Show Wednesday Evening, January 4, 1933 Classwork Resumed With Few Absences Last Half of School Year Will Be Begun On January 17 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. School began with a bang Tuesday morning. Many who were ill : before the holidays and others who ; were working were here again, and classes appeared natural once more. IVankly, we are all glad to 'be back again and there isn't anything we'd rather do these days than attend school. Holidaying is all right for a season, but as a regular thing it has its limitations. It's like eating cake or ice cream; these are ' delicacies that are enjoyable in time and season, but as a regular diet most unsatisfactory. Now that we are here we are reminded that next week closes the first semester and then on January 17th we begin our toboggan slide down the last half of the school iyear 1932-33. May it not pass without our having acquitted ourselves creditably in our school work. WE MOURN AGAIN The joy of returning to school on Tuesday Was marred by the announcement that one of our members, Julian Thomas, would return to school no more. His death came as a shock to his school mates many I of whom were not aware of his illness during the past four weeks. A silent tribute to his memory by the 1 students was observed in every class room. We extend to the parents , and relatives our sincere sympathy j in the loss of a promising son, a worthy brother, stalwart and hon- orable young citizen. t DECEMBER CLASSICUM At last Ogden High School has f reached the pinnacle of achievement j in the new Classicum. The staff e should indeed be congratulated on s this splendid addition to the vol- I umes of the past year. The art work, the editorials, stories and i poems put forth in gallant array the result of days of fruitful labor. ( We firmly believe that the stu- I dents of this school are able to appreciate better things; therefore I may express my appreciation to the creators of this Classicum. -Marian Turner. HOP ENJOYABLE Gee, but the hop was a big sue- ? cess. Puddles received his wish (no stags), and Jack Bennett didn't give ! a Hel-en for all the stags in the ? world. The elite of society was : there, consisting of Axle Grease,1 Burp, Puddles, and B. T. B. T., fullback on the All-American pickle, demonstrated his play called the "Shuffle Duffle." The Hunchback of Necking Dame (Pearson) and Hot Loving (Bingham) led the interference. Bingham smashed the line with a mighty Dobbs. The 1 opposing team of Burp and Pud- c dies put up a Greenwell and Burned t the opposing team's fingers. After c all, this is the inauguration of an s unconscious mind. The hop went over big and we all had a good time and lots of sore feet. -Burp. LEAGUE OF NATIONS A representative of almost every country in the world was present at a banquet recently in Room 305. After the introduction of the guests, the Spirit of Christmas (Miss Woolley) gave a fine speech for which a toast Was proposed by Spain (Faye Staker). Hawaii (Marion Rupe) and Italy (Helen Hooper) both told us how Christmas was celebrated in their land. Ireland (Fred Harris) also made a speech for which Poland (Mary Paquette) proposed a toast. We were pleasantly interrupted by no less a personage than Santa Claus (Jim Lazenby) who distributed presents. Toastmistress Clara Johnson proposed that we sing "Jingle Bells." We were accompanied by Manita Clayton. Then after singing "Silent Night," the banquet adjourned. -Mary Paquett. TAU ETA NEWS Just one of those swell shindigs again! (This is our first one.) We had a swell time at Marion Wilson's, and did we eat? We ate so much that I know Mrs. Wilson was ashamed of us. We have a good formula for anybody to follow, but be careful: Marion's house plus her mother's meals equals a swell time. Oh! and say, Mirian, aren't you going to tell us what your secret was? Surely it couldn't be that bad. -Min and Yoosh. CONGRESS PARTY The girls of Congress held a delightful Christmas party on Tuesday, December 27. After going to the theatre (just ask them which one), they went to John's sweet ; uted, and good eats were enjoyed.; ; My only regret about it is that I'm not a Congress member. -Worthy Opponent. SURPRISE ' You remember a few weeks ago ' tha Girls' association brought to s this school an exhibit of the draw- ; ings of Maynard Dixon. In appre- 3 ciation for the many favors Mr. 1 Stewart, the art teacher, has shown 7 his students, they presented to him ' one of the drawings entitled, "The Set UP-" Mr. Stewart was very much surprised and pleased, as he t admires Mr. Dixon's work very much. -Beverly Hall. i i THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1933 Two Youths Chosen For Military Courses Hopkins and Fowler cfj. Ogden High Receive Appointments OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor. t Bobbie Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors. , Joe Fowler and John Weber Hop- kins have received appointments to West Point military academy. This is one of the finest things that hap- 1 pens to Ogden high students. It means four years of strict high class training at government expense and a life job at a good salary to the boy that makes good. ( Ogden has more than a dozen stu- dents who have been graduated from West Point or Annapolis during the j past ten years. We therefore sincerely congratulate Joe and John. We know you will make good and will be an honor to O. H. S. and . Ogden. , STAGE PRODUCTION Harold Rosevear also kisses j "lydies" hands. And by the way- ( Helen Brophy is a lady. Do you j want to see her act like one? It's i La scream. January 13 and 14, South Washington auditorium. 