Let us do something worth while that will live through the years in our memories to remind us of the dear days gone by. As we pass down the narrow path of life and look back on our records good and ill, let us see our high school days at the head of the list of pleasant memories. A SUGGESTION Do not pray for problems equal to your mental powers, pray for mental powers equal to your problems. OCTOBER’S TEMPEST The autumn wind--oh, hear it howl; Without--October’s tempests scowl, As he troops away on the raving wind! And leaveth dry leaves in his path behind. ‘Tis the night--the night That the graves delight. And the devils are at their play! To think that without The wild winds shout, But no, it is they-- it is they! FOOTBALL The Ogden high school football team went to Logan Wednesday afternoon with high heart. They were going forth to battle with the Logan eleven. They returned with smiling faces although a defeat of forty-five to six. Ogden has a splendid team and still has a good chance to win the other games, if the student body gets behind and supports the team. CHEMISTRY Chemistry in the high school seems to be making fair headway this year. Although the laboratory books were late and held the students back quite a while, they seem anxious to begin in earnest their battle with the elements in the laboratory. Mr. Smith is willing to explain very carefully all details that are necessary to prevent accidents when dangerous substances are used. He has explained to his classes that many serious explosions are due to lack of necessary precaution and are generally without excuse. He stated that last year was the first year since he taught chemistry at high, that no really serious accident occurred throughout the year. This year the students hope to live up to this good record. Chemistry is really a very fascinating subject if studied enough to be understood. We hope more students who take it learn to enjoy it. Mon. Oct OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 On Thursday, September 20, the first junior class meeting was held. Although the members present were few, the meeting showed the vim and pep that describes this year’s junior class. Class officers and class advisers were elected. Horace Nebeker was named president with Ted Mattson as vice president and Ada Sailor as secretary. The class advisers are Miss Dorothy Irvine and Miss Emma Chesney. Plans for the coming year were discussed. The class feels that with the leadership of these officers and the aid of the advisers they will make a splendid showing. Here’s hoping! WATER FIGHT The annual water fight between the juniors and seniors came off with floods of water. A large crowd watched the proceedings with joy and mirth, and the participants went to battle with ardor. The junior were thoroughly drench¬ed and tie seniors emerged wet but vicarious. The juniors were good sports and took their duck¬ing with good grace and the seniors were good winners. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION Thursday, September 27, a meet¬ing of the officers and representa¬tives of -the Girls' association was held in Mrs. Irwin's room. The meeting was well attended. Plans were discussed for carrying out next week's program, the launch¬ing of the big sister movement. Friday after school the juniors and seni'ors met in the gymnasium. There each senior was paired off with a junior. During this week the senior is to look after her ju¬nior, introduce her to the school— in short, give her a friendly wel¬come. And on the night of Friday, October 5, a costume party is to be held. Each senior will take her junior and will devote herself to seeing that the junior has a roar¬ing good time. NEW MEMBERS Gamma Kappa has taken six members: Virginia Clay, Eleanor Wedell, Stella Stringham, Sheila Lee Roberts, Francis Purrington and Jeanette Manning. As a part of their year's program, Gamma Kappa hopes to equip the school with an honest-to-goodness work¬able radio. Three cheers! TO LEAD CHEERS Kent Bramwell has been appoint¬ed yell leader with Dee Bramwell, his younger brother, and Bill Smi¬ley as his assistants. We hear that the next younger brother, Paul, is yell leader at Central. The Bram¬well family certainly seems to be talented. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics club held its second meeting Wednesday at 3:15 o'clock it the sewing room. Officers for the club were elected: Madeline Stringham, president; Winifred Laurie, vice president; Helen Borup, secretary and Rose Hains, reporter. Uniforms were decided upon and plans for the opening party were discussed. We anticipate a bigger and better time ,this year, if possible. THE FIGHT IS ON We tried ourselves out in ath¬letic contests on Friday, one team ut Jordan and one at Morgan. We lost at the former and won at the latter, an even break, we call it. It was a good beginning and as it was the first game for the season, we are not at all discouraged, rather, encouraged. We have a line bunch of boys in football and we are confident they are going t do the school honor this year. ATHLETIC CARDS Application has been made to the state arbitrator, Superintendent