Show feathered fowl their next task is to see that the world series meets with no mishaps over the radio and playograph. Absence or tardi¬ness in fifth period classes may therefore be attributed to this ac¬count. If Mr. Smith can rake up a few "B" batteries he also will af¬ford first hand information for the students in his chemistry class. HOME ECONOMICS HIKE As guests of Miss Corless and Miss Mealif, the girls of the home economics classes left the school about eight last night for a hike (and all that goes with it) to Tay¬lor's canyon. They discussed their club constitution and a program of events for the coming year. FORUM When Forum met in room 306-A Monday night, the turnout of would-be arguers was so large that the club members decided to dis¬miss the customary debaters among the aspirants and substitute five minute constructive speeches on the question, "Resolved: That, club presidents and managers of the school publications be denied a vote in the student body council." These speeches are to be conducted in a strictly competitive manner. In the debate of the evening Henry Aiken and Ben Cartwright downed Charles Dunn on the ques¬tion, "Resolved: That the United States should adopt the metric sys¬tem." The victors uphekl the neg¬ative. Smart juniors, huh! Bill Reeder and George Fowler were admitted to club membership Congratulations, boys. T. J. REACHES JAPAN Even the school people of Japan know what a fine high school we have at Ogden, as evidenced by a letter received from the prin¬cipal of a secondary school in Japan, who asks that we receive one of his graduates in our school. The young man comes highly rec¬ommended, and has nad seven hours per week instruction in Eng¬lish during the past five jears at school. COUNCIL MEETING Regular council meeting was- called to order by President Corry. The roll was called and the min¬utes were read and approved.

(Rex Greaves, Editor pro tem ) STELLAE ALUMNI, ATTENTION Stellae is planning her first party, a treasure hunt followed by dancing at the Berthana and then refreshments at Lois Chambers' home. All club alumni are invited to meet at Warren's at 7:30 o'clock Saturday. ALUMNI AT WEBER When the roll was called at We¬ber college at the beginning of the present school year, it was revealed that Ogden high had contributed a generous percentage of the fresh¬man class. The alumni of '28 who have decided to further their edu¬cation at the home institution number between 90 and 100. This is encouraging to the college offiicals and it speaks well of' the high standard of study that is offered there. PHI LAMBDA TAU Watch out, everybody! One of our girls may be using you as a target. Perhaps I had better ex¬plain. The girls of Phi Lambda Tau have decided to take up rifle shooting as the principal feature of the club this year; moreover, we expect to produce one of the finest girl rifle squads in the country. To aid us in this worthy pastime we have as our advisers, Miss Ray¬mond and Mr. Hyde. Officers of this club are: President, Virginia Keating; vice president, Conna Cluff; secretary, Norma James; treasurer, Marian Clark; reporter, Melba White; sports committee chairman, Florence Lusty; social chairman, Lorna Martin. These officers and the rest of the club are some of the peppiest girls to be found. Just follow us and see! MELBA WHITE, Reporter. I WANNAN O Certainly we want to know. The I Wannan O was one of the first clubs to start the season and we have already had four weekly meetings. Maybe you don't think I Wannan O's are good hosts. Ask the boys. One thing we are certain of la that there is no club with higher ideals. Ideals are fine. Many clubs have plenty of them, but the proof comes in the materializing of them. Here's where you can see the real living up to idealistic standards. Taking into considera¬tion the membership, adviser and fine spirit prevailing in this organ¬ization, there is absolutely no lim¬it to its achievement. As it is con¬sidered better to boast over accomplishment rather than prospect we will wait until some one else feels inspired to hand the bouquets. Do you Wannan O? GIRLS' NIGHT Say girls, more fun is in store for you. Tonight comes the Girls' association party for the new mem¬bers and whether or not you've got a big sister, juniors, come! You'll have great sport, we guarantee. Hurry now, and get decked out in a clever costume, because you'll be rewarded if you wear it well, and join us in our annual frolic up in the gym at High tonight at 8 o'clock. SENIOR MEETING President Sampson called the senior meeting to order at 3:30 o'clock in 218. Following a short discussion on rings and pins, motion was passed that the individual be given his choice. A committee of three, Charles Dunn, Margaret Ellingson and Tillman Johnson, was ap¬pointed to confer with the jeweler and determine the prices of each. Lyzena Payne and Jack Norback were elected by a class vote as senior class reporters for the Quar¬terly. Following a lengthy discussion about a senior class gift to