Show MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1932. School Chorus and Orchestra Growing Earnest Effort Made To Develop Two Branches of Music OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES MARJORIE WOOD, Editor Yc. boys and girls, the a capella chorus Is In full swing. Did you hear them sing In assembly Friday? And without even a piano to help them. Mr, Hansen Is anxious to have more enthusiastic singers. "We mutt have quantity as well as quality,'" says Mr. Hansen. We should be proud to have students of Ogden high undertaking such a worthy subject. MARY LOUISE McKAY. Sornr students of Ogden high school do not know that this Institution has an organization that in thr future will be outstanding and WfQ make a name for Ogden high. This Is a statement from Mr. Hansen (not one statement). "I expect a larger and better orchestra this year than ever before. We have an enrollment of about 30 students and witl) plenty of hard work and prac- tlrr It will soon be one of the best." Now students, take a tip from Elmer and give the orchestra lots of support. ELMER ZILCH. BETA ZETA TAU Here we are again-where are I we? Why. we're back together again. Going to make this the best year I ever. The new officers of Beta Zeta jTau are Barbara Brown, president, (and LaVon Oarner, secretary. Our vice president will be a lucky Junior. Watch for further announcements B. F. SOMEONE SAID The secret of success is hard work. Maybe that Is why it has remained a secret to so many. If you want to forget all your other troubles, wear tight shoes. 8peak well of your enemies-remember, you made them. JANET FIFE. 24-36-99-18 A snappy signal, a lusty yell, fly- ling sod, and a mouthful of dust. I What could be sweeter? Football Is hre and "beat everybody" is written In black eyes and cauliflower ears on the grizzly visages of every gridiron warrior. But the team can't win games alone. It Is the duty of every loyal O. H. S. student to support the team at all times. We won all-state honors In basketball last year. Let's do la football, too. Coach Simkins is working hard and we have a capable squad in suits. Next Wednesday we will probably play our first game of the year against Davis high. It'll be a real fight, and the team is going to need your backing. Every senior and as many juniors as are alive after the water fight should attend the game and yell like-well, make a noise anyway. PARKE PETTERSON. HISTORIC PLAQUE 1 Has anyone ever noticed the big buffalo down by Dave Wangsgard's 1 room. (I means the plaque, not Mr. Wangsgard.) The sign says it was : presented by the class of 1916, but no one can remember anything that 1 far back, so I guess I'll have to let i that go. 1 Anyway, that old buffalo has seen plenty of history. I imagine it gets ' awfully tired of having the boys' : lockers on that side of the building year after year. I know Mr. Wangsgard does. (I can't imagine why I keep mixing Mr. Wangsgard up in this article on the buffalo, can you?) It looks like an enlarged nickel and we have a feeling if you could turn it over there would be an Indian on the other side, and, aside from a chipped spot on the lower south side, it has worn very well. Mr. Merrill says that Avard Fairbanks who made it was a youth at the time. We'll bet he is old enough to be pensioned now. Now, kiddies, tomorrow night I'll tell you . about the copy of the Declaration of Independence hanging in the library. PLEDGES A-a-ah, what fun for the senior members of Phi Lambda Tau. These little unimportant things have been pledges since last spring but they have had an easy life until this week. They are Maurine Shaw, Phyllis Abplanalp, and Shirley Wangsgard. K. SUPERIORITY SHOWN Once again the seniors demonstrated their superiority by giving the juniors their annual bath Thursday afternoon at Lester park. Junior gaped and swore as the seniors assembled in a large mass without shirts on, as their dreams of ripping cloth had been shattered (just another one of the seniors' fast ones) and disgusted looks came over their faces as they felt their shirts peeled off by the powerful strokes of the seniors. The annual water fight started with the tug-of-war, but much to the senior's disgust, the rope kept breaking and finally it was laid aside and the main event, where the juniors and seniors each receive a fire hose, started. Both classes went at it like he men, but soon the seniors gained the upper hand and held it until near the last when their water hose became cramped and refused to issue water. Then for a split second the juniors thought they had victory by the 1 horns, but the water was turned off i by the firemen. The event ended by the seniors making a series of rushes and chasing the juniors out of the park. The seniors are sure that the juniors had a lovely time at their party as it was a clean event and all the boys were good sports. I G. G. The fourth period I have English from Mrs. Wade. I don't like English so well, because I think it is too childish. The fifth period is very much enjoyed because we don't have to work hard at all. The teacher reads us something and we copy it from! the board. Miss Stephenson is the; professor in shorthand. ' The sixth and seventh periods are well spent in the library chewing gum and copying down the names and addresses of the most famous men's and women's colleges. NOTE BOX It is quite evident that some stu dents in high school don't know what the little orange and black box by the bulletin board is for. It Is for you to use. If you have some "Catty Chat," notices, club reports, humor, or Just news, drop It in the box. It will most likely go in the notes If it possesses any literary! merit. Olve the notes your support,! jrou have to read them.