MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21. 1932. School Will Present 'Three Live Ghosts' Cast Selected From Group of More Than 50 Aspirants OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. "Three Live Ghosts," an English play written by Asham, was chosen $f this year as the school play and H has caused much excitement during the past week among students of O. H. S. Tryouts were held Thurs­day at three-thirty under direction of Miss Woolley, with Thatcher Allred, a professor of English at Web­er college, acting as judge. More than 50 players were chosen as fol­lows: Mrs. Gubbins or old sweet-, i heart - Helen Brophy; Miss Woofers - Deirdre Dobbs; Bolton-Low­ell James; Jimmie Gubbins -Jim Lazenby; William Poster - Dale Anderson; Spoofy - Harold Rosevear; Rose Gordon - Dorothy Payne; Briggs - Marshall Brough; Benson - Max Barber. TIME FOR ACTION Someone who signs himself "Icy More" wants to know why the P boys of the school don't forget being Sl shy and bashful and make a date S for the football dance, Wednesday. This is a question that has been bothering the student body officers. 0 No one has ever been able to offer i( a solution ths has proved prac- p tical. We do hope, however, that all barriers of bashfulness will be brok- , en down before next Wednesday and that a large number of stu- : dents will turn out to give the foot- ' ball team the final token of appre- " ciation which they so well deserve. J Your student body ticket will admit 1 you, students. It won't cost you any- s thing and we can guarantee you a s good time. Get a date and be there. THINGS WE SHOULD KNOW Ogden High school offers seven courses of study; four are college preparatory courses and three are t not. J Colleges are looking for better students, not more studenls. Their first question is: "Does he belong to the upper third in his class?" Sometimes they ask for the exact numberical position i.e. is he num­bered, 1, 10, 15 or 50 in his class? Colleges quite generally require average of "B" in al1 high school subjects. Colleges also require that a stu­dent complete four majors in each r year of his high school course. The high school endeavors to meet these requirements. To meet them students are urged from the first day they enter until they leave to do their very best daily, that they select the proper subjects, that they form correct habits of study and that they cultivate that attitude of mind that will insure success. GOOD NEWS ' Herman Schneider, dean of the college of engineering and com­merce and school of applied arts, University of Cincinnatti, writes to! Principal Merrill as follows: "All of; the economic signs now point to a marked revival in business. This is very apparent in New England, along the Atlantic seaboard, in the cotton regions of the south, and to a less degree in the middle west. There seem to be good reasons for believing that by the beginning of the year, conditions will have im­proved still more and that there will be a gradual approach to norm­al business conditions." BASKETBALL SEASON With the approach of the basket­ball season, Ogden High is looking forward to another great triumph. Practices are held about two nights a week for the present. As yet only about fifteen players have re­ported but after the football sea­son closes this number will be greatly increased. This year Ogden High will have to defend the state championship basketball title and it will take a lot of intense practice. Coach Kapple will have to develop practically an entire new squad as graduation or eligibility laws robbed us of near­ly all our last year's team. There are many promising jun­iors out for the squad. Prom all in­dications when the season opens, Coach Kapple will have a real con­tender. He hopes to be able to book, several pre-season games. This, should be no trouble because he has! received a number of letters from1 Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and all parts of Utah requesting pre-season games with Ogden. Perhaps I should mention some­thing about student body tickets, (every-one else has) but if you haven't got one and don't have one for the basketball season, you are surely missing a great treat. O. H. S. Hitch your wagon to a star, my friend, The star called O. H. S. Let it by your inspiration, Of your future never guess. Let it guide and keep you : Thru the years that will cor Always hold it up before you As did those who now are Trust in it and let it give i Friends that ne'er will equalled be. Keep those friendships; guard them ever. Heart and soul to God bring free. -Manana Thomas. TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1932 Classicum Attains First Class Rating Report On 1932 Volume Sent To O. H. S. From Minnesota ogden high school notes Parke Petterson, Editor. , Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. t L- -- j The 1932 Classicum was scored by the National Scholastic Press asso­ciation of Minneapolis, and was given first class honor rating. In j plan and theme we scored 160 out r of possible 220. We received 810 : points on the entire book out of a 5 possible 1000. Altogether we are j very proud of our rating, and glad of the opportunity to make improve­ments along lines suggested by ex­pert critics. PLEASURE HOUR Just imagine yourself in a nice, easy deck chair on board S.O.S.'s yacht de luxe, somewhere in the south seas. Ah! are you comfort­able? Then I'll begin: Friday's assembly, sponsored by S.O.S., was amusing, very amusing. It had its serious moments, of course but for the most part it was really funny. Grant Aadneson, I mean Wally Chinwell, was master of ceremonies. (Wasn't that mustache cute?) A. Mr. Hoover-Roosevelt gave a belat­ed political speech. Rear Admiral Frank Rounds, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., and A .B.C., played two piano solos. Then came the big surprise. I guess I should say surprises, several screen celebrities were into- duced. Among them were Laurel and Hardy, Clark Gable, Jean Har­low, Bing Crosby, the Boswell Sis­ters, Jimmy Durante, Buster Keaton, and others." They will all be at the big football dance Wednesday, so be sure to be there to see them. As navigation was the theme of the program, Lieutenant-Command­er Robert L. Porter, Jr., gave an educational but very interesting talk about what the navigator of a ship has to worry about. (I'm glad I'm not one, a navigator, I mean.) Well done, S.O.S. well done. FRIENDLINESS In Friday's assembly Joe Foley of Weber college and a former Og­den High student, made a very good talk on friendly relations between the college and high school. It is true that these two institutions have been brought much closer together and we sincerely hope that even closer relations may exist in the future. We really have a lot in common and thre is no reason why we cannot co-operate in many things to the mutual benefit of all. Many of our students find great enjoyment in attending Weber's functions and know that our stu­dents are always welcome on the college campus. We $lsh Weber college every success on their trip to Hawaii and wish to invite them to our social functions in the future. ZETA PHI XI Tit, tat, toe, three initiations in a row-that's what our pledges re­ceived before becoming members of Zeta Phi Xi. The first was a pledge dinner, the second a mock initia­tion, and the third a serious initia­tion. Although the mock initiation was anything but pleasant the ser­ious initiation will long be remem­bered by every Zeta member. These four lovely girls-Rosemary Smith, Adele Larson, Mary Springer, and Virgie Minnoch, are now members of Zeta Phi Xi. We want to con­gratulate them, and we feel sure they will carry on the spirit of Zeta in the future. -Barbara Lindquist. CARPE DIEM We have just added three attrac­tive girls to our senior members. These girls are Marjory Tillotson, Betty Franklin and Kathleen Foulger. May they never forget or re­gret the day they were pledged to Carpe Diem. -Ann Pingree. CRAFTSMAN'S GUILD On Friday morning, December 2, at eight-thirty o'clock, Mr. Bogen of the Fisher Body Craftsman's ; guild will meet with Ogden High ; school boys to acquaint them with ! the purpose, and workings of this ' great organization, and to give the boys a chance to participate in its ' benefits.
