Junior--There ain't no such animal. Senior-- Get wise to yourself, kid, tnat s the school play Junior—So that's what is hap¬pening on the 14th? Senior—Sure, but she's due at school any day now. Junior—See you later. Senior--Yah! Keep your eyes open. Junior—Why? Senior—You'd look crazy going around with them shut. Junior—I know a better reason; so you can see Mary III. All of which shows that juniors and seniors are both intelligent. but that seniors hold a little edge. Age before beauty, you know. —A. F. CANDY SALE Carpe Diem supplied the "neces¬saries" for the sweet tooth of the school by giving a candy sale on Wednesday noon. And it was the most delicious home-made candy, and sold all too cheap for 5 cents a bag. We hope they made a big profit. FORUM REPORT Forum held its weekly meeting Monday night. A challenge was sent to Congress for a debate. A debate was held in the forum camp. Charles Dunn and Jim Noblitt took Milt Rawson and Kent Bramwell to task on a local question and gave Forum some good ideas in debating. Our record is still good. Come up and hear us next Monday night. 'Ray! —T. B. PLACED IN OFFICE At council meeting Tuesday, Marjorie Kelley was officially made editor of the High School News, with Mrs. Irwin as advisor. Miss Kelley has been managing the News for a month now, but the appointment was never made pub¬lic until Tuesday. Miss Kelley has selected Dan Johnson as assistant editor. Other officers, second assistant editor (must be a jmiio.) and two report¬ers, will be chosen by tryouts. All juniors desiring the office of sec¬ond assistant editor, please write up some incident of school interest. Those trying out for reporters hand in a poem or a short sketch. These must be handed in to Mrs. Irwin before Wednesday of next week. FOR CHRISTMAS Ralph Petersen, instructor in music, announces that he will put on a cantata, "The Greatest Gift," by R. Bronner and H. W. Petrie, for Christmas program. This will give school a fine ending for the holidays. THE NEW STADIUM Ogden High students naturally are very much enthused over the prospects of a stadium. Of course, now that Salt Lake and Logan have stadiums, Ogden just must have one and we are very glad that the chamber of commerce and American legion are going after it. Can we put it over? Yea bo! yea bo! MR. RYAN VISITS Former Superintendent Orson Ryan of Logan, now representing the John C. Winston company, paid the high school a very pleas¬ant visit on Tuesday. Mr Ryan was ever a booster, a fine optimistic educator and Utah schools lost a fine leader when he left the profession. During Mr, Ryan's 2 5 yc::.s of service in Utah schools he ati::i.;.ed 24 national educational gatherings—at 13 of which he paid his own expenses, and paid out of his expenses at others. We wonder if any other educator in the state can equal that record for devotion to and progress in the profession! Dec. 5, 1927 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Only 19 days until the Christmas dance. Don't forget, boys, some¬one wants awfully bad to go with you! In Mrs. Newcomb's English classes the students have written their ideas on the kind of boy and girl they admire and like. The fol¬lowing is written by a boy and de¬serves hearty commendation: THAT'S MY GIRL! Not the girl of my dreams, but the one I admire, is the average American girl who leads a clean, active life, and is awake to the things around her. One who is not of the clinging vine type, but rather an independ¬ent sort of person. Not necessa¬rily a beauty contest winner, she is just good to look at, and can talk intelligently to you. That's my girl! One who hasn't an angelic dis¬position, or the opposite, either, one who has a sense of humor, a regard for others; one who means "No" when she says it—that's my girl! One who realizes that life isn't all fun, and who believes in the old adage: "Never the rose without the thorn," one who, acting in the present, thinks of the future— that's my girl! STUDENT BODY ROOM The student body room needs a new typewriter. All the work that is typed for the papers must be taken down to one of the classes to be typed. If we had one in the staff room the work could be done by one of the editors and time saved. Possibly a student has an old one that he does not need. All contributions will be gladly re¬ceived. D. J. BIRTHPLACES Well, folks, listen closely and I'll tell you a little gossip. You know there is a teacher in this school that's real popular. Now,- don't get ahead of the story. She was born in Provo some years ago. I'll bet she raised Cain and plenty of it—when she was a kid, too. Her first name is Doro¬thy—beautiful name. In fact we think the name just fits the teach¬er. She is a graduate of the U. of U. and was a student at Cornell. She must have been some student, too, by the way she can teach English and public speaking. There—if you didn't guess it before you have now. Everybody up on their feet and let's have a toast to Miss Irvine! —D. J. