April 1, 1930 Ogden High School News Nature forms us for ourselves, not for others; to be, not to seem.— Montaigne. For a time the order In assemblies was exceptional and above reproach. However, it seems that we are get¬ting back Into the old slump. Students, don't let this happen again. Check this destroyer of school spirit and good will In the beginning. It was necessary for President Stewart to request that certain students leave the assembly on Friday. It was embarassing for both parties and certainly for the student body aa a whole. Those who created the uproar certainly owe the student body and President Stewart a deep apology. Few things are as irksome as a bull-headed stubbornness in the matter of noise. Let's co-operate with the school and help make the assemblies better. Never have the students been better served in the matter of good assemblies than they are this year. We have a fine stu¬dent body president and he works hard for your pleasure. Let's all help out In the making of those as- 1 semblles bigger and better. OPERA PLANS Mr. Hanson Is progressing rapidly ; with the opera and it won't be long now until it \ill be presented. The ; chorus work Is going along fine and: the leads have all been chosen. We wish Mr. Hanson the best of luck , In his big production of the year. . If it progresses as well as the other ; work he has done for the student ; body we have every reason to ex- ! lject a better production even than - '"Sweethearts." ; ATTENTION, JUNIORS! The next dance in order Is the Junior prom. It is urgent that the entire body of the junior class get i behind this most important func- ] tion in their year and make it a 1 big success. Few times if ever have j- the juniors ever made money on 1 the prom. The fact that programs, s extra overhead and the free admit- f tanoe of the seniors hinders them 11 in the making of the prom a finan- , cial success adds to the reason why they should start working early and F cet behind Roland and his assist- . ants. Let's go, Juniors. This is j your bit; event. Get your dates ! early, students, and everybody turn i - out. to one of the most lovely social 1 events ot the school year. \ SUMMER TRAINING $ From headquarters, Fort Douglas,Utah, comes a memorandum: To qi all county representatives and com- p 1 mltteemen, signed by Lieut. W. F. Dean, reading: sa "This office has received several to Inquiries as to the procedure to be sa followed when there is no C. M. T. to C. medical examiner designated in m the locality in which an applicant tt resides. so "To clarify this matter, I wish to state that any physician may give the required physical examination to a C. M. T. C. applicant. I am quite tk sure that any local physician will cc g vc the examination without charge tv the applicant. I have yet to hear in of a physician refusing to do this P when the purpose of the examina- tr tion was fully explained to him. ar "The C. M. T. C. procurement cam- hi palgn is making real progress, show- th ing that the county representatives ye are working. Several counties have ' P exceeded their quotas at this early wc date. Let us all continue our ef- f0] foils. Do not fail to get the maxi- uti inum publicity possible in your local fie papers. In "Let me hear from you from time M to time. Perhaps I may be able to a assist you with some of your pro- tol curement problems and difficulties. Mf If you desire more literature I shall 'rh be pleased to send It to you." iJr! AUNT JANE'S CORNER the Dear Aunt Jane: P« It has been the policy of the Pei Notes. I have noticed, to generally t0 oppose formality and to encourage s"r u breaking down of the old forms ; acn and traditions such as the wearing of tuxes to the prom and the send- vid lng of flowers to the Accolade and f?m the prom. Is this true? Why can- acJ not flowers be sent and why sta shouldn't they be sent? I can see i 01 little reason why, if the policy of f democracy for the rest of the dances is observed, that flowers and the other niceties of a formal dance cannot be observed for the prom, our one endeared and treasured ball. —A Senior. Dear Senior: It is true that the policy of the Notes has been to do away with „ , formality at high school dances and to discourage it in most of its ,, forms. However, I believe some of the niceties of formal dances can be observed and sometimes add a Jlles bit of gaeity and zest to the spirit ach. of the dances, especially the prom. ,. get- As far as formality for the girls 3tu- goes, the prettiness of a formal or ain. semi-formal dress must be admitted t( jirit and the fact that the girls as a 0 It whole want to wear them to the \ f ?art prom, the Accolade, and the Holly Tfc :nts hop cannot be denied. So we do ;i It not try to persuade the girls to lay Ci ties their formal dresses aside because it es ody is only human to want to wear them ai the to the one or two dances where tr ent such