JUNIOR CLASS MEETING Meeting was called to order last Thursday by President Aadneson. 1 Minutes were called for but due to E the fact that the secretary did not ? fully understand his present posi- 1 tlon he had taken'no minutes on the I previous meeting.

After a lengthy discussion the motion was seconded and passed, j Mr. Aadneson then took the chair s and appointed a committee compos¬ed of Mr. Bramwell as chairman, Miss Stone, Miss Dobbs, Mr. Manning and Mr. Martin to look into the matter.

This was the annual fight for city ! champs and for the little brown 2 $Bg. The night before the game the Ogdenites had a big bonfire. This was scheduled to start in back of the school, but due to "technical diffi¬culties," the entire stack of boxes had to be moved to tlie park az Monroe and Twenty-ninth street. There was a great deal of pep and enthusiasm shown, and the fire was a great success. Perhaps due to this display of pep the team was encour¬aged and bound to win, but anyhow the team showed up greatly and sav¬ed the day for us. We are still the city champs and the little brown jug is still in our possession. GIRLS' ASSEMBLY This morning the second assem¬bly of the Girls' association was held. The program was in charge of the vocational department. Elpha Morse, chairman, announced the program, which was the following: Elaine Evans, piano selections; Fae Seager, cornet solo; Eleanor McFar. land, a vocal solo; Miss Olga Carl¬son, the national director of the girl scouts, talked abotit scouting and its interest for girls, both as partici¬pants and leaders. Miss Carlson was formerly supervisor of physical education in Ogden schools, and was quite at home in our gym. PRETZEL McFOOLISH, JR. The last time we saw Pretzel he had just been ordered to saddle the farmer's horse. Now go on with the story. Pretzel was stunned. What could this mean? Again came the harsh command. Obediently Pretzel did !as he was told, too flagergasted to say anything. When the farmer had gone Pretzel's first thought was of Mandy. If he ran away what would become of Mandy. The .thought of Mandy I with her blue eyes and blonde love¬liness made his heart jump to his throat. Then came an idea and tearing madly up to the house Pret¬zel exponded to Mandy: "I could stay with Aunt Gerti un¬til I found a job," said Mandy. "Then when I find father I'll come back, and if you'll have me, Mandy—" "I'll see you tonight at midnight. Now go so we will not be found out." They parted. Will everything come out O. K.? See tomorrow's issue. N ov. 4, 1931 O.H.S. news Elpha Morse, Editor; Virginia Hunter, Bob Hetzel, Associates, "Checkered careers often end in : striped suits." PRETZEL McFOOLISH, JR. Promptly ai midnight Pretzel threw a handful of pebbles at Manday's window. Silently Mandy slid down the rain drain into Pretzel's arms. Together they fell to the ground. They picked each other up -and ran down the road, j Finally, puffing and panting, they slowed down. They walked hand in 'hand into the breaking day. On to Aunt Gertie's. ' "WE 13" "We 13" took off to a flying start Thursday by honoring two of its members with a little assignment for the next meeting. Yes, we study, and we study aviation. Perhaps you have been wondering who the lucky juniors are. If you have been troubling yourself over' this question, kindly watch this space next week, and you will find a complete list of said juniors. S'long until next week. This is the good ship "We 13" taking the air.— Curtis Bybee. CONGRESS When a junior enters high school he is confronted by a conglomera¬tion of Greek letter and non-Greek letter clubs about which he knows nothing. So we will take the initial step in the enlightenment of the junior by informing him, or more appropriately her, of the purposes and ideals of Congress. - First of all, Congress is not a so¬cial club. Its sole and express pur¬pose is to promote interest in de¬bating and public speaking. It was: organized in 1927 by a group of girlsj who were vitally interesting in for-ensic art, and since then the club has always upheld the ideals of its first members and raised the stand¬ard, we hope, of ability. The programs of the meetings usually consist of debates, reports on current events, and other types of speaking, all of which teach one how to "stand up, speak up, and shut up." Toward the close of the year is held the annual Hendricks' debate with Forum, the boys' debating club. To those interested in debating, this annual clash offers as much in thrills and hopes and fears as thei interscholastic athletic games. Admission into Congress is based on merit alone. Any junior who has an interest in debating is always welcome. Regular meeting was held Monday evening. Reports on current events were given by Virginia Hunter, Alice Dunn, Mary Haynie, Edna Williams md Kiyoko Oda. The subjects for report ranged from penny taxes to governorships for the unemployed. A discussion followed, in which it was decided that the aim of Con¬gress should be to .debate without ;he use of a single note. Congress then adjourned.—Kiyoko Oda, Sec¬retary. MOTHERS' TEA Work on the mothers' tea is pro¬gressing rapidly, for every member )f the Girls' association wishes to ! nake this year's entertainment for ;he mothers exceptionally enjoya¬ble. The invitations for the tea lave been issued today, and we hope hat each student will see that-his. mother receives one. In case a mother fails to receive an invitation, we hope she will read this one and accept it. The Girls' association requests your presence at the mothers' tea Friday afternoon, November 6, at 2 o'clock. INTER NOS Inter Nos was called to order Monday, November 2, by Imperator Rushmer. As our former scriba, George Loff, had withdrawn, the minutes were approved as read by Mary Haynie, scriba pro tem. Mary Haynie was elected scriba. The fol¬lowing interesting reports and dis¬cussions were given: "What I Saw in Rome" by Robert Rushmer, "Ro¬man Streets and Street Life" by Rowland Stone, "Myth of Jasan and Medea" by Margaret Stratten, 'Mithridates and Lucius Luculles" by John Evans, and "Character of Pompey or Pomeius" by Ferne Bill¬ings. A vote of thanks was given the committee in charge and those who took part on the program. As no further business was brought up, the meeting was adjourned.