Show PUPILS FEEL GRATEFUL TO OGDEN PEOPLE Future Students of New Building Urged To Show Appreciation OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The hope of a full 26 years was realized by the senior students of Ogden on Tuesday as the taxpayers voted their approval of a modern high school building in the bond election. Returns indicated nearly all citizens of Ogden were for a high school building representative of the growth of our city. The graduating seniors of this year have no personal reasons for a new building. However, having attended school for two years in the present building, they, more than any other group, realize the true necessity for the action that has taken place. They are happy that in 1936 the students of Ogden High school will be housed in a structure that will not be best known for its warped floor, its! dark, crowded halls, its poor audi¬torium, and its dilapidated class¬room equipment. All in all, the students of Ogden High school at the present time rejoice with those pupils who will have occasion to attend Ogden High school in the future at the decision made by the taxpayers a few days ago. We feel the citizens acted in the interest of education and in the interest of the future of Ogden. Future students of this school, the debt you owe the board of edu¬cation and the people of Ogden pan best be repaid by consistent effort on your part to preserve and have respect for the new building, by am¬bition to take part in the welfare of this city, by partaking fully of the education that will be made avail¬able to you through your teachers and school officials, and by striv¬ing, in the end, to make yourselves good citizens!—Dick Baxter, Bertha Barker, Blaine Larson. LETTER RECEIVED Scholastic magazine from its edi¬torial offices in New York City has sent a letter to Mr. W. R. Thornley, Ogden High school, saying: "We were very pleased to receive the splendid history of your school. "The decision of the judges will be announced in the first issue of Scholastic next September. "May we have permission to hold this history for a period of a year in order to include it within a trav-eling exhibit? "When the exhibit is closed, the history will be returned to you ex¬press collect, unless you have indi-cated otherwise. "The organization which is re¬sponsible for the collection of the schol history is to be complimented on its splendid work." THREE ACCEPTED Once again Zeta Phi Xi held a serious initiation and took into its midst three lovely girls, Josephine Stone, Betty Herrington, and Sally Humphries. Zeta Phi Xi is very proud of these girls and we wish them all the luck and success in furthering the stand¬ards of Zeta Phi Xi for the coming.—Zeta reporter. DOWN THROUGH YEARS Down through the years we must go, Pacing the world harsh and cold, Giving what we only know Learned in those school days of old. Time, be it swift, still endears The past, though age seems to creep; In truth, our hearts always keep Memories, down through the years. Scattered afar through this world Some day we'll turn our hearts back, Then, see that banner unfurled: Ogden's old Orange and Black . .. Blending our hopes with our fears, Our paths may cross once again; While Pate plays dice with her men Sending us down through the years. —Elizabeth Parkinson. |
