Show 8. CADETS WILL BEGIN ANNUAL COMPETITION Companies and Platoons Will Enter Series of Contests OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Last Friday was an important day for the R. O. T. C. unit at Ogden High. After marching in the huge Loyalty day parade through the business district, the cadets went to tabernacle park, where the annual inspection was held. A large crowd was in attendance and enjoyed the movements of the unit. From all reports, the inspecting officer also was impressed with the actions of "our army." On Wednesday and Thursday of this week the company and platoon competition will be held. Each year, company is pitted against company and platoon against platoon in the interesting contest that answers the all-important question: Which com¬pany and which platoon is the best in the unit? This year, as always, all of the companies have engaged in exten¬sive training, the reason for Ogden High's continued success in R. O. T. C. work. Much fine ability in leadership and discipline will be un-covered on Wednesday and Thurs¬day. NEW EDITORS. Council has appointed students who will act as the heads of the school publications next school year. Beverly Betts was chosen editor of the year book. This year Beverly has worked splendidly under Ruth Lavin Cragun and she should be able to copy a great many of the fine traits of Ruth Lavin. This fact alone would make Beverly a fine editor. Wayne Bundy, that well- known violinist (?), was made editor of this column. "What these notes need"—we will discuss that matter at a future date! Acting under the influence of Frantzen Todd, council approved Eddie Sasaki as athletic manager for 1935-36. More and more the seniors notice the fact that juniors are taking their places! What is the cause of that? Must be graduation! CITY OFFICIALS. The citizens of Ogden were amazed Friday to learn that the city commissioners had, at a meet¬ing of the board, approved the city manager form of government, vowed to "clean up" Twenty-fifth street, voted new support to all branches of the government, and elected to do a great many im-probable, if not impossible, things. Also the city judge had nerve enough to ask the commissioners to place a stop sign on a national high-way so that his canine friends could cross the road in leisure! Such nerve! Don't worry, folks! Mayor Alsup and Commissioner Smith and Larsen were asked to resign after the board meeting! So Ogden is a safe place in which to live again! JUNIOR PROM. The juniors extended to the sen¬iors their official congratulations and hopes for success Thursday night as the junior prom was held in the Berthana. This dance, making the end of the student body social year, (the senior reception is for seniors only) was an undoubted success. The juniors proved themselves to be hosts of no mean quality. The warm friendship shown will live in the memories of the graduating seniors. Thanks, juniors! STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC. O. H. S. students are very en¬thusiastic over the possibility of ob¬taining a new high school. This column has earnestly, continuously clamored for a new building during the past 10 years and it begins to look as if our fondest hopes are about to be realized. Although we shall not be here to enjoy it we shall be most happy to know that our successors shall not be handicapped as we have been. We are promoting a big PTA meeting here Wednesday night at seven-thirty o'clock. Surely we shall see to it that our parents are all at this meeting. 9. MEETING WILL BE DEVOTED TO BOND PROPOSAL Parent-Teacher Branch Will Convene Tonight In School OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar- sen, Associate Editor. What's this I hear? A new high school? Swell, when? And you don't know that. I guess maybe it will be good news to all high school stu¬dents so it can be passed on. Yes, sir, a new high school, with 65 class rooms, an auditorium, a marvelous gymnasium and tile floors. That is just fine. It is go¬ing to be ready for use in 1936 if one little thing happens; if the peo¬ple vote the bonds. That is why there is a Parent-Teacher associa¬tion meeting in the high school to¬night—to talk about the bonds for a new building. What if it won't be ready for use until '36?, The juniors of this year will have the honor of being the last class to graduate from the old high school building that so many oth¬er people have received diplomas from. And, anyway, we can visit it after it is finished to see what im¬provements have been made since this school came into the world.— Ruby Fronk. FORUM Some events occur once a year, or at some other regular intervals, until we become accustomed to looking forward to them. Examples: Boy's day, Graduation day, etc. One of the very large and elite events of the year is about to rear its head in our midst. This is the annual outing of the Forum club. Once a year the Forum forgets its sedate and solemn ap-pearance to join in the fivolity of humankind. This spectacular event will take place on or about Friday, May 31. Of course it is an honor and a privilege to take part in this fiesta. In order that everyone may be con-sidered and no one left out, mem¬bers of the illustrious fraternity are going to give serious consideration to their companions. Therefore, in order to avoid the rush, we invite all girls to get then bids in early. You will receive prompt action by giving your bids to Blaine Larsen or Conrad Smith, (date committee) who will see that you receive every consideration. — A Member. Editor's note: The Notes feels sorry for that date committee. What a job they will have. Imagine coax-ing girls to be seen in public with those "dopes" in Forum. The date committee will have to use more methods on the fair sex than their powers of speech. We suggest to Larsen and C. Smith that they use money, fraud and duress in their attempts to coax girls to go to the outing with such mugs as Pacho, Chatten and Alsup. GIRLS' ELECTION Another school organization, the Girls' association, is conducting this week its election of officers to re-place Lois Ensign, Dorothy Hall and Darhle Jones. It is the general opinion of girls in the school that the association is responsible for much of the girls' activity that has occurred during the course of the year. It is, there¬fore, necessary that a capable group of officers be elected to continue the encouraging assistance that the Girls' association has given the hun¬dreds of the feminine sex in our school. MUCH ACTIVITY It is surprising to note the amount of activity that is to occur between now and graduation. That all of it will be accomplished in the three short weeks remaining seems impossible. However, problems such as this one have a habit of solving themselves. Many lessons are the biggest worry on the minds of ie seniors. It seems that the more we do the more we are given. Oh, well, in a few weeks our worries will be over. (We hope). |
