CLUB ACTIVITY Clubs are tairly under way and most of them are conducting regular meetings. We expect another banner year in club activity. The first semester plays an important role with clubs inasmuch as they extend their membership at that time. All juniors concerned are expected to measure up to the standards of club requirements at the end of the first six weeks, so we advise the juniors to carry on. GETTING ACQUAINTED The Berthana ballroom thronged with a friendly crowd of high school students last Friday at the Get-Acquainted dance. As to the title of this dance, it was a suc¬cess in every sense of the word, for everyone seemed to be trying to make more friends than his neighbor. Each dance automatic¬ally became a "tag dance" and it was obvious that both the senior and junior chapters were enjoying each other's company. The true purpose of this dance was accom¬plished more fully this year than in previous years. The junior and senior boys became sufficiently ac¬quainted to enter into intimate re-lations with one another, namely the water fight. WE "13" The aviators have taken off for a non-stop flight through the school year of '30 and '31. They have held several meetings already this year and are making a marvelous start. The club consists of a select group of boys of high school. The prospective junior material is very prom¬ising, so after the first six weeks you may follow the progress of the fin¬est boys' club ever produced. displayed in this initial affair is an example of the dances that will follow. We hope that the student of high school will carry on with this attitude and support all out side activity in a like manner. W must stress the necessity of sue support in sports and club and literary activity. We want every student's indulgence in the enterpriz of the Ogden High school so that wt may constitute the student body of a bigger and better school. THE MARINE BAND One of the most remarkable band concerts ever presented in Ogden was offered to the students of all the city schools by the United States Marine band, Friday, October 3. It was a profound sight to see the enthusiasm and eagerness dis¬played by the young men and women of Ogden in their desire to attend the concert. The famous band members dressed in their magnifi¬cent uniforms, were the center of attraction during the musical pre¬sentation. Every person's mind was held in intense alertness until the last notes died away. Every stu¬dent was fascinated in his appre¬ciation of that wonderful program. The interest was so intense that before long the seats, of the grand stand were deserted, and the band was surrounded by a horde of at¬tentive boys and girls in the center of the stadium. Everyone appreciates the schol¬ar's attitude in taking advantage of the opportunities granted him and we want every student in Ogden's public schools to continue this respect and consideration of those who are working for his bet¬terment. Ogden High School Notes October 10, 1930 By JOHN CAWLEY (Editor Pro Tem) There is now less flogging in our great schools than formerly—but then less is learned there; so that what the boys get at one end they lose at the other.—Boswell. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS Everyone who is eligible to take the R. O. T. C. commissioned of¬ficer test is invited to do so next Monday. If more boys take the test, it will give a broader view of the cadets' ability, and will give Captain Spark a basis upon which to choose the officers more accurately. AGAIN Amid the groans of club presi¬dents, the club announcements were again postponed, so you will have something to anticipate in our next assembly. ARTIFICIAL WEATHER The congregation of enthusiastic boys and girls that gathered at Les¬ter park Wednesday at 4 p. m. be-held a most amusing sight. Here and there dotting the crowd were the horrified countenances of a few juniors, whereas in the midst of eveyrthing were the forms of the mighty senior class members. Promptly at 4 o'clock the junior and senior chapters found themselves posted at opposite ends of a huge rope. Before long an irresistible flow of water was provided for the amusement of these opponents. With one great tug the juniors began to gain ground, but after a few mo¬ments' struggle by the strength of. tradition the seniors pulled the juniors through the water, thus giving them a thorough wetting in an arti¬ficial rainstorm. Unfortunately when each class was given a hose to combat with the other, the senior hose did not emit a sufficient stream of water, so the juniors seized the opportunity and soaked their elders. The water fight this year was a marked suc¬cess and everyone who attended this battle thoroughly enjoyed