Show FRIDAY EVENING; NOVEMBER 17. 1933. Students Impersonate Early U. S. Leaders In Their History Studies Proves Effective Method of Gaining Knowledge of Nation OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor In the last few days John Adams, James Monroe, Clay, Calhoun and ; many other Nineteenth century figurges have been brought to life by students who have taken upon themselves the offices which these great men once filled. Each member of the class repre¬sented some great personage of his¬tory, and in doing so, tells about the things which he has been able to accomplish during the time that he lived. Although this seems a queer way to learn history, it is, nevertheless, an effective one. It is much easier to know about John Adams, for in¬stance, especially if you take it up¬on yourself to be John Adams. By dramatizing these figures history is made less complicated.—Elva Miller. DISHWASHING TIPS If only I were the youngest in the family, or the only boy with about six sisters, then the disagreeable thoughts that pass through my mind would never be recorded by my guardian angel. If you are an only girl, or happen to have one lone sister, I am sure you will be interest¬ed in a few tips on scientific dish-washing which I have found of great help to me and which, I am sure, will meet with your hearty approval. To begin with, when clearing the table, use the ice box to its ca¬pacity in storing away all the dish¬es possible, with left-overs. Exam¬ine the bread plate carefully. It may not need washing and if in doubt, store it in the bread box with the half slice of bread still remaining on it. Leave the butter knife on the plate—it will not tarnish. A very good place to put left over meat is back in the roaster, and if you arrange the contents of the refrig¬erator right, I am sure you will be able to place it n the bottom shelf. You, of course, realize that the roster should not be washed any oftener than necessary, and mother does a much better job of it anyway When there is no one looking, just slide the frying pans into the oven, so the kitchen will not look clut¬tered, and when it comes time to wash them, you will have entirely forgotten they needed washing. If you have had escalloped potatoes for dinner, fill the pan with water. It should be soaked over night. Scraping breaks the finger nails, and the chore boy scraper might spoil the appearance of the pan. Do not waste golden minutes scouring silverware—you may have eggs for breakfast in the morning, and one scouring will be sufficient. Hide the milk bottles under the sink or just rinse them out and put them on the porch. The milkman has to sterilize them any way before h can use them again. If you are alone in the kitchen, don't bother to scour the sink—no one sees it during the night. Wash your hands quickly, and be sure to turn out the kitchen light—someone might want to inspect. After you have followed out these few technicalities, you will, I am sure, find that you have saved yourself a great deal of mental and physical strain.—Ruth Goddard. Note: Remember, though, girls, — your mother might not appreciate this! SCIENTIFIC WAY Just how important is dish wash- ihg in your routine of life? Per¬sonally, I regard the washing of the dishes as one of the most distaste¬ful, discouraging and unenviable of arts. To me, the saddest words of tongue or pen, after a most satisfy¬ing dinner, are "Ruth, please hurry with the dishes." Last Friday three charming pledges became members of A.D.M. They are Darhle Jones, Ruth Charlesworth, and Barbara Taylor. The memory of their initiation will always remain with these girls. The seniors enjoyed the repetition of the ceremony and afterward served an attractive dinner which was suitable for the occasion.—D. S. IN SYMPATHY We, the students of Ogden High I school, mourn with Mr. Oberhansley the loss of his beloved mother, We extend our sympathy to his family and hope that the Almighty will give him strength to bear this misfortune. We hope that our teach¬er and friend will be back with us soon.—K. E. LOS LORITOS Again we want you to hear from! this up and doing bunch of girls. Do you know what we have been! doing? Well, as usual we have been Itrying to help others, so we lent our support to the Red Cross. All of our girls undertook the fascinating job of making baby clothes. And if you don't think we had some time Imaking those tiny things just ask Katherine. At least we did our part and of course it was a pleasure to know that we were helping someone that was in need. Watch for more from Us.—Una Lorita. As each Saturday passes, there are fewer undefeated or untied teams on the gridiron. Each Saturday seems to eliminate at least one team. Some of last year's monarchs have! already seen their fate. Southern California, national champions for ithe last two years, was held to a scoreless tie by Oregon State. Oregon's lineup consisted of the same , eleven men all through the game— the eleven iron men. Then, a week later, Southern California barely nosed out California, 6 to 3. Both of these games were conference games. Pittsburgh, Southern California's opponent in the Rose Bowl tourna¬ment at Pasadena last year, was beaten by the Minnesota Gophers, 7 to 3. Notre Dame has won only one game in five starts. They beat In¬diana and tied Kansas State. Car¬negie Tech, Pittsburgh, and Navy shut them out, 7 to 0, 14 to 0, and 7 to 0, respectively. Michigan has another great team in togs this year, personally, I think they were the outstanding team of the nation last year. They won the Big Ten conference championship last year, and are leading the con¬ference so far this year, with no de¬feats or tie games. Colgate, best in the far east last year, has been tied by the small Lafayette team. Tennessee and Auburn, co-holders of the Southern title last year, have both been beaten. Texas Christian, winner of the Southwestern conference, has been beaten twice. Nebraska, winner of the Bix Six, is leading their conference again. Utah, perennial champions of the Rocky mountain conference is again leading, but she has been beaten twice this year by Pacific coast teams.—Reed Alexander. STATE VISITORS Dr. B. K: Farnsworth state supervisor of secondary schools, Miss Etta Scourp, state supervisor home economics and Professor Mosiah Hall, state director of rehabilitation, visited the Ogden High school on Wednesday. They expressed pleasure in their visit, especially in noting that some of our teachers are adopting the "unit" plan of instruction in their classes. A NEW PHRASE Professor Robinson has intro¬duced a new phrase into the music department. He tells the students there that they must have hearing eyes, and seeing ears. I guess that's what we all need. |
