Ogden School Band In Western Contest Competition to Be Held in Carbon County in April Ogden High School Notes Robert Hetzel, Editor It's a big event, this band con¬test, and our school is going to enter it! Price, the place; April 14, 15 and 16 the time, and thirty bands from over the western states the participants. There's going to be quite a crowd, numbering ap¬proximately forty members to a group, so there probably won't be time for them to get homesick. Our band is diligently working on the . program, and we know they can't ; help but win with Mr. Hansen in ; the fore. Here's success to you— and we hope the beer tastes good., —M. W. , BAND VERY BUSY Students: Just a brief sketch to 1 prove to you the band is on its , toes. We are working hard to put , over a good job for our school. All' we need is your support to help us; and we will put it over with the ' best we have. We have a prize- ; winning band, so give us a chance. Here is a slight record of some of the things we are doing: Special band practices every Wednesday, seven-thirty p. m.; Sunday, nine a. m.; Friday, seven-thirty a. m. You would also be interested to know that each section practices some- : where every afternoon at three-thir- ' ty o'clock; clarinets, every Wednesday; cornets, Friday; trombones,' Wednesday; basses, Wednesday; I saxophones, Monday; bassoons, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday; horns, Tuesday. Now you know we are working. You understand that those are all: special. Our regular practice comes i every morning at eight-thirty. —Eroll Patrick. RESPONSIBILITY Every person in the world has I some sort of responsibility to look : after, no matter who he is or what: he is. It is this responsibility that i keeps him going, working, worry- : ing and living. Everyone has said : at some time or another that he ' desires to be rid of all responsibili¬ties and be at perfect ease. If he were really to be rid of all these things, he might be perfectly at ease for a few minutes, but in the end he would find that he needed some responsibility in order to keep on living. People who go to school have many worries and 'responsi¬bilities, and they often wish to be rid of them forever. However, if they really were to cast them off, for a time everything would be di¬vine, but soon the novelty, for it would be a novelty, would wear off. I In the end, these little troubles are always found to be necessary. —The Editor. NEXT MORNING AFTER Has anyone asked AL or Abe for a little more detailed information about that telephone girl? It might be interesting because what they deemed suitable to tell was prob¬ably not all there was to tell. Then, too, telephone girls probably have telephone numbers. That's all right, Dale, about want¬ing to get the whole student body in a huddle with your arms around them. We'll unanimously appoint MaLou as proxy and watch. It might be funny to take a crack at Lee Boreans, but—well, it just wouldn't be nice. Somebody said that it was prob¬ably almost as hard to make all those speeches that the players had to make Monday as to play the championship games. They are more than likely right- At least, it was nothing short of a miracle that kept more "breaks" from being made among all that talking. That was a royal welcome for the team and everyone else though. Some of the speakers in their en-thusiasm used words which rhymed j with "well" and "ham," at which time it was a study in self-control to watch Mr. Merrill. Did I hear somebody say that that wasn't nec¬essary? Probably it wasn't because Mr. Merrill certainly did arrange a good time for us; that is, with Mr. Glasmann's help. —Charles Wood. GAME ARRANGED Stop, look and listen: It has come at last. The "Model T" scrap team has at last found a way to express its ability. This team meets the Weber girls' basket¬ball team Thursday at four o'clock. The game will be played in their gym. What will be the result? SPRING FOOTBALL With the most successful bas¬ketball season in years practically completed, the center of sports at-traction turns to spring football. The first practice will be held Tues¬day night, and workouts will be held for about three weeks. Coach Simkins will again direct the squad, assisted by Dick Kapple. With a number of veterans returning and several aspirants from the junior highs also reporting, prospects for next year's team are unusually bright. —Parke Petterson. MORE CHAMPIONS As there has been so much ex¬citement about the boys' champion¬ship games, we have almost for-gotten about the girls' team. Ogden's All-Star team, coached by Al¬ton Parker, spent Friday and Sat-urday in Pocatello, Idaho. On Fri¬day they played a Piggly Wiggly team and the Pocatello Wildcats, winning both games. On Saturday they played the Blackfoot team and the Piggly Wiggly team and won. The Pocatello Tent and Awning team beat them the first game they played; but later in the day they played them again and won. This made Ogden's All-Star team champions of the western states. Ogden girls who were chosen on the first All-Star team are Delsa Childs and Margaret Price. Ethel Stitt was chosen for the second team. Those who received honorable men¬tion are Lucille Rae and Janice Sherman. I think we should give three cheers for another Ogden championship team, although they are girls, they use boys' rules and appear to be exceptionally good at it. —Jeannette Johnson. BY INVITATION ONLY The Drama club of Ogden will present two plays Thursday evening in the South Washington school auditorium. Copies of the program are being used as invita¬tions, and these are to be presented at the door by those wishing to see the productions. Opera Candidates Will Gather Early Mar. 24, 1932 Tryouts For High School Production Take Piace Monday Ogden High School Notes Virginia Hunter, Editor Ho hum! Seven-thirty in the morning. Can you imagine getting up and singing with the roosters that early? Monday is the day. Jt is an important day for all those