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I would like to know the proper way to ask a girl for a date. I usually have a terrible time, being rather bashful. I know, too, that the first impression counts a lot. B. B. Dear B. B.: Now, let's see. You want to know how to go about making a date? Well, I think it would be fitting and proper for the fellow to meet the girl in an appropriate place, not before a crowd, and po¬litely ask her if she has an en¬gagement for such-and-such a night. If she replies that she has not, the fellow might ask if she would go with him on said occa¬sion. The girl may then gracious¬ly reply that she would love to go, and thank him. If it is impossiblb for her to go, she may decline, stat¬ing truthfully the cause. Arrangements- for time of date may be made then. The boy thanks the girl, and turns conver¬sation to other matters. Now, B. B., do you think you could properly make a date? Nothing hard about it. SONG AND YELL BOOKS Al! students who desire the song veil books that the Girls' asso¬ciation inputting out, Will please it known to their advisors. If f Srtiin number of students want ; them the price may be reduced so S? busy and hand in to your ad¬visor the number you want. ASSEMBLY The regular weekly assembly was and Bernard Dalebout. A short by City Commissioner-elect Fred Williams was well received by the stu cSSs while the piano solos by Mr. Little of the White City orchestra were heartily applauded. The assembly was then adjourned. STELLAE REPORT Stellae held its meeting last Thursday at Fisher's mansion. Among the important things aceompHshed, a new secretary, Stella Chrisman, was elected. It was decided to challenge H. C. to a basketball game. A parliamentary was appointed, Tom Broadbent, and several committees turned in some interesting reports. "Bugs" Woods gave an interest¬ing and enlightening 30-minute talk, "Common Stars and Constel¬lations." You should hear these talks we're having every meeting. Next time Dr. Greenwell is going to talk on "Philosophy and the Stars." Ought to be interesting, n'est pas? After the business meeting we digested something else. The food committee had planned good old: Italian spaghetti in a new way. This, with dinner rolls, "hit the spot," as it were. Well, that's enough for this time. —T. B. MILITARY DEPARTMENT Captain Dockler reports the fol¬lowing averages of the organiza¬tions composing the reserve offi¬cers' training corps, Ogden Senior High school, for the month of No¬vember: Band, 940 per cent; company A, 930 per cent; company B, 9JJ4 per cent; company C, 975 per cent;1 company D, 966 per cent; company E, 999 per cent; company F, 994 per cent. Company E, South Washington, having the largest average will carry the guidon for the month of December, 1927. Dec. 6, 1927 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Only 18 more days until the senior Christmas dance. Don't forge that there are no stags adnfitted so get your dates right away. . TEN QUESTIONS Do you like love scenes? Do you like fights? Do you like romance? Do you like humor? Do you like modernism? Do you like eighteenth century romance? Do you like good acting? Do you like enjoyable things? Do you like the modern girl? Do you like the old fashioned girl? If you like one or any of these you should see "Mary the III" coming to the Orpheum right away. Sei us later for details. —T. B. THE BOY This is of very much interest tc the boys. It was written by an au. thority on all that a boy should be. The boy whose friendship I enjoy most is one who is frank, boyish and modest. A good pal, one to be trusted with secrets. A fellow who is a good sport under any circumstances wins my admiration. One who is good company, entertaining and polite, a boy who is full of fun, yet not foolish; who may b serious at the proper time, an swers my requirements,. A bo; who is not so ultra-modern bu that he might enjoy an evening a home with the folks; who can car ry on an intelligent conversatior is sure to be liked. T like a fellow who will accept you on the pal basis, much like another boy, and not expect pay for every courtesy paid you. In other words, I like a fellow I might truthfully call "Friend." PHOTOGRAPHS Are you all having your pictures taken? Several have gone down to their photographers, and their pictures are almost finished. They can give them for Christmas pres¬ents now, or if they don't want to do that, they at least have the satisfaction of knowing that their pictures have not been rushed through. In other words, "Go early and avoid the rush." LAST CHANCE Wednesday is the latest that you can hand in your poems or sketch¬es for the try-outs for the positions of reporters and second assistant editors on the High School News. So you "would-be aspirants" be sure and get them in to Mrs. Irwin by Wednesday. The students chosen will be announced Friday. —M. K. 1898 PIN An 1898 high school pin was found on the corner of Washing¬ton avenue and Twenty-fifth street some time ago and may be ob¬tained by calling on the finder, Mrs. Goshen. TEACHER OUT Leon G. Willie was out of school Monday on account of the death and burial of his mother. Teachers and pupils express their sincere sympathy in this, "life's greatest loss." SWIMMING TEAM All girls interested in a swim¬ming team please report to Mary Ethel Brittain, Carmen Garner or Donna Manning. —M. K. CARPE DIEM Hurrah! Hurrah! For Carpe Diem's new members. They were in¬itiated Saturday night at the home of the president, K. T. Greenwell, and they