Autumn Seems Time For New Resolutions Pupils Advised To Make This School Year Most Successful OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Marjorie Wood, Editor Perhaps you don't know it but Friday is the fir3t day of autumn, a season of football, pumpkin pie, mountain hikes, etc., amidst cool, refreshing days. It's the season to make your school year resolutions, mainly to be prepared and to be on time. Make this year the best that you have ever had and contribute your part by giving the school your best support.-Phylllis Abplanalp. HOW! .HOW! How do you get down from an elephant's back? JUNIOR CLASS MEETING Although the Junior class meeting Monday night was devoid of the fairer sex it was in a business way a huge success. Possibly it was because of the girls' absence that so much business was taken up in the time used, for all the attention of the boys was for once centered upon the actions taken by the chair. The meeting was called to order by President Grant Jensen and because there was no previous business ho at once turned to the order of the day. The main issue was of the water fight to be held at Liberty park Thursday night. The fight was explained and all methods of attack were discussed. It was tlien moved that we think further of the fight and discuss it again in the meeting Wednesday night. Seniors-nothing was said of retreat.-Jack Bennett. CONGRESS I The first meeting of Congress U called to order by President Cheesman. A debate was decided upon for next meeting with Ann Pingree, Ellen Glines, Kathryn Skeen and Lois Smalley taking part. To nil senior and junior girls interested in debating we wish to extend an invitation to attend our meeting next Monday at seventhly v p. m. In room 300.-Kathryn Skeen. FORUM Practically all of the other clubs or Ogden High have already adver-l Used their cause in the Notes, but as usual the best comes last. This! last Is "The" club of Ogden High; Forum. Yes. Forum Is still on the map and going strong toward another successful year. Two meetings have been held thus far. Com- petltlve debates have already begun among the waiting list for the privilege of becoming a Forum member. Now, folks. Just sit back in your chairs and take it easy until you j hear from us again. Abyssinia!- XXX. INTER NOS CLUB i On Monday, September 19, the Inter Nos club held its season's first meeting The purpose was to elect . its numerous officers and to ap- ' point the first program committee which starts working immediately for the following session. Those elected to the offices are: Imperator, Bob Smith; Quaestor, Grant Aade- son; Scriba, Ruth Dyer; Censor, Norman Carrol; Regina Festivitatis, Bobbie Kimball. Roland Stone, ' Ralph Berret, and Dwight Parkin- 1 son were appointed as the program ' commitee, and were all looking for- 1 ward to a big opening meeting.- 1 Ruth Dyer (Sriba). VEXING PROBLEMS ! Trying to find little sisters. , Trying to decide which club to give up. Trying to find seats in assembly, when you know that the alumnae have them all. Automatically looking up at the clock to read two o'clock. - B. T. Girls! Please do not change your little sisters for any reasons of any kind! TEACHERS AND TEACHING There is a tendency in places to put the salary of the teacher on a level with that of unskilled labor. This practice disregards the fact that teaching is a profession. Unless checked, it will lower the satus of the teacher, principal and superintendent and will have a disastrous effect on the efficiency of the schools. To offset this effect, teachers and patrons must be assured that teaching is a leading profes-1 sion and regarded by lawyers and physicians as being on a par with that of law and medicine. Should teaching lose its professional status, the depression salary would be continued indefinitely. The outlook on life on the part of leaders in finance and industry seems to go up and down with the markets. Let us thank God that teachers can take the broader view. Their faith does not drop with' prices. It does not change with every wind that blows. It continues to look up and ahead. It inspires youth with ideals in time of famine as in time of plenty. It is this faith that holds the line when other forces drop back. The teacher is the savior of the people.-J. W. Crabtree. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries and disappointments under a pleasant smile. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them. Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don't argue. It is the mark of superior minds to disagree and yeti be friendly. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and refuse to ialk of another's vices. Discouragei gossip. Make it a point to say nothing to another unless it is something good. Be careful of others' feelings. Wit at the other fellow's expense is rarely worth the effort, and may .hurt where least expected. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live so! that nobody will believe them. Dis- ordered nerves and bad digestion j are common cause of back-biting. Don't be too anxious about getting your just dues. Do your work, be patient, keep your disposition sweet, forget self, and you will be respected ancj rewarded.-Maurine Shaw. TO GRADUATES The Ogden High school office gladly sends gratis a complete transcript of high school credits to any institution which the graduate may wish to enter. As all colleges require transcript direct from this office, we do not furnish a transcript to student. Ogden High's recommending grade for college is B. After the first transcript a charge of twenty-five cents is made for each additional transcript. (Stamps are acceptable.) Kindly designate the school you will attend and we shall forward credits promptly.