A FUTILE ATTEMPT Another crumpled paper fell to the floor. I had been trying for an hour to compose an article worthy of publication. Unsuccessfully I at¬tempted again. I wrote poetry in free verse, prose in a Shakespearian style; but it was all lacking in some¬thing, some strong feature. Diligent¬ly I labored with humor, sarcasm and serious facts without once originating anything worth while. By this time I was concerned. Writing had never bothered me be¬fore; on the contrary, it had always come to me very easily. Perhaps I was not in the mood. This, however, consoled me very little. For another half hour I pored over my papers, and, as the last piece fell to the floor, I disbanded all hope, sighing, "What's the use" — meaning there was no use.—Margaret Neal. SPANISH III PERIOD We have a great class the third period. For those who are unaware which class this is I'll now tell you. It is composed of second year Spanish students who are under the direction of Mr. Hancock. This class holds our attention be¬cause we are interested. Why? There are several reasons. Some¬thing new and interesting is always happening. We learn new Spanish songs, stories and sometimes the teacher tells us about Mexico. To prove los alumnos (Spanish stu¬dents) are entertained, just the other day, October 16, we had one hundred per cent attendance. This is not the first time either, all mem¬bers have attended class, for quite often we have a perfect record. Proud? I'll say we are!—Parley Jensen. 15 CAST SELECTED FROM STUDENTS FOR O.H.S. PLAY Fine Performance Looms; School Parades May Be Extended OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. After one of the most competitive try-outs in the history of the school, the cast of the Ogden High school play was chosen last Thursday night by Mrs. Lucille Chambers. After reading over the names of the students chosen for the cast, we anticipate with much interest the pleasing performance of the play that should be forthcoming. The part of "Cappy Ricks" will be played by Fred Nickson, a most capable actor. Virginia McNamara will take the role of "Florence Ricks." "Captain Matt Peasley" will be portrayed by Allen Shivley. Norma London is well cast as "Aunt Lucy Ricks." Bob Buswell, anothei fine actor, has been chosen as "John Skinner." The part of Cecil Bernarc will be performed by Larry Evans Elzada Carlson will play the rolt of Ellen Murray. Brookfield anc Singleton will be played by Conrad and Stratford Smith. We expect a fine production to be presented from these talented students. BOYS INJURED. The student body of Ogden High school pays their sincerest respects and extends heartiest wishes to the four injured boys on the football team for an immediate recovery. Woody Call, one of the co-captains of the squad, was unable to partici¬pate in the game on account of fractured ribs. He is a splendid guard and could have contributed greatly to the game. Darrel Burt, a halfback, has a dislocated shoul¬der, rendering him also incapaci¬tated. His maneuvers on the grid¬iron are admirable, and his aid was missed too. Pete Piersanti, a guard, has frac tured ribs and his place on th team had to be substituted. Pet possesses determination and gri His absence was conspicuous. The members of the Ogden Hig school greatly hope that these fellows will be in good shape for th next game. Our game with Box Elder will be played on Tuesday at three p. m. NO SNUB MEANT. Dear Editors: Yesterday, after our pep rally, several of the merchants between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets remarked to me on the ingratitude of Ogden High school. These merchants have back¬ed us with time and money in several drives. They have purchased tickets which often they had no idea they could ever use, and in many other ways helped us carry on. Almost every merchant belongs to some club or other that is helping us with Bandantix. They feel, after this help, they should receive a little consideration. They feel snubbed and discontented because most independent parades do not pass their establishments. I'm sure we do feel grateful. I know we don't want to snub any of our merchant friends. ,So I ask, can't it be arranged to have our parades continue to Twenty-second street be¬fore turning back on Washington avenue?—A student. We feel that the merchants are justified. In the future, this mat¬ter will receive our consideration. THE PEST. He was just a fat, lazy, teasing pest. Although fat people are sup¬posed to be good-natured, his sense of humor certainly didn't jibe with that of other more sensible people. He was always bothering someone who was busy by playing the lowest types of practical jokes on them. His favorite trick was the swiping of a book, or pencil, or anything else within reach. Whenever a flurry of book-passing struck the room, he was always re¬sponsible. Frequently, these attacks were started when some tormented soul retaliated by "hocking" his book. Once, when he kept a book all morning, one long-suffering boy resolved to fix him, once and for all. With this purpose in mind he secured the antagonizer's books and placed them in his locker. But, in the end, the pest won out by grab¬bing the would-be avenger's books and locking them up, thus necessi¬tating a peace conference between them, and the exchange of books. Pest! He was worse! Absolutely a menace to the school was this bothersome, loafing, book snatcher. And still he runs loose, endangering peace wherever he goes.—Binclius Bromidius. S. O. S. REPORT. An enthusiastic S. O. S. meeting was held Wednesday evening at Roy Peck's home at which seven junior boys and two seniors were chosen as prospective members. We believe we have chosen wisely and selected the most studious, active, and desirable fellows in the school. The following Juniors were sent bids: Hugh Rowe, Scott Dye, Russel Van Dyke, Frank Rynders, Frank Fuller, Junior Bramwell, and Carl Thompson. The two Seniors are Ed Madsen and Albert Lund. Congratulations, fellows! PERFECT ASSEMBLY. One of the most interesting as¬semblies of the year was held Fri¬day. The order was almost per¬fect. After the assembly was brought to order by Dick Baxter, Bertha Barker gave an announce¬ment pertaining to clubs. The or¬chestra then played for the first time, rendering everyone much enjoyment. We were all proud of our