may be worn. But flowers must m eep be thrown into the discard and W ime tuxedos for the boys are a nuisance cc the as well as an expense and there cc ate seems, no logical reason why high ye the school boys should be required or vc the even urged to wear formal suits or w. the send corsages. Quite the TUiitnrrr ju ley is the right attitude. Few boys, pot;- w tu- sess tuxes and still fewer are able 01 rks to procure them. So why not, for gc all the sake of the feelings of a fellow 01 as- classmate, wear a regular suit and ti refrain from sending the girl friend m flowers? It is not that the authori- w ties or the school officers are try- w ing to make the dances less pretty be W or less lovely; it is the fact that e: pocket books must be taken into ti h consideration and useless formali- b ties should be unheeded. If the en- S Nf tire student body would feel in fa- fe lck vor of strict formality it would be jh ar- a different thing. So cast your per- j be ie sonalities aside, Mr. Senior, and nt don't send flowers or wear a tux to x" the prom. You'll feel better and an your fellow classmate will also be much relieved. cs —Aunt Jane. m he CHATTER AND CHAFF w tie We 13 and I Wannan O engage of et in mortal combat on Friday at the ar c- Monroe park. They are having a uc a baseball game and both clubs urge m the public to attend. Leonard Robbins and E. S. Smith will officiate, ol " so there will be no foul play. Be- th j.' sides, do you know who is playing left out for We 13? Come and see. , I The question in the minds of the " juniors is, "Who will be student body Ul president next year?" It's never too a early to advertise, students. Get 0 ; behind your candidate and support ar 1 him. An early start may make or t i break many a fine fellow. ,, j Don't forget your Classicum con- 11 trlbutions, students. Let's make the B ' Wild West issue full of whoopee anri bulls. There is a story about the Cremation of Dick McKey that s, would make a corking story for the n quarterly. Maybe some of C com- f pany would like to write that. P; Dave has a good company. So .c say the other captains. They had f' tK il to. Dick has a good company. So J J™ e say the other captains to Dick and \ to C company. They had to. Henry J;h n may have a good company. So say t the other captains. They would like some proof. CI 3 ex COMMERCIAL CONTEST j We are more than pleased with i y,e the fine results of the Utah State th commercial contest. There were twenty-eight high schools compet- is ing in this contest and about 280 ua 5 participants. Ogden won a large fcJi: . trophy which is given for the first rt and second year teams having the s0( . highest average. Richfield has had JU1 this trophy for two years, and three thi i years are required for permanent c"' 1 possession. The second year team Re won a large blue and white pennant sta for an average of 70 words per min- ' ute. This was second place. Richfield took first place in this event. In the individual honors, Ida Mae McGregor was awarded second place, ; a silver medal. Her record was Ha topped by a small margin by Miss Marjorie Seegmiller of Richfield, sal; Three pennants were awarded in the i litt first-year contests. Miss Barker of be the Weber High school took third por pennant. Elias Neegan lost this nig pennan1; by a third of a word and c took second place in accuracy. All ma summed up we took first place in a : advanced team average in the com- p-uv bined team average, and in indi- j0-n vidua! honors, second place in be- off ginner team average and in accur- Ree acy. Of the six best students in the aut state Ogden has three. Not so bad. Congratulations are indeed due to to the team and our capable instruct- Ogden High School Notes April 2, 1930 Henry Aiken, editor-in-chief; Lucille Summers and Dena Liapis, assistant editors. g Think not that thy word and s i thine- alone must be right.—Sophocles. CADET INSPECTION. ' Only five small weeks remain un- '! til the annual R. O. T. C. inspec- r tion. The officers are working hard t 4 to instill into their men the feeling j i of co-operation and spirit. The a sponsors also are contributing much to the feeling of good will between I j fellow students and cadets. The f captains are eyeing the drilling of t each other's companies with envy 1 and worry. Each sponsor is sure 3 that her company will win. Each t man is sure that his outfit will 1 walk off with the Kanzler cup. The : competition between A, B and C : companies is waxing hotter this 1 year than ever before. B company vows that she will make it three wins in a row. A company vows just as righteously that B company will not. C company just as thor¬oughly and justly swears by all the gods that she will make the senior : organizations look sick on inspec- l tion day. Which will win? This 1 much is sure, the organization which will win will be the one which slowly but surely tightens up before