Jan. 5, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 INSIDE DOPE Practically all large newspapers huge salaries to reporters who (are successful in getting inside stuff on the various happenings and per¬sonalities of the day. Our reporters are on the outlook for "dope" and we intend to publish one glimpse each day. That is, if it parses the board of censors. Today's inside dope was inspired by the rumor that Dan Johnson was seen running down town last night after school. There was a flush of anxiety on his face which alarmed many students who saw him and they followed his hurrying figure with increasing agitation. The truth of the matter is, how¬ever, he was late for his marcel. PICTURES AT ONCE Work on the Classicum annual has definitely begun and, in order to complete and work out the book in a careful way, the co-operation of all students is required. It was announced before the holidays that the pictures absolutely muist be completed and the cuts handed in as soon as possible after the first I of the year. Very few of the stu¬dents have complied with this gentle hint, so now we are divulg¬ing for your benefit the rumor that has been going around. It is said that if the pictures are not taken at once, a dollar will be added to the cost of the pictures per dozen, so get down there and have them taken. Save time, money and our patience. When you go to have them taken they will ask you about the cuts. You will need one for the senior group (if you are a senior) and for the junior group if you want to, it isn't neces¬sary, but greatly desired. Then you will need one cut for any club, staff, council or any other group you I happen to be in. They furnish one cut free, all others are 50 cents. Please have them taken at once and get them over with. All students read the above once more. Absolutely important! NEW MEMBERS Stellae has elected new members to its choice group. They are Helen Hodge, Virginia Morton and Oliver Ames. The club is holding many inter¬esting meetings, both social and highly intellectual. Who could aim higher than the stars? We wish to congratulate these lucky kids for their having crashed the gates of so famed a group. All merchants and store owners of Ogden are warned not to give any goods to students unless they have a requisition signed by Mr. Merrill. Anyone doing this will do it at their own risk. HIGH PRAISE High school students were de¬lighted on Sunday by the article in The Standard-Examiner which shows that the high schol is being very favorably advertised through¬out the east by the most excellent essay on "Fire Prevention," writ¬ten by Miss Lois White. Such things as this please not only the students and teachers at school but every citizen of Ogden. SHORT STORY CONTEST All students interested in the writing of short stories should by all means try out for the prize which the Gamma Kappa society is offering for the best story hand¬ed in of not less than 250 words. These stories are to be handed in by January 27, to either Mrs. Chambers or Mr. Hyde. Let's all try out! MORE CLUB NEWS Due to the fact that we are all interested in the doings of the va-rious clubs, we hereby suggest that more reports of club activities be handed in for publication. Lucille McFarlane has charge of club re¬ports; see her and make definite arrangements for her to collect the write-ups. It would be nice if each 1 club had a special date for the publishing of their reports. If each- reporter will please see Lucille about these things. Thanks. --M.K. MILITARY DEPARTMENT Capt. C. J. Dockler reports that the following are the averages of the organizations composing the reserve officers' training corps, Og¬den Senior High school, for the month of December, 1927: Staff, 960; band, 960; .company A, 920; company B, 977; "company C, 950; company D, no roster in; company E, 9 99; company F, 976. Company E, South Washington, having the highest average for the month, will carry the guidon for January, 1928. Dear Aunt Jane: If I don't get a date to the Girls' dance, is it proper for me to go stag? Would they let me in? I'd like to go, but I don't think I'll get a date, so my boy friend and I would like to stag it. Answer right away.—Harold. Dear Harold: I think you would be terribly foolish to go stag to the Girls' Ac¬colade, as you will have no one to dance with. All the girls will be with their partners, and trade dances, so you will be rather left out. I shouldn't think you'd want to advertise the fact that you didn't get a date, any way. I, personally, have never heard of stags at a Girls' Accolade, and if you did try to get in, I think you would have a hard time. You have lots of time; two weeks in fact, that you can treat a girl nice in, and consequent¬ly she may ask you for a date. So, don't get downhearted. I'm glad you want to go, it is certainly going to be a clever dance.