O.H.S. Classes Will Exchange Letters Feb. 18, 1932 Local Pupils Intend To Correspond With Youths Overseas (Ogden High School Notes) If, in a few days, you happen to notice a number of French students $ with puzzled looks upon their faces, ' I don't be alarmed; it is a letter v [ which they have just received. Tlie French classes of Ogden High school r have sent to the National Bureau of Education Correspondence for , I French correspondence and expect ! answers in the near future. With I the application for a correspondent ! the applicant tells his or her age and interests. The list of French boys and girls is compared with that of the English speaking students and suitable correspondents e ere picked, according to age, inter- r ests and other personal items. We I think this will make the study of t: French more interesting, as well as s; help us master the language itself, li -Jeannette Johnson.' k d IN NEED OF MEN The world today is looking for f men who &re not for sale; men who ? are honest, sound from center to circumference, true to the heart's core; men with conscience as steady as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reels; men g who can tell the truth and look the v world right in the eye; men who neither brag nor run; men who nei- c ;her flag nor flinch; men who will f not lie, shirk, or dodge; men in whom the courage of everlasting life i rjns still, deep and strong; men! ho know their message and tell c It; men who know their place and t fill it; men who know their business s and attend to it; men who are not r too lazy to work nor too stupid to! t be poor. CONTEST FRIDAY On Friday night at seven-thirty Ogden High has a basketball game i with Box Elder High, to be held in i Brigham City. Ogden's student body I will be under a handicap, since the cadet hop is the same night. How- s ever, everyone that can possibly go 1 should support the team and show I them that all are back of them. The team is in very good condition and 1 should be able to play a very good game, even if the student body can't support them as much as they would 1 like. Let's win this game! PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON Undoubtedly you have noticed the 1 colored reproductions of the por-trait of George Washington that are appearing on every classroom Wall. 1 We should consider ourselves very fortunate in being able to examine j at first hand even a copy of the 1 famous portrait by Stuart. This picture was sold to the Washington association of Boston by Stuart's widow for $1,500. These reproductions were pre¬sented to us by Rep. Don. B. Colton, and we wish to extend our thanks to him. If by any chance you have missed seeing the portrait, make every effort to do so. We as¬sure you it is well worth your at- etntion. A large number of the :lassrooms have had these pictures artistically framed. A CONGRESS BRIEF 1-Congress convened at seven- thirty last Monday evening, (a) What is there singular about that? ' (b) I'll give up if you do; let's go mother lap on the road of all club reporters. 2— Business matters wrinkled fem¬inine brows, (a) Oh, come now, Helen, is that how spring fever af- tects your literary endeavors? (b) I knew you'd get the knack sooner or later; that is better. Congress discussed the junior h igh debates and a fund for debat¬ing pamphlets. The order of the day was a de¬bate on socialism, with Kiyoka Oda representing the affirmative and Alice Dunn the negative, (a) Doesn't the above statement seem Vaguely connected in your minds with a page j from any secretary's journal? (b) Then, to add further insult to in¬jury, no decision was given! Congress planned its calendar for two or three weeks, (a) You are probably about to skip the rest of j this report from here down, so I'll show my mercy. The usual grand finale occur¬red. (a) Soon only the blackboards, desks, etc., were left to wonder why the school Was so quiet, (b) You guessed it—Congress adjourned! —Helen Lindquist, reporter. STRANGE MALADY What is this strange disease that spreads through the entire school, endangering the lives of all the in-nocent students that encounter it? It is most insidious at this time of the year, from now until May. The symptoms are fatigue, sleepiness, lack of appetite, and inability to keep up school work. This is a very dangerous disease, for which there is practically no cure. It isn't hay fever—there's no sneezing; it isn't 'a cold—there's no coughing. What is it? Spring fever?—Fay Cardon. CADETS, ATTENTION Twenty years ago: "The Ogden High school battalion of cadets will give a military ball Friday night 'at which Governor William Spry and his staff will be in attendance. The cadets are preparing the program for the occasion." THUMBNAIL SKETCHES? Dale Mopy Roscoe Algernon An¬derson is captain of the basketball team, and he thinks chop sticks are something to e'at noodles with, when, really, you and I know that it is a tune people plaV on a piano . He is seen most often with MaLou Dobbs, who rates a sketch herself when I get through with the important people. One of his claims to fame is that he never tried to write poet¬ry, although he does sing a little. He wants to be a used car sales¬man, and don't ask me why. If you see 'a tall fellow who looks like Joe Fowler, but isn't, talking to a small but pretty girl down around locker 430, .you'll know it's Dale and MaLou.