Show 1. TIME ARRIVES FOR RALLY IN BRAIN ENERGY Term End Draws Near and Grades Will Soon Be Recorded OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor Now is the time for Ogden High school to generate all potential energy into full bloom. Our teachers have awaited the chance to surprise us this week with final examinations. Since today ends the six week's term, we need a last minute over-supply of energy to put that "artistic touch" in our papers and leave a favorable im¬print on the teachers, especially when they record the grades on our cards. We can easily see how worried the seniors are to influence the opinions of teachers. They naturally want to graduate, and they remember that there is still two more terms be¬fore school terminates. Then, too, they have to set an example for the juniors. The juniors, in turn, remember that they will have to grace the high school halls next year, so they desire to leave a slight impression on their instructors. But such thinking apparently has net started us to action as yet, for we are all sleeping in our seats. Wake up. Wake up. Our good in¬tentions will drift into space unless we immediately wake up. OGDEN-WEBER Tonight, students, will be played that long awaited game with Weber County High. This event is made even more important because the championship of the northern di¬vision basketball race is to be de-cided by these two fine teams as they take the floor at the Weber college gym at seven o'clock. If defeated, the Tigers will be obliged to meet Weber High again to determine the league champion-ship. By defeating Weber, Ogden will maintain her string of ten vic¬tories and no defeats in the current season. So you see, students, it is a big task the Tigers face tonight. They need the support of the student body. Will we be on hand to assist in our small way the team in theii quest of the division title? You bei we will. OUR OPERA It is the duty of every student in Ogden High school to be opera con¬scious this year. The opera has never been a paying proposition since way back in the dim, dead past when it was presented at the Orpheum theatre. If we ever expect to put our musical productions back into this theatre we must make this opera pay. This is one of the finest operas ever attempted by high school stu¬dents. It is delightfully witty and entertaining, but still it retains a dramatic plot. The musical scores alone are well worth twenty-five cents in anyone's money. Let us take it upon ourselves, students, to fill the South Wash¬ington auditorium so full that the opera will have to run at least three nights. Let's make such a nice, big profit that next year our principal will be ashamed to suggest any place but the Orpheum theatre for the Ogden High school opera. —Alice Starr. JOAN OF THE NANCY LEE They call it "Joan of the Nancy Lee"— A tale of gay life and love at sea; The tunes will be many and merry in part, And some will be stirring and touch every heai;t. Enchanting their hearers who follow along, Each chorus in beauty will carol its song; A glorious evening for you and me The night of "Joan of the Nancy Lee." —Elizabeth Parkinson. FREE KNOWLEDGE Eleven things every young man should know—revised and enlarged. Salutations, my young friends. It is your counsellor, Bein Ali, who speaks. I, the sage of the desert, am going to lay down eleven rules for the betterment of the youths of Og¬den High school. Absence makes the heart grow fonder—of the opposition. Remember, the lowest form of insect life is the lounge lizard. It isn't what you say, it's how you say it. Don't let it worry you if your rival is much more handsome, witty and talented than you. Do like Ab¬raham Lincoln. Get a new girl. Don't wait for atmosphere, make it. Do not linger when her father puts the cat out. Don't be deterred by sales re¬sistance. If you can't think of a good alibi, don't say anything. Actions speak louder than words, but a remark on beauty never hurt anyone's chances. Never take these pained ex¬pressions for looks of love; it may be only a pin sticking her. Nothing comes to those who wait but old age and jealousy. And this above all, to but one girl be true and it will follow as the night the day. You will keep your life, health and social standing. Now, my children, abide by me and may Allah be with you.—Signed, Ben Ali, the Seer. 2. CLASSICALIA WILL RESEMBLE SOUTHERN FETE Costume Event of School Provides Romance and Rhythm OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. Romance, beautiful music, rhythm ' and color! All these are in store for the Ogden High school student who attends the Classicalia March 29. The Classicalia is the great event of the social season of the school. This year it promises to be more en¬joyable and more thrilling than ever before. The Mardi Gras is going to be transplanted from gay New Or¬leans to one of our own dance halls in Ogden. Imagine! For one night you may be anyone you want to be. Instead of being plain John Brown, or freckled Mary Smith, you can be the mighty Napoleon or glamourous Nell Gwyn. Imagine yourself in a brilliantly lighted ballroom full of colorful fig¬ures. In your arms is saucy Colum¬bine or, perhaps, a lovely southern belle, or you are dancing with a beruffled Pierrot or a dashing northern soldier of the Civil war. Your heart is beating rather fast, and the cause is not entirely because of the music. You are whirling, turning and your pulse is far from normal. The room is filled with youth, gaiety and thousand different hues from so many sparkling costumes of your fellow classmates. Fellow students, do you honestly believe you can afford to miss such a gala affair? Of course you don't! So get your dates early and let me see you all March 29 at the Classi¬calia, Ogden High's Mardi Gras.— Barbara Clark. |
