THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1933 Suggestion Made That O. H. S. Commercial Club Be Put In Action Again Benefits Possible From Revived Organization Pointed Out OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. A commercial club of Ogden High was organized in 1921 and at that time took an active part in school life. It was due to the splendid ef¬forts of commercial students to learn about the trades they were supposed to make their life's work The aim of the club was to bring the commercial students of the high school into closer touch with the business men, business interests and business life of Ogden. To further ac¬quaint the club members with Og¬den business the club visited several large business plants of the city. These visits proved "ery helpful and instructive to all who attended. Why don't the commercial stu¬dents re-organize such a club? Through the membership of this club could be chosen the different managers of school campaigns, etc. It would help all commercial stu-dents to learn purpose in taking cer¬tain commercial subjects. Such a club would be called jun¬ior chamber of commerce.—J. W. P., a commercial student. THEY ARE YOUR NOTES On various occasions the editors of the notes, Mr. Merrill, and even the editor of The Ogden Standard- Examiner have suggested that all students make more and better use of the notes; but their pleas seem to have fallen for the most part on deaf ears. If the students would only write about the interest¬ing things happening in school ev¬ery day, one may be quite sure that alloted space in the newspaper would be filled with good articles every evening. There are about one hundred eighty school days in the year- Since there are over one thousand stu-dents in the school, one article a year from each student would make more than five articles per day for the notes. Therefore, let each stu¬dent resolve to have at least one article in the notes this year. He need not be ashamed of this one article; if it is a good one it may out-class six ordinary ones. Each English teacher could watch his students' work for especially good articles, and when he found one he could advise the student to put it in the notes. Some students would write for the notes but they do not like to see their names in print—bashful little rascals. In some cases students have used nom-de-plumes; last year one student censored the practice. In any event, they are not very de¬sirable unless they are appropriate to the writer. When all is said and done, the message is the more important thing, and if it takes the form ol a news article it need not be signed at all. Editorials and essays should be signed. Articles of a silly and frivolous nature should have no place in the news. Some of the gossip that has been printed in the news would have meant just as much to the majority of us if it had been written in Greek. The important thing then is to express yourself by writing some¬thing good, and you may sign it as you please—full name, initials, nom-de-plume, or not at all. —Joseph Schwartz. DEFINITION OF GENTLEMEN How would you define a gentle¬man of Ogden High? Would you say that he's a fellow who doesn't have to work for what he gets in school or life? A fellow who says "bawth" when he wants to wash himself? Or a fellow who struts around in a dress suit expecting everyone to look up and, "My but he's handsome?" I recently ran across this defintion of a gentleman and I like it. "A man that's clean inside and outside, who neither looks up to the rich nor down on the poor, who can lose without squealing and can win with¬out bragging; who is considerate of women, children and old people; who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat and too sensible to loaf; one who takes his share of the world's goods and lets other people have theirs." If I added anything to this definition I would say that he's a man who knows enough to mind his own business—Clifford Thorne DEFINITION OF A KISS A noun—because it is both com¬mon and proper. A verb—because it may be either ac¬tive or passive. An adjective—because it takes an explanation before and after. A conjunction— because it joins together. A pronoun—because she usually stands for it. An interjection — because it ex¬presses strong feeling. An adverb —because it intesifies the action of a verb. A preposition —because it has an object. DRUM MAJOR CHOSEN Mark Child has been appointed drum major of the Ogden High school band. Several ooys are alsoj practicing for twirling drum majors If you have been thinking about trying out for a twirling drum maj-or, see Mr. Hanson at once; these position will soon be filled. Remem¬ber, we will teach you how it is done. LATE Upon entering the building you find all is still. You tip toe to your locker. Darn it all! Why doesn't that combination work? Your coat misses the hook. A bang and the locker's shut. Hoping no one sees you, you dash past the office. Slowly you open the door and glide to your seat. Smeone giggles. As you turn around a mass of grinning faces greets you. Did you forget some¬thing? What's wrong? You must have forgotten—yes, you did—your: hat. Dolores Rowland DID YOU KNOW That we have finished our first six weeks of school and that judgment day is Wednesday? That you should know biology palmistry and many other subjects in order to be successful in Mrs Newcomb's English class? That Hans Johnson would like to be a captain so that he could have Kathryn Empey as his sponsor? That Friday, October, 27, is a holiday for all students? That Ogden High has the best football team this year it has had since 1916? Success follows. That unless we buy more student body tickets all activities will be curtailed throughout the year? Let's support the student body. That I am running out of thoughts.