Ogden High Wed Oct. 10 (Rex Greaves, Editor Pro Tem) Students have had to face this on the bulletin board during the past week: -Failure Is the only thing which can be achieved without effort."

REACTION TO A MOUTH A mouth so curved and small, you know, With lis so shapely, too, Was made to smile with happiness And not a frown to rue. Those lips I watch with kindled eyes: That smile I treasure up, And dmad to find a frown there¬on— The dregs from out the cup. From ont this mouth so finely carv¬ed Coni'i words of wisdom true, To help us learn the things we should And more than that accrue. To words they lend an added charm, Trite things pain beauty, too. When uttered by those lips of hers To Just us chosen few. —VERLA RATY. FORUM Forum's meeting was somewhat the ordinary. The members became dispensers of the fine points The members talked on the ele¬ments of debating for the benefit the indldates for the waiting list. Our pupils then had the pleasure Of asking any question on de¬bating they wished. And how! Forum has been placed in the position of a martyr. Those noble souls are bearing the brunt of Mr. Wiggins' complaints for the noisy behavior of Congress In the halls on Monday evening.

Oct. 11 JACK NORBACK, Editor Pro Tem LEST YOU FORGET Tonight's the night! Everybody is going to meet on the school steps at 7:30 o'clock sharp. We are go¬ing to regenerate that old-time O. H. S. spirit We are going to show the town that we are not dead. Re-: member, tonight at 7:30 o'clock,our first snake dance of the season will be staged. TOMORROW Last Friday more than 200 stu¬dents with a large number of teach¬ers sallied forth to Tremonton and watched the Tigers overwhelm the Bears. Thus as the Tigers bared the Bears, so they will swamp the Potato Growers. Here's the data on tomorrow's game: Teams—Ogden vs. Preston. Place—Lorin Farr park. Time—Friday, 3:30 p. m. THAT YOU MAY KNOW Some Btudents do not realize thei "red tape' that a principal must go through in order to proclaim a holiday. Some students think that the principal has the authority to turn them loose whenever he is in that mood. They think that they should foe given a holiday for every small event. But these ideas are false. These students should realize the heavy burden of responsibility that Mr. Merrill placed on his shoulders when he let them out for the Ogden-Bear River game last week. Students, let's not forget this act of courtesy and show our appreci¬ation by helping to make all of student-body functions a success. PALETTE AND CHISEL We, the members of Palette and Chisel held our weekly meeting in Mr. Stewart's room. Monday at 3:15 o'clock. President Norback pre¬sided. The membership waiting list was discussed.

Because of the loss of our secre¬tary who was elected last spring, an election was held. Florence Stephens was elected secretary by aclamation.