E. Allan, Bateman, for eligibility cards for the following boys; August Ahlf, Albert Beach, Don Chambers, Jim Francis, Gordon Finch, Rex Greaves, Sam Herscovitz, Jack Harbertson, Delbert Jones, John Murphy, Les Mayer, Hugh Mayer, Jake Oliash, Bob Parks, Frank Read, Darold Stone, Peter Schuletz, William Stitt, Ernest Tarran, Bob Van Dyke and Darwin Van de Graaff. These boys have good scholastic records and there will be no question about their being allowed to compete in state games. SOCIAL SUCCESS Our get-acquainted student body dance on Friday night was a huge success. The hall was crowded with happy students and all had a glor¬ious time. We were glad to have with us about fifty alumni of the school. Let us have more parties of this kind. Mon. Oct. 22 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 (MABEL SUNDQUIST, EDITOR PRO-TEM.) OUR VISITORS Many of the students who strug¬gled so hard to graduate last year from the Ogden High school have been seen this year wandering through the halls and rooms on vis¬its to this institution of learning. Most of these visitors have been heard to say that they enjoyed their high school days in spite of some subjects that caused them grief. REPORT CARDS Only two more days until we get the marks that stand for our suc¬cess or failure in our studies for the first term. Is anybody wor¬ried? A-B-C-D-E-F On your report cards, you who sluff For each subject get a letter, But if you work for what you get, I'm sure you'll like it better. AN O. H. S. ALUMNUS G. H. Morgan graduated from the Ogden High school in 1925. He spent his freshman year at the university in Berkeley, and row has a good position with the Nippon Yusen Kaisha freight line in San Francisco. NOTICE Everybody remember! Only four more days until the big Halloween dance. We want this dance to be a huge success. All you fellows whp have not yet made your dates be sure to make them within the next four days, because we don't want anybody to miss the fun. Ogden High Tues Oct 23 (MABEL SUNDQUIST Editor Pro Tem) A NEW TERM Monday we bravely launched our canoe of school life with a splash on to the broad untroubled waters of the second term in our school year. The last six weeks did not seem very long or tiresome to most of us, as we sailed a rough unset¬tled sea trying to guide our frail craft safely through the most treacherous part of our long jour¬ney. Our voyage during the weeks to come will prove far more inter-esting and less disturbed and brok¬en into than that just past, be¬cause everyone is now settled down to steady rowing in the daily rou¬tine of school life and duties. The marks we get on our report cards tomorrow for the first term do not count as much toward our final marks as those of the forth¬coming terms, as some students, who climbed aboard our boat late, caused it to partly fill with water; therefore, the teachers may not have judged accurately the worth of such students for the first six weeks. Now the water is bailed out and we have smooth going again. OUR BAND There Is music on the morning air. Have you heard it, as it wafts out through the open windows of our assembly hall any morning be¬fore 9:30 o'clock? Does not the rhythm and the volume of it thrill you? It echoes and reverberates throughout the building. In it we see success; it is the future Og¬den high school band for the year and is composed of just those lucky students who have genius for bring¬ing forth beautiful sounds from the musical instruments that most of us could only make an uncere-monious noise on. We are glad to have the students with musical abil¬ity trained in the right way and then try to live up to the record the high school band has made in the history of the school. ENGLISH DEPARTMENTS Most of the English teachers in the school have been concerned with drills in grammar during the past six weeks, to give the students a firm foundation to build their edifices of good English upon. "THE PATSY" I overheard this saying, "Don't cry over spilt milk, there's enough water in it already." Will some¬body please explain this to me, am completely mystified. It is a piece out of the school play, "The Patsy," that will be put on either December 14 or 15. Don't forget. It will be interesting, I am sure. THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB About thirty boys from the Og¬den high school went to Salt Lake City Friday to appear on the pro¬gram before the music department of the Utah Education association meeting. They had the honor of being the only other party on a program in which Dr. Osborne McCarathy was the speaker. The glee club left Ogden at 10 o'clock and appeared on the pra¬gma In Salt Lake at 2. They gave a twenty-minute demonstrtion of voice technique and songs. They were highly complimented by all present. Due to the careful insrtuction of Ralph Peterson, we have quite a successful male chorus this year. INSTITUE EXPENSES The high school teachers were requested yesterday to give evidence of new inspiration and renewed de¬termination to put over a better teaching job by reason of their hav¬ing spent the better part of two days in the state teachers' conven¬tion