CLASSICALIA WILL RESEMBLE SOUTHERN FETE Mar 4 Costume Event of School Provides Romance and Rhythm OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. Romance, beautiful music, rhythm and color! All these are in store for the Ogden High school student who attends the Classicalia March 29. The Classicalia is the great event of the social season of the school. This year it promises to be more en¬joyable and more thrilling than ever before. The Mardi Gras is going to be transplanted from gay New Or¬leans to one of our own dance halls in Ogden. Imagine! For one night you may be anyone you want to be. Instead of being plain John Brown, or freckled Mary Smith, you can be the mighty Napoleon or glamourous Nell Gwyn. Imagine yourself in a brilliantly lighted ballroom full of colorful fig¬ures. In your arms is saucy Colum¬bine or, perhaps, a lovely southern belle, or you are dancing with a beruffled Pierrot or a dashing northern soldier of the Civil war. Your heart is beating rather fast, and the cause is not entirely because of the music. You are whirling, turning and your pulse is far from normal. The room is filled with youth, gaiety and thousand different hues from so many sparkling costumes of your fellow classmates. Fellow students, do you honestly believe you can afford to miss such a gala affair? Of course you don't! So get your dates early and let me see you all March 29 at the Classi¬calia, Ogden High's Mardi Gras.— Barbara Clark. BAND APPRECIATED Members of the band feel slighted, as they were not mentioned in the school notes concerning the cadet hop. After all, no great enjoyment is derived from working for days in preparation for the event and then being left out when the laurels are passed around. You will remember the notes remarked about the perfect rhythm of the exhibition company. We wonder if the rhythm would have been quit as perfect without the help of the band. —Glen Wilde. Editor's note: We wish to explain this article was received before the publication of an article concerning the band. On February 28 there appeared in the notes an article commending the band on its fine work at the cadet hop. It was the editor's original inten¬tion to publish two articles on the success of the cadet hop, one on the crack company and one on the O. H. S. band. This we have done. We append here also a note from Mayor Perry on our excellent band. Certainly we are all very, very proud of our marvelous band; "Dear Mr. Merrill: The Ogden High school band made a splendid showing in our CCC holiday parade and through you I send them my heartiest thanks. The co-operation they gave us was a major feature in making the day a successful one so far as showing our friendly attitude toward the CCC. "Wishing the band continued suc¬cess and tendering my personal greetings to each and every member, I remain. . . " TO THINK ABOUT All about us we see people who constantly remind us of someone else; people who either purposely or unconsciously imitate someone else. Sometimes our idols are fam¬ous persons, generally someone who is successful in the type of endeavor in which we are interested. At first, one who follows the example of BACK ON THE AIR Tiger Flashes, after a three-week interval, will be back on the air Thursday evening. Instead of hav-ing the Ogden High school weekly radio program at eight o'clock till eight-fifteen, the time will be from eight forty-five until nine. This week's program promises to be of special interest to the student body and of great enjoyment to all who listen in. Don't forget! Thurs¬day evening at eight-forty-five. WIN DIVISION TITLE The Ogden Tigers, one of the very few junior teams in the state, las Friday night completed a basketball season unmarred by defeat an won the northern division basket ball title all in one red-hot contes with their old rivals, Weber County High. After a game full of thrills, spills and good basketball, the Tigers emerged victorious to the tune ol 28-24. The Weber quint gave Ogden plenty of headaches throughout the encounter. During the first three quarters, a basket for either side meant victory or defeat. A surprise attack in the third period gave our team the lead and the division title. To Coach Kapple, to Captain Adam Bengoeshea, and to the rest of the splendid Tiger squad, the Notes offer their sincere congratula¬tions and much success in the com¬ing state court finals!