Show Ogden High School Notes December 7, 1930 A former teacher, Mrs. Celenea Beaulieu Anderson, now teaching in ohe schools of Oakland, California, sends us this interesting clipped: THE WELL-ROUNDED LIFE "A proper balance should be set between school and outside interests. At any cost, every teacher should have some growing interests outside of the school, even at a reasonable suboridnation. of things that may seem necessary to her work. In the long run, it will pay. Without the activities, and. interests, school work will become stale and unprofitable, the teacher discontented, and life a grind of. routine. "Teaching is the finest of all pro¬fessions. She who gives her best to it is the teacher who lives the most abundant, the most worthwhile life, giving therefrom to her pupils and her. community, through un-selfish devotion and service, the best that, her professional wisdom and skill, make possible." THOMAS D. WOOD, in the Class Room Teacher. MEMORIES OF 1905 Tempes Fugit, they say, and with it many changes occur. We have be¬fore us the yearbook of 1905. From many points of view, this old issue is interesting. For instance, Dr. George Thomas at that time was principal. The school boasted of 400 students including grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. It boasted also of a fine , orchestra composed of six members. Thomas D. Dee was president of the board of education. Other members of the board were E. M. Conroy, R. S. Joyce, H. W. Gwilliam and H. H. Thomas. William Allison was su¬perintendent of schools. The high school faculty included O. J. Stilwell, James L. Barker, Squire Coop, M. O. Blakeslee, Millicent B. Bing¬ham, Jessie E. Spann, Jennie M. An¬derson, Eva E. Busch, J. M. Freeman. J. E. Rutherford, Jeanette Joyce, Nellie Goss, Florence Yates, Gert¬rude L. Clayton. The leading, story, "Feminine Un¬derstanding," was written by B A. Fowler, '05. It seems that even that long ago . Superintendent Fowler knew all about women. Orson Doug¬las "'05 1/2." had a long poem dedi¬cated to "A Wart." William A. Perkins, '07. had an In¬teresting story of a football battle. The Classicum, which by the way. was a very creditable one, one which perhaps has more interest today to many Of the '05'ers even than it had at the time of publication, was educitea by Ivy William, editor: Marilla Hunter, assistant editor, and J. R. Van Patten, general manager. Florence Forrest was society editor, and Joseph Tracy, athletics. The graduates numbered 29 as fol¬lows: Dona Kelly, Joseph R. M. Wil¬liams. Marilla Hunter, Laura Swanson Florence Forrest. Goldy Lashus, Florence Lanning, Edith Stahle, Donnie Thompson,. Lucy Duray, Allie Bowen, Jennie Lund, Minnie Duray, Mabel Brown (15 girls); Clarence Forbes, Castle Murphy, Rex Calvert, George Horn, Louis Peery, Edward Roberts. Henry Gwilliam, Arthur Larson, Walter Driver. Jo¬seph Thompson. Alfred McMillan, Fred Sharman, Ben Fowler and Jo¬seph Tracy (14 boys). Ogden High School Notes December 8, 193 To grow big in a job is one thing; to swell up in it is another. O. H. S. NOTES STAFF The O. H. S. Notes staff has been chosen for the year 1930-1931. It is as follows: Ruth Greaves Editor-in-Chief Andy Brunetti Assistant Editor Elma Skelton Assistant Editor John Cawley Assistant Editor Ruth Ames Scrapbook Editor Ruth White Typist Lucille Spencer Typist IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You will not use slang. You will never indulge in ill-natured gossip. You will never forget the respect due to age. You will think of others before you think of yourself. You will not forget engagements, promises, or obligations of any kind. You will never make fun of the peculiarities of others. You will never cause pain to an¬other if you can help it.

ZETA PHI XI ASSEMBLY The high school students enjoyed a very interesting assembly last Fri¬day. The program was presented by Zeta Phi Xi and consisted of a mu¬sical program with several entertain¬ing readings included. The students were well pleased with the enter¬tainment afforded by this club and fully express their appreciation of the club's efforts. We thank Zeta Phi Xi and wish the members fu¬ture success.—John Cawley. HISTORY OF CURFEU In the middle ages the peasants of France were required to cover or to extinguish their fires at a fixed hour in the evening. A bell was rung to notify them of the time to obey the command, "Cover the fire" —in French, "Couvre feu." The French came to call the bell, and the time of its ringing, covrefeu or cuevrefu. The Norman-French con¬querors used it in England, and the medieval English adopted it as cur- fu, meaning the hour and the sig¬nal for all citizens to retire to their homes. It became curfeu, which today, although indicating perhaps ft later hour, still is the time, or the signal, to retire from public places. Have you heard of timid Earnest Steimle, who prefers blondes because he's afraid of the dark? Did you know that Jim Riley and Anita Van Dyke met in a revolving door? They go around together now. "That sounded like a dirty crack to me," declared Doyle Jensen as he broke his leg. Any girl can be gay in a classy cupe, In a taxi they all can be jolly, But the girl worth while is the one who can smile When you're taking her home on the trolley. Marian Gimlin says she doesn't use tooth paste because her teeth' aren't loose. LAST WHIM "I love you that way," She cried. And so I immediately Closed my eyes And died That way." ART DEPARTMENT What would our school play be without scenery—good, of course, but not complete. The art depart-ment is now working on the scenery for "The Arrival of Kitty," and, stu¬dents, the art department does things up right. CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. McKey certainly has a rea son to be elated. Her story, "The Daughter of a Fool," has been print¬ed in the Improvement Era. Heber J. Grant read it, and, being de¬lighted with it, sent Mrs. McKey a note of congratulation and a little booklet entitled "Up From the Hills," by N. C. Hanks. We are happy, too, Mrs. McKey, and proud of you. Congratulations. COMPETITION ENDED Tonight at 3:30 marked the close of the yearbook snapshot editor; competition. Many industrious cameramen have been "snapping" phases of school life for several weeks in their conscientious effort to cap¬ture this editorship. We sincerely hope that the most feasible competitor is selected. Don't lose faith, cameraman, for you will be the for¬tunate contestant.