that their actions not approv¬ed of by the school at large, and to show, if possible, how this reflects their characters. The business meeting was ad¬journed and Mr. Stowe gave a fine talk on scientific problems. Very fine refreshments were served and the members "called it a night." PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE Did it ever occur to you that a man's life is full of crosses and temptations? He comes into the world withoat his consent and goes out against his will, and the trip is exceedingly rocky. The rule of the contraries is on? of the features of his trip. When he Is little the big girls kiss him. If he is poor he is a bad manager; if he is rich he is dishonest, if jTe needs credit he can't get It: if he is prosperous everybody wants to do him a favor. If he is in politics it is for graft; if he is out of politics he is no good to the country. If he does not give to charity he is a stingy cuss; if he does it is for show. If he is actively religious he Is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in religion he is a hardened sinner. If he gives affection he is a soft specimen; if he cares for no one he is cold-blooded. If he dies young there was a great future for him; if he lives to an old age he missed his calling. If you save money you are a grouch; if you spend it you are a loafer. If you get it you're a grafter, if you don't get it you're a bum. So, what's" the use? Life if just one thing after another. TIE TRADE If you have a tie which is of the type given for presents, be sure to wear it Wednesday for the big "tie trade." This affair is to re¬lieve the monotony of having to throw snowballs down the hall. In order to trade a tie with someone you must ask him for it and it is yours. It will be out of place to trade ties during classes, so be sure you only trade in the halls. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane—Why is it that girls have to be so silly to have boy friends? Can't the girls, instead of cooing over the boys, just be friends with them? Is the reason boys don't take some of the girls out because they think they have to treat them to a big supper afterwards? Why can't, a sensible girl (and by sensible I don't mean one who is ugly or dumb or hard to dance with) have a boy friend or two and have a chance to go to a dance once in a while? Please tell me the answers to my questions. Thank you. —W. X. Y. Z. Dear W. X. Y. Z.—I'll try to an¬swer your questions. Girls don't have to be silly. Many serious, sensible girls have dates. Giddy girls only attract a certain class of boys. Certainly, you can just be a friend to the boys. I'm sure they desire and need real friends. I think boys sometimes fear the "big supper afterward," but you can easily prove you are not the gold-digger type. Sensible girls, if they are good sports and rather lively, can have dates. Many sensible girls have gay times. You are welcome. —Aunt Jane. DECEMBER 19 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 The fault, dear Brutus, is not with our stars but with ourselves that we are underlings.—Shakespeare. "HOLY CITY" TONIGHT The music classes are fully pre¬pared to present the oratorio, "The Holy City, tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Central Junior High school auditorium. Tickets are now on sale at twenty-five cents. Parents, especially, are invited to attend and enjoy this beautiful musical treat. The story is told by solos, quartet and chorus singing. The first part of "The Holy City" was suggested by the passages of scripture, "Here have we no continuing city, They kingdom come," and sets forth the desire for a high¬er life, as expressed in the words, "My soul is athirst for God," which desire is followed by other pas¬sages expressive of the perfection of the higher life. The second part was suggested by the words, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heav-en and the earth were passed away." Thus realizing the desire and promises contained in the first part. This is quite difficult to read and understand, but wait until you see it! This oratorio tells a story thaa you'll remember. We'll see you at the oratorio. HOLLY HOP Just two more days until the Holly hop and that means two days in which to get your tickets and dates, the most important be¬ing the date. As you all know, this dance is being sponsored by the senior class, which means the out¬standing social event of the year. Along with the spectacular beauty of the affair, there will be a Santa Claus, a Christmas tree, and vari¬ous gifts and tokens. Everybody is invited to attend and the senior class promises everyone a good time. School will be over and there will be not a single wrorry to interfere with your haying a most wonderful evening. BEAT BINGHAM The Bingham High basket ball team has been on a rampage the last week or so, making things miserable for all opposition, and is coming to Ogden tomorrow night, intent on pushing over the Tigers. It will be our first game of the sea¬son but will by no means be lack¬ing in thrills and fight. So get out your student body cards, give them to the man at the door and take your seat on the bleachers to help the team beat Bingham. Inasmuch as this is the first game of the season it is a good time to brush up on your basket ball etiquet. On the first page of your yell book you'll notice the essen¬tials of good yelling. If you haven't a yell book clip this out. Here they are: 1—Keep eyes on yell leader dur¬ing yells and songs. 2—Applaud men being replaced on the field as they come to the sidelines. 