THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1933. Editors Give Answer To Column Criticism ! Effort Made To Put Life; Into Lagging Pens of Students OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors Criticism seems to have been a ' chronic state among the students of ' Ogden High this year. The notes ! have received their share-and then some. On one hand some obliging, helpful soul comes out with, "Edi­torials, gosh, no! Give us humor! School life. Nobody ever reads the editorials anyway!" On the other : hand we have those thoughtful, , diplomatic creatures who tell us, ; "the humor you put in the notes is putrid! Sounds like a grave digger at a cocktail party. Give us some­thing we can read, something with body to it! Why not make it clever, witty?" Well, it's your column. The editors chant loud protests at the thought of note monopoly. It's merely a sad condition that exists. The talent either hasn't fully developed or else it's been nipped in the bud. Come on, you suggestive persons who desire real humor! Perhaps your share of wit greatly exceeds the average-we'd be more than de­lighted to set our weary eyes upon such a manuscript. And you oth­ers. Editorials can be made interest­ing if you'll only bring your shining light to bear upon the matter. We have prepared the following in the hope that it might urge some­one's lagging pen on to a supreme burst of genius. The position is al­ways open. We'll be anxiously awaiting the appearance of these remarkable contributions. We hope that there will be no stemming the flood.-Marjorie Wood. Wanted: One first class advertise­ment for coming school dance the Classicalia. Apply O.H.S. Note Box. Desired: An interesting editorial or essay. Answer at ten-thirty a.m. Friday. Needed: Two wholesome articles of humor. Reply Box O.H.S, Notes. Can also use one snappy reporter for Friday's assembly. Wanted: Some young whipper- snapper to travel to Weber gym Monday, March 6, and jot down the event. Is there an archaeologist who is willing to dig among the ruins of O.H.S. and find out if there were ever any clubs?-Bobbie, Want Ad Editor. A.D.M. PARTY The A.D.M. members held a very successful party Saturday, Feb. 25. The evening began with a progres­sive dinner held at home of the members. Who ate the most? Well ask Bernice. After dinner the party proceeded to the Orpheum. The eve- j ning was, all in all, enjoyable.- Helen Froerer reporter. GAMES On Tuesday afternoon the team journeyed to Bear River and took the Bears to the tune of 32-18, to clinch second place in the division. Next Monday the Tigers will play Preston High school for the right to enter the state tournament, which takes place in Salt Lake City two weeks from today. Preston is run­ner-up of the Cache division and boasts a snappy team. Let's "Eat 'em up, Tigers," and show Weber and everybody else that we're head­ed for another state title. This game is scheduled as a preliminary to the Aggie-House of David struggle, so you are assured of two first class games next Monday for the small sum of 25 cents-50 cents if you must have a reserved seat. HOLD THE FORT The superintendents of schools of these United States, met in Min­neapolis this week and discussed ways and means of improving Amer­ican schools. They insist that the schools must not retrogress during these times but must put forth even greater effort to improve the cit­izenship of tomorrow. Here is an old appeal that might very properly be renewed in America today: ! "Men of Athens, I would persuade you, old and young alike, not to take thought of your person or your properties, but first and chiefly to care about the greatest improve­ment of your souls."-Socrates. NEW VOLUME Teachers are considerably inter - ested in a new pedagogical bookj "One Foot on the Ground" written by Earnest Cobb (no relation to i Irvin.) It is a plea for common ; sense in education and is said to be a most helpful book to teachers. We are glad to hear this, as we had :' supposed that the teachers read no books-just assigned books for stu­dents to read. GUESTS AT ORPHEUM Ogden city teachers were guests of the Orpheum theatre Wednesday evening to witness a preview "Sign of the Cross." THE DANCE PAID Sergeants Myer and Holloway had all their worry for nothing. The dance paid for expenses and was a very fine dance besides. We surely liked the cadet hop and we are proud of our R.O.T.C. unit. