JOIE FRANCAIS Just a few words to let you know that we, the girls of the French club, are still joyeuse and are doing all that is in our power to pro¬mote interest in the French ways and customs. We have decided to hold a party, full of original ideas, this Friday. This will be our second social and you may be sure that it isn't the last. Une, deux, trois, go! This is the spirit of Joie Francais. Now just you watch us. —Blanche Heed, Rep. AUTO MECHANICS Yes, we are still here, wide¬awake and making a very good rec¬ord of twenty-six major jobs and agent number of main ones. Mr. Hale, our new instructor, is working wonders with his boys. Once a week Forrest Griffin is seen out there putting the misgiv¬ing bolts and nuts In his "wreck." Bill Bonham is still fixing things so they will run (maybe), not¬withstanding things are working out at great speed. Watch for dust. —Forrest Griffin. WOODWORK WONDERS This year the enrollment in woodwork has increased consider¬ably. The following subjects have been Studied in class work along with ihe work in the shop: Woods, tools, construction, joints, shop sketching, shop layout and shop procedures. Many subjects are now under construction and will be ready for the finish soon. In a few weeks tho boys will start work on toys or Christmas distribution. Many boys are also working hard on the mechanical drawing work in our school. This subject is a "graphic lan¬guage" or a language of represent¬ing construction details of construction in a good class drawing. Pencil work, and blue printing are emphasized. Mr. Cornell. CHEMISTRY Nowhere else in the vast do¬main of natural science do we find a more interesting field than that. The lure of the beakers and Bunsens has attract¬ed more than 127 select students to Ed. Smith's chemistry classes this year and a pleasant acquaintance with Nature's treasure house is in store for all of them. Chemistry is the handmaid Industry and it his attached to it a fairy-like romance that stimulates the interest of the students and makes them eager to learn something about the world in which they are living. —By Rex Greaves. Halls and rooms vibrated be¬cause of it, shriek. Yes, the shriek caused by a "Robbery." Calls for help and screams were not to be laughed at, for a robber had taken all "Aunt Aldington's silver set." This robbery will be enacted No¬vember 15. in the Central Junior High school. Don't fail to see how the mystery works out. "You go to h---, "Go run your own errands." —From "The Patsy." Senior assembly, the liveliest, peppiest yet, will be given on the twenty third of this month. Plans as yet have not been made pub¬lic, but Just watch the seniors. Ogden High School News Thurs Nov. 8th Nov. 8 RUTH ZUPPANN EDITOR PRO TEM "If it wasn't for the rain there wouldn't be any hay to make when the sun shines." —From "The Patsy." SPECIAL ASSEMBLY In a special assembly Wednesday, the boys' quartet sang a clever number. Howard Tribe and Har¬old Felt, accompanied by Robert Lyons, played a pleasing violin duet. Mr. Merrill introduced our spe¬cial speaker, Rabbi Samuel F. Gor¬don, who spoke convincingly on the subject, "Racial Prejudices." The audience was held spellbound by Rabbi Gordon's excellent speech. As the last number the boys' quar¬ter sang another song. MUSIC STUDIES All the classes are studying Shubert's life and work in com¬memoration of the hundredth an¬niversary of his death. A word about his life and works might be interesting5 to students. Shubert, one of a family of 19, was very poor. His early life was not "one sweet- song," yet at the age of 16 he had written annd had published two sonatas. In quick succession appeared 34 minuets, many sonatas and two cantatas. So popular in the musical world was he that he became a director of an orchestra. About this time he wrote "En King," one of the finest music selections ever written. One of his musicales was produced in Vienna. It was a great success. He Wrote another, but he died before it was published. His friends pro¬duced this musicale to raise enough money to build a monument in his honor. Now, high school students plan to study his music. Special work of music appreciation will also be studied. It is rumored that during the week of November 19, a Shu¬bert program will be presented to the student body. All divisions of the music will, probably, be repre¬sented. COUNCIL REPORT President Corry called the regu¬lar council meeting to order and the minutes were read and ap¬proved. Miss Emmett of the club committee gave a report on the num¬ber of students enrolled in clubs in the school. On motion of Mr. Jackson, the report was accepted. Joie Francaise and Gamma Kappa were given permission to have parties on the following Fri¬day, and Stellae and Pallette and Chisel were given permission to have parties on Saturday. Mr. Bramwell gave a report on the expenses incurred by the Hal¬loween dance. His report was ac-cepted. It was moved and seconded to give I-Wannan-O permission to meet on Wednesday evening pro¬vided they have the consent of their parents and Mr. Merrill. The mo¬tion was carried and the club will meet as usual on Wednesday at half past seven. The play production class re¬ceived council's permission to pre¬sent three one-act plays in Central Junior hall on November 