event on our campus. Each year the hospitality of the school is extended to guests from the secondary schools; a tour of the campus under the direction of the Spurs and Blue Keys, inspection of the classes, a delightful luncheon furnished without cost are the most outstanding features of the visit. Among the interesting events which will be sponsored by the com¬mittee is a mammoth state track meat. Hurdlers and fleet runners from every amateur school will compete for the honors of the day. In addition to this athletic compe¬tition the final high school divis¬ional contests will be held. These will include musical events, botfr instrumental and vocal, public speaking, and poster events. Doug. Wood is chairman of the group and will have general supervision of the arrangements. Associated with him are Bernice Thomas, Virginia Summerhays, and Bob Davis. APRIL 1, 1929 BUDDING GENIUS Maybe it is due to ambitions of students or maybe it is due only to the balmy spring days of late, but anyone looking down the halls would think it was an art gallery, with so many so-called "modernis¬tic" masterpieces posted around. The students are presumably taking advantage of a method of expressing their exotic emotions and high ideals by a conglomera¬tion of lines, spears, points, octagons, etc., on a paper with a title, and there seems to have been a craze started which may result in a contest. You may see anything from the soul of our Bob Einstein, 11, to "Logangcuspidoidia" or, in other words, the "quadrangular emotion of a logarithm after being reduced to the 164th root by four and one-half teams of bicuspids" expressed in this beautiful ultra¬modern visualization. As has been said there may be a contest resulting from these attempts with a substantial prize attached, so watch bulletin boards and the News for subsequent developments. FORUM ASSEMBLY A WOW We certainly thank Forum for the delightful program they gave us Friday. The alumni prolog and the members' two-act court scene farce threw the audience into fits of laughter. Those costumes were so becoming to the boys and the speeches. If we had only taken a few snapshots. Forum's challenge to any club in school to produce a more original, entertaining pro¬gram still stands. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Is the Junior Prom in charge of the juniors or is it a club dance? I understood that there were no club dances in high school, but with the exception of five persons the Junior Prom is in the hands of "We Thirteen." In the answer to this letter, please do not say that these members of this club are the peppiest juniors in the school because tyiey positively are not. There are a few juniors (sarcasm) who are much more capable of handling an affair than the members or chairmen of the committees. At the Classicalia, the non-member group worked as hard as the club group, and I know that they would for the prom. Please answer this letter in the interest of all juniors. Yours, IDLIKE TONO. Dear Idlike Tono: Maybe you have started some¬thing that you have a right to and maybe you haven't. Personally, I think you are entitled to an an¬swer to the question that is both¬ering you, and I will do all that I can to Sfifiiro nno for von. Risht now I will refer the matter to the persons to whom it seems driven at. I think they should have first chance at answering it. —AUNT JANE. WON SECOND PLACE At the annual typing contest held in Provo on Friday last, Miss Ida McGregor won second place in the first year typing division. Miss McGregor wrote 64 words per minute. The winner, a girl from Richfield, wrote 70 words. Ogden was represented by Miss McGregor, Lois Robinson and Mildred Pur¬dy. All the girls made a splendid showing. SHALL WE PLAY BASEBALL? Coach Kapple is considering an invitation from Principal Keith Wahlquist of Weber High to form a league in baseball. Baseball is the national game and it seems to us that every high school should have a good baseball team. Come on, fellows, let's go. "WE 13" REPORT 'Tis the day after or, to be more exact, the week after. "We 13" is reconvening from the rushing and hurrying that accompanied the Classicalia. We have decided after much consideration that our ef¬forts have not been in vain ana we have done our best toward making the Classicalia a success, which are indeed consoling facts. Now that we are through with the Classicalia we can proceed with our study of aeronautics. We had two very interesting talks by mem¬bers at our last meeting. Just to think of the wonderful future of aviation is enough to fill one with awe. If we have all the talks that are planned in the future, all we will need is a plane to be able to fly and we will be sure of a sec¬ond Lindy among our members. HAM AND As usual we enjoyed a very edu¬cational meeting. Most of our time was spent in listening to our talented members. 6ETB gave us a very worthwhile talk on new types of rectifiers. 6CSD gave us the latest data on the new neon tubes. Jack Norback, our new member, told us of the master key needed in television. 6DXM told all about the Rocky mountain, American Radio Relay league convention, which was held last year in Denver. As our secretary was sick 6EKF took the job. After our usual mode practice, transmitting circuits, DX, and YL'S were discussed, both pro and con. Jn the near future Ham And will hold another auction. It's B batteries this time.