FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1934. Peace Leaves When Mother Cleans House No Rest Can Be Found At School Or Home In Spring Season OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Now that spring has come (?) most of us want to go home after school. After a long day at school the mention of home tarings a glad thought to the weary pupil. We are almost sure that we will find no typewriters, textbooks, stairways, or teachers within the four walls of our homes. A new problem, however, has arisen. Our mothers have begun to clean house! Nothing is more dis-gusting to the high school student. Thus, when we go home mother takes our books and hands us a scrub¬bing brush or a broom. For the rest of the afternoon we can be found on our knees wielding the brush at a fast rate. Does anyone know where we can go to be peaceable? If we stay at school, there is always a typewriter or a textbook to be used. If we go home dirty floors and walks de¬mand our undivided attention. Where can we go?—Blaine Larsen. FINALISTS CHOSEN David L. Stine, prominent attorney, acted as judge of eliminations in the Lewis oratorical contest , Wednesday. Blaine Larsen's speech, "Abolition of Child Labor," and Grant Burton's "Call of a New Era" , were the two winning orations. , Grant and Blaine will travel to Davis county high April 18 to compete against representatives from Weber county, Box Elder and Davis county High schools. The first prize winner will receive a gold watch; the second prize winner, a pin; while the winning school will receive the loving cup which Ogden High has in its possession. Bring back the bacon—boys!—M. P. SUGGESTION We need more vocational subjects taught in high school than are taught now. It is estimated that one person out of every five goes on to college. Why not teach radio, sales¬manship, journalism, debating or some subject pertaining to profes¬sional life to give these other per¬sons a chance to get some sort of work when they go out into life? Next year if some different subjects are taught, let them be vocational, not liberal.—J. B. SCHOLARSHIP OFFERED Leland Monson, debating instruc¬tor at Weber college, is furthering the interest of Ogden High students in public speaking. Mr. Monson is offering a year's scholarship at Weber college for the best oration given on April 28. To insure abso¬lute fair play, the oration will be given twice, before two sets of judges. The oration may be on any sub¬ject, so it should not be difficult to work up a fine speech. The manu-script must be ready to hand to Mr. Monson by April 26.—M. P. UNUSUAL DISTINCTION Ogden High has always had a name for unusual talent in all lines of endeavor. Our students seem to delight in "crashing the gates" into bigger things than the school af¬fords. The latest "gate crasher" wrote an article that found its way between the covers of the April 7 issue of high school weekly. In this special Travel issue of the magazine, Dorothy Grant, a junior at Ogden High, was the author of an article entitled "The House on Wheels," which is found in the Round Table department. This is the first time for many years, in the opinion of the instructors, that an Ogden stu-dent has had a like honor. The publication of Dorothy's article should be an added incentive toward more and better writing. Congratu¬lations, Dorothy.—Blaine Larsen. TONIGHT Tonight makes the greatest event of the year—the Classicalia. This year it will be larger and more beautiful than ever before. As you all know, the theme is nursery rhymes. Every one is coming in costume—wear anything you have and come and have a good time. Al¬ways before the big event of the dance—the pageant—has come at nine or ten o'clock, but this year it was rearranged to help all of you. The pageant will begin promptly at eight-thirty. Having it at this time will leave you a full evening for dancing. Please be there early, as a huge crowd is expected. Tell your friends and parents that are coming about the pageant being at eight- thirty—that is most important! The tickets are 35c, and of course each one is expected to buy his own. These tickets may be purchased at the door. However, it would be wiser to obtain your ticket at school, for you mustn't be late for the pageant which is the most wonderful ever put on before. The scene for the pageant is the dining hall of the King of Hearts, and it is at the end of this that you find out which Dorothy is really queen. QUESTIONS Things I would like to know: Don't you think "Dorothy" makes a swell queen? I do. How am I going to spend my vacation week? Will some one help me out? What makes Grant R. late for so many classes? Where all the roller skates are? If Davis and Weber county High schools can afford an opera why O. H. S. can't? Are we going to let two county schools of our vicinity out do us? Now I ask you!! Are we??? Why the vocal contestants weren't allowed to sing both numbers at the try-outs last Monday night?? I'd give my misplaced eyebrow to know? Why I'm never able to get a date with Bernice Fowles? I'll be seein ya.