—Aunt Jane. TICKETS READY The Girls' Accolade will be given on January 20, in the Berthana. Tickets are now out for distribu¬tion, so get your ticket and your date at once. Jan. 6, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 THE GIRLS' ACCOLADE The girls' Accolade is heralded as being the most entertaining of all the school dances. The girls, drop¬ping for an evening their role of the "sought after" members of society, assume a gay, reckless, domineering attitude that seems to amuse the boys immensey, but the boys will have to admit from past experiences that the girls certainly "do it up brown," putting it in slanguage. It is only fair, though, that the girls should make rather a splurge the night of January 20, for they only do it once a year. Real¬izing this the girls plan good times before and after the Accolade. The Accolade this year is going to be exceptionally clever. The ideas carried out for decorations and refreshments are really unique and beautiful. Almost everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised. So, boys, if you don't get a date to this dance, consider yourselves woefully mistreated for you will have missed the best dance of them all. M. K. QUOTES POETRY Another clever little hint dropped by the Rev. L. P. Fagen in his talk in assembly last Friday: "Isn't it strange that princes and kings And clowns who caper in sawdust rings, Are builders of eternity? "To each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, a book of rules; And each must make 'ere life is flown A stumbling block or a stepping stone." —Cale Young Rice. INSIDE DOPE Ah! We have found out a hot one! Our editor, Marge Kelley, has developed (due to the extra work required for the News, which makes her spend half of the night worKing on them) a slight twitch¬ing of the left eye which certainly got her in dutch the other day. Coming out of the doctor's office after being informed that the twitching was due to nervousness, she started walking down Wash¬ington avenue, the twitching of her left orb in fine working condition. She noticed that several of the men were eyeing her curiously, rather doubtfully, but she merely shrugged her shoulders and passed on. After walking for half a block a slight noise caused her to turn around and you can imagine her embarrassment when she beheld a long train of men of assorted shapes and sizes, following confi¬dently behind her. They smiled as she stared at them, her left eye winking furiously. The winks caused them to hurry their pace a little, but Marge, in dismay and an¬ger, began to run, and as she neared Culley's she dashed in, leaving the men staring vacantly after her. Needless to say, Marge wears her glasses when she promenades along Washington avenue. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Since you have chosen your staff, do you want poems and articles from other people in school? I and my friends have thought of some clever things we would like in the News, but didn't know fox- sure whether you wanted them or not. Do you? ANOTHER GREEN JUNIOR. Well, Junior we certainly want and desire anything that you think would be clever for the News. As you should know, the O. H. S. News is your department, and is to be run to suit your tastes (within limits, of course), so anything that you hand in we will publish if it meets the requirements. Please, you and your friends hand in things —we really need them. We want more of the students represented in the News, but if you don't hand them in we haven't the energy or desire to go around to each student soliciting. Just drop your contri¬bution in the box by the bulletin board. If you or anyone else don't like anything published, or if you do, we would certainly like letters of criticism or praise, saying so. We will publish them if they are good, and inclined to be helpful. AUNT JANE. JACK, THE EFFICIENT Jack Armstrong, engineer plumber, carpenter, cabinet maker, of the high school and of Ogden city schools has now added a new art to his repertoire. He is now a "master interior decorator" as may be evidenced by a visit to the stu¬dent body room which he has re¬cently finished under the direction of Mr. Stewart. If any employe of the Ogden board of education earns his salary we'll say it's Jack Armstrong. FRUIT APPRECIATED A high school student received a letter this week from an ex-soldier in a government hospital from which the following is taken: "No doubt you will be surprised to receive this letter, but I think it my duty to write and thank any¬one that is as thoughtful as you and your school have been in send¬ing the wonderful jelly that adorn¬ed our table this morning. Surely your efforts were not in vain as the fruit was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. "Sincerely yours, "ARTHUR STINE. "U. S. Hospital, Tucson, Ariz." VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE The following students have been selected to represent Ogden high at the vocational conference at Bozeman, Mont., January 30 to Feb¬ruary 3: Arthur Hales, Harold Logan, Earl Leatham, Harold Holmes, Charles Michaels and Robert Schatz. CONGRESS Monday night two more senators were admitted to the list of con¬gress. They are Donna Manning and Virginia Rose. It's hard to choose our members because there are so many who would make the kind of members congress desires. But cheer up, two more will be admitted before our membership isti complete. The debate was on thea question: "Resolved, that the in- i st.alment 'plan of buying be condemned." The affirmative was upheld by Virginia Nicholas and Dorothy Foulger and the negative by : Margaret Schmalz and Vella Fowler. The decision was tied. We're down to business now. The new year is here and the senators are going to try to make it a ban¬ner year. At the opening of last year congress was only a dream. Now it is a club ready and able to compete with any of the other or¬ganizations. If this year can see as great an advancement in the senators' ideals as the past seven months have congress will have carried out its purpose. MARGARET SCHMALZ, Reporter. GAMMA KAPPA The heavens poured down a mass of tiny dots which hurriedly formed f themselves into the shape of a huge question mark. The question was whether or not to