—B. T, Edgar III Winchel-izing: Bob Rushmer, one of the school's better humorists (he doesn't deserve that) is Gilbert-Garboing with Dora Bundy, who has & reputation for being a heartbreaker herself. Edgar says: The fact that the notebox had no back to it has beesf: known for some time to student!' who write for the notes but tha: it had no front on it is a comjli'J paratively recent discovery. Oratorical Field Narrowed To Four Feb. 19, 1932 Ogden High School Boys Await Final Contest Feb. 26 Ogden High School Notes In the tryouts for the Sons of g American Revolution oratorical con- r test held Tuesday. Maurice Abbott, c Walter Hoyt, Dell Tower and Raymond Holmes were the winners, t These four students will compete in j the final contest to be held in our [assembly Friday, February 26, and one of them will receive a gold med- i al, presented by the local chapter. If Washington were alive his ears would certainly be burning. For 3 three days Mrs. McKey's room rang with eloquence. The three "r's" of composition were strictly observed; c that is, the students may have been j a little weak on coherence, but they were shining lights in unity, George Washington, and emphasis, "the father of his country." Nineteen boys entered the contest, ten of these making the final pre¬liminaries. The ten were Leo Linford, Vern Williams, Sidney Bordon, Walter Hoyt, Maurice Abbott, ! Frank Ellis, Raymond Holmes, Par¬ley Hassell, Delbert Hardman and 1 Dell Tower. A great deal of enthusiasm was manifested over the preliminaries and the orations were of a high order. The judges were Mrs. Irwin, Mrs. Chambers, Miss Wooley, Mrs. McKey and Mr. Peterson. MUSIC EVENTS Do you all know there is such a thing as a music room in our beloved O. H. S.? Oh, don't be sore, I was only kidding: Yes, they have glee clubs, orchestras, band, quartets and what have you. The girls' glee clubs receive visitors every two weeks to play and help out in the programs they have. The band played last Friday evening at a Lincoln's birth¬day party. They later received a letter containing many commenda¬tory statements, and also a nice check. At the cadet hop the band will play a special selection, "Over There." This is an old world war tune, in case you don't happen to remember. This famous band is also planning a concert to broad¬cast over the radio. It hasn't been announced who will sponsor this, nor the set time. At any rate we'll listen in. Also an opera will be presented soon. We mustn't miss this. They are working on it now. Watch for the announcement. JANET GARNOR. STELLAE At the home of Pledge Watson Stellae had a night meeting Friday.1 The first to which our pledges could come. Farron Wheelwright was made a member and welcomed into the club. We discovered that our junior pledges as public entertainers are good dishwashers. By the way, this reporter got a letter from "Dad" Beason last week. Dad, you know, was a founder and acted as advisor of Stellae for many years. Dad says he is feeling very well and that he loves every one in Og¬den high "individually and collec-tively." We all love you, too, dad. MARIE LOUISE DOBBS. ON LITTLE EDGARS Little Edgar III says: What this high school needs is a "little Edgar" to end all little Ed¬gars. What I would like to know is who started this thing, anyway. But seriously, things have come to a pretty pass when little Ed¬gar can't think of anything better to do than to pan himself. From the diary of little Edgar, February 18, 1932: "Charles Wood told me that Bill Kinner was so long that they called him depression, but I am afraid to print it because it may not be or¬iginal like the rest of my stuff(?)." On Friday evening the cadet hop of Ogden high school was held at the Berthana and was one of the prettiest of the season's parties. The affair was strictly military and ri¬fles were stacked in the corners of the hall and large American flags hung on the wall. The manual of arms done without orders to the strains of the school band was per- ectly executed. Patrons and patron¬esses were Superintendent and Mrs. Karl Hopkins, Principal and Mrs. A. M. Merrill, Captain and Mrs. Roy Sparks, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Riley, Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Nye, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Foulger, Mr. and Mrs. S. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wil¬liams, Mr and Mrs. W. M. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hales, Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Soderberg, Mr. and Mrs. Ora Bundy, Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Wiliiams and Mr and Mrs. W. J. Rackham. Preceding the dance the officers if the R. O. T. C. entertained their iponsors at dinner at Dick's cafe. Those present were Miss Mildred jar sen, Miss Elaine Evans, Miss Louise Peterson, Miss Holly Arthur, Miss Jean Danvers. Miss Lulu Hodg¬son, Miss Helen Tanner, Lieutenant Colonel Doyle Hales, Major John Svans, Captain Joseph Fowler, Cap- ;ain Francis Burton, Captain Ken¬neth Boyle, Captain Dee Wangsgard ind Captain Ivan Neilson. Following the dance Dee Wangsgard en¬tertained the officers and sponsors at supper at his home on Twenty- eighth street.