1 REGULAR COUNCIL j Regular council meeting was call- ; ed to order January 3 by President Anderson; the roll was called, the : minutes were read and approved. Miss Dorothy Paine again requested i that all club presidents hand in a complete list of all members. Miss Marian Cheesman, report- i ing for the flag committee, showed a drawing of the flag and described ; it with the firm's letter. The re- jport was accepted. j Reed Berrett reported that the athletic association was in favor of a lower rate on tickets. The report I was accepted and the committee would continue to function. The president gave a complete financial report of the student body money. The report was accepted i and filed with the secretary. Discussion followed on the election of the four assistant editors and the change was explained. The school play was announced for January 13 and 14 at the Washington auditorium. Grant Goddard gave a financial report of the holly hop. The report was accepted and filed with the secretary. It was moved and seconded that Roy Ross with the help of Miss Wooley and Mr. Merrill to set the orice for the school play. The mo- tion passed. , Council then adjourned. THE SECRETARY, i THOUGHT FOR TODAY It is never too late nor too early : to begin to make a good reputation. Get people to believe in you-it is i the greatest asset you can possibly : acquire. O. H. S. slogan for 1933 is, "To school on time, and regularly work hard." FOWLE SPEAKS William Fowle spoke to the high school faculty on Tuesday evening on the subject, "Technocracy." Mr. Fowle evidenced a deep study of economic subjects and gave a very interesting and instructive talk. INTERESTING TIMES The world has never known times just like the present. Economically we seem to have gone awry and no one knows just what the solution of our problems is to be. Most emphatically therefore, students of today must learn to take an interest in public affairs, to be prepared for the uncertain future before us. REALITY Silently, slowly, and sleepily I ambled into my class room, laid my head on my desk and prepared for slumber. When I was just on the verge of Morpheus a sound not unlike a train, a little like the gong which sounds just before the presentation of "Chandu the Magician," and still with many of the characteristics of the distant firing of a cannon, brought me from the arms of slumber to the realization that something very unusual was happening. At first I thought I was just dreaming, but after a thorough pinching I knew I was awake. Then I thought that maybe I was having the same experience as Rip Van Winkle and that the noise I was hearing was the toll of time as the years rolled by. In the last surmise I was partly correct for it was the passing of time-minutes. Only the wall clock, laboriously clanging the class period to a close and also keeping me awake. Although Santa Claus did not bring us a new school building, he did clear the trees away and bring our long-dormant clocks to life. The trees being removed will allow the ' bored students a clear view from the class room windows and the clocks running will serve a four-fold purpose of keeping students awake, telling the time, breaking the monotony of class by its ticking (clank- r ing), and saving those unfortunate . persons who own watches from an- swering the old query of, "Ps-s-st, r how long before we get out of this class?" ) ' JACK BENNETT. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: When is the last day that pictures can be turned in i for the year book? To whom do we j give the print? A SENIOR. E Dear Senior: Why wait until the 7 last day? Get your pictures now and hand them to Mrs. Chambers. AUN TJANE. 3 ANSWER COMES i Dear students: Just a line to let ) you know that I read-your letter in E the O. H. S. notes. It seems, from the gifts you have asked for, that you have never heard of the word t depression but believe it or not the : depression has hit me hard. I am sorry to say that I was unable to give you a new school building for Christmas, but I was able to stop . long enough to get most of those j clocks on the wall to running. r Best wishes for a happy New a Year. SANTA CLAUS. I P. S.: I didn't have time to set y those clocks and so you will have I to get Mr. Wangsgard to go around tf. and do it. SINCERITY s Happy New Year, everybody. How t many resolutions have you broken so far? Perhaps you didn't make s any resolutions, because you were i afraid you couldn't keep them. If this is the case, it's a good thing you didn't because you'd have probably stepped over the lme the first day. Anything we do must he backed up by sincerity if we would attain success. Otherwise the result will be futile and often disastrous. A noted baseball player in speaking of base-running once said. More injuries comes as a result of hall- hearted slides than from the hardest kind of base-running." So it is in the game of life. Sincerity of purpose, backed up by real, honest-to-goodness effort is the thing that counts. Pick out a goal that you can be proud of. Get enthusiastic about it. Remember, a "halfhearted slide" is fatal. THE EDITOR. , |
