FOR YOU Being once an aspiring journalist, in the remote past, and appreciating the turbulent nights I so frequently tossed through, I do do humbly submit these few reflections as an alumni of however unsavory standing, on the North Cache-Ogden game. Gone are the days of dear old Ah-Ah-E-O, with its staccato in¬cantations reverberating with gusto. Who remembers the Ogden High-Minersville game at the state tourney where Bill Kinner was yet an unknown as a basketball lumi¬nary; the Weber-Ogden game, 29 to 28 for the Tigers, Ogden losing to Davis? Oh yes, my friends, this was in the good old days—in a three- period thriller. Jack Harbertson's last minute overhead one-hand that spelled defeat for Weber on an¬other occasion on the Warriors' court; Dribbling Doc Stone's capers; and the year the team had the mumps—particularly Slim Hales. Ah me—in sane mind.—An Alumni. THE SMITHS Did you ever stop to count the Smiths that attend Ogden High school? No? Well, neither have I, but it is certain the name of Smith isn't getting dragged in the mud this year. Think of it. At least two Smiths are taking part in every outstanding activity of the year. There are four Smiths serving as teachers; there were two in the school play; two are on the debating team; two other Smiths are taking part in the opera; a couple more are cadet officers; and the Forum club is alive with them. To mention all the activities in which the Smiths are represented would be the same as making a list of the school's activities, and there is hardly room for this . To all the Smiths of O. H. S. this article is affectionately dedicated. CONFESSIONS OF PENCIL My sides were so bright and shiny and oh, my rubber head was in¬comparable! It could stretch a con-venient length to see the gum flirt with the peppermint sticks. But alas! One day a city sheik came into the store and purchased me for the ridiculously low price of a dime. For two hours I was pleasantly, yet amazingly, shocked by reading , Mae West love notes in a stuffed pocket. To think that the pupply love germ could invade the hearts of high school students was nearly unbelievable, (tsch, tsch). "Dear John," one of them read, "why don't you come up sometime? My eyes are really a baby-blue when you look at them closely and I'm wearing that 'Evening in Paris' per¬fume now. You know, the kind they advertise over the radio as being subtle, alluring and romantic." But in the midst of my snooping I was jerked in a most undignified way by the big, handsome brute and put to work by wiggling and rolling my shapely sides around on a piece of paper. I looked down at my pointed foot in surprise to find I was making queer marks all over the page, which were supposed to represent an English assignment. Ah me, so that was my mission in life! For weeks I have toiled diligently doing the hula hula dance until I have shrunk into a stub. But heaven is near, for I'll soon be thrown into discard to wonder when the moon will turn into green chee . 9. FESTIVAL WILL BE GIVEN TWO DAYS lN APRIL College Urged To Contact Music Pupils of Region OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor: Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor It is now definitely decided that Ogden will have the Region 1 mus¬ical festival April 12, 13. The affair has received financial endorsement of the chamber of commerce, and will probably be sponsored by Weber college. Local people feel that it would be well worth while for Weber college authorities to con¬tact all music pupils of the region. It will be a great show. INTERESTING CLASSES The civics classes of Mr. Hansen are discussing at the present time a topic concerning congress in ac-tion. Much interesting material is presented to the class for study and comment. Mr. Hansen, for instance sent to Washington, D. C. for a number of official copies of the hap¬penings in congress day by day, the substance of which makes the book subjects much more enjoyable. As the purpose of all civics courses is to educate the Amer¬ican citizen to the functions of his government, we should gain much through our study of civics. A SUGGESTION Can anyone answer the question of why every speaker that we have has to tell a story before he begins his talk? The assembly hall was packed and I am sure that everyone enjoyed the speech. The piece play¬ed by Mr. Hanson was excellent and was enjoyed; we should have him play more. The speech was also very interesting and the speaker practically had the assembly charm¬ed. You know, if any one of us stopped to think that Tuesday was Lincoln's birthday, they should at least receive honorable mention. Well, here's hoping that the next speaker tells his story later in his speech.—LeRoy Hart. THE BAND PLAYS Tomorrow the Ogden High school band will lead the procession in Ogden's welcome and entertainment of the CCC boys of the district. We believe Ogden will do herself credit in showing the boys a good time. We are happy to do our part in ex¬tending welcome. TALENT PLENTIFUL We gain more proof every day we have a great many talented students in the school who do not display their talent to the public. We main¬tain that students with ability should contribute to all kinds of school activity. Following is a splen¬did bit of philosophy created by Dan Alsup: "Drop not the anchor of temptation For it will lodge among the rocks of wrong." People with some talent should be encouraged and invited to do more, more within the school such as giving their thoughts for pub¬lication in the notes. OPERA AT ORPHEUM It looks very much at this time tes if the school opera will be pre¬sented this year at the Orpheum theatre. It is the intention of those who have it in charge to give the Sbpera the prominence it deserves as one of the grand local musical fetes of the year. Our music department has reached a new high level and it is time the public became aware of the fine work that is being done here. It is just too bad that more of Ogden people did not enjoy that marvelous Christmas program that the school gave. Let's have all the people out to our opera. POETS ABUNDANT Ogden High school is abundant with talented poets, some of whom have the ability of making names for themselves in the poetic field. The following fantasia is only a sample of the creative work pro¬duced in our school: A rustic bridge at twilight, the river runs below The cottonwoods now shimmer—on banks the clovers grow; The dusty road is cool now, the sun is down, 'tis night A crooked road for miles ahead, to left and then to right. The owl there in the oak tree, now hoots his sad farewell; The priest now chants his song and prayer And rings a rusty bell. The town is wrapped in darkness, The park is empty too The trees are filled with night birds The roses drip with dew. Tall palms with green fronds wav¬ing, The coo of nesting dove— A Spaniard with his mandolin, To serenade his love. An interlude of silence, The night wind cool and sweet, The cacti of the desert — casts shadows at our feet. The moon rides high in heaven, The silver stars hang low A faint wind, wakes the sleeping world. 'Tis dawn in Mexico.—Marguerite Pratt. RADIO PROGRAMS "Tiger Flashes," high school's radio program, has been length¬ened to a half hour. Now the pre-sentation will begin at seven forty- five and will continue until eight- fifteen every Thursday evening. Singers, pianists, dramatists, vio¬lin players, saxophone players, cor¬net players—all are to be heard over "Tiger Flashes." The best of talent is needed to produce these radio presentations so that the pub¬lic may realize the representative talent Ogden High school offers. Students, "Tiger Flashes" is your program. If you are talented in any line, arrange to be on the radio program. Your willingness to dis¬play your ability will be very much appreciated by those in charge, and your selections rendered will be en-joyed by those tuning in to KLO at the time of the broadcast. Don't forget to listen to "Tiger Flashes" presented over the air to¬night.