3—No catcalls when Ogden is penalized. 4—Applaud opponents' good plays. 5—Don't leave the grandstand be¬fore the game is over. 6—Don't crowd out on the floor, give players room to pass. 7—Learn the working on every song and yell, songs and yells. 8—Everybody "PATSY" LINGERS "The Patsy" now is a thing of the past, A golden memory. We'll hide it deep within our hearts, And mellowed it will grow. As kept by the hands of Old Man Time. We worship at its shrine For keeping us so young at heart And safe from anxious care. We love our Eleanor as Pat; She's captured all our hearts. Her precious ways, her boyish grace Unsullied by conceit, Have won us to her side and we Shall hope someday to see Ten thousand at her feet Giving adulation. —Verla Raty. WELCOME, ALUMNI The alumni of the O .H. S., both those who are in town and those who are drifting back to spend the holidays with us, will be most wel¬come to spend the evening in fun l and dance at ye old ballroom, Friday eve. Come up to school, gang, and pay us a visit. Let us know you still harbor a spot in your heart for the old school. CONSTITUTION AMENDED By a vote of the students article 4, sections 4 and 5, of the Ogden I High school constitution have been J amended to read: Section 4—Manager of Classi¬cum—Upon recommendation of a committee composed of the prin¬cipal and the advisory committee of r the papers, one of the two assistant busines managers of each paper shall be chosen manager of his respective paper. Section 5—Assistant Managers of Classicum—A. There shall be two assistant managers of the Quarter-ly and two of the Annual who shall be chosen by the council from a list of candidates from the junior class nominated by the principal and ad¬visory committee. CONGRESS Last Monday night, Congress cer¬tainly did a lot of discussing about things that aren't to be repeated. But one thing we will tell you is that Senator Roberts invited us to meet at her home during the holi-days, so senators, alumni, and waiting list members take heed, and reserve the day, Friday, December 28, at 2 o'clock. Another thing we did was to have a special meeting and took in two new members, and seniors at that. They are Marjorie Farris and Blanch Heed. —Ruth Falck. DESIGN CONTEST A silk design competition, which should be of great interest to those of our students who are taking art courses, is described in a state¬ment at the east bulletin board. FORUM Although Forum had a short business meeting Monday night we accomplished great things. A good deal of time was spent in our discussion of assembly plans. Just wait until you see John Carver in a nightgown and Bill .Reeder in whiskers! Another important phase of the meeting was a special meeting in which Keith Corry was admitted to membership. —T. J. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: I have been going out quite frequently with a young man, although we are not going steady. He has invited me to his home for Christmas dinner. Is it advis¬able that I give him a gift, is so, what kind is appropriate and when shall I give it to him, when he calls for me or at his home? S. O. S. ! Certainly a nice gift such as a book or a fountain pen is permis¬sible. Give it to him when he calls for you. You're welcome. AUNT JANE. Dear Aunt Jane: Would you please tell me which fellow in Ogden High has the smallest feet and which one the prettiest nose? Much love. A HOOF SEARCHER AND NOSER. Dear H. S. and N.: The best way to ascertain the answer to your questions is to conduct a beauty contest for all boys, don't you think? Try it. Same to you. AUNT JANE. DECEMBER 20 OPTIMISM Optimism is hope brought down to the present and applied to the thing you expect to tackle next. It's an individual quality which can be acquired and developed just the same as systematic exercise will develop knots of muscle on the arms and shoulders. If you feel there is a chance for developing your optimism, start in training now and go out each morning with your head up and your eyes fixed on victory—prac¬tice the bright outlook in every word and gesture—carry plenty of the ointment of good cheer wher¬ever you go and see how much smoother things will run with you. GAME TONIGHT Tonight at 7:30 o'clock sharp the rival centers of the Ogden Or¬ange Streaks and the Bingham Miners will enter the circle to start the fireworks of which promises to be a hotly contested struggle. Get our your student body tickets, come up to the gym and let's re¬vive the old O. H. S. spirit. Coach Kapple also announces the most welcome news that we I are going to play one of the preliminaries to the big North Dakota -B. Y. U. and Utah Aggie games in the Weber gym, December 27 or 28. It is likely that L. D. S. will be the opponent. Don't forget—Beat Bingham to¬night, 7:30 o'clock. Student body cards—everybody out. HOLLY HOP Tomorrow is absolutely your last chance to date that lucky girl for the biggest dance of the year. The Holly hop will be under way promptly at 9, when Mr. Reeve or¬ders his musicians to play the sweetest, best music ever played at the Berthana. If you're really in¬terested in enjoying life to Its full¬est, we know we'll see you there. And what's more, flowers are ta¬boo, and old Santa himself will be master of ceremonies. STARS GO WEST Believe it or not—the stars of the east are going west to find the eastern stars. If you're still in cloubt—the se¬cret's out. Our Huntsvillain boys are leaving for a warmer climate. Ernie Wangsgard and Dave Peter¬son have their suitcases all pack¬ed and as soon as this week is ov¬er they'll say good-bye and board the