FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1934. School Youths Will Present Exciting Play ''Hobgoblin House" Contains Numerous Thrill¬ing Episodes OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Hobgoblin House! Ghastly sounding, isn't it? How would you like to live in a place with such a name, or such a reputation as a house with that name would have? Wouldn't you like to find out what hap-pened to a certain group of people when they moved into Hobgoblin House, with its Bluebeard's closet blood-stained floors and screaming skulls? I'll tell you how you can follow the adventures of the Carter girls in the haunted house. Come to see "Hobgoblin House," enacted by a group of clever O. H. S. boys. It is to be presented in the Weber theatre, May 11 and 12. A special matinee performance will bo given Saturday for students. More later.— M. P. TO WEBER COLLEGE Several days ago Mr. Glenn Hanson received an invitation to enter the boys' glee club in a contest at Weber college. To one member of the winning chorus was to be presented a scholarship to Weber college for one year. Sadly enough, Ogden High was the only school with either interest enough or spirit enough to register. As it takes more than one school to form com¬petition, the contest was called off . and the scholarship award withdrawn. It is this writer's opinion that Ogden would have had the winning chorus anyway, and perhaps, if the truth is known., other high schools in this northern divi¬sion were of the same opinion. Small wonder they did not choose to compete after the praise we got at Brigham City. But the point is— if Ogden High was the only school that was interested why should the award not go to an Ogden student? —A Glee Club Member. FLOWERS WELCOME It certainly does my old heart good to see the beautiful flowers in the majority of the teachers' rooms. It isn't just the sweet odor and beauty of the flowers to which I am referring, but there is evidence of thoughtfulness and generosity on the part of the stuc'-mts. From an observation in the office recently, the sweet scent of the flowers and the knowledge that their efforts are appreciated makes the teachers have a good humor and a cheery smile all day. This fact makes school much more interesting for the stu¬dents. (Doesn't it?) Let's aid in this worthy cause. Bring flowers— to the men teachers as well as the women. Let's have a classful—no- a school, full of bright faces, cheery smiles, and mental alertness. Wot say! TAKE MUSIC Educators are now according to musical training a place above mathematics even, in the develop¬ment of mental alertness and acuteness. So famous an educator as Doctor Charles Eliot, former presi¬dent of Harvard university, said: "The sight reading of music is the best mind trainer of them all." Sight reading—and the development of the senses of tune, time and rhythm co-ordinate the eyes, ears, nerves and muscles as no other subjects can. I urge every junior that reads fchis article to enroll for vocal or instrumental music next year. — "Kling Klung" SYMPATHY Tau Eta Nu wishing to extend its sincere sympathy to two of its members, Mildred Grix and Ruth Sessions who have undergone ap¬pendicitis operations recently, too bad, girls. We wish you speedy re-covery. —Tau Eta Nu Members. We wish to add, also, the good wishes of all the students and faculty, also to Ruth Lundquist who was troubled with a similar operation. Absent Minded Professor, Mr. Smith as he met his son in the hall. "Good morning, Strat, how's your father today?" Dave Peterson: "Dorothy, can you tell me what happened in 1776? Dot Bowman: "1776! Say, I can't even remember what happened last night!" Maurie: Dixie has a head like a doorknob. Roy: How come? Maurie: Any man can turn it! HOBGOBLIN HOUSE! Two pints also make one cavort. There's always one flat tire at a blowout. Most people who get up at the crack of dawn really have to be half | cracked themselves. The old-fashioned girl who darn¬ed her hubby's socks now has a daughter who socks her darned hub-by. A cheap skate doesn't cut much ice. All of which reminds us of the henpecks version: All's fear in love and war.—Confucius Junior. SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 5, 1934. BOYS' INTEREST COMMENDED BY ARMY OFFICER Impressed By Eagerness To Learn Cadet Awards Conferred "Ogden High school ha a very good R.O.T.C. unit," declared Lieutenant Colonel Herbert L. Taylor, Thirty-eighth Infantry, Fort Doug¬las, as he concluded inspection of the local batallion late Friday af-ternoon In the city stadium. "The thing that impresses me is the interest the cadets take in their work. In some schools the boys go through the drills only because they have to. But these lads are very keen about the R.O.T.C. training." TROPHIES AWARDED Lieutenant Colonel Taylor was for several years stationed at the Staunton military academy in Virginia. The American Legion cup for attendance and neatness was awarded to the battalion band for the consecutive year. B company, com¬manded by Cadet Captain Ernest Kohler, won the Kanzler-Mills tro-phy for company drill on a rating of 86.6 per cent. C company was second and D company third in this division. The first platoon of D company, commanded by Cadet Lieutenant Norman Caroll, received the Paramount-Publix cup for platoon drill with a rating of 89.2 per cent. The second platoon of C company was second. CROWD PRESENT An audience of several hundred students, parents and school officials viewed the inspection, which lasted more than three hours. Among the visitors were several officers from a Salt Lake City high school R.O.T.C. unit, of which an inspection will be held next week. Lieutenant Colonel Taylor made the inspection. Judges of the tro¬phy contests were Major Charles L. Hughes, infantry reserve; Captain Everett M. Graves, F A, national guard instructor; Captain W. G. Dockum, F.
