Show It was decided, if the weather permitted, that tne l-Wannan-O would participate in a novel stunt before the pep rally Friday night. Our party and initiation leatures were discussed but a definite date could not be decided. Mr. Murphy and M. Mchoot, our "plebes," gave two fine talks on chemistry in relation to medicine. These talks, and the talk of Mr. Greeves last week, exhibit the.spir¬it and talent of 'our new members. On motion of Mr. Jackson the meeting was adjourned.

Miss Mabel Reynolds is a member of Parliament, the wo¬men's honorary debating society, and she is on the publicity staff of the Little theatre, drama. Miss Hel¬en Grace, another scholarship stu-dent, is a student advisor, a mem¬ber of the store board committee (no small honor) and a member of the Rediviva sorority. Chester Zinn is president of the student body and Garff Wilson as we know is doing himself and Ogden high highty proud. Mrs. Camp, former instructor here, holds an honorable position as dean of readers. R. G. HAM AND Ham And is a distinct short-wave radio club. In order to communi¬cate with other "hams" and interpret short-wave messages , one must know the code. Realizing the im¬portance of this, we have set apart a little time at each meeting for code practice. Many opportunities are open to boys who can send and receive code. Many positions in foreign countries, on the sea, and in the air are offered to young radio en¬thusiasts. The outside world does not understand, as yet, why all this news about short-waves is impor¬tant, but keep your eyes open and watch Ham And and the short- waves. HAROLD HOLMES.

It is beyond the power of anyone to enumerate all of these opportunities, but it is easily within the sbilitv of us all to name one of them. So I do not hesitate to name the public library as one of the most universal of this almighty group. "To me and to you the library means opportunity in every sense of the word. We are invited to step i into her midst, to spend an hour j or so reading, referring, and learn¬ing; the doors are thrown wide open and it only remains for us to enter and enjoy the pleasant hospitality of such a great edu¬cational home. No matter how difficult it is to please me or you it is with the utmost ease that the library handles the assignment. It is the clearing house for all doubts that your mind might harbor; the research has been by others before you, to whom you are indebted, the dregs have been discarded and the cream of the problem is offered for your.-approval. Child and grown-up are provided for accordingly, and* no favorites are recognized. "To me, personally, the library is providing the tools with which I am equipping myself for a life work. It offers that much to any one who will take advantage of the fact, and for the person who can make appropriate selections from its great variety of sugges¬tions, a self-education is at hand. Books are the ever burning lamps of accumulated wisdom—put them to work for you and see what real¬ly workers they are; make their acquaintance and learn the mean¬ing of true friendship In the education of its people lies the safety of the republic. Certain the library is doing its part." Mon. Nov. 19 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 JACK NORBACK, Editor, pro tem. THE DANCE Four more days. It is strictly informal. Stags are not preferred. Starts Friday, 9 p. m., at the Berthana hall. Sponsored by the jun¬ior class. In view of these facts I ask you, "Who is not going?" Everybody's going! FOOTBALL The 1928 grid activities of the Orange Streaks terminated last Saturday in the Ogden-Box Elder tilt, they have played their last game. Insofar as the senior grlciders ire concerned the football season's lone, but Coach Kapple is think- ng of having the junior members )f the team play the juniors at Weber county high. By doing this the next year team will gain ex¬perience. Those playing the necessary quar¬ters to be eligible for a "letter" are: Captain Jim Francis, Rex Greaves, Frank Reed, Bob Parks, Bob Van Dyke, Carlyle Farr, Doxey Stone, Don Chambers, Ernest Tarran, Hugh Meyer, Les Meyer, Gordon Finch and Pete Scheutz. Ogden High school extends its gratitude to all of these and oth¬ers who have played so loyally for their school. The first call for basketeers will be sounded in the near future. THE BULLETIN Will the individual who took the lock from the locker on the main floor kindly call back and get the keys? The yells, "Give 'em the ace," and "There ain't no flies on us," have been eliminated because they show poor sportsmanship. "O" ON MOUNTAIN There was a fiery symbol on the mountain Friday night—"O" for Ogden. This fiery "O" was fifty feet in diameter and blazed from 7:15 to 7:30 o'clock. Thanks, Joe and Al¬bert. FORUM According to tradition, Forum has always held its meeting on Monday. Last week a holiday claimed Monday, but Forum held its meeting as usual—the custom being preserved. However, the regular business of the evening—a debate on the sub¬ject: "Resolved: That the presi-dent of the United States should be elected for a single six-year term," was postponed until tonight. The meeting was then adjourned. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Hetzel Stowe—Because he is quoted as saying, "Love is a dis¬ease carried by certain bugs—es¬pecially Ford bugs." Because we have been threatened by a certain, young lady if he is not nominated; because he cried out when he sat on a tack that he felt beneath him, and because he attributes his beautiful, pleasing voice to Lucky Strikes. And Lois Chambers: Because there is nothing, to our knowledge, over which she worries; because the absent-minded professor has nothing on her; because she has discovered that the surest and quickest cure for toothe ache is to turn on the gas and inhale deeply. Because she invented the phrase, "Better late than never"; and because she has such a sweet dispo¬sition. Because she invented the phrase, "Lend me your ears (or maybe it was "your compact"): and because she once said, “All the world loves a lover. AUDRY CLARK. Reporter.