rattler for San Francisco and Reno (?) to spend the holidays. They say it's a business trip, but it can't be because they're leaving "Dave W." home. TIE TRADE SUCCESSFUL It's all over now. The big stampede has come and gone. Tie day was a "wow," judging it from any and every angle. The trading at times became so intense that not only ties were swapped but also shirts, blows, girls, and lockers. We're glad that the rules do not requiie that we wear the tie we finished with at the Holly hop. COUNCIL MEETING President Corry presided at the usual council meeting. The min¬utes were read and approved. We Thirteen, Carpe Diem and Stellae were given permission to hold parties during the holidays. The constitution for an Alexan¬der Hamilton club was read and accepted. The club is formed for the study of history. After some discussion it was de¬cided to make the regulations sub¬mitted by the club standard com-mittee a part of our constitution. As nothing had been turned in in answer to Kent's plea for yells and songs, the date for the end of the contest was postponed, and the committee was urged to ad¬vertise the contest. Mr. Norback read a letter re¬ceived from West High, challeng¬ing us to a debate some time in January. A motion was passed to the effect that O. H. S. should ac¬cept the challenge. It was moved and seconded that the student body finance the art department in buying an air gun to be used in making posters. The motion was passed. It was with great difficulty that the meeting was finally brought to a close. —Jeanette Morrell, Secretary. ANSWERS TO AUNT JANE Aunt Jane's correspondence has increased materially since one of her letters from the senior boys was published last Tuesday. The answering of this letter was left to those concerned and the above let¬ters are the answers. STEWART EXHIBIT Le Conte Stewart, art instructor at Ogden High school, has present¬ed an exhibit of landscape paint¬ings including all seasons from the new-born spring to the icy winter weather. One very attractive picture is that of "Winter Mists." The weath¬er is fitful, seemingly unable to de¬cide whether Jt shall be stormy or bright. In fact, such a picture re¬minds of our weather now. It is decidedly lovely and well done. "Land of the Purple Shadows" is a desert scene, where coyotes howl and where the vastness and silence gives you the "creeps." It certainly portrays the desert in a very life-like manner. "Mountain in Davis County" is an autumn scene picturing vividly, in purples and gold, Weber canyon, it is beautiful to look upon and very representative of our moun¬tains. His painting, "A Road in Win¬ter." is so realistically drawn as to make one shiver. Indeed, it re¬minds one of a Merry Christmas. Speaking about the approaching holidays, Mr. Stewart has cut a linoleum block, picturing his stu¬dio and sending a message, a Noel cheer. It's clever, it's pretty, it's full of Yuletide gladness. MORE RUMORS It has been rumored: That senior girls have lately committed the unpardonable sin of going out with juniors. The sen¬ior men are thoroughly disgusted. If the senior girls wish to lower themselves, the senior men say it is the least of their troubles. That Dave Wangsgard was late for school the other morning be¬cause he had to finish his job of piloting. That more boys are going to take Spanish at the half. Does it need explaining? That many of the seniors are go¬ing to a stag party in January. I-WANNAN-O I-Wannan-O what to give her And how much to pay for her gift Shall I get something cheap Will he give me a real helping hand? I-Wannan-O what she will give me. Because if it's simple and cheap I'll spend all my cash On the big Christmas dance, And send her a postcard And ask for the chance To save her some Christmas eve sleep. . AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Here's an answer to the ques¬tion that was in your column on Tuesday: And plunk the cash down Or soak my old shoes And get a swell gown Shall I mortgage my soul for a lift? I-wanno-no "Is there a Santa?" And where is this Santa Claus land? Will he help me to pay If I'm senseless and mad And without any friends, Just charge it to dad. The senior boys will have to wake up if they want to go out with the senior girls. "Time and tide waits for no man," and most unfortunately, neither do we. We are not conceited, but we are par¬ticular about being asked the last minute and sometimes not at all. Opportunity knocks but once. Therefore don't be so slow and you will not be too late to go vith us. Personally I think junior boys are just as interesting as the senior boys. "A word to the wise is sufficient" —May this prove so. —A Brunette Senior. P. S. I'm sure there are some seniors who haven't been askeid yet to go to the Holly hop. Get busy, boys, and ask them. Why not? Dear Aunt Jane: We read with sympathy the piti¬ful complaint of the seniors tc you in the Ogden High School 3jfotes. We wish to reply that these boys have been beaten fairly and square¬ly. If the senior girls have shown a preference for the company of juniors, the senior boys should not complain. We suggest that the seniors should improve their minds, manners, technique, morals, and what have you, until they blossom into social successes. —Ben, David, Beecher, Steve, Harold, Howard, Hod, Henry, Dick. Charles, Hoop, etc., all juniors. P. S. Meanwhile we wish them, many pleasant stag parties. Dear Aunt Jane: Why do the senior boys think they can appease the senior girls? Do the boys think they are going to wait for them, to wait for noth¬ing? The senior boys hare not