are pretty fair goats, con¬sidering their status. However, they were chastised severely, and finally subdued and humbled, the process showing up their good sportsmanship. We give our con¬gratulations to Mary Hill, Ted Lashus and Dorothy Ellery. Mr. Smith's and Mrs. Newcomb's heads are just full of ideas and there are more surprises coming all the time. Carpe Diem is lucky to have these advisers. The initiation was more success¬ful and more beautifully impres¬sive than ever before, and I as¬sure you that no Carpe Diem girl ever forgets her initiation, nor her C. D. sisters. Ruth Goss, reporter. H. C. REPORT Promptly at 3:30 p. m. Thurs¬day in Mr. Wangsgard's room, the members of H. C. met. President Ralph Roberts called the meeting to order, and the minutes were read and approved. Many and varied were the subjects diseussed, from the most serious club business to ' future social activities. It was de- i cided that initiation of all new members will be at our next party. In Friday's assembly, Stellae challenged H. C. to a basketball game. H. C. accepted the chal¬lenge and for the benefit of those who do not already know, we in¬tend to win. —D. W., reporter. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: How does one get a date with a girl whom he likes but does not know? —H. B. Dear H. B.: You say you want a date with a girl you do not know? Well, does anyone you know, know her? If so, ask him to introduce you to her. Simple enough, isn't it? If none of your friends knows her, you might introduce yourself. This is all right if it is done politely, for at school this is considered good form for you may meet her, tell her : your name, that you have wanted ' to meet her for some time but have i never had the opportunity. It would not be nice to ask for a date then, but be friendly and sociable. When you know her better, you will ' feel that you can. I hope you succeed in meeting this girl, H. B. AUNT JANE. SWIMMING AGAIN "Arms in position, inhale, dive in!" Zeta Phi Xi did on Saturday night, with a good representation of its membership. The first part of their hour in the pool was devoted to diving, then the attention become center¬ed on relay racing. The first, a fast crawl, was won by Carmen Garner, Fern Parry and Ida Pet¬erson. In order to be fair to thft other team, they swam again, but the winners held onto their lau¬rels and splashed to victory. Thv next event was a slow crawl with two members on each team. Thli time Carmen Garner and Fern Parry poked to victory. Fishing, however, was the most popular pastime, as it resulted in light, very light refreshment. Each girl was able to capture at least six pine nuts and some even got 10! Oh, well, some people do get all the luck in this world. Kathryn Blake, reporter. BLANDING SLOAN It may be of interest to those who have attended and will attend the exhibition of etchings by Blanding Sloan, to know that at a recent showing in San Francisco at the Legion of Honor hall, "Placid¬ity," an aquatint and soft ground" etching, was purchased by Albert Beuder and presented to the Legion for its permanent collection. "Pla¬cidity" gives us a great canyon of darkness across which slender tree trunks reach to distant hills and bright clouds. Much of this etch¬ing's attraction is due to the man¬ner of wiping the plate. Albert M. Beuder, who purchased "Placid¬ity," is a well known art patron Among other patrons of the Sloan exhibit were Mrs. Alfred I. Esberg Mrs. John Oscar Gautner, George D. Pratt of New York, J. S. Gould, R. H. McCord of Omaha and H. L. Livingstone. By Mrs. Frederick G. Ruthrauft WHAT TEACHERS SAY Have respect for your mother tongue. Speak clearly and simply the thoughts of your mind. I feel that the teaching of Eng¬lish entails very great responsibil¬ity. It must be presented well enough to become a part of every other subject, and well enough to be reflected in every written or spoken thought of the boy or girl This means work for both teacher I and pupil, not dull work that draygl but work that is vital and filled p with joy and understanding. —Lucille Chambers. TEACHING One of the biggest jobs In the world, not understood fully, so unappreciated in some quarters, often somewhat discouraged. —M. CORLESS. IMPORTANT PLACE America leads the world in d4 ilization, through its educational) system. Education is disseminata mainly by the teacher. TheteuW er, therefore, holds the most I portant place among the prow sions of our nation. —WM. ABPLANALP. JOY IN WORK A great man said, "We rejirt our pupils as so many swiraii who perceive with astonish Ml that they are lighter than the m ment which threatened to snllq them and that they are buojtflK and sustained by it.' Teaching, to me, is more IS more a process of guiding and A recting; the days I work allH time with my pupils, the « are the results and the moreB pily do the day's tasks end. —EMMA CHESNEY AS A FRIEND A teacher must be a friend-- a friend who out of the richntafl his experience and sympathy iff] all inspires confidence and JH respect. —FLORENCE H. NEWCOMB FOR INSPIRATION I realize fully the responaAiH of my position, and I endeavoljM day to do my best to insplrtjstudents, to give them the AM for right living and higher en tion. —MARGARET HUBBARD
