standing high school groups in the state, and all this in the last few years. Until recently Jordan High was the acknowledged leader in or¬chestra work; they had never been beaten. But then Ogden began to grow, and received the distinction of being the only orchestra to beat them. Now for the second time, we have done it; and, according to Mr. Robertson, who was judge in the last contest and the one last week, we have improved two hundred per cent. And next year we should be even better. So more power to Mr. Hanson and the orchestra!—W. B. NEW OFFICERS Mr. Hancock's sixth period eco¬nomics class recently elected offi¬cers for the ensuing six weeks. Offi¬cers elected were: President, Larry Harrop; secretary, Avis Shaw; re¬porter, Kathleen Painter. A vote of thanks was given to the officers of the preceeding six weeks, and the newly elected officers be- ban what they hope will be a suc¬cessful term of work.—Reporter. |
