Page 2 THE O. H. S. TIGER, OCTOBER 18, 1922. MORE BOYS WANTED IN THE R. O. T. C. GOOD POSITIONS OPEN More members are wanted in the R. O. T. C. If enough boys will join to form another company, then two more lieutenants, a captain, and a ma¬jor will be needed. With these posi¬tions open there is something to work for. There is plenty of clothing in the orderly room and a deposit of five dollars will start you out. If you haven't the five, you can sign a note. There are two departments in O. H. S. that should be considered by every male student. One is the ath¬letic department and the other is the military training department. If you go out for athletics, you have made a good move. If you are not athleti¬cally inclined then you should enlist in the R. O. T. C. Those who are not out for both these branches are the weaklings of the school. Their ex¬cuse is, "I have a doctor's certificate." Some fellows go so far as to join both branches. To these men, most credit is due. They are usually the most successful students in the school. LET'S GO!!! "EVERYBODY OUT FOR ATHLETICS OR DRILL" —O-H-S— COMMERCIAL CLUB ORGANIZED AGAIN Something Doing Already The commercial club of the Ogden High School has been reorganized under the direction of Mr. Leigh. Mr. Elmore Smith was elected president of the club. Overton Zinn, another well known figure in the school, was elected vice-president. Leon Keller was elected secretary while Ben Blackham was elected to take care of the club funds. A constitutional committee has been appointed and they, acting with Mr. Leigh, are drawing up a constitution. A meeting of the club was held Thursday of last week, and plans were laid for a club "get acquainted ban¬quet." Keen interest was shown by every one when president Smith sug-gested a club banquet. This was probably due to the fact that there was a chance to get in on some "eats". Do you remember the Commer¬cial club of two years ago, the one which was organized by Vern Mattson? Well, that was the snappiest club in the school at the time but this year the commercial club hopes to improve fifty per cent over the commercial club of 1920-21. It will be quite a task but it will be done. WATCH THE COMMERCIAL CLUB THIS YEAR!! —O-H-S— PEP RALLY HELD IN ASSEMBLY HALL Yells Were Practiced for the A. C. Game A pep rally was held in the as¬sembly hall last week. Bob Brady was the main attraction. He franti¬cally lead the crowd in some yells. Bob created quite a sensation with his weird motions and unlimited leaps and bounds around the floor. The president of the girls' glee club gave a "short long" speech on what the girls' glee club was doing and what they intended to do. The presi¬dent of the boys' glee club entertained us with a solo. Our notable ex-yell- leader was called upon to lead us in some yells. He also got us into a singing humor. After a few songs were sung the meeting was dismissed. —O-H-S— BOYS' GLEE CLUB INCREASES IN NUMBER The Boys' Glee Club of the Ogden High School was very small at the first of the year, but through the efforts of the boys, it has increased to quite a number in the last week. The Girls' Glee Club aspires to be the most "peppy" organization in the school; however by the way the boys are working, it looks as if the boys' organization will not be very far be¬hind. We promise to have a "musical" program each week. Those who want to support their school the best way, come and join the Boys' Glee Club. We have a jolly time and a fine instructor. We meet every day the fourth per¬iod in Room 303. (If you lunch this period, lunch with us)! CADET UNIFORMS ISSUED; EVERY MAN IN R.O.T.C. IN UNIFORM A cadet uniform has been issued to every member of the R. O. T. C. This can be proven by the fact that there are only a few more clothes left in comparison to the stack they had before the issue began. A neat appearance is presented by the different units in the batallion, and when the batallion gets together in a parade or a review the boys show up like a "million dollars" in their uniforms. The overseas cap is the feature of the dress because of the jaunty way in which it is worn. PERMANENT CADET OFFICERS CHOSEN More Officers Needed Permanent cadet officers have been appointed to carry on the R. O. T. C. work as prescribed by Captain Ryder. These officers have been in charge for nearly two weeks and their res¬pective companies and platoons are rapidly rounding into shape. With the aid of Sergeant Halloway, excep¬tional progress is being made with the new members of the unit (rookies) and it is expected that the battalion will be ready for the first inspection, scheduled for an early date. At present there are only three companies organized, which form a battalion. Following are the officers and their respective positions: Emmeret Lippincott, Cadet Lieuten¬ant Colonel. Phillip Ring, Cadet Major. Leon Keller, Cadet Captain, assigned to "Co. B." Marcus Mattson, Cadet Captain, as¬signed to "Co. "A." Mac Boyd, Cadet Captain, assigned to "Co. C." Lamont Hendershot, Cadet First