Show she asked to be nominated; because she'll tell even her best friends. And Marion Clark. Because she bites her nails in order that she will get her iron daily; because she threatened to tell one of the re¬porters most profound secrets if she was not nominated; because she wanted to know if her gun would "buck" in Phi Lambda Tau target practice; because she in¬vented the phrase, "There's many a slip 't'wixt the cup and the lip." CENTURY CLUB Tou have not heard of us before but we have been very busy getting our club organized. This club was organized in our English clasS for the purpose of creating good fellowship among the students and for the betterment of the oral language. We get our name from "The Cen¬tury Handbook," the book we are using. We have our meetings every two weeks, where we discuss many in¬teresting topics such as: Parliamentary drills, debate, talks of authors, books, current events, cus¬toms and manners, after-dinner speeches, speeches of presentation of gifts, acceptance speeches, etc. There have been two elections of officers and another is coming up soon. We have election often so that all students will have an op¬portunity to participate in class leadership. A chosen committee wrote our constitution and bylaws. With the help of our teacher we are getting along fine and hope to progress further. -Naomi Badger, Reporter. TUES, NOVEMBER 27 NICE PARTY Socially speaking, the Thanks¬giving dance was a huge success. The committees carried out their assignments perfectly and the Ju¬niors can rest assured their debut was well received. The decorations were original and added much to the dance. A noticeable feature of the dance was the representation of the alumni. They are always welcome and our parties are theirs. DRAMA DOPE Several new plays have been cast in the dramatic arts class. "Coral Beads," "A Rich Young Lady," and "Solemn Pride," a costume play of the early nineteenth century, have been cast. This group plus the cast of "Thursday Evening," will begin rehearsals immediately, that the best may be chosen for the next one-act series. MUSIC MEMORANDUM The music department is considering the presentation of a Christmost cantata. The very beautiful one by A. R. Gaul, "The Holy City," may be chosen. Wednesday night between 9 and 10, the high school music depart¬ment will broadcast from KFUR. Part of Schubert program will be given. The second part will in¬clude jnstrumentp and vocal solos, duets and quartets. Everybody tune in. CHATTER AND CHAFF Have you noticed the graduation announcements in the trophy case yet? The "Midnight Son" seems to have undergone a total eclipse. Tomorrow's assembly is in charge of seniors. An appropriate program is being arranged. Now we hear of the student who uses different colore of ink to rest the teachers' eyes. "If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it," says Fuller. "Go ahead, but don't let me catch you," says Dave. ATHLETICS OR NOT? One of the greatest problems be¬fore the school officials today is that of athletics. The question arises: Does not athletics hinder the school rather than benefit it? We can be confident that no high school student would vote against athletics, but the older people— what do they say? Many we know oppose athletics. Why? Is it that they think their offspring are so much weaker than ourselves that they cannot stand a bump or a bruise, or is it that they have for¬gotten the joy of their schoolhood days? It is certain that athletics help the school spirit. What is more inspiring than to see a com¬plete student body backing the team with all the vim and vigor it possesses? So we ask that our athletics not be taken away, and that those who would wish this remember the old proverb, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." JEANET MANNING. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Please answer the following quea- j tions fr me, will you? I am very I curious to find them out. No! The cat hasn't been killed yet. I would like to know: Who manicured Warren's finger¬nails ? When we are going to find out that Evanston is different from Og¬den? Who Keith would really pick if he had a sponsor? If high will have more pep at the basket ball games than they did i at the football? Why the colonel prefers blondes? If Clyde likes the name of "Pat¬sy." Why Oswell and Louise never quarrel? Why Jim wanted to take Span¬ish? If some of the students will ever find out they're in high school, and are there for a purpose? Please re¬mit. "KABWERMELNLT." Dear Kabwermelnlt: The cat's dead now. AUNT JANE. ETCHINGS ON EXHIBIT A group of ten colored etchings by J. T. Harwood, head of the art department at the University of Utah, are on display in the Ogden high art room. They represent work which he did abroad the past summer. WE, TOO The high school, too, has been struck by the "flu." About ten per cent of our students are absent daily these days. Yesterday we missed also three of our teachers, Mr. Abplanalp, Mr. Kapple and Mrs. Blackham. If we may judge we would say also that about two or three other teachers should have been at home in bed. Moral: Take no chances with the "flu." APPOINTMENTS MADE It is the pleasure of the staff to announce at