Show Marge and therefore different— doesn't mind the work nor be¬grudge the time she puts on them because she loves to do them. She has a terribly hard time making herself do anything she doesn't like to do, but work like this comes easy to her. It has been said that she has quite a talent for writing and the notes prove that she has. Writing the notes would prove monotonous to most people, but not to Marge. They hadn't better be, since she has chosen "penning poetry and prose" as her work. Marge's likes and dislikes are as varied as her personality. Ban¬anas, poetry, noisemakers and Miss Reva Beck are her chief objects of adoration, while steam calliopes and history tests are her main ob¬sessions. You have to know these things to understand Marge—and even then you don't. —T. B. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Do you think it proper to ask a boy either to dinner or down to your house, if you've only been out with him once? I like a boy awfully well, and have only been out with him once, but my folks want him to come down to dinner and I think I hardly know him well enough. I don't want him to think I'm chasing him up. LUCILLE. Dear Lucille: Nowadays the younger set seem to be a lot freer in their relations with each other, and go around to each other's I houses and stay for dinner as often as they please. This is an excellent thing, for it tends to do away with foolish sentimentality and makes the younger set pals. It certainly is proper to ask a boy down to dinner or to your house even if you've only been out with him once. If you like him, and he is nice, and you want to, just ask him to come down some night to dinner, strictly informal. Find some means to entertain him—ask another couple in to play bridge or anything, but when he gets there I don't suggest going to a show or dance. Certainly, you should ask him if you so desire and it won't look like you are running after him. It is the right and proper but not compulsory thing to do. AUNT JANE. STELLAE There wasn't much time for star gazing last Thursday night when Stellae met at Roger Woods', al¬though Bugs turned the whole house and backyard loose to use. The main business, which was selecting new members, brought the question whether we shoulcl take in members of the fair ses or whether the new Stellaetes should be boys. Of course, there was plenty of discussion and the fair sex won, for two girls and one boy were voted in. They are Mar¬garet Ellingson, Maxine Fox and Kent Bramwell. Congratulations and welcome. We also discussed the prospects of a party, but this was soon quiet¬ed when it was rumored that there were eats coming on as soon as the business meeting: was over. It is rumored that John misses the eats because he went aown to toll Mar¬garet Ellingson about the new members. Ahem! —WARREN "WATTIS. OPERA TRYOUTS Don't forget the tryouts for the opera, "The Mikado," by Sullivan are going to be held next Friday in the music room. INTERESTING TALKS At faculty meeting this morning the teachers got away from peda¬gogy out into life. Claud Coray gave an interesting! talk on 'What Makes an Airplane Fly," and Leonard Robins talked on "Henry Ford's Philosophy of Life and the Future of Machinery.' Both talks were brim full of inter¬esting information and were mucl enjoyed by the teachers. MOSQUITOES 'Most everybody knows that mosquitoes are pestiferous little insects that bite one and annoy one. Bui who knows any more about them. Well, Frank Oberhansley's students do. They can talk for an hour on these interesting little creatures U their life history, habits and plac in the universe. This is the characteristic of modern schooling. Dt learn to know all that is possibla about the common things of lif t about us. PROMOTIONS Captain C. J. Dockler and B. H. Hyde, instructors at high school, are two of the many new purchas¬ers of motor cars. It is interesting to watch school teachers rise from the pedestrian class to the four- cylinder class and then on into the higher booster class. We wonder when school teachers will break into the Pierce-Arrow or Rolls- Royce class. "THE MIKADO" Instructor Ralph Peterson secured Saturday the orchestration and opera scores for "The Mikado" and his classes began active study of the opera on Monday. He proposes putting the opera on about March 21. We are looking ahead with fond anticipation to the presentation of this fine musicale. Feb. 29, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 IN CAFETERIA Thoughts while eating in the cafeteria: "Tom" Garner standing directly back of Margaret Stew¬art. Miss Garcia headed upstairs with a daintily arranged tray. Mrs. Chambers and Grace Atkinson, arms about each other, discussing Paris gowns. The menu on the blackboard directly opposite the door, spaghetti and cream tomato soup filling the air with appetizing odors. Miss Chesney with a bowl of chili. Kate Greenwell eating alone. Mrs. Franke, the last at the counter. Soprano notea ming¬ling with the deeper tones in the large dining room; the crash of a fallen tray; finally the sound of the crockery being piled together; the ring of the next period bell; then the cafeteria is quiet once more. —Marian Whitton. CLUB REPORTS Just an inquiry as to what is the matter with the club reports. For a time they were coming in quite regularly, and were proving to be a source of interest to the various students—but now they've stopped. Come