Show MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1929. Ogden . . High School News It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the site of the fight in the dog that counts. —Bill Jones. ORANGE STREAKS IN FORM The Ogden Orange Streaks hit their stride Friday, and the Davis High cagers were the unfortunate opponents. From the very beginning the Tigers took a liking to the handsome Davis gym and rolled up eighteen points the first half, while the Davisites were trying to con¬nect. Just oflfce. The bus load of Ogden boosters that sacrificed a few dances at the Accolade was treated to an ex-cellent demonstration of the Tiger in fighting mood. And until you Bee the new Davis gym you nln'.t Been nothin' yet. We're a bit Jealous, Davis, but some day we may be able to ask you to play on our "million dollar floor." Our next game will be at home, Friday, with the Box Elder Bees. ACCOLADE SUCCESSFUL Those hours of happiness have flown away, bur not the memory of that dance. Such blissful hours shall never be forgotten. A new and exotic motif, the futuristic, was beautifully worked out in a blend¬ing of red and orange. Tall build¬ings forecast the style of archltecturo in the future. Dance programs, too, seemed to have a modernistic trend. Gay colors, rustling silk, everything added to the gaiety, making the girlB dance the great¬est suijgoss of the social season. Every girl on the committees deserves special mention, for ev¬eryone had worked diligently to make the ball a success. Credit should be given to Alice Emmett, general chairman; Blanche Heed, Georgia Hopkins, Ruth Kraines, Marjorie Faris, Eleanor Stevens, and Ruth Roberts, committee chair¬men. "WE 13" Amid the roars of the boisterous ground flyers the last meeting un¬der the first administration of of¬ficers came to order at 3:30 o'clock 1 on Thursday In that now famous room, number 302. Everything was momentarily slighted because election of officers for the next six weeks was to be held. Henry Aiken surrendered his little gavel to Herbert Stewart, our new chairman;' Grant Morse gave his Roberts' Rules of Order to David Mattson, vice chairman; Horace Nebeker gave up his ac¬counts and shekels to Dee Bram- well, secretary-treasurer; and Ben Cartwright willed his occupation to Grant Morse, sergeant-at-arms. All members are more than pleased with the outcome and we are all going to get together and make a non-stop flight to club success.— B. C. FAMOUS SISTERS Did it ever occur to you that Og¬den High school is gifted with fam¬ous sisters, too? Liddy Teuscher, pianist for this, that and every¬thing, typist for some more than that, Is a member of H. C. Viola Teuscher is well known In the pub¬lic speaking sphere. She is secre¬tary of H. C. and vice president of Gamma Kappa. Janet and Lu¬cille Treseder are two reasons "why boys go crazy." Audrey Clark, the songster, is inspiration of band, vice president of stellar reporter to the News, and society editor of the Quarterly. Her sister, Marion, also a singer, is a member of Phi Lamba Tau. Elmira Wright, the zoologist, is to the boys what the candle is to the moths. Cecile, her sister, a junior of whom you're bound to hear more of. Jessie and Sarah Taggart are another pair of those fortunate red¬heads. Doris, Wilma and Therma Bettridge, the Latin sisters, are not triplets nor either two of them twins. Wilma (Billy) Shaw is a member of Tau Eta Nu. Helen, the same, is a very good speaker. Katie Rhodes is a member of Zeta Phi Zi. Her sister, Eva, also grad¬uates in May. Christine and Segrid Mickelsen, Ruth and Hattie Cranney, and Laura and Eunice Danvers complete the list. Some sisters! —R. Z. HAM AND A regular meeting was held Thursday night in our rendezvous. A very interesting talk on early radio was given by Mr. Schatz. Here's some good news. At our next meeting a short wave radio receiver is to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Anyone inter¬ested in obtaining this radio may bid. Dan Giles was at our meeting and offered suggestions concerning the big secret that is soon coming out. —H. H. H. We (we means here all of us and especially the members of the board of education) haven't even decided the first mooted question about the new high school, i. e. the question, "Where shall we build it?" There are those who say that. the most important consideration is the matter of accessibility—put it where it can serve most conven¬iently and at least expense to the largest possible number of stu-dents. Thige people maintain that the present location is absolutely central for Ogden as she is and for Ogden as she will be, therefore, "build the new high school on the present site." Another group of people says, "Give the new high school a beautiful and imposing setting, such as is enjoyed by our state university, our agricultural college, St. Mary-of-the-Wasatch, our state capitol. Put her up at the head of Twenty-fifth street, where she can , be seen and admired. Further¬more, where students will gather daily inspiration from the lofty mountains, including Mount Ogden in the rear, and will be trained in aesthetic appreciation by the won¬derful panoramic view of our entire valley, including cities, farms, homes, and the wonderful Great Salt lake with its many islands." Surely there are good arguments , on both sides of the question. Only divine wisdom could say which site would ultimately prove best. Submit the question to the people and build the new high school where the majority of the people want it. JANUARY 29, 1929 OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 Nothing is more confusing than the difference between the things you have to say and the things you are allowed to print.