Page 2 THE O.H.S. TIGER, DECEMBER 13, 1922 Annual Athletic Banquet Given (Cont. from page 1) Kennedy, Paul Wilson, Fred Chez, Ruby Lyons, Clarence Whittier, John Cole, Ray Kirkland, Orville Ander¬son, Keith Ward, Theron Jost and Coach Dixon Kapple. The invited guests in attendance were as follows: Harry Hales, Jesse Beeson, Al Warden and Don Rhivers. The Student Body President, Marcus Mattson, was also present. The affair was held in the cafeteria. The tables were arranged in a "U." Max Stevens added to the appearance of the room by drawing football car¬toons on the walls. The place cards were cleverly designed by Marcus Child. The room was decorated in orange and black. A table in the center of the room was covered with an orange and black pennant that had been won by the high school in 1914. The only thing that was left out of the decorations was the pennant for the 1922 state title, and that would surely have been there if the team had been given a chance to get it. Music was,furnished by the school orchestra under the direction of E. W. Nichols. —O-H-S— ANOTHER GOOD ASSEMBLY A decided improvement was shown in the order of our assembly Wednesday. If we all do our part, we will continue our assemblies in¬definitely. Only two things are re¬quired of the students, one is order in entering and the other is attention during the program. The assemblies are given for us and we would raise a rumpus if they were taken away. It behooves us, therefore, to do our small part. The program was begun with- a saxaphone solo, "Mother Machree," by Emmert Lippincott. We clamored for more but Emmert was bashful, so he and Franklin Richards rendered a duet in an acceptable manner. Several announcements were made. Myrene Rich announced the sale of tickets for the T. N. T. dance. She promised us a better time than we had last year. The tickets are clever, being printed like rail road tickets. For several years past the Tiger has been unable to publish a Classicum. An attempt is to be made this year, but as there is no Classicalia, the great problem now confronting the staff is to get funds. The unan¬imous support of the Student Body is necessary, and Mac Boyd urges that every student buy a leather covered volume. The price is only a dollar more, and the book is much better than a paper covered volume. Nan Emmet, vice-president of the Weber student body, announced a girls' association dance at Weber next Friday. A cordial invitation was extended to all high school students. The Glee Club Community Sing that we have all been looking for¬ward to has been postponed one week. Things of this sort are what we need, and the support of the school should be behind them. Blanche Walberg, our prima donna, sang "The Eternal Flame" for us. Miss Walberg has been appearing at the Orpheum all week, and has scored a tremendous success. The song was composed by Joseph E. Scoville, and Ogden musician. Mr. Frank Jaggers, pianist of the Orph¬eum orchestra, accompanied Miss Walberg. The feature of the assembly was a reading by Mrs. Bertha Eccles Wright, well known Ogden elocution¬ist She read "Ballad of the North¬ern Lights" by Robert Service. A short prologue to the selection gave us an idea of the setting and made the reading more interesting, if that were possible. She held our attention throughout and seemed to lose her¬self in the characterization. We hope to hear from her often. Atwell Wolfer announced the sale of the tickets for "Green Stockings." We may exchange our Student Body tickets for play tickets at the Orph¬eum box office. Miriam Cain: "Is Annie Laurie a hymn?" Louise Z: "No, she's a her." Emmert L.: "You talk like an idiot." Eleanor A.: "I have to talk so you can understand." SOME MORE JUNIOR CHATTER Junior classes have heretofore been noted for the annual Junior Prom¬enade. The class of '24, the present Junior class, have other claims to glory, a few of which are noted below! Much interest and rivalry was aroused by the recent try-outs for the school play. Out of eight or nine young ladies who tried out for the leading position, a Junior was awarded the honor, moreover, a Junior girl took the second most im¬portant part, and a Junior boy took, well maybe not the third, but tke ninth or tenth most important place anyway. Then there is our basketball team. One or two of our players are sure to make the regular team. The boys, captained by Bob Martin and in¬cluding Ben Blackham, Afton Rairie and others equally as good, are do¬ing their best to bring the Juniors out at the head of the basketball class series. The Juniors may be counted on to back the school in every way. A large percentage of the class are the proud possessors of a student body ticket. And they support all student body activities loyally. Then do you remember that Junior assembly just before the Weber game? Do you remember that we gave the team the horse shoe? Do you remember the interesting num-bers that were on the program? It was one of the best we've had'. Quite a list of activities, and the year is yet young. In the near future the class is go¬ing to pull off something that will make all the other classes in school turn green with envy. I'm not say¬ing anything right now