Show TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1934. PUPILS URGED TO BE PRESENT AT BANDANTIX Band Program At Stadium Thursday; Economics Club Formed OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Talking about supporting a move¬ment is one thing, and really as¬sisting the project is another. In making an attempt to make a suc¬cess of our Bandantix program we have done enough speaking. But have we shown our loyalty to our band by not only talking but acting as well? The Ogden High school is only one of a number of organizations helping sponsor this event at the stadium. We must be careful lest the townpeople diplay more en¬thusiasm toward this movement than the high school itself. Unless we do our part, it will seem to the in¬habitants of Ogden that we are not worthy of their support. PROGRAM THURSDAY. Students, the Bandantix program is being presented, not so much for Ogden city as for the Ogden High school. We owe it to ourselves! We need a fine band. The chance has come whereby this goal may be realized. Let's not fall down! Remember, at the stadium on October 25 will be found all stu¬dents of our school who are in-terested in the upbuilding of our band, our school, and our city! APPEAL TO STUDENTS. Who am I? I am only English. As I watch you students go by I cringe with fear, and terror shines from my eyes. I hear your "ain'ts," "them things," and other bits of slang. Oh, please don't hurt me so! My clothes are torn to rib¬bons, my back is black and blue. I ache in every joint, and the skin that was once as soft as velvet is Scarred because I have been mis¬treated by you. I would like to help you so! Did I hear that girl say she hated me? Oh, no! I could be your friend if you would only let me. Those who have treated me kindly have suc¬ceeded in the business and social world. Only those who have me with them can climb to the heights in their later life. No one in busi¬ness or in society wants to asso¬ciate with an individual who mis¬uses me so. Again I plead, "Please don't abuse me, for I am sadly afraid that you will drive me away. Then where would I go?"—Barbara Clark. WINTER USHERED IN. A perennial snowstorm which failed to materialize last winter surprised, us Friday. It was to us almost as water is to the thirsting, or food to those on the verge of starvation. After such rainstorms as those which had drizzled for several preceding hours, the soft, feather-like downfall was a welcome relief, bringing with it hopes for more and lasting snow.—B. T. HOME ECONOMICS CLASS. At last it has happened! For two years the school has gone without a Home Economics club. Now we are starting another one, and as all girls who take home economics are eligible, we urge every one to at¬tend our meetings. We hope the mothers who read this article will encourage their daughters to join too. May the organization flourish!— The Home Economics Girls. ILLITERATE'S DIARY. October 23. This morning I was lyin' in bed tryin' to think of some reason so i woodn't have to go to skoolwhen i remeberd the big footbal game. And i thot i beter go, after all, which i did. On the way i met "tubs" and beins as i don't like him, i sez "Holo, fat." He. didn't like it so he sez "them's fightin'words." And i sez, "i'd fight yu any day, but i'm just not in the mood." So i hurried off fast like just to show him i wasn't. In zoology the teecher asked me to explane the word "enzymes," and when i sed he was an inventer who descovered the lite theory, the teecher sed i better come in and see him after skool. But i told him wanted to see Bear River loose and i'd sel an extra "Bandantix" tiket, and he sed he didn't want to see me anyway, which he didn't on account of we got out early for th game. MORE EXPLANATION. You've been wondering about the school play, so I'm going to tell you a few facts about it. The play "Cappy Ricks," is written by Ed¬ward E. Rose and is published by Samuel French. "Cappy Ricks" is a determined, eccentric and lovable man of sixty, who is the owner of a large ship-ping concern. Because of a busi¬ness difficulty Captain Matt Peasley, one of Cappy's best seamen, resigns his job and establishes a shipping buiness for himelf with Florence Ricks, Cappy's daughter, whom Matt knows only as Goldie Glake, a silent partner. When Peasley's business begins to flourish and soar above Cappy's look out! Then the action occurs. The play is full of wit and hu¬mor, romance, and pathos. The players have been cast exception¬ally well and are now working dili¬gently under the capable supervision of Miss Woolley. The business manager of this production is George Lowe, and the assistant director is Marion Smith. The play is to be