Greaves, 963 Twenty- third street, won the prize offered by the Business and Professional Woman's club of Ogden, for the host essay on "What the Public Library Means to Me."

The points on which the essays were judged were: Content, 50 per cent; style, 25 per cent, and, spelling, punctua¬tion, grammer, etc., 25 per cent. The judges of the contest were: Mrs. Philip Warren Knisely, for¬mer critic teacher, Scouts Teach¬ers Training school, Madison, Wis¬consin; Professor Leland H. Monson, department of English, Weber college, and Miss Eveline Bean, librarian of the Carnegie Free Li¬brary. Mr. Greaves' essay reads: "When Abraham Lincoln memor¬ized the contents of the few books that he was fortunate enough to obtain in his day, this modern Utopia of opportunity was beyond his most dreams. When Andrew Carnegie immigrated to America as an orphan boy, It may have been his highest hopes, but it could hardly have been his ex¬pectations that he would someday chisel so splendid a monument to his name as he did. But he was coming to America, and it was not long until he realized it, and be¬gan working to pay the debt that he thought he owed his adopted country. DECEMBER 3, 1928.

TAU ETE NU Oh, those poor juniors! Ask Billie (Wilma) and Myrle. Tau Ete Nu held its night meet¬ing and social at Verna Taylor's home last Thursday evening. Two of the juniors were initiated and say, talk about embarrassing mo¬ments! We'll let them tell you all about it. After the initiation, games were played and a light lunch served to the members of the club and our pledge, Mona Forsha. HEAR YE! Oh, students of Ogden, we're asking of thee, Won't you please listen to the editor's plea? It's hard to be working with out any aid; These notes are quite diffi-cut, and they can't be self-made. On the bulletin board there's a box placed for you In which you can put all the things that you do. A wee bit of poetry, of gossip, or news. A question, a version, or whate'er you choose. Don't keep the box empty, there's plenty of sports And parties, and happenings— or, news of all sorts. So when Rex next visits the box in the hall, See that he finds some news there from all. NETTIE NEWMAN. CHATTER AND CHAFF We extend our thanks to Mr. Armstrong for putting a lock on the News box. This will encour¬age contributions and make more news. Lawrence Burbidge, the lefthanded soda squirt at Carr's drug, is recovering nicely from the ef¬fects of Thanksgiving celebrating and is now back at his old job of towel-throwing for the basket ball boys. The "Nocturnal Offspring," bet¬ter known as the "Midnite Son" is beginning to shine in its orbit again. The new bi-weekly dis¬penser of school news is now con¬ducting a subscription drive, and twenty cents will place you on the customer list for six weeks. Big hand of the "son" gang. Let's go! Only thirteen more school days until the Christmas vacation, so work hard while you may. Hod Nebeker is still collecting cash in payment for unpaid-for tickets to the Thanksgiving dance. It's a great life if you don't weak¬en, Hod. Did you bank today? Dave W. (in history): John, what can you tell me about the age of Elizabeth? John C.: She'll be seventeen next month. ATTENTION, CLUBS! The Ogden High School News is normally published five days a week. The days the clubs meet usually run together, and as a re¬sult the reports of these clubs all seem to come in on the same day. If the Notes are packed with club reports one night, and lacking in them the next, they will not be the best, therefore, we ask that the reports from the clubs be turned in on the days as follows: Tuesday—Forum and Congress; Wednesday—Joie Francais, Plu Lambda Tau and Tau Ete Nu; Thursday—I-Wannan-O, Zeta Phi Zi, and Carpe Diem; Friday—Stellae. Gamma Kappa and Ham And. Turn these reports in on time to Jack Norback or the News box. If they do not come in on time they cannot be published. HAM AND Ham And held its regular meet¬ing Thursday night. We were very glad to have two alumni, who were former members of Ham And, with us. These "hams" were Kent Reed and Don Giles, who have had quite a bit of experience in the radio line. And it all started in Ham And. We have our short-wave receiv¬ing set going now and with it the code is practiced. Bring a pair of headphones and a little pep and we'll make you a member. HAROLD HOLMES. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please tell me why the price of a high school dance is one dollar instead of say, 75 cents? I think if the price were lowered the attendance would be increased and there would be no going "in the hole." SIX-BIT SAMMY. Dear Six-Bit Sammy: The price of high school dances are one dollar because the rental price of the dance hall and the fee for the orchestra makes it neces¬sary to set the price so that the school treasury does not lose on the dances. If we set it at 75 cents the dance committee would find they suffered a deficit. If students are patriotic they will come to the dances whether the price is one dollar or 75 cents. AUNT JANE. DECEMBER 5, 1928. LEADER NAMED FOR O. H.S. BAND Hy Lammers Resigns Post To Take Up Duties In Salt Lake Ralph Peterson, head of the mu¬sic department, of the Ogden High school, will assume the directorship of the Ogden High school band at once, W. Karl Hopkins, superin¬tendent of the Ogden city schools, announces. Mr. Peterson succeeds Hy Lam¬mers, who directed the band for a number of years. Mr. Lammers' departure for Salt Lake made it necessary for him to resign. "It is with keenest regret that I leave the band." Lammers inform¬ed Superintendent Hopkins, "for I have learned to admire, and ap¬preciate the members:" DECEMBER 5, 1928. THE BOOMERANG When a bit of sunshine hits ye, After passing of a cloud, When a bit of laughter gits ye and ye'r spine is feelin' proud, Don't forget to up and fling it At a soul that's feelin' blue, For the minute that ye sling it, It's a boomerang to you. —Capt. Jack Crawford. THE NEW TERM Monday was the first day of the third