—Mary Haynie, Scriba. STELLAE Although I try hard enough to keep us out of print, I don't seem to be very successful. Some one al-ways reminds me not to forget the report. So tins really isn't my fault. Yes, we have put in pledges too. They are na-e ireiner, Jerry Fitz¬gerald, Joe Fowler and Bert Black. We are very proud of our pledges and glad to have them in Stellae. We hope that they like us as well as we like them. Speaking of good pledges, they gave us a party last Friday, and was it a party. We were given win¬dow curtains and dish cloths for napkins, pie plates for dishes, inch and a half thick cups for glasses, and last, but far from least, we had rubber dish wipers, wooden spoons, measuring spoons, pan cake flippers, etc., for eating utensils. Now I want to show you how gen-1 erous we membres are by a quota¬tion from the minutes. "It was moved and seconded that the pledges give us a party. It was moved and second that it be a house party. The motions were carried. It was moved and seconded that we invite the pledges to the party." And with that, we'll shut up for a while.—Marie Louise Dobbs, Re¬porter. ART EXHIBIT An art exhibit, sponsored by Beta Zeta Tau, will be one of the fea¬tures of the mothers' tea to be held Friday, November 6. The paintings are the work of Le Conte Stewart, one of the foremost artists of this section of the country. A cordial invitation is extended to all those interested in these ex¬quisite paintings. We are sure they will be enjoyed. Dear Aunt Jane: It it too late to bring-our de¬posits for the senior rings and pins in order to receive them before Christmas?—T. A. H., E. M. C. Dear T. A. H., E. M. C.: Too bad, but it is too late to order your rings and pins for Christmas. The next order will be at Christmas time.—Aunt Jane. FAMOUS LAST WORDS There are 54 days until Christmas. THANKS, U. I. C. The high school expresses its sin¬cere appreciation of the more than generous treatment accorded us on the U. I. C. railway excursion to Brigham City. It is a great pleas¬ure to deal with people who are so considerate, so generous. Thanks, gentlemen. Nov. 5, 1931 O.H.S. news Elpha Morse, Editor; Virginia Hinter, Bob Hetzel, Associates. COUNCIL Regular Council meeting was call¬ed to order by President Stone. The roll was called; the minutes were read and approved. Alice Barker reported for the so¬cial committee. By a motion the report was accepted. It was moved and seconded that all students be admitted to the Thanksgiving dance on their student body cards. The motion was passed. Clubs granted parties were: Zeta Phi Xi, November 7; Gregg Artists, November 9, and Carpe Diem, No-vember 6. By a motion, Mr. Aadneson's re¬port for the color committee was ac¬cepted. Mr. Lutzker's pep committee re¬port was accepted by a motion. It was moved and seconded that Mr. Henderson be repaid three dol¬lars and fifty cents for money he spent the night of the pep rally. The motion was passed. Following President Stone's sug¬gestion that we send letters of thanks to the Utah Idaho Central railroad and the city commission, Council adjourned. EARL REEVE, Secretary. AN OPEN LETTER An open letter to the editor of the High School Notes: Dear Madam: In the two years that I have been a faithful follower of the High School Notes it seemed to me that the outstanding thing about them was the fact that they were full of punch, pep, personality, original¬ity, good humor, and small talk. So far this year the notes have been lacking in these things. Re¬cently the notes have consisted al¬most entirely of club reports, and, while club reports are ncessary, they interest only those who are in the clubs. Please sprad them out. If you are lacking in material, any English teacher in the building takes home enough material each day to fill your column for a week. If necessary, select a staff of say ten who write well and who enjoy writ¬ing, and let them turn their spare moments to gathering and writing material. Let's have some more work from Charles Wood, Ken Boyle, Arleen Sessions, and so on. If the juniors are to take over the work next year, let's hear from them. Pretzel McFoolish had the idea, but I think even that could be im¬proved by changing names and places to agree with places and things familiar to the entire school. Your thought gems and chatter and chaff are fine. Let's have more of them. Believing an unsigned letter is not worth reading, I boldly sign. Yours respectfully, BILL THOMPSON. ANSWER WRITTEN Dear Mr. Thompson: In reply to your letter I wish to ?:ay we sincerely appreciate your criticism of the notes. As you know this column is for the benefit and enjoyment of the students of O. H. S., and for everyone interested in O. H. S., consequently, the articles that go into the notes are carefully censored and must be carefully written to avoid external criticism. Ogden high school is judged by the general public by their daily column in The Standard-Examiner. This column is given to us for news. The Standard-Examiner is a newspaper and news it must contain. Club reports are important. The activity of clubs is judged by the articles in the notes. You must also realize the number of active clubs in O. H. S. If we use any club re¬ports we must use all of them. Any suggestions you have are wel¬come. We would appreciate it very much, Mr. Thompson, if you would hand in a replica of your desired notes. Admiring you for your frankness, and thanking you for your coopera¬tion, I remain, Sincerely yours, ELPHA MORSE. GIRLS' ASSEMBLY Miss Olga Carlson, who addressed the girls' assembly Tuesday morning is regional director of the girl scouts and was formerly the athletic supervisor of the Ogden city schools. Her talk was therefore interesting not only for itself, but also because that she was well known to many of the students.
