Students—we all feel pretty good now. We certainly have some boys to be proud of. Last Saturday at the B. Y. U., Francis Foley won first place in the 440; Gus Vaughn seconded in the pole vault; Howard Greenwell, third in the 100-yard dash. The relay won the placque for the school, second place. The team members are Greenwell, Duane Darling, Jack Harbertson, Richard Chez. We hope we can have the spirit and pep to put everything else we enter over in such a fashion. The work of the boys is certainly commendable. —Spy. It won't be long now, students before the president, vice president and secretary of next year's student body association will be chosen.

Start thinking and deliberating on a fitting and deserving candidate for these offices and if you desire to expound the merits of your favorite, the notes is willing to pub¬lish your written opinions. AUNT JANE'S CORNER. Dear Aunt Jane: The majority of the graduating boys have already applied for sum¬mer positions which begin around the thirtieth of May. As school closes on the fifth of June many of the boys will lose their places of work. Why can't the board of education consider this: fact and try to co-operate with the students by closing school in time for the students to take their posi¬tions? TWO SENIORS. Dear Seniors: Your problem is a matter con¬cerning the board of education. Why not send your communication direct to the board? Only be sure to sign your names as no one pays any attention to anonymous com-munications. AUNT JANE. Dear Senior: Class rings and pins are avail¬able at the jewelers. Do not pro¬crastinate; place your order im¬mediately. Deposits are: Rings, $4 (balance $1.45); pins with guard, $3 (balance 50 cents); and pins, $2 (balance 25 cents). Sincerely, AUNT JANE. Dear Aunt Jane: Do all seniors get to go to Salt Lake City for "U" day? US. Dear Us: All graduating seniors whose work is complete may go. AUNT JANE.