BOY WINS PRIZE Rex Greaves, one of Ogden's football stars and sometimes edi¬tor of school notes, won the prize last week on the subject, "What the Library Means to Me." All students of the high school were eli¬gible for this contest and over 100 essays were submitted. Ogden has every reason to be proud of the school's football team. Although we did not win the re-gional prize the boys played good ball all the season and continued to improve all the time. On Sat-urday, we met the division's strong¬est team, aind were beaten bv chance, rather than play. All who witnessed the game, even Box Elderites, are willing to admit that we played them to a standstill. The Box Elder team at no time demon¬strated superiority. Everyone must be pleased and satisfied with the splendid showing the team male throughout the season. This is the one hundredth an¬niversary of the life of one of the world's greatest musicians, Schu¬bert, and in consequence his life will be commemorated during the week throughout the world by re-hearsing many of his great compositions of which he left more than a thousand. At the high school the assembly on Friday will be devoted entirely to the rendition of Schubert music, The public is invited to this assem¬bly. Tues. Nov. 20 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 RUTH ZUPPANN, Editor Pro Tem A FINE MUSICALE Madame Sturkoff Ryder, pianist and composer of international re¬nown, offered an unusual treat for high school students on Monday. Carefully and interestingly she ex¬plained the origin of the Various selections and then played them! with such skill and beauty as to hold the audience spellbound. First the Gavotte and Musette, then the beautiful D flat major waltz, the finest of Chopin's fif¬teen waltzes. Because the rhythm of the tango is so insidious and bewitchingly beautiful, Madame Ryder played one of the southern Spanish melodies, known as "Tan¬go in D," As a finale to the dance set, she played "Tarantelle." As a perfect ending for a per¬fect concert Madame Ryder told of j the old adage concerning concerts. It runs thus: "A perfect Concert is composed of three equal parts, the composer, who writes the music: the interpreter, who sets the mu¬sic before you, and the audience which receives it." Mr. Robinson, supervisor of music, said that because this was tin centennial anniversary of Schu¬bert's death, Madame Ryder would play a selection from Schubert's works. Impromptu in A flat ma¬jor won an instant and hearty re¬ception. Certainly, there was a no more ' beautiful program ever presented to the high school students. Mr. Merrill has promised us a Schu¬bert program Friday morning. DRAMATICALLY SPEAKING "Teacher" and her dramatic arts class wish to compliment the Girls' association on the splendid way in which it handled the-business part of the one-act play series. Let us congratulate the orchestra for the splendid music before the plays an 1 between the acts. It made tin evening run smoothly and aided greatly in the success of the plays. Because the plays proved so suc¬cessful both financially and enter-tainingly the class in play produc¬tion is planning another series which may include such interest¬ing plays as "Thursday Evening," "Florist Shop," "The Boy Comes Home" or "Coral Beads."