the school, the meeting adjourned. CONGRESS Congress has started off this year with a bang. We have had several snappy debates which have proved both interesting and bene¬ficial. Congress has fully decided on three important questions: That the president should be elected for a term of six years, and not sub¬ject to re-election; that the gov¬ernment should own and control all railroads; and that women should, under no circumstances, be allowed to drive automobiles. We therefore extend our invita¬tion to all girls to come and get acquainted with us and our ideals. RUTH FALCK. ASSEMBLY President Coney presided over today's assembly. The opening number was a piano number by Earl Donaldson, followed by club announcements. Under the direction of Mr. Peter¬son, the girls' chorus sang two pleasing numbers, after which Miss Irvine read a rollicking one-act play, "Thursday Evening." Miss Nettie Newman played a violin selection, accompanied by Liddy Teuscher. As a climax, the I Wannan O club introduced a new school song, composed by their peppy adviser, Ed Smith. A yell practice closed the enter¬tainment. Hats off to you, Kieth, let's have more like this one. Mon. Oct. 8th OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 (Rex Greaves, Editor pro tem) WELCOME, TEACHERS Ogden High school is fortunate in obtaining the services of six new instructors, who, we feel, are in line for a little introduction. Miss Virginia Florence Greene, the new Spanish teacher, feels quite to home in her new position, and she is well liked by the stu¬dents. Stellae has chosen her for its new advisor and Stellae, by the way, has an eye for business. She obtained her B. A. degree, major¬ing in the field she has chosen, at the University of Idaho, and has one-fourth of her M. A. degree at Stanford university. Mrs. Blanche Kendall McKey is which she received her M. A. at the University of Utah last spring. She taught at Weber college prior to her departure for Rexburg five years ago, where she took charge of the public speaking department of Ricks college. She participated in the Drama league contest last year and won the highest honors for her one-act play in Idaho, and first prize in both Idaho and Utah for her three-act play. She is also a talented poet, one of her poems, "Longing," appears in Stratford's "Anthology of Contemporary Poets." Truly, we can expect much from the English students under Mrs. McKey's supervision. PARENTS SYMPATHETIC It was manifest Friday that the parents of the students of the Og¬den High school are in sympathy with the students in their sports and extra curricular activities. On Thursday the' advisor teachers no¬tified the students that those who desired to attend the game at Bear River High school on Friday must needs bring written requests from parents to that effect on Fri¬day. Friday morning the written excuses literally flowed in at the office and the principal decided it wouldn't be worth while to keep school for the few who remained and consequently dismissed the school at 1:30 o'clock. RESEARCH Pardon us for research, but this seems really worth telling. In the 1915 issue of the Classicum is a picture of a boy in shiny blue cadet suit. This boy is none other than young Willie Smith. For Willie, students, was an officer and he had undergone the same torture to become one as many of our R. O. T. C. boys are now. Bear this in mind when the teacher in 306-A gives you a heavy assignment. Near the picture is a comment which reads: "He could on either hand dispute, confute, change hands, and still confute." Therein lies the reason for Mr. Smith being an advisor of Forum. We turn to the class roll and find that his appearance was fidgity. He was alias "Will-if, his hobby was Clara, he was captured" arguing and accused of chewing the rag. Moral: Time flies. THE OLD FIGHT Nearly two hundred students and teachers journeyed to Tremonton Friday to see their Tiger team triumph, 20-0, over a fighting Bear River eleven. The maddened Tigers fought and plunged their way to three touchdowns and held the op¬position scoreless. With their first victims safely tucked away the Bengals are shar¬pening their claws for the big home game with Preston this com¬ing Friday. The school has proved that it's behind the team and it will turn out en masse to cheer them on when they face the Idaho farmers at Lorin Farr park in the big Columbus day battle. SUCCESSFUL PARTY The girls’ party was all it was supposed to be. A large crowd came and enjoyed the fun that had been planned for them by the big sisters. Entertaining stunts were presented by the girls' clubs and the grand march revealed a vari¬ety of clever costumes. Popcorn and punch were the refreshments. It was conclusively demonstrated throughout the night that a crowd of girls easily surpass a crowd of boys in noise-making. HAM AND The groans and whines of vac¬uum tubes; the screeches of rheostats; the purrs and hisses of pow¬er unitsr all these combine their utmost efforts to make radio a benefit to