Show Students Explore Knighthood Times Feb. 29, 1932 Reports And Notebooks Describe Days of Chivalry (Ogden High School Notes) Mr, Kasius' junior English classes i have just completed "Idylls of the King," which reveals the days of King Arthur and chivalry. Some of 1 the students are making book re- ports on stories of knighthood, while t a few who would rather interpret c their ideas of the Idylls in pictures 2 are doing so. The pupils are also 3 making individual literature note books on journals which contain t anything of interest such as favor- i lte selections, poems or articles. 1 —Jeannette Johnson. 1 ASSEMBLY REPORT The assembly of Friday presented : the contestants in the S. A. R. con- ( test. A violin solo by Winona Olsen opened the assembly and was j followed by the speeches of contest- ants: Walter Hoyt, "Washington, 3 First in War, First in Peace, First In the Heart of His Countrymen"; Raymond Holmes, "Washington, the Leader"; Dell Tower, "Washington, the Home Man", and Maurice Abbott, "Washington, the Builder of a Nation." The decision was given to Walter Hoyt. Announcements by MaLou Dobbs and Clyde Bassett were en- 1 thusiastically received. The entire rtudent body joined in the singing 1 ol "America," led by Mr. Hansen. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics club enjoyed 1 very interesting and unusual talk t on "Crusine Living of France," giv- 1 n by our French instructor, Mr. Taggart, on February 26. After the t talk a piano selection was played by 1 Margaret Stratton, entitled "The Fauns", followed by the regular pro- cedure in charge of the vice president, Mary Thomas. —Elizabeth Woolley. THE O. H. S. SPECTATOR The Spectator is likely to turn up almost anywhere these days, but if you are bent on reading it—and I t can see that you aref-you can find t it. I'll bet if the people of Boston c would make a law against selling it i in their fair city, the copy would 1 be fairly torn out of your hands. The text contains, to my intense relief, no more of Helen Lindquist's biting sarcasm; Charles Wood dis-poses of the sponsors In an article otf salesmanship; Amar Hickman is writing short stories, and Hubert Lynch discusses the much discussed Phi Lambda contest in a light tone of voice.—B. T. CLASSICALIA NEWS Wednesday, March second—Nom¬inating convention to nominate a queen. Wednesday, Mareh ninth—First vote for the queen. Friday, March eleven—Assembly to auction the booths.

CHAUCER II Whereas there is a woman with a pen; She spends her time hi Mr. Merrill's d en. She ever makes elaborate G. A.'s; Which come In handy on your ab¬sent days. With darkest hate and genial smile she tries To help the chief to a good humor rise. GAMES DESIRED I T" stands for team. A girls' bas¬ketball team. Have you ever seen it play? If you haven't you have sure¬ly missed a treat. This team wishes to challenge any other girls' bas¬ketball team in the school. If you wish to make reservations, see Phyl¬lis Ardema. PHOTOGRAPH PROOFS j Hiis is not an announcent; maybe! I should say it is a threat. All sen- j lors must have their proofs back in the studios immediately. Some have the impression that fchey must order their dozen pictures at the time they return the proofs. This is not necessary; return the proof, get your cuts, and bring them to Mrs. Chambers. If you; later desire to get the dozen pic¬tures, place your order when most convenient for you. Remember that your deposit of one dollar entitles you to the cut for the year-book. We must send the senior section to the printers within the next two weeks. We will not promise to have your picture appear if it is handed in later than March 15. Next week the students may place their orders with Mr. Kasius for a year-book, if they are not already entitled to one. Deposit of a dol¬lar must be made at time of order¬ing. Remember, if you have a $5 student body ticket you will receive your year-book. —C. G. B. DRAMATIC ART CLUB D. A. C. has certainly been doing things in a big way, and anyone be- longing to or visiting the club lately j will tell you so. Programs for en¬tertainment and progressiveness have been enjoyed, and programs even better have been scheduled for weeks ahead. Mr. Aldred from the Weber col¬lege gave a very instructive talk on "Greek Drama," and anyone who was lucky enough to hear it en¬joyed it thoroughly. Mr. Robinson of the music department gave a talk on "Opera and Its Relation to Drama." Miss Carma Douglas as¬sisted him. It's certainly too bad that more of the students of Ogden High school couldn't have heard it. Realizing that very few students are privileged to hear such talks, the D. A. C. has graciously extend¬ed an invitation to anyone desir¬ous of hearing these talks. Just be in Miss Woolley's room every Thursday at three-thirty o'clock and you won't regret it. Another bit of good news is that: the Dramatic Art club has decided' to accept some new pledges, so all j of you ambitious juniors and Sen¬iors get in touch with Miss Woolley for further particulars. —Edna Williams. Dance Decoration Suggestion Heard Students Are Urged To Consider Modernistic Design Ogden High School Notes To the students: As one person to another don't you think, dear fellow students, that a modernistic idea could be carried out very nicely for the supreme dancing part of the Ogden High school season, the Classicalia? Of course as you all should know, this is a free country, and maybe your idea would far exceed my hum¬ble suggestion. So why not make a few suggestions of your own?