Show 100 PER CENT PERFECT By winning the football game last Friday, the Orange Streaks have a clean slate; they have two victories and no defeats. The student body support at both of our games was excellent. When a line of students over a block long turns out for a snake dance and goes through the dance in a drizzling rain, that, shows a spirit that will never cause defeat. The Preston eleven were the di¬vision champs last year, and are considered one of the most power¬ful teams in our present division. Do you see the possibilities for our team? GAMMA KAPPA Regular Gamma Kappa meeting was called to order at 3:30 o'clock Thursday by President Oswell Jackson. The minutes were read and approved. After much discussion concern¬ing the kind of party Gamma Kap¬pa is to have, a committee of three was appointed to clear up the sit¬uation. As you know, Gamma Kappa is going to get a radio. The ques¬tion of prolonged discussion was how and where this radio would be obtained. It was suggested that the nine-tube superheterodyne now in the possession of Ham And would be ideal. However, it was undecided whether Gamma Kappa shold share the radio and share in its use with Ham And (if it were satisfactory with the latter), or if she should buy a new one. Because of a misunderstanding among some of the members of the club the program for the day was not given. NEW TEACHERS Every home needs a cook, there¬fore Ogden High school has as its domestic science teacher Miss Nel¬lie Mealiff. Miss Mealiff was grad¬uated from the Polytechnic Insti¬tute of Peoria, Ill., and also from the University of Utah. In addi¬tion to her teaching work, Miss Mealiff supervises the school cafe¬teria, which provides a nice warm luncheon for teachers and students who are unable to go home for the noon luncheon. Mirss Mealiff is very enthusiastic about her work and is already making plans to enter some of her cooking students in the university contests next snring. Miss Mealiff has taught in Illinois, in Richfield, Utah, and is now beginning her third year in the Ogden schools, having taught the past two years at South Washington Junior. OUR NEXT GAME The next league game is sched¬uled for Wednesday, October 17, with Logan, at Logan. In view of the fact that school is to be closed on Thursday at noon, on account of the state teachers' convention, Ogden endeavored to schedule the game on Thursday. Logan would not agree to this, however so the game will be nlayed on Wednesday. In view of other interruptions and the closing of school on Thursday, Ogden High students, cannot be ex¬cused to attend thf same. School authorities regret this, but it can¬not be avoided. BEAUTIFUL TROPHY Albert E. Becker is offering a beautiful silver football to the win¬ners of region 1 in football. This will be on display at th various schools in the near future. This is adding incentive for the boys in all schools to work hard, ana the sea¬son promises to be one of the most interesting in several years. Oct. 16th OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 JACK NORBACK, editor, pro-tem. Tomorrow's the day we play one of the most powerful teams in our division; we play Logan on lier field. Logan defeated Bear River, 43 0. Ogden defeated Bear River by a margin of 20-0. Ogden, with her improved and well-balanced team, can triumph over Logan if the twelfth man gets behind and fights. NEW DATE SET It has been published in the Ogden high school notes and has been promulgated around the school that the Halloween dance is to be held on November 2. The Berthana management has found out that the social scheduled for October 26 has been called off, therefore, the school dance will be given on this date—not November 2. Don't forget. By the way, boys, th?.t means that you have just one week less in which you may get ycur dates, so don't be a last minute man. SCHOOL THANKFUL The school expresses to Claude Armstrong sincere appreciation for his kindness and personal sacrifice in permitting Gordon Larson, one of his employes, to take charge of classes in physics and mathematics last week during the ablence of the regular intructor. COMMITTEES CHOSEN Committees for the Halloween dance have been selected. It was decided by council that each committee should consist of two seniors and one junior, there¬by giving the juniors an idea of what and how things are to be done next year. The following were chosen: General chairman, Kent Bramwell. Decoration, chairman, Paul Blair with Dorothy Wallace and Beacher McConnell. Program, chairman, Lorna Crockett with Jeanette Morrell and Hugh Ford. Refreshment, chairman, Louise Emmett with George Fowles and Guinevere Hess. Advertising, chairman. Eliot Sampson with John Carver and Horace Nebeker. R. O. T. C. SENIORS A meeting for all seniors in drill is to be held tomorrow, immediate¬ly after school in Mr. Dave Wangsgard's room. This meetting is very important and every senior is re¬quested to attend. WHAT'S GOING ON There are a number of students in high school who have never heard of Council. There are also a number of students who have heard, of it, but they have been hurling "whispering campaigns." They claim that it is composed of one certain group of students, and that this class is privileged