Word has come from the R. O. T. C. office that inspection will be held May 10. This means that an army representatives will inspect the four companies for neatness knowledge of the R. O. T. C. manual, and squad, platoon, and company drill movements. No competition between platoons or companies will be held on this day. For a great many years Ogden High school has been selected as an honor school in R. O. T. C. The support of the entire student body is necessary to insure a repetition of this high ranking this year. BOXING CARD TONIGHT Boxing fans of the school and Og¬den in general will be pleased to learn that a fancy boxing card has been arranged for tonight in our gym at seven-thirty o'clock. Among the performers will be such capable pugilists as Jack Doone, Hal Peter¬son, Dan Milligan and many others. Tonight's event will probably be the last of a series of smokeless smokers conducted at our school this year. All who have attended these contests have thoroughly enjoyed them. Come out and see the last smoke¬less smoker! OPPORTUNITIES KNOCK Recently, several contests have been held wherein young, aspiring journalists have had ample oppor-tunity to display their literary tal¬ent. Prizes and honors have been given to those fortunate enough to win recognition. The others have benefited, as they derived valuable experience for their future vocation. Again there is opportunity for student writers to acquire technique and experience. A national better housing contest is open to all high school students. Think of it! One thousand dollars will be awarded to the first winner; five hundred dol¬lars to the second; two hundred and fifty to the third; and one hundred dollars to the fourth. This is a chance of a lifetime, students. Grasp it. ANOTHER TERM ENDED Another six weeks has just rolled by. never to return. In that time students of Ogden High school have fdded a little more to their general fund of knowledge. How much they have assimilated has depended upon the efforts they have exerted in the oast few weeks. A few holidays and the spring vacation have interrupt¬ed the regularity of school routine but have given the students opporv'ties to make up delinquent work. This afternoon report cards, re¬cording each one's grades, were is¬sued to every student at high school. May everyone do better the last six weeks!

For nigh on to 40 years the junior class of Ogden High school has been holding class meetings. Last eve-ning another of these pow wows was held for the purpose of making the junior prom a huge success. This meeting was probably the most poorly attended in all the 40 years —about 50 out of some 500 juniors in our school thought it worth their while to come. Our principal, Mr. Merrill, voiced his opinion to the effect that if the juniors could not support a class meeting, surely they could not support a dance. Juniors, are we going to flop? Have we, as Mr. Merrill says, no spirit? Let no such propaganda be even whis¬pered! However, words will not win the battle. We must shine forth in all the glory, as the junior class of 1934-35 and prove our loyalty by attending the junior prom 100 per cent. A committee, consisting of Edna Riley, Bill Kinard, Chuck Wood¬cock, Barbara Bingham, Mary Soderberg and Verlain Hinley, was ap¬pointed by President Bob Becker to plan the decorations and re¬freshments. It was decided that 40c is plenty for the price of admission and that if a person has nerve enough to come stag he is to pay 75c. —Busybody. HONORS IN ART Miss Veda Brough received first mention and honor of the Stationers corporation of Los Angeles as be-ing the most talented student il¬lustrator of figures out of all the art schools of Los Angeles. The best work of the schools' most tal¬ented students was on exhibition. Lee K. Parkinson, formerly of Ogden, and student of LeConte Stewart of Ogden High school was declared outstanding and accomplished as he put on exhibition his landscape paintings in the window of the Stationers corporation. These paintings will be on exhibition in Ogden in the near future, in the High school art room. Miss Brough is a student of Lipson's art school of Los Angeles and will return to Ogden next month. PROVO LULLABY Doggone, there's that man, I mean that lump, again. What is the darned thing, anyhow? I thought these were mattresses, not sacks of hay. I'm not hitting the hay, it's hitting me; hay! It must be straw, it makes harder lumps, and besides if it were hay it would tickle more —maybe. I see the brute out there. I know's he's going to come right over here; maybe I'm snoring loud¬er than he was. Here he comes, be polue new; take it easy; maybe he just wants to see if you're covered. There he goes, politely coughing to attract attention. I'll cough, too; I'll have him a contest, but I'd sneeze, account of the straw, too many things on the account, my account. Don't listen; maybe he'll let you sleep. No, I was afraid of that. That's his foot, prodding you. What does he think you are, any¬how; am I mouse or cheese? I know he wants me to march some more, but why try? I'll never be able to. Can't get my shoes on now, feet hurt too much. Couldn't even dance at all. What does he think he is?; he's just a drum ma¬jor. Now he's pulling the blanket away. That's too much, and en¬ough is enough; there's his leg; why bother with all this? Takes too much time; must come anyhow. Why not get there now—where I can sleep? Not far, already in Provo.—Wayne Bundy. |
