FOR BEING HAPPY My Dear Fellow Grumblers: Poets, philosophers, and fools of all ages have been writing and preaching on the art of being happy. But as many can't be satisfied unless miserable In body and mind, I'm going to show all such persons the several means to be used for the attainment of such a desirable end. In the first place, my beloved whiners, in order to attain any end, you must get up a stiff resolution to conquer. Yes, you must set down your foot, grit your teeth, let your resolution be as stiff as boiler plate, let your firmness be as unwavering as the rock of Gibraltar. Be de¬termined to be miserable, and you shall get your desires. Never mind what people tell you about bounties of Providence and the beauties of nature; you must sheer off from them like a wealthy upstart from a poor relation. Be sour, savage and snapping; look daggers, and act out your feel¬ings. This is the first great com-mandment with misery. Think you are the most forsaken mortal that misery ever held a mortgage on. Look at everything on the wrong side. If it has no dark side, make one, just so as to enjoy yourself looking at it. Take it for granted that everybody about is especially interested in tormenting you. Fight everything and everybody! You can't miss! The world will be all wrong. You can't fail to be miser¬able!—E. C. HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS At a recent meeting of high school club presidents, Principal Merrill made the following points: 1. High school clubs throughout the United States had their origin in class room work: students who were especially interested in some subject—Latin, French, art music, debating, etc. formed a club in order to pursue further that subject. Most high school clubs today are based upon that common in¬terest in some school subject. Their purpose, stated in another way should be (1) Self improvement, (2) Improvement in school life. Every club should have a defi¬nite and worthy objective and should labor incessantly to achieve that objective. The basis of selection of club members should be on a common interest, rather upon social status. Clubs should not be exclusive and should avoid all tendencies to set themselves apart as a social or select group. Clubs should help to further democratic standards and ideals in public school life. Initiations, if any, into any club should be simple, worthy, whole¬some, and should be confined to formal exercises at a regular meet¬ing of the club: They should, above all, not be publicized. Clubs should not be copies or I related in any way to gangs, sorori¬ties or fraternities. Clubs can, should, and to a large extent are, valuable aids in promoting, sustaining, and helping general school activities. 8. SCHOOL WILL HAVE PARTY IN HOLIDAY TIME Beware of Mistletoe Is Warning To Girls At Holly Hop OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. With the merry jingling of Christ¬mas bells and the gay holiday greetings comes Ogden High's Holly Hop. Just as famous as that tradi¬tional holly wreath is this gala af¬fair. Yes, siree! and this year the Holly Hop promises to be a greater success than ever before. If you haven't your dates you had better heed that old warning, "Do your Christmas dating early!" Don't for¬get. The Berthana is the place. The date is December 21, and, girls, I warn you! Beware of mistletoe!— Winnie Winchell. TO PREPARE BOXES Christmas, what does that word mean to us students of good old Ogden High? Does it mean that we are going to make just ourselves or immediate friends happy or are we going to help someone else? Of course this need not be answered because we all know that Ogden High is going to continue with its Christmas boxes again this year. As is known, our school has for many years purchased (through the kind¬ness of student body and faculty) food and dainties that tend to make a Christmas dinner. Can anything show more real character? Can any¬thing be more American like than to give this grand spirit? I think now, for the very thought of knowing that you have aided in making a less fortunate family happy is in itself a wonderful Christmas present. Last year O. H. S. took a most ac¬tive part in this work, and was highly praised for it. Why not do just as well if not better this year? Let's show our people that we are real, honest human beings. Let's make it go over with such a bang that each year people of all walks of life will refer to "That O. H. S. Gift Box of 1934-35," and also that "Wonderful Spirit to give," work. I suggest that we start early this year in this work. Everyone is in¬terested and I am sure that with the ever whole hearted support of the faculty, we can put this work over big. — (Royal Cragun), Luxo R. C. A REMINDER! The music department of the Ogden High is arranging an excel¬lent program to be presented in the school hall December 20. We are working hard on this pro¬gram and we promise a very satis¬factory entertainment to all who will attend, for Mr. Hanson has put forth his utmost efforts to make it all a success. But we need the co-op¬eration of all the Ogden citizens to come and enjoy this well planned program which is going to be a very unusual and anthropomorphic ar¬rangement. Enthusiasm has been aroused and everyone is looking for¬ward to this big affair. We, as the students of the Ogden High are inviting you to be with us this night; we welcome you all to come and see what we are accom¬plishing in school.—Frona Glines. REPORT Well, we've started the prepara¬tions for a Christmas program. The Christmas spirit has settled its cheerful cloak over the fifth period English class of Miss McKey's. Of course other classes are feeling the effects of the vacation already, but the fifth period class has its plans laid for a real program to be held on Thursday of next week. On December 12 the class held an elec¬tion and officers were elected to act as leaders until the new term. Miss Norma London was unanimously chosen President and Royal Cragun was chosen as vice president. Up to now the class hasn't been honored by officials, but from now on they will be a regular feature. We wish to congratulate these two worthy capable students, and we know that they will do all in their power to make our class one of the best ever. —Harry Bond. LOVE When a high school student falls in love — well, just mark him off your list regardless of his ability at the time he falls in love. You will probably find the Romeo writing pretty poems in the typing class in-stead of doing his typing. Now in the case of J. K. and V. S. at the beginning of the year, that was a real love affair. My, but love was grand, but how the teachers suffered. Take my advice, fellow students, be careful of these amazons of dear old O. H. S.—Gunder. P. S.: Mr. Farnsworth backs me up in this. DESCRIPTION As I drag myself from my study- hall seat, a hot wave of fear, anxiety, and hatred sweeps over me. I struggle out into the hall and
