Show FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1932 Critical Eye Put On 'Growing Up' Period Regret Often Felt When Days Of Childhood Left Behind OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. There's one thing that everyone everywhere has irf common. Everybody grows up. It is inevitable Don't you find it aggravating to have some relative or friend you haven't seen for some time dwell : upon how you have grown? Few of : us like being reminded that we are getting steadily older and that year after year the burden of responsi- i bility will sink heavier and heavier upon us. In despair we cry out for the "good old days" of our carefree childhood. Think back to the time when you i first began to assume the actions ; and dress of an adult. You will re- i member how sometimes you felt sad, ; lonely, and even a little frightened upon looking into a mirror and real- : izing that the child you had always lived with was no more, and this : young lady or young man had come to stay instead. You felt you would never really understand this young lady with her high heels, lip stick, and earrings as you did the little girl who played with her dolls and believed in fairies. Or else you began to wonder if this debonair young gentleman with his smart apparel, easy manner, and. clever line could be the same lad who a few years previous didn't give a hang if his hair wasn't waved or his shoe strings tied. All in all, you weren't quite sure that the real you hadn't been earned off in the dead of the night and this strange young grown-up left in your bed. And now that the Christmas season is again approaching, you recall how the child used to count the days before Christmas and get a much keener thrill of anticipation than does the person who now answers to your name. But I believe, if given our choice in the matter, none of us would .eally want to avoid growing up and growing old normally We won't be feeble, tottering old people for a few years yet, but sventually we will be, and our school d'ays are too soon over; so let's make the very most of our high school days and enjoy to the utmost the ecstasy that belongs to youth.- Wynn. 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 social committee, stated that the dance was a success but an itemized report was not ready. The report was accepted. It was moved and seconded that Beta Zeta Tau and Tau Eta Nu be granted a night meeting Wednesday providing that permission was granted by Mr. Merrill. The motion passed. Reed Berrett reported that Coach Kapple was in favor of keeping under the federal tax, but Mr. Merrill didn't agree. The report was accepted and the committee would continue to function, by a motion. The secretary read the last two articles of the school constitution, XVI and XVII It was moved and seconded that Zeta Phi Xi be granted a night meeting Wednesday providing that permission was granted by Mr. Merrill. The motion passed. The president asked that the senior class begin to prepare for the next dance, the Holly Hop. Council then adjourned. - The Secretary. TWO TEACHERS As there are so many thousands of school teachers in the United States, you may think it is easy to compare or contrast two or more of them, but you just try it yourself sometime. I am not going to consider all of these school teachers but two who teach at the Ogden High school, and I shall not reveal their names to you One of these teachers will say, "You make your own grade," while the other one says, "I do not give high grades, because I believe this subject very hard, so if you get a medium grade, be satisfied." One teacher will tell jokes every now and then while the other teacher writes the jokes on our test papers. The teachers will give us large lessons no matter what time of day it may be, so we students accept them, try and prepare them, and then answer "prepared" in the next day's class. The moral to this theme, however, is no matter how many large lessons you may have, as the teachers are seeing which can assign the largest lessons, you may always expect to be overburdened with work. VOLLEYBALL A most important volleyball game was fought Wednesday noon between Carpe Diem and Phi Lambda Tau. Miss Brewer officiated, calling "dead ball" and "good" at regular intervals. The playing of both teams was splendid, being heated and exciting keen competition. Finally the Phi Lambda girls took the lead and won in a close race, the score being 21-16. True Ogden High sportsmanship was exhibited and congratulations are due both clubs for their fine members. Each year the clubs compete in seasonal sports to win a cup. This competition is just commencing now-best of luck to you, clubs-B. B. GOOD ART WORK Football boys and a number of teachers are exhibiting with pride individual cartoons that were made by Clyde Chambers for the banquet on Wednesday evening. Clyde is doing some very exceptional work along this line. Who knows-maybe he will some day be one of America's noted illustrators. MUCH SICKNESS The attendance has dropped to about 90 per cent this week on account of illness There is a veritable epidemic of colds, or flu, or whatever you may call it. Mr, Glenn Hanson, instructor in music, is one of the most recent victims. HOW TO TREAT A COLD The reason that we have epidemics of colds is because victims refuse to obey common sense health laws. Practically all physicians today say f that colds are contagious and that one with a cold should isolate him- l self to avoid exposing others. Secondly, the patient should go to , bed. Governor Roosevelt gave us recently the proper example in this respect. He went to bed until he had fully recovered. Recently a well known physician from San Francisco was in Ogden He contracted a cold, and was slightly indisposed. While it was easily possible for him to go about his business, he did not do so. Instead he cancelled all his engagements, went to bed at a local hotel and called a doctor. This was what we call "using one's head." AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Will it be possible this year, as in ; some years previous, for the students to have their photographs for the year book taken before Christmas so they can send them to their relatives for Christmas gifts? Member of the Class of '33. Yes, indeed; and better still you may have them taken at any studio in town. Requirements for year book photos have been mailed to all Ogden photographers.-Aunt Jane. , Scholastic Hoop Season Tigers Open Season Against Bear River Warriors Play Box Eider in First Game ; Both in Ogden Ogden and Weber High school basketball teams play the Bear River and Box Elder quints, respectively, in this city to open the 1933 hoop season for the Ogden district of Region One.