this time the selection of two permanent reporters for the News. Audrey Clark and Robert Allison have demonstrated consist¬ent ability in this work and they are the lucky appointees. Another appointment of import¬ance is that of Edna Irving as typist. Indications point to the fact that Edna will perform her du¬ties proficiently. When a few more details are talfen care of, the News will be a-humming. OUR TEACHERS In order that students of Ogden High school may become better ac¬quainted with their instructors, we have decided to print a biography a day. We will begin with J. W. j Connell. Mr. Connell is a graduate of the U. A. C., class of 1917, on a B. S. degree, majoring in mechanic arts. Mr. Connell taught two years in Paris, Ida., before coming to Ogden High. He made oak furniture in 1915 which was exhibited at the world's fair in San Francisco, and which is now on exhibit at the state capitol. Mr. Connell works during the summer to get building trade and drafting experience. He worked on the drafting department of the federal bureau of roads one summer. In the November issue of "The Building Age," Mr. Connell has an article on simple room con¬struction for concrete forms. With a teacher of this type in the me-chanic arts department, one can readily account for the success of our students along those lines. —Robert Allison, Reporter. RIFLE TEAM Sergeant Holloway is looking for a bunch of "huskies"—fellows who are capable of holding the rifle steady in firing from the standing position. He says that there arc plenty of the smaller (in stature) fellows who come out for the team. These are able to fire steadily the firts two positions (prone and sitting), but when it comes to the latter two (kneeling and standing) they become quite unsteady. There¬fore, if there are any R. O. T. C. fellows who are husky and have enough stamina to fire under difficulties, they should try for the team. NOVEMBER 28, 1928. OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 FOR JOY For each and every joyful thing, For twilight swallows on the wing, All that rest and all that sing— For fountains cool that laugh and leap For rivers running to the deep, For happy, care-forgetting sleep— For stars that pierce the sombre dark, For morn, awaking with the lark, For life new-stirring 'neath the bark— For sunshine and the blessed rain,[ For budding grove and blossing; lane, For the sweet silence of the plain— For bounty springing from the sod, For every step by beauty trod— For each dear gift of joy, thank God! —Florence Earle Coats. THANKSGIVING SAYINGS. Ab Guy: "I'm thankful for. Thanksgiving." John Carver: "When I eat, I feast.” Don Chambers: "Fill 'er up and I'll see you at the game." O. H. S. Students: "When do we eat?” Coach Kapple, Ed and Willis, Dave and Ernie, and Frank Ober- hansley: "Yea, Aggies!" Mr. Robins, Ralph and Dave Peterson, Mr. Coray, Mr. Abpla¬nalp, Mrs. Blackham and Miss Franke: "Yea, Bo!" Bill Reeder: "No, thanks, one's plenty for me." (One turkey). The Boys: "Watch us celebrate." The Girls: "Same here!" The Staff—"Thank goodness!" CAGE CALL MONDAY. Get a suit of some kind and a pair of shoes and bring them to the athletic room Monday at 3:15 o'clock (boys only). That is Coach Kapple's initial call for cage candi¬dates and so it won't be long now until tle five will be tearing up and down the gym floor. ART ATTAINMENTS. Cover for the Christmas issue of the quarterly is being made by Blaine Drake. More anon. Plaques of dancing girls are be¬ing made by the girl students. Batik covers for pillows are be¬ing made by several girls. A leautiful peacock with tail, full-spread, has been made by Lillian Jones. Phyliss Frederickson has painted a large butterfly for her pillow. Leah Farr and Dena Liapas have also finished very beautiful nllow tops. PLAY PRODUCED. "Nevertheless," a clever one-act play, was presented by the dra¬matic arts class for the Service Star legion Monday, at Mrs. Mark Brown's home. The cast includes Verna Taylor, Bob Parks and Royal Harrop. CONGRESS. We Senators believe in getting prepared for our debates, so last Monday night we studied how a de-bate should be properly given. We also discussed .the method that should be followed in collecting ma¬terial for the benefit of our waiting list and also as a review for us. At the end of the meeting Donna Manning, one of our alumni members, gave us a very interesting talk on her experiences during the last month. We have not yet filled our membership and we guarantee to make anyone who is interested a good debator, so all you juniors (and seniors, too) who are interested are welcome to enjoy our meetings with us. We meet in room 103 o.t 7:30 o'clock Monday rjights.