Show Ogden High School News Nov. 2nd "Never leave until tomorrow that which you can do today."— Franklin. BOX RETURNED After a long vacation on the locker tops, the bulletin box has been restored to its position on the east board. Here it will be the receptacle for many articles of in¬terest concerning classes, clubs, dramatics or even literary attempts. Come, students, give the box a rousing welcome. AMONG OUR ALUMNI Chester Zinn is the president of the University of California student body, Garf Wilson, with a team of three, represented the University of California which met a Sydney, Australia, team in Berkeley. Ross Cox is attending the Uni¬versity of Southern California. Ralph Roberts is recovering from an operation for appendicitis in the Dee hospital. Fay Hopkins is holding her splendid record in University of California, Berkeley. She says, however, that she knows what it means to have a C. We always claimed that the teachers of Og¬den High are rather liberal with the grades. Jim Davis is in his second year at Annapolis. During the summer he took an interesting cruise to Portland, Me., to Guantanamo for target practice, then back to An¬napolis for hard study and drill. DRAMA DATA "The Patsy" is taking rapid strides toward perfection, although Miss Irvine has to say "What action is there, in this part," half a doz¬en times each rehearsal. Three delightful one-act plays have been chosen for presentation this month. Teacher believes that the students will enjoy seeing "The Robbery," a clever comedy; "Peg¬gy," a wonderful triumph for the little theatre, and "Nevertheless," a story of three words all huddled together. Watch for the announce¬ment of the exact date. ARTISTIC ATTEMPTS Classicum Quarterly shall be adorned by a beautiful cover de¬sign by Eleanor Stevens. The scene is of corn stalks against an autumn sky. Russet brown, blue and black are to be used to produce a very pleasing color effect. Every phase of art imaginable is being studied by the students of art this year. Yes, they make every-thing from silk scarfs to statuary. Maybe, from all our budding art¬ists, someone shall be famed as a new Raphael. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to our Hall of Fame: Charles Michaels. Because he discovered that Old Dutch Cleanser, used to wash the face, is liable to promote the growth of hair. Because he always laughs at the teachers' jokes. Because he is one of our shin¬ing (for Mrs. Newcomb's benefit) English students. Because he has been called a carbon copy of a Big Moment and holds his temper. And Bernice Larsen. Because she invariably thinks about things when they occupy her thoughts. Because she has accepted the name "Sadie" with good grace. Because she has claimed that un¬dertaking is a dead business. Because her hair looks like honey (it's always nicely combed). And Clyde Buehler. Because he claims that If you can't drive with one hand you can always stop. Because he has been quoted as saying: "A friend in need is what most of them are." Because he believes that "saw horse" is the past tense of "sea horse." Because he says that it doesn't take a musician to play the contra¬band. —Audrey Clark, Reporter. CARPE DIEM And now it's all planned. The in¬itiation will be the best ever! We are certainly going to do our duty with these girls. All our pledges proved the ac¬ceptance to the club by wearing a green tie yesterday, so they are now officially and constitutionally members of the club. May Kern, Alta Byrne and Ber¬nice Larson will be affiliated with a spiirt known only to Carpe Diem after Friday night, November 2. —Lyzena Payne. RUMORS It is rumored that: Sponsors will soon be announced probably next week. Our longed-for quarterly is now ready for distribution next Friday. HARMONY HOWLS O. H. S. quartet will sing at two Republican rallies, one Friday, in West Warren, the other Saturday in Huntsville (Dave's country). They are practicing the "Laugh¬ing Song," by Franz Abt. For this reason, the singers should be very happy, should they not? JOIE FRANCAISE The French club, under the di¬rection of an able advisor, Mr. St. Hilaire, is recommencing this year with plenty of enthusiasm. After our first party, we have settled down to business, and at last meet¬ing plans were suggested for the future. It was decided to model our society after the great French Academy, whose members, world famed, will live in memory for¬ever. The members of the French club are to each hold a seat in "La Petite Academie" and devote time to studying some great French art¬ist, poet, or novelist and dramatist. But all our time is not taken up by studying—we have other plans for snappy good times, and plenty of them! Just watch us! ZETA PHI XI Regular meeting of Zeta Phi Xi c was held Wednesday, October 31. The order of the day was called for, and then, due to our most efficient committee, composed of Audrey Clark and Lorna Crockett, we enjoyed a delightful program, Blanche Heed, high school's noted songstress, gave two solos, while Ralph Peterson presented us with two of his favorites. A clever one-act play, given by Elsie Wheelwright, completed the program. Lest we forget (for really