TEACHERS AND PARENTS HEAR FINE PROGRAM Sun. Mar. 23-1930 The Parent-Teacher association of the Senior High school held an in¬teresting meeting Wednesday, March 19. More than one hundred fifty patrons gathered to hear an excel¬lent program of school talent and talks by instructors. The Glee club delighted the audience with two numbers. The boys looked very splendid in their new sleeveless sweaters of black, marked with two orange O's. A quartet composed of Elmer Broome, Max Clark, Walton Foulger and Frank Grastit gave a humorous rendition of "Way Down Yonder in the Corn Field." Solos by Walton F ilger and Frank Grastit completed the musical program. Colonel Thomas H. Cunningham gave a short talk on the significance of the R. O. T. C. unit in the school. He stated that it stressed obedience, courtesy, punctuality, leadership and ; physical development. That mili¬tary training was not emphasized, but the training accorded each boy aided in his future civil life. He added that the presence of only two instructors made it difficult to reach each of the five hundred boys per¬sonally, but that spirit of teamwork was encouraged during the daily period of 45 minutes which are de¬voted to drill. Colonel Cunning¬ham's address was open and frank. He Invited visitors, criticism and questions. Mrs. Irwin, vice principal, read an excellent article on "Student Activ¬ity in Ogden High School." She ex-plained the nature of the school's eighteen recognized clubs, their su¬pervision by faculty members, their requirements and purposes. The council governing the student body is composed of forty-two members. At present about 215 students, or three-eighths of the school's enroll¬ment, are club members, or follow¬ers of some school activity. She concluded by reading the "Creed," a most praiseworthy code, compiled from the four best submitted in a competitive test. Miss Marion Ensign, junior stu¬dent, read her prize winning D. A. R. essay. She stressed how internal luxury and hates, and following of the path of least resistance, contrib¬uted to the downfall of Rome. She felt that America should take a real lesson from this incident in history. That character and real ideals, the support of the American home and of the constitution, were more nec¬essary than ships and soldiers. Miss Ensign's delivery was fluent, easy and pleasing. George Thatcher, also a junior student, rendered his prize essay for the S. A. R„ "Law Enforce¬ment." He explained how Mr. Av¬erage American feels that laws of restriction are made for the other fellow. That liberty all too often is interpreted to mean license. That more respect for reasonable laws must be cultivated in the United States. That this can only be ac¬complished through the home by ex¬ample of parents and environment. That red tape in our courts must be eliminated, in order to make the courts more efficient. He stressed the absurdity of foolish laws, call¬ing especial attention to the "Evolu-tion Decree," recently passed in Tennessee. Mr. Thatcher's delivery was straightforward, his voice excel¬lent, his reasoning plausible. Ben Cartwright, for the student body, made a brief appeal to the parents for financial assistance in straightening out the tangle now in effect concerning the school's tennis courts. 1 President William A. Budge stat- j ed that the next meeting would be 1 held in April, when the program would consist of dramatic numbers, prepared by students of the school. Refreshments were served by stu- I dents of the domestic science de- ; partment.

Out of an exceedingly beautiful and charming field of eight fine girls the student body on Tues¬day selected two of the group. The race was unusually close and not until the last ballot had been polled aid the result take form. The com¬mittee in charge didn't know the result until the last ballot was counted. Only two votes would have been needed to tie the lovely Iras with Charlene, who is now competing with Eleanor, who won first place. We congratulate Chuck and Pat. The next enigma, who will win? Will it be the charm and grace of Charlene or the winsome sweetness of Eleanor? Gosh, it's hard to decide. COURTS TO BE CLOSED It is true that our tennis courts will have to be closed this year. The board gave us their wholehearted support and sympathy. They de¬serve commendation for doing so much in our behalf, but the cost to put the courts in a condition re¬quired by the district judge's order is prohibitive and it is inevitable that we cannot use them, at least for the remainder of this year. Eight hundred dollars would be required to turn the trick and the board hasn't the money to do it. Neither have we. MEETING LAST NIGHT Last evening'the Parent-Teachers' association of O. H. S. met at high school. The winning orations of the D. A. R. and the S. A. R. contests were given and many other fine contributions were included in the program. Mrs. Irwin talked on the value of clubs in the school and Col. Cunningham presented a fine light on the R. O. T. C. work. We wish the parent-teachers' work would solve the problems or our new high school and keeping the one we have in condition which is not holding the students back. It is a fact that O. H. S. is not so much in need of a new building as a keeping of the present one in a usable condition for its present occupants. Must even our present inadequate facilities fall into decad-ence and misuse? DESERVE PRAISE With an unusual amount of en¬thusiasm and spirit have the Classicalia committee under the able leadership of Ed Smith insured the Classicalia of 1930 to be unique in fineness and in financial success. They are working hard for you .stu¬dents, in order that your yearbook may be a fine one. Let's get be-hind them and put the Classicalia over in a big way. Buy your ticket now! CHATTER AND CHAFF Students, if the quantity of the : notes is insufficient bide with us for a time. The Standard-Examiner, which so obligingly permits us to run our column in the evening pa¬per, has an abundance of other news and advertising that must be met. Have you made your choice, sen¬iors, about which announcements you like best? If you haven't, look in the trophy case. Charlene attributes her popularity to the fact that her smile is worth a million dollars. Eleanor says that the reason everyone, including the band, falls in love with her at first sight, is the fact that she can wrinkle up her nose so adorably. What do you like best, students, a Pepsodent smile or a wrinkly nose? Dave says that he'll beat B com¬pany in the morning or he'll die in the attempt. Maybe he will. Then again, according to B com¬pany, maybe he won't. Rader regrets that he has only one life to give for the Classicalia. Famous last words: "When the students get quiet the assembly will continue, not until." AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: When is award day? Who re¬ceive awards since no athletic awards over one dollar may be giv¬en and the school cannot, under this plan, give sweaters or articles of value? Do you think this a good plan? I AM IN DOUBT. Dear I Am In Doubt: Award day is a day or two before graduation. It is a day when all awards won by the school or stu¬dents in the school receive them. It is true that the school is not per¬mitted by the Utah High School Athletic association to give sweaters to athletes and that ten block O's are given the ten highest outstand¬ing students in every line of en¬deavor. To my mind this is abso¬lutely the best, the most just, method of returning the apprecia¬tion of the chool for service ren¬dered the student body. A student who receives a block O values it more than any sweater or praise. It means that his work has been out¬standing not only in his line of ac¬tivity only, but valuable to the en¬tire school. There is as much rea¬son why a debator or an editor : should receive a token of apprecia¬tion as an athlete. Beside block O's various other awards are offered outside of the school itself for out¬standing work such as chemistry es¬say awards, Standard-Examiner awards, oratorical awards. By this method the school aims to honor students for outstanding work. I believe everyone to be satisfied and no one slighted. Don't you agree? —AUNT JANE. COMMERCIAL CONTEST Ogden High is endeavoring to place a number of entrants in the commercial contest which is to be held in Provo, on Marcn 28. The typing teams are now complete for both the beginning and advanced classes. An attempt is being made to enter several students in the shorthand event this year. Hereto-fore only typing teams have gone to the state contest, but there is no reason why we should not be rep¬resented in the shorthand contests as well. Those who are interetesd in this phase of the contest should meet in Miss Stephenson's room at 3:15 each night this week. Dicta¬tion will be given at three speeds, eighty, ninety, and a hundred words per minute, the same as they will j be given at the contest. The stu¬dent will be given fifty-five min¬utes to type out the transcript. We are very anxious to carry off as many honors and medals as possible this year, and so we urge all who are interested to try out.