humanity; and Ham And combines these to make life inter¬esting and educational for its 'Hams." Our motive for an approaching meeting is to drag out of its hi¬bernating quarters the mammoth i 9-tube Super-Hetrodyne, that has been inert for manj a year. We in¬tend to have this functioning flaw¬lessly soon—soon enough to hear the national scandal on the coming election. All those interested in radio or the undertakings of Ham And, please watch for the bulletin for next meeting—indefinite because of school activities during the week— and show up and be welcomed. —Jack Norback, Secretary. OFF FOR TEXAS Ernest Wangsgard, instructor in physics, and a prominent player in the American Legion drum and trumpet corps, left for San Antonio, Texas, with the legion on Thurs¬day. Louis Wangsgard, his broth¬er, will substitute in his absence. Conductor Hy Lammers is also at¬tending the convention. Albert Erickson is conducting the band in his absence. Tues. Oct. 9th OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 (Rex Greaves, Editor pro tem) "THE PATSY" After considerable shifting and shuffling, Miss Irvine and her as¬sistants have decided upon a trial cast for the new school play, "The Patsy." The tryouts were partici¬pated in by many of the students and it was a very difficult task to make the final selection. Miss Ir¬vine says that the tryouts this year were more encouraging than the ones of last year were. A stage manager and a business manager still remain to be chosen. The cast: Patsy Eleanor Stevens Grace Lyzena Payne Sadie Bernice Lasson Mrs. Harrington.... Rebecca Ririe Mr. Harrington.... Richard McKay Tony Keith Corry Billy Charles Housley O'Flaugherty Kent Bramwell Trip Busty Walton Foulger AT RANDOM Stellae party postponed. No stars. Ogden vs. Preston, Friday, at Lorin Farr park. The Smith brothers—Ed, Willis and Al. TIGERS ABROAD As the football season gets stead¬ily under way it is not so surprising to note that many of the players of nearby colleges and universities are boys who spent their high school days on the corner of Twen¬ty-fifth street and Monroe avenue, When the Utah Aggies play the University of Wyoming here on Oc¬tober 20 the faces of four Ogden youths will bream from under blue and white helmets. They belong to Ken Vanderhoof, "Red" Wade, Har¬ry Clark and Herb Griffin, all of whom are fighting for the U. A. C. At the U. or U., while Ray Price is cavorting as a regular Redskin' halfback and Lee Newman anJ Wayne Fisher are fighting for berths on the freshman eleven, the Glen brothers, George and Jay, are handing out the towels and lini¬ment as manager and assistant manager of athletics. B. Y. U. boasts of a fullback named Ballif. Mark was to captain the Tigers in '26 but the new We¬ber high opened that year and he was forced to enroll there. Wilky Wilkinson is also at the "Y"; he is calling signals on the frosh team which turned out 52 strong for the new season. At the University of Colorado, at Boulder, a Tiger has matriculated. This is Gib Beck who played in '26 I and is a member of the first year team at the new school. When the Weber college eleven departs for Honolulu in December the following ex-Tigers will un-doubtedly be on board the boat: Rulon Budge, Joe Clapier, Jim Russell, Gib Moesinger, Wally Peterson, Francis Hearn, Jack and Dave Doxey, Byron and Elton Knapp, Ray Anderson and Theo Alexander. NEW TEACHERS Mrs. Grace Stone Blackham has charge of the physical education department. She is a graduate the University of Utah where she majored in physical education and has attended the summer school at Utah Agricultural college. She taught at high two years ago at which time she was Grace Stone. The aim of her department is to teach the girls that correct posture will make them beautiful and that any girl can be beautiful if she will assume correct posture. Those students succumbing to the lure of working on automobiles have as their instructor Vivian Hale. Mr. Hale is decidedly capa¬ble of this position and the boys in grease get along fine with him, After graduating from Rhaes au¬tomobile school, he worked six years as a mechanic and shop fore¬man before going into business for himself, selling and servicing many types and styles of cars. When the new Weber high school opened he found himself at the head of the mechanic arts department there, He has attended both the Univer¬sity of Utah and the Utah Agricul¬tural college and he is now working for a B. S. degree which he hopes to obtain in the near future. EXPRESS SYMPATHY Students of Ogden high school express their sincere sympathy to one of our senior students, Miss Lyzena Payne, in the sudden and un¬expected death of her father. It ji one of life's saddest losses and obi that can never be repaired . Ma the thought that her fellow students sympathize and mourn w hex- be of some little consolatif in this sad hour. NEW MAN IN CHARGE Louis Wangsgard, prominei ranchman of Huntsville, who began substituting for his brother, Ernest, who is away with the legion. |