but wait till we pull our stunt. Several class parties, hikes, bob- parties, etc., are on the calendar for the rest of the year. They'll all be excellent, of course. Then the Junior Prom—the social event of the year. There's no use talking, this will make a record, and set a precedent for Proms to come. A fitting climax to the spectacular year enjoyed by this spectacular class. See you there!! —O-H-S— MASQUERADE DANCE The Girls' Glee club eutertained at a masquerade dancing party Friday evening. Everyone came masked and costumed to suit the occasion. Among the characters present were the Pirman and his wife of Mother Goose fame. Mr. and Mrs. Hinchcliff, gayly distributed their wares to the dan¬cers,—-darkies, colonial dames', gypsy maidens, small boys and girls and. dark-eyed Spanish senoritas. The faculty members were the spe¬cial guests of the evening and were also judges of the funniest and the most beautifully costumed dancer. Pearl Lochhead was awarded a hand painted vanity case as the wearer of the most beautiful costume, and Norma Smith a silver perfume contained for being the most humor¬ously dressed. During the evening Lucile Olsen and Helen Foster entertained, with ballet dancing to the delight of the audience. As the evening was chilly, the hot tamales that were served seemed especially appropriate. Irene Merrill was in charge of the affair. —O-H-S— ALPHA OMEGA HEARD FROM The Alpha Amegas held a meeting- Wednesday, November 29, in the rest room. Acting as hostesses were Margaret Garrison, Elva King, and Pearl Burch, who planned a very interesting program. The meeting was called to order by the president, after which the report of the secre¬tary was read and approved. It was decided that at every meet¬ing an oral newspaper be given. One was prepared by Pearl Burch, Elva King, and Margaret Garrison, which served as an example. ' Miriam Cane was elected editor of the newspaper. Each member read an original poem, written in free verse. We are wondering how many from the Alpha Omega will be Americas' future poets. A little game was also planned to afford entertainment. Each member including the club advisor, was tagged with a slip of paper bearing the name of some writer. It was some puzzle to guess who we were, 1 but once guessed we were rewarded with a big round shining apple, a cookie, nuts, chewing gum, and last, but not least, an all-day-sucker to help digest the meeting. Before adjourning, the club enjoyed a good old-fashioned chat.

ELDER HEPPLEWHITE'S DREAM One freezing day, about a week before Christmas, Charity Heppelwhite was hurrying down the dirt road which served as a main street for the little New England town of Plymouth, when she saw some sturdy, red-cheeked children dragging a Christmas tree into the front yard of a house. She sighed a little, as she looked after them longingly, and two big tears trickled down her cheeks. She could not help wishing with all her heart that she could have one for her little brother, Jared, who would never be able to walk again, and who was confined to a world that consisted of a big chair and a view from a narrow window. She had faint recollections of the great house in Plymouth, old Eng¬land, where her mother had smuggled her in to see a tiny tree all ablaze with candles; and the gentle Scotch woman had laughed and hushed baby in the same breath, when the little one's glee had become too boisterous. However, all that was changed now. After the death of his wife, John Heppelwhite had deeded his estate in Hampshire to a younger brother and brought his daughter and little crippled son to America. Always profoundly religious, his grief had made him a fanatic; and he was one of the strictest in a town of strict Puritan fathers. He was also an elder in the Puritan church, and a leading member of the council which drove Roger Williams into the wilds. He believed in keeping a stern, un¬relenting hold upon his children, and looked with bonifide anger on any frivility or pleasure, no matter how innocent. Poor Charity had braved her father's wrath only once by read¬ing a book of fairy tales to her little brother when his back was worse than usual, but her father gave her a severe whipping, and the promise of a day in the stacks if she dared to do anything of the sort again. Today as she entered the house a shrill, petulent voice called to her: "Charity! o'h Charity! What are the Pendleton children taking into their house?" Thinking to pacify and interest him, she sat down, and with his scrawny hand in hers, she told him of the merry times across the water. The fire light played across their faces and shone on the polished irons, the dark panelled walls and | the few books on the mantle shelf. These were treatises on religion by Jonathan Edwards, and a copy of Anne Bradstreet's poems with a long dedication in the front written in that good lady's own hand. When Charity finished her glowing account Jared said: "Say Sis. Why .can't we have a tree, too?" A thought fluttered through Char¬ity's mind—why couldn't they? She could easily go down into the for¬est near the house and cut down a Cont. on Page 3 Choose the Gift He Would Select Himself! Christmas! It's right before you.