to do about whatever they want. These students agree thut Coun¬cil is organized to regulate and govern affairs of the student body, but they say they never get a' chance to voice their opinions and are not allowed in council. This is absolutely wrong. Council is organized for the benefit of the students, and any student in the school is welcome to visit and of¬fer any suggestions that he thinks beneficial. TENNIS The school tennis courts are at your disposal any time ycu want to play, providing the nets are up. During this time of the year few play tennis, so why not take advantage of the open courts and be in trim for spring? However, as every activity .is gov¬erned by some sort of law, the lennis courts have rules which must be observed by all players: Council has drawn up the follow¬ing set of rules: "Any person who is reported and proved as having violated any part of these rules will be auto-matically suspended from using the courts for a period of two weeks. If he refuses to surrender this privilege when asked by any mem¬ber of the tennis committee to do so. Council has the power to make this suspension permanent. Tennis is a game for ladies and gentle¬men—bear this in mind and strive to keep it such. "1—Profanity will not be toler¬ated. "2—All tennis balls that find a lodging place in neighboring prop¬erty are lost and must be acknowledged as such. "3—Ladies and gentlemen have equal rights to both courts. How¬ever, if players are waiting, doubles and mixed doubles must be formed immediately. "4—When players are waiting to play, a one-hour time limit pre¬vails. "5—Authorized tournament games have precedence over any others. "6—Any window that is broken must be paid for by the breaker, who will notify the office immedi¬ately after the time of the acci¬dent." STELLAE No, we're not dead, nor sleeping either. The truth of the rr utter is that we have been studying stars (?) lately and haven't had time enough to make a good leport of ourselves. Yes! we were all to the snake dance— 100 per cent. After the dance we met at Eliza¬beth Nye's and had a remarkable meeting. Boy! sauerkraut and weiners. Hot Dog! Ask Virginia! I guess you've all seen our at¬tractive new teacher in school— Wed. Oct. 17 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 JACK NORBACK (Editor Pro Tem.) Don't forget the date—October 26; and don't forget the dates— boys. BOYS' GLEE CLUB. The boys' glee club of the Ogden High school has been doing fine work under the able instruction of Mr. Peterson. It will have its first chance to sing outside of the school on Thurs¬day. On this day the boys' glee club will sing in the Hotel Bigelow. On Friday it will sing in the Hotel Utah in Salt Bake. Bet's hope them a lot of success. FORUM. Forum met Monday night with the sole idea of letting those noisy juniors express themselves on the subject: Resolved, That club presi¬dents and managers of school pub¬lications be denied a vote in the council of Ogden High school." Ob¬viously, however, the noisy young¬sters didn't have so much to say as they thought they had for only a few aspirants argued. What's the matter? Did the rest of you would- be debaters develop "cold feet?" Now Forum must take measures to stop the wrangling among the waiting list members and the aspir-ants. As a result a committee was formed to schedule their debates and pair off the teams for them. All fellows interested in learning of the real purposes, ideals and time-honored customs of the oldest living club in the school are invited to attend our meeting next Mon¬day at 7:30 o'clock. Tillman Johnson, Secy. ZETA PHI XI. At last the suspense of waiting is over! Zeta Phi Xi has come out in her uniform. These clever white and black frocks are perhaps the most envied dresses in the school at the present time. Our clever song that was indeed a great hit at Friday's assembly, is only a mere sample of our pep and vim. With such a group of girls as we have, and Dorothy Wal¬lace for our president, we can't help but make this year Zeta Phi Xi's most successful. Watch us! i Alice Emmett, Reporter. CONGRESS. Last week, Forum accused us of making a noise in the hall after our meeting, but I know we didn't, be-cause we filed out of the building, and when we got outside then's when we did our talking. Also last Monday we tip-toed out, and never a word was said, and I hope Mr. Wiggins or Mr. Merrill can tell the difference between male and fe¬male voices. In spite of this, we had a dandy meeting Monday night. Hoover and Smith were talked over. Our potential waiting list members certainly have some good spirit, plus wonder¬ful speaking ability. Two weeks from last Monday our alumni members are going to have a surprise for us. And another thing, watch out, Juniors and Sen¬iors, who are tryin gout for Con¬gress, for we are beginning to talk about you' —Ruth Falck. JOIE FRANCAISE. As you have noticed, one or two of us have ventured out with our uniforms, but just keep your eyes open Thursday. To celebrate "the wearing of the Blue," Evelyn Van Dyke will be the hostess at a dinner party to be given at her home Thursday eve¬ning. Admission, one French uni¬form. PALLETTE AND CHISEL. On Monday, October 15, meeting was called to order by President