Wednesday Evening, October 19, 1932 Report Cards Cause Sorrow And Pleasure Pupils Learn Results of First Six Weeks of School Activity OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. Of all the weird and ghastly noises that are known to this world not one was missing on that day when hopes of many hard-working students were constrastingly shat­tered and fulfilled. Yes! you're right! It was Tues­day, or report card day. The high aim of many a hopeful club pledge was brought down and literally an­nihilated. The result of six weeks of hard labor was seemingly nil. The fact that we missed a lesson or were a.w. o. 1. was. with heartsickening results, brought to our attention. One C or D would come jumping out at us to remind us of the fact that only an A or B student is eli­gible for a club membership. On the other hand some of us got far higher marks than we expected and with their arrival came the realization that high school isn't such a bad place after all and "Only as ye labor shall ye succeed." JACK BENNETT ZETA PHI XI As you walked down the main hall in front of the library today, did you notice a small doll dressed in a black and white uniform standing in the doorway of a lighted doll house? Of course all the seniors know this is the Zeta doll dressed in the new Zeta uniform, but some of the juniors may not know what this doll is. It is merely a sign- a clever one, don't you think?-to the members of the club that today is club day. The doll house is open every Wednesday and any special meeting day. While the doll is there for a club purpose it quite brightens up the hall, doesn't it? BARBARA LINDQUIST MIRRORS IN RELATION TO-? Mirrors, as we all know, are one of the essential requisites of a girl. Why. a compact without a mirror is absolutely useless, worthless and be­sides such compacts are not manu­factured. As to why mirrors are positively essential to the welfare of femininity, I am not going to dis­cuss. What I am trying to get at is simply this, mirrors are now be­coming, so it seems, a necessity to the male population. If you don't believe me, all you have to do is stroll through the halls and watch the lockers. Before many of them you will see many boys surveying themselves in small mirrors which they have managed to fasten to the inner side of the locker doors. The reason for this is somewhat questionable. Some may have the complex "I Love Me," others may wish to keep an immaculate appear­ance but last, though far from being least, I think it is so that they may appear at their best before Mary, Helen, Virginia or Ruth, as the case may be. This last may sound rather strange, but if you are from Missouri, just ask the next eli­gible male you see combing his hair, or adjusting his tie in the mirror, why he is doing so. A slow red will gradually suffuse his neck, face and ears, and for an answer you will receive one of the following: "Mind your own busi­ness," "Who's doing this?" "What's it to you?" or such. So you see these young men have "it" excep­tionally bad, but as long as they do not take to carrying compacts, it will, as yet, be all right. SID GORDON We have the best football team that this school has turned out for some time. This was proved when we so completely downed our Box Elder rivals, 19 to 6. If we beat Logan, we have a good chance of winning state honors in football this year. However, the football team needs the same support that the basketball team received last year. Let's not stand in their way by stay­ing away from the game with Logan. It is your team as well as everyone else's, so let's give the team its needed support so that if Logan is victorious, we will ont have to blame ourselves for the defeat of the team, but rather say that "the best team won." ROY ROSS REPORT CARDS Our new system of marking cards is, I think, a very good one. It saves the teachers a lot of work, although it does keep the students in hot water for a day. The students know they have to hang on to their cards if they in­tend to keep the teachers' and their parents' good will. And, too, their marks might make a lot of differ­ence. It does away with the exchange of marking sheets and thus keeps the teachers from brainstorm and other nervous disorders. Well, I like it, and I think most of the students do. And if the teachers don't-it's just too bad. How were the marks? We hope satisfactory. NOSEY BELIEVE IT OR NOT (It's all true) Senator W. H. King is very dis­satisfied with the American school system. He says our schools are neither sufficient nor thorough. He claims that foreign schools are much better than our own; that a student will learn more in one year in a school in France than he will learn in three years in America. He insists that we neglect in America the one thing for which the school exists-to teach pupils to think. Senator King believes in the seg­regation of sexes during the sec­ondary school age. He thinks our young people lack seriousness of purpose, and definite- ness of aim. Being a real student himself, the senator naturally sees in