Friday Evening October 14, 1932 Pencil Tapping Halts Thrilling Description Teacher Found Heartless In Handling Mystery Stories OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. Something just has to be done ! about it! You see, it's this way- - every day the oral expression stu- ' dents take their accustomed places, settle themselves into comfortable positions and enthusiastically await i the beginning of class. j Finally Miss Woolley calls on . someone to give his mystery story, j For several moments not a sound is heard save the speaker's hushed voice. The story is nearing its cli- : max-as each second ticks by the 1 tension becomes greater. Then just ' as the fiend is in the middle of the most terrible of all his dark deeds, the sharp tapping of a pencil is heard. This is the signal that the allotted time is up. The gasps of horror that escape the lips of the intent listeners axe changed to sighs of disappointment as they realize the narrative is to be cut short, right in the most thrilling part, too. . ,r Now I ask you-don't you think Miss Woolley is an entirely heart­less person? Won't someone make her allow all mystery stories to be continued until the very last murder has been committed? -The Lady At the Keyhole. CONGRESS A most stinging debate on co-edu­cation 'was presented to congress Monday evening, October 10. Clara Johnson and Veda Brough debated for the affirmative with Ellen Glines and Maxine Stone uphold­ing the negative. We were hon­ored with the presence of two alum­nae, Miss Nicholas and Miss Schmalz, who gave us some very fine points on debating. After a short discussion it was decided that it should be a no-decision debate. Congress adjourned. -Lois Smalley, Reporter. FORUM Resolved: Forum held its regular meeting last Monday evening. After the preliminaries were over we turned to the order of the day which was a debate between four waiting list members on the question-"Re­solved: That interscholastic athletics be abolished in high schools." Very fiery speeches were given when Lowell James and Reed Bernett opposed Grant Jenson and Russell Harris. As a whole the debate was very good and was enjoyed very much. -Secretary. SCHOOL SPIRIT We have heard much about the spirit of the students during the yell practices, the rally and the as­sembly last week. The purpose of all this was to promote interest in the game with Box Elder. At the c game there was a large turnout of students, but where was the spirit we had so practiced in perfecting? 0 Several former students of our school expressed the opinion to the g writer that we have a great team r but a "rotten" student body. This lack of enthusiasm was in no way g the fault of the yell leaders, who f were out there trying to instill a j little spirit into the dead student body. The yells were responded to in a half-hearted manner, and a spectator might have thought the team was engaged in a scrimmage practice with the scrub team for all the enthusiasm shown by the spectators. We in the grandstand have our part to play in winning a game. It is our duty to let the team know we feel the jolt of every tackle and the thrill of every pass. We have a team to be proud of. Let's get behind them at our next game and tell the world we are proud of our team. -A Disappointed Senior. MISS JOSEPHINE JOE My public seems to demand that I criticize something, and I find it a very easy task to get myself con­siderably worked up over the article submitted by Josephine Joe on Tuesday night. Impartially picking out one's good points and one's bad points is alii very interesting, but it has no place in the high school notes. The article I refer to was "The Facts." If the article was intended as a correc­tive criticism and was offered with sincerity of purpose, why didn't the; author sign his or her name? We do not believe the article was in-j tended maliciously, but merely for! the purpose of being sensational.! Incidentally, we believe this is the 'poorest example of sensationalism we have ever seen. -B. T. Dear Josephine Joe: While we knowingly understand that you are extremely busy with the erstwhile occupation, common­ly known as "picking people to pieces," we are sure that it would prove highly beneficial to you and to whom it may concern for you to carefully analyze yourself. Giving the public your good and bad char-; I acteristics. (Signed) JUST ME??? j BELIEVE IT OR NOT (It's All True.) This week ends the first six weeks' period. The first term, and one-sixth of the school year has passed. Economically, politically, religiously, the whole world is wob­bling. The problems of today and tomorrow are the greatest of all time; it behooves, then, the youth of today to make the best prepara­tion possible. i The schools cannot be made too "good-nor can youth take too seri­ously the problems before them. There is an old saying or proph­ecy to the effect that "where there is no vision the people perish." We are led to wonder if anyone today has clear vision! 'We have or to be"-how would that be for a theme topic-some - thing to think about seriously. It Pays to Advertise. Wednesday morning this sign was posted. "Yearbooks free at office." One hundred seventy-five yearbooks of '28, '26, '21 disappeared within twen­ty minutes. "A thing of beauty is a joy for­ever." High school yearbooks are beautiful. Most homes of Ogden have these fine souvenir books, and many homes have several of them Governor Dern figures that while taxes are high-the average man- that is the man with a family- obtains a good public school edu­cation at about $25 per year pa- child. Yes, you are right, gover­nor. COUNCIL REPORT Regular council meeting was called to order by President Ander­son; the roll was called, the min­utes were read and approved. . Miss Dorothy Paine submitted more club constitutions to council for acceptance. They are: Los Loritos, Amigos Del Mundo, W6OHS, D. A. C., and Gregg Artists. The president reported for the pep committee. The report was accept­ed, and the committee was con­gratulated on their activities. He also gave a report of the finances up to date, giving the amounts that each school activity absorbs. The report was not voted upon. Miss Hazel Lewis, representing the girls' association, reported that a few yell books were on hand and asked that each member encour­age the sale of them. The secretary read Article 6 of the school constitution. It was moved and seconded that the president appoint a committee of three to buy stationery for the school. He appointed Miss Janet Fife, Miss Hazel Lewis and Gus Becker. The secretary was reminded to have copies made of the new addi­tion, to club regulations, these to be presented to all club presidents by Thursday morning. Council then adjourned. -Wendell Fowler, Secretary. SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1932.
