Show Dec. 2nd OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Only 21 days until the glorious Christmas dance! As there are no stags admitted, you boys had bet¬ter get dates. ART EXHIBIT Those who saw the exhibit from the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts realize what good ex¬hibits the Girls' association spon¬sors. At present there is an exhibition of etchings by Blanding Sloan in the art room of the Ogden High school. Thefee etchings are very original and many are startlingly- beautiful. There are also some beautiful block prints by the same artist. Everyone who is interest¬ed in seeing these prints is wel¬come any time between 10 o'clock and 5 o'clock.—Rosemary Barber. ANOTHER ART EXHIBIT Mr. and Mrs. Ruthrauff have brought from California for Ogden Art society 15 very beautiful and original paintings in oil, by vari¬ous artists. These have been on exhibit at the Hotel Bigelow, but now Ogden High school is to be honored with their presence in Mr. Stewart's room. APPLIED ART TOO In Miss Peterson's fourth period domestic science class, the girls have taken up a very interesting project under the "home problem course." It is applied art and they certainly are turning out some very clever little things. Candle* holders, all kinds of wax and enamel work, tie and dye articles, and favors of all kinds, are just a few of the clever little items they are making. It is rumored around : that they are to hold a bazaar and 1 the students and teachers and others who are interested may buy to their hearts' content. All students trying out for re¬porters and second assistant editor of the High School News, don't neglect to hand your work in early. The limit is next Wednesday.—M. K. You didn't know we had real, honest-to-goodness actors with temperament and everything in Ogden High school, did you? Well, we have, and if you don't believe it, just wait 'till the 14th of De¬cember and you'll see for your¬selves. The mother and father get so worked up in the fight scenes, that Blaine is a regular bear the rest of the day, and Dorothy nearly has nervous prostration. They even say their lines in their sleep. If I you happen to be talking to one of I the cast and she or he suddenly breaks out with, "Step on 'er, Lynn, she's only going sixty," or "Honest, Mary, no man ever loved a girl the way I love you," you don't need to worry about their saneness, it's just the play. Only 12 more days till the school play, "Mary III," takes place at the Orpheum. Don't miss it!— Ruth Goss. CONGRESS Congress convened at 7:2 0 Mon¬day night as usual. The meeting was called to order by Miss Gene Kimball,, president. The minutes were read and approved. It was discovered that two more girls were eligible to try for the waiting list. The senators learned all about a Bibliography at this meeting. What it was for. How many know? What it was composed of and how to construct it. Aid of this kind ig very valuable in debate work. Then, suddenly, there came a tapping at the vestibule of the room in which the sedate gather¬ing convened. The door was open¬ed. All necks were stretched to see who the visitor was. The presi¬dent of Forum was standing there. He conveyed a message or rather a challenge. Forum challenged Congress to a debate. The date and subject will be determined later. Watch out! Margaret Schmalz, Reporter. COUNCIL REPORT Council was called to order by l President Hales at 3:30 p. m. on ! November 29, 1927. Roll was called and the minutes were read and approved.