—Kling Klung. MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1934 Plans Made By Nations For Conflict Writer Thinks Indians Had Best Idea Regarding War Start OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Instead of the regular drill prac¬tice, a special assembly in which Mr. Fowle was the speaker was giv¬en on Army day. Mr. Fowle, who was a commissioned officer of the regular army, spoke on war, its aspect in the days of knights, its possibility of coming before the World war, and its possibilties of coming again. Mr. Fowle said war used to be the regular thing; it was a means of livelihood for thousands of soldiers and a source of revenue for the kings. Gradually the ideas of the thinking men began to be used and war was substituted by treaties and arbitrations. But Europe, which was thought to be securely bound by a network of alliances and treaties, broke its bonds and became a seeth¬ing mass of fighting demons. So it is today. There are treaties, agreements and all sorts of other preventatives of war but at the same time every nation is striving to outdo its neighbor in prepara¬tion for a greater war than any yet fought. War is an unnecessary evil pro¬moted by the politician and bit¬terly paid for by the people. Some¬times I think that the Indians were more civilized before we came to America than we are even today. Before a war the Indian squaws voted to see whether their sons and husbands should subject-themselves to possible death by going into a state of war.—J. B. CONTEST PLACES In our school we have a number of students very interested in mu¬sic. Some, if given a chance could and would make a name for dear old O. H. S. For some reason that is beyond my knowledge they are not given that chance. It seems the graduat¬ing student is given the preference. This keeps the student that really could "bring home the bacon" from ever making a name for the school or himself. This' is very discourag¬ing to the student who has been trying very hard to succeed. I consider it very unjust to give the graduating student preference. Give the job to the student who can really do it regardless of whether he is graduating and O. H. S. will receive many more honors, which she should.— One Who Knows. Note: Unless I am greatly mistak¬en two of the vocal soloists in the state musical contest are juniors, Mary Vance and Chester Christensen.—Ed. SMOKER SUCCESS The fact that four hundred attended the smoker last WednesdljM night proves the success of thte event. No doubt a good time was enjoyed by all. The first few event were tame but after that there en-M sued some bloody battles. Tom Childs surprised many by easily ou maneuvering his opponent, Carter. Several complete knockouts were witnessed, wherein the victims had I to be revived. Then was staged ft wrestling bout. It appeared slightly affected but furnished great amusement. Several other mild matche took place and then antagonism developed between Ogden and Weber bystanders because of the apparent foul play of a Weber man. Thi dispute was finally settled and an other wrestling bout was announeed This match was genuine enouh. Dan Milligan proved his worth against an apparently more experienced wrestler. This event wufl probably enjoyed more than any and resulted in a victory for Dan. Weber challenged Ogden to another smoker two weeks hence and It I was accepted with enthusiasm. Will hope it will prove as successful tsl this one.—Eugene Poulter. MUSIC Music, the essence of all thlnp terrible and beautiful and pure, It strikes to the heart and n And soothes the wound with own tears. In one moment it exalts and And then weeps for its own in consistency. It brings oblivion to the sufferer, And is blessed for its comforts; It brings mockery to the restleS And is crucified for its truth; It jeers at the fickle and insin- And is shamed at its imae onjl the minds of men.-Sheila. ASSEMBLY Assembly was called to order by President Jensen. Jack Doone made an announcement concerning then boys' tennis tournament. As the Nsembly was sponsored by the yetr book staff, Norman Carroll, editor, took charge of the program. A clever puppet show was ven, with outstanding students and teachers represented by expertly manipulated puppets. Mrs. Northrup, who so entertained us in an assembly in the past, agitiif favored us with an original retd Kenneth Brizzee, saxaphone iotist in the state musical comefcfl then played us a number. From tfaejfl excellent way in which he wrfga-ted we may be sure that hewlUftnM a fine showing in the conteI M. P.