on, it takes very little effort to write up an account of a club meeting! GENE FOR QUEEN Gene, competing with Dorothy, and Vella, is in direct contrast to the two. She is tall and slender, but of a baby doll type, with fluffy golden hair and big blue eyes. Gene is president of Congress and a very intelligent debater—(as you have to be when you're' in Congress). She gained untold recognition and praise for her characterization of "Mary the Third"; she was ador¬able in the role. There is a com¬bination of beauty and brains in Gene, exactly what we desire in a queen. Just who will be queen— Dorothy, Vella or Gene? AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: I am very much in love with a girl. Although she seems to like me and treats me Well, and in a way sort of leads me on, she seems a little indifferent and bored when I'm around. I'm all vague. What shall I do to get things straight¬ened out?—C. N. Dear C. N.: It is uncommon nowadays for girls to be indifferent to boys, but still your girl friend may be old- fashioned. Maybe she is aware of the fact that you are in love with her and isn't sure of her own feel¬ings so is leading you on until she finds out if she is in love with you. The best advice I have to offer is— see her and ask her! —Aunt Jane. G. A. PRESIDENT She certainly is different, is Carmen Garner (Tom), our Girls' Association president. Original to the point of cleverness—she has no false scruples nor ideals. She thinks straight and clearly and acts the same way, which is refreshing and unusual. But she doesn't think at all in history. However, that is s beside the point. We started out to tell you what a snappy, clever president she is and how! A better one could not be found, and the girls are certainly fond of her. She may be frank and outspoken but she is sympathetic and understanding at the same time, and being athletically inclined, knows and has the interests of the girls at heart. We we said before, we like her —lots! TO A CHINESE GOD God, with the burning incense mist And stolid mein, and patient eyes, How I would love to find the secret That must lie behind your hateful eyes, Your smug content, your placid conceit. You fat, greasy, and jaded god I'd give the world to once upset Your calm existence—your smug content. —Jeannette Rosenburg. CONGRESS Congress has displayed a sur¬prising lack of originality. The 12 members seem united in the opin¬ion that Hoover and Smith are the two best candidates. This has been said time and again and so the senators are merely repeating. Of course since this is the first of-fense, the senators may be pardoned. Before the presidential campaign started the senators were favored by a talk by Ed Smith on the aims of the Classicalia and the clubs' relationship to it. The talk re¬freshed the senators for the strenu¬ous work before them. —Margaret Schmaltz, Reporter. FORUM At last the Forum roster is full. Our entire membership now con¬sists of Pete Cain, Blaine Morse, Ralph Roberts, Willie Larson, Mil¬ton Rawson, Dan Johnson, Karl Hopkins, Clark Nye, Tom Broadbent, John Carver, Tillman John¬son and Charles Dunn. Now watch the fireworks. Monday night, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Nye took Mr. Heiner and Mr. Larsen to task on the question, "Resolved, that the awakening of the Mongolian race is threatening the supremacy of the white race." The debate was enjoyed by all pres¬ent, Both sides were well organ¬ized, but the negative was a little the stronger. You should have seen Mr. Larson in the role of orator. The next meeting will be carried out in an original manner. Mr. Smith will start the meeting by calling on someone for a two-min¬ute talk on some subject. He will give his talk and then will call on someone else to give a talk on some subject which he—the previous speaker shall suggest. And so on ad infinitum. Also the next three meetings are scheduled and we're raring to go. Our triangle starts "pronto." Pardon me, Mr. Smith and Mr. Corey. I should add that these two gentlemen are our advisors, and are very much the same as regular members, except that they are called advisors. We had about 12 members from the juniors highs with us as vis¬itors. AIN’T IT FUNNY There's some folks we don't miss at all, There's some that we miss a pile, And the ones that we don't miss we see a lot, And the others just once in a while. March 1, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 LOUISE Louise Becker is lined up as one of the 15 girls up for queen of the Classicalia. Soon, we hope, she will be one of the seven and then "The One! For she is an individual. She is neither tall nor short—but just right and she lias more than her rhare of good looks. More than hat, she has personality, spelled vith a big P. She possesses all of he little refinements that are so equisite to one so prominent, so¬cially. She is sweet, charming and efined, a good sport and a better friend. She just seems to glide along; her whole carriage just seems to bespeak "Q-U-E-E-N- L-Y!" Stellae and Carpe Diem proudly claim her as a member, and every¬one who comes in contact with her claims her instantly as a friend. Vote for Louise. Echo: "Of course!"