—D. H. Lawrence. NEW HIGH SCHOOL, 1930 When anyone asks you when you are going to have a new high school, tell him—"In 1930." This is the information that was given out by Supt. W. Karl Hop¬kins in an article in The Standard- Examiner on Sunday The super¬intendent says: "The board of edu¬cation contemplates the purchase of a high school site and the be- beginning of a new high school in 1930." As is well Known, whatever the board contemplates, it does, so we take it as a settled fact that the new high school will be begun early next year. We congratulate the board on this fine decision—the biggest, best, most commendable decision reach¬ed during the past several years. As we have said before, we say again, "Ogden's most imperative need is a new high school," and 1930 isn't any too early to begin. In fact, we would be glad to have the board spring a surprise on us and begin this great improvement in 1929. At least they might this year decide where we are to build the new school. CONGRATULATIONS Ralph Peterson, in charge of all the nice things in the line of music at Ogden High, has taken his bow to the harp-notes of Cupid. Miss Phyllis King is Ralph's bride-to-be, as announced in Sunday's paper. If this year's opera is ex¬tremely successful, or if the boys' glee club seems unusually well trained, you can trace the reason with little difficulty. Congratulations, Ralph, may your home be filled with the sweetest music. FOUR HOME GAMES The fans of the city who are keeping an eye on the capers of the Orange Streaks will not have to leave Ogden until the first day of March. The schedule for Ogden calls for five more league games and four of these will be played at home. The Weber gym will be the scene of three battles, Box Elder, February 1; Bear River, February , 8; Davis, February 22, and the We¬ber High court will present the ' second Ogden-Weber battle, Feb¬ruary 15 The season will end at Brigham City March 1. Our next test will be Friday with the Box Elder Bees defending the basket we'll be shooting at. It's time the Bees were losing to Ogden. BOOKKEEPING Mr. Abplanalp's department is now the possessor of a Burroughs listing and bookkeeping machine. This machine is entirely automatic and was obtained only after a struggle of about three or four years. The machine enables the bookkeeper to save time and ef¬fort. Ogden High school now has one of the best equipped commer¬cial departments of any school west of Denver. This is the reason that Ogden High turns out such efficient bookkeepers, typists and other of¬fice workers. The advanced class in bookkeeping is now working on a corporation set and when they are through they will have an ex¬cellent working knowledge of ac¬counting in the most modern methods. AUCTION Next Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock during our regular meet¬ing, Ham And will auction off a two-tube short wave receiver. Whether you are a member of Ham And or not be there with your jack, as we need the E. Pluribus Unum. JAY ON CRUTCHES Jay Larson is the latest addition to the Crutch and Crutchette ros¬ter. His membership is good un¬til February 25, and therein lies a moral, boys. Don't carry girls over icy snow banks. It's a dangerous undertaking and the consequences are very disastrous. It was very heroic of you, Jay; it's too bad we couldn't all have seen it, but we'll not ask you to do it again, espe¬cially the part where they "carried you back to Old Virginia" MUSIC MEMORANDUM Harold Felt, accompanied by Frances Foster, played several vio¬lin solos for the Twelfth ward so¬cial, Friday, January 25. Frances played several solos on the piano. Opera books have been ordered and are expected to arrive about Friday. Tryouts for opera parte wilt be held about a week after the arrival of the books. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane—Who pays the participants in radio broadcasting? I-WANNAN-O. Dear I-Wannan-O—The firms which are mentioned in connec¬tion with the programs pay the participants. It's just a good ad¬vertising stunt. AUNT JANE. A. D, M. CLUB Didja see us in our new uniforms Friday? We are the new Amigos del Mundo club, and we're a group of peppy girls organized for the purpose of studying travel. Our advisers are Mrs. Franke and Mr. Robins. Swell? The first meeting was held some time ago in the home of Miss Louise Jeanney. Miss Jeanney was elected president. Lois Biddulph was elected vice president Our secretary Is Wyona Goddard and re-porter Melba Pfisterer. We have held several meetings since and have talked matters over as clubs usually do. Several parties have been planned for the future-- you’ll hear all about ‘em. Boy and how Adios. MELBA PFISTERER. OUR TEACHERS Ernest