Show cabin in the now almost deserted Ogden canyon and 'rougned it.” To people passing, our dancing must have sounded like stamped¬ing cattle; to us the dancing seem¬ed more like an Indian war rally. Just on the stroke of 11 an alarm burst forth (not a fire alarm), and Bob found the clock. After the feast, the tired warriors and Indian maidens went back to civilization and left Mr. Hyde to scrub the floor. —Melba White. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane—How can a girl be popular without being com¬mon or rowdy? X. Y. Z. Dear X. Y. Z.—Popularity comes from within. It's you, your per¬sonality, your character. Health, cleanliness, neatness, a bright smile, a cheery word, sympathy, all are requisites of popularity. Be a good sport, enter into the fun, be a good listener, and never, never insult people. You'll find that if you follow these things your per¬sonality will be magnetic. —Aunt Jane. Dear Aunt Jane—When is the next series of one-act plays to be given? What ones will they be? Will there be more like "Peggy" and "The Robbery?" I hope sO. —Theatregoer. Dear Theatregoer—The dramatic arts class wishes to present another series some time in January. It promises variation, probably mystery, comedy and drama. Glad you are taking «an interest in the one-act plays. —Aunt Jane. DECEMBER 6, 1928. "I owe all my success in life to having been always a quarter of an hour beforehand." LORD NELSON. ADIEU, ORPHEUM When the school play leaves its old home at the Orpheum theatre for its new one at the Egyptian, we will have to say goodbye to some of the old customs closely , associated with the plays of the past. For very evident reasons the "gallery brigade" with its danger¬ous firing squad will cease its storm of peanuts and hard-tack that has been such a popular pastime in other years and the "alumni corps" will not be able to present its lit¬tle "song and dance" from the left box, but there is nothing that will stop the old-time habit of filling the house. So when "The Patsy" makes her bow the night of the fourteenth; there will be a capacity crowd there to compare it with "Mary the Third," "The Goose Hangs High," "Seven Keys to Baldpate," "Clar¬ence," "Out of the Kitchen," and other stellar productions of by¬gone days—and they might as well come prepared to see the best of them all. CHRISTMAS DANCE The annual holly hop, given by the senior class, is to be held the twenty-first of this month. This dance is one of the outstanding events of the year and everyone is urged to attend. The admission will be one dollar per couple. The following committees have been appointed to act under the super¬vision of Eliot Sampson, president of the senior class: General chair¬man, Charles Dunn; tickets, chairman, Tillman Johnson, Keith Corry, and Jim Noblitt; refreshments, chairman, Rebecca Ririe, Os Jack¬son, and Louise Emmett; decora¬tion, chairman, George, Paul Blair, Kent Bramwell; programs, chair¬man, Lorna Crockett, Mildred Purdy, Lyzena Payne; gifts, chair¬man, Johnnie Carver,. Dorothy Wallace and Jeanette Morrell; pub¬licity, chairman, Rex Greaves, Bill Reeder and Audrey Clark; ad¬visors, Florence H. Newcomb and "Dad" Beeson. PATSY PLAYERS Mr. Harrington: Apples, potatoes, vinegar. What's this? Inspect Richard's pockets, or better yet— see ''The Patsy." Mrs. Harrington: Drip, drip, drizzle. Is that rain or a woman's tears? See "The Patsy." Grace: She phones and phones and telephones. Why? See "The Patsy." Billy: Guaranteed not to be the bat. See "The Patsy." Tony: Is he a "wop?" I'll say not. See "The Patsy." Sadie: Secrets. No telling. See "The Patsy." Trip: Sixty miles an hour is his limit. In love or in an auto, we ask you? See "The Patsy." O'Flaureghty: "We present you with this silver cup." For winning ' a race or flying the Atlantic? 