1. PUPILS BEGIN DUTIES OF YEAR Activities Are Resumed By Ogden High School Members OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. With the gay laughter of youth we took leave of our comrades and the year of 1934. As we return to school and to our friends, a new year has dawned. What this new year will bring to us is unknown, and yet perhaps we ourselves can help the year in his duties as the days go tiy. We are the pourers of the liquid of life, and the liquid is poured out for us in the same measure as we pour it out for others. When this year is an old man, and is teaching us in the same manner as 1934 first had done, may you look into your cup containing the precious liquid and discover there has been no bitter dregs to spoil your drink of 1935.— Barbara Clark. VACATION OVER Well, it was fun while it lasted! The vacation is over, and we are back at work again. Besides bringing us many joyous mo ents, the Christmas season brought the Ogden High school's magnificent cantata, and our merry Holly Hop. Both of these events were highly successful. The can-tata, presented by the music depart¬ment, thrilled all who heard it. Mr. Hanson and his music students are to be complimented on their pleas¬ing performances. Climaxing the pre-season enter¬tainment, the Holly Hop attracted a huge number of gay, happy stu-dents. Yes, these events are now just memories, but they are, indeed, hap¬py ones! WELCOME HOME Nearly all of the Ogden High alumni were home to enjoy the Christmas and New Year festivi¬ties—to our pleasure. We missed their enjoyable companionship this year, and we were anxious to see them again, reviving old friendships and gleaning information about their welfare. Alumni, we welcome you home! GREGG ARTISTS In a meeting of Gregg Artists, members of the club heard a talk by Mr. Childs on the history of shorthand. They were told that shorthand is not a modern, newfangled invention, but an ancient art. Shorthand, in a form, was used as early as 200 B. C. by a Roman poet to put down his poems. It was used in the Ro-man empire by all the well educated men and women. It is said that forty stenographers were required daily in the Roman senate. Short¬hand was the secret code by which Julius Caesar and other Roman of¬ficers kept in touch with all prov¬inces. When this art first began there were eleven thousand signs to be learned. Of course this art has been greatly improved by such men as Pittman and Gregg. These are just a few of the points brought out by Mr. Child in his fascinating talk.—Mary Vance, Re-porter. COURTESY The definition of courtesy in the dictionary is politeness, civility, and courtliness, but courtesy has a deep¬er, finer meaning than the defini¬tions just given. It means con¬sideration and thoughtfulness for others, the art of helping those in need, of always being ready to take one's share of the burden of any enterprise, and of always being ready to give a bright smile and a hearty "hello" to the passing world. If one has courtesy, he need never be afraid to face the world, for courtesy is a weapon that will mow down all enemies and gather friends about one.—Barbara Clark. REMARKABLE SAYING Dr. Millikan, who addressed us this morning, is credited with hav¬ing said recently, "More courtesy and politeness has been developed in the modern gas stations than has been taught in all the colleges." The remark strikes us as containing much truth and food for thought. ALL NOW UNIFORMED The final shipment of R. O. T. C. uniforms has arrived and all boys in the unit are now being uni¬formed. 2. GIRLS TO SHOW BOYS TIME AT O.H.S. ACCOLADE Now Time To Get Date As Big Event Only Three Weeks Off OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The splendor and gayety of the holidays fades away, but ahead looms an event which is to be even grander and gayer. The Accolade! Yes, it has been proved again and again that this is a woman's world, and when our girls enter into a thing we know it's going to be a suc¬cess. With Lois, Dorothy, and Darhle as leaders, the Girl's association plans to show the opposite sex just what is meant by a "swell time." And say, if you haven't your date, young man, you had best be exceptionally nice to that sweet little thing, for it's only three weeks off!—Winnie Winchell. SCIENTIST VISITS Ogden High school was extremely fortunate on Thursday to have as a speaker Dr. Robert Millikan, one of the world's most noted scientists. Dr. Millikan is associated with the Cali¬fornia Institute of Technology at Pasadena and recently won the Nobel prize in science. Being on his way to Salt Lake City, Dr. Millikan consented to stop in Ogden and address our student body. Included in his speech was much well-given advice concerning the choosing of a life vocation and the necessity of training in science for this complex age. He also stressed the fact that we should think our everyday problems out clearly and concisely. The Ogden High school is grateful to Superintendent Hopkins for ob¬taining the services of the noted Dr. Millikan. BASKETBALL GAME Ogden High school's basketball team is scheduled to play Box Elder's team tonight at seven-thirty in the Weber gymnasium. All be there! DETERMINATION Jan. 3, well, here we are back in school again, and what have we ac¬complished in vacation? I'll bet a plugged shilling not a darned thing. I know that way back in the "dear dead days beyond recall" about 5 B. V. D. (Before Vacation Days), when I thought that I was too busy to write, I firmly resolved to write articles enough during vacation to flood the "Notes," but — school is here and the articles aren't. In fact, all I have done during vacation is sleep, eat, and sleep, with the result, that, I did not even bothered to make | resolutions to break about the 5th. However, I have one resolution, a resolution to end resolutions: I firm¬ly resolve to abstain during the year 1935 from making resolutions. — Percival ZETA PHI XI Zeta Phi Xi recently held its seri¬ous initiation at the home of Bertha Barker. Pledge days are over for seven lucky girls, and they are now full fledged members of Zeta. After the ceremony, dinner was served, white roses and white tapers being the only decorations. The seven new members are: Helen Ruud, Lerene Wallace, Helen Abbott, Helen Johnson, Evelyn Buehler, Beth Browning, and Ger¬trude Eliason. However, to fill the places of these girls as pledges, Josephine Stone, Bette Herrington, and Sally Humphris have been asked to wear the Zeta pledge locket. We congratulate the new members and pledges and wish them all the success possible in carrying on their work.—Zeta Reporter. BETA ZETA TAU The club of Beta Zeta Tau has some new pledges. They are Georgietta Siddoway, Maude Mattson, Phyllis Myres, and Elaine Jones. These girls with the assistance of ten members prepared a Christmas basket which was delivered Christ¬mas morning. This happened in December. Also in the same month Mrs. Norma S. Evans, who is prominent in artistic society, gave a delightful talk with illustrations to the clubs of Phi Lambda Tau and Zeta Phi Xi. These clubs were the guests of Beta Zeta Tau — Club Reporter, Alliene Sampson. CARPE DIEM HELPS Every year since the organization of Carpe Diem it has been the cus¬tom at Christmas time for the club to aid those less fortunate. This year Carpe Diem made a number of scrap books which were distributed in various homes where there were small children. A huge basket con¬taining food supplies was also de¬livered to a home.