Ogden High School News Friday Oct. 12 (Jack Norback, Editor Pro Tem) If anyone's mind is saturated with bright ideas, let a few of them run out on paper and give the paper to Mrs. Irwin or the edi¬tor pro tem. Any news—literary or otherwise —contributed to the Ogden High School Notes will be appreciated by the staff. Therefore, do not be timid about presenting any mate¬rial. REMINDING YOU SOCIALLY Here is a word of advice to the large, masculine seniors and the small, handsome juniors: The Hallowe'en dance will be held on November 2. OFFICERS' TEST The belles of the school have been held in suspense; they have been wondering at whom they should throw the bewitching smile. Well, "it won't be long now." Colonel Cunningham has given the preliminary commissioned offi¬cers' test. All who pass in this test will be made "shave-tails" (second lieutenants). And all of these will be watched by the col¬onel and Sergeant Halloway—all their merits and demerits being re¬corded. In the near future another test will be held, and so on, until each officer is in his proper place. Colonel Cunningham is a man who believes in giving every stu¬dent a fair chance. He said, "The cadet colonel may not be selected until Christmas." FIRE DRILL Students were taken by surprise when the fire signal sounded at t 11:45 o'clock Wednesday morning. The students marched out orderly and in quick time. They resumed their studies in classes in a few minutes, as if nothing had happened. I-WANNAN-O We still Wannan-O. Meeting was called to order Wed¬nesday by Maximo Wannan-O Sampson at the home of Wannan-O Jackson. As a feature of our meet¬ing we discussed the idea of wel¬coming visitors to our games. We hoiw to instill a feeling of welcome in -the minds of students from oth¬er high schools. We ask the aid of the school boosters in this move¬ment at all future games. Show the guest a place in the grand¬stand and make him feel that we are pleased to have him with us j and not that he is just a necessary evil that follows opposing teams. It shows more good spirit and en¬thusiasm to cheer for any fine play and not just for our own game. Competition should be wel¬comed as a-means for showing our strength and we should not be¬grudge a little gain that they might make. We wish to congratulate the students who went to Bear River to back our fine team. The spirit was commendable—keep it up gang! HAM AND Regular Ham And meeting was called to order at 7:39 ¾ p. m. by President John McCrumm. The first part of the meeting was disposed of by the usual dis¬cussion. The last part was devoted to "working" calling and carrying on conversation) with other Hams. There are two fellows in Ham And who have licensed transmitters—John McCrumm, 6DXH, and Robert Schatz, 6EKF. However, before the year is over we believe that more than half of the present members of the club will be licensed operators—watch us. About a week ago we called a Ham in California and sent a ra¬diogram to Keith McMurrin. A large number of you probably re¬member Keith; he was a popular fellow up here last year. A little later in the year, when we heve more stations, radiograms will be accepted from students of the Ogden high school and sent to any place in the United States or Canada, or any of the United States' possessions—absolutely free of charge (do you get the free part of it?). Don't forget this offer, students! —Jack Norback, Sec'y. ASSEMBLY President Keith Corry called the assembly to order at 2 p. m. Opening number of the program was a selection by Earl Donaldson. Following the announcements, the players were introduced by Coach Dixon Kapple. Mr. Kapple also gave a talk concerning ath¬letics as connected with sportsman¬ship. Lee Cain, popular alumnus who set his mark at high school last year, favored the assembly with a solo. Alice Emmett was the accompanist. Lieutenant Col¬onel T. H. Cunningham told of in¬teresting experiences in past life. Yell practice was taken up to attune the spirits of all to victory. The assembly was then adjourned amidst a hilarious shout and the crowd moved on toward the grid¬iron. CONGRESS The congress members have be¬come politicians. We debated Monday night, the question, "Resolved, that the eighteenth amendment should be repealed." The affirma¬tive was upheld by Eleanor Wedell and Ruth Kraines and the neg¬ative by Ada Sailor and Marjorie Anderson. After the air had cool¬ed off, the decision was given to the negative. Next week we shall still be poli¬ticians, for we are going to dis¬cuss the matter of the new presi¬dent of the United States. —RUTH FALCK Monday Oct 15 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 (JACK NORBACK, EDITOR PRO TEM) Students, don't forget, it is only 18 more days before the Halloween dance. That means that there are only 12 more school days, and therefore only 12 more days to get your dates. You had better get your dates now so that you won't be left behind. ONE-ACT PLAYS Miss Irvine has cast eight plays from her classes. Each of these will be judged competitively and the best three will be selected. These will be played in the Central Junior High school aditorium dur¬ing the middle of November. The Girls' association will spon¬sor these plays. As you know, the Girls' association started last year to collect pictures to help beautify the school, consequently, all pro¬ceeds from this series cf plays will be used for the art collection. Since the result of this affair will be directly to the benefit of the school, let's all get behind and help put it over. "THE PATSY" Under the excellent supervision of Miss Irvine the school play, "The patsy," promises to leave another mark of success on the record of Ogden High school. Managers of the school play were announced in assembly Fri¬day. They are: Business manager, Bill' Reeder; stage manager, Jack Norback; assistant stage manager, Paul Blair. |
