Queen Must Be Charming For Carnival Difficult Task Faced In Selecting Ruler For Classicalia OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor THE MOST SUITED GIRL With the Classicalia coming very soon this brings up another very im¬portant task. This task is that of picking the most suited girl to reign supreme at the rollicking carnival. We must have a good queen who is gracious to everyone. We must fill this position with a girl who is an ideal queen in every way, includ¬ing charm, personality, poise and last but not least, beauty. A CLUB DEFENSE Many insist that clubs should be abolished because they tolerate snob¬bishness, clannishness and an un¬democratic feeling among the stu¬dents. True in some cases, perhaps, but how many boys and girls have you ever known to have broken their friendship or felt any resent¬ment toward each other because of clubs? How many individuals have you noticed who have completely dropped old comrades to associate only with club members? Not very many. For the young, any assemblage of personalities is an outlet to express themselves, to have a binding pur¬pose to keep their close association. Is it not a natural instinct for friends to form a group based on ideals and purposes and to per¬petuate those aims? If every club was abolished at high school, various organizations would immediately spring into existence without any school jurisdiction but with the power to do what the members pleased. This would be a worse situation than we have now. Also, clubs do such a great deal to uphold a school spirit and the enthusiasm and support of school functions that Ogden High would be hindered without their aid. If for no other purpose, this is reason enough to continue such fine organizations.—Emily Merrill. CONGRATULATIONS To Maurice Kennedy goes the good fortune of being elected all-state in two sports, basketball and football. Ogden has had many all-state selections in one sport but to have a fellow among us who is crowned all- state twice does not happen very often. Permit us again to offer you our congratulations.— Frantzen Todd. OBSERVATIONS Superintendent Hopkins visited John's the other day, and unexpectedly came upon several Ogden High school students industriously studying (?). The superintendent did not think that a soda fountain was conducive to good study, the library would be much better. Horror of horrors! Did you know Woodrow Lewis was a great addict? Yes, it's true—but wait a minute— he's addicted to caramel marshmallow nut sundaes, with plenty of caramel. I remember reading that Dean Jones' theme song is "Gather Lip Rouge While You May." This seems to be Strat Smith's song, too, because he says he can tell any brand, just from the taste My, what an accomplishment.—Mademoselle. HAVE YOU HEARD Arleen Ballinger's "Oh kid?" Marion Wilson's, "Now listen?" Mark Child's, "Boy, what a suit?" Leida Robert's, "Oh, I've been I around?" Edward S's, "That'll do?" Mary Pauette's "Write darn ya?" Leonard Higgin's, "Can I take it?" Henrietta Curtright's, "Don't do that?" Jack Bennett's, "In a nice, way?" —V.T. Hi ho, you merry fellows. You ! know I've been thinking (I do that; little thing every now and then) and I would like to see our school have a girl for queen that we would all be proud to have represent us in anything that might come up. You know, and so do I, that there is a bitter rivalry among the girls' clubs. However, this is one time I think this should be forgotten. I know I would want the girl I have chosen as my ideal queen to gain that honor even if she wasn't in a club.—Guess Who. OUR CADET OFFICERS Some of the junior R.O.T.C. privates seem to have given up hope of ever becoming an officer and therefore have not been studying their drill or have not had a co-op- erative spirit in maintaining dis-cipline. In investigating the cause we find they have adopted the theme song, "You've Got to be a Football Hero to Get Along in the R.O.T.C." This is far from being the truth. Out of our four captains only three are ball players. Of the four first lieutenants there is only one who was out for football. There are no second lieutenants who have made a name for themselves in football Now consider the staff. Only two of the staff are football heroes and those two and one other basketball players. This shows that a majority nf the officers are not ball players, it cannot be held against them Personally I do not think there are any privates or non-commissioned officers from last year who could do any better job than these fellows have this year. . There is plenty of chance for you fellows to get a commission so come on and show a little bit of enthus¬iasm.—Stratford Smith. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1934. Artists Win Acclaim of Ogden Public School Music Department Offering Meritorious Programs OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor The musical artists of Ogden High are enjoying a splendid period of participation in the arts. Over the week end a number of Ogden mu¬sicians took part on programs throughout the city, proving that townspeople believe in Ogden High's ( music. We have a number of musical organizations within our school, all of r them capable of performing before , the most critical of audiences. The students engaged in this art should f receive just as much support from the student body as athletics, R. O. T. C. or debating. The participation of these stu- . dents in music proves the real purpose of this art, being able, by taking part in music, to enjoy more abundantly the pleasures life has to offer.—Loraine. MELODRAMA The Hollywood players are to give a special performance of the five act melodrama, "Under the Gas Light" in the Madison school auditorium Friday evening at eight-thirty. General admission price is 25 cents or 15 cents with a student body card. The show is a knockout. Five big, glorious acts, one laugh after another. Twenty beautiful, extravagant costumes. Six scenes of magnificent new scenery. Peanuts five cents a bag.—Raymond Raty. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I want to introduce to you "Pan-socracy" a movement toward big¬ger and better intervals in which to pass from one class to another. Its instigator, J. A. Pansy (Just a pan¬sy) will be glad to speak to presi-dents, vice presidents, secretaries, treasurers, and what have you? (Of course a small fee will be charged by Just A. Pansy, but who cares?) This noble, generous, educated, wellbred, dignified person of good standing, the inventor of panso-cracy, is a member of our beloved student body and because of the many complaints by teachers, at which classes of said teachers Just A. Pansy always arrives late, Just A. Pansy invented pansocracy. (You should not condemn this pool soul. It really has good intentions and those intervals are so short;) Well here's hoping that the movement will be adopted. Thank you for your kind attention.—Just A. Pansy. P. S. Perhaps you are wondering why I have praised myself so great¬ly. If so, I say to you: "You must think well of yourself if you want others to do so, do it." Thanks again.—J.A.P. PLENTY OF PLAY All work and no play would make school a dull place. No one is being worked too much. That is certain, for in the halls of our educational institution linger students who are continually expres¬sing their happy characters. Many, especially the girls, approach friends and throw their arms around them and sometimes, evdm, affectionately kiss each other in fun. Then linking fingers together, two comrades spryly walk down the hall. Others laughingly chase each oth¬er up stairs, down stairs, in rooms, out of doors in a playful fashion to argue or dispute the rights to claim a particular object. Some giggle and have a great time laughing over the antics of a favorite or express their vivacious, enthusiastic spirit by gal¬loping on roller skates for the bene¬fit of spectators. Nearly everyone is in good humor, and their cheerful dispositions can easily be detected in such warm, in¬vigorating weather when one can radiate frivolity. And why not? These same individuals not only happen to maintain the morale the student body but a spir happiness as well. QUEER TRADITION When we look over our past Og¬den High school queens, we see we must be careful to get a wonderful one this year to keep up tradition. There is one of the senior girls who is most outstanding and she would be our ideal queen this year. This girl is Marion Wilson. Everywhere she goes she is loved, admired and respected. With her black curly hair, beautiful dark eyes and grand smile she would look the part perfectly. More important she is always the same to everyone. She is entirely unspoiled, and has a mar¬velous personality. Let"s get behind Marion for Clas¬sicalia queen.—Ike, Mike and Pike. ADELE FOR QUEEN As all of you know, it is very difficult task for a girl to suc¬cessfully fill the position of queen. There are very few girls who poss¬ess all the essential characteristics that go to make up a perfect queen. Out of all the other worthy con¬testants there is one girl especially who has charm, personality, beauty, a lovable disposition a pleasant smile for everyone, and last but not least, intelligence. This girl could be none other than Adele Larson. Adele for queen if you really want a perfect one.—Annabel Lee. A SCHOOL TREASURE The office unearthed a letter the other day that was written to Og¬den High school students in 1920 by General John J. Pershing. The letter thanks the students for a signet ring that was given him on his visit to Ogden. The part most prized, perhaps, is the general's per¬sonal signature. Autograph collec¬tors, what will you give for it? |
