Show Tuesday Evening, October 25, 1932 Spirit Found Vital Element in School Intangible Object Infuses Life Into Daily Affairs OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. i One is always hearing the word spirit. It is the backbone of schools and the national hymn of countries. If some one fails in a i particular undertaking it is because , I "he didn't get into the spirit of the thing" or "he didn't have the right ; spirit." As faith without works is : dead, so work without spirit is 1 nothing. Now what is meant by this word? 1 It is the most illusive, intangible, : indefinable object of which you ' could conceive. It is a bodiless element infused into the atmosphere , which gives life to all things. No man can put his finger on it. We cannot say, "Here is the soul, and here, the man." One must go with the other, and the combination makes an object of fully rounded proportions. ! A man without a soul would be a mere shell of nothingness. Without the proper spirit, any act is worthless. Therefore, the spirit of our school, like the soul of a man, is a vital and essential part. THE EDITOR COUNCIL SESSION Regular council meeting was called to order by President Anderson; the roll was called, the minutes were read and approved. The secretary reported for the finance committee and stated that the next school dance would be the football dance to be held Friday, Nov. 28. Student body cards or fifty cents will be required for admission. The president reminded the students to encourage sale of student body cards for the dance. Miss Janet Fife, reporting for the stationery committee, gave the amount of stationery ordered for the year. The report was accepted. The secretary read article seven of the school constitution. Tri Delta was granted permission to have meetings every Wednesday afternoon, time three-thirty. Mr. Goddard announced that a senior class meeting will be held Thursday afternoon, at three-thirty to select senior class pins. The president announced that no students will be excused for the game Friday because of strict orders. Miss Beverly Brown and Virgie Minnoch were elected assistant editors of the Quarterly. Norman Carroll and Miss Marian Barker were elected assistant editors to the annual yearbook. Council then adjourned by a motion. WENDELL FOWLER, Secretary. PERSONAL MENTION Ran across Jack Becker down- WHO'D A THUNK IT After hearing Friday's assembly talk, Boyd Hopkins' dream is to marry the first lady of the land. Then he would be president. Mariana has found her ambition but we don't know who he is. Don Bank's ambition is to go to heaven. He wants to see his "angel." What's become of B.T.? He ain't what he used to be. The answer to Lowell Jafes' prayer: a new flag. Bill Skaggs, the man about town, is some poet. See him about yous next classicum assignment. -LG&WH. town last night. He confided in me that he was doing his Christmas shopping early to avoid the rush. A conservative lad is Jack. 1 Wayne Backman, late of Denver, claims the title of "The School's Unluckiest Student." To get the, details upon which he bases his belief, you must ask him about it- when he returns to school. T Again referring to the dormant "Radiator Romances." What seems , to be the matter? Is it the depression, or has Dan Cupid gone 3 on a prolonged strike? After all, perhaps it's the best that way; we're here, you know, to study, and 1 not to appear as sentimental fools to the rest of the student body, The marks that these teachers do 1 hand out to unsuspecting students! ! I have one teacher in particular: who loves to stand up in front of , the class and describe how he en- ' joys giving good marks-you should , see the grade he gave me! AXEL GREASE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT (It's all true.) We close today the campaign lor student body tickets. Fewer than half of our students hold memberships, but we shall endeavor to carry on. We only regret that all who could afford to support school activities through memberships have not done so. To those who have become bomfide members of the student body we extend our hearty thanks. We guarantee that they will get big returns on their investments. The big purpose of the student body ticket is to secure a maximum ; of entertainment and recreation at a minimum cost. We are deter- ! mined that none shall regret the purchase of a ticket. , At Friday's assembly Mr. Merrill challenged any one to find in any high school in Utah from Richmond on the north to St. George ; on the south, a school so inade- ; quately equipped for school plays, operas, gymnasium work, as Ogden " High school. We doubt whether the t challenge will be accepted. There isn't as much satisfaction . in being rated the poorest equipped . high school in the state, as there is in the thought that ours is prob- ably the best high school in Utah. I A survey of Weber and Ogden , high school graduates of last year made by Mr. Russell, a Weber ) teacher, revealed this startling fact. , In the choice of vocations, school ! teaching stood first, stenography second. This Is radical departure . from 1928 when the teaching profession found no advocatets among ' the graduates. t Mr. Connell received yesterday a . cash prize from the state fair for excellent display of mechanical . drawings made by Ogden High students. STUFF'N NONSENSE Things I'd like to know- . Why my dear friend Carl Harris .has changed his name to Fred. And R. O. T. C. TESTS Last Thursday and Friday, examinations were given to candidates or appointments in the R.O.T.C. unit. One test was given for would- be "non-coms" and another mora difficult to those who aspire to commissioned positions. Of course the results of these tests are not the only indication by which appointments will be made as leadership, instructive ability and other points must be considered. However, we are all anticipating the results and the appointment of officers. The girls, we understand, are becoming nervous about sponsorships, and the