Have you heard about the class pin controversy, or the matinee dance for this day, and a spe¬cial event for that? In short, are you represented in council and informed for your represen¬tation, or are you merely repre¬sented? Is your council member de¬pendable, interested in council, and active in his work — or merely a temporary officer, to be succeeded soon for failure to perform his duties? There are sixty days remain¬ing for our school year. Big things, great things, important things, planned or unplanned, are being considered and are sure to come. It would be of inter¬est—and it would pay — to know of the decisions, affairs, and events that are going to touch you so closely. —Editor Initiative The world bestows much of its great rewards in honor and money to those who have initia¬tive. Initiative is doing something without being told. Next to doing something with¬out being told, however, is do¬ing it when told only once. Those who carry a "Message to Gar¬cia" get high honors, even though their pay cannot always equal that honor. Then, there are those who do the right thing only when they get a "good kick in the pants." These get indif¬ference, instead of honors, and meager allowance for pay. These people are probably "apple pol-ishers." Still lower on the ladder of life, there are those fellows who, through either lack of knowl¬edge or lack of perserverence will not do the right thing even when some soul shows them how to do a thing and stays to see that they accomplish that task. They are always out of work, content to live an uncertain life. In this case, just around the corner our unrelenting friend, Destiny, waits with Mr. Failure. Which is your classification? Ogden High School Holds Annual Frolic Setting another "first" in the annals of the high school history, Ogden high this year inaugurat¬ed a winter snow carnival, stag¬ed on Washington's birthday. Planned and executed by coun¬cil and student body officers, and ably and generously assist¬ed by members of the faculty and the Ogden city school board, the carnival brought a bit of mirth and color to the dreary "before spring" days, always present in the routine of school life. Students and faculty were brought together in a few hours of good natured fun, forgetting lessons, school, and teaching, in an effort to make the days just a little more interesting. In every way, the snow festival was a great success. With sun¬burned faces, stiff limbs, and skinned knees and noses, the at¬mosphere of the vigorous outing prevailed for many days. Og¬den high responded whole-heart¬edly to this new social and help¬ed make the year of '39 an out¬standing one in O. H. S. events. To student council, to faculty members, and to Ogden's peppy students, we give our congra¬tulations for the success of this new undertaking. Here's to more fun, more snow and more winter carnivals. —Associate Editor Doin' Anything Wednesday? Are you doing anything Wed¬nesday after school? No? Then why not attend the matinee dances? If you'll come and co¬operate, you'll really have a lot of fun. Each week a different school club or organization sponsors the matinee dance. Various ideas are planned and carried out, so everyone has a good time. Why not show your interest, boys, and keep the girls dancing on the floor instead of standing in the balcony? Then too, girls, why not make it easy for the fellows to ask you to dance by coming down on the gym floor? Due to the cooperation of Ger- Ogden Students Take Contest Sweepstakes By BETTIE BREWER Ogden high school emerged as undisputed sweepstake win¬ners in the sixth annual high school speech contest at Weber college, March 3 and 4.

Gracefully stopoing in a spot of light, dancing a light ballet, alluring Sophie Reed danced her way into the heart of Ogden high. March 3. In a double piano duet, Vern Rassmusen and Floyd Seager captured the mu¬sic mood of Ogden students. * * * March 9. No school will be held on March 11, it was report¬ed by the administration office. It seems that the cafeteria must be closed on that date. aid Waterfall and James Allen, the music is taken care of effi¬ciently. Some of the latest hit tunes are played weekly by re¬quest. To add special interest to the weekly socials, various or¬chestras, composed of students and young musicians, have been playing the dance rythms. We are all looking forward to better dances and pleasant Wed¬nesday afternoons filled with good entertainment. —Emma Martin Hall of Fame Quiet but sure, slow yet quick, "Hump" is a plunger. Rather short and stocky, standing about five feet four, with smooth hair and tranquil but piercing eyes. Blaine Hulmston has a force in him that is deadly. On the grid¬iron, diminutive among the war¬riors tall, Blaine is a threat who rips the line. His quick, short steps and his plunging force shatter the resisting block. Bud hits. Beneath the glaring lamps, in a roped-in square, with the pa¬tience of a carnivor, Blaine stands, half-crouched; his gloves just so, his lithe muscles rip¬pling smoothly under his un¬broken skin. Suddenly cat-like, his left is out, he springs for¬ward, pounces, and closes in, shoots his right, battles with the fury of a wounded cat, and con¬quers in seconds his prey. Bud smashes; he's a polished boxer. But for his dreaded power on the field, his force in the ring, his accuracy on the green, his ability on the floor, and his dead- liness on the diamond, Bud is a quiet fellow, an unaffected ath¬lete. He speaks rather slowly, smiles occasionally, and walks with a slight wobble. He's square; he's a good fellow. So What? Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly; If we don't they say we are too serious. If we clip from other papers, we are too lazy to write it down ourselves; If we don't we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, we ought to be hunting up news; If we do get out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate true genius; If we do, the paper is filled with junk. If we make a change in a fel¬low's write-up, we are too criti¬cal; If we don't we are asleep. Now like as not someone will say we swiped this from some other paper—WE DID. —Student Life, Logan, Utah Club Studies Charm The Sub-Deb club is planning many interesting meetings with guest speakers who will discuss various phases of charm. Brittan will discuss how to buy proper clothes, and Merle Allen, make¬up artist, will talk on the use of make-up and demonstrate the manner in which it should be applied effectively. New members of Sub-Deb are Ada Nash, Lorene Donaldson, Barbara Harbertson, Vera Sor- enson, Jean Cardon, Ruth Bow- en, Annie May Rampton, Faye Wheelwright. Marcene Manning, and Lorna Vause. |