hand; not the bunch which expects to walk off with every- ' thing the last minute. This has j been proved too many times before. So let's get behind our officers, fellows, and make O. H. S. first 1 honor school once more. It can't j be done on past laurels. SOON TO GO TO PRESS. The last issue of the Classicum quarterly will soon go to press. The call for material has already been made and selections are now being thinned out for publication. We] wish Bernice and her staff the best, of good luck in their final issue and hope they may once more give us a publication of the outstanding merit that the former issues have had. Whoopee! Horray for the wide open spaces! This is the spirit of the Wild West issue. AUNT JANE'S CORNER. Dear Aunt Jane: How much is the yearbook per copy? When is it published? Who are in charge of it? I believe that quite a number of student body don't know how to procure a year¬book or know when it is pub¬lished. A JUNIOR. Dear Junior; The year-book is two and one- half dollars per copy. You may pay for yours at the beginning of the school year, when you pay five . dollars for your student body i; ticket. The extra two dollars that most sudents pay is to provide for the year-book. Even with this fund the year-book must have additional financial funds, since it costs three dollars per copy. Consequently the Classicalia is given in order that extra funds may be secured. So you see that your two dollars is a very nominal fee and does not meet the payment. It is published a,t the end of each year and usually is issued about a week before grad-uation, Last year tho year-book came out on the day of graduation. ' The editor is chosen from two as- - sociate editors of the preceding junior class. Hod Nebeker is editor this year. The business manager is chosen in a like manner. Gray Reynolds acts in that capacity. The staff is chosen by competition. You must have noticed the campaign on for tryouts.—Aunt Jane. A REJUVENATED HALL OF FAME. We nominate to our rejuvenated Hall of Fame: 1 Dee Bramwell: Because shrimp salad is his favorite dish. Because 3 little guns often times turn out to be big shots. Because balloons go pop, pop, pop, the day after the j night before down at the Berthana. Charlene Scrowcroft: Because a maid of honor in the hand is worth t a dozen queens with some other s guy. Because she ought to tell ( Johnny that it isn't nice to fall g off the queen's stand at Classicalias. 1 Because everyone who writes in her 2 autograph book seems to be im- r pressed with "how glad they were Q to have known her, and how they i wish they had had more time to s j spend in her company.1' We bet I . there is more truth than poetry in that. Hod Nebeker: Because he keeps a pair of handcuffs up in the stu- . dent body room for Gray. Because . Hod's staff is under the parental j. rod of his august majesty, and is r' to do his bidding, not that of any I old business manager. Because he J! sings like Al Jolson. Because he i t thinks Chevy Chase is a cannibal ; island in the Pacific. Because E "Hyde and Seek" is his favorite game. Because he is the only , authority on the etiquet of crown¬ing queens in the state. CHATTER AND CHAFF. ; Quite a. number of students had ! a hard time breaking into class on ; Monday. Forgive them, teachers. , They were down decorating. Seniors, don't forget those an- ; nouncements. Make your choice to¬morrow. If you like presents, send [ a lot of announcements. Each an- ; nouncement is good for a ten-cent handkerchief. And say, folks, don't forget the ' big baseball game next Friday. ; Battling Bill De Hart is slated for ' some mound duty, with Stonewall Deegan as receiver. The batteries of the opponents may be Steaming 1. Stoker on the mound with Iron Man ' Foley behind the bat. We 13 boasts a strong batting team with plenty : of high flies ahead. I Wannon O ! may be "green" but under the one- ' sided umpiring of Leonard Robbins they may come through an apple or two ahead. Spring is here, or nearly so. With ' it Happy Ipson's mind goes soar- ! ing to places far from the school i room. He dreams he and Dad. Beeson were playing marbles or swim- ] ming in some shady pool. 1 TRACK PROSPECTS. More and more is the smile broad- : ening. Of course we are talking ; about Mr. Kapple. The reason is ! that the track prospects are loom¬ing so brightly on the horizon. The schedule for this event has at least been completed, and here it is. The cross-country run will be held April 5 in Salt Lake. April 11 there will be the cross-country run in Ogden. 