C. fellows will tell how much the band has improv¬ed this year. They have a snap and pep about them that bespeaks Hy Lammers.. That is saying something and Mr. Hanson may well feel proud of his charges. They have a fine rhythm, a spirit that breeds first places, a good cadence, a fine ap¬pearance, and every other thing that goes to make a good band. A good drill unit is absolutely at a loss without a good band. This year the battalions will have to go some to keep in step with the music. Maybe it's their captain, and may¬be it's his choice for sponsor, but in any event something has certainly snapped them out of the fog they were walking around in last year and put them into a condition un¬paralleled since the days of the fa¬mous "Hy." ELEANOR EVER ELECTED Students, now is your big chance to make the sweetest, finest girl in school your ruler at the Classicalia. Register the same support you did in the past elections and Pat Ste¬vens will win by a right to the heart. Let's have your whole-hearted sup- ; port to make Charlene maid of hon- ! or ard Eleanor queen. (Political Advertisement, Still Unpaid) STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC The ultimatum Mr. Merrill cent to the students from the board of education doesn't seem to daunt some of the more enthusiastic work¬ers and lovers of tennis. One or two of the clubs have tried to take ac¬tion and arouse a spirit of tennis courts or bust. The Council and their delegate, Ben Cartwright, must be commended for their attempt to I tain the help of the Parent-Teach¬es' association. 'It mav bf that thv will avail us something. Students' united effort can wear away any¬thing. Don't let a few dollars or a gloomy outlook stand in your way. The courts are yours to make and to keep. Don't let them fall into de¬cay and disuse. Few things are as much appreciated and well loved as the tennis courts. They are a part of O. H. S. They must be fixed (goodness knows how) and they must be kept up. A WEEK FROM TODAY A week from today! NO foolin', it's funny but it's true that the Classicalia is nearly here and most of us have still yet to make that date and buy and sell those tickets. This last week, students, let's make big in the way of ticket selling. You can't have a big yearbook without funds and a big Classicalia creates funds. Let's go, students. CHATTER AND CHAFF Roll em, roll 'em. This is the national anthem of Seize the Day. Their rally song is 'I Faw Down and Go Boom." (Carpe Diem had a roller skating party.) Baseball teams make money, you know. So say I-Wannan-O and We 13. Frannie Foley will play left out in the national game contest between the two clubs. Lay on, Macduff. We'll bet cer¬tain seniors who take English from Mrs. Newcomb will be shouting this in their sleep and wishing Macduff had laid on a long time ago. We wish to extend our true ap¬preciation to the following mer¬chants of Ogden who have contrib¬uted for the advancement and pub¬lication of the annual Classicum: Ensign Drug, Utah Power and Light company, Utah Rapid Transit company, Ogden Gas and Oil com¬pany, Lewis Jewelers J. C. Penney company,. Leven's Chain Stores, Fred M. Nye, Boyle's Furniture com¬pany. Armstrong's Sporting Goods company, Dokos Confectionery, Wat¬son-Tanner, Smalley's Wright's. Little Sweet Shop, Larson Sporting Goods, Ross and Jack's, Emporium. A complete list of all contributors will be published in the future. YEAR BOOK STAFF. NATIONAL CONTEST The Ogden district contest in the national oratorical contest will be ! held at Ogden high school Tuesday evening. March 25.

NEW MATERIAL With the school year approaching an end the editors of the Notes are nearly at the "end of their rope," as the old saying goes. Material i suitable for our column is hard to find, and maybe, too, our style is growing monotonous to you. Please don't forget these are your notes.
