Face Puts Bluff Idea In Discard Pupils' Expression Often Betrays Scarcity of Knowledge OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor It is very interesting to know that the things outsiders most notice about us are the things that we are least aware of. For instance, when we are asked a question we are unable to answer a lot of us try the bluff method. We think we are able to hide our innermost thoughts, but we are not. In fact, one of the instructors in our school went so far as to say that he is able by facial expression to tell whether a student is prepared with the lesson for the day. There are many kinds of ex¬pressions. Sometimes it seems al¬most impossible that we humans are able to convey so many differ- expressions of the best examples is shown & Cfin our midst. The teacher of ss in question has asked one e students an almost unanswer question. Were you in the ont of the room you would be able to see many kinds of expressions. The teacher would be bent forward on his chair with a look partly of questioning and partly of disgust because no answer seemed to be forthcoming. The students who are paying attention, to the discussion show looks of laughter and of "I guess he didn't know!" Some of those who don't know the answer give an expression of "what if he asks me?" The students who do not care about the answer convey a look of contentment and peace. The expression of the student who was asked the question is most evi¬dent. His face seems to say: "Gee, I wish I were in China!" Have you ever noticed a condi¬tion such as this? Would you have been able to tell what had happen¬ed had you arrived after the teach¬er had asked the question? In other words, can you read expression? Re¬member, actions speak louder than words.—Blaine Larsen. SUPPORT ACCOLADE One of the biggest events of the School year is to take place Friday January 26. That is the Accolade. Girls, now is your chance to bring much needed money to the school treasury and to make our dance a Dig success. Get your dates now, if; you already haven't them and show the fellows a good time. You can get your tickets from club presidents or girl council mem¬bers whenever you wish. The tickets Will cost you seventy-five cents, but considering that the dance is to be held at the Berthana with the ex¬cellent orchestra there and the splendid time you are bound to have the expense is small. Girls from every junior high school besides the girls from college, Weber High, and members of our own school are cordially invited to attend the girls' dance that night. Have your money in before Friday, however, so that there will be Enough to finance the dance. Remember, girls, Friday at the Berthana, January 26!—Emily Mer¬rill. SCHOOL PLAY Can you imagine some of our Classmates imitating grown-ups? If ytu can you will want to see "The Importance of Being Earnest." If you can't you will want to see this play anyway, to convince yourself that they can act grown up. Students, this play is put on by the best talent this school or even this city has to offer. It is in the hands of most capable and expe¬rienced director, Miss Woolley. Moreover, it is a play that will hold the interest of both young and old. Make it a point to see this play. You owe yourself the treat. The time, Saturday, January 20, eight- fifteen; the place, Washington Jun¬ior auditorium.—Elva Miller. CAN YOU IMAGINE Mrs. McKey without her hand on her hip. Ferron Knapp not wise¬cracking. Mr. Thornley with wavy hair. Mr. Merrill saying, "hello" to me. A romance in Mr. Stewart's third period art class. Mr. Widdison being angry at our second period history class. Miss Jones, having fel¬lows in the cafeteria at noon. Mr. Peterson without his daily stories. Mr. Kapple without a smile for everyone in the hall. Reed Berrett walking in the sewing class. Ruth Leonard making "doll clothes. Doro¬thy Hall laughing or smiling. Grant Jensen without his philosophy. The school notes without a Nose-all article in it—(Well—here's one). Beverly Brown not going to the Accolade. An assembly without noise. The band going to Price, Utah, for three days. Gene H. com¬ing to drill on time?—Oh! We've been Around. EX LIBRIS Members of Ex Libris offered then- congratulations to three lovely pledges who were accepted at a meeting held Wednesday, January 10. They are: Dora Thompson, Helen Bremerderfer and Delores Rowland. An interesting program was given in honor of these new members and we wish them lots of success in their future work with the club.—Reporter, Lois Geiger. Mrs. Katie Jenson of Salt Lake City spoke at our regular girls' as¬sembly Monday. She gave a beau¬tiful talk on "Charm." As she is most charming herself, she had the rapt attention of every girl in the audience. ANGELO PATRI We regard Angelo Patri as one of the most likeable, sympathetic, help¬ful men of this age. He is a school teacher of many years standing, a writer of repute and a pastmaster of child psychology. As his articles appear in almost every newspaper and his voice is heard very frequent¬ly over the radio, it is the privilege of every one in this great country of ours to know Angelo Patri. In our opinion, every one should know him and get a taste of the fine i philosophy he teaches. He is an ardent lover of children and youth and his great aim in life seems to be to develop in parents and teach¬ers a wholesome, sympathetic regard for the young. THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1934. Humor To Be Freed On Stage "The Importance of Being Earnest" Will Be Seen Twice OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Our school play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," to be given in the South Washington auditorium by the O.H.S. drama classes, is an English comedy. The play is cen¬tered around the word "earnest.'; The first act takes place in the apartment of Algernon (Fred Nickson). Jack (Anthon Yarbrough) comes to propose to Gwendolyn. (Ruth VanDyke) who thinks Jack's real name is Earnest. Lady Brack¬nell (Louise Linton) does not ap¬prove of Jack. Algernon found out Jack had a beautiful ward, Cecily, (Marion Wilson) but Jack will not let him meet her. One of the characters plays the part of him¬self and also that of his brother. This adds immensely to the enter¬tainment of the play. We have two everlasting wise-cracking butlers, (Stanley Mansfield and Woodrow Lewis). Come on everybody and see the play which is under the won¬derful supervision of Mary Woolley. It is January 19-20 at eight-fifteen and your choice of 25c or 50c sets. —L. M. J. SENIOR PICTURES Once again we must pen a brief reminder to the hesitating and bash¬ful members of the senior class. Queer as it may seem, apparently some of our Seniors are frightened to death at the mere thought of having to undergo the dreadful ordeal of having their pictures taken. Judging from the rate at which the Senior class members are handing in their cuts for the year¬book, this is the only conclusion which may be arrived at. Seriously speaking, however, it is really .important that we receive these pictures at once. Saturday marks the end of the time set for the submitting of these cuts, and from present indications there will be a great number of pictures still unreceived at that time. Seniors, if you have not already paid a visit to the photographer do so at once. Those of you who have already had your picture taken se¬cure the cuts immediately and hand them to Miss Osmond before the end of the week.—Norman Carroll. "BLACK" Novi Poetae nominates Benjamin F. Gardner, author of "Black," (issued by the Caxton Press of Caldwell, Idaho) as most interesting speaker who has been to O.H.S. Our friends, interested in poetry second the nomination and confirm the opinion. Mr. Gardner's poetry is outstand¬ing in that it vividly portrays the ideas, ideals, and emotions of the black race. It deals sympathetically with the problems of the black race to which Mr. Gardner belongs. He interpreted his poetry beautifully (a thing some poets seem unable to do to the entire satisfaction of the listeners) and made some of us amateurs so enthusiastic we longed to get out pen and paper and to be¬gin writing. Novi Poetae heartily thanks Mr. Gardner and hopes he will be able to be with us again.—Novi Poetae. LOS LORITOS Los Loritos are very proud to in¬troduce to you our new members. Alice Afflick, Lillian Andrews, and Helen Afflick. We sincerely hope that these girls will be happy and that they will enthusiastically join with us, not only to receive more knowledge of Spanish, but also to do all they can in helping with the promotion of school activities. By the way girls, as you all know, O.H.S. is having a big dance the 26th. Let's show the boys that we have more enthusiasm than they have, and let's all get behind the Accolade and make it a glorious, success. It's the very best party of | the year and I'm sure you fair damsels can find some hero, espe-cially now that the basketball sea- son is on. If the first boy you ask refuses, try another. Mrs. Jensen said that the seventh one might be your husband, and you know, "There's safety in numbers." So let's go, and we'll see you all there. Hasta la baile.—Solamente mi. ACCOLADE The meaning of this word is em¬brace. I can't imagine why the girls chose that name for their annual frolic, but maybe there's a reason. We'll have to attend and find out, Seriously, girls, please do ask a boy. Just remember that there is some boy that would love to go with you. If you have picked out the boy, but are afraid to ask him, see Virginia Tribe. She'll ask him for you. Please come and have the lovliest evening of your life.— Charlene Woods. DEBATING WORK The Ogden High school may be quite proud of the way in which it carries on relations with other high schools. Not only does it hold ath¬letic contests but it enters into mental contests also. On Tuesday two of our students went to the West Side High school to debate on the question, Resolved: That inter- scholastic athletics should be abol¬ished. Two West High debaters came here. The debates at both places were held during regular class periods. Both here and there our teams were given the decisions. We thank West for the kindness shown towards our representatives and hope that more contests can be held in the future. Contestants were: Gordon Hudson. Dwight Parkinson, Delwyn Rass- mussen, and Russell Harris. SECOND SEMESTER Second semester begins next Monday January 22nd. Classes will suffer no interruption whatever as there are very few changes in registra¬tions. TUITION SCHOLARSHIP The Colorado State school of Mines offers a tuition scholarship to a Utah student. If interested see Mr. Merrill. PEN FOUND Miss—Mrs. (?) Rae Foulger is asked to call at high school office and get her pen which was picked up on Twenty-fifth street. |
