Show SPEAK WITH EASE Hi, there! You can add to your intelligence by visiting Miss Woolley's Speak With Ease club. Meet¬ings are held the fourth period—a convenient time. Who was the first man created? Who created the world and man? The answers were uncovered in the research work on mythology of the Greeks, Romans, Japanese, Indians, Hindus, and the South Sea island¬ers. How do you pronounce "naive"? The members know, for they have just studied diacritical marks. These lucky students are looking forward to the interpretations of that roguish little fellow, Penrod. The present officers are: Bever¬ly Betts, Delmar Young, Marjorie Hatch, Elzada Carlson and Joanne Smith.—Reporter. A. D. M. REPORT Amigos Del Mundos, travel club of Ogden High, has made considerable progress during the first se-mester of the school year. Mem¬bers of this club have learned a great deal, about the customs and lands of foreign people. Winners of the scholastic cup, awarded during the past two years, are striving to gain it a third time, which occur¬rence would mean permanent pos¬session. The girls have maintained an "A" average thus far and ex¬pect to obtain an "A" average before the end of the year. In sports, A. D. M. won the sportsmanship cup last year, and is making an attempt to regain it. In the only two inter-club tournaments that have taken place this year, the club has been successful in annexing both cham-pionships—those of volleyball and serviceball. With such a past record and pos¬sible future record, Amigos Del Mundos is forging ahead and gain¬ing honors. The moon lies sleeping On a cloud of black down; Overcome by drowsiness She slips softly further into her pillow, Until the feathery midnight Flies up around And envelopes her. Valine Checketts. NEW OFFICERS OF S. O. S. The middle of the year has rolled around, and once again the good ship S. O. S. has been placed under the command of new officers. At the beginning of each 18-week cruise the outstanding members of the crew are advanced to the highest rank that S. O. S. can bestow upon them. For this voyage the crew feels sure that it could be placed under no better command than that given by Commodore Jack Doone, Admiral John Volker, and Captain Max Carruth. When the harbor is reached at the end of May, we hope that these new officers have a record as ad-mirable as that of the retiring of¬ficers, and we wish them luck in overcoming all obstacles that may confront the advancement of S. O. S. —The Bugler. A CONTRADICTION People who affect intelligence by adopting an overgrown vocabulary have always invoked by intense dis¬gust. As far as I am concerned, the content of an individual's conver¬sation is of more importance than the way in which it is decorated and dished up with flowery, seldom- used words. A person's speech should reveal a goodly portion of his character, and most antagoniz¬ing indeed is he who lacks character and attempts to prevent its revela¬tion by hiding behind a mask of words—a veritable dictionary.—Barbara Taylor. FAMOUS CONTENTIONS Upon learning that the United States intends to build a huge navy, Stratford Smith maintains that a good navy can be used as a back¬ground for the movies and to do stunts in news reels. Paul Packer observes that one way to reduce motor accidents is to build cars so that they can't go any faster than the average driver thinks. Beth Spencer says she simply can't fathom what this unemploy¬ment insurance is about. She says in her family everybody's sure enough about it without taking out insurance on it! If the government is going to start old age pensions, we suggest it put the radio jokes at the head of the lists.—Selected. 17. BACKING ASKED IN PREPARATION FOR FESTIVAL School Musicians of North Utah Will Compete In April OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. Representatives of Ogden, Weber county, Box Elder county, Logan city, Cache county and Rich county High schools recently elected the Ogden High school principal, Mr. Merrill, as chairman of the regional spring music festival. The purpose of this festival is to encourage music of all sorts and to demonstrate before the people just what is being done in the schools. The festival will attract about a dozen bands, half a dozen orchestras numerous choruses, boys' girls' and mixed and vocal and instrumental solo and duet entrants. The festival last year was held in Brigham City, and it was a big suc¬cess. Both the Brigham City and Logan representatives were eager to have it held in their cities this year, but it was decided Ogden was the city that should be given the honor. Mr. Merrill has already writ¬ten to the chamber of commerce, asking support for this festival, set for April 12 and 13. Let's hope the chamber of commerce will give fa¬vorable response, so that Ogden may benefit by such a progressive move¬ment—Barbara Clark. SUPPORT CAFETERIA A very able organiation within our school that is worthy of student support is our cafeteria. The very best foods are served in regard to constituents and quantity. Prices are very moderate; the place con-venient. Students, let's rally to the call; let's support the cafeteria. The menu for this Monday is in¬deed excellent: Soup, lima bean; sandwiches, minced ham; entres, Swiss steak, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots. Salads, orange, apple, raisins, string beans, egg, cabbage, pineap¬ple. Desserts, blackberry pie, prune whip, sundaes. Each dish is priced at five cents. TO A SKIER Oh haven't you a care When you're sailing down the hill? When you take off through the air Does your fearless heart stand still? So far above the world of snow, A silhouette against the sky; Do you forget the earth below Those seconds you are flying high? —Elizabeth Parkinson. NOTICE Tiger Flashes will be broadcast this evening over KLO from seven- forty-five until eight-fifteen. PRESTON-OGDEN The Ogden Tigers Tuesday took one non-decisive step in the north¬ern division basketball race as they defeated Preston 44-29. The game was played in the Weber gymnas¬ium and attracted a large crowd. After a rather close first quarter, the Tigers were never headed by the Preston quintet. In the first game, the Ogden sec¬ond team defeated Central, league leaders in the junior high divisions. BETA ZETA TAU Art exhibit is the word that you have been hearing for the last week. Students, this art exhibit is still here; beautiful etchings and block prints. Do not miss this chance of a lifetime; the pictures are on ex-hibit in the art room. It is not yet too late, because the exhibit will be here until Friday. The exhibit is being sponsored by the club of Beta Zeta Tau.—Alliene Sampson. THE STAR SYSTEM Competition, as all people know, is one of the greatest incentives that one may enjoy. Acknowledging this fact, Mrs. Franke has a system which incites keener interest and enthusiasm in typing. That method is having a chart recording every student's work by means of orange, green, blue, red, silver, gold and black stars glued on the cardboard, each star denoting how many words can be typed a minute during Wed¬nesday's test, As the typists glance from the work, the glittering star-like faces placed in front of the room shine against the blue background, and the varied colors strikingly contrast each student's work. Immediately a desire fills the individual to acquire the highest degree of perfection within his ability. As a result bet¬ter work is obtained from all of the persons within the classes. As long as this chart is in sight, every one will continue to produce his best efforts. This way of arous¬ing zeal is in comparable to any other device used in any other class for the same purpose. May it continue. |
