We have to wait until tomorrow to get our report cards, but I don't think most of us will be able to stand the suspense. Awaiting the first returns of our work is always just a little bit strenuous. IMPORTANT DATE There's always a bright side to everything, so that while we may "read 'em and weep" Friday morn¬ing, we can see 'em and scream Fri¬day night, Ah, didn't you know? The Halloween dance is scheduled for 9 o'clock at the Berthana, and everyone is cordially invited at a dollar a couple, to mingle with green-eyed black cats and vapor¬ous spirits guarded by huge pump¬kins. COUNCIL MEETING On Tuesday at 3:32 o'clock the regular council meeting was called to order by President Corry, and the minutes were read and ap¬proved. Carpe Diem was given permission to hold its initiation party on No¬vember 2. Miss Emmett read the rules con¬cerning membership in clubs of Ogden high. After some discussion it was moved and seconded to grant the athletic manager the privilege of having a proxy in council whenever necessary, and that Mr. Burbidge be dropped from council on account of his duties as assistant athletic manager. It was also decided to allow the junior class to choose an¬other representative to take the place of Mr. Burbidge. Council then adjourned. JEANETTE MORRELL, Secretary. NEW FACULTY MEMBER Teachers and students have just learned by chance that J. W. Connell is papa again, this time to an-other fine boy, born more than a week ago. The mother is getting along nicely and the teachers say "J. W." will probably survive pro¬viding he brings the customary box of chocolates to faculty meeting on Tuesday next. TEACHERS CELEBRATE The high school teachers cele¬brated the ending of the first term Wednesday evening by indulging in a chicken dinner at the Valley house at Huntsville. After the din¬ner they returned to the home of Principal Merrill where they were entertained by readings by Miss Dorothy Irvin, vocal music by Ralph Peterson and Miss Phyllis King, radio, and games until a late hour—much too late for teachers. NAVY DAY Navy day will be observed by the R. O. T. C. at high school on Fri¬day, October 2G. Chief Petty Officer Hearn of the United States navy will give an address before the unit at 8:30 o'clock.

A good laugh is better than medicine. 2. Learn how to tell a helpful story. A well-told story is as wel¬come as a sunbeam in a sick room. 3. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The World is too busy to linger over your ills and sorrows. TODAY'S CHUCKLE Laugh and the teachers laughs with you. Laugh and you laugh alone. First when the joke is the teach¬er's. Second, when it is your own. SENIOR MEETING A senior meeting was held Thurs¬day night for the election of an as¬sistant yell leader and for a further discussion of the class rings and pins. Joe Bybee was elected to assist Kent Bramwell, yellmaster, in the future. Special stress was put on the fact that the rings and pins can be ordered now, so that those eager to get theirs before Christmas must get their order in immediately. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to our Hall of Fame: Margaret Ellingson— Because she has been many a man's Waterloo. Because she is the author of the book, "Why Blondes Prefer Gentle¬men." Because she has never said, "The R. O. T. C. makes men out of boys." Because she has offered for sale her slightly tarnished halo. Warren Wattis— Because he has never said, "I'll pay you tomorrow." Because a local paper has quoted him as saying, "I will give absolutely no more dances to stags." Because he is the living proof that "ignorance is bliss." Because his picture is now ap¬pearing in "True Story.” (Don't rush, girls, there are plenty to go around.) And Kent Bramwell— Because he invented the phrase, "Give me a place to stand and I will move the world." Because Napoleon was also small. Because he has never said, "I am captain of my soul." Because virtue is its own reward. —Audrey Clark, Reporter. Mon. Oct 29 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 (MARIAN WHITTON, Editor pro tem.) THE SUCCESS FAMILY The father of Success is Work.

Genievere Hess, Eleanor Stevens, Charlene Scowcroft, Ada Sailor, Margery Anderson and Beth Peck are our pledges and we're mighty proud of everyone of them.

