Show FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10, 1933 Parents Welcome At O.H.S Cadets' Party Crack Company Is Making Progress in Drill Preparation OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood Associate Editors Yes, the crack company Is coming j along fine. 'The boys are working hard and promise to show you some- i thing snappy at the reserve officers training corps dance on Feb. 22. ! You'll miss something if you're not there. The sponsors have issued invita- tions to the parents, and we hope they will come and see what has been accomplished in drill. DRAWING NEARER i The march of time says that our cadet hop is swiftly approaching, bringing with it the impressive military atmosphere characteristic I of this grand event. This dance leaves with you and me the ever unforgettable evening when peace persists and boy and girl swing to I the steady rhythm of music. The I "drill team" exhibition and our most I welcome visitors, our parents, should J' cause your judgments to join the army and go to -the hop. The k sponsors of this dance are the cadets I and students of Ogden high. There- I fore take heed and make our dance a success. See you there on the night of Wednesday, February 22.- I. W. O. THE DAILY CARTON News! News! News! This column, folks, is going to broadcast the news of the day, today, and every day (so we hope). If you have any correspondence, address it to "The Daily Carton" and drop it in the waste- paper basket so Frank can read it. We started Wednesday off with a crash when Mr. Merrill came around to the drill rooms and announced that the desks were being broken. The little shavers in Company D suggest that he speak to A company's giants about it. If Ed. Smith doesn't stop giving c preparation tests we are afraid his chemistry students will flunk in all 1 their other subjects. (We will more t than likely flunk in chemistry, any- I way). Personal: To Printh Willy Nilly: 1 Hooray! We are going to the cadet hop. I have succeeded in borrowing a dollar from the royal paymaster, so in order for us to get 5 in you will have to masquerade as 1 that little girl unless you can rake up a buck-Wash Tubbs, editor in 3 pieces. FAMOUS EXCUSES I had to go home, I was ill. I had to go to the doctor. 1 I had to go to the dentist. 3 I had to meet mother down town. I had to go out of town. 1 I had to have my picture taken. i -Nosey Duffy, SCANDAL Can you imagine Deirdre Dobbs i standing out in front of her house s about two a. m., throwing stones i (snowballs) at the porch light? Or Gwen getting her directions 1 mixed up as she travels through the main hall? 5 By the way, which sponsor are you l going to buy your tickets from, the one in the uniforms? We also want to know if the puddle has frozen over during this weather. 1 Has anyone ever seen Dorothy Paine ski? Neither have we. i I Will someone please introduce i Barbara Brown to a few boys and tell her their last names so she won't have to get a date with fellows she doesn't know?-"R" NO GAME Because of inclement weather and poor road conditions it has been decided to postpone the Bear River , game indefinitely but snow having blocked the roads, it was necessary to change the date. The game will probably take place as soon as the roads are made passable. Wait for further announcements. NO DEPRESSION There is no depression in the ; school business. There are thousands ( more of boys and girls in school to- i day than ever before. Although we i have PSjy -two grades in the high school we are crowded to the limit; not only that, we lack facilities for doing our work efficiently. We need an addition to our building and we need it sorely. Thousands of Ogden men need work and business men of , Ogden need business. It seems to us that everybody would be helped a good bit by launching out now in some sort of building program. We believe that is possible to get funds from R. F. C. or elsewhere to start i the ball rolling. Salt Lake City is : going after five million dollars for i repair and building purposes, and expects to put 2,000 men to work. ; Wake up, Ogden, let's go after i things and get going again. We'll always be in the slump unless we . lift ourselves out. Now is the time : This is the time of times. NEEDS OVER-HAULING ; It is apparent that our heating plant needs overhauling. Some thre r or four of our classrooms have beer insufferably cold during every col ! spell this winter, and it is only witl I greatest difficulty that our engineer, : can keep the major portion of ou ; rooms comfortable. If we cannoi have a brand new building we be-i lieve the school architect should bf turned loose on the remodeling anc i rehabilitating of our present plant: L Certainly this could be don p. MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13, 1933. Lack of Hall Blocks School Operatic Aims Music Department Pupils Discussing Proposed Production OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood Associate Editors Last year the high school gave no opera. The question "Shall we have an opera this year?" is one .that is most frequently heard from students in the music department. We have the talent, we have the will, we have the desire to give an opera but we have no place in which to give it. "Oh, my kingdom for _ a horse," cried someone long ago. We cry "O, our kingdom for an " auditorium." r S FORUM y Last Monday night the halls of 11 Congress rang with oratory and de- e bate. Congress and Forum met one r another on the question: "Resolved: That the nations of the world should adopt the bimetalic form of exchange." The affirmative was up- e held by Mr. Hudson and Mr. Berrett of Forum, and the negative by - Miss Linton and Miss Ensign of e Congress. No decision was given, j tv On Thursday afternoon five mem-1 bers of Forum went to Salt Lake City to debate the state question ri again. The affirmative was upheld e by Mr. Parkinson and Mr. Burton, n Their war cry was as follows: "We know what course others may take, Qbut as for ourselves, you may give „ us bimetalism or give us death." The negative team, consisting of Mr. Ross and Mr. James, also en- gaged the West High debaters and ;"with, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for bimetalism," gave a lSfine account of themselves. The debaters from Forum sin- d cerely appreciate the attitude of C-West High school pupils and wish !r to thank them for the courtesy they u extended in welcoming us to theii e school. 2 At our own assembly on Friday the subject was debated before the student body. The affirmative was upheld by Lee Parkenson and Grant Burton; the negative by Roy Ross and Lowell James. The speeches r were very well received. 1 FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS I'm neither sarcastic nor person- ijal-D, O. Peterson. i All my jokes are fast-Roland Stone. Will the following students please c report to the office.-Principal Merrill. Have you a date for the cadet hop?-Anyone. Isn't Mary D. a swell girl?-Inferior. Have you got your Latin?-Grant Aadneson. I forgot my excuse this morning -Many a man and some women. Someone has stolen my books- Guess Who. DANCES AND GIRLS Amazing creations, these bipeds called girls. We formerly used to call them the weaker sex, but alas, like all great things they started from small beginnings (in this case a spare rib) and are slowly rising to their peak. Possibly when the maximum point is reached, they will start to decline. Perhaps? What does all this have to do with what I wish today? Simply this: To we men, girls, practically all the time, are unsignificent individuals, are held in contempt, and are often spoken about in terms uncomplimentary. Then, let us say, comes a dance. Suddenly a transformation occurs. "She" magically becomes that sweet, charming, alluring, superior being, and you wonder if she wijl condescend to allow you to escort her to the dance. You bolster your courage in preparation, meet your ambition, and immediately become so much inanimate clay. Fortunately this stage quickly passes and you ask the fatal question. The damsel answers in the iffirma- tive, and off you go in blissful anticipation. Yep, that's what a dance causes. -Sid Gordon. |