-B. K. Lost-At the 1931 Classlcalia, a beautiful bow and arrow-handsomely carved. This was used as a part of the decorative scheme, and the owner would like very much to have It returned. If anyone knows anything about these will he not' kindly communicate with the highf ichool office? YES, WE KNOW Now you know: Up Is far, far up. And u nip of cofiee is brimful. A gray suit is big enough to fit. What s mot e you don't get down off an elephant's back, you get down from a duck's back. -Nosey. THE ANNUAL WATER FIGHT , (As Seen by a Junior) The duty of every junior was to keep a close eye on the seniors and oppose the ones whom we, thought worthy of opposition. Keep this motive, juniors, forever. Down those seniors. After breaking the rope three times, each class took a fire hose and tried to wash each other off the field. After a heavy charge the juniors were successful in capturing the opposing hose. The seniors were washed off the park like so many leaves After the water fight, there followed a free-for-all, and when the two I classes emerged what they had on was a shame, orvI should say, what they didn't have on was a shame. And so the water fight came to an end, and let's hope we juniors have more success next year than the seniors had this year. EVAN STEWART. ASSEMBLY REPORT Friday's assembly presented a varied and interesting program and a real challenge in living for the students. The assembly was called to order by President Anderson, and the following announcements were made: Roland Stone announced three vacancies in the Quarterly staff and explained about the tryouts for these positions. Ellen Glines announced a Congress party. Ed Smith presented the student body ticket problem and asked for the wholehearted support of the student body in purchasing tickets. A fine musical number was rendered by the a capella chorus, followed by a splendid clarinet solo by one of high school's talented students, Donald H. Banks. The guest speaker of the day was Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins. ; Mr. Hopkins spoke on "The Ten : Commandments of Sportsmanship," I which pertain not only to sports but ' to all places of civic life as well. ; PARKE PETTERSON. ; MY EXPERIENCE The following theme was handed to an English teacher last week. We publish it in our notes not as an example of English composition ,but as a reflection of an attitude toward school and its offerings. SUBJECTS AT O. H. S. This theme is about my five major subjects that I have to deal with at the Ogden High school, Ogden Utah. Drill is first in the morning; it starts 'at approximately eight-twenty-five. Our instructor (Major Dyer) always has his hands on his hips, looking at us. He hasn't laughed since he has taught drill. By the time we get out of high1 school, we should be just like wood-! en soldiers. Besides, the commands that we have to obey, we have to be always on the lookout for large boulders hurtling through the air. Our bugler is as yet not as good as he could be, but we hope that he will improve. After that strenuous first period, I go to Spanish. Miss Greene starts rattling some words off and expects the students to do the same. If I pass in this subject, I shall have my old Spanish custom to thank for it. The third period class is the class I enjoy best of all my subjects. I fake typewriting from Mr. Farnsworth this period. Due to the teacher and students, I like this .subject best. TUESDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 27, 1932. First School Dance Of Season Get-Acquainted Party Will Be Conducted In Berthana Hall OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Barbara, Kimball, Editor Good news is welcome to us and guess what it is? The get-acquainted dance is to be held Friday night, September 30, in the Berthana ballroom. Student body cards will admit students. This is the first dance of the season, so "let's make it a success. Get your dates now. No one likes to be asked at the last minute-K. HOSS-SHOE! During the children's hour (after three-thirty Friday) Ed Smith and Mr. Taggart played a game of horseshoes with Major Dyer and A. M. Merrill. Ed Smith gave the scientific point of view by making blue ozone without the use of electricity. Mr. Taggart wafted on the breeze that French tang which pops like the cork of a champagne bottle. Ed Smith's team won the first set without any love. Major Dyer expressed himself in a military manner by "taking care of that one man" and making the next game by a large score. Mr. Hales and this uninterested spectator left quite suddenly when the two teams launched into the third game. As we left, the ambulance drove around the corner, and I suspect that Mrs. Irwin had something to do with it. -Max Burt. CENTER OF CONVERSATION Water! Water! everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Much debate, discussion and distraction has been wasted on the outcome of the late water fight. The senior class contends that the juniors were soused while the junior class is ready to swear on a stack of Bibles that the seniors were doused. The leaden steps of the tired and worn seniors preyed that their spir-! its had been thoroughly dampened,! while the voices of the juniors were! quiet and still, proving that they,; too, were "all washed out." The recent water fight of O. H. S. will probably be cussed and discussed for a long time for no one will ever know whether the traditional seniors' superiority was broken or just equalled.-Jack Bennett. 1 BIG SISTER PARTY ; The annual big sister party was 1 held last Friday evening. Promptly : at seven-thirty the grand march be- 1 gan and if you've never seen a fun- my costume you should have been there. Eventually, prizes were given to the craziest couples. We then , proceeded to have our club stunts, which kept the girls in gales of laughter from beginning to end. ; After much discussion the judges awarded first place to Carpe Diem, second to Phi Lambda Tau and third place to A. D. M. Although all did not receive prizes they all deserve honorable mention, for each stunt was exceptionally good. Light ; refreshments of frozen fudge were served during the program. All in all, the big sister party was a big success.-Bernice Lindquist. MORE POWER, TIGERS! Football is in full swing now and here are two mighty men in togs again. Jim Foulger, the boy who played bang-up ball lasT year, looks better than ever this year. His plunging and blocking make him an outstanding back in the northern division. Vern Springer, our sturdy line- smashing back, is playing fine ball this year and is indeed one of the best or even the best in the division this year. |
