Shorthand Among the Romans, Cassin Clark; How Cicero's Works Were Preserved, Marion Whitton; Libraries of the Ancient Romans, Mary Hill; The Writing and Send¬ing of Letters, John Carver. The Inter Nos was organized on December 13, 1927, as a class club by the Cicero students under the able direction of its advisor, Miss Chesney. The following officers were elected: Imperator, Warren Wattis; scriba, Sue Evans; censor, Jimmie Noblitt; quasstor, Mary Hill; regina festifictatis, Virginia Morton. The program committee, consist¬ing of Georgia Hopkins, Virginia Evans and George Fowles, has proved itself very efficient. —Sue Evans, Scriba. CARPE DIEM REPORT The spirit of the usual Carpe Diem meeting, last Wednesday, was fired with enthusiasm. The reason for the excess energy was that the plans were progressing for a rare treat for the boys. These plans went into effect on the evening of January 20, and developed into a very successful banquet in the Hotel Bigelow. This makes one more wonderful party added to Carpe Diem's list and it was one of the prettiest of the year. A beautiful basket of red roses (Carpe Diem's flower) graced the center of the table, with a tapering red candle on each side. A red rose boutonnier was placed at each guest's plate, and they were clever¬ly toasted by Ted Lashus. Other toasts were given by Gene Kimball to Mrs. Newcomb; Ruth Goss to Mr. Smith, and Dorothy Foulger to Kate Greenwell, Carpe Diem's pres¬ident. We only hope the boys enjoyed a good time as much as we enjoyed showing them a good time. —Ruth Goss, Reporter. PHI LAMBA TAU Phi Lamba Tau was called to order in room 213, at 3:15 o'clock January 18, by "Ginger," the vice president of the club. All standing committee reports were called for. Among them, the report of the refreshment committee for the club's forthcoming party was cordially re¬ceived. (Of course, who wouldnM: receive a refreshment report?) Suggestions were made by "Char¬ley" and "Rufus" to the effect that the party could be made more fun by having it a—Oh! I almost told! But then you'll read about it later in the News, so why tell you now? It might make you more jealous of our club, and that wouldn't do. The next thing discussed was the fact that some thought just two girls weren't enough to be "rushed" at the party, but the motion to add to the list was voted down. —Charlene Bell, Reporter. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I am going to take the girl of my dreams to the cadet hop and would like to know how I should secure dances for her, enough so she will have a good time. Yours truly, LONELY. Dear Lonely: That's the only girl to take to the cadet hop or anywhere else. I can see you are going to have a wonderful time if you just be your natural self, and don't be silly or sentimental as most of us are when around the "objects of our dreams," as you say. Trade dances with those who you both like to dance with, don't get partners for her that are too short for her or too tall. Send her some pretty flow¬ers, the color of her dress, or a harmonizing color, and I'll tell you another secret that will clinch matters, leave all the waltzes for yourself. The waltzes are the fourth and twelfth. Thanks. —Aunt Jane. THE ACCOLADE The excitement is all over, plus the shouting. That means that the annual Accolade has come and gone! Needless to say, "it was the best ever," and everybody had "a wonderful time." The grand march, directed by Mrs. Helen Case, unfolded itself in a gay display of bright party frocks, set off by meltless waste of sparkling snow. We feel that there is much credit and appreciation due to President Carmen Garner and Miss Iris Smith, general chairman, and to their able committees, and we con¬gratulate them upon the success of the dance. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the patrons and patron¬esses, who were in attendance, for their interest. —Mary Ethel Brittain, Reporter. Jan. 25, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 THE WORK ATTITUDE We are not sent into this world to do anything into which we can not put our hearts. We have cer¬tain work to do for our bread and that is to be done strenuously; oth¬er work to do for our delight and that is to be done heartily; neither is to be done by halves or shifts, but with a will; and what is not worth this effort is not to be done at all. ON TO BOZEMAN On Sunday next, Art Hales, Rob¬ert Schatz and Charles Michaels will leave for Bozeman, Mont., to attend the district vocational con¬ference, sponsored by Montana State Agricultural college. Promi¬nent speakers from all parts of the United States will participate in the conference. The boys repre¬sent the Ogden High school at the convention. POPULAR SUBJECTS Sociology, economics, law and music are proving to be very popu¬lar subjects at the high school. This is well, because these sub¬jects deal with problems and rec¬reations of life that all must meet. CONGRESS PRAISED Why do so many people admire Congress? Just for this reason: it's a wonderful club. It's so well organized and stands for such high ideals. It strives to promote high¬er education and to be a benefit to Ogden High. A club like Congress is indeed essential to our school. It will bring up scholastic honor and help Ogden gain a reputation as a highly intellectual school. Congress keeps abreast with the times by studying current events and debating sisues of interest. It teaches good fellowship and sports¬manship; two things essential to happiness and congenial friend¬ship. In short, it