produced either the last week of November or the first of December. Watch for it; don't miss it! —E. C. THE MOCK FUNERAL. There's a lot of gossip floating around concerning the appropriate¬ness of our recent pep rally. It has been stated by a few old "fogies" that it degraded the Ogden High school very much personally, and I think most everyone has the same opinion. This is not true. This town of ours needs a little excitement to arouse inhabitants out of their slumber. This rally, in the form of a mock funeral for the Box Elder Bee, certainly served the pur¬pose. It was original, thus attract¬ing the attention of scores of towns¬people in addition to splendid sup¬port from our own ranks. Good grief, students, don't you really think that it's about time we were having a rally which dif¬fers from the ordinary procedure held in a theatre. Of course, that is all right, but we want something different, something which will let us give vent to our feelings a little more. Did the funeral do it? In¬deed it did! I suggest that we have more rallies like this one that is really original and interesting. Come on, students let's back Dick and push over some other pep rallies arous¬ing school spirit—Larry Evans. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, MORE PLAYERS ARE DESIRED BY ORCHESTRA Better Results Possible If Membership Is Increased OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. The number of students enlisted in the orchestra this year is only 40, but the aim of this group is to have from 90 to 100. With more in¬struments to play the harmonious classical melodies, the result pro¬duced upon attentive listeners would be much more effective and a high¬er degree of perfection would be more easily obtained. There are still in school numer¬ous boys and girls who have instru¬ments but do not belong to the or-chestra. Is that a demonstration of school loyalty? A display of co-op¬erative spirit? Certainly not. Let us all take an active interest in the welfare of the school organ¬ization, the orchestra. PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL The Notes expresses the thanks of the Ogden High school for the sup¬port received by the band at the fine Bandantix program held last; week in the stadium. In our ef¬forts to obtain new instruments, the whole hearted interest of Ogden city was very noticable. Bandantix was successful only because of the ef¬forts made by the townspeople to support Ogden High school. We thank especially KLO and The Standard-Examiner for splendid publicity. We also wish to thank the service clubs for their efforts. Without the business men, almost any civic at¬tempt would be impossible. The school intends to pay its debt of gratitude to Ogden by creating a bigger and better military band that will make our city proud.—Editors. ASSEMBLY The assembly was begun by an¬nouncement on concerts of Ogden by Mr. Robinson. The Boys' Glee club sang three numbers that were enjoyed. Jack Doone then gave a talk on government; Phyllis Mayer, a talk on education; Louise Coster and Wayne Bundy, on the status of in¬dustry. The first two are seniors and the others juniors. Teachers judged the talks and the seniors were announced winners. Following this extemporaneous speech contest Mr. Hanson gave an announcement on the Bandantix program. Assembly was then ad¬journed. The order was greatly improved over last week's meeting.—Dolores Hartog. EX LIBRIS We, the members of Ex Libris club feel that we have begun the year very successfully on admitting six lovely pledges within our fold. We extend congratulations to the fol¬lowing new members: Ortel Carr, Katherine Judd, Ortel Scott, Jane Smith, Dorothy Russell and Blanche Roach. Club officials for this year are: President Lois Geiger; vice presi¬dent, Katherine Sandman; secretary Margaret Warner. In the absence of Miss Stephen¬son, our former adviser, Mr. Childs has kindly consented to sponsor our club. ELECTION HELD The Home Economics club has finally started. We have not, how¬ever, sufficient members to carry out our plans. At our last meeting the girls elected officers for the year. Mayo Stringer, president; Helen Holeman, vice president; Fanny Neiditch, secretary and treasurer. There are still positions open that can be filled by etiher seniors or juniors. We would like to see more girls out to our next meet¬ing.—Helen Wolthuis. CONGRESSS Congress is very happy to an¬nounce its selection of four new members. These talented girls are Ruth Trousdale, Verna Forbes, Alma Hobson, and Francella Bishop. The purpose of Congress is to further interest in debating and in public speaking and we feel sure that these members will add much to the club. |
