This warning does not nply to all the students, but, jUke the old proverb, if the cap fits, trar '.-Fay Cardon. GAME TONIGHT 11 Tonight is the night of nights for Ogden's basketball team. This game Is a decisive one. If we win we will be hettded for the state tournament, and if we lose, our : hopes will be very dim. This game t U between Weber High and Ogden High, to be played in the Weber , gymnasium on Twenty-fifth street , it eight o'clock. They defeated us , before, and thus the entire support of the school is necessary, Mr. Merrill and all the teachers included, j Bring your megaphones if you have any, and wear the colors, but above 1 ill. show the team that you are I polling with them, and that you J have plenty of pep. Be at this game I and support the team. ASSEMBLY j; On Wednesday afternoon we were J very pleasantly surprised at being allowed to hear the program that was presented for the unemployed 1 Wednesday night. The student body was loud in its praise. The hearts of the students were filled with pride at seeing the accomplishments . of the school. Mr. Hansen should be congratulated on the wonderful success he has made of the music department. CADET HOP! Attenshun! There are fcut eight days left to get your date to the Cadet hop, so don't linger, boys. It is up to you to make this dance the success of the year by bringing all of the fair sex. The night of the 19th wil1 be a very full ana entertaining one. Be¬sides the rhythmic dances, the high school band and crack company will be there. The band will play while the crack company performs on the slippery floor. There are still a few girls waiting for a date, so hurry.—B. K. FAMOUS LAST WORDS— "I'm in a mess—a very lovely mess." IMPRESSIONS : Earrings and sport shoes. Alden Brewer: A tired expression and a wide black sergeant's belt. Elaine Stevens: Dark hair; dark eyes; sun tan. O. B. Madsen: 'Nita Van Dyke.

Tryouts Conducted For Debating Team feb. 12, 1932 High School Will Hold Its Final Contests Next Week (Ogden High School Notes) Tryouts for the school debating team were held Thursday after school. Twenty participants entered. The question for debate was, "Re¬solved: That compulsory unemploy¬ment insurance should be adopted by the soverign states as public pro¬tection against the vicissitudes of the machine age." Helen Lindquist, Mary Underwood and Norine Bing¬ham, from Congress; Earl Reeve, Bill Alsup, Boyd Hopkins, Don Banks and Roland Stone, from Forum, were chosen. The final tryouts will be held next week. We are very proud of our debating clubs, Con¬gress and Forum, and the great in¬terest taken in debating in the school as a result of their efforts. "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right; stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."—Abraham Lincoln. THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT Nothing much has been said this year about the chemistry depart¬ment. The classes are of course, progressing very rapidly under the capable leadership of Mr. E. S. Smith. At mid-year they had cov¬ered the required amount of work both in the text and in the labor¬atory. The schedule for each week Is three days of class work and two days of laboratory work. Now that equations and formulas have been mastered (?) Mr. Smith is giving daily preparation tests, which are almost turning the stu¬dents' hair gray. Aside from the daily grind there is much of inter¬est to be found in this study and no one who has started this course is at all sorry.—B. K. WE DISCUSSED The membership of Congress was very much moved last Monday night, in fact, the whole hour was spent in moving this, that, or the other. In other words, the club in¬dulged in a strictly business meet-ing, thanks to the indifference of all present to the somewhat prom¬inent weather catastrophe — rain, rain, and then what? More rain! All the motions passed hung on the hooks for the state debating team and for Congress' pet hobby, the de¬bating contest among the feminine orators of the four junior high schools. Forum also followed our splendid example, returning our visit in a far from social manner. Busi¬ness first, you know—and then ad¬journment!—Helen Lindquist. THE O. H. S. SPECTATOR A new issue of The Spectator is now reposing in the library. It has pictures in it, too. Not good pic¬tures of course, but at least they are appropriate. There is another biography in it; these fiends don't hold anything sacred. Mr. Hansen is the victim this time, and his life story is told down to the last detail. Dell Tower has written an article on "Crooners and Singers" which, while it doesn't meet with my ap¬proval, (and what does?) may in¬terest you. But the star piece of work comes from a newcomer to I The Spectator, Roy Critchlow, and! is a treatise on the grading system. He has quoted several of the teachers, and you should read it just to see what Dave (good ole Dave) said. Remember it is in the library; just ask Mrs. Raymond for it.—B. T. SILENT MOMENTS You could have heard a pin drop when: It was announced that little Ed¬gar was dead. Mr. Merrill made his announce¬ment about a dance. The teacher asked how many brought clothes for the poor. Ma' Lou' Dobbs slid on the stairs just after they had been oiled. Someone asked a sponsor to sew a button on a shirt. Edgar HI says: The way to get rid of a sponsor, who is trying to sell you a ticket to the "Hop," is to tell her you are in the crack company and want a 50-cent rate.

ABOUT FAMOUS PEOPLE Were you aware that Washing¬ton's mother was very much op¬posed to Washington's participating in the war? She wanted him to stay home and manage the planta¬tion. Did you know that Puss Farn's hands are his pride and joy. Try measuring with him. DIARY OF A DAMSEL Grateful Tuesday. After lending myself mentally and physically, if not spiritually, to many "Sunday special" sermons on "Counting Our Blessings," I finally have reached the conclusion that there might be some truth in the Pollyanna idea. Several days of sunshiny investigation, coupled with incredible good humor, have brought to light many dusty remnants of ex- blessings, neatly packed away with cobwebby promises of future morsels of good fortune. No preacher, how¬ever, first revealed to me the con¬soling fact that, happy as infancy may appear, the addition of years means merely the addition of things for which to be thankful. Now, as I realize my word means less to my readers (Have I any?) than—well, let me say the pencil that records it—I present before your critical eyes, in the infallible black and white evidence of my aforesaid assertion. As an insignificant Junior, I faded in tooblivion at the approach of a high and mighty senior. I also served in the role of junior martyr No. 876,591. My prosecutors all vanished with last year's graduation exercises. I now sit upon one of the many abdicated thrones and in¬flict the Customary vengeance upon awed and trembling specimens of lower classmen. , At this rate, I hope to live to be as old as the famed Methuselah!— Susie Seventeen.
