Show MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1933 Orators Selected For Contest Between Two High School Classes Cup Will Be Presented To Victors In O. H. S. Competition OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. It was announced in one of the assemblies that the junior and sen¬ior classes were going to hold an-other contest in which the juniors could have another trial to triumph over the seniors. This contest is an oratorical event. Three assemblies will be held, dur¬ing each of which two juniors and two seniors will have an opportunity to talk. A cup will be given to the winning class. The first two orators for the sen¬iors will be Jack Quayle and Bar¬bara Reeve, while the juniors have chosen Blaine Larson and Mary Jane Davies. We are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this first trial, and here's wishing you all luck.—M. P. THE GRAND AFFAIR After all the rumpus being made over a Century of Progress, nothing has been said about this fair in tho school notes. So taking it upon myself, I write: The grounds are about four miles long as the butterfly flies from stem to stern with hundreds of: buildings—all different in design and paint—proving that now and then an architect takes a drink. It's estimated that one-half mil¬lion customers drop in each twenty - four hours. (They also drop fifty cents in, too). The crowd is as assorted as animal crackers, every¬body from Who's Who to Who's Through. And say. the crowd acts like one Dig Happy family with the mortgage lifted. Now as I was saying about this fifty cents admission, when this is paid you enter and can go over the grounds and through the hall of science. A visit to the fair carries all the benefits to a high school edu-cation without the annoyance of crossing the faculty In the electrical building you see in dramatic and graphic form the epic of electricity, from Ben Frank-lin's kite down to the present day percolator. You see the current ac¬tually move through the grid tubes of a radio and come out "Wass you dere Sharlie?" The real high spot of the fair .is the sky ride, 600 feet high. You wouldn't notice this any more than you'd notice a cat with three heads And not overlooking anything, they staged a race to see what hen could lay the most eggs in four months. The winner got a blue rib¬bon. The hall of science was best. In there you could see them change raw sap into rubber, iron into steel, and it was said that they changed a bond into cash. Well, standby for the voice with a smile.—N.U.T. P.S. The writer saw the World's fair. ASSEMBLY HELD Assembly was called to order by President Jensen, Friday morning at nine-fifteen. A song was sung by a group of Ogden High's pretty junior girls, followed by an announcement from Weber college given by Dan Alsup, who asked that we support the approaching game with McKinley High school of Ha¬waii. Miss Mary Clark gave a beautiful vocal solo and Donald Olsen a violin solo accompanied by Mrs Olsen. Another song was sung by Miss Clark and was enjoyed very much. Our speaker was Dr. George H. Hansen of the B.Y.U. who gave a very interesting discourse concerning the social unit idea as developed by B.Y.U. which is very much discussed in Ogden High school. Miss Clark talked for a few mo¬ments on the same subject, after which assembly was adjourned.— Elva Miller. and boost them, never ridicule or knock. Come on, students, let's get behind our school 100 per cent and boost at every opportunity.—Pauline Brown. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING Meeting was called to order by President Stewart. It was announc¬ed that junior class advisors were to be elected. Mrs. Ballinger and E. Smith were elected. The meeting then turned to the discussion of choosing two junior orators to com¬pete against two seniors. Blaine Larsen and Jane Davies were chosen. President Stewart announced the junior girls would present a short skit in assembly October 20. Ruth Lavin Cragun was elected chairman of the committee. A football team was then chosen to compete against a senior team be¬tween the halves of the first football game. (A comedy stunt) —Blaine Larson. THANKS VOICED Students of Ogden High school desire to sincerely thank the man¬agement of radio station KLO for broadcasting a 15 minute program on Wednesday, September 27. from eleven-fifteen to eleven-thirty, as¬sisting us in presenting a plea to the students and their parents to become members of the Ogden High school student body association by purchasing student body tickets.