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1933. Attention Turns To Queen Choice High Qualities Needed By Classicalia Honor Candidates OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Parke Petterson, Editor; Barbara Kimball and Marjorie Wood, Associate Editors March 31 is the date set aside for the gala event of the year. Everyone joins in making this party our big­gest and best. Clubs agree to take certain booths to help make money for the year book. There will be booths to satisfy everyone. There will be horse racing, candy, ice cream, balloon, and many other booths. Faculty members will bring their wives and come to the dance about half an hour early so they will not miss any of the fun. As you know, this is a costume ball and one by one you see your class­mates (if you recognize them) file in dressed for the occasion. Then the dancing starts and all time seems to suspend itself. men comes the climax of the evening. The queen and her attend­ants arrive to rule over the rest of the dance. But, I'm ahead of the story-who will be our queen? As this is the most spectacular event of the year, we want a queen who will well represent Ogden High We want a queen who has charm, poise, grace and dignity; one whom the school will be proud to call their queen. We can't choose a real queen at the last minute. But why think of this when we have practically a month to do it in? The election this year will be by popular vote, so choose the right candidate now, and be sure to look for all these qualities-charm, poise, grace, and dignity. Who will be our queen?-"R." ACCEPT OUR THANKS Alpha Sigma wishes to thank the members of the faculty, the stu­dents, parents, friends and the 1 management of the Weber gym­nasium who made the swimming meet of last Monday evening a success, that is, a financial success. The team did its best but the final score was in the favor of the swimmers from South High of Salt Lake City. However, there will b other meets later on, and we hope to receive the same support from all. -Puddle. ENTRANTS CHOSEN The preliminary tryouts for the D.A.R. oratorical contest, in charge of Mrs. Wade, were held last Wed­nesday evening a.t three-thirty in room 205. The judges were chosen from the history department as the subject was of a patriotic nature. They were: Mrs. Irwin, Mr. Wangsgard, and Mr. Widdison. Five of the contestants were; chosen to compete at the finals to be held next Monday at the home1 of Mrs. John Edward Carver. The winners and their subjects are as follows: Janet Fife, "A Man of the Ages;" Helen Murphy, "A Man of the Ages;" Barbara Reeves, "The Message of the Gettysburg Address as it Applies Today;" Louise Linton, "A Guide for Tolerant Living and Thinking;" Mary Paquette, "The Gettysburg Address in Modern Life." Two will be chosen from this group. Good luck, girls!-M.P. GIFT OF SPRING Spring is here! Yes, real spring is here, and with it comes the real event of the year, the Classicalia. This is not only a dance, but a real carnival. (?) is the sign to be noticed in every student's mind. I'll bet this mark will even be seen on the faces of the students. Don't let it worry you, the queen will be elected, but you won't know who she is until the pageant takes place at the dance. This won't be all, for the clubs yj_have_entertainers, eats, drinks, and balloons to sell. Costumes will be worn by many people, and the pageant will be spectacular, colorful and full of dancing. The time has come to start cam­paigning for the girl you want for queen. Talk it up, students! Talk it up!-Puddle. P.S. How is this, Dale? ORCHESTRA TO PLAY The Ogden High school orchestra has accepted an invitation to pre­sent one or two numbers on the program in the L.D.S. tabernacle on Sunday evening, March 5, at seven- thirty p.m.-Joseph Schwartz. REPORT CARDS OUT Report cards were issued Wed­nesday. They should have been signed by the parents ere this and returned to the teachers to be filed at the office until the close of the next six week term. Report cards are issued six times per year in all Ogden schools. TO FURNISH PROGRAM The music department of Utah State Agricultural college will offer the assembly program Thursday next at eleven-ten a.m. Numbers from the opera, "Faust," will be pre­sented. R.O.T.C. RECORD The R.O.T.C. attendance record during the month of February was the best in the history of the school. Only five boys failed to qualify. The American Legion cup will be given in May to the company hav­ing the best record. The cup is proving to be a good incentive for better attendance and better work. AMERICA'S TEST "America today faces a choice be­tween the child and the dollar. It can not afford not to put the child first. Any other policy destroys progress. The first and last test of the statesman is his attitude toward education. If he can not meet the test, he has no place in public life. Only as the schools move forward today can government, industry and the standard of living move for­ward tomorrow."-Contributed.