Wangsgard was graduat¬ed from the Utah Agricultural col¬lege with a B. S. degree. He taught in Granite High school for four years, after which he was added to our efficient faculty five years ago. Mr. Wangsgard teaches geometry and physics. His classes are now finding out why is a volt and other shocking methods. Mr. Wangs¬gard is the other member of the triumvirate from Huntsville. Ernie is all smiles today because his wife presented him with a fine baby boy Monday morning at 10 o'clock. This is the second rancher born in the family. Ernest says he'll probably call the boy "Snowbound." JANUARY 31, 1929. OHS NEWS Stan Spencer ‘28 NEW WAT TO GET MONEY. Mussolini has recently decreed that the alumni of all the higher institutions of Italy shall be as¬sessed a definite amount to con¬tinue the work of all such institu¬tions in Italy. How would it do for the board of education in Ogden to follow Mussolini's lead and assess each and every alumnus of Ogden High school a small amount, say $10 per—to build a new high school. With her thousands of graduates this would create a very fine building ftmd. This is only a suggestion of course. TIGER-BEE BATTLE SOON. The Purple and White tossers from Brigham City are driving south Friday to the jungle of the Tigers with the determination for victory in their blood. In the meanwhile the Orange and Black battlers are working like they have never worked before to make things mighty miserable for the last year's runners-up. The game will be waged at the historic Weber gym, the home of high-class basketball, Friday, Feb¬ruary 1, at 8 o'clock flat. The price of admission for high school rooters is the faithful old student body card. If we beat the Bees we'll be sitting on top of the world, so everybody out! STILL ANOTHER. The Crutch and Crutchette club is rapidly completing its membership. The newest addition is Berkely Spillsbury. "Red" has the honor of wearing the longest crutches, so far, and he isn't get¬ting out of the way for anyone, list tor this year is as follows: LeRoy Yearsley, Ted Jessop. Ruth Zuppann, Gladys Anderson, Jay Larson and Berkely. Mr. Oberhansley did the next best thing by resorting to a cane when something went wrong with his pins. That dangerous looking club he shuffles along with isn't a weapon; it's an aid. CONGRESS. Congress certainly spent an en¬joyable and profitable evening. We had an informal discussion on the state debating question. Quite a few pointers were given on our is¬sues, and with the help of Miss Irvine, we expect to see some mem¬bers of congress on the school de¬bating team. We also set the date for the West High debate as Wednesday, Feb¬ruary 20. Next week congress is going to have one-minute talks on the state question, and it's going to be plenty snappy. All persons are invited to come and hear the senate's only rival argue on a question of vital importance.—Ruth Kraines. COMPLIMENTS. Officers of the Girls' association wish to congratulate and thank the committees for the Accolade.on the splendid way they took charge of the dance. The work was very creditably done and we have to ad¬mit the dancs was one of the most successful we have ever had.— Rebecca Ririe. PALETTE AND CHISEL. Palette and Chisel had an en¬thusiastic meeting last Monday after school. Two new members were elected to fill our quota. It was also decided that our next meeting will be held next Monday and a committee of three was ap¬pointed to procure the services of some artist to talk to us. Members Bill Smiley and Ted Tyree offered to put on a humorous one-act skit. This offer was accepted and the meeting then adjourned. You can expect to hear much of Palette and Chisel activities this coming sem-ester.—Ted Tyree. BANKING. This week's bulletin of the school savings system shows the Central Junior and Washington elementary to be over the top with a 100 percent deposit. Lorin Farr, Polk and Lewis Junior are next in line with percentages of 91.3, 83 and 81, re¬spectively. It continues on down the line to Ogden High with its meager record of 21.8 per cent or 132 deposits out of 605 attendance. To encourage banking, the Og¬den chapter of the American In¬stitute of Banking extends the serv¬ices of its speakers to any teacher who is interested in having his class hear any of the thrift talks offered. Their speakers are prepared to talk on any of the followingphrases of banking: What is Wealth, Nature of a Bank, Pro¬tecting Your Savings, How Banks Help Business, The Federal Re¬serve System, How Banks Help Foreign Trade, The Banker and The Farmer, Banking As a Voca¬tion or Profession. DOG GONE. Has anybody seen Maxine's wire- haired fox terrier? He left home a week ago and forgot to leave any tracks in the snow or a forwarding address. He's got white curly hair, brown ears, a black tail and a habit of following children, so if he gets in your way call Maxine and get your reward. H. C. The regular meeting of H. C. was held Monday. Plans for our party were discussed and we assure you it will be a big success. A report was made concerning pins. Juniors, here is your chance to get in a real club, our membership committee is going to select juniors for H. C. in the near future.— DeLon Murray |
