FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1932 Magazines Analyzed By English Students Some Found Exceptionally Good; Others Almost Worthless OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. J Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. I Aftor receiving from the Carnegie library copies of some eighty maga- ? zines, which were graciously loaned, l several classes began an earnest and somewhat extensive study of the 1 types, contents, costs, and publica­tion details of magazines. This or- jdinary English room, No. 205,, might i have rightly been termed a research f laboratory of English, for, indeed, many interesting experiments were I informed by each boy and girl, and many magazines were discovered which were never known, by some, to be in existence. ! The artistic properties concerning the covers, pictures, reproductions and sketchings were discussed pro and con; the feature properties and mental properties were also brought into consideration. After the sur­vey, the students found magazines which were exceptionally good and others that were not worth the pa- jf per on which they were printed. By making charts it was revealed to the researchers of this laboratory that the prices of the magazines ! ranged from five cents to $2.50 and that the publications ranged from weekly to yearly editions. After this I course of study, each boy and gir? has a better appreciation of period­icals. BAND ENTERTAINS The high school band is enter­taining school officials and parents o: band members at the high school this evening. Those who have in­vitations to be present are lucky. On Friday, December 23, from eleven until twelve o'clock, all the schools of Ogden will have special Christmas programs consisting largely of carol singing in their re­spective buildings. CHRISTMAS BASKETS Every classroom in Ogden High will prepare a Christmas basket for a family next week. This fine piece of work is sponsored by the Girls' association. BETA ZETA TAU Last Saturday night the seniors of Beta Zeta Tau had a lovely ban­quet for the juniors. The tables had Christmas decorations, which made them look very cheerful and pleasing. Each junior was made a full pledge member and was given a lovely sewing compact. Altogether we had a very lovely time, includ­ing Miss Green, our advisor. The juniors hope that some time in the future they will be able to have as pleasing a banquet for the seniors. The juniors with to thank you heart­ily. -Beverly Harris. DECORATIONS! Have you seen the decorations in Mr. Thornley's room? They're really g.-eat. The idea originated with a few junior English students of artis­tic temperament. The Christmas idea has been effectively carried out in decorating the room and with patient work a real bit of art has been done. We congratulate Mr. Thornley and his classes on this move. NEW PERSONALITY The following interesting article was written by E. Saint Hilaire at one time a teacher of French at Ogden High school. Mr. Hilaire j died some two years ago, but his; thought lives on: We are all prisoners of the lang­uage we speak; forms do not mold themselves to our thoughts but rather our thoughts are limited by the forms contained in the language. The teacher of foreign language must keep this psychological fact in mind. It follows from this that in the study of a language, the mind is released, and a new personality, so to speak, is acquired. It is this new personality that helps one to understand the other fellow's point of view. E. Saint Hilaire. MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1932. Seniors Commended For Fine Assembly Proves One of Best At Ogden High School This Season OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. What Was generally conceded to be the best assembly this year was given Friday last by the senior class of Ogden High school. A va­riety program which featured some of the finest talent available was presented in an interesting fashion and something worthwhile was gained by everyone. The first number Was a skit, put on by tHree seniors to advertise the Holly Hop. (Swell dance! Swell dance!) We were then favored with a piano solo by Betty Gunnell and a vocal selection by Lloyd Fredrickson. The feature of the program was a Christmas reading by Miss Minnie Moore Brown. Miss Brown gave us- something truly inspiration­al in an interesting manner. We wish to thank her for this splendid contribution to our program. The assembly was brought to a fitting close by two numbers by Miss Thatcher's string ensemble. The senior class officers are to bf congratulated for sponsoring this fine assembly, as are the members of the assembly committee who have worked hard to bring us this pro­gram. LESSONS, LESSONS Lessons to the left of me, lessons to the right of me, no lessons be­hind me, but plenty before me. Fel­low pen pushers, be it resolved that ! lessons or homework should be shortened in all classes in Ogden High school. It may be that teachers really don't realize how much they are as­signing to us when figuring out their programs for the following day. Cannot something be done about it? Well, see tomorrow's "Notes" col­umn and I will give my arguments on this matter and will then stand by for your thoughts. P. S.-I haven't courage to sign my name so will say, "Okay! Ogden High." _ S. O. S. NOTES Meeting was called to order by President Aadneson and we got down to business. A nice little dis­cussion concerning the party that we are to hold December 28 arose between the members of the club, but it was finally settled. Special invitations have been given to all alumni members and we expect to have a regular good old get-together party. A very interesting talk was given by Harold Burbridge concerning the , building of a superdreadnought. He endeavored to show us the steps in ' building of one of these warships. 1 Meeting was then adjourned, i Pug. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: What's all this we hear about Harold Rosevear fainting -Inquisitive. Dear Inquisitive: If you're on ! hand at the Washington School auditorium on the night of either ; January 13 or 14, you will find what causes these sudden lapses and also ! a few other important things. You'll be sorry if you don't come. -Aunt Jane. HIGHLY PLEASED ; Congratulations, senior class! Your assembly Friday was excel- lent. I am certain that every stu- 3 dent enjoyed each minute of that i assembly. The arrangement of the : program was perfect; no one was out of order; no teachers were bored, and everyone as a whole was. well pleased. We sincerely hope that the assemblies in the future i are as successful. The .Observer. Boy, wasn't that a honey! Oh, no, I mean the assembly; I con­gratulate the program committee for I am sure they held the at­tention of everyone. The introduc­tions weer most clever. We wonder if Grant made them up. Sorry, Grant, I guess all I have to say- that is-all that I started to say is -let's have more assemblies like the one on Friday. A Senior. Ogden Tigers Play Davis High Quint Tuesday Afternoon Playing their first practice game at home, the Ogden Tigers meet the Davis High School hoop team Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in the local high school court. No charge will be made for the game, and all hoop fans who are anxiously awaiting the 1933 edition of Coach Dixon Kapple's basketball squad may see the Tigers in action. Thursday night, Coach Paddy Davis brings his South High school Cubs from Salt Lake to battle the Ogden team on the Tiger's floor. This game starts at eight p. m. i CHRISTMAS REVELRY 'Twas two nights before Christmas and all through the hall, everyone was dancing, even my moll. The orchestra.,was playing all in a blare. Why not? Ogden High school was there. The boys were all talking and handing out lines. But none was believed, not even mine. My gal in an evening gown and I in my best-I saved up my money so we might join the rest. Everyone was haopy and quite contented, for the students had paid and the Berthana rented. At twelve o'clock, but with ho bells to chime, every­one left and said they'd had a good time. This hasn't happened yet, but you'll have to go to the Holly Hop to see if it's so. Get a date with a jane, and come and raise cain. For unless you are-dead or should be in bed, you will have a great time. And I hope this will rhyme. Jack Bennett. FROM CHINA Several high school teachers are recipients of Christmas cards from Percy Oda, from far away China. Fay Hopkins and Doyle Jensen, Thompson scholarship students at the University of California, ere home for the holidays and were visitors at high school Friday. We congratulate our janitors on having kept our building tolerably comfortable during the past cold spell. At least they were on the job from 18 to 24 hours per day and did their best. More than this, and this is a good time to say it, they have kept our building in ex­cellent condition this year. We ap­preciate their services. HOLLY HOP H is for happiness you will find O is for Ogden, it will be there; L is for love, oh, yes! eyes alit. L is for loads, and lots of it. Y is for yearning, all girls yearn to go. H is for hope a date for the show, O is often we hope them to be P is for place; here we shall see thee. A. J.
