This might apply to a few individuals, but it is not true of the school in general. The majority of we juniors, on coming to Ogden High, liked the friendly attitude of both seniors and juniors alike. To those who feel that they are being slighted, we say cheer up. There are a thousand other students in the school, and out of that many you will soon iind many friends. Let's us give three cheers for a united, successful year.—Kathryn McGowan. CLASS REPORT The members of Mr. Robin's first period English class have organiz¬ed a Clever Conversationalists club. The officers elected for the next four weeks are as follows: President, Joanne Smith; vice president, Hel¬en Mansfield; secretary, Eloise Mc¬Kay; reporter, Elzada Carlson. The purpose of the club is to improve the oral composition of the mem¬bers. The club will hold its meetings every Monday morning.—E. C. A TOAST Moulded earth are we, and to the earth we shall return—common clay—just as the potter's urn. Life is love and laughter, humilation and sorrow. We live—uncertain of the morrow. Mellow wisdom to those who live! Experience! May it be extensive!— June Streeter. SLEEPINESS A lazy drowsiness prevails. Some students squirm in their seats oc¬casionally, then begin to dream again about romantic illusions, while others exert enough ambition to sup¬press a yawn. "Oh, pardon me," they say to the teacher. "Would you mind repeat¬ing the question?" The question is asked again, but the majority of boys and girls sit, even then, with a blank and disinterested expression on their faces. They can't think, their sleepy minds are at rest. The droning of the instructor's voice rings incessantly in their ears, but they pay no heed. They are too busy sleeping or counting minutes. Such is the case eyery Friday dur¬ing the seventh period. TATTLES "Woe is me!" It seems that no¬body likes my sense of humor. Espe¬cially that funny Luke. (Funny is sarcasm). May I suggest to Luke to quit flirting around the halls? Say Jack, I was just wondering if you happened to remember that Eliza M. will be expecting you next Saturday. Mary, I guess you'll have to go to the dance with me. Ab asked me to tell you gossip writers to please leave the talk about the fair lady and her brace¬let alone. How do you fellows ex¬pect him to make any headway if you keep the young lady in an up¬roar? Margaret, I've just found out how to win your heart, and, boy, am I glad? A. F. gave me the slight de-tails. Say, Buffalo Bill, if you use your six shooter (your line) in front of this blonde senior girl, she would probably break you. Wouldn't you, P. M.? Dorothy Dean and Dick both agree that there was a pretty moon the other night. I guess D and D. are back together again. Luke, I'll have you understand that Verlaine is taking up art and that I don't know the first thing about locker decorating. I hope you all don't mind. Your old friend, Burp II. Found: A gold and black music pin in ladies' dressing room. If right de¬scription is given, owner may have same—Sue Jones, room 218. 14 SCHOOL NEEDS YELL MASTER FOR CAMPAIGN Former Junior High Leaders Advised To Try For Position OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. As the football season is at hand, a selection will soon be made by fche student body of a yell leader. In electing a student to this posi¬tion, we should take into consideration three important qualities: personality, a thorough knowledge of the school yells, and ability to sway the student body with his en¬thusiasm. Any person possessed with these requisites should make a splendid choice. We urge the former yell leaders at the junior high school to "get in the swim." Dear Non-Athlete: Your article regarding R. O. T. C. officers has caused me much grief. Several stu-dents, after comparing your method of writing to mine, have falsely ac¬cused me of writing the note. Non-Athlete, would you insert a small piece in the notes stating that I did not write the article? This would clear me of all suspicion, and your identity would still remain a secret. Won't you please do me this favor,—Frantzen Todd. DISCOVERIES As a junior, I'm just finding out why the former students of Ogden High school wished, waited, and begged for a new school building; what tape and iodine are used for; how many shirts can lose their dis¬tinguishing characteristics in a "waterless water fight"; what a rad¬iator romance is; what it is like to be pushed up and down crowded stairways; and how delightful an "accomplished artists' assembly" can be.—Bits by Bits. WATER FIGHT "Nature in the raw" (or should we say students) was in existence during the "waterless water fight" held Thursday night in Lester park. Nearly every one of the approxi¬mately five hundred ,Ogden High school he-men, juniors and seniors alike, put their heart and soul (at any rate shirts and trousers) into what ended in this city's most near¬ly nude non-stop squabble. At our- thirty, when Mr. Merrill explained there would be no water, the an¬nual event was proclaimed non-decisional, and the contestants left the battlefield in what shreds of sup¬posed-to-be clothing they still pos¬sessed.—Beverly Betts. MUSIC INSTRUCTION A number of our music classes had a very instructive talk last Tuesday by Mark Robinson, music supervisor of schools. Mr. Robin¬son explained that voice, next to intelligence, is the most important possession a man can have. He can progress farther and accomplish more with a voice than he could otherwise. There are many people whom we think have beautiful voices, but what poor, poor judges we some-times are! Now, however, an in¬strument has been invented which tests the quality and tone of music created by one's intangible vocal chords. Not everyone can afford private instruction, though supervision is very necessary to retain a beautiful voice. In our own school, we are fortunate to have the opportunity of obtaining correct training under the talented and able Mr. Hanson. —Mary Vance. MUSTACHES I would like to know what some of the girls must have said to in¬fluence the fellows to grow mus¬taches. Those of Bob Clark's, Rudger Thornock's, Jay King's, and Paul Richard's are some of the best looking. Franklin Schmidt also states that he has been endeavoring to raise a little fuzz under his nose for nine-teen years. He expects to have re¬sults within the next ten. Since these few hairs apparently attract attention, there are a num¬ber of boys who are in demand. This being the case, why not or¬ganize a mustache club—Winch-All's Little Boy Valter. |
