Page 2 THE O. H. S. TIGER FEBRUARY 14, 1923. TEN PERIODS OF SCHOOL MISSED IN TWO WEEKS For the first time in quite a spell the _ students were treated to the glorious sensation of freedom from pne period of school without being marked absent. This unusual happen-ing took-place last'week." The Davis game was the cause of the excite¬ment. Those who were not in school missed the thrill of their lifetime. The ninth period was eliminated, so that the students could catch the three-thirty train for Davis. The second happy day made pos¬sible through Mr. Lincoln, Monday, February 12, was the birth-day of one of our greatest Americans. For the first time in several years the schools were shut down and the students allowed to think about Mr. Lincoln and how much he had-done for the people and what he was doing for them now. The students were almost knocked to the floor when they heard that there would be no school Monday. After they came out of the dreams, great plans were laid and everybody was rarin to go. —O-H-S— TWO PEP RALLIES OF NOTE Two old-fashioned pep rallies were staged during the last two weeks. One was for the benefit of the Davis- Ogden game and the other for the Weber-Ogden game. The first proved successful as far as winning the game in concerned. The second one was all right in itself but did not have any effect upon the students at the game. We cannot say for sure whether or not this had anything to do with the losing of the game. However, we do know that the team deserves more support than the students give it. A great change is needed in our pep rallies, when we get this change we need more of them. —O-H-S— MISS AGEE RESIGNS POSITION AS SOCIETY EDITOR For several reasons Miss Eleanor Agee resigned her position on the Tiger staff. Miss Agee filled the position of society editor very ef¬fectively. and was very much disappointed when she found that she could no longer hold the position. We wish to thank Miss Agee for her very attentive work on the staff, and are extremely sorry to lose her. —O-H-S— WHO'S WHO IN THE CAFETERIA Glee Club Gives Luncheon Many of the students would like to know what is going on in the cafeteria on Thursdays. It's the girls' and boys' glee clubs— but don't tell anybody! On February first, they had their first lunch together and everyone had a splendid time. There was quite a bit of confusion over finding the right places, for everyone had ordered his own lunch. The boys, who went down to the cafeteria at the fourth period, had everything ready for the girls when they arrived. Miss Gretta Lextenburg played sev¬eral piano solos, and accompanied Miss Blanche Walburg, the honored guest, who sang "Smilin' Through." Miss Walburg also gave a farewell speech. Professor Hinchcliff played for the students to sing and everyone was sorry when the lunch was over. Last Thursday everything was more uniform. There was was not so much noise. Mr. Marcus Mattson was the honored guest. He gave a splendid speech. Professor Hinchcliff taught the club to vote by music. Mr. Franklin Richards was elected chairman of the glee clubs' luncheons. —O-H-S— RIFLE TEAM MATCH¬ING SHOTS WITH EL PASO TEXAS TEAM The rifle team is now firing on the gallery range in competition with the El Paso high school gallery shooters. We do not know how this school in Texas shoots, but we do know that they are not going to slip it over on us like the Oakland Hi did. CADETS TREATED TO MOVIE AT CENTRAL JR. In honor of Lincoln's birthday, a' Lincoln picture was shown at the Central Jr. High School for the bene¬fit of the cadet battalion. The battal¬ion was marched down in a military manner to the school and enjoyed the picture from eight forty-five until nine forty-five. The title of the picture was "The Highest Law." Although a great deal of time was lost due to the trouble that was had with the picture machine, the cadets enjoyed the picture very much. It is hoped that we will be for¬tunate enough to see more pictures at the Central Jr. —O-H-S— MORE MOVING PICTURES TO BE SHOWN, CENTRAL JR. Principal D. H. Adams announced at the last meeting of the cadets in the Central Jr. auditorium that there will be two pictures shown xh -the. school hall next week. "The Tale of Two Cities" and "The Last of the Mohicans," are the pictures to be run. The cadets will be allowed to come down to the school in the mornings during drill period and see these pictures. —O-H-S— CADETS HEAR ABOUT THE ORGANIZING OF CADET BATTALION Mr. Meissner, a loyal supporter of the Ogden high school and its R. O. T. C. unit, spoke to the cadets at the Central Jr. high school about how the cadet batalion was first started in the high school. He also touched upon the subject of true American¬ism and how fortunate a person is to live in the greatest land in the world, the United States. Mr. Meissner was one of the in¬stigators in the organizing of the cadet batalion in the O. H. S. After the boys of the school decided that they wanted an organization of this kind and did not know how to go about it to get one, Mr. Meissner suggested that they draw up a peti¬tion towards the cause. Mr. Meissner helped them put it over, and now we have one of the finest R. O. T. C. units in the U. S. Mr. Meissner told of a few ex¬periences in traveling through Ger¬many about the way the Germans feel towards the United States. He says that no foreigner can under¬stand what there is about the U. S. that evervbody "falls" for so strong¬ly. Mr. Meissner was born in Ger¬many but is one of the best Amer¬icans in Ogden. Sergeant Halloway has noticed that Mr. Meissner is the only man that takes off his hat to the American flag, and applauds the cadets when they pass in parade down town. —O-H-S— OFFICERS AND NON- COMS TANGLE IN FAST HOOP CONTEST 14-6 The