—Bob Schatz. APRIL 2, 1929 The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of work.—Sarah A. Bolton. TRACK AND TENNIS After two days of scraping, loos¬ening, hauling and smoothing, our crowded athletic field is now in fit condition for the athletic aspirants to practice on. Runners, jumpers, and tossers are going through their respective exercises, loosening their joints and hardening into condi¬tion. Danny Stewart, regional pole vaulting champion, is track and field captain. A large list of can¬didates has reported and things are beginning to look encouraging. The first call for tennis has been classicumed also and the tourna¬ment is scheduled to begin next week. If you are planning to en¬ter either the singles or doubles or both, make known your intentions either to Ed Smith or Warren Wattis. "Slim" Hales, school singles champion, under the rules, will not be allowed to compete in the sin¬gles tournament this year. This is encouraging for about 50 or 60 oth¬er players. Hales and Greaves will defend the doubles championship they captured last year. Get your name in right away to either Ed or Warren. This ap¬plies to both boys and girls. All entries must be made no later than tomorrow. STELLAE BUSY Stellae met at Eleanor's Thurs¬day night. During our usual busi¬ness-like business meeting we dis¬cussed a trip to Timpanogos, whicih will be held soon., and a party at Warren's next Saturday. Our next meeting is to be at Hugh's and Professor Hales of Weber will give a lantern lecture on Mars. Oh, yes, you know, of course, that Lawrence Burbidge and Doxey Stone were elected as club members. Con-grats! Our program consisted of many lovely piano seelctions by Elroy McGregor and we danced to his merry music. After a perfect¬ly divine luncheon every happy Stellae member wended his home¬ward way. NEWS FOR GIRLS Here is some long-awaited but unexpected news! Have you ever bent a silken-clad knee and stood up quickly with an "Oh, darn"? A disgusted eye beholds and unprom¬ising run, and a dash for the sew¬ing room is the result. Have you ever heard a terrifying rip-p-p when a too large step has been taken? You stare amazedly at the torn skirt and make a record- breaking sprint for Miss Corless and the saving grace of a needle and thread. Miss Corless, you have been our rescuer upon more than one occasion and we heartily thank you. Henceforth, however, you can save a great deal of your val¬uable time by referring the girls to the rest room. For, girls, this is the news! The Girls' association has presented the school with a handsome hardwood sewing box, equipped with needles, thread of all colors, and scissors. This box is for your benefit and will take its meals in the rest room (near the cooking room). Here's to bigger and better runs, girls! —Verla Raty '29. H. C. Regular meeting held Wednes¬day. Committee reports were ac¬cepted. All of the new members were called on to tell their im¬pression of the club. The girls thanked the fellows for the won¬derful party they gave us at he Elks' club. Miss Teuscher was asked to take the program for next week. All members are urged to make the necessary payments on pins. —Delon Murray. Have you noticed the red band on the sponsors' caps, that brilliant touch which so brightens the uniform? Do you know why It is there? Why, because the Ogden High school is an honor school; it is a sign of distinction, you see. Word has been received that the Lewis oratorical contest will be held this month. All those wishing to j participate in this contest should APRIL 3, 1929 Let us be thankful for the fools; But for them the rest of us could not succeed. —Mark Twain. TENNIS ENTRIES The tennis tournament entry list Tuesday morning showed that 37 boys and 11 girls were entering the singles bracket and that the dou¬bles column had one girls' team and 11 boys' teams listed.. The entries Avere completed today and the tour¬nament will begin probably Mon¬day. It will be rushed through, in order that two singles players and two doubles teams can be officially chosen to represent Ogden High school in tennis competition in Provo and Logan this month. It is also planned to stage team matches with Salt Lake high schools. The court will be painted and new nets hung for the opening of the first round games. THIS CONCERNS SENIORS The most elite dance of the year is to be held on the nineteenth of this month in the Berthana and at the usual time. All seniors are to be admitted free unless a senior girl goes with a junior boy or a senior boy goes with a junior girl. Those who have dates (seniors) must have their names and part- see Miss Irvine Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock. OGDEN PLACES SECOND Although Richfield won the trip to Toronto for writing seventy words per minute, Ogden came sec¬ond, writing at the rate of 64 words. We wish to congratulate Richfield for its victory, but still more we want to congratulate Ida McGregor for placing us second out of close to 50 contestants. Og¬den High school has been inert in these contests since 1927, and so we consider this an excellent record. Above the shore of the lake rolled a broad expanse of blue. One could almost hear the gentle lap- lap of the waves on. the