gives the same opportunities to the wide-awake, intelligent girls that Forum has given and will always give to the boys. Ogden High school is proud of Congress; it is such a new club, but has made such wonderful progress during the last year of its exist¬ence. We wish Congress the best of luck for the year and all the years to come. R. C. Z. CONGRESS WINS Again the "female debating club" Congress talked themselves into the favor of the judge and won the debate Monday night. Their showing was excellent. At¬torney Ira A. Huggins, the judge, had a hard time, though, making the decision. Forum's debaters, Tom Broadbent and S. K. Hopkins, upheld their side of the question with measures that were hard to down. Their main speeches were excellent, and their rebuttals were commended by the judge. Congress' debaters, Vella Fowler and Margaret Schmalz, gave their speeches in a decidedly emphatic and sincere manner. On the whole, the debate was about equal as far as material, manner of delivery, etc., was con¬cerned—but, as the judge says, "You can't down a woman in talk¬ing." FORUM REPORT Forum congratulates Congress on the debate Monday night. Since We couldn't win we were glad to see the girls do it. However, we have no tears to shed (in answer to D. Wangsgard) and are not ashamed to say that we lost. We believe that there is victory in de¬feat when each puts up the best fight he can, even though he loses. Well enough said about that. Forum met in a regular business meeting after the debate and elect¬ed the following officers to serve during the coming semester: Presi¬dent, Lee Cain; vice president, Blain Morse; secretary, Ralph Roberts; reporter, Tom Broadbent. Now that we are free for future activities once more, we are turn¬ing our attention to the junior Con¬gress, our triangular debates, our annual West High debate, and our annual Forum banquet. These are already under way, and should be very successful from the point of accomplishment. See next chap¬ter next week. TOM BROADBENT, Reporter.

STUDENTS Students: Has it ever occurred to you that: In the making of a good school every one has a very important part? A hundred little things which seem to mean but little, mean a very great deal in the aggregate? The passing up and down the hall of the right side, without stopping, would facilitate the pass¬ing of classes and eliminate tardi¬ness? Going to lockers between classes and during school hours is unnec¬essary, blocks progress in hallways, causes tardiness? The habit of always entering stairway next to wall in passing from second floor to third or from third to second is a good one to form? No student should ever throw bits of paper on the floor or on tli strict? The age of hieroglyphic writing is past and that no self-respecting student will scribble on the walls or school furniture? The dropping of lunch, lunch papers, etc., about the building and grounds is inexcusable slovenli¬ness? Loud talking, running, jumping, whistling, pushing, boxing, wrest¬ling, etc., are decidedly out of place in the hallways? Throwing snowballs towards the building or inside the building is not justifiable? It is highly improper to be un¬duly familiar? Thre are many opportunities for the development of courtesy, politeness, good manners—that are not utilized? In the long run it never pays to cheat, to plagiarize, to lie, steal or to violate any of the command¬ments? A personal pride, and a common civic pride in all affairs that per¬tain to the school will help to make what we are pleased to call a "good school," a very__ much bet¬ter school? We respectfully ask you to think of these things. If you have alreadv thought once, think again. Jan. 26, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 OGDEN GIVES THRILLS Ogden is not winning any games, but she is doing this: she leads thescore until within three or five minutes of the final score, then she allocs her competitor to run, ahead, thus giving her opponent the supreme thrill of basketball—- winning by a small margin at the very end. What could be more kind than this? We are thinking of changing our song, "Ogden Will Shine Tonight" to "Ogden IS Kind Tonight." OUR TURN We have carried this policy, however, of accommodating our competitors about as far as our generosity will permit, so we are going to take in a few scalps from now on. Davis, the undefeated, will go down before Ogden in the most thrilling game of the season at Weber gym Saturday night. THE LOSING HABIT An act oft repeated makes a habit. We wouldn't mind losing a few more games, only we do not want to form the losing habit. In the game of life the losing habit is bad—very bad—and we do not wish to form it in any of our ac¬tivities. Nothing succeeds like suc-cess and for that reason we must get the success habit. TWO VIRTUES No two virtues stand out more prominently In civic, industrial and social life than those of always be¬ing on the job and on time, i. e., being always dependable and that other of being always willing and apt at cooperating with others. Thfe high school is endeavoring to establish these virtues in students and is, in a large measure, we think, succeeding. This was dem¬onstrated this week when the transition was made from the first to the second semester's work, This was accomplished, despite quite a number of class changes without interruption of work. In times past, re-registration has fre¬quently taken a full day wit! somewhat of a stoppage for som< two or three days. This year, this was accomplished without the losi of