Show THE O. H. S. TIGER, FEBRUARY 28, 1923 Page 5 A HERO In a well know dog city were some prominent dogs having a heated ar¬il gument behihd the closed doors of a J large dog kennel. They were discussing whether or not they should de- | dure war on the cats or whether it K would be better if they should cap- i' ture the rnigleaders. A large yellow I collie dog whose name was "Ship" and who was the mayor of this city of dogs began by saying, "If we do t not capture the ringleaders there will I be new ones who will spring up to I take their places and we will be I bothered all our lives by these pesky I old cats." Then a large bulldog got up and 1 s>aid, "Last night just before I entered K my home I saw two large black cats leave and when I entered the house I found my wife half beaten to death and her house was almost turned l upside down! My wife resisted thern I, when they tried to make her tell I them where she kept her money. 1 Finally they made her tell after they I had pulled her hair and burned her | paw-,7 Mr. Bulldog paused for a F few moments to wipe the tears from i his eyes and then he went on. "If you do not declare war on these I outlaws I will collect a few of my friends and kill all of the rascals." f lie then seated himself calmly and I began to argue with the white dog L next to him. After about two hours more of | heated discussion, the conference of I dogs at last decided to declare war on their enemies, because they were I a danger to the safety of the citizens. The dogs did not have a hard time to gather troops because they were all eager to get rid of their enemies. B At the first call for enlistment the I city was in a hustle and everywhere I you could see small, large, thin and I' fat dogs in uniforms. [ After a few weeks of drill the dogs gave a parade. Watching them drill ; ft was a little yellow curly haired dog j who was so interested that he ran j away from his little mistress, a little ^Krl about seven years of age. I The curly-haired dog whose name was Pat weht up to the enlistment K,office and asked to enlist. After ex- Hymning him the officer said, "How Bold are you my young man?" Then Pat exclaimed very weakly, "Ten months, sir." The officer replied, "My boy, 1 fear you are too young; you have to be one year old before yon can enlist and . we cannot be bothered with babies." Pat left the office said at "heart, but I h. determined to go to war; He I waiud a few days and then went Rback to the enlistment office. This Hdme he told the officer that he was Kipurteen months old and he was gladly accepted. He was giten a few weeks' train- King with the rest of the dogs and Was sent to the front. When they Mhfere leaving he could hear on_ all sides of him the mothers and wives of the other dogs, weeping and caus- ing a lot of confusion for they were [afraid they would never see their I dear ones again. When Pat arrived at the front he did not find it as he had expected- I He thought it would be some beauti- ful place where he could have a good B time 'but, instead there was nothing but muddy trenches and dying friends. As time went on Pat be- I came very lonesome and when he would not receive any mail he would almost .wish he were dead. One night the commander came B and asked for a volunteer to go on a dangerous expedition, ,Pat volun- leered because he thought he might K as well get killed as some poor dog I who had some one who cared for I him. IJj. Pat was given, the message and was I told what to do. After much crawl- I ing and crouching most of his way 6ver, he at last got into the enemies' [ linos. He traveled all night and at last he delivered the message. He I was on his way back when he was attacked by a large gray cat. Pat became furious when he thought of I- all trouble cats had caused and he f fought with all of his might. Around and around they went fighting their L lian'.i'-t, biting right and left. But * the cat was too large for Pat and at I last succeeded in biting Pat on the leg, he then scratched him on the [ rose. Pat at last managed to get I away after very hard fighting. He I reached the camp and succeeded in r crawling over the trench before he I lost consciousness. Winn he awakened he found him- I self in a little white bed. His leg was wrapped up and his jaw had a 1/ piece of adhesive tape on it. After a few weeks Pat was given an honorable discharge snd returned j to his little mistress. She grabbed him up in her arms and nearly squeezed him to death. When she saw the bandages on his leg and nose the tears streamed down her face. Pat resented this but she could not know that he was a war hero. —O-H-S— SOCIETY The Alpha Omega Club was spon¬sored last Thursday by Mrs. Flor¬ence Newcomb. Besides the mem¬bers, Mrs. Berne, Miss Chesney, and Miss Romney were present. A de¬lightful and original program was ar¬ranged for the meeting by Miss Mar¬garet Garrison and Elva King. The program consisted in the singing of original songs, and the reading of original poems, stories and jokes by members of the club. We are in hopes that the Alpha Omega Club will be given permission to enter¬tain the student body by one of their unique programs in the near future. Two of Ogden High's most re¬nowned and most enjoyed social events are to take place within the next few weeks; namely, the Classi¬calia and the R. O. T. C. annual Ca¬det Hop. Those students who have attended a "Classicalia" will tell you what a treat is in store, but for the benefit of those who have not yet had that opportunity, let me enumerate a few of the pleasures that will be found at the White City, March 3rd. To