make an attempt at becoming a chapter of the na¬tional society of Gamma Kappa and the mark stood for indecision. This was the state of affairs at the regu¬lar meeting of Gamma Kappa, Thursday. The meeting was, as usual, well attended and very in¬teresting. The program was in charge of Lester Grange, consist¬ing of a violin solo by Harman Farr, and a thundering and magnificent piano solo by Sue Evans. Arrange¬ments were made for the meeting on the twelfth and then the club adjourned. Gamma Kappa is con¬templating a successful year and wishes everyone else the same. LOU CEIL McFARLANE, Club Reporter. Jan. 10, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Girls, what's the matter? Haven't you any courage or can't you make a decision? We boys are only hu¬man, you know, and any human would surely want to go to the girls' dance. Perhaps you are afraid we will refuse your offer. Well, rest easy on that point—just i give us a chance. I know for a fact that the majority of the boys have not a date yet. I know that all of them would do anything from a wink to a murder to go. So, girls, bait your shiniest hook and toss it into the tide. You are sure to catch some poor fish. —G. W. INSIDE DOPE Great excitement reigned in school Monday. It began with an unusual-sense of dizziness which prevailed in the office. In the third period, Mrs. Newcomb almost fainted and in the fifth Mr. Widdison experienced the same sen¬sation. It may have been due to the "rotten egg" gas which the chemistry classes are making, but we are inclined to think that it! was because of the; very singular fact that Jim Doon remained in school for the whole day. (What are they, Jim, Luckies?) TODAY Time is fleeting, Moments with us never stay; To us is given just today. 'Tis ours to fill with deeds so true, Though the w*ay be hard and new. But let us still keep on smiling; Each cloud has its silver lining. Carry on!. Until some victory we've won, Before each glorious day is done. —Virginia Evans. AUNT JANE'S CORNER I feel that I should enlighten some of you who are laboring un¬der the illusion that the only ques¬tion to be asked are those pertain¬ing to parties or dances. Aunt Jane's Corner ia conducted so that most any questions that are asked will be answered to the best of our ability. Anything that you have the least doubt about, or anything that you would like to know, please ask Aunt Jane. If you want to know "Who's Who" in school or elsewhere, or "who" is going out with "who"; if you want to know the latest books, plays, music; if you want to tind out ancient his¬tory (personal or general); if you want information on anything you are in the darx about—just ask Aunt Jane! Letters of criticism and prajse are also greatly desired. —M.K. Dear Aunt Jane: As I have never gone out with a young man, and have secured one for the Accolade, I am quite wor¬ried as to how I shall treat him during the evening. I have been told that when a young man takes a girl out he expects to "love her up a bit" and to kiss her good night; otherwise he will not call again. Is this true—and what shall I do? Worringly your, J. A. G. Dear J. A. G.: Have you really a "jag" on or are you serious? I never heard of a girl in this "living age" who never had a beau! Again, of course that gag about "loving them up" and kissing them good night is all bunk. No decent girl allows anything of that sort the first night, or, for that matter, for many, many nights. That sim¬ply doesn't happen in the best so¬ciety. If you are serious I know all I need to say to you is to treat him as a gentleman and he'll be a gentleman. Be lively, interesting, charming if you can; above all, don't be timid or stupid. Go to have a good time and have it. AUNT JANE. FORUM REPORT After having met during the holi¬days Forum came back last Mon¬day with a meeting supreme. A debate was held on the queistion: "Resolved, That a separate depart¬ment of aviation be established in the United Sttes." John Carver and Warren Wattis upheld the affir¬mative and had a very slight edge over Bill Reeder and Dee Jackson, who upheld the negative. A very good debate, boys, keep it up! Next Monday Forum debates Congress. If you want to hear a good debate, with lots of action, be there! After our regular meeting Forum held a special meeting. We con¬gratulate Clark Nye on entering into Forum's lists. —WILLIE LARSEN, Reporter. DENVER VISITOR Dr. M. E. Schuck of Denver, western manager of Fisk's Teach¬er agency, visited all class rooms at the high school on Wednesday. He expressed himself as being pleased with the school atmosphere and the way all students seemed to be working. ATTEND STOCK SHOW The science classes attended the stock show on Tuesday during regural class periods to note illustra¬tions of the working of breeding principles in the animal kingdom. The classes were chaperoned and instructed by Messrs. Willie, Oberhansley and Smith, the science teachers. SECOND SEMESTER The second semester opens on Monday, January 23. Teachers are now asking pupils to make known their wishes regarding subjects which they wish to take next se¬mester. The following new classes will be organized: Sociology, economics, law, physiology, botany, English. These are largely to accommodate the half-year stu-dents—the regular students contin¬uing their subjects throughout the year. ATTENDANCE NORMAL School attendance, considerably shattered during the holidays by sickness, students working, etc., has become about normal again. Teachers are driving hard these clays to complete the work of the semester.
