It Is open to both f j boys and girls, and, from the num- Iber of inquiries that have been made by pupils of this school, It is thought that Ogden High will make a good showing. ; There is no definite subject; it may be patriotic or it may be on any such subject as honesty or cour- age. The preliminary tryouts will !be held in about the middle of Feb­ruary and the finals will be held at I either the beginning or middle of I March. Ogden High school is competing with Weber, Box Elder and Davis High schools and the winners of the preliminary contests will go to Box Elder for the finals. The winner of the finals will receive a gold watch i A prize will also be given to the school from which the winner comes, so get to work, students, and bring honor to Ogden High school. -Mary Paquette. SENSE OF HUMOR Have you a sense of humor? Be­fore you give your affirmative an­swer consider: do you know and rea­lize the true meaning of the word humor? Webster says humor is wit, merri­ment; a tendency to look at things from the mirthful or congruous side; caprice. Ofttimes other words are mistak­enly connected with the meaning of humor. For instance, sarcasm, irony, "wise-cracking," practical- joking, and vulgarity are often said to be humorous, but they are not. Sarcasm and practical joking often make enemies of friends. We can easily hurt another's feelings through trying to be witty or play­ing practical jokes at their expense. A thing is not truly humorous un­less the joke can be fully appre­ciated by all concerned. A sense of humor is a valuable asset to any personality and if one does not nat­urally know how to be amusing and witty and how to appreciate jokes, with just a little effort he could cultivate a sense of humor and this will improve his personality. HARBINGERS OF SPRING Is it not wonderful to see the many robins that have seemed to come from nowhere to cheer us up? Our feathered friends have a hap­py message for us. Spring (and prosperity) are just around the cor­ ner. If our little friends are willing to tell us that spring is coming, surely we can find a few crumbs and i old scraps to feed to them. For in- j stance, you might pick up a half- t slice of bread which does not seem ( worth eating. That would make a good day's meal for a robin. I am ' sure that if we could help the birds, i they would be more than wilting to i give us a cherry tree concert. In ' spite of the fact that it is very cold, 1 the robin is ready to do his little bit in spreading good will among us.- So I say again, please put out a few scraps for our friend, the i-obin. -Dean Jones. COMING THROUGH I am sure the students of Ogden High are very proud to be able to help in this worthy cause of con­tributing a dime. I believe it makes our deserving principal very happy, too. We sincerely hope that every- ; body feels this way about it. I think that the person or persons who did thfe can now see their folly and will never do such a cowardly act again. Seventy dollars is a large sum of money but that is very small in com­parison with the reflection it throws 1 back. The decorum committee should re­ceive a vote of thanks for the work it has been doing toward this sub- 1 ject. -Juste Moi. D. A. C. ' The meeting of D. A. C. was held 1 Thursday, Feb. 2, in Miss Woolfey's " room. Marion Corey sang "Sylvia."' L Helen Smith gave a reading. Miss Helen Murphy played a piano solo. Old business was taken up and meeting was then adjourned. -Scotty. SURPRISE Weber High school got the sur­prise of its young life Friday night when it was taken in by Ogden High school to the tune of 36-26. The Warriors were proclaimed victors in advance which probably put the fighting spirit and determination in­to the Tigers. At any rate it was; one of the most intense, hard- fought games ever witnessed in the Weber gymnasium. The close guard­ing by the Ogden team prevented the Weberites doing their stuff, and won new laurels for Ogden. We congratulate Weber on its excellent team. TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1933 Attention Called To Low Building Cost Ogden Urged to Get Busy- On New Structure For High School OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood Associate Editors , Everyone says that men should be put to work; that new building programs should be inaugurated, and activity in all lines stimulated. While this is manifestly true, Og­den lies dormant. For the past doz­en ye'ars and more Ogden has need­ed a high school building to take care of the constantly increasing number of high school students and yet nothing is done about it. We have here no gymnasium worthy of the name, no auditorium, no com­forts nor conveniences such as the high school students of other com­munities of this state enjoy. Why do we not get busy and build that new high school that is so sorely needed? In years past we have heard that ( a building that would do Ogden credit could be built for $750,000. A prominent business man said the : other day that such a building could now be constructed for some $400,000 or practically half of what it would have cost when Salt Lake City built her fine structure. Sure­ly, this is an opportune time to build a new high school building. Come on, Ogden, let's go. YEAH, TIGERS You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. If you had read the "dope" about the Ogden and Weber basketball flurry you would not have even i conceded the Tigers a chance to j score, but not so with our spirited players; of course they read the newspaper, but what is Al Warden's opinion against theirs? This game was just one more occasion of the under-dogs getting the last bite. At half time the score was dou­bled for Ogden aJL to _13, and at the final gun the score stoocT2§ to 36 for Ogden and victory. Maurice Kennedy was again high-point man, counting 15 markers, and "Bud" Ellis was next with eight points. Something could be said about each of the boys who performed Friday night, but to save space it will be enough to say, "They went, they saw, and they conquered."-Jack Bennett. P. S.: Although I was much con­cerned over the outcome of "The Crooked Circle," I was more con­cerned about the outcome of the game. REMINDING BOYS Boys, do you remember that nice little girl who took you to the Ac­colade? Do you? Do you remem­ber the good time she showed you? Well, what are you going to do about it? I hear that there is another dance coming up on Washington's birth­day, Feb. 22. The cadet hop, I be­lieve it is called. There's your chance, boys! You can pay that little girl back and treat yourself to a good time also and it will set you back only one dollar. How about it? Will you take me up on it? You won't regret it. Personal: If Printh Willy Nilly will come out of hibernation I think that between the two of us we can scrape up enough of his stolen for­tune to get us both in, even if he has to masquerade as that nice lit­tle girl. If not, we will try to get in the crack company and go to the dance for nothing.-Wash Tubbs. SOMEONE SAID It only takes a few minutes to find in others faults we can't dis­cover in ourselves in a lifetime. Be it good or bad, we are paid for doing it. When a person loses interest in the ((worth-while) things of life, he is as dead as he will ever be.- Janet Fife. IMPERTHONATORTH Thay, have you theen a little chap around anywhere who hath been im- perthonating me? He ith only an ordinary perthon and ith an impoth- er. I have been out theeking ad­venture and learning how thom good fightenth really fight. I have been trying to find thomone who its kind enough to thow me the way back to my cathle. I hear that the rath- cal hath both all my forthune and Pandemonia its in an unroar. I will offer an reward for the capthure of thith perthon and if anybody theeth him I will be tho happy.-The Real Printh Willy Nilly. THE MEANING OF ART Not by its conquest doth a nation live, but by its art-the art that gives its soul embodiment: Today who knows of Troy except through Homer's song?, of Egypt's past did not her sand-swept tombs and tem­ples breathe her somber mystic faith? Not Salamis, the Parthenon is Greece or even this-the sculp­tured head that gives, as naught else does, a god's serenity or, yet again, all girlhood's loveliness. And not by popes or kings-forgot-the Gothic age survives. It lives in Chartrees or in some primitive that paints the Adoration of Child. . . . These-have-net died whose souls live with us yet. Art thou, my country, satisfied to have some delv- er in the coming sands of time find some strange twisted skyscraper and say, "These people knew the early use of steel." Content with that! Where speaks thine own great soul, the liberty of man? Ere thou shalt change-and all life holds within its glowing veins the seed of change- will art not give thy soul embodi­ment? Will it leave that to die? NO EXCUSE There is no excuse for a high school pupil carrying into high school ideas and attitudes of the kindergarten.-Angelo Patri.
