Show is now that we long for the beauty of Cleopatra, the sex appeal of John Smith, and the intelligence of Solomon. But there is another important thing which spring always brings—the renewal of sports. Carpe went roller skating last Wednesday; just think, before long we will be swimming and hiking! Good old spring, we are so close to nature that we try to live as Emerson suggests, "He is great who is what he is from Nature, and who never reminds us of others." —Lorna Malan. SPONSORS' BANQUET A great discovery! Mr. Merrill has been deceiving us, students, he real¬ly has a sense of humor. "Where wis this discovery made? At the Spon¬sors' banquet last Saturday evening at Dick's Cafe. It was really a delightful dinner and we were enter¬tained afterwards with speeches from Mrs. Irwin, Mr. Merrill and several of the officers. Besides the officers of the R. O. T. C. were in¬vited Mr. and Mrs. Merrill, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, Captain and Mrs. Sparks, Lieutenant and Mrs. Hallo- way, and Mr. and Mrs. Hansen. Dancing at the Berthana followed the dinner. BETA ZETA TAU ART EXHIBIT Have you seen the Art Exhibit? What exhibit? Why the big Art Ogden High School Notes March 11, 1931 We are none of us really down and out until we admit it to our¬selves. OUR VICTORY We have always maintained (and other folks, too) that victory once tasted is too sweet to relinquish. Such being the case, the Tigers having once drunk form the victory cup wanted another taste; conse-quently Monday night they dug in, scratched, fought and bruised the Warriors 'til they relinquished their claims on the cup and modestly re¬tired to permit us to enjoy its con¬tents to the utmost. While the game did not have the terrific sus¬pense that was at the previous con¬test, there was much more sensa¬tional play. The tremendous crowd was thrilled time and again by spectacular plays that were engin¬eered by both teams. The Tigers obtained the lead from the first and never relinquished it. At the half we were leading, 19-11. The de¬termined Weberites came back and staged a rally that almost put them even, but "the Streaks'" steady play gradually put them ahead and at the whistle—gun or whatever it was —the score stood 39-27, our favor. Mr. Kapple and the team certainly deserve congratulatoins! We con¬gratulate the boys for their splen¬did fight and sportsmanship. We have a team that's going to make things plenty hot for the con¬testants at the tourney. Good luck, gang! We're betting on you! And, say, Weber, we wish to congratulate you for the splendid team you have, and for the fine sportsmanship you have shown us! We wish the best of luck in your game with Ran¬dolph. Let's go down to the tour¬ney and show them that the Ogden division has some real basketball teams and real lively student bodies. Yea bo! WHO? A queen of a girl for a queen! What say you? Aye is heard from many directions. All right then, if you want a queen of a girl for a queen, who shall it be? Prom all corners and nooks of the school comes back the one unanimous an¬swer—Ila Smith! Aye, aye, sir. Ila for queen!—C. O. D. (Political advertisement—unpaid.)