captains want to get their boots broken in before the Armistice day parade. Here's hoping we learn soon who's who in R.O.T.C. if he must use his middle name why he can't be honest about itj and use Fredric. That's his realj name. Why I haven't met Beverly Brown. How Miss Atkinson can remember so many names. Why Blenn Whitaker can't stay out of trouble. Why the teachers assign so many hard lessons. Where all the good looking girls at high school come from. Why Adele Larson is so high hatted. Why Beverly Harris only says "Hello" to me in the hall. Why the readers of this column will say "Isn't that enough?" Why people read such junk and laugh at it. When the reader laughs, is the reading matter funny? Why I thought this stuff would be printed when I'm not even on the news staff. How Jack Higginbotham met Dora Bundy. (I'd like to meet her myself.) And why Jack has such a long name. Why he doesn't shorten it to Higg so we columnists would not have to use so much lead. Why we write this "stuff" anyhow. Why they don't call this joke timely: "Robert returned from school with his report card for his mother's inspection. "'But dear,' she said, 'what's the trouble? Why have you such poor grades this month?' '"There's no trouble, mom,' was the quick reply. 'You know yourself things are always marked down after the holidays.'" Why we don't have a spelling bee. I'm sure we could all use one. DIZZY MURPHY aside for the time being. As we all know, there are girls of every sort and cariety, classified usually as beautiful, pretty, fair, cute, others just getting under the line with a big push, and the rest, the greater part, just belonging to the "Order of the Permanent Wave." Just as you've never seen, an elephant without an elongated proboscis, so will you never see a girl without her, lipstick, powder and 1 rouge, often contained in a com- ' pact, no matter to which classifica- 1 tion she belongs. A compact is to a girl what a collar that will stay ; down is to a boy. You might ask, why a compact is so necessary to a girl. That is simple to answer as from a compact ' she puts bloom into (pardon me) ; upon her cheeks and causes her lips to become the color of ripe strawberries, and also prevents her nose from having a bright luster. Girls, you may think that doing such improves your looks, that it ' causes you to appear more adorable, more attractive in front of your boy friend but, girls, have you ever seen an Indian in warpaint? -Sid Gordon. TID-BITS All of these new club uniforms are very confusing, but they certainly add to that Ogden high school atmosphere. Cleone Walker's latest byword seems to be "The dame's nuts." L Speaking of talent, we're all agog over that bassoon player in the or- chetsra. Jack, your technique is superlative. " Now that pledging is over we shall reveal in that iong-looked-for pastime of initiating. More power to it. Logan wasn't a hospitable host. Its men hurt our men and beat our men. Such eitquette. It seems that O.H.S. scholarship is improving. So many students were able' to attend the game in Logan. And Bernice Lindquist certainly is aware that this is leap year. Just ask Helen Parmley. -B.B. WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1932. Saturday Favored As School Contest Day Regular Order Disturbed If Games Take Place On Fridays OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Woo a, Associate Editors. j Football is a fine sport and worth every encouragement in the schools. It should not, however, take the place of regular school. Our school was demoralized on Friday afternoon last as it is also on every Friday when there is a football game. All high school games should be played on Saturday. Certainly this is one lesson the depression should teach, if we have not learned it heretofore. No one can blame a student for wanting to see his school team play and, if it requires a half-day absence from school to witness the game, the chances are that the student will miss the school rather than the game. Deer hunting and duck hunting also seriously interfere with regular school work. Each costs annually all the way from one to five' days of school, which frequently measures the: margin between sue-1 cess and failure. Most things in life that are worth while are obtained only by effort and sacrifice. It's easy to drift but it takes muscle to row. OBJECTIONS TO CLUBS One serious objection to school clubs is this: Unless great care is taken they have a tendency to build up aristocracy and snobbishness instead of real democracy. Another objection is this: Students insist in apeing colleges in the matter of silly initiations. If students cannot form a club without absurd initiation practices, there should be no club. And still another objection is that they are likely to develop into social organizations with no serious purpose. All of which means that school should be the most serious,, the most worthwhile, the most laudable enterprise of youth, and no extracurricular activities should encroach upon the legitimate work of the school. How glorious are the days of youth when wisely guided and fittingly used! Youth is the springtime of life. All the after seasons of life depend upon it. ZETA PHI XI While walking through the halls Wednesday did you notice four! darling girls with big smiles proudly displaying a pledge necklace from Zeta? These girls are the new; pledges of Zeta Phi Xi, and we're! proud to announce who they are.1 The junior pledges are: Adele Larsen, Mary Springer and Vergi Minnoch; the senior pledge is Rosemary Smith. Just ask any of these girls to show you her silver lavaliere with the Zeta pin in the center of a modernistic pendant. And now with the help of these girls, we are going to keep up the spirit of Zeta. -B.L. Reporter. COMPACTS AND GIRLS I have always said and always will say-that is as far as I know -that girls are peculiar and intricate creations. If you want proof, go out with one, particularly onej that is hungry. But let's lay that1 |
