Show THE O. H. S. TIGER, NOVEMBER 15, 1922 Page 5 Society The recently elected sponsors met Monday night and organized a Sponsor club. The first social event will be a dinner party given by the sponsors for the officers. The com-mittee in charge includes Miss Eleanor Agee, Miss Louise Zeller and Miss Roma Knight. Following the dinner the sponsors are to be the guests of the officers at a box party at the Orpheum. Announcement has been made by the Student Body council of the dances to be given this year. The first will be given November 24th. The Christmas dance will be given by the T. N. T. club December 22. The annual girls' Leap Year dance is planned for some time in January. All girls are advised to make their "dates" early to avoid disappoint¬ment. The Cadet Hop and the Junior Prom will be given in the spring. These dances will all be given in the Berthana hall. One of the most unique social events of the season was a Swiss Picnic given last week. The party motored to a sylvan spot adjacent to the Hermitage lunch counter and amid the snow and remains of the merry-go-round, enjoyed a delicious lunch consisting of hot dogs, tamales and buns. Though a little difficulty was experienced in leaving this charming retreat owing to the mar¬velous beauty of the canyon after the snowstorm, the party, including the car finally arrived home in good shape. —O-H-S— R. O. T. C. ASSEMBLY Cadet Battalion Meets in Gymnasium The elements forced the cadets to drill indoors last week. Due to the sudden change in temperature and the snow, the R. ' O. T. C. Cadet Battalion assembled in the school gymnasium to hear what Mayor Francis, Superintendent Hopkins, Coach Kapple and Captain Ryder had to say about the R. O. T. C. in the High School. Mr. Nichols' led the O. H. S. band in a few selections for the entertain¬ment of the cadets and speakers. Mr. Francis gave the boys a rous¬ing good talk and emphasized the fact that the city of Ogden was proud of the work that the R. O. T. C. was doing. He also explained how much- the winning of the Hearst trophy last year by our rifle team, meant, to the city, and assured the boys that the city was back of them. Mr. Hopkins explained the type of boy that was wanted in the Ogden High School Cadet Battalion. He said that there were three types of boy, satisfied, unsatisfied and dissatisfied, and proved that the satis¬fied and dissatisfied species was not wanted, because neither of them was ambitious; but, on the other hand, he showed that the unsatisfied boy is the one who is not satisfied with things as they are, or with what he has, but he wants to get more or better his conditions. Mr. Hopkins believes that ninety-five percent of the boys in the battalion are of this type. Let's prove that his belief is wrong by showing that we are a hundred per cent unsatisfied. Coach Kapple gave the boys some straight facts about the R. O.T. C. He said that there is no better work in the High School than the work prescribed by the government. He advocates the drill in the school to the last degree, and advises that every fellow who is not out for ath¬letics join the R. O. T. C. Let's go! Captain Ryder impressed upon the minds: of the cadets, the importance of the inspection that was to be held the following Friday. Aside from the speeches given by our distinguished guests, good talks were given by Major Ring and Miss Booker. —O-H-S— Dave Holther thinks this is a great old world after becoming a Lieuten¬ant in the. R. O. T. C. and feeling the effects of chlorine gas. We saw Captain Ryder dressed up in a "keen looking" suit of clothes one day last week. In the spring young men’s fancies lightly turn to what the girls have been thinking about all winter. EXCHANGE REPORT THE LOG—We enjoy your inter¬esting magazine. "Say it with music" and "Salty Stuff" are especially clever. THE BOOMERANG—You tell 'em, Box Elder, "we are darn proud that we won from you." THE AVESTA—We think your idea of giving each subscriber to your year book a certain number of votes which they are entitled to vote for the most popular girl in school, is splendid. We are looking forward to the results with interest. THE LEVER—We are quoting the following good advice from your paper: "The editor he sits around And wonders what to write; He looks for news the whole day long And prays for it at night. Well, let's all help the editor With the contribution stuff; Let's deluge him with newsy news Until he cries 'Enough'!" Your editorials are very peppy and readable. THE CRIMSON—Your jokes and editorials are excellent. Have you no pity for your freshmen? THE LINCOLN RAILSPLITTER —Your paper is a whiz! We read it until it is worn out. THE ORANGE AND BLACK— A dandy paper, from start to finish. STUDENT LIFE—We like the column called "Mexican Athletes." THE RED AND WHITE—We are glad to meet "Susie Skandle," but we have a bad head-ache after attempt¬ing to read "Esau Wood arid his Wood-saw." We wish to extend a most hearty welcome to our exchanges, and wish them a prosperous and successful year. School papers from all parts of the country have already reached us and more are coming every day,, We are giving them our kindly criticism and hope that it may be bene¬ficial to them. THE BOOMERANG—Your jokes are up to date but rather scarce. Your editorials are especially good. THE LEVER—We like your sec¬tion called "The Mirror" and are quoting the following-article from it as a suggestion to our contributors: "If you have a bit of news, Send it in. Or a joke that will amuse, Send it in. A story that is true, An incident that's new, We want to hear from you— Send it in. Never mind about the style, If the news is worth the while, It may help or cause a smile, Send it in!" LE PETIT RANGER—Your title is very novel. We cannot help but ad¬mire your determination to make your paper the best in Wyoming. With such tenacity of purpose success is surely yours. Although your paper has only existed for four years, it is even now a credit to your state. THE ROUND UP—We would like to suggest that cartoons or cuts liven up a paper. On the whole your paper is attractive. We'd like to tell the story of crude oil, but it isn't refined. It has been said that our butcher holds the light weight championship. Crookedness never pays in the long run—Look at the corkscrew, out of a job. Of all sad words of tongue or pen, Saddest are these, "I've flunked again." OVERHEARD IN THE OFFICE Dora Smith—"I have lost my light of day." Grace—"Do you want to see Mr. Merrill?" "Kid"—"Naw but I have to." Freshie—"Why do you call money dough?" Mr. Merrill—"Because I need it." Miss Chesney—"One of my Latin students actually told me that this verb is in the ablative tense." "Kid"—"Why did I get an F in drill? I took it until they told me to hand my suit in." —O-H-S— The boys in B company say they would like to shoot Mr. Lentz Cadence. THE VERY NEWEST AT POPULAR PRICES ALWAYS THE FAMILY SHOE STORE 353 Twenty-fourth Street A GOOD EXAMPLE Freshman, innocently: "What's the Tiger"? Cunning Junior: "That's a little animal some of the students seem to be afraid of." The eyes of the Freshman became large and a frightened look spread rapidly over every part of his fair countenance, "Well I thot it said on the bulletin board that 'Tigers' were to be sold Wednesday." "They are." "Do they come from Africa?" "No," wisely, "even though it seems as they are so hard to, secure, all a person has to do is buy a Stu¬dent Body Ticket and he will have no trouble at all getting the Tigers." Somehow, the Freshman under¬stood, and immediately bought a stu¬dent ticket. -O-H-S— An Affliction To prove that a freshman is an affliction. Proof: 1. A freshman is new. 2. New means not old. 3. Not old means not stale. 4. Not stale means fresh. 5. Fresh means smart. 6. Smart means pain. 7. Pain is an affliction. Therefore, A freshman is an af¬fliction. —Ex. We wonder why Mac's company likes to sing so much.

We wonder what Marcus does in the mornings when he does not come to officers' school. Mac never will get a chance to grow now that he has to be to offi¬cers' school at eight o'clock.