Shut the door as down Eccles Boulevard Tore a speeding shape—Tanner's bodyguard! Dave, the salt, was off to his task, In the presence of his fair "panic" to bask. Trilling "He Was A Man With An Oily Tongue" he sang "Today Is the Day of Days!" So humming, round Monroe corner he swang To himself muttering—"What will she say?" Then spying his strolling maiden fair He quickly down the asphalt padded. Resolving no time was there to spare, Nor flowery phrase to his speech he added. To broach this main question of a. Reception date He had memorized a beautiful speech true" But when he gazed into those soft, deep eyes He blushingly stammered, "H— How are you?" (To be continued) (Don't miss the next serial!) In Tuesday's assembly Captain Sparks told us about the rifle team's progress and the splendid work they have done this year. He also showed us numerous medals that have been won by the different members. We are certainly proud of our rifle team and congratulate them! The four remaining contestants for the Lewis oratorical contest submitted their excellent orations in the following order: Virgil James, "Russia's Five- Year Plan"; Roy Critchlow; "Mex¬ican Immigration," Doyle Jensen, "Three Billion Wild Horses"; George Thatcher, "In Flanders' Field." It was a very close contest and the decision was given to Mr. Thatcher and Mr. Critchlow to represent us in the division. After Mr. Hanson led us in school songs, assembly adjourned. DEE SHEPHERD of Ogden, champion of the junior and senior divisions in the Intermountain A. A. U. at 500 yards in swimming. Shepherd is one of the most promising water wizards uncovered in Utah and his backers believe he is Olympic timber. His work in the 500 yard free style event at Salt Lake recently was brilliant. Ogden High School Notes April 30, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, EDITOR "A dreamer lives on forever, and a toiler dies in a day." DO WE GET IT BACK? How many of us would use it if it were granted us? How many of us would appreciate what has been done for us? How many of us would realize its importance, and take cafji of it to the greatest extent of ou ability? Why was it taken from us? Wh must we go elsewhere for what w really should receive here at Ogden High school? We lost it throug neglect of duty. We are deprived c having it here at high school, because we gave it only passing at tention, and considered the losing "of it only a trivial matter. But now, students, we are abouts to have it given back to us, that is, if you, the beneficiaries of it, will show enough willingness, enough loyalty and enough enthusiasm to warrent its reenstatement. If and when we receive this coveted thing we must pledge ourselves to comply with all requirements. We must not abuse our privileges, but be thankful for having it, and show that we appreciate and are trankful for receiving our tennis courts once more.—Meyer Lutzker. WEDNESDAY'S SPECIAL Again we met on Wednesday. P. H. Mulcahy, president-elect of the Rotarian organization, addressed the student body in the now daily assembly. We were very privileged to hear Mr. Mulcahy for he left us some¬thing valuable, something we may use in later life. Mr. Mulcahy's address, "Citizenship," impressed upon us our responsibility—"To preserve American (citizenship for our posterity."—Spy. FROM DAVE'S DIARY No. 2 Walking a few steps his nerve to again charter, Dave found to his surprise and chagrin, A youngster swinging on his left leg garter, And beating him ferociously on the shin. In a base voice shouts the young- "Don't be so thrilled!" "Get a date now before she gets chilled! "You high school pansies is a bunch of lunks. "Be men! Hie thee to John's and gedunk!" Shaking off this urchin with a lusty poke, Dave tries a fast one to put over a joke. "Ah, I seen him. I got eyes like an eagle!" Says Helen, "Yea, with a face like an owl and a Becker Hill bea- "How's for a date for the Reception, Helen!" Cried Dave as his pride began to' swell. "I'd love it," cried she, "more than words can tell!" Sa-a-ay, who is this Dave Morrell? OUR MAN Nominations are now in order for( president of the student body next year. The man for this job if Rob¬ert Bingham, our illustrious junior class president. He has had experi¬ence and knows how to do things at the right time. Hasn't he handled the junior class assemblies good enough to prove to anyone that he is worthy and the junior prom was another example of his work. C'mon, Pals, let's get behind Bob for student body president—Digger. CHATTER AND CHAFF An incident with a moral: Mother — Why, Helen! Shouldn't eat that onion saoflH you are going to a party. Frivolous Deb—Oh, mothser, it's just an S. O. S. club party, Virginia Oborn—Who is that with Paul Goddard? Harriet Robinson—What Germaine? Mutterings from the weak-- Don't be a pansy! Gedunk! O. H. S. Debutante Slang-- he's a dumb lug for mooning over that new council member. Have you ever seen or heard Bob Kimball pull a "Mussolini"- Dave Morrell a "Simp. O Dill" -- Joe Foley a "Sambo" -- Louise Peterson "A Garbo"--Chuck Peterson "A Lover"-- Ray "Rat" Raty "A Heyreek" and "A Doug Fairbanks"? "What is this--an old maid's convention?" said Edward Aiken when it was announced how long the girls skirts should be worn in the parade Friday. There was a tie in the race between I-Wannan-O and Carpe Diem at noon Wednesday—more than on tie! This is Boys' Week and Girls' Weak. -R.E.S. DO YOUR PART Tomorrow, students, is our cha to show whether we are sluggards when it comes to backing ouriS ; or loyal supporters—proud to doin part the best we can. We q every boy and girl to be on thijB with colors flying. Don't maktil joke of the affair. Let's have d parents say, "What a fine ground high school students Ogden has. We're proud of them!" WANTS TO BE TEACHER We have at least one stuaeatu high school who aspires to b teacher. We are privileged to 53 a few quotations from a splald composition that this student huded in the other day. "My secret ambition is to f day become a school teacher. 159 many reasons for this. "The first and main reason kfc make kids suffer as I have nfJfered; to make long, long, mcl onous assignments, and then M after school every boy and girl does not have complete prepanfi up to the minute. To keep dl school all those who chew gug come late to class. "I shall have the greatest pleil of all in writing 'F's' on a lug number of report cards. "There will be a weekly test, il just a short review, but a long examination. Among the utfpJ ments there will be much mei work, including several or poacra all the stanzas in Enoch Arden. "Another reason for wanting hh a teacher is the wages and M spent in school. I shall never after four-thirty. If any studail do not have their work by thll I shall fail them 'pronto.' Note: The teacher gave the-fcl dent "A" on this paper. Wouldn't you? Ogden High School Notes May 1, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor "The most important thing in life is happiness." ASSEMBLY REPORT In Thursday's assembly, Dr. Mer¬rill offered an interesting speech on health. The ideas which were presented were valuable to every student, and this information was delivered in a fascinating manner that excited the interest of every¬one. We appreciate Dr. Merrill's discussion of health in our connec-tion, and we assure him that we are going to heed the signs on the road of health. This was the last of a series of very interesting assemblies which have been held each mornnig during Boys' week and we feel that we have derived a great benefit from each one. We have been very fortunate in having some "interesting, well learned men speak! to us on various topics.

TENNIS Recently a group of high school students, future or aspiriif nisers, went to Weber college and tangled with the Weberites in several matches. Ralph Clark defeated Jim Chadwick in singles but Chadwick and Jensen defeated Clark and Joe Foley in doubles. Chadwick and Jensen also won from Hunter and Foulger. John Stanford and Andy Brunetti defeated Fred Schott and Dan Christiensen, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. The matches were interesting and provided an outlet for much of the tennis that had accumulated in racqueteers' minds. |