'See "The Patsy." Patricia: Why do they call her "The Patsy?" See tomorrow's pa¬per. BAND TO MORGAN Superintendent Tippetts of Mor¬gan county schools has invited our famous O. H. S. band to play for the students and townspeople at the Morgan high school next Monday night. They are sending their buses to take the musicians to and from their city. CHATTER AND CHAFF Dean Ludden, the popular young man who fills his fountain pen at the postoffice, says that he has reserved the front row of the Egyption for the nigbt at "The Patsy." And now it is rumored that with the falling of the first heavy snow that the seniors and juniors will match their wits in a snowball bat¬tle. Is it true or are the under¬classmen afraid of getting their hands wet? ON INJURY LIST I wonder if the Crutch and Cruchette club is going to reorgan¬ize? Ted Jessop came to school this week with his left mudhook in a sling as a result of testing the weight of a moving auto and you can recognize Ted for the next four vlreeks, as the lad with wood¬en staffs. Sir William Schmalz and the Honorable Forrester Q. Griffin seem to find the radiator a pleasant place to park, especially with a companion. OUR TEACHERS Dave Wangsgard is a graduate of B. Y. C. high school and college, He has attended summer school at the U. of U. and the U. A. C. and has an A. B. degree. Mr. Wangs¬gard was on the state champion¬ship basket ball team for two years, and during one game to determine the state championship, he played on the guard line and led his team to victory by scoring 25 points out of a total of 27. Mr. Wangsgard taught and coached at both Lehi and Mt. Pleasant and was superindentent of schools in Malad be¬fore coming to teach at Ogden High in 1921. He is at present the head of athletics of the junior high schools of the city. We might also add that Mr. Wangsgard is a mem¬ber of the triumvirate from Huntsville. GRAPEFRUIT Who's heard that name before? It's Miss Irvine's name for her lit¬tle car. Gumdrop, also, is one of ]ts names. You see, the car was named Grapefruit because it spurt¬ed so and Gumdrop because it got so sticky when it didn't get its Sat¬urday bath. Can anyone think up another good name? If so, let Aunt Jane hear about it. ARE WE WILD? Ogden High school is a zoo and an insane asylum combined. It is queer, is it not, that the state authorities allow so many dangerous inhabitants to run free? They should certainly be confined to padded cells, as they are a de¬cided menace to civilization. A vis¬itor upon entering the renowned halls at noon time is in grave dan¬ger of forfeiting his worthy and honorable life. If he succeeds in gaining the top of the first flight of stairs, he should most certainly be given a Croix de Guerre. If he is then able to see, with the aid of a discolored eye or two, he is un-doubtedly impressed by the primi¬tive wildness. To right and left he sees female wildcats tantalizing the lord of the jungle. If one of them finally succeeds in luring him away from the others, she is immediate¬ly pounced upon by a dozen or so of her kind hearted sisters. Of- course, a horde of wild animals roar them on to a bloodv bnttie The sight bewilders our visitor, who rapidly seeks safety in the of¬fice. CONGRESS Congress had a meeting on Mon¬day night that we were all certainly proud of. Many extemporaneous speeches were given by members and our waiting list also took arf active part. We discusscd current topics and, from all appearances, we are all interested in these affairs of the world. We also discussed that mighty battle, the annual Congress-Forum debate. Nothing definite was decided upon, but it won't be long now! We still have room for a few live girls who wish to join us, and we extend a cordial invitation to any¬one who wishes to visit our meet¬ings. —Ruth Roberts. COUNCIL Council was held as usual on Tuesday with President Corry pre¬siding. The roll was called, and the minutes were read and ap¬proved. The constitution of an aeronau¬tics club, the Skull and Bones, was read and accepted with the provis¬ion that the name be changed. Amendments to the constitutions of Carpe Diem and Congress were read and accepted. It was moved and seconded to appoint a committee to arrange a standard by which all the clubs shall be judged, and those failing to qualify shall be eliminated. The committee, appointed by the presi¬dent, is: Mr. Dunn, chairman, Mr. Carver and Mr. Sampson. After Mr. Widdison had given a short talk on parliamentary pro¬cedure, Council adjourned. —Jeannette Morrell, Secretary. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please tell me to what social activities the captains should take their sponsors? Thank you. —"Curious." Dear "Curious": The captains take their sponsors to all the military events which take place during the year. You are welcome. —Aunt Jane. DECEMBER 7, "To love and win is the best thing; to love and lose the next best." —THACKERAY. MAYER CAPTAIN At the annual football banquet, Wednesday, Hugh Mayer was elect¬ed to captain the Tiger football team in 1929. Hugh is a powerful tackle and will instill a lot of fight into his men. Some of the men who will return next year to help Hughie bring the state champion¬ship to Ogden are his brother, Les, a center; Doxey Stone, an end who ran a very close second for the cap¬taincy; Bob Parks, and Jack Olish, halfbacks; Bob Van Dyke, full¬back; Junior Pantone, Jack Harbertson and Carlyle Farr, ends; Dick Horrocks, Sam Herscovftch and Delbert Jones, guards; Glen Judd, center; Gordon Finch, Pete Scheutz, and Darwin Van de Graaff, tackles; and Freddie Wil¬son, quarterback. These with ma¬terial par excellence from junior schools will give us a winning squad. THE REASON WHY Questions have been floating about the school asking why "The Patsy" is the name of the play. Certainly, the name Patsy could be applied, but why should "the" be prefixed to it? Patricia is the Cinderella of the Harrington fam¬ily. She is scorned by her sister, scoffed at by her mother. Only her father considers her fine, good, worthwhile; consequently, he tells Patricia that from now on she'll not be known as "the Patsy", who lives in the Harrington home but as Patricia, beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Does that solve the mystery of the name? If not, the play itself will answer your ques¬tions. CHRISTMAS HOP SOON Only fourteen days till the Christmas dance. Do your dating early. This dance is one of the best of the, year, and if you miss it you'irTJo yourself a great in justice. Juniors, the seniors have al¬ready got all of the good looking junior girls and the rest are going fast. What are you going to do about it? I-WANNAN-O I-Wannan-O meeting was held at the home of Charles Dunn Wednes¬day evening. Several members were absent, including our advisor, be¬cause of the football party or the flu. Nevertheless, a discussion was conducted on topics under consid¬eration and on the arrival of Mr. Smith and others, we passed to the regular order of business. A report on the initiation was given. The tie committee was given per-mission to purchase ties. After a few other matters of business the meeting adjourned to listen to re-ports and partake of some fine ice cream and cake. It might be well to say that the "Welcome brother" was administer¬ed last Wednesday evening. Mau-rice, and Hal, took the lizard soup, but Rex probably thought it need¬ed a little more seasoning. Any¬way our big dinner was complete in every detail. ART GALLERY NOTES As I wandered through the Og¬den high school hall of fame, I saw this group of statues repre¬senting the cast of "The Patsy." The images bore these ' inscrip¬tions: In memory of Rebecca Ririe, who sobbed her life away. In honor of Richard McKay who fought a battle. Lest we forget Keith Corry, who couldn't figure why every girl he could love was engaged, married or in love. In loving memory of Eleanor Stevens, who studied her lines so diligently that she wore her life away. May her memory live on, Lyzena Payne, who quarreled with Patricia until her head reeled. For the honor of Bernice Lar¬son, who so gracefully accepted the name of Sadie. To honor Charles Housley who finds "The Patsy" a clever play—a clever girl, too. For Walton Foulger, who got Mrs. Harrington's goat. For Kent Bramwell who stood, bravely, against the tirade of an angry Mrs. Harrington. ZETA PHI ZI Our meeting was held on Wed¬nesday, December 5. The meeting was called to order by Vice Presi¬dent Crockett and the minutes yrere read and approved. The order of the day was then called for. Our rapidly growing treasury was discussed and approved. Due to our most unanimous vote Ruth Roberts was elected to the club. (Lucky girl.) Meeting was then adjorned. (I tell you this was a very official