interested in the opera. Tryouts seven-thirty o'clock Monday. The opera will be presented in the last weeks of April. —Jane Fife. DEPENDABILITY It seems that no other quality can so endear a person to us as dependability. No matter how charming we find that fickle, scat¬ter-brained person, he is not our ideal. What we really want is someone we would like to imitate. Invariably the successful man is the one upon whom his superiors can depend for the doing of a task and of its success. A sluffer is even in his own opinion, an un¬lovely character. He never feels that satisfaction that comes with doing a thing well. We should strive for dependability, the greatest as¬set we can acquire. —The Editor. ORATORICAL CONTEST The national oratorical contest, a nationwide event for high school students on the subject of the na-tional constitution, is drawing much interest at Ogden High. This con¬test is sponsored by newspapers all over the nation: In this district by the Salt Lake Tribune. Our district includes about seven high schools in Weber, Box Elder, Davis and Cache counties. The first district tryouts will be held Wednesday, March 30, at two o'clock. This con¬test offers some unusual prizes, as well as affording valuable experience in oratory, and all students inter¬ested in this subject should plan to enter. —Parke Petterson. TEACHER ABSENT Ogden High missed Wednesday one of its best loved English teach¬ers, who, because of the serious ill-ness of her mother, was unable to attend school. We sympathize, Mrs. Chambers, and we are hoping for the speedy recovery of your mother. Mrs. White ably took Mrs. Cham¬bers' place, and all was serene. TRIP AWAITED News! Well, not new news, but it is good news. Our band, as a class "A" band, is going to Price to compete in the four-state contest. With them the O. H. S. players are taking four members of the junior highs. The high school will fur¬nish money for food, the chamber of commerce and the board of ed- i ucation here are taking care of the transportation, while the chamber of commerce of Price is furnishing the rooms in the hotel. They are . going out for marching, concert and : some solo contests. They will leave . Ogden Thursday, April 14, and re- . turn the following Sunday. —Jeannette Johnson. DAY IS DONE Somehow, when Dale Anderson : was up there talking to the assem- : bly about the spirit that seems toi radiate around those huddles that the team periodically goes into, I couldn't help thinking of MaLou— maybe there's no connection, I don't know. But speaking of huddles, have you ever seen Helen Rogers, Bobr Junk, Earl Reeves and Mary June! Lamereaux put their heads togeth¬er? No? Where have you been? This Jack Watson-Mildred Lar¬son affair is not news, it's a nuis¬ance. And, by the way, that little red hat that Jack's been wearing be¬longs to MaLou Dobbs. I know what, you're thinking, but you are all wrong. I think the funniest thing I ever saw was Dee Wangsgard taking set¬ting-up exercises in the hall one afternoon, and Deirdre Dobbs count¬ing. Joe Fowler says that "gentlemen prefer blondes." Well, for your sake. Harriet, I hope he's a gentle- man. (Kinda subtle, don't you think.) I heard the funniest story about Alice Huggins climbing into the window of a bus, when they went to Salt Lake, but I wouldn't dare repeat it. Paul Gilgen, whom I call "Gilmore," and Janet Garner, whose lisp lays the boys around the corners, have absolutely no claim to a place in this column, except that she at¬tracts senior boys exclusively, while with him it's junior girls. At the dance Monday, there was absolutely a dearth of junior high school students. Some people call it sluffing. I remember when I was in the tenth grade—well, may¬be this has gone far enough. The team rather double crossed me — they really could make speeches. Erroll Patrick says there ought to be a tax on oil: Erroll and oil: girl and boil—well, maybe it's not good, I don't know. H. L. is a swell nom de plume. There are only four of them in the high school. Two of them are no-torious, one's a hero, and one is— well, not so bad. Wrong again! "We are seven." —b. T. UNCONSCIOUS KIDS The results of the preliminary Ciassicalia queen vote held Wednes¬day morning were as you all know, that Elaine Evans and Ruth Haw¬kins are in the final race. This is a coincidence as the seniors will re-member that these two girls con¬tended for the vice presidency of the student body last year. However, another result of the vot¬ing was to show that there are only about 150 tickets sold to date. Real¬ly, this is deplorable, and something must be done immediately. Remem¬ber the slogan? "Get Ciassicalia con¬scious." You can't be Ciassicalia conscious unless you have bought your ticket. It seems hardly feas¬ible that anyone could be without a ticket after the onslaught of all those pretty maidens. The point to be brought out is that anyone who hasn't bought a ticket is uncon¬scious. Absolutely, anyone without a ticket is not Ciassicalia conscious and therefore must be unconscious. Please don't stay unconscious. CHARLES WOOD. TEAM ARRIVES TOMORROW The Idaho Falls high school team is to arrive in Ogden tomorrow aft¬ernoon at three-thirty, it was learn-ed this morning. The two teams, Ogden high and Idaho Falls high, are to play the first two games of a three-game series here Friday and Saturday nights, each game to start at eight. It has been decided that next Wednesday, March 31, will be the date of the third game, to be played at Idaho Falls, if needed. Reservations have been made by the Ogden officials to accommodate the visitors at the Hotel Bigelow upon their arrival. Principals L. W. Beam and A. M. Merrill, in their correspondence of the last two or three days have been telling each other that they think the other team will win. It seems to be the idea to try to make the op¬posing team think they have a snap. However, neither principal is com¬mitting himself so that there will be no "I told you sos."