officers and non-commissioned officers of the R. O. T. C. mixed in p flashy hoop struggle last week, February 2, to be exact. The non-coms held the upper hand throughout the fracus, displaying a keen knowledge of the- game. Their Moor work and ability to cage field goals was an outstanding feature^ for such amateurs, however they gained a 14 to 6 victory over their superiors. It would be very incorrect to say that the officers played their best game during this affair. Overconfidence seemed to lose for them. For this reason we believe that the non- coms could not repeat their remark¬able feat. Blackburn was the star for the winners. Two of the members of the non-coms' team are men who are out in togs and practice every even¬ing with the school's best basketballers. No one of the officers starred, in the game. O. Crosby , scored,, high for the officers. This was the first game of this sort. It is hoped that more inter- nanv games, and mixed games can be played in the cadet unit. OTHER THINGS THE ARMY DOES BESIDES FIGHT Who built the Panama canal, the Erie and the Chesapeake, and the Ohio canals?—the Army. Who con¬structed and operated the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the Northern Central, and practically all our rail¬roads prior to 1855, including the transcontinental lines?—the Army. Who opened up the West, protected the early settlers, and made nearly all the early surveys of state and federal boundaries?—the Army. Who policed the frontiers, built the roads, constructed and operated the cable and telegraph systems of Alaska, thus linking it with the civilized world?—the Army. It was the Army that built the Washington monument and the Li¬brary of congress; that first de¬veloped the principle of interchange¬able parts in manufacture. It is the Army that is foremost in the hazard¬ous development of aviation; that has scorched for a generation uhder the tropical suns of Panama, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines in order to stabilize these governments; and that is always on hand in civil crises, be they fires, flood or famine. Who was America's great pioneer bacteriologist?—Sternberg. Wo built the best locomotive of his time and was chosen by the Czar of Russia to build a' railroad from St. Petersbufg to Moscow?—Whistler. Who made the discovery that stopped the rav¬ages of yellow fever the world over? —Reed. Who successfully introduced and developed the serum that banish¬ed typhoid fever in the United States?—Russell. Who eradicated tropical anemia in Panama and was called by the British of Africa for the same purpose?—Gorgas. It is Wood who is putting the Philippines in order after a lifetime ; of similar service. It is Crowder of World War draft fame who is cod¬ifying the laws of Cuba. It is Goethals who is Fuel Administrator for the state of New York. It is Lord who is director of the Budget. It is Harbord who is president of the Radio corporation of America, and it is Squier whose many inventions are contributing so materially to the de¬velopment of wireless and other systems of communication. These are but a few of the civil accomplishments of American sol¬diers. Their feats of war are famous; what a pity that this glorious peace e record is not more generally known! GIRLS' CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES Attention!;) Company! Forward March! Wh^re? To the girls'basket¬ball games .Friday the 16th, at 3:30. Did I hear! .you say boys that you didn'tvknow the girls had a basket-ball series? Well, of course that's "Just like a man." Mary Roberts Rhinehart was right—but men and others just wait! As soon as Edna Mae Booker has given her oration on, "Women in Politics" things are "going to change! But to come back, have YOU *ever Seen the girls play? Every morning Miss Stookey arid Coach Kapple ffaay be seen arguing ^s to which has the better teams. Of coufse THEY can't decide so YOU come to the games and let's decide the matter. Miss Stookey insists that Evelyn Palmer is taller and can jump higher than "Rudy" but of course she had to admit that "Rudy" was much the bet¬ter looking. Then there's Bernice Harris—she j plays the same sort of a game as Bill 1 Cox with the exception that SOME of her long shots go in. There has been a good deal of talk about substituting lone Paine in El¬more's place on the first team but Kapple said the only objection was thai every time lone had the nose-bleed she would insist on having a clean towel, and of course that would be an unnecessary expense. Bobbie Martin needn't think he's the I only person who can be in two places I at the same time. The Addelson 'Twins' (we had to mention them both I because no one in this world or the I next, knows which is which) guards I say that they are always in the place where you think they are'nt. We are sorry to print the following, but—after seeing the Junior girls play the other day Kapple insists that Ben Blackham must have shown all r the teams best plays? to Kathryn Huss. Now fellows—come let's support I the girls! They get no awards for I their hard work! Their bumps and sprains hurt just as much and a vic¬tory or defeat means just as much to them as it does to you. Just one more line before we "wish you one and all a fond good-night. [ That's this! Don't forget, crowd that f the girls do NOT play boys' rules. Did I hear three' cheers for the I girls, Emmert? Thank you. O, yes, have you heard that the two E all-day suckers Miss Stookey had the I other day, came from "Lippy" with the understanding that she. keep Dorothy Vail from leading the yells. You know how he likes to do ALL F the shining. —O-H-S— First Souse: "Hie." Second Souse: "Hick." First: "Don't you talk back to me!" "I'm worried about my complexion. Look at my face!"