meeting.) ALICE EMMETT. Mary Ethel Brittain. Because it is believed that she laid the cor¬nerstone for the Hillcrest drug store. Because she has her good points. Because she is always wringing her hands (her fingers are covered with them.) Because she has never said "because." And Jack Makin. Because he likes his coffee wild and his wo¬men strong. Because he says that if all men were born equal most of them got over it mighty quick¬ly. Because he has offered five thousand dollars to the person who can tell in less than five thousand , words why there is fuzz on a peach. Because he read Darwin's "Origin of Species" and it made a man of him. Mary Kern. Because once she had a permanent—long may it wave! Because the only thing she ever grew in her garden was tired. Because she declares that the rea¬son she was so late is because the rest of the class came too early. Bccause after winning the eating contest, she's been stuck up. Miss Irvine. Because she invent¬ed the phrase, "They shall not pause." Because she wonders why grapefruit is so often in the publie's eye. Because she is quoted as saying, "Be more enthusiastic, Keith. Open your mouth and irow yourself into it." Because le still goes to school to keep that schoolgirl complexion. Hod Nebecker, Because juniors dll be juniors. Because he is uoted as saying, "There ain't no Santa Claus." Because after swimling the Atlantic he had his picare in nine papers. Because he aid that if he had his choice beween Venus or Cleopatra he'd take arsenic. FAMOUS INDOOR SPORTS What do the students of the Ogden high school do during the lunch period? This is a question that might be answered in a variety of nanners. The actual eating of unch takes only a fraction of the ime of the student who stays at school at noon, and the rest of the ime is spent in indoor sports of nany kinds. One of the most popalar recreations among the girls in the gym where many find fun in staggering around to the tune the delapidated old piano. Another equally famous is the 'tag" game played by boys who seem to have an exurberance of vi¬tality. They seem to enjoy them¬selves immensely by tearing down staircases, slamming doors, knocking over idle students in the hall, and raising a rumpus in general. The gangs in the halls often fur¬nish many boys with the recrea¬tion they crave; that of a gang- fight similar to a football practice. Here they may give vent to their fighting instincts. A badly bump¬ed nose or a sprained foot is noth¬ing. This concludes about all the major sports, and, of course, there are a few minor ones like flirting, hand-holding, leap-frog, wink, rad¬iator straddling, hot-air absorbing (talk), handkerchief, hog-calling and spelling. The indoor sports are plentiful and no boy or girl can say there's nothing doing at noon time. BIG DOINGS Indeed we are still going and we surely have the pep. Sorry to say, our club is such an up-to-date club that three-fourths of the girls are laid up with the "flu." We have a big secret up our sleeves and it surely will be a "knockout." We will have to wait a while for the idea to mature but when it does---. JOIE FRANCAISE. Dear Aunt Jane: Please advise me on two sub¬jects: First. I am practically engaged to a nineteen-year-old boy. He gives me wonderful gifts. What under the sun shall I give him for Christmas ? He doesn't smoke nor drink. Second. I have a number of nice formal dresses and I can have one new formal dress besides my graduation dress. Please tell me for which dance I shall get my new dress. WONDERING WINNIE. Dear Wondering Winnie: A fountain pen and pencil set will please most any young man Desk pens, if yoir friend has a det or study, make lovely gifts. Booh, if they are carefully chosen ail appropriate, w ill be suitable. But best of all, a big box of caajy, home-made and daintily wrapped shows that you have taken time and thought in preparing the gift. Any of the formal dances would be a good time to wear Vpur re¬dress. The prom, the last big dance of the year, presents a good oppor¬tunity to bud forth In beautiful nv gowns. AUNT JANE Dear Buckie: Thanks for the poem. It has hq turned over to the person to whom it was dedicated. AUNT JANE. |
