Show Ogden High School Notes May 18, 1931 ALICE HUGGINS, Editor Pro Tem BOYS' GLEE, CLUB The boys' glee club has received Imany favorable comments of late.lLast week they presented programs Ito the Rotarians and Kiwanians who pave voice to the greatest approval. Superintendent Hopkins praised them for their work and Professor IChilds of the University of Utah, in Ithe assembly he presented here said, "I believe your boys' glee club, I in Salt Lake put forth the greatest vocal effort I have ever heard from la high school." These are some compliments, don't you think? GIVE MERIT ITS REWARD The office of student body presi¬dent anxiously awaits the final decision us to who will be the successor of our efficient Rowland Corry, Who in all Ogden high school would be better fitted for the honored position than a certain well-known student who has already succeeded in establishing a reputation for the possession oi" all the necessary qual¬ifications? Who is this admirable fellow of such unlimited abilities? He has bravely piloted the junior I class through circumstances favorable and adverse. He has made of the four junior highs a cooperative I group of students desirous of advancement or the senior class of '32 land for Ogden high. His past is rep¬resentative of his perfect capacity for the office; his future, with our aid. will be constant evidence of his boundless possibilities and good leadership. Come on, all far-sighted students, let's back a regular and (Weening fellow. Give your votes to Bob Bingham and uphold a worthy A GOOD AUTHORITY AND BOOSTER. CHEMISTRY AWARDS We should be very proud of our chemistry department. This year three of the students walked away with awards In the National Chem¬istry society's essay contest. John Hopkins received first place loo his topic, and Marion Ensign and Randall Barker each received a second place. I We have entered every year sinceIthe inauguration of the contest, Wjfbt years ago, and each time have ion a first and second place. The winning essays will be sent to the national contest, which is Bnost worth while, because the winner will receive a four-year schol. i and five hundred dollars Wtfly. It sounds good, doesn't it? We certainly hope one of our contest ants wins. PROJECTS there any place you can go without hearing the cutting, heart Irendlnu cry of "Have you got your project?" I doubt it and I can easlly imagine all of you do, too. Ex¬hibition day could be turned into an art pxhibit If half of the worry lover projects were turned into prof¬itable labor. I A few of us are gifted with artistlc talent. Oh, those lucky few, but ithfgreatest majority are just "tItally lacking." We must spend tetous hours getting ideas, then more i;d worse, working the ideas out. And finally after we think our dif- are overcome, and hand or ' projects in oufdear, synmaliTetlc teachers laugh at our artistic at¬tempts. That is project work.

Fay Seager played a cornet solo, and Mr. Robinson, our superyisor of music, sang three numbers for us, which he made doubly in¬teresting by explanation. R. O. T. C. Our R. O. T.

