was carried. The president ap¬pointed Kent Bramwell, Wayne Fisher and Iris Smith. On motion of Mr. Larson, council then adjourned. —Dorothy Foulger, Secy. March 26, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 G. A. PRESENTS PLAYS On Friday night in the Central gymnasium, students and friends of the school will have an opportunity to see a series of one-act plays pre¬sented under the direction of the dramatic art department of the school, sponsored by the Girls' association. Three plays will be presented on that evening at 7:30 o'clock. The first will be "Dwellers in the Darkness," a well worked out mystery with a plot that holds one in suspense until the last; the second: "Grandma Pulls the Strings," a comedy of the highest class—wt recommend that all girls take pains to see this, since it's leap year; and the third, "Pearls," a delightful piece of work—half tragedy and half comedy. All of them are ready for production, and those at¬tending are assured a good time. Tickets may be obtained from the girls acting as secretaries in the various classes or from Mrs. Ir¬win. The proceeds from these plays will go into the Girls' association fund to buy a picture for the school. All students are urged to assist in the work and to spend a real eve¬ning of enjoyment. STELLAE REPORT Stellae held a very successful meeting Thursday at the home of Oliver Ames. We always have a good time, but this meeting was the climax of fondest desires. Per¬haps it was due to the business of I the evening, which was discussed I with much vim, or perhaps it was due to the splendor of the evening, or perhaps it was due to the fact that everyone was on time. It may have been a number of things, any¬way it was a good meeting. After the business of the evening was finished, instead of the usual ice cream and cake, Don and Tom surprised us with a huge plate of sauerkraut and wieners, with rye bread, cheese and coffee to match. The entire meeting seemed different and when "Ed Smith" ar¬rived to enjoy a dish of the fra¬grant German delicacy, the party I was complete. We hope that all of I our meetings will be as successful as this one, and we are sure that they will be because we are united I and going with a bang. ORATORICAL TESTS On Thursday after school, in Miss Irvine's room, tryouts for the national oratorical contest were 'held. The judges were, Miss Keener, Mrs. Chambers, Miss Hub¬bard, Mr. Robbins, Mr. Hyde and Mrs. Newcomb. Contestants were Gene Kimball, Jeanette Rosenburg, Margaret Schmalz and Grant Syphers. Grant again showed his ability by gaining a unanimous decision. On Friday he will represent Ogden against Sacred Heart academy, Box Elder high, Garland high, Hyrum high, Weber high, Logan high, Lo¬gan academy and Davis high. The winner of that contest will compete in the state contest to be held at a later date. Here's wishing Grant all the luck in the world. GIRLS TO PLAY TENNIS At last the girls have awakened to the possibility of a tennis tournament. There have been 32 entries in the singles. We think this is a good representation of the weaker sex. At least the boys are not the only ones that have enough « pep to play tennis. Much interest has been shown by the girls in the pairings on the bulletin board. Some sigh, some giggle, and others groan. Bift in spite of moanings and groanings, the tournament goes on. Good luck to you, girls, and may the best one win.—C GAMMA KAPPA CONTEST In Friday's assembly Willie Larsen, in behalf of the Gamma Kappa honor fraternity, presented the Misses Blanch Reed, Ruth Zuppann and Kathryn Blake with prizes for winning first, second and third places respectively in the con¬test for the best short stories spon¬sored by that club. The student body compliments Gamma Kappa on this undertak¬ing, and hopes that this will not end the activities of the club in a literary field. We also compliment these young women on the splendid work they have done. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Could you please give me some information concerning the banquet held by Forum every year? I un¬derstand that these affairs are "wonderful" and I am curious as to whether waiting list members are invited. Thanking you in ad¬vance, I remain, Yours truly, Hopeful. Dear Hopeful: Yes, waiting list members are in¬vited to the Forum banquet. They, like the alumni members, are charged only the price of their plates, while the Forum members pay the rest of the expenses. The spirit of the banquet is quite won¬derful—so I understand from a guest of last year—and I hope that you will be able to attend. I believe some Forum member could give you more information concerning this event. Aunt Jane. KNOW THYSELF Tell me not of a man's strength or of the strength of his opponents. Tell we of their weaknesses and I will predict the winner in any con¬test between them. Other people do not defeat us in the race of life. We defeat ourselves with our minor weaknesses. We are chained to certain things which we drag after us through life. Our progress »'is impeded, we walk haltingly and lame, we pull steadly upstream, be¬cause of that dead thing chained to us, some corpse we have killed in a careless moment. A weakness for the wine when it it whisky-colored, an ear turned to the rustle of unholy feminine garments, an ill-smelling pipe, a mouth given to profanity, a trick of sarcasm, a failure to give praise and appreciation when deserved, a dominating complex or what have you; all corpses chained to those who slay—chained to us for life, making us unpopular. For the most prominent position near the entrance of a great fra¬ternal building, a motto was need¬ed to fill a space. The old man who headed the organization thought long and earnestly for an appropriate one. Finally, he wrote, "Know Thyself," as the most im-portant command he could put be¬fore the organization. —Joe Fulkerson. March 27, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 THE MIKADO Very seldom do we see such a ' notable person as the Mikado. Very seldom do we see such a notable opera as "The Mikado." Very sel¬dom do we see such a notable cast as has been chosen for "The Mi¬kado." In fact, everything is very notable, promising, invigorating, wonderful, and very "Chinese." The particulars of the opera will be announced at a later date, but until then rest assured that a real treat is in store for the lovers of music and drama in Ogden. Every¬thing points to the most successful production yet completed at the O. H. S. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: How are you? I am fine. I don t think the crops will bee sow good this yeer on akownt of it not raning enuff. Now, deer ant Jane, i got a very delikut kweshtun to ast yuh. Yuh no its cUmming spring and i'JI be jiggered ef i ain't gone and fell in luv. Honust now, can yuh beet it? And so, I've cum to ast yuh to pleeze tell me how to fall out of luv. I will be much oblijed to yuh. Hoping you are the same. ME. p. s.—i wood allso like too no how to rite potry. Dear Me: As to the state of the crops I hope that they are better this year. In answer to your question, I be¬lieve that I should stay in love if I were you, and if you really want to fall out, perhaps the passing of spring will take care of that. I find that the best way to write poetry is to first of all get an in¬spiration—you evidently have that —then use your imagination, and if you really want to write poetry, stay in love or near the verge of it. That makes inspiration easier. AUNT JANE. SPRING FOOTBALL Coach Kapple has sounded the official call for spring football, and about 30 athletes have answered his summons. With the return of nine experienced men from this year's squad and the addition of some junior high "stars" the pros¬pects look bright for the Tigers To be or not to be; that is the question. With such wonderful prospects for a team next fall we are hopeful that they will have some place to show their skill and strength. We are glad that some definite steps have been taken to gain the stadium and offer the sup¬port of the Ogden High school. ZETA PHI XI The memory of another delight¬ful Zeta Phi Xi home-meeting has gone to live in Time's store house. Fern Parry was the hostess, and we'll all admit, she knows how. A short business meeting was held for the discussion of a very feminine topic, clothes. Just watch, Zeta Phi Xi is due to blossom out in its spring uniform very soon. And the party, it is to be the very best one ever; it don't be long. After the meeting there were ! things to eat and plenty of con¬versation to while away the time. Kathryn Blake, Reporter. It is doubtful which is the most admirable quality, a superiority or an inferiority complex. Like everything and everybody, both have their good points and also their bad. If you are possessed with a su¬periority complex, you are more than like optimistic and have an over supply of self-confidence. Your egotism is not liked by your associates, but you are more cap¬able of obtaining what you consider the best in life because of the con-fidence you have in yourself. On the other hand, if you are the victim of an inferiority complex you are pessimistic and are an ob¬ject of f,te. You admire the quali¬ties of your friends and try to ac¬quire them, but you have not the confidence to assert yourself be¬cause you are always enumerating your shortcomings, and underesti¬mating your capabilities. Every day we rub elbows with various types of fellow students, i and although we are much alike, we strive for individuality, and while we desire to be unique, we' also enjoy the association and fellowship of other classmates. —Lyzena Payne. ONE-ACT PLAYS As has been announced before the Girls' association is sponsoring a group of one-act plays to be pre¬sented on Friday, March 30, in the Central Junior High auditorium, We .would like to Have all of the student body present, as this is a very delightful program, full of variety and charm. There will be three or four presented, showing the different types of plays, and; from all appearances now, they will be tremendously interesting. Don't forget, next Friday, in Cen¬tral Junior. Just another little word to re¬mind you that one of the most beautiful operas ever given by Og¬den High school's music depart¬ment is going to be presented rightsoon. In fact you can set aside one day in the middle of April, say the 18th, as the day on which you are to see this most famous op¬era, "The Mikado," presented by the O. H. S. music students. Be¬sides being beautiful, it is whimsi¬cal, humorous, and quite adorable. You musn't miss it for anything! ONE-ACT PLAYS "Grandma Pulls the String,"* with the following cast: Vella Fowler, Blaine Corry, Frances Purrington, Elsie Wheelwright, Nora Sorenson and Marjorie Kelley "Dwellers in the Darkness," with the following cast: Blaine Corry Walton Foulger, Gene Kimball, Lee Cain, Florence Stevens and Charles Dunn; "Pearls," with the following cast: Marion Hussey, Tillman Johnson, Betty Seaton. and Clif¬ton Lund, and "The Robbery," with the following cast: Tom Broad- bent, Dorothy Robinson, Nora Sor¬enson, and Oliver Ames, comprise the group of one-act plays to be given by the dramatic art.class, un¬der the supervision of the Girls' association, in Central Junior au¬ditorium next Friday, March 30, at 8:15 o'clock. It is hoped that a goodly crowd of the student body will be there to witness the initial offerings ol the dramatic art class. The plays are clever and modern, and while some offer mystery, there is pres¬ent the comedy element and hu¬man sympathy.in the others. They promise to be highly entertaining. So, be there! —M. K. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I want to know what you think of girls who make it a practice to be hypocritical. I know a girl who is always a perfect friend to me while she is with me, but the minute I am gone she talks about me. It would not be so bad if the things she said were true. -Wondering. Dear Wondering Before I answer your question I want to thank you for your inter¬est, in writing. Your letter com¬prises the second outside letter this department has received, and we are quite proud of it. I would like to say that when a girl makes it a practice to be hypo¬critical she is only hurting herself in the long run. Perhaps persons will listen to her raving for awhile about a girl whom she has called "friend," but they will know her'in due time and she will be minus the friends she so openly derided, the friends that she didn't care enough to keep. Being a hypocrite is a terribly dubious position; soon one gets to fooling and bejng untrue to oneself if he practices it on others. If you are aware of what she is doing, I would legye her alone. Do not talk about her. Be rather scornful of her. After all, if you want my personal opinion, there is nothing more to be shunned than a hypocrite. She will destroy her¬self. I hope you will come again. —Aunt Jane. H. C. REPORT More interesting meetings in H. C.! Mrs. Frank told us about old Heidelberg, Amsterdam and Italy. She gave us the privilege of seeing baskets, shawls and mosaic wo,rk made in Italy; and we gazed on snapshots taken in Europe. Thanks, Mrs. Franke. You have inspired us all to save our money so we can go there, too. H. C. extends its heartiest con¬gratulations to everybody connect¬ed with the Classicalia. It was great, and the committees deserve the highest praise. Also the clubs on their clever signs. Stellae's was appropriate and beautiful: Gamma. Kappa's very worthy; Joie Francaise's. characteristic and extreme¬ly "Frenchie"; Carpe Diem's and I-Wanna-No's very clever and ef¬fective; Phi Ora Tau's and Zeta Phi Zi's brilliant and striking. I've just about exhausted my store of adjec¬tives, but at lagt and by no means least, .H. C.—they held their part up pretty well. The sign was pret¬ty and appropriate and the sign committee has our thanks and praise as well as congratulations. —H. C. CONGRESS A new Junior member was se¬lected Monday to join the sen¬ators. Why did we need to? Owing to the absence of one of our junior members for the remainder of the term, a girl was selected to fill the vacancy. An election was held. After a close vote Ruth Falck won by one vote. Horray! One more junior member to carry on next year. Congressional patriotism was re¬vealed when three members vol¬unteered to debate when the de¬bates scheduled were over. How those banquet plans are progressing! Congress will have a regular senatorial banquet.—Mar¬garet Schmalz. TENNIS TOURNAMENT Despite this fickle weather, the tennis tournament has hearty champions; playing with all their might for the Eccles cup. Of course, the tournament has been delayed for three or four days by this fun¬ny weather, but everyone partici¬pating is still as enthusiastic as when it all started. Have you been keeping an eye on the schedule on the bulletin board? It's mighty in¬teresting to watch the boys and girls being slowly weeded out. There's a lot of competition, but may the best player win!—-M. K. JUNIOR HIGH DEBATES The first lap of the Junior High Debating league was completed Monday. Central emerged high of the first heat with two victories. South and Lewis each scored one defeat and one victory, while North was less fortunate, winning no de¬bates. All of the debates were well worked out and worth listening to. The youthful debaters showed un¬usual ability in this difficult art, and we are assured of a fine crop of orators and debaters when they reach high school. Today Central's affirmative team traveled to South; South's affirm¬ative to Central; North's affirm¬ative team to Lewis; and Lewis' affirmative to North. The sched¬ule will be completed some time Friday, unless a tie results. No school so far is sure of winning the league title. Regardless of the out¬come all of the debaters ar& to be congratulated.—T. B. FORUM Forum held its usual snappy meeting Monday night, and among other things decided that the U. S. should and should not enter the league of nations. By that I mean the debate was a tie. I would like to quote one of Mr. Hopkins' interesting metaphors. During the. course of his debate we were informed that the league of nations is a "smear upon the pages of time." Everyone is working hard on the Forum banquet and now, at last, the triangle debates are under way. With this news you may be sure (that you will hear from us again HAM AND REPORT Regular Ham And meeting was held last Thursday. Mr. Schatz made a motion that two stages of audio-frequency amplification be used in connection with the short¬wave received. The motion was lost, and it was decided that one stage be used until more money" was obtained. Ham And has received its radio license, and John McCrumm is the official operator. From now on you will know Ham And as 6 DXM. The latter part of the meeting was spent in code practice for those who are still unfamiliar with it, and the construction of the short¬wave set was completed by the other members. On first trial a ham in Massachusetts was heard. Next WGY, the short-wave micro¬phone station in Schenectady, was enjoyed. After listening to several other "birdies" (amateurs on low wave bands), the meeting was ad¬journed.—Jack Norbeck.