be¬gin, there will be the crowning of the Classicalia "Queen". Until the even¬ing of the Classicalia, no one but the Queen's attendants will know her identity. There will be costumes of all types and colors; there will be the "peppiest" of music. The hall will be gorgeously decorated. Each booth will present a snappy appear¬ance. There will be confettii, gas balloons, horns, serpentines, every¬thing you want to eat, and every¬thing you want in the soft drink line. Let us all co-operate with the. fa¬culty this year and have the 1923 Classicalia, • the bigger, better and cleaner! Following the Classicalia the stu¬dent body is to be entertained at the annual Cadet Hop given by the R. O. T. C. at the Berthana. This party will be one of the most elaborate given during the year. The Gover¬nor and his Staff will be the honored guests of the evening. Invitations will also be issued to the cadet officers and sponsers of the East and West High Schools of Salt Lake. Captain Ryder has not yet appointed his com¬mittees but is likely he will be as¬sisted by the Officers and Sponsors. Many surprises are in store for those who attend the Hop. So be there! The next real important event for the girls to look forward to is the Officers' Banquet. As there are some twenty^ commissioned officers and only eight have sponsors, there will be some girls in demand. Then will be your chance, girls. —O-H-S— THE GRIN When you meet a: neighbor frownin' With his hat across his nose So's he can't see where he's goin,' N'er a-carin', I suppose— Don't go by without a "Howd'y!" And yer hand a-stickin' out, Work his elbow joint a little And he'll ha'f to face about. Make him tilt his ol' Fedory Till it roosts upon his crown, If he sees you grin a-shinin' He won't feel like lookin' down. Send him on his way rejoicin' That he's got a friend or two, And you'll, find that soon er later It's a boomerang to you. I have had the "Blues" an' argied Life was only lived in vain, With the germs of chronic worry Just a-feedin' on my brain, Then I'd meet some feller1 critter With a big contagious smile That would sluice my rancid system Like a dose of castor ile! So I pass it on to others— It's the only way to pay Fer a grin some feller gives ye As you plod along yer way. So I've kinda' got the habit And I'm never gonna stop Till at last when vou-all plant me, Then I'll leave the GRIN on top! —A. C. Phillips. —O-II-S— BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SAID "He Who Will Not Be Shown, Cannot Be Helped." Let Us Show You Our New Spring Footwear. FAMILY SHOE STORE 353-24th St., Ogden, Utah THE GIRLS' VIEWS OF THE ASSEMBLY How about the assembly last week? Wasn't it great? Did you ever see better looking boys than those who escorted their ladies into the cabaret r They were the pick of the school. Miss Stookey is fastidious in her choice of persons to appear on her programs, and it. took several days to decide what boys to have. Many of the girls who witnessed the as¬sembly, expressed the desire to be¬come acquainted with these boys. If they will see Miss Stookey, introduc¬tions will be promptly made. After seeing Fern Fuller and Flor¬ence Morris dance the "Sailors' Horn¬pipe" many of the boys here at school are wild to join the rtavy. We don't blame them a bit if they are taught dances like that on board a ship. The dance, "Scandal," is abso¬lutely true to life. Evelyn Jackson and Dorothy Carlson are not the only girls that broadcast all they know. Did you ever see a woman who could keep a secret? "Won't You Be My Valentine" was the title of the next dance. We all envy Helen Foster for being wooed by such a gallant suitor as Kathryn Cahill. Lucy King, Laura Walker and Lyla Malouf and Martha Wright showed us just how jolly and saucy "Quaker Maids" can be. "Powder Puff and Looking Glass" was danced by Eunice Davis and Zola McBride. Eunice's costume1 caught the feminine eye, (perhaps the masculine eye too, who knows). Let us hope that all "Rainy Days" turn out as happily applause. Everyone passed well- deserved comments on the "Mexican Dance" by Irene Lockwood and Vinette Lee. "A Little Bit of Heather" by Carmen Hall, was much appreciated. Mr. Velinga cannot come up to Carmen in ballet dancing although it is known that this is his greatest ambition. After "The Ru¬dolph Valentino Tango" by Fern Fuller and Florence Morris, many of the students are trying it. We wish them success. "Scene Dansant" by Bernice Harris and Madge Ashton won applause. These girls are said to be two of the best dancers in the school, and they certainly lived up to their reputation. Marindy Greenwell danced "The Love Letter" with much success. "Another Love Letter" by Phyllis Read was heralded with ap¬plause. We are wondering where she learned all of her fancy steps and whether she will teach them to us. It must not be forgotten that Emmert helped the girls out on this as¬sembly by leading the student body- in a few yells for Miss Stookey and the girls. They are worthy of it, don't you think? —O-H-S— O. H. S. SEES PICTURE FOR A NICKEL Many Students Took Ad¬vantage The students of the Ogden High were treated to a bargain picture at the Central Jr. High School last week, "The Tale of Two Cities." As most of the students were held by their English teachers to see this pic¬ture there was a record crowd in the auditorium. The students received considerable interest out of watching the late comers enter the hall's dense dark¬ness. Their cautious manner of en¬tering the auditorium was the feature of the afternoon. For those who came late to the show, there was no interest, but it was worth a nickel.