LUTZKER Editor Pro Tem To live long it is necessary to live slowly. --Cicero. ROLAND CORRY There has been and will continue to be written a great number of artides and editorials praising the. candidates for president of the school student bocy for next year, bat little has been said about our president now, Roland Corry. Of all students in the school no ooe has been more instrumental han our ingenious president in securiflg for the students such liber¬ie as had previously been denied; I Whenever a crisis arises he always Mta quickly and correctly. He has conducted the business of the sch-ol -and all of our assemblies in unique and business-like manr So students, let us offer to E Roland Corry our united apprec Btlon of the services he has rendei mm fa the two years that he been at Ogden high school. MEYER N. LUTZKER I-WANNAN-O HUT assembled at "Moose" Riley's, fifteen blood-thirsty seniors; and ten cowering juniors. Each of the pledges was equipped with aged: togs and a blindfold. (The latter was furnished by the courtesy of the- members.) The initiation began.; After approximately two revolutions: of the big hand on somebody's' watch, ten slightly bedraggled and slightly fagged juniors started for home, none the worse and much the happier for the experience. We (the members) have to con¬gratulate the insignificant little worms on their conudct. They did themselves proud. Well, it's about time when they'll be members and taking over the reins. The haughty, overbearing seniors will be gone. It's a cause ifor remorse but we hope it cheers you juniors up. Adieu. "QUEENIE." ATTENTION Any club desirous of having an initiation, a party or in fact any ociai event will please see some nember of the social committee: Chairman, Mary Walker; Clyde Bas¬sett; Elpha Morse. Please follow closely your club regulations. For any information pertaining to finance see members of the fi¬nance committee: Chairman, Ro¬land Corry; John Cawley, Doyle Jensen, Ray Raty, Mr. Abplanalp. RUSS STONE There is but one student in Og¬den high school who is really cap¬able of taking charge of the busi¬ness of the school and conducting our assemblies in the proper man¬ner, and this person is Russ Stone. He has a very outstanding personality which has a tendency to draw to him the friendship of every person who comes in contact with him. Every person who knows Russ likes him as much as they can without loving him, and some do. Russ is a member of I-Wannan-O and Stellae; any member of either of these clubs will tell you what a? born leader he really is. We hope that you will all vote for Russ because if he becomes presi¬dent you will have a president that can manage the school in a man¬ner which is supreme. If the seniors vote for Russ they will leave behind a person who can keep the school on the level taey are leaving it in and probably a higher one. NEWS ITEM Mrs. McKey will leave Ogden by automobile on June 8 for Berkeley where she and her son, Richard, a former student of O. H. S. will at¬tend a summer session of the uni¬versity. Mrs. McKey will later leave for Los Angeles where she will attend a convention of the national education A. S. C. Dad Beason plans to make a tour of central and eastern Amer¬ica, and will make a special visit at Cincinnati, Ohio, where his daughter will sing for the National Broadcasting c©mpany over N. B. C. network on June 28. Dave Wangsgard claims he is go¬ing "where east is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet." Mrs. Irwin has made the neces¬sary arrangements to leave for Min¬neapolis in the early part of June. Mrs. Wade has invitations to spend the (summer in Seattle and in Nek England. She is undecided as to which invitation she will ac¬cept. Roy Critchlow was invited to the Lion club luncheon last Thursday where he was guest and had the pleasure of giving his oration. He has invitations for two more of the leading clubs of the city. MEYER N. LUTZKER. A SECRET Some boys are wondering what it is that Dee Wangsgard, Frances Burton and Joe Fowler all possess which makes the girls gather about them so. Well here is the secret: They are all prospective officers for next year in R. O. T. C. ana tne girls would like to be sponsors, you know. But don't fear, boys, they can have only one sponsor each, so you still have a chance. M. N. L. SPEECH DEPARTMENT Beginning next Monday Mrs. McKey's public speaking class in the seventh period will begin a series of debates which will last for the four following days and on Friday parents day, the class will hold an open forum to discuss the preceding debates. The chairman for the week is Joe Foley and the judges are Earl Reeve and William Alsup. The remainder of the class will give their criticisms of the debates in the orm of impromptu speeches. So f you want your parents to enjoy themselves bring them into the Speech class to hear the speeches of some of the school's leading speakers. CHATTER AND CHAFF Legal notice: Elma Skelton chal¬lenges John Cawley to a duel to death at sunrise Wednesday. And now Florence Gay calls himi "peaches." What will it be next? It seems that Lou Peery and Shel¬don Winkler have the same "Paine" in their hearts. It has been discovered that Mr. Kasius concedes that it is unhealthy to drink out of a poisoned goblet. Have you ever seen Bob give a Joe E. Brown? ! Poor Clyde, we don't know wheth¬er it was the roasted weiners or Ruch C. that caused his sudden ill-ness. Ruth Hawkins sure knows how to sing for her supper. MEYER N. LUTZKER. BETA ZETA TAU Yes, there are four very delighted girls in this school and why are they delighted? Why, because they are the four new members voted into our club. These are the following pledges: Miss Maxine Harris, Miss Billie Glanville, Miss Katheleen Laurie, and Miss Margaret Betts. We feel very honored in adding i these girls to our membership and I ain sure each one of them are worthy of being members. I We only wish we could have pledged more but cheer up, girls, there's another chance coming. DOROTHY MOORE, Reporter. Ogden High School Notes May 20, 1931 Harriet Robison, Editor Pro Tem. GIRLS' HIKE. Promptly at 8 o'clock Saturday morning a number of girls of Ogden High met and started hiking for Indian Trail. Oh, how nice and brown the sun can make their ten¬der skins, but the results on Mon¬day morning were very different. Ask Oertel. After a long hike for miles and miles and more miles, we went down Cold Water canyon to El Monte springs, where we were invigorated by the cool refreshing water. This party truly brought forth the wonderful spirit which pervades the Girls' association. SPRING HOUSECLEANING. Now is the time for spring house - cleaning.

Then, when you come to phool that last day, come with a . ree, light heart, knowing that you = ave done your best. ZETA PHI XI. 1 Soft lights, dreamy music, swaying I partners, were a few of the after I effects of our annual banquet. What |5ould be more pleasant than a for¬mal banquet followed by dancing at the Roman Gardens? Each mem¬ber was presented with a white corsage by the club and our presi¬dent introduced our officers for the coming school year, They are: Alice Barker, president; Harriet Robison, vice president; and Marion Stewart, secretary. One more banquet is ended but the memories linger on.—Harriet Robison, Reporter. ORATORICAL CLASH. Theannual Forum'-Congress de- bate, known from now on as Hie Hendricks debate, took place Mon¬day night. The affirmative was up-held by Doyle Jensen and Andy Brunetti and the negative by Dorothy Nelson and Helen McKay. The decision was given to the nega¬tive by the judges to whom we are much indebted for their constructive speeches and helpful points. Judge Hendricks is presenting the winning club with a handsome cup which will be held until the debate next year. The winning debaters will also be given awards by their club. We are more than grateful for these which give us more of an in¬centive for our work. DROP 'EM IN. Have you noticed my new, smiling, clean face? Under the careful su¬pervision of Ruth Greaves my auto¬graphed features have disappeared. Now that I look so nice and sleek why not drop a few notes into my enticing mouth. I have done my share toward bringing about a new high school. Let's progress a little more. Yours for news, NOTE BOX. MUTTERINGS. Don't be surprised at the strange acts of Elpha Morse. She is just obeying her impulses. Have you noticed the president of S. O. S. studying lately? We wonder if it is to hold up his posi¬tion or because he wants to see Europe. Carpe Diem has decided to give their pledges something. Oh, how ithey love those little slips of paper. Have you ever noticed Ellis Cragun imitating a Hindu snake charmer with his trusty claringffc? Max Mayer's favorite piece is the Laurel and Hardy theme song. Alice Barker has decided that since she can't be vice president shei will be a president. |