GIRLS CALLED A very important assembly will be held Wednesday immediately after school in the gym foi all girls ot the junior class. The purpose of this assembly is to give all junior, girls a chance to offer suggestions for their assembly, October 20. It will be much appreciated if all jun¬ior girls will be present with orig¬inal ideas and suggestions. We must and can make this assembly a suc¬cess!—R.L.V.C. LET'S BACK IT After a thoroughly convincing lecture from Mr. Hanson, the Girls Glee club is ready to help convert the rest of the student body to oui need of co-operation in the school Everything we do is representative of us and requires the entire sup¬port of the student body. We should not only make the school something to be proud of ourselves, but should make outsiders proud of us. There is plenty ofj talent and good sense in the school and we should put them to practice TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1933 Appeal Sounded For Greater Attendance At School Contests Strong Backing of Both Seniors and Juniors Held Essential OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. Students, last Saturday we had a football game. Many pf you know this but most of you either forgot the game or forgot your loyalty to your school. Your school needs your support, especially this year. Our student ibody funds are very low, and the spirits are low, but we must fight for the things we desire. We senior's can't leave this school with a nad taste in our mouths, we must have our yearboow, our games, and student activities that tend to make our last year in high school a success. You juniors must try to realize that this year means as much to us as next year will.to you and you must support all school activities and try to make this year a success. This means you must be in at¬tendance at our football games. Nest Friday is our first regular game and let's have everybody out there.—Frank Fister. O.H.S. LIBRARY The library of the Ogden High school is supplied with approximate¬ly 5000 books including nearly all of the phases of literature needed for school reference work. An aver¬age of 1000 students study daily in the library. Miss Wadsworth, the splendid new librarian, is assisted by a teacher each period through-out the course of the day. The field of knowledge in the li¬brary is divided into nine separate classes. Starting at the southeast end of the room the books are class¬ed thus: 000 General works; 100 philosophy; 200 religion; 300 so¬ciology; 400 philology, 500 natural science; 600 useful arts; 700 fine arts; 900 iiterature; 900 history. Fiction books are not numbered. Magazines are also available for reference work. Opposite the entrance is a catalog to books in the library with direc¬tions for its use. All Ogden High school students are welcome to use the library when¬ever they choose. WE CAN'T GIVE UP Have you seen a football team try to play a game with the halfback missing or tried to read a maga zine article when the article is minus a certain thought that might make it appear more interesting to you? Of course, there is not much chance of success for the one who is trying to put his game over. This is how an orchestra would appear without the proper instruments playing their parts. Please, help us find a string bass. —Dean. GIRLS' ATHLETICS Nearly one hour daily is given for gym work. This period is one of constructive, competitive activ¬ity in the endeavor of perfecting physical ailments, one ot the learn¬ing essence of sound mental and physical habits, and one of real en¬joyment, and diversion. Nothing is better than exercise for the devel¬opment of the physique, the games which we engage in certainly help to attain the desired results. Volley¬ball has been the main sport partic¬ipated in, but now some have be¬gun archery. Other games are also to be played soon. What fun it is to compete against the other three teams in your class —each with different names and in¬dividual colors to distinguish them' But twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday, the girls listen attentively to lectures demonstrating the im¬portance of health, given by our well informed capable instructor, Mrs. White. Not only are essentials of life being taught, but relaxation and freedom of action are enjoyed as well.—Emily Merrill. LAST HOPE REVIVED Several days ago Mr. Merrill broadcast an appeal over the radio for honesty among students. That, appeal has made at least one person happy, for today Mr. Smith is re¬joicing over the return of his pet zoology book, which he said, disap¬peared from his desk when he en¬tered the room, and declares it would tase the squad ol officers who have been searching for Machine Gun Kelly to locate the person who returned it. But that would be un¬called for, he thinks, because now he has his faith restored and knows that at least one student in Ogder. High school has a conscience.—H.M WOULD YOU LIKE TO? Click! click! click! at a very fast rate of speed. Then click, click, click at a tempo that you could not even term speed. These are the sounds that issue forth from the typing rooms. High and mighty seniors are seen in the classes with their hands fly¬ing over the Keys; while right beside them are the low and little juniors struggling away with the AB.C.'s Please don't get discouraged jun iors, we were in the same position; last year, even this year we seniors! are trying our hardest to get a speed that is higher than anybody else's. We all have been wondering whether it's Miss Osmond's,. Mrs Franke's, or Mr. Farnsworth's class¬es that are the fastest and up and doing ones. Wouldn't it be fun to send a chal¬lenge out to all the students of the junior and senior classes and see who can get the highest number of words a minute, with the least num¬ber of errors?—R.D.M. A THOUGHT Genius is only the power of mak¬ing continuous efforts. The line between failure ana success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and don't know it. How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success? As the tide goes out, so it also comes in In business, sometimes prospects may seem the darkest just before the dawn of success. |