12. This will be sponsored by the Girls' as¬sociation. After some discussion council authorized Miss Wallace to write a letter of application for entrance to the State Journalistic society. It was moved and seconded that a commitee be appointed to see what could be done concerning the formation of new yells and songs. The members of the committee are Mr. Bramwell, Mr. Fowles and Mr. McCrumm. —Jeanette Morrell, Secretary. - DRAMA DATA "Te moriture salutamis," in other words, as Eleanor tells Rebecca and Lyzena, "We, about to die, sa¬lute you." The robber crept stealthily through the room, searched the ta¬ble drawer, then carefully slipped out. But he tripped and kicked the silver all over the floor. It awakened Edie. Then what hap¬pened? All will be explained No¬vember 15, at Central. ATHLETIC NOTES "Tigers" will play the "Infants" (Weber County High) Monday at 2:36 o'clock. This game is spon¬sored by the American Legion as part of the celebration for Armistice day. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC NOTES As an athletic feature of this year's program, the Girls' associa¬tion plan to enjoy the sports as the seasons progress under the di¬rection of Primrose Henson. Hik¬ing will be taken up first, then skating, skiing, tobogganing, etc. Tennis will be emphasized during the spring. Interclass teams in basket ball will be formed for games between classes or clubs. On Thursday next, a hike is planned by the Girls' association. For particulars see Primrose Hen- son or Mrs. Blackam. UTAH JOURNAL SOCIETY Ogden High has joined the Utah Journal society, formed by Dr. Merrill of the B. Y. U. There will be a meeting next spring for edi¬tors, business managers, etc. We are also considering the desirability of jointing the National Quill so¬ciety. R. O. T. C. R. O. T. C. and the band will march Monday morning in com¬memoration of the signing of the Armistice and the end of the bit¬ter struggle. SPONSORS Sponsors will be announced Fri¬day in assembly. They will appear in their trim, chic uniforms. ART ACHIEVEMENTS La Franz Stevens is casting a beautiful plaque of an eagle. Sev¬eral other plaques, mostly Indian heads, have also been made. Dor¬othy Martin has almost completed a stenciled scarf of black silk. Bertram Wappler has completed plans for a very beautiful home and is now sketching the exterior. Henry Jordon is painting a large sign for an Ogden furniture store. Several paintings in oil, of sun¬flowers, have been completed.

SECONDS PLAY DAVIS Ogden seconds defeated Davis seconds in a hard-fought contest Tuesday, 6 to 0. Pantone made the only touchdown, in the second period. This was the diglings' fourth victory this season. They have suffered no defeats. THRIFT THOUGHTS Two hundred fifteen students de¬posited $96.75, an average of 45 cents each* At this rate each of these students will have $26.20 in the bank at the close of school next spring. TO OUR CONTRIBUTORS Dear Contributors—Let me thank you for the response you have given my plea for material. It is a pleasure to find so many stu¬dents interested in makine: the l notes a success. Just one sugges¬tion, however, do I wish to give those who write for the notes: Unless poems, stories, notes, etc., have a direct bearing on the high school or its students, this material can not be used. The notes are cramped for space. Please don't forget that all notes, poems, stories, anything about school are desired. Remember our "box." —The Editor Pro Tem. CHOW TALK Rainy days should be welcome to Miss Mealiff for, as she says, rainv davs draw the greatest num¬ber of students to the cafeteria- ward. Excellent meals are served ror the cheapest price possible. If you don't believe me, go try "chow¬ing" at the school cafe some noon hour. Prices are low because the cafeteria is run for service to stu¬dents, not profit. CONCERNING QUARTERLY Four students have been named by Classicum advisors to try for the position of assistant business manager of the Quarterly. They are Bertram Wappler, Gray Rey¬nold, Jack Greaves and Grant Morse. From this group one will be chosen for the above-named po¬sition. Our book will soon be out. Friday Nov. 9th School News As we stand warily gazing out of the laboratory window, our eyes brighten as the sponsors swing into view out on the parade grounds. They are drilling intensively but they seem to feel rather well, in fact, almost better than their dis¬tracted instructor could wish. But they are rapidly learning military , tactics. Not one of them would dream of confusing a "right about face" with a "column left," and they have learned to execute a "column right" and remain in a straight—well almost straight— line. Their immobility and silence might be criticised by an experi¬enced soldier, but they do not ; seem to bother their present com¬manders. However, we love them, and think that Ogden High school has never had a prettier, livelier, or more clever group of sponsors. We are sure they are a decided credti to us. These girls were formally pre¬sented today to the, student body, and on Monday they will march in the Armistice day parade. —Katherine Cooley. CAMPAIGN OVER An epidemic of politics has been raging through the halls and in the history classes, but Wednesday it died a sudden death. Everyone has accepted the new officials enthusiastically, and the supporters of the losers have been good sports. This excitement was rather hec¬tic, and it seems good to be peace¬ful and settled once more. From all appearances, we are going to be very good citizens in a few years. —Katherine Cooley. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Don't forget the big Armistice day game with Weber High! The winning team will be crowned city champions, and we're out to hand the Infants a drubbing. The kick- off is at 2:30 o'clock and your stu-dent body cards will entitle you to a seat in the grandstand.—R. G. RALLY MONDAY Students of Ogden High are to meet on Washington avenue after the parade Monday for a rousing pep rally before the game with Weber County High. Students, turn out for the parade, the rally, the game. We want to and must de¬feat the Infants. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION Vocational committee of the Girls' association is making plans for the sponsoring of a series of one-act plays. Dorothy Wallace, chairman of the committee, says the Girls' association desires to use the receipts from the one-act plays to further their art gallery. Spe¬cial posters are being made to ad¬vertise these plays, Marjorie Farris, chairman of the publicity commit¬tee, announces. Tickets were to be put on sale this morning. If you desire one see the Girls' association secretary of your advisory group, or Elsie Wheelwright, chairman of the ticket committee. Price—25 cents. Place—Central Junior High. Time—November 15. I-WANNAN-O You ought to have seen who had the floor at our meeting Wednes¬day evening. No other than our honorable friends, Messrs. K. Mur¬phy, R. Greaves, M. Schoof and H. Armstrong held the center of tlidt floor. Sound off, baa. It won't1 be baa Friday, November 6, it willV be maa. The above named will be, Wannan-O's, provided they have he physical and mental capacity to withstand their entrance examination. Goat Greaves gave a very com¬mendable talk on the history of chemistry. Our party and initia¬tion for new members was dis¬cussed and from all indications a good time will be had by all Meeting was then adjourned and the host, Mr. Fowler, saw that the boys were served a fine lunch. Aft¬er this the Ogden High school song was sung as a parting hymn. —Oswell Jackson. PHI LAMBDA TAU At last, the red skirt gang has made its debut. I know all of you will agree with the prophecy we made in the quarterly. Remember the red is symbolical of "go get¬ters," and lots of "pep"; the black is symbolical cf deep, hidden se¬crets (to be known lafer). By the way—did anyone hear rifle report after ril'le report Tues¬day afternoon? Well, we girls were the cause of all the noise. It was our first shooting practice, and for some of the girls, the first time they had ever handled a gun. Mr. Hyde and Mr. Raymond supervised the work. The girls shot in relays of two, at a target which was 50 ffeet away. The highest score that could be made was 50 points. But our high¬est score was 34 points, and the lowest 11 points. That's not half bad for the first time, do you think? —Melba White, Reporter. CONGRESS Congress met last Monday in the student body room. We are pre¬paring for the Congress-Forum de-: bate, and so we had Mr. Monson1 from Weber college speak to us. There was a large number of girls there and these girls said tha.t they never learned so much in such a short time. From now on I think vye will improve our debating a great deal. Don't forget, any girl interested in debating is cordially invited to attend our meetings at any time. —Ruth Falck, Reporter. NOT AGAIN Can you imagine some respect¬able citizen sitting in the grand¬stand at a football game and being aroused or knocked from his seat by having a juicy lemon or an apple core cgme in contact wTith his neck? Whether you can imag¬ine it or not, you probably have seen it. That is what took place at the Davis-Ogden game, and it has taken place at many other games. Some students come to the game in their dress clothes, and are not attired to enter any species of vege¬table battle. Again, and more im¬portant than this, there are citizens (people who are in no way connect¬ed with the school) who come to the games for the purpose of en¬joying the game. Bear this in mind: No one is authorized to hurl missiles about the grandstand. Such conduct not only degener¬ates the character of those caught in the act, but always degenerates the standard of Ogden High school. We do not say that anyone will be expelled because of such an offense, but wre would like to ask The stu¬dents to be respectful enough for their school and for their own per¬sonal pride not to indulge in such entertainment. —Jack Norback. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Miss Ida Mae McGregor, a be¬ginning student in Mr. Farnsworth's typewriting class, has just won her first award. She received this award for writing at the rate of 11 words per minute net for 15 minutes. The department wishes to congratulate Miss McGregor on her accomplishment. TO AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane—When will your letter box be open for advice? We have some very important questions concerning society in school life. M.H.H. M. H. H.—It won't be long now! —Aunt Jane. |
