Show SCHOOL FIRES. In the past two weeks, two fires have been started within our building by some unknown person. One who would endanger our school building by stooping to such foolish tricks has no right to freedom within a community! If a student of Ogden High school is guilty the student body officers desire to make clear their opinion of the matter. Such a fool¬ish, narrow-minded person should be dropped from our school! If, on the other hand, some other person has become so rash, the student body association asks the board of education to demand pro¬tection from city officials. No matter who the person may be, an act such as has been com¬mitted in our building is one of cowardice and insanity.—Blaine., Larsen, secretary. FAIRIES. What are fairies? Up to the ripe old age of seven or eight we be¬lieved them to be little people who could give us anything we wanted. Every day we would sneak around corners, look in the cracks of chairs, and peer in dark closets, hoping to find a fairy. At night after our prayers we would always hope that perhaps we would find one tomorrow. Then, as we became older, the sophistries of a cynical world caught hold of our minds and hearts. Quickly we dropped the lovely illusions that had brought us so much joy. "We are now wise! There are no fairies," we exclaimed with a look of wisdom on our faces, far beyond our meager years. But we are sadly wrong. There are fairies—good fairies and bad fairies. They are our thoughts. All those little fairies that we hunted so diligently in our babyhood have always been with us, sending good or bad thoughts to those we know. Let us always cultivate the good fairies and banish the wicked ones from our minds and hearts. In do-ing this we will always have many friends surrounding us, for they will like us because they know that only good wishes for their well- being and happiness are in our hearts.—Barbara Clarke. FAMOUS SAYINGS. Such Is Life—An egg yesterday, a feather duster tomorrow. As the Thanksgiving turkey says, "Serves me right! I wouldn't be in this mess if I hadn't lost my head." The world is making great strides after all. In Webster's time only one sucker was born each minute. Although your meat may be tough, cheer up! You will probably manage to bend the gravy!—Zilch. ELECTION. The fifth period Spanish class held an election Monday for the third term officers. Those elected are: President, Thei Nielsen; vice- president, Alice Affleck; secretary, Joe West; reporter, Harry Booth. These officers succeeded Roy Peck, as president; Don Olsen, as secretary; Annabelle Hubbell, as vice president; and Joe West, as reporter.—Harry Booth. TO A SNOWFLAKE. Tell me, who gave you those laces so fine? Whence came your jewels so bright in the sun? Diamonds glistening star-like in line, (Would that such jewels might some day be mine). Name me the price I must pay you for one; Why must they gleam with some unearthly shine, Why may your gems by no mortals be won? Why must they fade in these cold hands of mine? —Elizabeth Parkinson. CONGRATULATIONS. We wish to extend our heartiest congratulations to Ruth Burnham and Scott Wangsgard, of Weber High school. They have edited a school paper, The Chieftain, which is commendable and very worthy of a high school organization. Their pluck and initiative in pro¬ducing this literary publication are indeed admirable. CHITTER. Who was: The girl who wrote J. R. a letter asking if she could be his sponsor' The girl that made W. N. blush during his seventh period study in Mr. Robin's room? The sponsor that was being con¬tinually sent to her seat in the seventh period study? —A. W. Wend. BASKETBALL. Basketball season is on. Ogden High school meets Morgan in a double-header Friday afternoon at three-thirty in the school gym¬nasium. 3. CLASS HOLDS TERM ELECTION Spanish Students Choose Leaders; Glee Club Apologizes OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar¬sen, Associate Editor Mr. Hancock's fourth period Spanish class recently held its class election. The new officers are: El¬mer Mumford, president; Royal Cragun, vice president; George Nickols, secretary; Harry Bond, re¬porter; and Frank McQen, chair¬man of the program committee. We wish to congratulate the re¬tiring officers on a successful com¬pleted term and we wish luck to the new ones.—Carlos. English accent and his utter hate for "Sweet Clover." Virginia McNamara, Allen Shively, Elzada Carlson, Norma London, Conrad Smith, and Stratford Smith also made "Cappy Ricks" a fine stage success. Miss Woolley has once again proved her worth by directing her students to another success. Mr. Hansen and the orchestra rendered a fine service through the music presented between the acts. All in all, "Cappy Ricks" was a huge success! THE MEANING OF "A" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and lov¬ing favor rather than silver and gold. A man's pride shall bring him low, but honor shall uphold the hum¬ble in spirit. THE GREATEST THINGS The greatest sin—to receive all A's on your report card. The best teacher—one who does not assign lessons. The best gift—holidays and vaca¬tions. The greatest mistake—to work all your lessons in study hall. The greatest need—a new high school. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. And let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.— Blanche Roach and Dorothie Ryan. APOLOGY The boy's Glee club of the Og¬den High school extends its apolo¬gies to Mark Robinson for the evi¬dent injustice that has been dealt him by some member of our or¬ganization. A few weeks ago there appeared in this column an article accusing Mr. Robinson of an act that was later found to be untrue. We hope that in the future stu¬dents of the school will seek the truth before they attempt to write their views on any subject. If Mr. Robinson has, in any way, been injured by the article printed in the Notes, we can only say that we are sorry, and that the event will not re-occur.—Boy's Glee Club. |