beach, could almost feel a clear, cool breeze by just looking at a picture. It was an etching of a broad ex¬panse of blue above and gentle waves lapping the shore—Bear lake, an exquisite etching of Hilma Mole's. Hilma Mole was once a student at Ogden High school. A common, every-day senior or junior like any of us. Perhaps not so common or every-day after all, but anyhow, a talented art student in this very school. When she left Ogden High, she studied under Professor Harwood at Utah university. She trav-eled with the professor and a class abroad, and she brought bits of France back with her. There is, for instance, the charming little French doorway in a charming lit¬tle French street—Chartres. There is the graceful, romantic bridge spanning fascinating green waters, with the exciting spires of a piece of Paris in the distance—Port Neuf! Mr. Stewart, besieged for infor¬mation on etchings, hurled fright¬ening Technical terms about, but finally these facts were gathered. An etching is made something like this: The design is scratched on a copper plate and is "bitten in" (one of those technical terms) with acid. Then, by some mysterious process (here followed a long line of t-t's), the design is transferred to paper. Colored etchings are made in quit< the same manner, except that the designs are scratched on the copper with colored inks. In Mrs. Irwin's rooon (202) are eighteen of Hilma Mole's etchings, and all of them are beautiful. Wander down a dusty lane on "A Summer's Afternoon," dawdle in a "Sunny Valley," and dream beside "The Willow Tree"—with Hilma. —Edith Cross '29. ner's names in the O. H. S. News box on or before April 10. Other¬wise they will be paired by the date committee. Seniors, get your dates now and don't forget to put the names in the O. H. S. News box. GONE TO PRESS All the material for the farewell issue of the quartely Classicum has been compounded and sent to the printers. The students are looking forward with high anxiety, toward the day the spring number will be placed in their hands. MORE ONE-ACT PLAYS Nine one-act plays have been cast in the dramatic arts class. Competitive tryouts will determine which four of these plays will be presented in a series sometime be¬fore the end of this school year. These plays are "Trysting Place," "Birds of a Feather," "Lady Ann," "Finger of God," "Enter the Hero," "'Twas Ever Thus," "China Pig," "Wisdom Tooth,'" and "Not Quite Such a Goose." This group of plays offers plenty of variety, including comedy, drama and mystery'. PROMENADE COMMITTEES The promenade will be held un¬der the auspices of the student chairman and junior class officers. In charge are: Student chairman—Ben Cartwright. Advertising committee — David Mattson, chairman; Jessie McKinley, Richard McKey, Jeanet Man¬ning, Beecher McConnell.

Any committee not submitting an acceptable report will be dissolved and rechosen. Ben Cartwright, Student Chairman. Juniors this is your dance! Never has the junior prom been a financial success. Let’s break the tradition! CONGRESS Congress met and definitely decided the fate of Forum. The junior college question was decided upon as the one to be debated on the twenty-ninth of April, when the annual affair takes place. Then we listened to one of the snappiest waiting-list debates we have ever heard. It was a no-decision affair, because we wouldn’t have been able to decide the winning team anyway. We are going to debate the question next time, and we expect quite a furious contest. Then congress adjourned as there was no further business. -Ruth Kraines. We nominate to our Hall of Fame -- Louis Emmett: Because she believes that the woman who suffers mos for her belief is the one who believes she can wear a No. 3 shoe on a No. 6 foot. Because when asked to give an example of a double negative she said: “I don’t know none.” Because she is quoted as saying, “When the bell rings jump up and run before the teacher has time to assign a lesson.” Because she takes Latin down in shorthand and reads it in Geometry. And Virginia Rose: Because she wonders how a near-sighted man can have a far-away look. Because she has never said “Jay.” Because she majors in uniforms. Because she declares that “to kiss” is a conjunction and cannot be declined. And Jay Larson: Because he has never said: “Well I know who he was, but I can’t pronounce his name.” Because he is the author of the saying “handsome is as handsome does.” Because all the world loves a lover. Because he declares that he could very truthfully call some girls poems, after scanning their feet. --Audrey Clark, Reporter. APRIL 5, 1929 Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one rascal less in the world. --Carlyle. DIPLOMAS AT STAKE The office is working overtime in checking the applications for graduated that were filled some time ago by the optimistic seniors. Every unit, grade, and what not, is being tabulated in an effort to determine just who will get their “sheepskins” on the night of commencement in May. Twelve years (maybe more) of strife and struggling are represented by a single little diploma stating that so-and-so did what he was supposed to have done to be considered a graduate of the Ogden High school. Seven weeks more and the world will be enlarged with a high class group of young men and women.
