Next Wednesday—Cantata. Friday, December 21—Holly hop, Quarterly, end of school. Every day—Something doing. PATSY PROGRESS If you hear Patsy exclaiming, "He loves me, he loves me," re¬member she's not referring to Clyde, but to Keith, alias, Tony Anderson. Now and then, Rebecca may begin to weep copiously. No, she hasn't bumped her head on the locker or lost her best friend. She thinks she's on the stage practicing "The Patsy." All in all, when any of "The Pat¬sy" cast acts as if they're out of their head or that they had just escaped their keeper, just recall that "The Patsy" is to be present¬ed December 14. in the Egyptian theatre, and see tomorrow night's News for an elaborate introduction of all the players. THE HOLLY HOP The plans for the Christmas dance are progressing but, boys, you must remember that time is also passing and that only eleven days remain in which to ask the girl of your dreams. The success of this dance is assured, and now all that is needed is the students' support. It is necessary that two hundred tickets be sold in order to avoid financial embarrassment. See you at the hop. OUR TEACHERS Ed Smith was graduated from the U. A C. in 1915 with a B. S. degree. His first position was principal of the high school at Grace, Idaho. Mr. Smith went to Grace and supervised the building and organization of the school be¬fore ho became principal. It might be of interest to know that the building burned down about two weeks ago. After serving eight vears at Grace, Mr. Smith came to Ogden to teach, arriving in 1923. He worked his way through college with research work. His problem was the effect of varying amounts of arsenic in the soil on plant life. The experiment covered a period of two years and several bulletins were issued on the data which Mr. Smith discovered. That the chemistry teacher has hopes for his classes is easily shown by the fact that all of his students survived his chlor¬ine experiments. It might be opportune to an¬nounce at this time that the seven new teachers at Ogden high who were interviewed in a previous se¬ries of articles will not be covered in this series. HONOR DUE Honor is due Miss Mealiff of the domestic science department and the girls under her direction who prepared the splendid banquet to the football boys. The girls who helped Miss Mealiff ift the kitchen are: Madeline Stringham, Naomi Armstrong, Ele¬anor Paxton, Ida Marriott, Gretty Higginbotham, Lucy Salisbury, Ma¬bel Wright and Clarice Bell. Girls who waited on the tables are Ruth Schuenman, Gladys An¬derson, Lucille Treseder, Leola Moore, Marjorie Miller, Modesta Williams, Alta Moyes, Lorna Crock¬ett and Helen Miller. The clever placecards for all the guests were cartooned by Jim Bur¬ton and Ray Jacobson and the names were printed on them by William Christie and Henry Mathiusis. AMATEUR RADIO Greetings by radio from the Ham And. As you read those words they probably would mean nothing to you, but to the isolated person or community they are a God-send. Imagine giving your "Merry Christmas" directly to the amateur in hot, steaming, equator¬ial Africa while you look out of the window of your station to icicles hanging from the eaves and snow on the ground! Perhaps none of you realize the important parts played by amateur radio in long distance cotamunication and relief work to stricken communities during times of hur¬ricane or flood. Never has amateur radio been found wanting. The recent West Indian hurricane was no exception. Ham And is an amateur radio club. We are striving hard to make radio operators of our mem¬bers and so far we have three li¬censed amateurs. J. D. M., W6DXM. QUARTERLY The Christmas number of the Quarterly will be out Friday, De¬cember 21. After weeks of labor the result will be shown to the public. The cover for the paper will be in the form of an old Christmas card and was drawn by Blaine Drake. MAY BE TRUE Legrande Stewart (on telephone) —Is this Rema? Rema—Yes. L. S.—This is Sten. May I call tonight? Rema—Sure. Where will we go? L. S.—Well, I'm broke. Rema — You have the wrong number. This isn't Rema. NO VOLLEY BALL The teachers have dropped their charming idea of a faculty volley ball team. This is extremely sad for us to report. We took the time and trouble to make a few timely suggestions and now all our labor is wasted. They are thinking of joining the Weber gymnasium. We refuse to make any comment or suggestion on this resolve, because it may be dropped by the time this is printed. However, we hope that they will pursue this bright idea to the finish. We need more muscular teachers! ASSEMBLY We sincerely thank Mrs. Ber¬tha Eccles Wright of Weber col¬lege for the very fine reading she gave us in Friday's assembly. It was very kind of Mrs. Wright to give us her time, and we surely enjoyed the reading. We thank, also, Misses Verla and Fay Seager, Louise Emmett, Rachel Meddoway and Frances Foster for splendid music. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Is the Christmas dance formal? BULL DURHAM. J Dear Bull Durham: The Christmas dance is not for¬mal, although the girls can wear their formal dresses. Boys should not wear tuxedos. AUNT JANE. Dear Aunt Jane: Does the basket ball team have a sponsor? If so, how is she choscn? I think a sponsor, chosen by the team, as inspiration and boost¬er, would help Ogden win the tro¬phies. ALBANY. Dear Albany: The Ogden High team does not Aave a sponsor. However, your suggestion is very good. Some eastern colleges and many high schools have adopted the plan of having the team choose some pep¬py, enthusiastic girl to wear the sweater and the letter. This spon¬sor sits on the bench with the players, Instilling in them school spirit and the desire to win. Talk your suggestion up about the school. I, for one, greatly ap¬prove of it. AUNT JANE. TYPEWRITING AWARDS Students who have won awards during the month of November: Underwood—Silver medal, Hel¬en Higginbotham and Margaret Durrant.

