Show TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1933 THE OGDEN STA O. H. S. Pupils Enter University Contests Band, Orchestra, Choruses And Individuals Are Participating OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors A goodly number of students are entering the University of Utah contests this week, including the L band, the orchestra, the choruses and many individual members. Many girls went to Salt Lake City and Logan on Saturday last to enter 5 competitive contests. Miss Brewer is f' very proud of the work done and e the honors accorded our school at s both the state institutions, the university and the agriculture college. 8 In the district athletic contest in c Logan, Lee Boerens, Darrell Hall, c Richard Alkema and Clyde Green well placed and will represent Ogden High in the state contests. NEW IDEA TO BE TRIED At our Classicalia, our beautiful Gypsy queen reigned supreme. Electing a queen each year seems to be an old and time honored custom of dear old Ogden High. This year a new fad has been started at Weber college. They are ; going to choose a sort of Prince Charming to preside at their annual girls' dance, He will be the handsomest and most popular man at :he college and will be announced ;he night of the dance May 5. We pride ourselves in being inter ested not merely in the happenings in our own school but in the interesting events and clever ideas of the other Ogden schools. Here's to you, Weber, we hope your idea is successful.-Chucko. ON ROAD TO RECOVERY Many Ogden High school students rejoice at the good news that W. N. Petterson, teacher at Central, is on the road to recovery. HELPFUL BOOKS "Careers", a library consisting of 52 monograms on as many vocations for men and women, prepared and edited by the "Institute for Research" are based upon thorough and reliable research. They avoid as far as possible, personal opinions of those who are outstanding successes or notable failures, and include only the opinions of those who have natural inclinations to view their careers through unbiased eyes. MORE HONORS 1 Friday morning marked the estab- lishment of entirely unexpected ; precedent at Ogden High school, C for "Izzy" actually abandoned his dignity long enough to delve into a spasm of exclamatory poetry ex- ? pressive of unmest rapture. But! don't get nervous, please, "Izzy's" 1 actions were entirely Justifiable under the circumstances. Here's t why: ' Last week Mr. Robins received from the National Scholastic Press association this year's e&ition of the I NDARD - EXAMINER manual and scorebook for high : school publications. Among other ; things the manual contained the score and national rating of one of our best literary achievements, "The Quarterly Classicum." j The total score of this year's 1 issues, as compared to last year 1 showed the marked advancement of ! 45 points in our rating, bringing our ' total up to 800 points out of a possible 1000. This lands us in the first division for the second consecutive year, although the grade was harder to make this year because of 1 higher standards required to attain this level. A close scrutiny of the manual shows that in literary features, the Quarterly scored 310 out of 400 possible points; in versification, 90 out of 100; in humor, 65 out of 75; in art, 13d out 150, and in typography and make up, 200 out of 275. This is a real achievement for our Quarterly staff to have made and one that will bring national honor to our school. We congratulate Mr. Stone and his assistants on their fine work.-Parke Petterson. SOMEONE SAID The less people speak of their greatness, the more We think of it. All are not princes who ride with the emperor. Be game-but not everybody's. Be strong on the finish. as well as quick at the start.-Janet Fife WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 3, 1933.

There is consequently no "U" day. The extension department ed is holding some music contests on ab Friday in which students of sev- jn( eral schools, including our own, are arj participating. an HALL OF FAME I nominate to the hall of fame: be( Mary Drumiller, because of her Sw irresistible personality. Because she has so many of our he-men captivated and ready to answer her ' call. Because she occasionally „ot smiles at me. s „ "Burp" because of his originality 3r and humor (?) Because he can , give B. T. some of his own medicine -sarcasm. Because I take it for granted he is a man. m Harold Manning because of his cave-man tactics in his efforts to subdue Betty. Because he is my im- pression of a perfect lieutenant. Be- cause he glorifies the "brunette type" and ends the reign of the 1" "blond menace."-H2F2 (Secret Service.) J ' PURPOSE OF EDUCATION Professor Robert Hall Lane of Los Angeles schools, in a recent ie "work book" for principals and supervisors, has a new statement con- 111 cerning the purpose of education. ir The statement demands our thoughtful consideration. He says: )e iThe pU1p0se 0f education is to ef- 2t feet a change in conduct on the part of the person being educated. 'e Only that child has been truly edu- ie cated during a term, a year, or any s- other period of time whose conduct has been materially changed at the end of that period, as measured by ls his conduct at the beginning." i. n MAKE-UP WORK One teacher said recently: "1 think there should be an under- s standing that teachers will give extra time for make-up work only to those whose absence is caused by -1 illness or death in the family. Those " who stay out for pleasure, convenience, run errands, or other cause should pay for the time." j We believe the teacher is right. : Here is some news: "A" company ' has the neatest way of squelching those who talk. They assign a nice little talk to the corporals first and contemplate about orations for those ; who follow the example of B. T. Thanks to the person who puts ' those gags in about slams and veiled contempt. Well, those passed about are just a better way of telling the world that we are friends, and that the "panning" we give and get are forgiven in the night. Here is some more foreign news: Jack Cowlishaw a missionary, has been contemplating a trip to Sweden.-Burp. FAMOUS LAST WORDS "How many projects have you got?" "Who hit Mary in the eye?" "Will you lend me a piece of paper? I'm not going to buy any more this year." "Who's going to fight tonight?" "How many have never been absent from this class?" "I couldn't wear my drill uniform because a dog bit me and tore a hole in the pants." "What's the matter with the club reporters?" |