study, in hard work, in intellectual achieve­ments, the real joys of life. Would that there were more Americans like him, and that youth might be taught to think, to know, to grow in accord with his high ideals. Z. L. Foy, principal of Boise High school, says: "No pupil can measure up to his own standard of excellence, unless, he devotes at least two hours per day to his home study. "Absence from school even for a short time is a great hindrance to a pupil's progress and -may cause failure. "Ar reasonable amount of social activity is encouraged; but exces­sive indulgence along this line is ruinous to school success." Thursday October 20, 1932 Ogden School Proud Of Talented Writers Council Makes Several Appointments For Publications OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. Ogden High School boasts of many promising writers. The Eng­lish teachers had difficulty the other evening in limiting junior student recommendations for as­sistant editorships for school pub­lications: The following were rec­ommended to council. Marian Turner, Beverly Brown, Helen Richardson, Virgie Minnoch, Ruth Ketchie, Mary Pagnette, Margaret Sampson, Ruth Dyer and May Eisenhow for the quarterly, and Norman Carroll, Jim Bleven, Charlene Woods, Gwen Strandquist, Marian Barker, and Janet Wright, for the year book. The council selected Beverly Brown and Virgie Minnoch for the quarterly, Norman Carroll and Marian Barker for the year book. ASSEMBLY CONDUCTED Tuesday's assembly was called for the first period. The first num­ber was a selection by the boys' glee club, which was enjoyed by all. Mr. Merrill then introduced Maj. B. W. Braden of California, who represents the National Rec­reation association. Mr. Braden spoke on physical fitness and rec­reation, emphasized the importance of a "dominating, gripping, pur­poseful hobby" to occupy one's spare moments profitably and in­terestingly. Major Braden's talk was followed by short talks by Superintendent Hopkins, Commissioner Fred Williams, and very brief speeches by Mr. Wangsgaard, Mrs. Irwin, and Dale Anderson; and extremely ab­breviated addresses by Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Kapple. HOPES EXPRESSED I hope- Hazel will never lose that million dollar smile of hers. Someone will donate Helen Brophy and Jeannette Johnson i cowbells so they won't get lost again. The Wangsgaard teachers will quit giving such terrible marks and such brilliant wisecracks. Everyone will have a date for the football dance. Logan will feel plenty squelched Friday afternoon. X. Y. Z. RANDOM REMARKS Can you imagine: Dale Anderson (the president) not being in a hurry? Jack Shaw without Lavon Gar­ner? Lowell James with an inferiority complex? Bud Barrett and Harold Pearson without those ridiculous hats? Ambitions of famous people: Dave Wangsgaard to get some­thing on Fern Larson. Caesar-To fiddle while Rome burned? (Is that right?) Maurine Shaw-To be a "big" shot. Famous Figures: Virginia Soderberg's The long, tall boy enters the class sometime during the second i period, carefully points to a name or two, and then silently departs. We can think of dozens of good puns on Dot Paine's name, but that subject is so "paineful" to her that we will have to overlook it. And that reminds us-Dale An­derson has some kind of a "Paine." We heard that Don Banks is in seventh heaven with his "Angel." Did you know: That Virgie Minnoch can remem­ber when she was a "little" girl? That Clyde Greenwell's girl friend's first name is the same as the last name of the famous home run king? We suggest that somebody put a clause in the school constitution, or sumpin' requiring all articles in the high school notes be signed with the author's full name. Personally, we're getting sick and tired of this "I" and "me" busiess. to which clubs can advertise student body cards the most, we In Forum are supporting the drive by buying memberships. After all we believe that a good thing will sell itself and regardless of the good adver­tising done by many clubs, de­pression students will not be able to afford them. Twenty of the best debaters and fellows really interested in debat­ing have demonstrated their abil­ity before Forum, seeking mem­bership. We members are very well versed in such subjects as trial by jury, compulsory R. O. T. C. train­ing, the bonus question, etc. This year, Forum plans to ex­tend the friendship of our school to many other neighboring schools by debating with their clubs. Last year we matched our ability with four outside schools, this year we intend to double that number. CONGRESS A Pinch Hitter for "Red" Ross. Congress held its meeting on Monday evening, October 7. Our debate on' three-fourths jury vote was postponed until next week on account of the absence of one of the debaters. Pins were decided on and accepted by all the members of Congress. Parliamentary rules were read and discussed. The poor waiting list members were doomed to a very severe test. Our parlia­mentarian announced that it would be given Tuesday in room 203. Con­gress adjourned early.