Norback at 3:15 o'clock in Mr. Stewart's room. Questions were again discussed as to membership. It was moved and seconded that a meeting be called next Monday at the same time to elect new mem¬bers into the club. As soon as our new members are in the club we'll have our party! The sooner the better! So get your members now! Florence Stephens, Reporter TEACHER CONVENTION There will be no school this af¬ternoon and Friday because of the annual Utah Education associa¬tion convention, to be held in Salt Lake today, Friday and Saturday. This convention is held to show that education is at last finding its way into the public conscience. It is necessary in the individual suc¬cess of a person as well as in the national security pf a nation. Agriculture, commerce and la¬bor have been recognized in our national government by creation of departments for each. Education is entitled to an important posi¬tion and can only be elevated to one by being recognized in the cabinet of the president. To accomplish this recognition is the aim of the friends of educa¬tion, or the teachers of the schools in each state. At the convention many promi¬nent men and women will speak on education .subjects. Mrs. Gertrude Irwin and Willis Smith are Ogden's representatives on the program. COUNCIL MEETING Regular council meeting was held on Tuesday with President Corry presiding. After the minutes had been read and approved, Mr. Fowles gave a report on the work of the committees for the Hallow¬een dance. He also stated that the date for the dance had been changed from November 2 to Oc¬tober 26. His report was accepted.- The French club was given per¬mission to have a party the follow¬ing Thursday.. Miss Emmett gave a report of the founding of a new club, Tau Eta Nu. Her report was accepted by a motion. Upon the recommendation of Coach Kapple, Mr. Burbidge was appointed assistant athletic man- Mrs. Irwin announced that $150 had been presented to the high school for the art fund by the Kiwanians and the board of educa¬tion. On motion of Mr. Reeder. Miss Crockett was appointed to write a note of thanks to these mIt' was moved and seconded to accept the resignation of Mr. Smi¬ley from the office of yell leader, and to leave the appointment of a new yell leader to the senior class committee. The motion was carried. Council then adjourned. —Jeanette Morrell, Secretary. A POEM "God of Richness, Be not niggardly— Give me words for autumn— Words proud and flaunting for the red of alcs, A tone of mellow opalene for gold of poplar. Shape my lips to Vigorous stately syllables for the towering pines, And some idiom full of ancient fragrance For the spicy scent of their needles. Grant me A comfortable Saxon word for the heavy boughs of the cedar, A hale and blustering utterance for the wind that twists them. Some Gallic accent gay and deb¬onair I need for the flutter and scurry of unanchored leaves. More than all, I crave Mystic worshipful phrases ; "For the joyous death I see That shall be joyous life. "Donor of gorgeousness!" Crown of the gift— Beave me not mute With autumn unexpressed." —Evelyn Hammett. THE CAFETERIA A case has come up before the high school recently concerning the workers in the kitchen of the cafe-teria. In this case the charge is based upon circumstantial evidence alone. Very seldom has any¬one been convicted of anything se¬rious unless there was more than circumstantial' evidence. The evidence in this special case is the length of the line of stu¬dents that stretches from the cafe¬teria out into the hall every d'ay at noon; the charge is that them must be some excellent cooks at high school; and the result, set¬tled outside of court, is that we are glad to have good cooking here, and we hope the cafeteria will prove to be a success for the school this year. We also hope that moro students will be induced to eat here at noon during the coming year. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Dave Wangsgard—Because he holds the responsible position of minister of war from Huntsville. Because he is advisor to Zeta Phi Xi and is still sane. Because it is believed that he laid the corner stone for the Ogden High school. And Georgia Hopkins—Because she claims that once back in the gay 90's she shook hands with the superintendent of schools. Be¬cause she has never been heard to say: "I just washed my hair and can't do a thing with it. Because once at Carpe Diem target practice she actually hit the target with her trusty arrow. Because she is never late to any kind of a meeting. And John Carver—Because In 1776 he was queen of the Classicalia. Because he made himself a prominent local personage when he took up an interest in straws. Because he never said, "All that I am and hope to be, I owe to the Ogden High school." Because he is I, the author of the book, "How I I Gained My Popularity, and What Became of it." Friday Oct. 10 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 MABLE LUNDQUIST, Editor Pro Tem) Garff Wilson, who belonged to, Forum, helped in the making of Stellae, and rose to the position of valedictorian in 1925 at the Ogden high school is now establishing a record at the University of California, He is very happy, because ht has been elected to Phi Beta.