—John Cawley. TO CANTATA STUDENTS Don't fail to be here at high school promptly at 7:30. All Mr. Hanson wants is one hour's good work. Be on time! Ogden High School Notes December 9, 1930 Ruth Greaves, Editor Lucille Spencer and Ruth White, Typists The man who knows more thar the boss usually gets to be boss; he only thinks he knows more, he usually gets fired. THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY The students can in a small way gain an idea of what is in store for them next Thursday and Friday by reading a description of the "Ar¬rival of Kitty" as is given in Baker's list of plays. It follows: "This perennial success has been played on the professional stage more than five thousand times and over fifteen hundred times by ama¬teurs, wit han increasing number of productions each year. It is one of those rare and really funny plays which is always a success and has to be repeated. Each part a star part. .Bobby Baxter pursuing liiHove affair with Jane against the opposi¬tion of her uncle, William Winkler! has occasion to disguise himself as s' woman and is mistaken for Kitty, an. actress and close friend of Win¬kler's to the vast confusion of everything and everybody concerned; All the action is intensified by the; arrival of the real Kitty." Don't forget, students, that the little pasteboards will give you ad¬mittance to the "greatest show on earth" and that if you are desirous of a better seat, then you have to lug out the old sock and extract an added quarter to pay for one of. those front seats. All seats are reserved, but the first 10 rows are 25c extra. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: John Evans—Because he makes a darling girl—if you don't believe it, come and see the play. Because he holds a one-way tick¬et to success. Lottie Seegmiller—Because she's another illustrious senior. Because you cannot guess her thoughts. Because she only missed wood by "El." Duane Darling—Because a young man who blushes is better than one who turns pale. Because his favorite song is "Mary Lou." Because prec¬ious things always come wrapped in small packages. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Please inform some juniors why they are not supposed to take out senior girls. Please state specific reasons. SOME JUNIORS. Dear Juniors: According to the book of "etiquette" it's perfectly proper to take any member of the opposite sex out, regardless of age or position. Go if ahead, juniors. Take a chance. Nothing ventured—nothing gained. AUNT JANE. A PRESENT FOR SANTA The students of several depart¬ments are helping Santa with his Christmas rush. The art depart¬ment is busy making linoleum blocks for Christmas cards. The home economics department is mak¬ing fruit cakes to sell. The mechan¬ic arts department is making toys, and all the looms will soon be pre¬paring Christmas baskets. It has been suggested that all the students can help Santa make the teachers happy. Get your work in on time and avoid the Christmas rush!—Elma S elton. CHATTER AND CHAFF Clyde Hunter says he couldn't choose his own face, but he could pick his own teeth. Some people just can't seem to understand the beaming smile David Morrell is always wearing. Lafe Snyder wants to know, "Who is the handsomest man at O. H. S. and why am I?" "I hate that chap," quoth Ruth Gibbons, as she rubbed cold cream on her lips. Raymond Raty—I could die dancing with you. Helen Madson—It's almost killing me, too. Mr. Ed Smith says that since he purchased his new car he doesn't have to walk to the bank anymore. (He doesn't have any money to de¬posit.) THE FRENCH CLUB Here we are again, students. The reason you haven't heard from us for such a long time is because we have been so busy planning the lovely party we are to have on De¬cember 20. We are discovering new things every day. Our latest discovery is that Ortell knows more about the French people than they do them¬selves. Until next time—"Au revoir." —Dorothea Varney, Reporter. IT'S A POOR JOKE— When some woman blushes with embarrassment. When some heart carries away an ache. When a man's weakness provides cause for laughter. When a little child is brought to tears. When everyone can't join in the laughter. When something sacred is made to appear common. —From the Art of Living Success¬fully. THE REASON Townspeople are sometimes annoyed because the school office re¬fuses to call students to the telephone during school hours. If the people could once realize that we have from 25 to 100 calls per day of this nature, they would see the school authorities are justi¬fied in not responding to such re- uests. This would disturb class recitations so frequently as per the work considerablyta quire a page to make dellvfliM such messages. The office desires to be commodating as possible, an undertake to deliver all im messages, but very much pre students be not called during school hours except in cases of urgent necessity.

Last, but not least, Ecklund gave us a reading while all enjoyed so much that veH when it ended. Was it roiH Well, I'll say! AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Is it proper for a girl to card to a boy for Christmas? are two boys in the same don't know which I like Should I send a card to botfl Dear Flora: Yes, it is very proper tor B to send a card to a boy for mas if she knows him well IE as well as for a boy to send tK In your case, Flora, you man send a card to each boy or ofl to the two of them addressing example: Messrs. Bell and Doe. Is that all? -Aunt Jane. CHATTER AND CHAFF. The belle of the choir loved bass but she married the tenor cause he was more high-end. Philip Bartholomew saw on a sign post, the words: "This will take you to Salt Lake." He sat on the sign for two hours and then said: "I wonder when she's going to start?" "I can't keep this up much longer," said the frail strap to the evening gown.'' The reason Virginia James looks so forlorn these days Is beaMjj someone told her there wasn't a Santa Claus. Boyd Budge says: I stole a kiss the other night, My conscience hurts, Alack! I think I'll go again tonight And put the darn thing back. GREGG ARTISTS.
