Classicum Attains First Class Rating May 3, 1932 Ogden School Publication Gains National Honors Ogden High School Notes Virginia Hunter, Editor Although the quarterly Classicurn has not thrilled bleachers packed with enthusiastic students, Ogden High school should feel justly proud of the record its magazine has made. Recently, two copies of the first and third issues were submitted to the National Scholastic Press association for critical service. As a result of this valuable analysis and grading, the staff and advisers were sent a scorebook showing a first class hon¬or rating. The quarterly scored 755 points out of a possible 1000, thus advancing it from the second class honor rating of last year. Certain¬ly, this honor should create a de¬sire to publish a magazine next year meriting All-American honors and to make the school appreciate that which has won national dis¬tinction for it. PRIDE Probably I will get booed when I tell you that it is the primary duty of all of us to be proud of our school. The structure must not be the first consideration. The back¬ground is what counts. If we re¬spect and love our institution, we shall find it much easier to be proud of it. Of course, the attitude we take inspires the same in others. We should not only be proud of our school, but of our city, country and last, but not least, of ourselves. The most damage we can do to our¬selves is to have an inferiority com-plex. ASSEMBLY On Monday morning at ten o'clock, the first of the series of assemblies for Boys' week was held. Frank Francis was the speaker, and he gave an exceedingly interesting talk. He emphasized the facts brought out in Vash Young's book that was published recently. Every¬one enjoyed this talk, and realized the importance of higher education. He says people can get along much better if they adapt themselves to the conditions that come upon them. CONGRATULATIONS We are very proud to acknowl¬edge the appointment of Miss Jes¬sie Schofield to the National Recrea-tion school in New York City. It was founded by the National Rec¬reation association. Although we hate to lose such a charming and competent member of our faculty, we are happy for her. It is a won¬derful opportunity, and Miss Scho¬field is a worthy addition to a won¬derful institution. A VISITOR R. H. Holliday of the Women's Teacher college of Denver honored Ogden High school Friday with a visit. The history classes during the day were especially honored by a talk. This talk, which was in-teresting and educational, was about the negro problems down south. He brought up a good many viewpoints that are not always thought of around this country. All those who heard Mr. Holliday talk enjoyed him very much. PET PROS AND CONS Pros: Boys' week, but, of course, the four assemblies and day-and-a-half vacation don't have anything to do with it. Dale Anderson for president, Ma¬rion Cheesman, vice president, and anybody but B. T. for secretary. "Tlie insignificant sum of ten cents," especially when spent to see the senior class make "playee." Cons: p An assembly that makes me feel like "a house on fire." An audience that makes too fre¬quent use of stage whispers, and Miss Woolley is my authority. A visiting debating team that can't behave itself any better than to defeat our one and only pet neg¬ative team, and they were girls, at that. No one can say I'm preju¬diced! —Susie Seventeen. SCHOOL PLAY DAY The Women's Athletic association of the University of Utah recently conducted the first school play day for girls in the area surrounding Salt Lake City on the university campus. The girls were assembled with fourteen members in each of the six teams. The Yellow Zebras won first place.

CADETS UNDER REVIEW TOBAY Several hundred persons witness¬ed this afternoon the drilling of Ogden High school cadets at the Ogden City stadium, in the presence of Col. J. G. Pillow of San Fran¬cisco, representing the regular army. Contests for trophies were being judged by Second Lieuten¬ants Ross T. Sampson and Thomas J. Marnane of Fort Douglas. Colonel Pillow said this Ogden unit of the Reserve Officers' Training corps makes an excellent ap-pearance in cleanliness and neat¬ness, marches and drills well and has an excellent band. The equip-ment was found in first rate con¬dition. This is the forty-third of fifty schools on his inspection list this spring. Respect Property of Others, Urges Editor May 5, 1932 Smashing of Window At High School Arouses Comment Ogden High School Notes Bob Hetzel, Editor Respect of property, any kind of property, should be shown by every¬one and especially school bays and girls. Students do not think when they destroy things or they most as¬suredly would not do so. Recently seven windows were broken in the Ogden High school. Six of these were out in the carpentry shop and one in one of the typing rooms. Rocks were found in the shop, show¬ing that someone had deliberately destroyed these windows. Perhaps the person or persons who did it thought they would receive a great deal of enjoyment from such a deed, but they really do not. In the end one finds out that it might have been enjoyable at the time, but as time goes on he realizes the intense wrong that has been done, and he pays for his wrong doings through suffering in some way. If you wish to become great in the minds of the people, have respect for your prop¬erty and everyone else's.—-The Edi¬tor. MAYOR SPEAKS Tuesday morning's assembly was sponsored by the Lions' club and Mayor Ora Bundy was the speaker. He talked to us about good citizen¬ship. Mayor Bundy has talked up here at other times this year and we always look forward to his visits. We hope he enjoys coming as much as we enjoy having him come. We may as well call this Girls week too because the girls are getting in on all the assemblies and are some of the fellows peeved! Oh well, that's their hard luck.—H. P. BAND ACTIVITIES It's been a long time since you have heard from the band, ever since Erroll Patrick signed off. But now the voice of the band speaks again. I am going to let you all in on the secret, don't tell anyone; mum's the word. Here it is: The music depart¬ment has received a new alto clar¬inet. Yes sir, an honest to good¬ness, real horn, all gold but the case. Instruments of this type rare¬ly are bought by the students be¬cause they are not solo instruments, but the music department has to have them to build up this particu¬lar section of the band. The band could also use to good advantage now, a bass clarinet. Maybe they will get it, and maybe they won't, but the best we can do for them is to hope that they do—Sid Gor¬don. IN LOGAN CONTESTS Blare the trumpets, sound the fifes! (Only it happened to be the drums, a clarinet, and a saxophone in our case). A gala display of talent was seen and heard at Logan last Thursday night, in the Utah and Idaho musical contest. Those entered from Ogden: Louis Bavaro, flute; Paul Gilgen, trombone; Lee Richards, French horn; Francis Burton, drums; Drew Peterson, saxophone; Bill Allen, clarinet. Francis Burton Cray for our side!) won first place in the drums; Drew Peterson third place with the saxo¬phone and Bill Allen third place with the clarinet.—M. J. W. ANNUAL BANQUET Last Saturday evening, April 30, D. A. C. held its annual banquet at the Green Gables. Acting Direc¬tor Woolley presided. There were about twenty-seven persons present including members, alumni and guests. Andy Brunetti, director for 1931, acted as toast- master. The program consisted of vocal solos by Gayle Malan and Eve¬lyn Stewart. Mrs. McKey, guest of honor, gave the toast to the harleqinade and Wilie Newman gave the toast to the incoming officers. Orel Henderson responded as di¬rector, Lucy McNiel as assistant di¬rector, Dorothy Sharret as business manager and Ed Shaw as scribe. The banquet was a success in every respect and all present en¬joyed a good time.—Ed Shaw. ART LECTURE LeConte Stewart, instructor of art at Ogden High school, spoke Wednesday at Mrs. Mark Brown's home, at an art exhibit. Mr. Stew¬art's talk helped those who wished to look at the pictures, as he told what should be looked for in an ex¬hibit. Among the pictures are etch¬ings and drawings of the class which he held last summer. The display continues today and Friday in the afternoon and evening. We wish to have present all that can attend, for we are sure that the exhibit shall prove well worth see¬ing.—Jeannette Johnson.
