AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: In case we have not the money to buy street car chips, or hire a taxi, would it be proper to take a girl to the Christmas dance in a borrowed Ford or let her walk?— I. M. Hardup. My Dear I. M. Hardup: Most certainly it would be proper to take the girl in a Ford or walk her! If the Ford is not available, and if she is any kind of a girl at all, she will think nothing of walking, If she does make a fuss, then you will never have to make the mis¬take of taking her again. I will see you at the dance.— Aunt Jane. CONTEST EXTENDED The contest to determine the sec¬ond assistant editor and the two reporters for the O. H. S. News staff, has been extended until Mon¬day. That is, you may hand your reports in as late as Monday—but positively no later. The winners will be announced as soon as pos-sible. In case you don't know or have forgotten—in order to be eligible for the reporter places, you must hand in a poem or a short, clever sketch on anything of school interest. The second as¬sistant editor must be a junior, and must hand in a report of a school event. You Juniors had better get busy! (Jimmy Noblitt, instead of con¬suming carmel marshmallow sun¬daes at the drug store, why don't you try out for second assistant editor? It's open for any Junior.— M. K. WHAT TEACHERS SAY The greatest need of civilization is education. The chief needs are not met by it because educators and others are not agreed as to what is best for the masses.—E, Stephenson. The typewriter is a recognized in¬strument of utility. It gives the student an opportunity for physical expression. Typewriting develops concentra¬tion in reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and English composi¬tion.—E. Franke. Emotion is a stronger force in the ruling of human conduct than is pure intellect. Therefore, "right feeling" is as necessary as "right thinking." Both should be equally sought for in the well-rounded edu¬cation. In this light is the teaching of the arts in high school eminent¬ly justified.—R. J. Peterson. COUNCIL REPORT Regular council meeting was called to order on December 6, at 3:3 0 p. m. by President Hales. The roll was called and the minutes were read and approved. The Ham-and club was accepted as a school club. Permission was granted to Zeta Phi Xi and Forum to hold special meetings on the evening of December 7. The music committee reported that some pianos had been looked at, and the Chickering piano of¬fered by Glen Bros.-Roberts com¬pany recommended to the student body council. The report was ac¬cepted. It was moved and second¬ed that the student body raise funds to assist in paying for the piano. The motion was passed. The proctor committee report was ac¬cepted. Punishment of three dis¬turbers was extended for one week as they are taking part in the as¬sembly on December 9. It was moved and seconded that a committee be appointed to in¬vestigate the honor system. The motion was passed. The committee consists of Dan Johnon, chairman, Ida Peterson and John Carver. It was moved and seconded that the principal and advisors to the papers present five names for as¬sociate business manager to the an¬nual and quarterly, to be voted upon correctly by council. The mo¬tion was carried. A motion that the present as¬sistant managers should continue to act until further action is taken was passed. The student body president was authorized by motion to rent a typewriter for the student body room. The prices for the school play were persented and accepted. Council was then adjourned.— Milton Rawson, Secy. Pro-Tem. Dec. 12, 1927 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Only 11 more days until the Hol¬ly Hop!! Have all you boys got your dates? We would just like to repeat it again: No Stags!!!! THE BLUES The day was gray and wan, with sodden lumps of clouds trailing their wetness across the sky. Lit¬tle flakes of irritatingly cold snow twirled and twisted and were blown this way and that by the insolent wind. They found their way to alight upon your hair, in your eyes, down your neck; cold, creepy things. I hate them. I hate win¬ter, with its coldness and ugly, drab dreary, monotonous days. I hate the utter bareness of the world. It is torn and sad; dreary and lifeless, like after the passing of a great love. The day matches my mood- nothing seems worth while. The dreary coldness is an echo of the lifelesness that is sweeping its haze over me. The .mountains are cold and chapped; the soft, warm pur¬ples and oranges are covered with a thin blanket of snow—like powderew sugar. There is no relief to be found in these mountains—so majestic, aloof and cold. Everyone is gay and happy- spurred to action by the tingling brutishness of the wind; but this same wind has left me angry and irritated at its snobbishness. There is no one in a mood congenial to mine. I slowly find my way to my room, but am appalled by its lit-tleness, and the fireplace with the burnt-out embers throws