Show MISCELLANEOUS Since the editors have sent out an SOS for more humor, I have de¬cided to show them that I, too, have wit. Perhaps though, I had better leave that for you to decide. Well, all I know is just what I see in the halls—that is, that Cragun, Marge, Dixie, and Emily are holding their own again this year, while some students, such as D. H., H. F. J., N. L. A., and C. Y., just must graduate on account of their alumni boy friends. Will that "blonde senior" ever give up trying to obtain B. L.'s bracelet? (Ab, a faint heart never won a fair lady.) What's happened to Burp's sense of humor? Perhaps he's wasting it on some fair lass. The last time I saw him, he had taken up locker decorating (personally, however). I'm glad now that I didn't go to the "waterless water fight." I was told that it was no place for girls. Perhaps I have reported enough gossip for one time, but I'll be "flit¬ting" around the halls very soon.— Luke. TO THE PUBLIC Parents, relatives, friends of stu¬dents are respectfully asked not to call students during school hours except in cases of sickness or dire distress. It is impractical to call students from classes to answer telephone calls. PRE-SEASON GAME A taste of Tiger football was of¬fered Friday as our Ogden football squad engaged Davis High in a pre-season thriller. The game was play¬ed on our practice field. Led by Rouse and Carruth and backed by a strong forward wall, the Tigers fought their way to a 13-0 victory. All in all, the squad gave the appearance of a fighting team. We are pleased with the results of the first Tiger attack this year. Coach Simkin has been on the job. Of course a number of defects were found in the play, but we are sure that they will be corrected within the next few weeks. Fine work, Tigers. 15 PUPILS URGED TO BE SPORTS ABOUT LOSING Ogden Poet Will Address Meeting of Club Thursday OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Webster's definition of sportsmanship is, "One who is fair and generous in all sports." Especially does this definition apply to the students of all high schools. When a team loses a game, it is often heard said by a few that the game was not played fair, or some other alibi. These excuses show how little some people value unity, good will, and understanding. Let's uphold sportsmanship, students, as one of our main ideals, so that jeers, boasts, and loud denunci¬ations of the rival team will not be used at games—Le Ida Roberts. Dear Susie: Who wrote the arti¬cle signed non-athlete in the Notes September 20, 1934?—Nose Not. Dear Nose Not: From all ap¬pearances a great many people would like to know the answer to this question. I am not aware of his identity myself. The article was handed in typed and signed, A Non-Athlete.—Susie. JUST AN EXPRESSION She said, "I think you're swell." Can this be what she means? Her tone was so sweet and affectionate, hut her words were so insulting. Webster says "swell" means to in¬flate, increase in size, become larger. Although I looked intently at the boy addressed, I could not detect any sudden change in his appear¬ance. He seemed to be the very same size as he always had been. Balloons swell and go up in the air. Could she have meant he Wfis up in the air? She couldn't have, for he had both of his feet on the solid ground. Then what is the meaning of this figure of speech she used? Perhaps some new lan¬guage being introduced. Surely it is not a part of that old and so long beloved English language. There is only one answer, it must be part of that form of speech which has corrupted all language—slang.— Margaret Neal. FAULTS MIRRORED Do you know some one who is continually complaining about something or finding fault with some-one? Do you not despise this per¬son and feel as though you would lfke to choke all of his complaints back into his throat? Or do you complain and find fault along with him? If you complain that most peo¬ple are selfish, unsympathetic and absorbed in their own pursuits, the chances are, ten to one, that you are conspicuous for the very faults you condemn. To secure sympathy we must give as well as take. In a crowd, it is the person that pushes who thinks he is being pushed; it is the person who is re¬solved to get to the front, who com¬plains that everybody wants to be before him. If people speak rough¬ly to you, it is doubtless because you first spoke roughly to them. The world of humanity is a mirror in which is reflected your own fea¬tures. If you are a complainant, brace up and forget your complaints, and you'll find the world much brighter.—Elzada Carlson. HAVE YOU NOTICED— The tactics some senior girls use to gain a sponsorship? Darrell R's attraction for a cer¬tain senior brunette whose first name is Margaret? That Ab Lund is always playing in the halls or classrooms? How lost Dorothy Dean has been since school started? That the clubs are greatly boost¬ing the student body sales?—Buffalo Bill. Hello, Folks: Nope, I guess you haven't heard of me. I just came over, and I couldn't get back, so I'm going to snoop around here just like I snooped around where I came from. I hope you don't mind. I've only been here for a short time, so I haven't seen much; but the short time I have been here, I noticed one couple that were to¬gether continually; and from what I hear, have been that way for a year. She is a light brown-haired : girl, and he is tall and dark. Every day after lunch they sit on the radiator down the basement in the east hall; she looks up at him with a light in her eyes, and he does, too—say, this must be getting seri¬ous. I haven't found out who they are yet, but I certainly intend to. Well, folks, I'll be seeing you and perhaps I'll have more to tell you, because I am—Snooping Sall. The members of Novi Poetae have arranged a program for their first open meeting which we think will interest all students. We have ar¬ranged to have Miss Phyllis McGinley, an Ogden poet, speak. The purpose of this meeting is (1) to increase the membership of the club, and (2) to acquaint the students with the work and results of Novi Poetae. The meeting is to be held on Thursday, September 27, in Room 303. We heartily invite all stu¬dents interested in any phase of poetry.—Iola Langford, secretary. DON'T I WISH I HAD: Dorothy Dean's beautiful red hair; Dick Baxter's executive talent; Pudgy Arthur's personality; Fred Nickson's English accent; Bertha Barker's sweetness; Bob Clark's mustache; Ruth LaVin's likeability; Marge Boyle's complexion; Conrad Smith's humor; Betty Lake's profile.—Peter Zane. We wonder why— Mr. Thornley tells us that we talk with our faces in front of us? Mary S. comes late to Sociology every day? Eliza and Mary are never separated? Advanced algebra is fun in a class of 33 boys and only one girl? There were so many boys at the little sister party? Burp has branded himself as an authority on problems of the heart? Some people feel that they do not want to buy a student body ticket? We have been asked to stop at this point?—Shrimp and Short. |