—Sug¬gestive Sal. PLAY'S THE THING Humorous, serio tragic, burlesque, dramatic, wholesome, pleasing and clever. Of such stuff are made the one-act plays of Miss Woolley's sen¬ior classes, filled to the brim with interest, satire and intriguing plots. The casts are composed of poor— or should I say honored—juniors who heroically endeaver to follow the dictates of the all-wise, all- powerful senior directors. The ama¬teur but soon-to-be famous actors even now are hurriedly and fran¬tically learning assigned parts, guiltily conscious that they should have been memorized long ago. But never fear. The more frantically learned the better they are, despite indications to the contrary. You'll be surprised and delighted if you happen to be one of the fortunate ones attending a senior dramatic art class within the next few months. But have courage, my friends, for the best ones will also be presented in public. And if Miss Woolley, who gave a highly enthral¬ling reading for the Daughters of Utah Pioneers at Madison school last week, has a look in on some of the more difficult you may be thoroughly reassured that you will sit on the edge of the seat and ask for more. "The play's the thing!" my friends, and if you didn't know it you do from now on.—Marjorie Wood. CLUB REPRESENTATION Students, why has Council lost pep since a certain time last year? Do the classrooms learn wh'at goes on in Council? Why shouldn't the clubs, as organizations that push school activities, be represented in Council? Has not every club's con- sitution a clause in it stating the reason they are organized is-to back the school? Do not the clubs sup¬port every game and dance? Do they not help raise the funds for the yearbook at the Classicalia? If you answer all these questions, students, I am sure that you will find that each answer has no rea¬son in it to exclude clubs from be¬ing represented. The clubs of O. H. S. have a membership that is over one-third the population of the school. The clubs are active, pro¬mote school interests. They should be represented. I do not wish to exclude classroom representation. I only want to change the amendment made last year to include a representative from each club. ALPHA SIGMA CLUB Students: You haven't heard much from the Alpha Sigma club lately, but you will hear a lot in the very near future. The spring swimming meets are near at hand, and of course we specialize in swimming. After getting Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Neilsen quieted down Tuesday we . had our regular meeting. We elect¬ed into the club Mr. Clair Jackson and Mr. Robert West. Congratula¬tions, fellows. Then as is the cus¬tom we adjourned. I am hoping with all my heart that this report does not bring down upon my head the wrath of our most worthy crit¬ics, B. T. and Charles Wood—Gray Oshel, reporter. DIARY OF A DAMSEL Frenzied Friday: After a hectic "blue Monday" of a Friday I have with unlimited self- pity come to the conclusion that the world has been unduly mistreat¬ing my deserving person. In fur¬ther elucidation of my sympathy- demanding plight I state that I am hurt, insulted, misused, misunder¬stood, slighted, tormented, and bad¬ly picked on. With courage, however, I have at last managed to stifle my sobs and acted upon the advice of dominant anger. I swear revenge upon mankind in general and cer¬tain persons in particular for all past, present, and future wrongs committed against my own sweet self. As a result, I shall eagerly assure myself that justice has been given full sway and coax myself into believing I am enjoying my vengeance, my righteous triumph. What if conscionce does murmur of disapproval? Revenge is sweet; isn't it? Dear teacher interrupted pleasant reveries today by issuing a singular¬ly sarcastic and reproving remark. Then she further ignited the fire of wrath by assigning me an unusually hard Latin sentence for translation. I had overlooked that one—acci¬dentally on purpose. (I didn't like the looks of it.) The result of her strategic execution of a school teacher's duties was, I fear, an over¬grown zero opposite my name. Oh, well, that means I refuse to make up a long-neglected lesson. The sweet (I wonder!) consequence—I suspect my "hot" report card will be shaded a good deal by a mark several degrees colder than previous ones. Revenge is sweet! Something .and not a feathered fowl, at that) tells me that statement is misleading consolation.—Susie Seventeen. |
