Show CANTATA Just by way of a reminder, may we say again that the Christmas cantata will be given for the gen¬eral public Thursday, December 20, in our auditorium at seven-thirty o'clock. We urge the townspeople of Ogden to attend this festival of Christmas music. Mr. Hanson and his chorus are dbing all in their power to create, by means of music, and atmosphere Of holy and worshipful Christmas. The result of their efforts will be shown and heard on December 20 in our auditorium. We heartily invite all to be pres¬ent. There will be no admission charge. This Christmas cantata is the Ogden High school's Christmas gift to you, parents ! HOLLY HOP At first it was thought that there Would be no Holly Hop this year. The expenses are usually more than the income on the Holly Hop, we were told. However, the student body did not want to finish 1934 without a dance. Because of this fact, they have arranged, after much pains¬taking effort, to hold the Holly Hop at the Berthana on December 21. It will begin at nine o'clock. The prices are thirty-five cents apiece or fifty cents a couple. Let's show our appreciation to the Student body officers by supporting whole-heartedly the Holly Hop! Re¬member, it is the last social event Of 1934! Come to the Holly Hop! We, the students of Mr. Han¬cock's sixth period sociology class wish to express our gratitude and thanks to Mr. David Wangsgard prominent figure in Utah education¬al circles, for his interesting talk on "The Actual Poverty Conditions in Ogden." We are certain every one enjoyed it and sincerely hope he will honor us again at some future date.—Tom Harris. INTOLERANCE Several years ago (about the time most of us were born) a truly great picture was produced. It was called Intolerance," and in it, scenes tak¬en from the pages of history wsre graphically shown. Wars, rebel¬lions, hatred, and evils of all kinds Were shown to spring from intoler¬ance of others' opinions and beliefs Intolerance in the sense of actu¬ally persecuting and slaughtering people who differ from us in opin¬ion, as was done in all civilized countries until the last century or two, has died out. Of course there are instances when some two-for-a-quarter dictator, fearful of losing either his head or his power fig-uratively loses his head and orders a purging of the nation he rules However, intolerance still abounds, and, frequently, this intolerance causes great grief and discomfort to others. We are inclined to scoff at any opinion that differs from our own, and to scorn another plan although it may really be superior to our own. Not only in our attitude toward our school mates, but in our atti¬tude towards the world, we are apt to act superior. The high school age is the only time when we "know it. all." As we grow older we change and we realize how little we do know. But why should we wait for age to bring us profit by the experience of others? Students, if you would be happier in your school life, in your home life, and in your contacts with the world, learn that great virtue, tolerance, and life will be happier for you and your associ¬ates.—Wayne Bundy. GUNDER TALKS What's this I hear of some students not going to the Holly Hop? 11. VOTES CAST BY HISTORY CLASS Will Serve Six Weeks; Debate Will Be Conducted OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The seventh period history class, conducted by T. O. Smith, held elec¬tion of officers Monday. The fol-lowing were elected for a term of six weeks: Sidney Cole, president; Marion Wheelock, vice-president; Emma Jean Alvord, secretary; and Orin Moffatt, class correspondent. The officers' duties are: Calling and checking of the roll, conclud¬ing unfinished business and bring¬ing up any new business before the class. We are expecting the plan to prove a huge success, as all in the class are enthusiastic co-workers. We are anticipating an interest¬ing debate January 7. Sidney Cole and Emma Jean Alvord will take the affirmative side against Marion Wheelock and Orin Moffatt.—S. H. CARPE DIEM For the purpose of showing what Carpe Diem is doing, the club in¬vited a number of girls outside the club to visit the meeting Wednes¬day. After the president, Jane Davis, had welcomed the guests, an ex¬cellent program was given. Mary Cave gave a talk on "Winterology" in which she told about winter sports in general. Beverly Betts played a piano solo by Rheinberger titled "The Chase." Mr. Taggart talked on his experiences in winter sports in Switzerland. This talk was very unusual and very inter¬esting. Eliza McKell read "Annie's and Willie's Prayer." The members and pledges then sang the club song, "Carpe Diem," and were ac¬companied by Ed Smith, the com¬poser of the song and the advisor of the club. The meeting was then adjourned.—Clara Young, reporter. 12.

Parents, come hear us; don't miss a golden opportunity to spend an enjoyable evening. GOOD WILL TO MANKIND Nineteen hundred and thirty-four years ago a tiny cry announced the birth of a new Baby, a new era in civilization, and a new religion. Today we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of this Child with joy. To children it means the time Santa Claus comes. To older people it is the time when one receives lovely gifts from friends and relatives. Yet it is on this day so many cen¬turies ago that a little Lamb was born to be sacrificed for the sins of the world. With His coming came a new idea, a new truth. This great truth is brotherly love. On Christmas we should shed all barriers and no mat¬ter what our creed, nationality or j color is, we should acknowledge our kinship to the world, for we are bound by the strongest tie there is —the love of a little Infant for His humble subjects. When you leave your school books and go home for the celebration of Christmas, amidst your joy in your lovely gifts, pause a minute and whisper in your heart, "Peace on earth and good will to mankind."— Barbara Clark. |