at Salt Lake last week. It is estimated tht the convenion cost the high school $10,445. This ex¬pense is accounted for as follows: One and one-half days' school lost by 800 pupils. $ 9,600 One and one-half days' sal¬ary for 35 teachers 420 Teachers' expenses in Salt Lake 350 Janitors' salaries and build¬ing expense 75 Total $10,445 From the business standpoint the question arises: "Is the convention worth the money to the school system?" A WORK OF ART Ogden high school had on exhi¬bition at the Utah state steachers' convention one of the most beau¬tiful and artistic pieces of work ever put out by the carpentry de¬partment of the high school. This is a beautiful floor lamp made by Albert Bragonje. The stand is made of 24 different kinds of hardwood, of various lengths and shapes set together in a beautiful mosaic. It is highly polished and has an ex¬quisite and most pleasing appear¬ance. The lamp occasioned much favorable comment from the teach¬ers who saw it. The mecahnical drawing depart¬ment of the school under the direction of J. W. Connell, also had on exhibition a very creditable collection of mechanical drawings. Wed. Oct. 24 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 OCTOBER IS PASSING. When all the trees are losing leaves That flutter brown and yellow; When over barren fields it seems The mists of autumn mellow; October passes all too soon, A scene of fading glory. Among the branches of the trees The wind moans a sad ston'. A sudden gust brings warning chill November is descending, To take the throne and rule awhile; October's reign is ending. U. E. A. DIRECTOR. At a meeting of the U. E. A. directors on Monday, Mrs. Florence H. Newcomb of Ogden High school was named as a director to fill the place made vacant by the elevation of C. Ray Evans to the vice presi-dency of the association. RINGS AND PINS. Ogden High school rings and pins can be ordered now. The great ma¬jority of seniors have not yet or¬dered their pins and rings. The rings are $6.50, $4.00 down; the pins are $4.50, $2.00 down. Be sure and put in your orders now. A WORD TO THE WISE. __ It may be proper to be satisfied with what you have, never with what you are. TYPEWRITING. It is always worth while to study typewriting whether you are taking a commercial course or not, on account of its value in writing with speed and endurance. Many stu¬dents realize its worth and take it for an elective. As illegible hand¬writing is a great setback in the business or educational world, here again it finds a place for use. We have two teachers of this commercial art and all their classes are filled with ambitious students. MY MOTTO. Only the present hour is mine. I may not have another In which to speak a kindly word Or help a fallen brother. The path of life leads straight ahead. I can retrace it never. The daily record , which I make Will stand unchanged forever. I shall not pass this way again. Oh, then with high endeavor May I my life and service give To Him who reigns forever. Then will the failures of the past No longer bring me sadness, And His approving smile will fill My heart with joy and gladness. CONGRESS. We had a well attended meeting Monday night. We had 15 there and our meeting was a very busy one. We filled two offices. The re¬sults happened to be in favor of Kathryn Thomas for secretary and Ruth Falck, reporter. Another thing, we had a debate. Although it was rather lop-sided it was interesting. The question, "Resolved, that Utah should enter the Boulder dam compact," was upheld on the affirmative by Laura Danvers and Marjorie Farris, and the negative by one lone person, Kath¬ryn Thomas. The debate was so good no decision could be given. The suspense was terrible for the waiting list, for we took in one new member, but we will take in another next Monday. Congratula¬tions to Ruth Kraines. This makes the fourth Ruth in our club, but any more Ruths are welcome. Next week we must meet in room 103. Now don't forget that room number, and don't forget this, that our alumni members are giv¬ing us a debate.—Ruth Falck, re¬porter. OUR HALL OF FAME. We nominate to our Hall of Fame—Jim Noblett— Because he never looks back at the past with regrets. Because he always enjoys him¬self to the "fullest." Because his mother loves him. Because there are very few things he hasn't said. And Eleanor Stevens— Because she has never forgotten to say "I had a lovely time." Because she denies that there is any sense in the statement, "Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever." Because she never says, "And how!" Because she is ranked second to Ethel Barrymore as an actress. And Lorna Crockett— Because she possesses the three Ws, Wim, Wigor and Witality. Because she is credited with in¬venting the phrase, "Veni vidi, vici!" Because she never says, "It's me." Because her motto isn't "Be Pre¬pared." —Audrey Clark, Reporter. SUPERINTENDENT VISITS. Supt. John W. Condie of Preston, Idaho, spent Tuesday afternoon vis¬iting the various classes at high school. He reports having heard some very good things about the high school and he was very happy to know all these good things are true. Thurs.