—Gentleman Joe. A WAG A wag in one of the history classes pulled this today: Have you heard of the great pan¬ic in New York? The Brooklyn bridge is suspended, the subway is in the hole,.,the Em¬pire State building is up in the air. and the elevated roads have run over thousands of people. GLAD WE'RE DRY The Rev. W. B. Williams, former pastor of the Congregational church, who recently returned to his old home in Massachusetts writes to a high school teacher as follows: "The more we see of the east the more we like the west and wish we were back there. The weathei since we returned has been shock¬ing—about everything one does not like and wetter than the repeal. II you good people could see what w endure you would doubtless be sing¬ing "How Dry I Am," the farmers have lost all of their tomatoes and much else of their fall harvest be¬cause of the blighting dampness." WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1933. Ogden High Intends To Present Wilde Play As Dramatic Event Of Year School Plans To Stage "Importance of Being Earnest" OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette. Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. "Importance of Being Earnest." The above is the title of the school play that is to be presented this year. This sparkling comedy was written by Oscar Wilde, who was noted for epigrams, wise, witty, playful sayings. The story is built upon punning of the word 'Ernest' and is full of rich comedy. The play will be read in roonj 305 at three- thirty o'clock Thursday. THREE THINGS Three things to think about—life, death and eternity. "Death is the sweetest thing this life has to offer." Socrates the Greek philosopher, died with these words on his lips. Death is a game fought by everone, looked forward to by some and dreaded by others. Life is expression and each per¬son has his own individual part to play. For some, life is sweet, but others find it bitter. Life is what you make it. Eternity is salvation, the goal for which everyone aims. It is the life after death. Everything is beautiful, perfect with no crime. This place will contain work, but the kind we will enjoy.—Marion Jenkins. ARCHERY Archery is rapidly becoming a favorite sport among the girls of high school. Every Thursday the girls meet with Mrs. White and Mr. Hooper to practice, and in the near future we hope to organize squads. These squads will then com¬pete with each other in tournaments. This sport will be practiced outside for the time being but later on be practiced inside. Mrs. White ex- ! presses her hope and desire to every ; girl to help make this new game in¬teresting and so have many spicy tournaments this year. Come on, , girls. Let's hit the bull's eye and all i be expert archers.—Virgie Combe. FIRE DRILL To be prepared in an emergency is one of the necessary parts of our training. For that reason we were given a fire drill recently. The proper instructions on how to leave the building quickly and orderly may be the means of saving several lives in this or any building in case of fire. Properly built buildings of fire resis¬tant materials aid greatly in safety; but we are not always in places when we can be sure of not avoid¬ing such a danger. It is in such places that we must rely on our cool heads and quick thoughts to get ourselves and everyone else out safely. When every student is thor¬oughly trained for jsuch an emergency "we can expect ttve loss o Me through fires in public buildings to be practically eliminated. GIRL'S ASSEMBLY An assembly for girls was held Friday afternoon. The first number on the program was a violin and cel¬lo duet played by Kathryn Morrell and Beverly Brown. We had a short talk from Miss Poulter after which the remainder of the time was giv¬en over to Mrs. Ruth Mumford. supervisor of the Dee hospital. She gave a very interesting lecture on current problems in health, which sl.2 illustrated by charts.—M. M. P. We wish to extend to Faye Staker, a student at Ogden High school, and her family, our most heartfelt sympathy in the late bereavement of their mother and wife- JUST A THOUGHT Did you notice the picture of the band on the "Scholastic" of Octo¬ber 14? Chests out, heads up, they march proudly along. They are an asset to their school and they are proud of what they are doing. Have you ever given a thought to our school band? They need your sup¬port. Boost your band. Don't knock, boost! boost! boost. GAME SATURDAY One of the crucial games of the year will be played Saturday be¬tween Ogden and Logan. Logan has beaten Ogden annually for several years, but this year the tables are! to be turned. This year Ogden wins. WE LIVE AND LEARN In six weeks of school I have learned: Not to call Maurice Ken¬nedy by the name Maurice but Maurie, Jack Wilcox answers to the name of Little Lord Fauntleroy; Dorothy Bowman does not like the name "Blondie;" Virgie Tribe gets mad when you say, "Mud in her hair;" Jerry Seal does not like the name "han'some;" Sidney Cole just loves to write notes; Mr. Peterson delights in embarrassing the boys and making the girls blush; Jack Bennett likes to play rummy; Billy Farr likes to sleep; Dave Wangsgard has to have his little jokes; Kate Johnson answers to the name "Johnny;" Grant Robinson is find¬ing that the "old order changeth. yielding place to new." That I'd better stop before I say something. —Snooptagall THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1933.
