A HOLIDAY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY The TIGER ARE WE THANKFUL? YEA BO! VOLUME III. OGDEN, UTAH, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 291922 Number 5 O.H.S. FORFEITS TITLE "Green Stockings" Nearly Ready For Presentation SCHOOL PLAY TO BE A WINNER Here's Some "Inside Dope" What is all this chatter one hears about colored hosiery at the High school? It's in the air. One can¬not escape it! I understand that even some of the dignified R. O. T. C. officers are bemoaning the fact that Uncle Sam will not permit them to wear green socks instead of the re¬gulation "putts". I am informed that on December thirteenth the whole student body intends to gaze on ver¬dant-clad limbs. But why, oh why? have the stu¬dents suddenly decided to don Spring's favorite in chill and bleak December? Sh! Now "Mum is the word!" Celia Faraday alias Bonita Schowcroft, has secretly decided to catch in a very unique way, the partner of her little "love nest." And you must see how beautifully Colonel J. N. Smith, D. S. O. alias Phil Ring, falls for her little trick. Of course Celia's snare brings other men in also. There is the dignified crabbed old Admiral Grice, who in real life is no other than our little blonde friend Alyson Smith. One can hardly realize that our serious minded lieutenant Ralph Kenney, would really try to make love to her. But in the person of Jim Ra¬leigh he also becomes a subject to her charms. He has a bitter rival in Henry Steele, who assumes the name of Lawrence Russell on the roster. Of course Celia's plot receives the hearty endorsement of all her rela¬tives. Probably the most enthusias¬tic one however, is the little baby sister Phyllis. Faraday La Von Trapp, who is very anxious to marry her "don't-you-know" "lover, Robert Tarver, who by the way has great political aspirations. Little Marcus Mattson was chosen for this part be¬cause we felt he had had wide experi¬ence both in the political field and with ladies. Carl McGinley, as Mr. Faraday is certainly in the right place. After making such a hit as the father of a family in the Junior play last year, it is conceded that no one else in the school could take the part as well as Carl can. Decide for yourself at the show, December thirteenth. Nona Wallace also has a part simi¬lar to the one she carried so effec¬tively last year in the Junior play. As the aunt of the family and addressed as Aunt Ida, Nona can¬not be beaten. See if she can! Kathrine Fisher and Madge Ash¬ton both have parts that require real talent. And to say the least these parts are not slighted. A very strenuous part is taken by Marcus Child, Marcus intends to be the hit of the play and he no doubt will. What part can he be taking? The best way to find that out is to be there and see! —O-H-S— Robinson Crusoe was a great con¬tortionist. He climbed into his cave and sat on his chest. Teacher: John, read the sentence, "Where are you going?" John: "Where are you going." Teacher: No! read it as if that little mark at the end meant some¬thing. John: "Where are you going, little buttonhook?" ESSAY AWARDS GIVEN IN ASSEMBLY Mrs. Falck Presents Awards Our order in the last assembly was pitiful. Mr. Merrill's rebuke was justifiable. After the noise subsided, an excellent program was given. The school joined in singing Amer¬ica. We were a little sketchy on the words, but the spirit was good enough to make up for that. Mrs. Falck, of the Service Star Legion, talked to us on the Gold Star drive. Mr. Malone, father off our Harry Malone, who died in the same year of his graduation, was introduced. Mrs. Lydell, mother of first boy killed in the war also was presented. Mrs. Falck then announced the winners of the essay contest. Elva King, winner of the first prize, read he ressay. Margaret Garrison, and Myrtle Philpot were also prize winners. Because of the literary merit of their efforts, William Hutchings and John O'Niel were awarded special prizes. Mr. Stewart announced that he was going to talk about the pictures at the art exhibit. He neglected to men¬tion the fact that two of his land¬scapes were hung there. The assembly sang The Star Spangled Banner. Mr. Merrill ex¬plained the attitude of the State Athletic Association and strengthened our conviction that we are right. President Mattson presided at the meeting and brought a snicker from the audience when he passed the hot remark that "Basketball was to come YET." So we may say that the assembly was a success and we hope that more like it are to come YET. —O-H-S— "Etaoinshrdin comfwry pobykg," are the Eskimo words for "I love you." No wonder their nights are so long. Hey diddle de diddle Try solving this riddle, Written by me in a rush: How many flips of an elephant's hips Could make a geranium blush? —Ex —O-H-S— NOTICE Do not forget the Glee Clubs' Community Sing on Friday, Decem¬ber the eighth. Everybody come! SUPPORT YOUR TIGER1 Students Attention! Your Tiger is starving for want of support. Each Wednesday that he takes his semi-monthly prowl, how enthusiastically he starts on his promenade, only to return to his of¬fice, a disappointed, disallusioned ani¬mal, to mope in his cage for weeks afterward. Yes, your Tiger is starving, but through no one's fault but yours; for no creature can live on cold shoul¬ders and disdainful glances—and those are what he gets. What's the matter? If you don't like the color of his stripes, say so—let our staff know. Help them make the Tiger what you want him, but do not let him starve. Support your