Show THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1932. Dance List Prepared By Social Committee Pupils Advised To Maintain Cards And Old School Spirit OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. The social committee h&s prepared a list of the dances to be given during the school year. The first one is the football dance occuring on November eighteenth. The admission prices are 50c a couple or your student body tickets. The next dance is the holly hop on December 23. Then comes the girls' accolade on January 27. The cadet hop on February 24, the Classicalia on March 31, the junior prom on April 28, and the senior reception on May 25. Due to the kindness of the management of the Berthana ballroom we are enabled to have our senior reception free of charge. This allows us a greater percentage of expenditure for the other dances. All of them will be well worth attending, so keep your student body tickets handy and the good old school spirit well in the fore. -Nosey. FORUM Although Forum has had no discussion about membership this year, the members are very busy. This year we have one of the best waiting lists the club has ever had, not only in quantity but quality, and the choosing of members will be a very difficult task. The last four of the twenty-one waiting list members were heard last Monday when the "minimum wage law" question was discussed. This debate was very well prepared and it showed deep and careful thinking. All the debates this year have proved that by sponsoring junior high debates, Forum has developed better high school debaters. We hope this year to do our part in bringing debating honors to Ogden high and we are sure that if we finish as strongly as we started, we will have no trouble. -Secretary. CARPE DIEM Carpe Diem believes that Tuesday evening with its tears and laughter will never be forgotten by the girls who were pledged. The three lovely senior pledges are: Marjorie Tillotson, Betty Franklin and Kathleen Foulger. Our attractive junior pledges are: Beverly Brown, Mary Frances Hetzel, Charlene Woods, Ruth Leonard, Margaret Paine, Maude Marian Parker and Mary Scowcroft. Carpe Diem welcomes i them and hopes that each one will enjoy being a Carpe Diem girl as . much as we shall enjoy having them with us. -Ann Pingree, reporter. Someone wants to know if Lowell's temperment agrees with his hair. Please address these questions to Jack Shaw. CONGRESS On Monday evening, October 23. Congress held its meeting. We had a very interesting debate on "three- fourths Jury vote." Irene Fitzgerald and Erma Langford debated for the affirmative while Letitia Peery and Marjorie Paul upheld the negative After discussing the debate we called it non-discussing the decision. Most of the waiting list members have debated and passed the test and now all that is left to do is to get the votes of the members. Finally the important motion of adjournment was made, seconded, and carried out. Good luck, waiting list members! Reporter-Lois Smalley. We are in a state of transition! The future is most uncertain. The youth of today must solve greater problems than have ever been solved. Youth therefore must prepare -and prepare thoroughly. A student entered school Tuesday afternoon and asked immediately for a five dollar student body ticket. It is said that Mr. Abplanalp: was so shocked that he fell out of his chair. Miss Evans, instructor in stenography has taken two university extension division course examinations during the past ten days. Surely, this lady is some worker-a good model for us students. The telephone is a mighty fine invention and a great convenience in business. As an instrument for, prolonged conferences it is the bunk. There is nothing more annoying than to be obliged, through courtesy, to hold a telephone to your ear for a prolonged period. If there is to be an argument or a long sales talk a personal face to face talk is far preferable. This fact does not apply of course to the long delightful conversations the ladies sometimes have over the phone. We are just speaking of the telephone as an instrument of business. REGULAR COUNCIL Regular council meeting was called to order by President Anderson; the roll was called, the minutes were read and approved. Miss Marian Cheesman, reporting for the finance committee, gave the dates for the school dances to be held this year. The report was accepted. The president requested that all club presidents be notified to prepare a list of their pledges under their constitution, to be handed to Mrs. Irwin by Thursday. Miss Janet Fife reported that the stationery was on hand and ready for use. By a .motion, the report was accepted and filed. Carpe Diem was granted a party for Tuesday night having had permission granted by Mr. Merrill. The president reminded the pep committee to act in preparation for the game Friday. Nov. 11. The secretary read articles IX and X of the school constitution. Mr. Goddard reported that the senior class meeting was postponed and would be held next Thursday, the same hour as before. Mrs. Irwin announced that the Girls' association was sponsoring a mothers' tea to be held one week from Friday. Council then adjourned. Wendell Fowler, secretary BELIEVE IT OR NOT (It's all true) Underneath the political, economic social structure Of America, there is an undertow of discontent, dissatisfaction, deep unrest. Many are very dissatisfied with conditions as they think it vain and useless to hope for any immediate improvement. This condition is illustrated by expressions from some forty-eight prominent writers who contribute to America's greatest newspapers and magazines. When asked for whom they would vote these writers replied as follows: Hoover 8, Roosevelt 16, Thomas 11, for Rogers or Foster or nobody at all 13. In other words, fully one-half are dissatisfied with both great political parties and will cast votes of protest. This indicates a number of things FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1932 Need Of Addition To Building Pointed Out Assembly Hall, Gymnasium and Class Rooms Desired OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. Depression or no depression, Ogden should at least erect an addition to the high school building which would provide an assembly hall, a gymnasium, and a few more class rooms. We have