this is the most important) Zeta Phi Xi has elected two new pledges, Shir¬ley Halverson and Clarissa, Gould, —Alice Emmett, Reporter. HAM AND If all goes well Ham And will soon have a transmitter. With a transmitter conversation could be carried on with other schools. This would help to advertise our school. Television will soon be practical and with adequate receiving and transmitting apparatus, Ogden High could be one of the first schools to have a television system. We are in need of a few ener¬getic members. Investigate our meetings and get the spirit. —Harold Holmes. BY EXCHANGE From coast to coast, from sea to sea, we have received school publications marked "Please Ex¬change." I'm right when I say sea to sea for we have a maga¬zine from Schenectady, N. Y., one from Los Angeles, Cal., and another rom Portland, Ore. THE COLOR SCHEME Voice over the phone—Is this the hosiery department? Tired salesgirl—Yeh, what is it V. O. T. P.—Have you any flesh- colored stockings in stock? T. S.—Yeh, whaddy want, pink, yellow or black?—Judge. Mon. Nov. 5th OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 RUTH ZUPPANN, Editor Protem DID YOU NOTICE? Adorning our east bulletin board is our new "news box," all dressed for service. Thanks, Mr. Stewart, the box looks lovely. Drop all your literary ventures in the box. Per¬chance some future Brisbane or O. Henry will be discovered through our news box. SPONSORS NAMED They are all chosen. Now the students, especially girls, shall be able to settle back into routine school work and teachers' voices, hoarse because of calling for order, shall have the opportunity of hearing. Shall I name the spon¬sors? They are: Margaret Ellingson, colonel; Louise Jay, lieutenant colonel; Lorna Croquette and Vir¬ginia Rose, major adjutants; Mil¬dred Purdy, company A; Elizabeth Nye, company B; Dorothy Wallace, company C; Jeanette Morrell, com¬pany E; Louise Emmett, company F; Edna Maw, company G; Audrey Clark, captains of the band. UNIFORMS Uniformed girls shall soon be as numerous as the sands of the beach. To be certain, the sponsors in khaki and Sam Brown belts, will soon breeze through our halls. Girls who play in the band, will appear in their costumes also. Tau Eta Nu and Phi Lamba Tau plan to blossom forth in the latest crea¬tions. CONGRESS MEETS There will be a meeting of con¬gress this evening at 7:30 o'clock in room 103. A special speaker' will be present. All girls are in¬vited. CAFE CONFESSIONS Said Miss Mealiff: "We don't dare serve cabbage or onions any more. We are afraid someone may comment on 'the odors issuing from the cafeteria'." However with these dishes removed from the menu, you can still find much tempting, palatable "chow." GYM JIMMIES At the present time, the gym¬nasium classes are studying cor¬rective methods. As soon as this work is completed, the girls will practice basket ball and tennis. It is planned that the Girls' associa¬tion will sponsor girls' teams in bas¬ket ball in order that interclass games can be played. This will be the first time in many years that Ogden High has had girls' ath¬letic teams. GAMMA KAPPA Yes! Gamma Kappa is still wide awake! We have decided to hold a snappy party November 9. This will be the first party the club has given thus year, and it promises tc keep up the enthusiasm in Gamma Kappa. Imagine members depart¬ing in cars for a treasure hunt' Doesn't that sound exciting? A1 Gamma Kappa members are eagei for the coming of next Friday night. Our plans for this year ar enormous. We have very capabh members, however, and with tn continuation of their spiirt of pep this promises to be a banner yea: for Gamma Kappa. —Frances Purrington, Reporter TAU ETA NU President Woolley called our meeting to order, then we pro¬ceeded to discuss costumes, which we have now decided upon. We plan to hold our meetings every other week in Miss Evans' room, and one night a month at the! girls' homes for entertainments. Stop! Look! Listen! No, it's not a November 15. Florence Stephens, Reporter. Tues. Nov. 6th OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 RUTH ZUPPANN, EDITOR "True confession may be good for the soul, but it's darn hard on the reputation." —From "The Patsy." HIGH SCHOOL TALENT Never did it occur to me, until I read a list of programs for Sun¬day, how important the high school talent is to Ogden. Five names of O. H. S. students appear on those programs. Altogether, the selec-tion would make a varied and com¬plete program. Blanche Heed sang for the Fourteenth ward, Verla Raty gave a clever reading in the Third ward, Junior Lindquist, a violinist of excellence, played in the Eighth ward, where Verna Taylor also entertained with one of her interesting readings. Miss Irvine read for the Tenth ward a one-act play such as only she can read. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to our Hall of Fame— Rema Heiner, because we'll all admit that Red Heads have the ad¬vantage. Because of popular de¬mand. Because she wonders why Grace wears such a knowing ex¬pression while signing excuses. Be¬cause she never loses her temper (unless Le Grande is more than an hour late). And Bill Reeder, because he can't see why Kent calls her "Evanston." Because he is quoted as saying "a man must take his chances." Be¬cause he can't understand why the woman always pays (it has not been so in his experience). Be¬cause he invented the phrase "We have met the enemy and they are ours." And Lyzena Payne, because it is her secret ambition to be a Sunday school teacher. Because she is so high minded that she can't see why little stars twinkle like diamonds in the sky when they know they are not diamonds. Because she invent¬ed the pharse "Silence is Golden." Because she has the best seat in English (especially for sleepy peo¬ple). —Audrey Clark, Reporter. DRAMATICALLY SPEAKING "I heard a crash like all the chandeliers in the house were fall¬ing. I ran out and saw a man dis¬appearing down the stairs." Did the robber take the chandelier? This mystery will be solved November 15 in the Central auditorium. Don't forget our one-act plays, stu¬dents. Under the excellent direction of Miss Irvine, "The Patsy" is mold¬ing itself into a very acceptable form. Hard work and no play makes rehearsal a dull part of the day, so Eleanor cuts up capers every now and then to relieve the tension. ALUMNI NOTES George Coolidge and Jack Rey¬nolds will graduate from West Point this year and Ross Sampson is in his second year. Pearl Westemeir, who won the Thompson Menoris scholarship in 1927, is attending the University of California, and is studying dili¬gently, preparing to be a teacher. She is a member of the girls' Masonic order under supervision of U. of C. and on the staff of their paper. Bob Folkman is studying medi¬cine at U. of C. and Earl Rushmer graduates this year in optometry. In addition to Fay Hopkins, Will Hutchiens, Helen Grace and Mabel Reynolds are Thompson scholar-ships alumni at U. of C. EDUCATION WEEK Adopt this slogan "The best qualification for American citizenship is broad mastery of the tools of learning." Remember, this is Edu¬cation week, a week set aside to plant into the minds of the people the necessity and value of educa¬tion. CONCERNING OUR BAND Girls of the band officially ap¬peared in their new uniforms Mon¬day morning. These costumes are of khaki. They are neat pleated skirts and jackets to be worn with a white waist and tie. To be cer¬tain, the "band girls" are very trim and sweet in their new uni¬forms. Hy Lammers, efficient director of the R. O. T. C. band, explained briefly how his band was conduct¬ed. This explanation told also why '.he band is in such excellent form. Hy says: "To properly conduct the band, I must have immediate results. Some teachers can give' their students next year to learn the work, but I must have every note correct every time. If I call my pu¬pils down, who benefits? They do, of course. Sometimes it takes rath¬er strenuous language but I get re-sults." I'll tell the cock-eyed world he does. HAM-AND CLUB The best meeting held so far this year was last Thursday night. New officers were elected for the year and now Ham-And has three li¬censed amateurs. You know we talk to any Ham station in the United States, so if you have any messagees bring them in. We expect to have a station at school before long. 73's OM Cul. —Bob Schatz. RABBI WILL SPEAK As a part of the Education week program, a special assembly will be held at 12:45 o'clock tomorrow at which Rabbi Samuel F. Gordon of Salt Lake will speak on the sub¬ject "Racial Prejudices and Edu¬cation." This address was delivered over the radio on Sunday and Princi¬pal Merrill considered it of such outstanding merit that he invited Mr. Gordon to repeat the address before the school assembly. The school principals of the city are the specially invited guests at this assembly. Anyone interested in hearing the rabbi on this most interesting sub¬ject will be welcomed to attend. The male quartet will sing two numbers. Also, at this same as¬sembly Howard Tribe, an alumni and Harold Felt will play a violin duet. Wed. Nov. 7th OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 RUTH ZUPPANN, ACTING EDITOR. HOLIDAY PROCLAIMED No school Monday, students. How grand! We are free to cele¬brate Armistice day as we see fit. FORUM The main feature of Forum's meeting Monday night was a de¬bate among some aspirants for the waiting list and club membership An unusual element of this debate was the unequal division of teams. The affirmative of the question, Resolved. "That the jury system be abolished," was upheld by Mr. McConnell, Mr. Earle and Mr. McKee. The negative was upheld by Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Stewart. The result of the verbal sortie was that the negative romped off with the decision. Again the juniors score. In a special meeting Mr. Wat- tis, Mr. Noblitt and Mr. Jackson were voted into Forum. Congratulations. —Tilliman Johnson, Sec'y. CARPE DIEM We've had a marvelous initiation and now Mary Kern, Alta Byrne and Bernice Larsen are our regu¬lar members and real Carpe Diem sisters. The initiation was held at Jean¬ette Morrell's home on Eccles ave¬nue. Our emblem and the usual red roses decorated the living room. Covers at dinner were laid for the members of Carpe Diem and the two special guests, Mrs. |