The standing of the companies on March 10, is: Band, first; company C, second; company D, third; company B, fourth. CHATTER AND CHAFF Project time is drawing near. How about yours, have you started it yet? If not, we will do it at rea-sonable prices. See Fish & Fish, Incorpalated. Sheldon is off to China—he claims—he claims that the cost of loving is cheaper there. Wonder if he's going alone. CLASSICALIA COMMITTEES The Classicalia committees have been appointed and are into the spirit of the thing most enthusias-tically. Let's do our share to make it a success—financially as well as socially. The committees are: Fac-ulty members—Ernest Wangsgard, chairman; Mr. Connell, Miss Wool- ley, Miss Schofield. General com¬mittee—Doyle Jensen, chairman; Bob Kimball, Raymond Raty. Pageant committee — Dorothy Knowldon, chairman; Lorna Malan, Andrew Brunetti. Contest committee—Preston Mulcahy, chairman; Marion Ensign, Lowell Alvord. Con¬struction committee—Phillip Weeks. TAU ETA NU "Oh! Oh! I'm so sorry about these notes. I really didn't mean to have them late. Honest I didn't." "Well, we will excuse you this time, but do not let it happen again What about the party we gave Feb-ruary 27?" "Oh, that party was marvelous, it was just grand and we all want to thank Virginia and Florence for giving us such a wonderful time." "What about the prizes; who got those?" "I beg your pardon, I meant to tell you. Elpha Morse and Margaret Thomas received the prizes, which were beautiful handkerchiefs." "Why, who is Margaret Thomas? I don't know her." "She is the new pledge we just took in our club, don't you think you will like her?" "Oh, I'm sure I will, and so will everyone else. This is enough cross examining now so you may go. Goodby." "Goodby. I'll be seeing you subsiquently." WHO'LL BE MEDICINE MAN? Talk of inconsistencies. Some one has had the "noive" to suggest June Harrison for Medicine Man. Well, we'll take a chance. What! No more nominations? Ah! Think a while of George Thatcher, High's intellectual genius. The one and only. If anyone sees Jeanne V. with a butcher knife, warn me. She's on the war path and after my "sculp." The "Frigidaire" is all hot and both¬ered now. Bring on your wild "Injuns." We can use them. Remember 9 a. m. to¬morrow morning closes the nomina¬tions. Yeow. The Indians are com¬ing. S. A. R. The S. A. R. contest will be held Thursday night after school. Mrs. McKey looks for a real contest. A number of boys are really interested. The orations will undoubtedly be exceptionally well done.—Owl. Ogden High School Notes March 12, 1931 MEDICINE MEN Nominations are now closed. Think over the candidates. They are far from satisfactory but considering the poor material that you had to nick from, thev are fair. The latest objects of derision are: "Pansie" Oscar B. "Big Ears" Madson. Give the women a break— yeah, and don't choose him; Andy Brunetti, the Artful Dodger, is up, no, he's down, no, up, well to con tinue he'd be great with a big grin, and a rattle. Look out! Such men are dangerous; lastly, Charles Pet-erson, the long, lanky Swede with the winning smile. Give him a break and don't hit him too hard. The winner will be announced in a few days. Tickets for the Clasiscalia go on sale Monday. One vote to a ticket- one vote to a student! Only students with tickets may vote. ADVANCED DOPE The tickets for the Classicalia will be on sale Monday as we have said before. They will not be tickets to admit couples, but will be good for only one admittance and will cost fifty cents. The tickets will be perforated into four parts, the bot¬tom section good for tag day, the second good for one vote for queen and. maid of honor, the third section good for one vote for the queen dur¬ing the last week before the Classi¬calia, and the last section good for admittance to the dance. No more than one ticket will be sold per per¬son and no one outside of school may vote with one. A different ticket will be sold to non-students of Ogden High school. Also, it should be an act of chivalry for the boys with dates to buy their wom¬en a ticket. All tickets should be worn on tag day, Thursday, March 19, as everyone who hasn't bought a ticket or isn't wearing one during the day on his person will be vul¬nerable prey for all ticket sales¬men. Students, buy your tickets now so that you may vote on the next bal¬lot! ON ANNOUNCEMENTS We must not forget that there is such a thing as graduation day. Even though this event does seem hazy and far distant, there are a few students who anticipate the ar¬rival of it. At least a committee on announcements is functioning prop¬erly under the chairman, Andrew Brunetti, and his two committeemen, Nathalie Layton, and Joe Foley. Don't lose hope, students. The pos¬sibility of graduating is not as vague as you are led to believe. On the other hand it is as near as you make it. Your destiny is in your hands —have faith. CHATTER AND CHAFF Seen Marvel Middleton's finger? Wonder who sat on it. When asked why it was that he received such low grades in all his tests in chemis¬try, Fera Young replied that he Was saving his brain power for the big final. ADVANCED NEWS Wednesday, from what we hear, our Tigers play Minersville in the first tourney game. The time is not decided but if it's late enough to permit us to go down, let's do so! Mooch a ride off of somebody and when you're down there try to get together and give 'em ah-ah-e-o! More later. S. A. R.