waited many years for that "new high school," and as our hopes in that respect have gone glimmering, it seems fitting and proper that we should at this time be provided with these very neces- : sary facilities. Ogden could do this with but very ' little inconvenience, and it would be a tremendous help to our work. Not a cent would be wasted, because the building is used for a high school or junior or grade school it would be indifinitely more 1 serviceable and worthwhile with 1 these added necessities. Assuredly the building will always be used 3 for school purposes, at least for the 1 next hundred years-unless destroy- I ed by fire or earthquake-in which case, of course, insurance would take care of the lass; so, good peo- ( pie of Ogden, let's have an addition, s a much needed improvement at Ogden high. Another point.' material is now 1 hours of the day and then come home to face an evening of pre- : paring them. Have teachers ever considered that this might be the : cause for so many absences or un- preparedness? The teachers are continually saying, "why that isn't a long assignment. It will only take fifteen or twenty minutes." Yes, it would only take that long if the student knew as much about the subject as the teacher does, but the fact is we are coming to school to learn and learning requires time. Why don't the teachers either as- : sign shorter lessons or devote a part of the period to study? This would 1 be advantageous to both teachers and pupils because the pupils would then prepare their lessons daily and better and profit more by them. -M. R. & H. L. ON THE RUN Old Man Depression has not quitte been shooting his par game ! for the last few months. Stocks have gone up; brokers have been . running about wildly; even the , bankers have begun to smile-ever ! so slightly, but it's a smile any- ( way. The old fellow used to shoot . birdie (not that kind either) on . every hole. Now, when the wind ; blows that long, gray beard of his, ' (yeh, he's an old man now) gets . in his eyes, and to save fiis soul he ; can't make a decent shot. So let's ; put him on the spot and sneak out some night and break all his golf ' clubs. We've got him on the run- . let's keep him going! ' ; ON THE STAIRS For some reason the laws gov- : erning the use of the stairs in passing from the lower to the up- , per floors (and visa versa) have not been enforced as vigorously this year as they have been in the years past. I sincerely believe that it is tre duty of every student to see Why we boys take girls to dances 1( and shows: What good does it do j J us? Can it be that we have a guilty conscience and feel that we owe them a treat, or is it that it gives : us real joy for ourselves? One man said the Almighty made us that , way. I wonder: I think we are just ! saps. Why Mary Francis Hetzel hasn't 1 the friendship of every boy in the . school. (She's a charming lass, fellows.) , Famous last words: "Loan me a ( dime and I'll go with you." "Dizzy Murphy." , the cheapest it will probably ever be, and men do want and do need work. With a good assembly hall we could present dramas of merit, operas of high order, public gatherings and meetings of great importance, and especially school assem-j blies that would reflect credit upon c:r school. With a good gymnasium we could take care of physical education, in-, door seports and other activities for all our boys and girls-a thing that is absolutely impossible now. Salt Lake City has three magnificent new high schools, well constructed and planned, meeting most adequately the needs of Salt Lake City students. We are only asking for an attempt at fixing up our old building. Surely this request is reasonable. The best part of our lives is being spent in our school buildings. Surely, in this day of fine comfortable homes, our school home should compare more favorably with the homes at which we sleep and take our meals. We are sure that all the good people of Ogden who know our; needs will be more than glad to! yield to our humble request. i LESSONS Why are all the teachers so generous with their assignments of lessons? They don't seem to realize that the students have something else to think about. The pupils have questions fired at them six that these rules are enforced, and I also feel that the majority of this policing should be done gy the senior class members. At the end of every period, one may see a terrific jam on the stairways. This condition is not caused by ignorance; we have been cautioned as to the proper way .to use the stairs in the past. A concentrated drive should be made upon those who insist upon using the wrong stairs; let's break this habit before it grows to such proportions that it will be impossible to check. Take the inside stairs in both ascending and descending, and you can't go wrong! -Axel Grease. FOOTBALL FORECAST The third, league football game of the season is to be with the Bear RiverN Bears at Bear River. This game is to be on Friday November 4, from what a person may gather from gossip, it seems a sure thing that this is to be Bear River's "unlucky Friday." Darrel Hall, Ogden's right tackle, says, "after we play the Bears they will have to change their names to Gophers because they're sure going to go for their holes." Dick Alke- ma says "with my looks and Springers' brains, the Bear River team won't have a chance." Then! Higgins may be heard saying, "we lost to Logan and we are going to take our spit out on someone so it looks as if Bear River is it." After all is summed up you can plainly see that there is going to be some excellent playing on the part of our team and even though the student body will not be there to cheer for the boys, we know they will consider us present in spirit even if not in body and play a winning game. -Jack Bennett. WE'D LIKE TO KNOW Why my good friend, Morgan Jones, by name, very seldom keeps! his word to the girls. Why Frank Fister's Ford stays together with all the girls and youths he piles on it. Why a certain teacher tells us students how he likes to give us good marks and then doesn't. Why a certain boy doesn't stick to: the girls at high and quit robbing; the cradle. Why another boy keeps his face covered up. Surely he is not afraid j of it when he looks in a mirror. Why Grant Aadnesen thinks he is so tough (You're not, Grant; so) |