—Editors. COMING EVENT No other school could have a more capable musical director than Mr. Hanson. This Thursday evening he is going to give a recital in Weber college auditorium, presenting the talent of his advanced piano stu¬dents and also exhibiting the musi¬cal ability of Roberta Liming, an excellent violinist. Mr. Hanson has studied piano technique for several years to teach his pupils the proper fundamentals of music. On Thursday evening, some students are going to prove that Mr. Hanson's efforts have been well merited. The participants on the program will be: Ruth La Vin Cragun, Lee Jay Glenn, Emily Menill, Eugene Brough, Wallace Warren, Barbara All day, we are actors. From the moment we come down and meet our families at breakfast to the time we say good night we are always acting—covering up our real feelings and desires. In fact, the only time we are really ourselves is in the privacy of our own rooms. The minute some other person enters, we become something entirely different. Why should we hide our true selves? Perhaps we are afraid that our friends would not like us if we discarded our protective covering. But would it not be better for them to either like or dislike our true selves than to like a mere imitation of someone else? While the original may be very valuable, an imitation is never worth much, no matter how clever it may be. Emerson goes even farther and says we should say exactly what we think and feel; that if we do not enjoy a conversation we should leave or say so instead of smiling asininely. However, that is too much of a good thing. We must use tact; or we should find ourselves without anyone we could call a friend. — W. B. HURRICANE OCCURS March blows in again and with it comes a real hurricane of excite¬ment. Yes, siree! The Classicalia is coming! Already the halls and class rooms have donned gay signs and posters. (Especially notice the one above the office door.) Club mem¬bers are busying themselves with plans and stunts for advertising this gala event. This year the committee decided to put the Classicalia back where it originally began—into a real carnival. Can you imagine multitudes of wandering gypsies, Italian peanut venders, Russian dancers, French soldiers and count¬less other nationalities and person- WIN SECOND PLACE The Ogden Tigers, northern di¬vision basketball winners for 1935 displayed their exceptional ability to a splendid advantage the last week in the state basketball finals. Our team, under the capable supervision of Coach Kapple, faced North Em¬ery, Murray, Dixie and Jordan in their struggle for supremacy. After winning over North Emery, Murray and Dixie, the Tigers faced Jordan in the final game Saturday night, but they were defeated by the score of 21-18. The record made this year by the Tigers was probably one of the most outstanding in many seasons of cage play. After a rather weak start against Box Elder, the Tigers won 13 consecutive victories during the regular season and state series. The record number of wins established by the Tigers and the fine showing made by them in the state series prompts the student body to offer its highest compliments to the bas¬ketball team. ANSWER MADE To the loyal Warriors: In an¬swer to your inquiry made in The Standard-Examiner March 5, I wish to say that I was taught, and I think most of you were also, that "all is fair in love and war." So you see I am quite within my rights, whether the girl be a member of the student body of W. C. H. S. or O. H. S. Can any one offer a logi¬cal reason why we should not get together? To end it all, I will sign my own name. With love and kisses—Ken Armstrong. TO JUSTICE HOLMES I tremble now in humble shame To write a line to you, Who bears a famous poet's name, Beloved by all he knew. No use repeating all you've done; You've led an eager world along, As would a father lead his son To paint the ways of right and wrong. You left the bench of mortal men To seek a higher court above; Black-robed you sit serene again, Conferring justice there with love. —Elizabeth Parkinson. MARVELOUS ASSEMBLY This seems to be a year of out¬standing assemblies. On Wednesday we had a special assembly with Dr. Louis A. Warren of Fort Wayne, Indiana, as our guest speaker. Dr. Warren has spent more than 20 years studying the life of Abraham Lincoln. He is custodian of Lincoln memorial collection at Fort Wayne and edits a weekly paper about Abraham Lincoln. With his fine background Dr. Warren, who is a splendid speaker, is able to enter¬tain and instruct any audience on this great world character. Dr. Warren seemed to have for his theme here "Abraham Lincoln was highly educated and not the ig¬norant backwoodsman that he is too frequently represented as being." He proved conclusively that Lincoln was well taught, was an ardent stu¬dent of literature, of philosophy, of history, of political government, of GIRLS CHOSEN FOR FINALS IN QUEEN EVENT Classicalia Planned March 29; Music Festival Set For April OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Ruth La Vin Cragun and Doro¬thy Hall, two of the most lovely damsels on our campus, were chos¬en by the student body Tuesday to compete for final honors in