Show WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1926 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES A DULL DAY. Tuesday was a dull day, finan¬cially speaking; not a citizen joined the "Send a Boy club"; no booster sent in a "fifty." The only bright spot on the horizon was the fine editorial in The Standard Examiner, asking people to help send the boys to Gary. There should be some good-sized checks sent in today, SPRING TRACK. Representatives of the Ogden division met Tuesday night at the high school, talked over ath¬letic affairs and arranged for the spring meet. This is to take place at Davis on Friday, May 7, at 3 p. m. Ogden, Davis, Box Elder, Bear River and Morgan will participate and all expect it to be one of the biggest, best meets in the history of the schools. A special announcer will keep the spectators informed of the several events as they occur and other features will be added to make the event interesting. On Friday, April 30, Coach Fer¬guson of Box Elder is arranging a preliminary meet at Brigham City, to which the schools of the Ogden division and the Cache valley schools are invited. PLAYS AND OPERAS. Tonight at 8 o'clock Central Junior is putting on "Yokohama Maid," a musical comedy, and tomorrow night North Junior is staging "Penrod." A week to¬night the high school presents "The Hermit of Hawaii." Surely "music fills the air" these days and Ogden will some day be known as a musical center. SCHOOL PARTIES. Principal Merrill is putting on a series of parties this week in room 207. He arranges one for every hour and has for his guests all the unfortunate ones who on account of being "detained by teachers," and "couldn't find a book" and "just going to office to get excuse signed" and "had a sore toe" and other ailments are not able to get into regular classes. Isnt that, lovely! HEAR YE! HEAR YE! At ye Berthana balle room. Ye twenty-third day of April, ye year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. Grand prome¬nade—9 o'clock. Ye old Junior Prom. Seniors present ye invi¬tation. Juniors present one bucke, or ye tickette. WAITING. Word comes from Denver that Reed Gammell reached the hos¬pital Sunday, Tbut the physicians postponed the operation for a day or two, giving them sufficient time to study his symptoms care¬fully, and to put him into the best condition possible to with¬stand the ordeal of an operation. ALUMNUS VISIT. Vernon Matt son, O. H. S. stu¬dent body president, .22, made the school a pleasant visit on Friday. He says that it seen mighty good to be at the old school again for a little while. Vern has spent the past two years in Nevada, working for the Utah Construction company. He pur¬poses entering the employ of Standard Oil company at Reno, Nev., in the near future. TO PHILADELPHIA. Mrs. Gertrude C. Irwin, vice principal and dean of girls, is seeking special .appointment to attend the sesquieentennial exposition at Philadelphia in June as a representative teacher of Utah. Mrs. Irwin's many friends are doing what they can to further her candidacy for this appoint¬ment. THE PROM. The prom this year promises to be the most successful ever given. It is to be a beautiful climax to the dances of the year. The programs are totally dif¬ferent from any ever used at a high school dance. In the deco¬rations there are at least three totally new features. We don't mean just different style of deco¬ration—but a different idea. We are decorating where decorating has never been done. We have arranged that the seniors' last dance shall be such that they will always carry it as a beautiful, happy memory. With the whole junior class behind the committees, the tickets are going fast, the whole com¬mittee is working as a unit, and things are, speeding ahead with¬out a hitch to a beautiful, enjoy¬able, successful, unforgettable junior prom. A DISCOVERY. Flowers and grass an all the little children of dear old Mother Nature aren't the only things that awaken the spring. Seniors awaken to the fact that they are expected to graduate, teachers awaken to the realization that all is not well on the report cards, and Grace awakens to the fact that the excuses and alibis (if any) that are offered are not all that they should be. But the awakening we are con¬cerned with is, unlike these, un¬expected and unusual. The junior class has just es¬caped being surrounded by six silver handles and has come to the front, a newly organized peppy class. We had a meeting unexcelled for spirit and ilfe." A junior boys' meeting uncovered the fact that there are a lot of "go-getters" and "bring-backers" outside of the much lauded ,and highly re¬spected senior class. We have regained our self-confidence and we know that from our class will come some of the best class and club officers, and student body officers that have evr exalted tfye old rostrum in our time-honored "assembly hall." |