term and, as usual, every stu¬dent was on his toes to get caught up so as to get a mark and not a dash, even though it be only a C-. The teachers have already been flooded with make-up work of all description. It seems that every student was full of ambition and pep, ready for anything. It is either the love for school or the results of the Thanksgiving holi¬days. After all, a vacation is beneficial for a person, and if the old saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," is true, there ought to have been some extremely fond students on Monday, and even more so after the Christmas holidays or when the "flu" students; return. —E. Mc. BANQUET TONIGHT The boys who have been work¬ing from 3:15 to t>:30 o'clock each night since school began will eat- their dinner on the board of edu¬cation tonight. Everything is in readiness for this annual feast and a memorable time is in store for the guests. BEAUTY SPOTS Christmas quarterly cover, which is being made by Blaine Drake, is to be an old coaph and four in six colors. Wait and see it. Batiks are very popular this sea¬son. A beautiful wall hanging of a ship has been made by Florence Jorgenson. Tied and dyed hand¬kerchiefs have been completed by Maurine Israealson. Marjorie Faris is making a beautiful silk scarf. Several students are making place cards for the footbaU ban¬quet. Ray Jacobson, Jim Burton and Verde Whittington are draw¬ing the cartoons on these cards. Patiently, as the hours trudged by. La Franz Stevens waited as the preparation for his plaque simmer-ed. Finally, as the paste grew stiff, he said, "Ah. the plot thickens." Students are making etchings in Christmas designs on copper. Linoleum block Christmas cards are being made by a number of the student's. Orders also have been received by the art depart¬ment from several faculty members or students. More orders will be gladly accepted. PATSY PROBLEMS "Miss Irvine, where's the phone? I can't find it," Lyzena called from the stage, as she hunted for the imaginary telephone. "What do you do with your hands? Mine get in my way," ask¬ed Richard. "I suppose," answrered Miss Irvine, "the best thing to do is leave them on your arms." "What is my next line?" asked Keith. "The one after the one before," answered Eleanor. POPULAR GYM Did you know that there is a controversy over the gymnasium? So popular has this place become that war threatens. The players who answered Coach Kapple's first call found "The Patsy" cast using the stage. As the singers in the cantata trouped m they found their auditorium had been seized by other parties. Please, Santa Ciaus, present Ogden High with a new gym and an assembly hall. We , need them. NEW BAND LEADER A new leader for the R. O. T. C. band has been chosen. It is the head of our music department, Ralph Peterson. A special meeting of all the band members was held Monday morning. Pep talks and speeches on co-operation were giv¬en by Superintendent Hopkins, Principal Merrill, Colonel Cunning, ham, Mr. Peterson and several members of the band. Cantata soloists have been chosen. They are: Gladys An¬derson, Blanche Heed, Dorothy Martin, Helen Miller, Keith Corry. Walton Foulger, Royal Harrop and Austin Malan. Members of the quartets and duets have also been chosen. They will be announced later. MOST POPULAR WOMAN The secret is out. The most popular woman at Ogden High school is Aunt Jane. Ask anybody. OUR TEACHERS Mr. Abplanalp is our bookkeep¬ing teacher and the head of our commercial department. He has a B. S. degree from the U. A. C. and has taught at- Ogden High school for seven years. He is school treas¬urer and is the teacher who col¬lects tickets at our games, even in snow storms. He says lie has the best classes in Ogden High school and is ready to prove it. Just this year machine bookkeeping is added to his curriculum and he is expect¬ing a large motor-driven machine to replace the present one, any day. This all goes to show that Mr. Abplanalp is not letting any improveemnts in modern bookkeep¬ing slip by him. Ogden business men are lucky in the fact that Ogden High is now able to turn out j excellent stenographers. typists, Burroughs calculator operators and machine or pen bookkeepers. —Bob Allison, Reporter. CARDS OUT FRIDAY The report cards for the second term will go into the hands of the receivers Friday. The teachers now have a better insight to their pupils and the marks should be more accurate than the first term's. Be they better or worse, it is a fast 12 weeks that we left behind and the first semester is but a few weeks from its end. FORUM Forum was called to order Mon¬day evening at 7:36 o'clock by the mighty knights of debate. All were present except the knight of the quick tongue, Tillman Johnson, who, it is rumored, has been van-quished by a fair maid from Salt Lake (down with East High school!) For one of the first times in history, Forum did away with a debate to discuss business. After duly reprimanding the Ioavly waiting list, meeting 'was ad¬journed to hold open discussion on Forum's annual assembly. Re¬member Forum's, former assem¬blies, O. H. S., and watch for this ore. —Charles Dunn. Forrest Griffin's mother: My son has many original ideas, hasn't he? Mrs. Newcomb: Yes, especially in spelling. JUNIOR HIGH PAPERS The "Blue and Gold," Central, and the "Pilot," South Washing¬ton, have come to us in full autumn splendor. They are the school papers of these two junior highs, and they have gained very favorable recognition by Ogden High's journalistic critics. The "Blue and Gold" appears in very neat print and is exceptional¬ly free from mistakes. The "Pilot" is a full-sized generous copy and its news is grouped under attracttive department headings. PHl LAMBDA TAU Thanksgiving holidays brought to us memories of the wilds that used to surround this country dur¬ing the first Thanksgiying. The primitive in us or the call of the wild was too strong for Phi Lambda Tau to resist, so Friday night we rushed up to a nice comfortable |