the con¬test for queen of the Classicalia at the Berthana March 29. One of these girls is to be queen! Which one? That is the question the students are to decide. We urge all to consider carefully the merits of each girl before the final vote takes place. Don't be too hasty! FREE TEXT BOOKS A law was passed by the recent state legislature permitting school boards to furnish free textbooks for High school students. We certainly hope the Ogden school board will take advantage of this provision and give us free texts next year. NOW FOR THE FESTIVAL The music department having put the opera behind it, is now busily engaged in preparing for the music festival, April 12, 13. These are tip be great days in Ogden. CLASSICALIA SOON Hear ye! Hear ye! A week from this Friday at the Berthana ball¬room will be our Classicalia—the most festive, the most informal, the most enjoyable dance of the year. Come, all of you, and have the unforgettable time of your life. Balloons, noise makers of every kind, candy, ice cream, all will be there to help create the spirit of festivity. Most important of all the Queen of the Classicalia will reign supreme with her maid of honor and six at¬tendants. Who will she be? Well, come to the Classicalia to find out. GUESTS AT LUNCHEON On Wednesday the boys of the basketball team and Coach Dixon Kapple were guests of Rotary club at luncheon. Thanks, loyal, boost¬ing Rotarians! NEW HIGH SCHOOL With the passage of bill 119 by the recent legislature giving cities power to bond the same as coun-ties, four per cent of assessed val¬uation, it is possible for Ogden to bond and accept the government loan tendered last summer. As 30 per cent of this loan is a gift of the government, it would certainly be the proper thing to bond and build. Yes, yes, let us bond and build that new high school. LA VIN FOR QUEEN There are dozens of charming at¬tractive, and likeable girls at high school: none can excel La Vin. She QUEEN-CONSCIOUS That students are vitally interested in the queen contest was evidenced Monday afternoon at Berthana hall by the campaign speeches made be¬tween the dances. While they en¬joyed the dance they couldn't forget that the queen election is near at hand. foreign relations, of the classics, of life in all its various manifestations. He painted for us a very delightful picture of one of the world's great men and helped us to a far deeper and better appreciation of Abraham Lincoln. We need not say that the speaker held us spell-bound and that we deeply appreciate the honor that Dr. Warren conferred upon us by visiting our school. TEAM HONORED In honor of the fine work done by the basketball team a special as¬sembly was held on Monday at one o'clock. Praise was rendered by student body president, the princi¬pal, the superintendent and assist¬ant superintendent of schools, the president of the board of education, Al Warden of The Standard-Exam¬iner, athletic manager, coaches, etc. Music was furnished by the band. After the program, school was ad¬journed to Berthana hall, where the students enjoyed themselves in a delightful matinee with Jerry Beesley's orchestra. OPERA PLEASES The ears of the students are still ringing with the blood-thirsty cries the melodious songs, and the amus¬ing dialogue. Naturally a condition such as this is only possible because those who saw the opera were well pleased with it. It is undoubtedly the out¬standing musical event of the year. Mr. Hansen, the cast, the chorus, the orchestra, and all else who were responsible for its production may rest assured that their work of the past month was well appreciated and worthy of the highest commendation of the faculty and stu¬dent body. has every desirable quality any individual possibly could possess — charm, loveliness, beauty grace, poise, cheerfulness, sociability, taIent, and intelligence. She would make the perfect queen, for she is nice to everyone, in spite of the fact that she has all the attributes necessary for a girl far above the average. We want a queen who has given something to the school a queen who is willing to give all she has for the benefit of her classmates. Such is La Vin. Let us use our common sense in selecting the best girl for queen; let's choose La Vin! BETA ZETA TAU The club of Beta Zeta Tau held their second mock initiation party for the pledges—Elaine Jones, Phyllis Myres, Maude Mattson and Gorgeita Siddoway. This party was held at the home of Miss Ellen Huss Saturday evening, February 29. The pledges were forced to wear old clothes and eat undesirable food. The members present were Myrtle MacFarlane, Ellen Huss, Nora Lou Allen, Martha Foulger, Ruth Klomp, Ruth Greenwell, Maxine Leek, Mar¬ion Smith. Ruth Watson, Alliene Sampson, Ruth Williams, and Rose Morrison.—Club Reporter Alliene Sampson.