1 April 17 a triangular affair featur¬ing Ogden, Weber and Davis High schools, will be held in Kaysville. April the' 26th will be headed by the invitation meet at Provo. May 2 will be featured by the Region meet at Logan and May 9 will con¬clude the meet with a state meet in Salt Lake. We expect the best in all of these events. CONGRESS. i The senators are getting more j and more skilled in debating as 1 was shown by the debate Monday j evening. The subject was, Resolved: J That in the United States we are j attempting to give too many people ' a college education. The speakers were Jeanette Parry and Nathalie Layton of the affirmative, who won the decision, and Marion Ensign and Dorothy Watts of the negative. Our coming assembly was dis¬cussed and we intend to present an absolutely original one to the stu-dent body. ' Congress then adjourned. Ogden High April 3, 1930 School Notes The thorns which I have reap'd are of the tree I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed. I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed. —Byron. SMOKELESS SMOKER The seniors have been authorized by council to organize a smokeless smoker within the next few weeks. Get behind this thing, students, and give your help to a worthy cause. The main attractions will be boxing and wrestling. If you have any pug¬nacious tendencies or any fighting qualities please apply to box. Let's have a big support of the smokeless smoker. OPERA PROGRESSING Intensive drilling is now under j way to round the chorus and the solo work into condition for the opera which will be presented a few weeks hence. The cast is working hard and, according to all predictions, will put on a polished performance. All kinds of success is wished them 1 by the student body and we assure J them that united support will be I given. TENNIS TOURNAMENT Although the tennis courts will not be usable this year the student body council has made an effort to have a tennis tournament. It will in all events be held on the Weber gym courts. If you are a tennis enthusi¬ast don't fail to enter the tourna¬ment. The board is doing all in its power to make tennis live at O. H. S. Let's show them that we really want the courts put back by having the biggest, hottest competition in the tennis line in the history of the school. A FINE COURSE Few courses present as much op¬portunity for a widening of knowl¬edge or for an appreciation of the truly fine as does the second half of senior English. The course deals almost entirely in English and American literature. Under the fine supervision of Mrs. Newcomb the seniors are taken from an infantile stage in apprication of what is good in reading to a true appreciation and valuation of the beautiful in po¬etry and prose. The personal ap¬peal Mrs. Newcomb puts forth to her students adds a great deal to the enhancement of the course and cer¬tainly the splendid atmosphere is breathed into every senior and will be carried forth into the world to help to bring out the beautiful in life wherever life may lead. AUNT JANE S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I would like to' express for my¬self and for the student body the appreciation of all of the student body for the invaluable work of the clubs and of Mr. E. S. Smith. I, personally, have been for a long time rather skeptical about the work of the clubs at our high school. I had heard a lot about their pep but had never seen any real demonstra¬tions of its true worth. Now I am surely convinced. I believe few of the faculty members are so devoted to the students as is Mr. Smith and he certainly should be commended for his untiring work. We hope it will continue.—A Rejuvenated Jun¬ior. Dear Junior: Your words are much appreciated. You certainly have the spirit of the real student. I am sure the entire group of students really knows now the true worth of the majority of our clubs. Never have I witnessed such fine co-operation as I did dur¬ing the Classicalia. Mr. Smith is de¬serving of every bit of praiee you may bestow on him. Also don't for¬get Rader and his splendid Classi¬calia committee which worked so faithfully in our behalf. With the financial side of the dance a huge success, we can now turn to the re¬mainder of the activities of the year with a lighter heart and a feeling of pride.—Aunt Jane. LULL IN ACTIVITY For a time at least, school work will occupy the center of the stage. With other student body activities still a few weeks off, we must again turn our heads and give the teach¬ers a break once more. It is only right that we should do this. School work for the seniors is almost done. Let's cover ourselves with glory dur¬ing the next weeks in a scholastic way as well as in other lines of en¬deavor. CHATTER AND CHAFF Nominated for the Hall of Fame: Hugh Mayer—Because he thinks that when frogs grow up they croak. Because he attributes his long life to the fact that he was born a long time back. Because his ambition is to be pitcher on one of the league teams and carry water. Hugh Ford—Because he thinks sometimes the other driver has the right of weight. Because he thinks that as "stan" means the place of, Umbrellastan is the place for un- brellas. Because he thinks a cold bath will be more pleasant if made with hot water.
