ON BEING A CADET Girls, the cadet's life is not so "soft" as you thing. We cadets must be at school in ample time to get our guns and form into different companies. Then, at command, we inspect our guns, put them on our right shoulders, and answer roll call. If we are on the drill ground, we stack our guns, march to a cer¬tain part of the field, and exercise for fifteen minutes. We then as¬semble, recover our guns and march for the remaining half hour. If we are on the street, we form in our companies, inspect our guns, put them on our right shoulders, answer our names when they are called, and march there for nearly an hour. Major Dyer and Sergeant Holloway visit the companies to see that we are executing the move¬ments correctly. When the bugle blows, we march back to school and put our guns in the gun room. When we enter the school building, we perspire heavily on account of the wool shirts, which hold the body heat. The wool collars make our necks itch, and this feeling is very uncomfortable. On rainy days, we hear lectures on the importance of being a cadet and information regarding our standing in the cadet units. Af¬ter, when we go on the drill field, noses, ears, and hands are blue from cold. Then there are parades on holi¬days and we are usually the last attraction in the parade. We stand for a long time on the side streets to wait our turn to "strut our stuff." While we are marching, our band, combined with a drum corps or two, tries to suggest the correct time. Af¬ter deciding which step is proper, we are obliged to take half steps, sliding our feet until we feel dizzy. When the parade is half complet¬ed, the eight pound rifle feel like heavy cannons. The commands are frequently inaudible on account of the noise; hence, we just do what the man in front of us does. Therefore, girls, though we do not complain, the life of a cadet is not all pleasantness, but it is made up of experiences which teach co-operation, obedience, and self control. —Bill Pullum. A QUESTION To the Editors: Why do the Notes appear irreg¬ularly in the paper? Is it because of lack of contributions?—Toots. Dear Toots: A number of factors cause this condition. Occasionally there are not enough articles contributed. Sometimes the editors are respon¬sible for no publication of the Notes. Oft times there is no space in the paper for our Notes. In fact, every¬one concerned in the publication of the Notes is responsible; yet no one in particular can be blamed if the Notes do not appear.—Editors. WANTED More humorous articles for the Notes. Bigger and better radiators. A hall for the Holly Hop. More girls who fall for privates instead of noncoms. The address of that blonde in seat four, row three. A junior girl for Owen. Less study hall disturbing noise from the gym.—Alais "Toots." COMPLIMENTS We extend our compliments to the part time girls who take cooking, as they accomplish their tasks well and are noted for the high quality of the food which they cook. I wonder why Rynders and Smalley don't incorporate and get mar¬ried. Rynders has started to get just like Smalley lately. I hope you can stand it, "Pop."—A.L.J. FAMILIAR SAYINGS Mrs. Newcomb: "I submit to you." Mr. Hancock: "When I was in Mexico—" Jim Randall: "I got a bone in my leg." Elmer Mumford: "I crave fem¬inine companionship." Frank McQuen: "If I was the kind of guy who . . ." Mr. Merrill: "Interrupt for a mo¬ment."—Keyhole Pete. 4. OGDEN HIGH TO ENTERTAIN AT YULE CONCERT Music Department Gives Christmas Program December 20 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar¬son, Associate Editor Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! Now that the school play is over, the next presentation to the public of Ogden High school talent will be on December 20, when the music de¬partment presents its Christmas program. Mr. Hansen promises it will be well worth hearing, as he will present the combined choruses, the orchestra, which will accompany and also offer some selections of its own, and a few soloists. The solos will be such as "Cantique de Noel," and the "Holy City." The chorus, instead of spending so much time learning a cantata, will present such masterpieces as the "Hallelujah chorus" from Handel's oratorio, "The Messiah," and the chorus, "And the Glory of the Lord" by Mendelssohn. Hearing these two chorus numbers along would be well worth your while, as they have never been surpassed in all the years since they were written. The orchestra sets tne new mood with "Pastoral". Then, sounding far away and weird, a negro spirit-ual, "Listen to the Lambs," will ring softly through the hall. Chang¬ing its mood with unexpected swift-ness, this simple melody, arranged for chorus work by Noble Cain, rep¬resents the highest and finest in American traditional music. Con¬cluding with the old Yuletide carols the program, presented by a music department unexcelled in recent years, will be over, and all who at¬tend will have spent a most enjoy-able evening. So, students, tell your parents, and be sure that they attend. In this way, you can help advertise our school and make Ogden "O.H.S. conscious."—W.B. TRIP ENJOYABLE Four students of Ogden High school and a faculty advisor, Miss Osmond, journeyed to Provo Satur¬day in order to attend the largest journalistic congregation ever as¬sembled in Utah. Editors, and oth¬er student officers in every high school in the state were present, Ruth La Vin Cragun, Emily Merrill, George Lowe and Stratford Smith being the representatives from Og¬den High school. A program in which constructive speeches were presented to help the editors better student publications lasted from nine in the morning un¬til noon. After luncheon other presentations were offered includ¬ing a student tour of the B.Y.U. campus, dancing entertainment, and a banquet. Harrison R. Merrill, ed¬itor of the Improvement Era, and President Harris were among the many interesting and educational speakers on the program. The day was filled with interest. No other convention could have had more desirable entertainers and speakers; no other convention could have offered more practical sugges¬tions for improving literary pub¬lications. Ogden High school cor¬dially thanks the Brigham Young university for its efforts in as-sembling students coming from even 300 miles. REGRET The Notes extend to Joe Limburg the most profound regrets of the Og¬den High school, in the death of his father. We realize that the loss of his father will be a serious obstacle for Joe to overcome. The least possible comfort we can give him will be our efforts, by dis¬playing kindness and friendship to him, to fill the gap that has enter¬ed his life. To the Limburg family we also of¬fer our sympathy and comfort. SCHOOL PLAY After seeing the single perform¬ance of Cappy Ricks, we have noth¬ing but congratulations for every¬one who in any way assisted in its production. Staged and directed in the most polished manner, the school play of this year stands far ahead of any productions that have been pre¬sented in the past few years. Fred Nickson, as "Cappy Ricks" reminds us, not of a high school student, but of one of the fine stage stars we hear so much about. The highest compliment we can pay Fred is to say that in the perform-ance he was not Fred Nickson but "Cappy Ricks." Bob Buswell, the ever ready Skin¬ner, was, in our opinion, the best general manager in the shipping business; Eob played his part to per¬fection. "Cecil Pericles Bernard," portray¬ed by Larry Evans, won the admira¬tion of the audience because of his