Lt., assigned to "Co. A." Ralph Kenny, Cadet First Lt., as¬signed to "Co. B." Theron Jost, Cadet Second Lt., as¬signed to "Co. A." L. Summerill, Cadet Second Lt., as¬signed to "Co. .B" A. Ririe, Cadet Second Lt., assigned to "Co. C." Orin Stigers, Cadet Battalion Ad¬jutant. As several more officers are needed, competition is running high in the men, an dthe chances are open for everyone. There is still plenty of clothing in the orderly room and it is the de¬sire of Captain Ryder to issue this clothing to some new recruits. Watch the R/O. T. C. this year!! INSPECTION TO BE HELD IN R. O. T. C. Annual Fall Inspection Expected Soon The annual fall inspection of the R. O. T. C. in the Ogden High School is expected to be held soon. As no set date is given, the unit is preparing and intends to be ready for it any day. The inspecting offi¬cer will come from San Francisco. A practice review and inspection was held in the park last Wednesday. Although many mistakes were made, the review was a credit to the school. With a little more training we think the boys will be able to put over an inspection that will lead the 9th Corps Area. —O-H-S— THREE HUNDRED ENROLLED IN R.O.T.C. Nearly three hundred boys are reg¬istered for drill in the R. O. T. C. Out of this unmber there are three companies, a band, an officers' staff, a bugle corps and color bearers. Three companies in the battalion are A, B, and C. "A" company consists of eighty- eight men, "B" company seventy- eight and "C" company seventy-five. The band has an enrollment of twen¬ty-three while the bugle corps con¬sists of eight cadets. —O-H-S— AUTOMATIC RIFLE ARRIVES The automatic rifle which has been expected so long has at last ar¬rived, packed in the "cleanest" grease that the government could buy. Enough magazines were sent with the rifle to allow every one a good chance to learn how to load the gun. Grease and extra parts were also sent with the gun. This gun will fire about five hun¬dred shots per minute. It is of the latest model and can be carried as easily as an ordinary rifle, although it shoots faster than a machine gun. Sergeant Halloway had the time of his life the first day it was here. Ask him how he spent the day. Although it is impossible to hit the side of the mountains with this gun if you are an amateur, some good automatic rifllemen are expected to mature in the R. O. T. C. Afton Ririe is big enough to act as first and second Lieutenant in the miniature company. That's why they haven't appointed a second "louie" for that army. Yes Sir, Here's Your Overcoat! $25. to $60. THE style you want, the fabric you want and the workman¬ship you want — you get them all here at the Home of the Overcoat Ulsters to defy Winter's stormiest blasts; Ulsterettes for style, as well as comfort; Chesterfields for the conservative dressers — the whole Overcoat family welcomes you at value-giving prices. Nye’s Mens and Boys’ Apparel in the Eccles Building Ogden, Utah CADET OFFICERS' SCHOOL BEING CONDUCTED At an early hour in the morning one can see cadet officers rushing to school. The school is conducted from 8 to 8:30 a. m. Although this works quite a hardship on some of the officers, every one manages to be on time. The purpose of the school is to get the officers together and argue out points of confusion. A great deal of military work can be learned at these schools. If any non-commissioned officers wish to attend, they are welcome. —O-H-S— R. O. T. C. FURNISHES FIRING SQUAD Last Wednesday the military de¬partment of the Ogden High School furnished a military escort and fir¬ing squad for the funeral of William Humphrey Van Noy, a veteran of the Spanish-American war. This was the first time this year that the R. O. T. C. has sent out a firing squad. Last year and the year before several occasions arose when the R. O. T. C. was called upon to furnish a firing squad. Sergeant Halloway was in charge of the squad and deserves a great deal of credit for the work he has done. —O-H-S— R. O. T. C. SIDE STEPS Shorty Ross drills a wicked "war- frat" squad. Shorty can be heard for blocks, even though he isn't so large. Marcus Mattson has a terrible time keeping things straight with his first Lieutenant. Mac Boyd had his company made to order. Mac measures about two inches shorter than the tallest man in his outfit. Ask Montie how to do, "right front into line." Phil says that being a major is the softest snap yet. Phil is still try¬ing to get a promotion. He thinks that the Lieutenant Colonel job is easier still. You'll have to see Emmert about that. Theron says commanding a platoon is all right, but when it comes to wearing that cute little cap the story becomes less serious, on account of laughter. Ralph Kenny thinks that the change from toreador pants to breeches and leather putties is quite as much the extreme as changing from High School to Weber. Lieutenant Summerill thinks that he has a pretty good platoon be¬cause they know more than he does. He also figures to take luck when it comes. ARE YOUR EYES BEHAVING WELL?