the pleas¬ure. The students and teachers of high school sincerely wish to thank the Ogden city fire department and the Utah Power and Light company for assistance in putting on this contest. REST ROOM A rest room has now been pro¬vided for sick students, with at¬tendants for each period. The at¬tendants are: Second period, June Leavitt and Mae Trousdale; third period, Zola Stevenson and Dorothy Sampson; fourth, Madge Garner and Franzon Griffin; fifth, Lavon Thorpe and Lucille Spencer; sixth, Audrey Clayton and Varine Felt; seventh, Lorna Evans and Melba MeDonald. Mrs. Irwin, our vice principal, has written a few instructions in regard to the rest room. 1—The rest room is designed to care for those who are ill and un¬able to go home or who may be resting a period to return to class¬es. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION The first Girls' association assem¬bly was held Wednesday afternoon. It was indeed one that will not be forgotten, because of the talented entertainment it afforded. Helen Van Buren, president of the associ¬ation, introduced the vice president, Nora Hawkins; secretary, Julia Cain, and our advisors, Mrs. Irwin and Miss Schofield. Mrs. Irwin gave a most interesting talk, and every girl present could not have failed to gain something very helpful from it. The program consisted of a delightful piano solo by Ruth Lindsay, a clever reading from Guinevere Wooley. Dorothy Knowlden sang one of her numbers. This was followed by an extremely clever tap dance by Mar¬ian Brown and Phyllis Smuin. As¬sembly then adjourned. PLAY TO BE PRESENTED Miss Wooley, our diligent dra¬matic art teacher, has begun work. Booth Tarkington's play, "The Ghost Story," will be presented soon by high school students. The two main characters are George and An¬na. The part of George, who is an earnest young gentleman about 22 years old, will be played by Andrew Brunetti; Anna, who is a pretty young girl about 20, will be repre- sented by Burnadette Wedell. Three other young girls will be represented by Lorna Evans, Mildred Drake, and Dorothy Knowlden. Rowland Corry, Raymond Raty, Jim Riley and Shel¬don Winkler will portray the parts of four youths. George Thatcher will act as stage manager. Attendants are asked to keep the room in perfect order, replace blankets, hot water bottles, etc., in proper cupboards when not in use, and keep the cots in neat condition. They must not permit students to visit the rest room in school time without admittance slips from the teacher to whose class the stu¬dents belong, or from the office. If the student is too ill to get a slip, one of the attendants may go to- the teacher for the same. A roll must be kept each day of those visiting the rest room, and returned to the office the seventh period, accompanied by the admit¬tance slips. Perfect quiet must be main¬tained at all times. Attendants are on honor to carry out such regula¬tions as would be in order in a study hall. The care of the rest room is a real school service and will be gratefully acknowledged by the Girls' association. "CYNTHIA'S STRATEGY" "Cynthia's Strategy," presented by some members of the music depart¬ment, will soon be on Broadway. The stars are Dorothy Knowldon, Yvonne Pierce. Vern Tomlinson and Glen Judd. This musical comedy has been given for the Kiwanis club, American Legion auxiliary, the American Legion and to the Lewis Junior student body. Ogden High School Notes October 14, 1930 (Elma Skelton, Editor Pro-Tem.) FIRST GAME Friday afternoon our football boys played their first game, and al¬though our worthy opponents, South Cache, defeated us 19 to 13, we are not discouraged. We are more de¬termined to win the next game and put Ogden on top. Our boys played hard and we are proud of them. BIG SISTER PARTY Our Big Sister Party Friday marked not only the climax of the week, but also one of the most col¬orful social events in the history of Ogden High school. Each club in the school gave a number on the program, and prizes were awarded to the three best. Phi Lambda Tau's Woman in the Shoe won first prize; The Birth of a New Nation, Beta Zeta Tau, second; The Follies of Carpe, Carpe Diem, third. Then came the grand parade. Even our famous judges had dif¬ficulty in selecting the best costumes. Prizes were awarded the best dressed woman, the most in¬telligent looking man, the clever¬est costume, the most original, the best couple, the best group, and the youngest acting baby. Following the light refreshments, dance music was played. NOTE BOX We know that many Juniors are wondering what that little box labeled O. H. S. notes is for. It's to give you the chance to put in the Notes interesting bits of news. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee club, under the supervision of Mr. Hansen, has chosen its officers. Dorothy Knowl¬don was elected president with Yvonne Pierce, vice president, and Rae Banford, secretary. This class, composed of about 50 girls, is striving to make its mem¬bers happier and teach them to love beautiful music. Much of the success of the Big Sister party should be credited to the officers of the Girls' association and the committees which made the entertainment possible, especially Lorna Malan and Dorothy Knowldon on the program committee, and Ruth White, Mildred Drake and Eloise Brewer on the committee which gave the Seniors their lit¬tle sisters. something comical that happens in your classes, or something you hear. We also have an Aunt Jane, who answers questions. Students, Teachers! Fill the little box and help make our Notes more interesting. NO SCHOOL FRIDAY On account of the State Teachers' Institute in Salt Lake, on Friday and Saturday of this week, Ogden city schools will close on Friday. Regular school will be held up to Thursday evening. Ogden High School Notes October 13, 1930 Elma Skelton, editor pro tem There's more to life than this speeding up process—Ghandi. Haven't you noticed that tiny typewriter in the trophy case and wondered where it came from—in fact its history? It was won by Ida May Mc¬Gregor last year for typing 60 words a minute, perfect copy, for 15 min¬utes. Tuesday at noon Dorothy Knowl¬den, accompanied by Virginia San¬ders, sang two numbers at the lum-bermen's banquet at the Hotel Bigelow. Her numbers were, "Be¬side an Open Fireplace" and "Watching My Dreams Go By." The chemistry students are al¬ready busy writing essays for the national chemical essay contest, and we hope that more than one re¬ceives an award this year. CONGRESS Meeting was called to order by President Nelson at 7:30 Monday night. Current events were in order for the evening. Every member re¬sponded with something very worth while. Several visitors were pres¬ent. Meeting then adjourned. All interested in debating are in¬vited to attend the Congress meet¬ings. A NOBLE EXPERIMENT On Monday, October 24, the high school, on recommendation of the decorum committee, initiates the plan of a one-hour lunch period in¬stead of 45 minutes as maintaining heretofore. A questionnaire recently revealed that about 70 per cent of the stu¬dents will go home to lunch if the hour noon is given. The committee feels that tne longer period will im¬prove hall conditions at noon and will give puoils exercise, fresh air and home-cooked food at noon. Let us hope this is for the betterment of the school. AT FACULTY MEETING The elimination of tardiness, the cutting down of absences and better preparation of lessons were the sub¬jects discussed at faculty meeting on Monday evening. The teachers spoken encouragingly of the splen¬did beginning school has made this year and are eager to have the best school ever. Let's get behind them, students, and make this a banner year. WHY NO RADIO O. H. S. students appreciate the radio as shown by the many re¬quests this year for the radio. Un-fortunately we have had no radio music this year thus far owing to the fact that Mr. Cummings, who installed the radio in the high school, has the amplifier to repair and improve. We regret very much that he is so tardy in returning the amplifier. We hope to have the in¬strument in first-class condition in the very near future. LEGION WITHDRAWS The American Legion has with¬drawn from our great Ogden-Weber game to be played on October 24, so that they may devote their en¬tire attention to sponsoring the Ar¬mistice day game which will prob-ably be played between the fresh¬men teams of the University of Utah and the Utah State Agricul¬tural college. This leaves the field open for the two high schools and we expect a record crowd. The city champion-ship is at stake and both schools are determined to cinch the championship. Ogden High School Notes October 16, 1930 ELMA SKELTON, EDITOR PRO TEM WILL STAGE PLAY Mrs. McKey is planning to give her play, "The Redemption of Johnnie Average," which won a prize last year. The cast which is to be chosen from her public speaking class will n probably be as follows: Johnnie, James Brady; Charlie, Jack Carr; Mr. Average, Norine Bingham; Ma¬bel, Midlred Drake; Professor Lane, Earl Reeve; Helena Dawes, Echo Vaughn. Rehearsals will begin Monday. CHATTER AND CHAFF. Did you know? That Ellis Stoker calls his girl Marcell because he's not sure that she is permanent. That Geneva Farr is lost in a Woods. That always Elma Hooks her man. That Alice is going to the game with some dark shiek. Wonder if there are going to be any more Huggin's along.