Beware; If you don't treat your superiors with all due respect, you will be chastised severely. Initiation time is draw¬ing near, so again I say, "beware!" CARPE DIEM Carpe Diem came out resplend¬ent in their brightly colored uni¬forms Wednesday and besides knocking the students all over with their adorable uniforms, they proceeded to take all the students' money. Of course it was a perfect¬ly legal affair—they conducted a candy sale. Made money, too. Now they are busy with initiations, which are going to be held Satur¬day night at K. T. Greenwell's. As a closing thought Carpe Diem wishes to compliment the "Joie Francaise" on their perfectly "Frenchy uniforms. Certainly cute and original.—Ruth Goss. AUNT JANE'S CORNER . Dear Aunt Jane: I wonder if it would be proper to go to the Christmas dance stag.—D. K. Dear D. K.:—I am sorry, but no stags will be allowed at the Christmas dance. Don't you think our school dances should be an education, that we should- learn how to do things properly? Yes, I indeed, then we must learn by con¬ducting them In a correct way. For our very nicest dance of the year, don't you think you can get a date, D- K.?—Aunt Jane. FORUM REPORT Upheld! Yes, Forum upheld its record for attendance. All were present last meeting too. Last Monday Forum held its meeting with all the enthusiasm necessary. You know everything that is brought up in Forum is strictly business, so we do what other clubs can't, stick to our business! This combination, en¬thusiasm and business, and the Forum way of doing things is making a club out of Forum, that has no peer. Forum has created plans to further debating among the junior highs. This will be a valuble en¬terprise for energetic debaters. Wait until you hear the results! Our debate of last meeting was a snappy one on the question, Resolved: That, the presidents of clubs, athletic manager, manager of the quarterly and year book, should not have a vote in council, Charles Dunn and Jim Noblett upheld the affirmative, while Milt Rawson and Kent Bramwell upheld the negative. The affirmative won. Each meeting Forum has a good question to debate 6n. We are right up to the minute and pick the best questions available. This system of debating all sorts of questions is giving Forum's de¬baters a world of experience. You've heard a lot about Forum and what's more you're going to hear more. Keep an eye on us.— Willie Larsen, Reporter. GIRLS ASSEMBLY If the student body were giving awards for service, the Girls', association would have another gold star on its record. An assembly worth attending was held yesterday morning. The outstanding number on the pro- * gram was a talk on "Friendship In School," by Mrs. Newcomb. The talk left an impression on every girl because of its sincerity. Mrs. Newcomb emphasized the fact that I a girl should make many friends f and not only make others her c friends but be a friend herself. Our speaker's definition of a friend was: "One who entertains for c another such sentiments of esteem and affection that he seeks his society and welfare." Mrs. Newcomb said that, we should not only have girl friMds but boy friends too. She gave some splendid ideals for us to look up to and read some views of students in her English classes to us en "Boy Friends and Girl Friends." Other numbers on the program were: A vocal solo by Margaret Stewart, and a reading by Maren Stevens—Mary Ethel Brittan.

Dec. 1st OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Only 22 days until the Christmas dance. Remember, boys, the early bird gets the girl. Ask her to¬morrow. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I am a senior in school and feel that every student should help by attending parties given for him. I would like to go to the school dances; I like very much to dance, and there are lots of girls I would like to take. But as I do not work, and hate to ask the folks for mon¬ey, I never feel that I can go. You know the girls expect so much, a dinner after and to be taken in an automobile. Why do they, when they know school fellows aren't millionaires? POOR PAUL. Dear Poor Paul: You have the wrong understand¬ing altogether. You and many others, I fear. Paul, the girls don't expect an elaborate treat after the dance. Any birl will use her head about ordering. Of course they know you aren't millionaires. Sel¬dom will find a prude who only thinks of herself, and will order anything on the menu merely to be sophisticated. You can tell that kind of a girl at a glance. So now won't you try a girl for yourself and find that she will have a per¬fectly wonderful evening without the automobile and the dinner? AUNT JANE Don't forget to ask Aunt Jane anything that puzzles you. She will take all the pains in the world with you and your troubles. Just drop them in the box by the bulle¬tin board. ITEMS OF INTEREST The Art club is planning a big theatre party for a week from Fri¬day. Although this club is a new one, and rather shy in its "youngness," it shows much promise of being a worth-while one. Zeta Phi Zi is also planning a party. It's going to be a Christmas one and will be held two weeks be¬fore Christmas. Of course, this will be successful and everyone will have a good time, for the par¬ties that the Zetas throw are al¬ways top notch. Carpe Diem, always on the alert for a chance to benefit the school, have spoken for the opportunity I to sell polar pies at the first bas¬ketball game. Bu]: they had . bet¬ter see certain boys around school and collect their quarters or there will be no basketball games. Well, the "proxies" in assemblies have turned in their reports as to who, on account of being nausrhty in assembly, must forfeit their fourth periods in the assembly hall and who must report to the library for study. Of course, it was the ones who least expected it. It is quite probable that the Og¬den high school will get a lovely Christmas present. Superintendent Hopkins has appointed the follow¬ing committee to look at grand pi¬anos: Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Vera Frey Beason and Mr. Patterson, and we all hope that they get so fond of one that they cou'dn't bear to see it anywhere but in the as¬sembly room at high. IN THE HALL The following dialog was heard between a senior and a junior: Senior—Hey, seen Mary? Junior—Mary who? Senior—Mean to tell me you don't know Mary? Junior—Don't kid me; you mean Mary Christmas. Senior—No. Mary III. |