no wel¬coming smile. The night finds me mean, ornery, bitter at its beauty. The moon, like a lamp—soft and mellow, can find no loophole in which to weave its mystic spell. The coldness and hardness has been lent to me by old King Winter, and the cold, twinkly light of the stars, fosters this glaze of hardness. I am hudled in a warm bed with hot water bottles and blankets heaped about me. My stomach is aching with the gallons of hot, sour lemonade that has been poured into it. I can't- even get my hands out to wipe my nose—I should have known that that terrible, ugly mood was merely the forerunner of a ter¬rific cold!! Marjorie Kelley. PHI LAMBDA TAU The Moon Maiden was lonesome, so she and her maid donned their gossamer coats and made a flying trip to Ogden and the Ogden high school. They made a quiet trip through the silent halls, stopping for a while when they heard a voice, undoubtedly Tom Broad- bent's, say: "Forum has challenged Congress—" To the Moon Maiden this was uninteresting—so they lis¬tened at another door—"It's about time Zeta Phi Xi—" The name sounded terrible, so they hurried on to Room 216 and with a sigh of relief went in and sat down. The talk was interesting to them— for the girl who was talking at the front had chosen as her subject "Clothes.” It was rather short, though. She merely said that this club was to blossom out in new uniforms soon. They then dis¬cussed dues and then, being a lit¬erary club, discussed a play, "Much Ado About Nothing." After this the meeting was ad¬journed and the Moon Maiden de¬cided her little trip had been very worth while. Of course the club was Phi Lambda Tau. Charlene Bell, Reporter. 1928 Girls! It is nearly 1928! Does that suggest anything to you? Do you know that the next year is your chance to see if you can treat the boys as well as they treat you? Be sure to go to the Holly Hop and treat the boy you are with real nicely, or else when you want a date for a coming event he may not want to go. It won't be long now—and be sure to get a date for the 20th of January. —C. G. GAMMA KAPPA Jealousy is not our aim, but re¬spect as the only organization to promote high scholastic standing in the famous halls of high school. We are serious, and thirsting after knowledge, further knowledge. We find it most interesting to learn of thing3 foreign to us. At our week¬ly meeting, Thursday afternoon, Reverend Hansen of the First Bap¬tist church quenched our thirst a little when he related to us the wonders of the mysterious and awe- inspiring Pompeii, as he saw it. So very tactfully and delicately did he touch upon it that Gamma Kap¬pa is anxious to hear more from him soon. The program also con¬sisted of a lovely violin solo by Mil¬ton Yorgensen, accompanied by Maurine McBeth. We can be gay, lively and peppy, too. This is a living fact when it comes to our business. We are plumb full of ideas and life, and, to prove it, we have a wonderful party planned for Saturday night. Every member is all excited and1 anticipates an excellent time. The club is growing, as we are making many fine additions in real students. You enthusiastic, would- be Gamma Kapians! We cordially invite you to visit our meetings on Thursdays. If you are really in¬terested, and meet our standards, we would heartily enjoy letting you in on the pleasures afforded. Lucile McFarlane, Club Report¬er. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: We girls are very much puzzled as to how we can make several boys we like, like us. We have tried every posible way to get the at¬tentions of these boys, but it seems' in vain. Waiting for an answer, H. D., L. C., F. S., L. M. My Dear Girls: Tht proposition you are under¬taking should not be so difficult. Have you tried being just friend¬ly and jolly around said boys? If not, I suggest that you do. Avoid any show of feelings. Don't above all things, ever let the fellows get the idea that you are trying to attract their attentions, because there is nothing that turns a boy's af¬fections away quicker than that. Don't try loud, boisterous actions; be natural, sociable, very much alive and attractive. Be sensible and appreciative of a fellow's feel¬ings. I wish you all kinds of success, girls, Aunt Jane. ASSEMBLY REPORT The best assembly of the year (so far) was pulled off Friday at 12:45 o’clock. The play, "Mary III" was advertised in a fitting and appropriate manner by Gene, Dan and Glen. Announcements were made to the effect that Tom Broadbent was elected Poet Laureate; and that the contest to de¬termine the O. H. S. News staff was extended until Monday. This gives everyone a chance to get a real good report written up over the week-end. Forum then put on their long- awaited "stunt" and we say here that it was all we expected (which, of course, means little or nothing). However, it was the most amus¬ing and original act, and we chal¬lenge the other clubs to beat it. After Zeta Phi Xi christened the pet crocodile, the assembly was then adjourned. —M. K.
