WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1934. Matinee Will Be Played By School Cast; 'Hobgoblin House' Will Be Presented Friday Afternoon OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett— Associate Editor In addition to the Friday and Saturday evening performances of 'Hobgoblin House," a special matinee is to be given after the parade, Friday afternoon at two-thirty. Admission is only ten cents so all those who have previous engage¬ments for Friday and Saturday night or who plead that the admission price is too high, are invited to see this exceptional play at the mat-inee. I'll see you there, students.—M.P. BUSINESS CO-OPERATION With the coming of the NRA the national recovery administration, President Roosevelt has given the country a new deal. The NRA will surely aid the laboring class as it will shorten their hours of work and will also increase their normal wage. It will also aid the business man as it demands fair play in business. However, there is a great question being discussed throughout the en¬tire world: Will the NRA succeed the old social order and replace it with a better one? Is the co-operative system, in which the employer and the em¬ploye are truly fellow partners, bet¬ter than the present system of busi¬ness management, the giant corpora¬tion? These are two of the great ques¬tions of the day. To begin the discussion, let me say that the ultimate goal of co¬operation is to create a social order in which production will be for use and not for profit, to abolish ex¬ploitation, to curb selfishness and individualism. Co-operation will be for use and not for profit as the laborers will, in addition to receiving their wages, not have to pay the expenses of keeping the landowners and cap¬italists in money. The great dis-advantage in this is that the power and responsibility will not be cen¬tralized and there will not be the keen management found in a corporation. It will abolish exploitation by con¬trolling the improving of lands by the majority instead of the minority. 'Exploitation is no longer a public opinion, but only a middle class and a working class opinion—the first founded on the exploitation by the minority of the popular masses, the other based on truth, justice, and morality."—Scotsman. It will curb selfishness and in¬dividualism as one man cannot rise into power both in politics and in wealth, in this system of co-operation. However, there will always be in¬dividualism. Some men are more intelligent, more forward, and are braver than those of the common class. These men will forge ahead while the others stay behind and look on. I do not think that true co-operation could be achieved. The man with the initiative cannot be held back. He deserves more than the man with the lesser ability. The in¬dustrial organization today is one of the best examples of co-operation. Each man is fitted for his task. The man with the brains who has the responsibility of the business upon his shoulders must earn more than the laborer or he would just as soon become a carefree laborer. The laborer has only to worry about his job while the capitalist will not only look out for his job, but he must also bear the respon¬sibility and the risks of the business. I think the present economic sys¬tem, although weak in places, puts each man in his proper position to conduct our modern affairs. I do not think that the NRA is bringing a new social order but is only correcting the faults in the old. To be sure the old system has been abased but so would any form of government. It is well known that highly cap¬italized America has the highest liv¬ing standard in the world. Does this mean that our economic system is failing? The facts speak for themselves. The NRA has made a 'good boy" out of bad business and has aided the laboring class. President Roose-velt in his new deal has corrected the faults in the old system; and now, seeing that conditions are changing, has returned to the course followed by some of the former presidents. His NRA has sent us on a better scale of living with all the advan¬tages of the present business system included. This is truly a greater America headed by a great president.—Fred Nantker. Editor's Note: Students; the above essay tells the entire story of a great national question in an interesting, comprehensible manner. Read it, and better your knowledge of ques¬tions of world wide discussion. ASSEMBLY The special assembly was called to order by President Jensen who an¬nounced that all pupils desiring yearbooks must have their entire price paid by May 21. Take heed, students. If you miss this annual is-sue of the Classicum, you will be deprived of a priceless possession. As the speaker of the day, we had with us, our old friend ex-Mayor Ora Bundy, who gave a very in-spiring speech on citizenship and loyalty. I am sure that after listening to him, there is plenty of food for thought in the minds of all of us. Gene Hawkes, playing a cornet solo, "A Dream" gave a very fine flavor to the end of the assembly. B beauty E efficiency R reliance T truthfulness H honesty A ability B blissfulness A ambition R responsibility K knowledge E eloquence R righteousness. These letters spell the name of a girl who will do her part in making O.H.S. a bigger and better school. Bertha Barker for vice president. NICKNAMES After hearing all the pet names we students have for one another, one sometimes wonders why we were blessed with such fine names as William, Thomas and John. Surely we don't use these nick¬names for identification. One walks down the hall and hears right and left names being sung, yelled, whispered, and cooed at all sorts of students. Behind you someone yells, "Hello Heavy!" You turn around expecting to see a fellow, monstrous size, glar¬ing at the insinuation that he is in the least fat. Instead you discover that the per¬son whose pet name was called is a small, dainty girl of from one hun¬dred to one hundred ten pounds. A great many students around the school, both boys and girls, have come to be called "Swede," signifying that the person is of that na¬tionality. In reality, these students range from Irish to the steady English. If we are inclined to cast aside our real names, then, suppose we choose some that in some way or other fit! —Blaine Larsen. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1934. Call Sounded For Payments On Yearbooks Ggden High School Will Soon Get Copies of Publication Students of Ogden High school here is a very important announce¬ment, at least to those who have paid a deposit on their yearbooks. By the twenty-fifth of May, the remaining money must be paid to Mr. Robins, or else— You see, it is this way—lists must be completed, containing the names of all the students who have paid their full amount. .These students will receive their books on the day they come out, but those students who have not paid what they owe will be left off the first list, and thus will not receive their books un¬til a day or two late. These priceless possessions should be (and are) anxiously awaited by every student, especially seniors, so you had better hurry up.—M.P. SOLITUDE . Solitude is sometimes an ideal condition. It provides opportunity for real thinking and spending one's time profitably. It seems that work can be done more efficiently and rapidly while alone. The place I like to spend my solitary hours is at home. I cherish the idea of being alone in a house with a glowing fireplace, an easy chair, and a good book, or with¬out a book, an opportunity to think or solve my problems is afforded. However, solitude cannot always be regarded as such a delightful pastime. When alone, the imaginary powers increase to such a degree of misapprehension that terrifying thoughts cpme to mind, haunting and even crazing a person. Sounds otherwise unknown, stir the air; gruesome figures take pe¬culiar shapes before the eye, and altogether present a most horrify¬ing scene. In spite of its somewhat ghastly aspects it seems to be a delightful dessert after having been pampered by relentless and increasing tor¬ments and advice of mankind- Louise Young. EXPERIENCE AS SPECTATOR For the past week our English class has been studying a few of the "spectator papers." I was so in-spired that I desired to become a spectator. For two days I have been silently observing the students of Ogden High school. Noting an increasing number of yawns, I discovered that it is May, and that roses seem to be the prop-er thing to adorn one's lapel or shoulder. But at this point my observations were interrupted by a friend asking me. if I would please vote for a particular candidate for student body president. In order to continue with my ob¬servations it is necessary for me to answer "yes," because if I decline to vote for their friend, I am forced to listen to a 10-minute talk on the merits and talents of the can¬ didate. So, I tell all the friends of candidates that I will vote as they suggest. I notice that some students can tell you the exact number of days 'till school is dismissed, but I can¬not, for I never tax my brain with such complex problems, and I am content to call the figure four weeks. The most important topic with the senior giris is graduation and their graduation dresses (especially dress¬es), but I am "just a junior" and I cannot explain the significance of the dresses. I have a weakness for giving my opinions on various situations and am therefore an unsuccessful spec-tator; for I cannot silently observe. —La Ru Frustone. Dear Nose-All: Would you please tell me where we may have the name cards printed for announce-ment cards? Thank you.—Senior. Dear Senior: Any commercial printer will print name cards for the announcement cards for a very nominal sum.—Nose All. MORE MUSIC PROMISED On Monday next we arc to have the great pleasure of hearing a musical program presented by the students of the University of Utah. Having heard the B. Y. university we are anxious to hear from Utah's big school. Ogden High aims to be a demo¬cratic institution and to regard all students with equal favor. Because one has a brilliant mind is no excuse for heaping upon him special honors; neither is one to be humiliated because he happens to have a slow working mind. Frequently plodders succeeed in life while brilliant ones make a sudden flurry and then fizzle out. We have come to feel that justice demands credit and praise for all who do well in accord with capaci¬ties, but that it is a hazardous prac¬tice to point out this one and that one as especially proficient, or of designating others as failures. Envy breeds malice and favoritism in a democratic society is destruc¬tive of moral principle. SPEAKER CHOSEN The following speakers have been chosen for commencement exercises Manita Clayton, Gordon Hudson, Robert Brown, Miss Ruth Van Dyke has. been selected as reader. The music department is well represent¬ed in both the commencement serv¬ice, May 27, and commencement ex¬ercises, May 31.