DECEMBER 11 "Man is the merriest species of the creation; all above or below him are serious."—Addison. SEE "THE PATSY" Seniors, juniors, right this way. Don't delay a single day Make arrangements so you may SEE "THE PATSY." Want to see a real good, play Which to sorrow and joy will make you sway A tip to the wise—I say ' SEE "THE PATSY." PATSY PRICES 1. Student body ticket. 2. Student body ticket and 25 cents. 3. Student body ticket and 50 cents. Note: All student body tickets will be honored at 50 cents for any seat. General admission, $1, 75 cents and 50 cents. SOME VARIETY We are ready to introduce a new form of entertainment for one day at least so that the leap-frogging, tag-playing juniors and handsome seniors can have something to re¬lieve the monotony of setting some Romeo on a fountain or pulling a sheik's shirt out while he is talk¬ing to his girl. Watch the News for further developments. HOLLY HOP Only ten more days until the Christmas dance. Yes, they are still selling tickets and will all of the good-looking girls there are around school—. The plans for the dance are almost complete and you can not afford to miss this hop of all hops. In fact, how any one can resist the tantalizing music of Olie Reeve's orchestra, especial¬ly under Christmas decorations, bothers even the most skeptical of persons. ABOARD THE BOAT When the Weber college football team boards the boat in San Fran¬cisco tomorrow that will carry them to Honolulu to play the McKinley junior college there will be 10 men among them who once gave their athletic all for Ogden High. Cecil Gealta, manager of athletics, and the following ex- Tigers have their passports: Ray Anderson, Jack Doxey and Elton Knapp, '28; Francis Hearn, Wal¬lace "Pete" Peterson, Joe Clapier, Dave Doxey and Gilbert Moesinger, '27; and Rulon Budge, '26. Jim Russell played for O. H. S. as a junior in '26, but he finished his high school career at Weber County High. George Williams, stu-dent body president at the Purple and White college, who was grad¬uated from Ogden High in 1927, will also make the journey. Quite a contribution, we call it. BASKET BALL Coach Kapple is drilling a squad of 25 basketeers in an effort to choose the courtiers who will perform for Ogden this winter. A pre-season game has been arrang¬ed with Bingham High school, to be played in our gym Thursday night, December 20. The Bingham Miners have made a habit of rep¬resenting their division in the state tournament, and they always turn out a fast, snappy team that is worthy of championship recogni¬tion. This year is no exception, so be prepared for a thriller. CLASS RINGS President Sampson of the senior class has received a notice that, due to a factory accident and the prevalence of sickness among the workers at the factory which is fill¬ing the order for our pins and rings, the shipment will be delay¬ed until about January 15 or 20. The company assures us, how¬ever, that the January delivery will be of the finest quality of work-manship and worth our waiting. STELLAE Stellae met at President Warren Wattis' home last Thursday and if you don't think it was some meet¬ing ask the goats who were initiat¬ed: Audrey Clark Lorna Crock¬ett, Bernice Larson and Jack G william. They were all good spoifs and took their medicine (ask Audrey) like regular stars. Don Chambers was chosen as a new member and our list will soon be complete. The next red letter day for the astronomers and astronomesses will be the night after the school play, when they take to the water in a big swimming party at the Weber gym. CHATTER AND CHAFF "The Patsy" is in town Friday night, be there and we'll give her a rousing welcome. It won't be long until the Christ¬mas holidays—better start pack¬ing a few books home and make a good impression on the folks. If Huber Earle is still in doubt as to the meaning of a "fruit rais¬er" (not razor), he'll have to ask Joe Bybee. Your last chance—if you forget, your card in the morning you'll go home for it. Captain Stowe (to buck private) —-Hey, rookie, didn't, you hear "about turn?" B. P.—No, what about him? See "The Patsy." FOR AERONAUTICS Great things are happening daily in aviation, but on Tuesday last, the council of O. H. S. made pos¬sible the beginning of the greatest asset toward the progress of avia¬tion since "Lindy" hopped the pond. It was the organization of a junior club, to study intensively aeronautics and to support the activties of the junior class and the student body. On Thursday, the sixth, our first take-off was made. Election of of¬ficers was held: Henry Aiken, chairman; Grant Morse, vice chair¬man; Horace Nebeker, secretary and treasurer; and Ben Cartwright, sergeant at arms. These with Dav¬id Mattson and Beecher McConnell comprise the charter member-ship. The society was made to function and our future achievements were briefly sketched. Mr. Robins, our advisor, made his initial appearance with the club; co-operation throughout the year is assured. — BEN CARTWRIGHT. GAMMA KAPPA One of the most Interesting meetings the club has ever enjoyed was held last evening. Former Mayor Browning was our speaker. Our program of study for this year is excavation and exploration. Mr. Browning told us of tombs of anoipnt kings, ruins of cities and pyramids of Egypt. We appreciate Mr. Browning's visit and. hope that
