Show "MONDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 19, 1932.- Teachers Urged to Furnish Leadership Would Offset Demands of Selfish Ones For Severe Slashes OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Parke Petterson, Editor Unless teachers furnish leadership in the present crisis, it will come from the wrong source and will lead in the wrong direction. The demands for disastrous retrenchment at the expense of education do not come from the great mass of informed people. They come, generally, from self seeking politicians, demagogs, the privileged few whose large incomes are temporarily reduced, and from those who are either ignorant or deceived. -F. A. Stoddard, Columbia, S. C. He who puts a smile on a lace I that bore a frown is a benefactor of mankind. He who produces a hearty laugh in a heart that was sad is well-nigh a savior. "Laugh with me but please don't laugh at me."-D. Wangsgard. "Tommy," Inquired the teacher, "what is one-fifth of three-seventeenths?" "I don't know exactly," replied Tommy, "but it isn't enough to worry about." ASSEMBLY REPORT Friday's assembly was called to order by President Anderson, who announced the following officers who will serve throughout the year: Senior class-Grant Goddard, president; Wayne Watson, vice president; Marjorie Wood, secretary. Junior class-Glen Jensen, president; George Larkin, vice president; Evans Stewart, secretary. A violin sok) was very well given by Miss Frances Stevens; Helen Sessions and Eleanor McFarlane favored us with a vocal duet. Judge Howell was introduced, and delivered an interesting and informing address on the constitution, ( tracing the steps whereby the constitution was accepted and amend- ed. Tryouts for yell leader were held and some lusty yelling ensued. I A challenge to the annual water right was made, and accepted by the junior class president, Glen Jensen. PHI LAMBDA TAU Good old Phi Lambda Tau is still on the Job. At the meeting Thursday much business was discussed and accomplished. Our advisor was elected or re-elected and he is still Mr. Dave Wangsgard. The constitution was revised and is ready for the approval of Council. See you next week at the Big Sister party. -Official Scribbler. WATER FIGHT When It's schooltime in O. H. S.,i ,&nd the seniors gather there, to plot against the juniors and give them quite a scare, there's an old- time-worn tradition that the juniors have to like when the seniors show them who's who in the good old water fight. The date of this good trouncing, the soaking and the fight, will be quite promptly after school, at four o'clock next Thursday night. So girls be down at Lester park, and fellows don't forget. Then the "high and mighty" seniors will show the juniors who's all wet!-Helen Parm- ley. NOW WE CAN EAT Miss Nelle Mealiff announces that the cafeteria will be open Monday. ANSWERED The highly enlightening intelligence test for high school students run last Wednesday in these notes shows up the intelligence of the questioner. However: A sheep after it is six years old should have died off or become a grandparent. (I wonder if there can be a joke to this?) A cannibal who has eaten his own father and mother is-naturally-an orphan. The kind of- umbrella King George carries in a raintsorm is a wet one-or maybe he uses it to keep the rain off. (Hadn't thought of that before, had you?).-M. J. W. It is only fair to say this was handed in before the answers were printed in the notes. JUNIOR MEETING Under the supervision of the student body officers of the junior class held a meeting Thursday afternoon, September 15, for the purpose of electing its officers. The meeting turned out to be very successful, with a great many juniors turning out to support their candidates. After much heated argument and discussion the following officers weer elected: Grant Jensen, president; George Larkin, vice president; and Evan Stewart, secretary. Under the leadership of these officers, the junior class expects to j have a very successful year. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE October 7-Ogden vs. Box Elder at Ogden. October 21-Ogden vs. Logan at Logan.

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1932 Seniors Prepare To Prove Superiority Great Co ntest Against Juniors Scheduled For Thursday Ogden High School Notes. Marjorie Wood, Editor. Cause: The high and mighty seniors feel it to be their solemn duty to show the insignificant juniors, lately graduated from the class of measly sophomores, a thing or two, and also to demonstrate their superiority. Act: Juniors straining, seniors straining a little, but harder on opposite ends of a rope; water pouring down from nowhere, cold ice water, shirts flying in tatters through the air; girls looking on amusedly, but each hoping hard that her O. A. O. doesn't get it too badly. Result: Seniors look rather wet and ragged, but the juniors look so much worse that there's no comparison. Juniors walk homeward feeling rather embarrassed, very much squelched, and quite a bit cleaner than usual. Don't forget the water fight Thursday night (unpaid advertisement). -HELEN PARMLEY. A-10-SHUN The good old R. O. T. C. is pushing ahead under the direction of Major Dyer, and it looks as if we shall have another banner year. Ogden High school R. O. T. C. has been an honor school for ten years and I'm sure we all want to make it eleven. Major Dyer will stand for no foolishness and so the battalion ought to be in very good shape within a few weeks. The same officers have been acting since drill started and they seem to be very competent in their positions. -ELMER ZILCH. GOOD FOR BOTH Here are some suggestions which Superintendent Hopkins offers teachers. We think they are equally good for students so we pass them on- PROMISE YOURSELF: To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your students feel that there is something in them. To look on the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about I success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past, and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times, and to have a smile ready for every living creature you 7 meet. i To give so much time to the im- _ px-ovement of yourself that you have " no time to criticize others. 3 To be too large for worry, too r noble for anger, too strong for fear, r and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. s To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds. a To live in the faith that the g world is on your side so long as , you are true to the best that is in j you. -ANONYMOUS. PHI LAMBDA TAU t Materials: Seven girls, officers 3 as follows-Bobbie Kimball, presi- _ dent; Cleone Walker, vice president; Janet Fife, secretary; Phyllis Abplanalp, reporter; Betty Gunnell, scrap-book editor, the club constitution, the minutes, club rules, k Body: The president called the . meeting to order after much delay. The minutes were read and approved after which we revised our constitution to the pleasure and . contentment of all the members, f The club rules were read by the 5 secretary and each clause explained r thoroughly. s Conclusion: The meeting ad- s journed by a motion, uttered and e over-expressed, and we abandoned j Dave Wangsgard's room (he's our _ advisor) for just one more week, j -PAM, Club Scribbler. SOME MORE QUESTIONS 1. How far is up? How full is a cup of coffee? How big is a gray shirt? NEW ENTRIES i There were some eight or ten new s students registered on Monday. The enrollment is the largest it has been s for several years. PLENTY OF OFFERS Daily the office receives offers l from orators, lecturers, entertainers to give their services to the school 1 at reduced rates. Evidently times i are hard for everybody. Speaking for ourselves we shall confess that 1 the school activity program will be very limited this year. The stu- dent body memberships thus far are i most discouraging. E FOOD t Food: It seems to me that that little word has a world of meaning : to us all. It is the first thing in the morning that comes to our minds. What is it that we all be- jgin to think about at the last of the fourth period? To sum up all this mess it is quite decided that we must eat. Some students have to buy their lunches, so why not patronize the school cafeteria. The cafeteria is run by the cooking department. Lunch is served every noon during the school year at the lowest prices possible. Let's boost the school cafeteria, students, and have more food for less money. -B. W. K. |
