Show 1. JUNIORS ARE FAVORED FOR BAND PLACES Trained Students Needed, Along With Instruments, By Ogden High OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Emily Merrill, editor. Blaine Larsen, associate editor. All of you know of the campaign being made by prominent Ogden organizations to raise funds for in-struments essential to the success of our school band. Students, of course, must be ob¬tained to play the instruments. There are rules to this game as there are in any other contest. The student must be able to read well. A junior will be given every pref-erence over a senior. Anyone wish¬ing further information should see Mr. Hanson as soon as possible.— Iola Langford. ATTEND LITTLE THEATRE "The First Mrs. Frazer" is the first production to be presented at the Weber theatre this season. This play will be given October 4, 5 and 6. From past experience the public realizes the value of these presentations. Hence, in order to accommo¬date all those who like to attend, membership cards are now being sold. A card, costing $1.50, entitles the owner to admittance of five plays. A card costing $2.50 gives the indi-vidual the privilege of belonging to the Little Theatre Guild, too. These delightful entertainments are high class and enjoyable. There¬fore, let's attend them. TO "NON-ATHLETE" After reading your statements in regard to football players receiving commissions in R. O. T. C., I decided such an attack merited an answer. Dear Non-Athlete, if you will kindly stop to inquire or ob-serve, you'll find there are only five acting officers who have sufficient initiative, drive and school spirit to try out for the school football team, This is quite a small percentage considering there are 24 officers. And may I point out that there is no reason why football players shouldn't hold the commissions. Students that have the ability to surpass other fellows in various po¬sitions in football develop or already have the spirit of leadership. Also it teaches one to think quickly and logically. And so, Non-Athlete, when you develop sufficient intes¬tinal fortitude to try out for foot¬ball, perhaps, if the fates are very kind, you will receive a commission. I am not a football placer, but I do not begrudge the gridiron as¬pirants their accomplishments.— Esq. CLASS REPORT The Inter Nos club, which was organized last year, was reorganized Monday, September 24, by the mem¬bers of Miss Chesney's fourth-year Latin classes. This club will meet during a class period every three weeks. At this time papers and re¬ports will be given which pertain to the work carried on during class time. Officers for the third period were elected. They are: Imperator, Val Scoville; quaestor, Don Dee Olson; serbia, Jane Davis; censor, Corey Cherrstrom; regina restivitatis, Clara Young.—Marjorie Hatch. FOR READING HISTORY For the benefit of seniors who have such a hard time reading their history, I am stating here a method to learn it. When a reader decides to embark on the reading of his history, he should equip himself with a hatchet, first aid kit (in case he should trip over some difficult name), and sufficient food to last the day. Upon beginning the lesson, the reader should blaze every few words with his axe in order that he may find his way back. It is also wise to sight familiar objects, such as chapter headings. If one becomes lost in the middle of a sentence, the general direction may be determined by the usual moss on the north side of the words. Have no fear of reading too far, for if you do not stop because of weariness, the end of the book may be recognized by the book cover.—Margaret Neal. AN IDEA I've heard of these radiator ro¬mances. The romance, I under¬stood, but, the radiator's use, I could never quite understand. At last I think I have it solved! It must have something to do with the tem-perature. Either the romance warms the radiators (a good thing in cold weather) or, perhaps, the radiator affects the romance. Germs usually grow in heated places. If romance could be compared with germs, I should say that heat should have the same effect on affection as on germs. Ah! There, I have at last a sci¬entific view on this idea called radi¬ator romance. But, perhaps, I'm wrong. Such a problem!—June Streeter. QESTIONS AND ANSWERS What makes dust? A janitor! What supports the love-sick? A radiator! What makes the senior boys hap¬py? Junior girls! What is being found under some noses these days? Mustaches! What draws the money? John's gum and candy! What gives students a stiff neck? A textbook! What keeps Ogden High active? Student bodies!—Black Widow. 2. SCHOOL SEEKS TO CULTIVATE FRIENDSHIPS Get-Acquainted Dance Is Third Event In O.H.S. Series OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Emily Merrill, editor Blaine Larsen, associate editor. At the beginning of each school year, Ogden High school lends three helping hands to her newcomers. They are the big sister party, the water fight (waterless), and the get-acquainted dance. This year the big sister party was a huge success, and the waterless watertight was also one, as it help-ed the ooys to become friendlier with each other. Since the girls know everyone bet¬ter, and the boys have more ac¬quaintances, let us all have one grand night of fun at the get ac¬quainted dance. Girls, do your stuff; boys, get your dates. The dance will be held Friday night at the Berthana.—K. M. SUPPORT SALE To raise much needed funds for the Girls' association, a rummage sale will be held October 13. Stu-dents, let us all support this activ¬ity as we should. All of us have some kind of wearing apparel at home that we aren't using; all of us can cook a delicious pie or cake for the occasion; all of us can bring any ornamental articles or household fixture which could and would bring a desirable price at any auction sale. Hence, let us support the rummage sale wholeheartedly. AN ANNOYANCE My time was limited! I plunged forward, eager to accomplish the task that had been placed before me. I worked quickly, forcing every muscle in my body into a nervous tension. Faster and faster, each min-ute was slipping by in rapid succes¬sion. An imperious black object rose from out of the depths and seemed to drive me from my destination. Frantically I swept it aside and raced on. I exerted one last drop of energy in a final effort. My body weakened. My head began to droop. Again the black obstacle appeared and came straight toward me. I managed to ward it off for a moment, but it overcame my as¬saults and settled upon me. Just then a familiar, but faint, far off voice said' "stop!" I sank back in exhaustion. Before I began to count the words I had typed, you may be assured that I swatted that con¬founded fly!—Elzada Carlson. DON'T YOU AGREE? I think it would be a very excel¬lent plan to publish the cafeteria special each evening. I, for one would like to know of what the next day's menu would consist. Some particularly tempting dish would attract more students to the cafe¬teria. Don't you agree?—E.C. |