—Ruth Roberts. FORUM. When Forum met Monday night, we intended to hear a debate on the question: "Resolved, That the five-day week should be adopted in all industries." The debators, however, seemed to think that it would be more appropriate to argue who used the brief most in preparation of their debates. It was finally decided to render a decision on the first question, the members decided in favor of the affirmative by using the English system. The wranglers for the evening were Mr. Norback and Mr. Corry supporting the affirmative, squab¬bling with Mr. Aiken and Mr. Cartwright. HY WILL LEAVE US. Fellow students: What will be¬come of our wonderful Ogden High band? Hy Lammers is going to leave us and go to Salt Lake. The band, to show their respect, is giving a farewell party in the Hotel Bigelow on the night of the twenty-eighth. Let us all wish Hy the best of success aijd give him a grand "send off." Although we are going to lose our wonderful instructor we are still going to try for that trip to Denver. —Forest Griffin. THE ASSEMBLY. Ogden High school students were entertained today by an assembly given by the senior class. The main speaker for the event was Samuel G. Dye, who gave a wonderful talk on Thanksgiving. The musical numbers for the event were fur¬nished by the Ogden High school band, which played two delightful numbers. Two mirimba solos, which captured the earnest listen¬ers, were played by Carlo Bevero. The senior class had long been working on this assembly, and the result more than paid them for their efforts. AUNT JANE. Dear Aunt Jane: Does it hurt a girl's reputation to flirt even if it is ever so slight? Is a girl justified in flirting with a boy if that's the only way she can get acquainted with him? A Daughter of Eve. Dear Daughter of Eve: It certainly hurts any girl's repu¬tation to flirt. Even a little bit of coquetry with strangers is enough to brand one. Don't do it. If. you want to get acquainted with some fellow, ask someone to introduce you. He'll tliink much more of you if you don't try to vamp him. —Aunt Jane. FRI NOVEMBER 30 LETTER MEN Following one of the most suecbssful seasons in the history ofi freshman football at the Brigham Young university, thirty-four Cougar kittens were awarded their first letters. Glen "Wilky" Wil¬kinson and Smith Jacobs, former Ogden High students, are among the gridders who will soon be sporting a "Y." Congratulations, men! COFFEE CLUB "Mrs. Newcomb's Coffee club" is in existence, although there has been nothing in the News about our meetings. This club includes as its members all English students in Mrs. Newcomb's advisory class. This club was started to encourage the use of good English and the reading of wholesome literature. Our meetings are held every Fri¬day during the second period. Talks are given by "the students at each meeting. Drills in parlia¬mentary law are also taken up. This club has energetic members, and we are sure that we'll all benefit by our activities. By the way, no coffee is served. —Elroy McGregor. HARMONY HOWLS The Christmas cantata has been chosen. It is "The Holy City," by A. R. Gaul. Arrangements are be¬ing made to have it presented on Wednesday evening, December, 19, in the Central Junior auditorium. The O. H. S. orchestra will play for the presentation. The public is invited. Parents are especially re-quested to some. There will be a small admission fee. The opera this year may be chosen from among Victor Herbert's work. Some suggest "Chocolate Soldier" or "Hello, Havanna." They's both clever and different from the usual. BOYS' GLEE CLUB Last Friday q,nd Monday the club held a business meeting. The sub¬ject the club has been working on for two months has finally been solved. The sweaters will be made and then sent to us. It will take about one month. The colors will be dark blue, trimmed in white. There will be a clever monogram placed on the left pocket. The constitution of the club was read. There were a few correc¬tions made. It was then approved by the club. Mr. Peterson suggested that a new name be given to the club. The fellows arc hard at work, try¬ing to find an appropriate name. AUN TJANE Dear Aunt Jane: What shall I do? I've only one good tie, which is green. My best girl, with whom I have a date, is going to wear a green dress. What shall I do? PERTURBED. Dear Perturbed: That's easily settled. If you're broke, just wear your green tie. If you art/ Irish it will show your national spirit. Your girl must have Spanish blood in her veins. Better yet, it's near Christmas, so your color combination will be very effective. AUNT JANE. COUNCIL MEETING Council was called to order by President Corry, and the minutes were read and approved. The constitution of the Boys' Glee club was read and accepted by a motion. The constitution of the Travel club had been corrccted and was duly accepted. I-Wannan-O was given permis¬sion to have a party on Wednesday; Phi Lambda Tau will have a party on Friday, and Zeta Phi Xi will have one on Saturday. The discussion concerning the song and yell contest was finally terminated when a suggestion was offered to the effect that the con¬test should be announced in the ad¬visory groups. The committee was given full power, by a motion, to regulate the awards so that they would not exceed seven dollars. It was moved and seconded that Ogden High be given permission to enter the state debating contest, ine motion was carried. Miss, Wallace submitted the names pf three girls for scrap-book editor. The names were: Ruth Roberts, Virginia Keating and Mary Ethel Brittain. Miss Roberts was elected. A motion that all money in club treasuries be given to the school, treasurer was passed, and council adjourned. —Jeannette Morrell, Secretary. |