Tiger! EAST HIGH AGAIN WINS STATE TITLE Box Elderites Fail to Show Supposed Class The East High Leopards proved their superiority over the Brigham grid machine last Saturday by roll¬ing up a large score. For the fifth consecutive time the East high grid- ders have captured the state inter- scholastic football title by defeating Box Elder 38-to-0. The Leopards clearly demonstrated their superiority over the Brighamites. Although the Brigham agregation put a stiff fight against their Red and Black oppon¬ents, they were completely out¬classed. Long forward passes on the part of East high seemed to dazzle the Box Elder players. Taufer of East high, kept his opponents' brains in a whirl with his long suc¬cessful forward passes. The Leopards displayed a remark¬able knowledge of inside football, their trick plays and features being pulled off in rapid precision. East High will journey to the Colorado Springs High school for the Colorado-Utah title. —O-H-S— FIRST SIGNS OF 1922-23 BASKETBALL Hoops Put Into Use by Freshmen and Juniors Oh Boy!! Look what's coming. The first signs of basketball were seen in the school last week. Mem¬bers of the Junior and Freshmen classes broke the ice by emerging from the athletic room in basketball togs. A dash up the hall to the gymnasium v/ith the ball was the first action to be seen. The ball was put into motion, and the old basket¬ball season was started. The old game this year holds a great number of opportunities for the Ogden high school. With Clark on the roster it is expected that we can produce a team that will wallop 'em all. Clark was a star hoop artist in the army and as much support is expected from him in basketball as he gave us in football. Our only hope is that a "state title" game will still be known of, when it comes time for it. JUST A REMINDER A Tip From the Juniors Those Juniors are up to something again. A Blond Flash dashed up to the lively Junior reporter and recited the following: Listen, old timer and you shall hear How the Juniors give a grand prom every year The Prom in the year of '23 Will beat all others by a five foot lead. But here he bent over and whis¬pered in a loud voice, "You know, confidentially them things cost money." With this on his mind he departed. So fellow students and sufferers, save your nickels and dimes, because some day soon the Juniors are going to take them away from you— and what's more, you'll like it. THE FACTS ABOUT THE RECENT ATH¬LETIC IRREGULARITY Following are the facts that were presented to the Utah High School Athletic Association by Mr. Merrill: Ogden High school opened Mon¬day, September 11. Thursday, Sep¬tember 21st I told Captain Norton that any students who expected to play football should register and at-tend school at once, as the school could not afford to play any man who was not doing regular school work. Norton took a card to Clark who filled it out. The card was re¬turned to my desk the next morning by Captain Norton, who reported that Clark was working during the day and could not attend at once. Realizing that Clark was not to at¬tend classes at that time I laid the card at the side of my desk until he should report. On Monday evening, October 9th, I made out eligibility cards for all our prospective players. Thursday afternon, October 12th, I received word from Mr. Ashton that several of our players were ineligible. I immediately took our records to Salt Lake to see Mr. Ashton. Matters were satisfactorily explained and he made out cards for all our boys who played throughout the season. I explained to Mr. Ashton at this time that all of our players were ex¬cellent students, that I had no ques¬tion at all with respect to any play¬ers, with the possible exceptions of Daryal Clark and Frank Sullivan, i said: "These men are qualified so far as past record is concerned but they are just entering schol this week and I do not purpose playing them tomorrow as I must be assured that they intend to attend school regularly and keep up their work." I had vol¬unteered this same information to Coach Anderson the day before when he called at my office. I said to him at that time, "I will not play a 'ringer'; these boys must show that they are 'bona fide' and mean busi¬ness." We did not play them in the first league game—that with Davis, October 13, and for the reason given. The boys attended school that week and the next and evidenced good faith. We played both boys with Box Elder, October 20th. October 25th, Mr. Ashton came to our school with the statement that Box Elder had requested an investi¬gation. I gave him every assistance, threw open our records, and told him that we had no fears of consequences, as we were playing fair and square. When he got through I said, "Ash¬ton, we are playing square, and there isn't a thing against us?" He said, "no, I do not see that a thing can be done, but they asked me to make an investigation, and I've done it." When we received Ashton's letter re¬porting his findings, we paid little attention to it, as we did not see an incriminating thing in it. We went on playing our games. We won the division championship and were cele¬brating it Monday morning, Novem¬ber 13th, when our joy was turned to dismay and bewilderment, by receiv¬ing the following telegram from President Moss: "Ineligible to par¬ticipate farther in football. All games forfeited. Particular cases Clark and Skeen. Letter follows." We did not wait for letter. Coach Kapple and I Cont. on page 2) CHEER UP - BASKETBALL IS OUR NEXT CHANCE