—Anonymous. GAMMA KAPPA The regular Gamma Kappa meeting was called to order by President Willie Larsen on Thurs¬day. The treasure hunt was under discussion for some time, and everyone declared he had a won¬derful time, even among the ghoul haunted cypress trees and on that long, long walk in the moonlight with the cold black water shining beneath the path. And the members claimed adeptness in the art of eating noodles (we saw our worthy president manage three big long ones at once!) After the discussion, there was a very enjoyable program arranged by Willie Larsen. Arleen Nelson offered two selections on the guitar Jay Heiner played three numbers on his harmonica, and Thomas Larsen entertained the club with an interesting talk on his trip to Norway and displayed some souven¬irs from that country.—Kathryn Blake. SOLITUDE Weary and foot-sore, the travel¬er stopped a moment to scoop off some snow shoes, and to draw his cap tightly to one side so that the twirling flakes might not strike his face. Realizing that his journey was not ended and fearful lest he miss the road, he shifted his pack and slowly plodded forward between the thick belt of pine trees that were powdered with snow. As he reached the top of the hill, the snow suddenly ceased falling, and he looked down on the most unusual scene. The moon, like a small arc, hung low in the sky and dimly lighted the silent valley which was bounded by four snow-covered hills. A cluster of pines stood out against the white back¬ground. Peppering the bluifih gray heavens were the shimmering dia¬mond-like sparkles of myriads of evening stars. Arched with an emisl sulendor was the great milky r way that shed the same feeling as does a rainbow after a shower. The wind left its abode in the trees and swooped down into the snow and blew great clouds into the air. Suddenly the man heard the faint tinkle of sleigh bells that seemed like elfin laughter to his ears. Breathing a sigh of relief that he was on the right trail, he hurried onward into the night. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Some girls and myself have al¬most decided to go "stag" as they say to the Classicalia, but are await¬ing your opinion as to whether it would be proper or not. Would it? —Zelta. Dear Zelta: The Classicalia is Ogden High school' s "fun dance," and everyone does hia "darndest" to have a good time, so if you think you will have fun going "stag," it is quite proper to do so to this dance. Most of the girls and boys are going stag, so you will have company. Personally, I think that just a crowd of girls will have "oodles" of fun stagging it to the Classicalia. I would go that way if I were you. More fun! —Aunt Jane. SONNET ON DEATH As a black threatening monster of fate Steals through the halls of dusk Death emerges at an unexpected date To turn the body into remorse and dust. He floats along in silence draped He creeps into my ladies' bower ! Sometimes in a guise of slumber faked Where he thrusts upon his ruth¬less dower So God wills His creatures to re¬claim Some in peace, some in pain, Back to the earth from whence they came There to dissolve into kingly ele- ments again. When life has flown and death appears I pray 'twill come without its tears. —Helen Hodge. OPERA TESTS Don't forget to try out for the opera, Friday, in the music room. Anyone in school is eligible to try out—one doesn't have to take music. CABARET! A scurry of heels, Noise! Laughter! The wail of a saxophone! The smoke of tobacco Thickens the air. A cornetist In seeming agony. A drummer In a frenzy Frenzied, drunken Bacchanale! Champagne is plenty. Wine flows everywhere. The glare of the lights The blare of the band. The glaring And the blaring The wine And tobacco The smiles of beautiful women Painted, fixed, staring, Smiles! Why, oh, why Cannot I Forget myself And join them In their fun— In their drunken joy! —Jeanette Rosenburg. SCORED AGAIN Ogden High scored again on Tuesday when the spring Classicum appeared. We regard this issue as one of the best the school has ever issued and naturally we are very, very proud of it, and all its talented contributors. In art, I poetry, essay, humor, club, class and department section it sets a very high standard. COUNCIL REPORT Regular council was called to order by President Hales; the roll was called and the minutes were read and corrected. Milton Rawson, chairman of the tennis tournament committee, reported that plans were made for the tournament. On motion of Lee Cain the report was accepted. Marjory Kelly gave a report ot the "Tennis Ball" finances,' which report was accepted on motion of Kent Bramwell. Carmen Garnet asked for permission for the Girls' association to sponser the presentation of a series of plays. It was moved and seconded that permission be granted to them to do so" The motion was carried. On motion of Mr. Roberts it was decided to vote on excuses from council in our regular meet¬ing. Council then adjourned. —Dorothy Foulger, Secy. March 5, 1928 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 March the first has come and gone, but no work has begun on the new stadium. The question is "Are we going to have our new stadium?" It seemed almost cer¬tain and now we are inclined to think the opposite. It means a great stride in the progress of Og¬den. Why put it off? MY DEAR For the last two days I've heard a lot of whispering going on— there must be something rotten in Denmark, 'cause I've heard muf¬fled screams and gurgling noises, and talk about "It'll be out soon" and "How much money?" and "Where shall we do it?" and "For goodness' sake, don't let anyone find it out." |