-A. M. Merrill. FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1932. Advisors Elected at Meeting of Juniors Second Gathering of Class Presided Over By New Officers OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Marjorle Wood, Editor The peppy and spirited juniors held their second class meeting oi the year on Wednesday in the gym The new class officers took charge of the group, with President Grant Jensen presiding. Secretary Evans Stuart read the minutes of the previous meeting. These having teen approved, the students turnec to the order of the day, that oi electing class advisors. After many heated discussions and conflictiom among those present, the advisors were selected-Mrs. Chambers anc Mr. Thornley. Congratulations tc two splendid advisors! President Jensen appointed two parliamentarians to enforce order during junior meetings, which designates thai there might be too much pep. A1 this point in the assembly the girls were excused, while the boys mysteriously planned to sop the seniors. Finally, when it was definitely decided to put those objectionable seniors in their place, the meeting was adjourned.-B. B. SOMEONE SAID Flatter is a sort of moral peroxide-it has turned many a woman's head. Sympathy is all right except for personal use. Everyone can master a grief but he that his it.-Janet Fife. CONSTRUCTION Much construction is going on in back of this institution. The field in back is being enlarged and if it is ever cleared out to the correct size it will be sodded and become a football, baseball, track and drill field. Then maybe the footballers can practice without eating so much dust (wonderful how fooball improves the appetite). Well, we only hope they make a quick job of it. So far-so good.- Elmer Zilch. COUNCIL REPORT Regular council meeting was called to order by President Anderson; the roll was called, the minutes wre read and approved. The constitutions of the following clubs: I-Wannan-O, Forum, and Carpe Diem, were reported through the committee chairman, Miss Dorothy Paine, thus making them official school clubs for this year. I-Wannan-O and Forum had permission from Mr. Merrill for night meetings. Time - Forum, Monday, seven-thirty; I-Wannan-O, Wednesday, seven-fifteen. It was moved and seconded that a report of the finance committee be submitted in the, next meeting. After a close race, Le Roy Hart won over Ronald Moshier for the position of athletic manager. By a motion the student body ballot concerning the amendment to the constitution was set for one week from Wednesday. A motion was made that copies of the amendment be presented- to each council member to acquaint his room with the proposed change. The motion passed. It was moved and seconded that the chair appoint three members to work on the social committee. Miss Marian Cheesman, Miss Maude Marian Barker, and Frank Martin were appointed. Paul Bramwell was unanhmisly elected yell leader for the year. By a motion, the president appointed five members to act on the pep committee for bonfires, etc., before each league game. Those selected: Paul Bramwell, Jack Long, Gus Becker, Jack Wilcox, and Grant Jensen. j The president suggested that all students watch the school notes to prepare for the election of the editor of council. A motion was made that E. S. Smith, advisor, give a talk in as- i sembly concerning the needed sale of student body tickets. The motion' passed. After article three of the constitution was read by the secretary, the meeting adjourned by a motion. !-Wendell Fowler. SENIOR CLASS MEETING Order seems to be a lost art jwith the seniors, as aptly demonstrated by a few of the super-in- j: telligent. Grant Goddard's powerful j voice does take effect occasionally, however, and we finally grasped the jfact that we (the girls) had been j most thoughtfully invited to join the male sex on the west side of the 1 library. The usual minutes were ' read but no attempt was made to 'j call the roll and then out of the ' uproar it was made known that ; elections were in order for advisors. ; An exceptionally wise choice (con- ; sidering the emotions of the water- " light filled er-er-men) were Mr. ' Widdison and Mrs. Newcomb. The committee for the water- ' fight made a favorable report (for " the seniors) and after the general- upheaval and subsidence a motion i was made to find new designs for class pins and rings. Due to some pressing unknown business of the ! stronger sex, the subject was left to germinate in the brains of the multitude. A committee was appointed to look for clever ideas, con- ' sisting of the three senior class officers, Dora Bundy, Dorothy Paine, and Wendell Fowler. At this juncture the girls were ignominously told to scram. (We hope they had a nice, argumentative time).-M. J. W.j VAGRANT THOUGHTS Well, what did you do this sum- ; mer? We spent the summer reading good books and drinking cold- milk. With all the elections going around the hight school, Marvin ' Bingham remarks, "Politics is funny." (Sounds like horrible grammar, by the way). If he had said, "Politics are phony," we would have , beaten a path to his doorway, or something. And if someone doesn't make Dale a colonel for that, "As you were," crack, there ain't any justice. Pet antipathy: The Classicalia sign over the east hall. It's misspelled. We have one of Mr. Kasius' books. He may be gone, but we'll bet he hasn't forgotten. The maps in Dave Wangsgard's room may not be the ones Columbus drew, but they are original reproductions, at least. The college advertising force deserves to be complimented. Their slogan, "Will you be there?" was on every tongue. Asa matter of fact it almost gagged me. (Another nasty crack.) P. N. (Please note): There is no scandal in this column.-B. T. ROAD TO HAPPINESS Keep skid chains on your tongue; always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How you say it often counts for more than what you say. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. Praise good work done, regardless of who did it. ! If criticism is merited, criticize I helpfully, never spitefully. Be interested in others; interested in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes, their families. Make merry with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who weep. Let everyone you meet, however hum-, ble, feel that you regard him as a person of importance. |