a single recitation. And this was possible because teachers and pupils were on the job-—were be¬ing dependable, and were working together, cooperating. Blessed is the man who can and will "take a message to Garcia." SEMESTER CARDS OUT Report cards for the first semes¬ter were issued Wednesday. Par¬ents are asked to inspect these carefully, to sign them and to co¬operate with pupils and teachers in securing the best work possible. TENNIS BALL At council meeting Tuesday it was moved and seconded, voted and passed that the O. H. S. news staff would give the Tnnis ball. The money made will be turned over to council to buy the nets for the tennis courts. It is hoped that the student body will back this $ance, as it promises to be a highly Entertaining one. Definite arrange¬ments have not been made yet, but it will be a matinee affair, and also a leap year dance, so this speaks for a large attendance. It will be right soon, so get your dates, girls, right pronto! AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Am in a doubtful frame of mind about certain things, so am writing to solicit your advice. Before the girls' Accolade, I made a date with a girl who I like very much, but she took another boy to the girls' dance and I was just wondering if I should cancel the date, which, by the way, was to the cadet hop, 'so that she could go to the hop with this boy she took if he should ask her ANXIOUS. Dear Anxious: Don't be silly, Anxious. Just be¬cause your girl friend took some other boy to the girls' Accolade is no sign that she doesn't care for you. Perhaps she took this boy because she wanted to take someone who was congenial to the party she was going with; this is often the case. Anyway, that should make no difference to you and the date you have with her for the hop. She has the privilege to take whom she chooses; neither one of you are going steady. If you want to take her, I mean, really want to, why, her taking someone else should not make a particle of difference to you. If she wants to go with this boy to the hop, she should be lady enough to come and tell you about it. But I hardly think she will. Just let the date stand and I think everything will be all right. AUNT JANE. ORIGIN OF NICKNAMES "Teacher"—little, but mighty, seems to characterize the exponent of knowledge who bears this ridiculous title, and who resides in the secluded room, 305. Or, in other words, the dramatic art class room. It's strange that so small and peppy a girl could be called by that long and revered name "Teacher." When one says that name one instantly thinks old tall, grim lady with glasses and a visage of stone, and so when oil applies this name to Miss Irvine the title becomes rather ridiculous. The incongruity of the situd tion—or should one say of appearances—appeals to one's sense ol humor. This title "Teacher" was tacked onto Miss Irvine at the first of the year by either Kent or Jeanette, we cannot come to a definite understanding as to wh one gave it to hgr, but the facl remains that she has it. And we con¬sider it very appropriate, inaf much as all nicknames are give as the opposite index to the beader's character and appearancSI But anyway, Miss Irvine makes an excellent teacher—and if one pail a visit to her sixth period class there one could witness a shining example of her popularity, for thl class room is filled to overflowSwith the "bright and shining face! of the students" who worship ha as the "last word" in dramatic s And she is—the only incongruttjl in the situation is the matter appearances. For Miss Irvine small, daintily built, peppy, nofl and as absentminded ts some her students. In fact she is oft taken for a very popular stud by visitors. And is so H old order of teachers—hence III nickname—"Teacher." M.K. DATA ON STUDENTS Lee Cain—Fad: Polysyllabic fundity. Leaves room in a hurry. Lived to mimic Caruso, Died a singer of ability.

In writing this article we are not advocating the changing of pie«l from the shape they now are made in. However, we do believe that I square pies are better than round B pies. Since I have been asked forB the reasons I will tell you. It is very obvious that since pieplant is square, pies should be just as since an eggplant lsB round, eggs are. Going on to another point, I square pies are better for throwing purposes. If you have ever seen a discus you know that round, flat things sail farther than any other shaped objects. Since ft square pie is nearer round than a triangular pie it is easy to see how it will sail farther, and if you know science you know that with momentum comes distance and accuracy. Since she can throw square I pies farther, faster, and with more accuracy she can more easily keep friend "hubby" in a subdued state! of mind. Hubby in turn benefits because he is in less danger as a result of being hit by the point of a square pie instead of a triangular pie. This may be shown through a process of geometry. Whereas the sharpest point a square pie may have in 90 degrees, every triangle must have a point of 60 degrees or less sharp. Hence we see how it benefits both hubby and wife. Square pies tend toward greater equality. You and I both know that it is easier to divide a square equally than to divide a triangle equally. I appeal to your sense of justice and hunger, my friends; shall we not have square pies rath¬er than triangular pies, and en-courage justice in the United States? T. B. Mr. Stewart returned to school Wednesday after an enforced ab¬sence of two days on account of illness.