You'll hear more about us later. LYZENA PAYNE. CLUB DINNER PARTY A dinner party. What could be more delightful to a group of hap¬py, hungry girls? Imagine a gath¬ering of fair maidens dressed in blue and white (to match the ta¬ble decorations) being entertained by a gracious hostess, Miss Evelyn Van Dyke, who sees that each one enjoys herself to the fullest, and you have the correct picture of the French club dinner party. After playing that highly enlightning game, bunco, each girl started, on the long trail home with that sat¬isfied feeling which always follows the words, "I had a lovely time." AUDREY CLARK, Reporter. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Rex Greaves. Because everything he under¬takes is a "howling success." Because he believes that the rock of Gibraltar belongs to the Prudential Life Insurance com¬pany. Because It is believed that he has a pull with the faculty. Because he claims that he once found a piece of news in the High School Notes. And Elizabeth Nye. Because she is high chief excuse writer. Because she never falls to pick up bits of paper she sees upon the floor. Because she has never told a se¬cret. Because she invented the phrase, "Give me liberty or give me death." And Keith Corry.. Because he believes that the girls have the right spirit when they sing "Let's Get Together." Because it is believed that he invented the phrase, "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark." (Either he or Shakes¬peare.) Because of popular vote. (All women voting.) Because he can ask a favor In such a way that it seems like an honor to grant it. AUDREY CLARK, Reporter. We enjoyed the opportunity at Friday's assembly of hearing Hon. Don B. Colton, congressman of the First district. Mr. Colton told us a number of interesting stories and then launch¬ed out in the theme, "What It Means to Be an American." By relating the story of Jacob Riis and others who have risen through ob-scurity, poverty and similar handicaps he made us feel that we, too, must learn to appreciate the glor-ious opportunities that are ours. Mr. Colton was introduced by Da¬vid J. Wilson. Music was furnished by Hugh Ford and Horace Nebeker and the boys' quartet, Gerald Klomp, Roy¬al Harrop, Walton Foulger and Hessel Stowe. A select reading was given by Verna Taylor. Tues. Oct. 30 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 MARIAN WHITTON Editor, Pro Tem. WISDOM When I have ceased to break my wings Against the faultiness of things, And learned that compromises wait Behind each hardly opened gate; When I can look life in the eyes Grown calm and very coldly wise, Life will have given me the truth, And taken in exchange—my youth. R. O. T. C. OFFICERS Most of the students probably noticed in Sunday's paper that all of the cadet officers had been chosen, so now we have only a short time to wait to find out how close we came to guessing who the sponsors will be. JAM AND JELLY DAY The results of the first jam and jelly day were so poor that Tues¬day was set aside for the same pur¬pose and it was hoped that the girls especially would remember to bring some donation so that we can make a big' offering to the war veterans in hospitals. NOVEL ASSIGNMENT Mrs. Newcomb gave all her class an assignment for Monday that read: "In one sentence describe 'the smell that issues from the cafe¬teria at noon." These were some of the results: "At noon a most promising, tan¬talizing odor, announcing stewed cabbage and fried onions, drifted from the cafeteria to the impa¬tient nostrils of smiling, hungry students." "A most delicate aroma of in¬cense issues into our classroom each noon from the cafeteria." "The fragrance from the cafe¬teria, as I stand in line, makes me feel as thankful to God for delicious food as does the fragrance of the lilac trees on a warm summer night make me feel thankful for lovely nature." THE QUARTERLY There is a very uncertain rumor going around the school to the ef¬fect that the Quarterly will be out Friday. Personally, We hope it is true, as getting an issue of the Quarterly is always exciting. BAND WILL PLAY The R. O. T. C. band played several numbers at practice on Monday in preparation for the first, public appearance of the year, which will be at the Davis-Ogden game at Lorin Farr park on Fri¬day. TERM REPORT A report of the first term's work was submitted to the faculty at the regular meeting this morning. The report shows that 94.6 per .cent of the pupils passed the first term's work successfully. The following grades were given: A's, 643: B's, 1879; C's, 913; D's, 162; failures, 61; incompletes, 4 6.

CAFETERIA PAYS The cafeteria has now been run¬ning five weeks. Miss Mealiff, di¬rector, reports that the cafeteria is just meeting expenses. It is the aim to sell food at actual cost and we are glad to know that this service may be continued so long, as it meets actual cost. Wed. Oct. 31 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 (Marian Whitton, Editor Pro Tem) THREE THINGS Three things have taught me cour¬age— Three things I've seen today; A spider re-weaving her web, Which thrice had been swept away; A child refusing to weep In spite of a cruel pain; A robin singing a cheering song In the midst of a chilling rain. CONGRESS Wre met in our new meeting , place Monday night, but it didn't j seem to have the charm that Mrs. Newcomb's room had. Although we had a fair attendance, it wasn't the best possible. We learned a lot about debate. We are doing this so as to prepare for Forum and their debating crew. Next week's meeting will be op¬en to anyone who wishes to come, so let's have a big response.—Ruth Falck. VISITORS PRESENT Ellis Cragun and Nathalie Layton came up Tuesday from Washington Junior High to check up oil their former students' and their work, for their paper. Mrs. Irwin helped them trace their former classmates, and we hope they found their records satisfactory. NEW CLUB PLANNED A girls' athletic club is to be or¬ganized in the school, and those who are greatly interested in sports are asked to attend tnejpti meeting. ACCIDENTALLY SPEAKING Since school started several stu¬dents have suffered minor bruises from automobile accidents, but the most nearly calamitous one so far was the encounter Ruth Zupparm suffered Tuesday. Her arm was injured quite seriously and, al¬though she was taken to the hos¬pital for treatment, she reported back to school on time, much ban¬daged. There is a lesson here for tardy students. As Ruth is to take up the work of editor pro tem, we think it was especially unfortunate, but she intend to "carry on." COL. THOMAS H. CUNNINGHAM, in charge of the Og¬den High school cadet corps, who comes to Ogden with a record of placing his trainees in the honor column. CADETS HAVE ABLE LEADER New Distinctions In R. O. T. C. Work Appear Ahead of School Ogden High school, for five years an R. O. T. C. honor school of the Ninth corps area and twice winner of the annual William Ran¬dolph Hearst rifle shooting trophy, is due to continue in the future as a top notch unit in military at¬tainments. Assignment of Colonel Thomas H. Cunningham, retired cavalry of¬ficer, as professor of military sci¬ence and tactics, is a promise to the school that the coming years will be as bountiful as the past. Colonel Cunningham enlisted in the army in 1898 at Fort McPherson, Atlanta, Georgia, as a buck private in the rear rank. At the end of the second year he was first sergeant in the cavalry. He passed his examination at that time m, was commissioned a second lieu¬tenant. He served during the "World war as instructor at the camps in the eastern part of the United States, but did not cross the Atlantic. TO CARNEGIE TECH In 1921 he was appointed as pro¬fessor of military science and tac¬tics at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburg, where he taught for more than two years In 1924 he asked to be relieved on account of bad health and he and Mrs. Cunningham went to France, where they rested for two years, He was then recalled and placed at the head of the military department of two Council Bluffs, la., high schools, where he made an excellent record, landing both schools in the honor column. Then, at his own request, he transferred to Ogden because, "I like the people, I like the climate, and I like the town." In succeeding Captain C. J. Dockler, Colonel Cunningham has
