See Lawrence Burbidge. CHATTER AND CHAFF "Weary" Hales says he's worn the same pair of pants for seven years. We interpret this to mean that the boy has been long long. Ogden's tennis teams will com¬pete at B. Y. U. under the name of the "Ducks." They will enter¬tain the fans with fancy exhibitions of "water-lawfords," "raindrops," "alley dives" and all those things they're becoming so proficient in diving the last two weeks. Inspection day. May 2. Will company B repeat with a Kanzler cup victory'.' The "intelligence" tests given the seniors Tuesday were all that the students expected and then some. "Speed" tests would be a good sub¬stitute name for them. APRIL 30, 1929 Ogden High School News STUDENT ELECTION The final election for 1929-30 student body officers was held this morning.

CHATTER AND CHAFF We suggest that Keith Corry, Don Corey and Claude Coray get together and decide just how to spell this popular surname. Every boy not taking drill was to have reported at room 207 this morning at 8:30. Something re¬minds us that the Boy's day parade is drawing nigh. Will the girl who took a gold chain with a red and gold orna¬ment from the ladies' dressing room at Weber High during the opera please return it to Beth Peck. One of our goslings is necklaceless. The facultv is studying the stu¬dents who are being considered for Valedictorian and salutatorian of the class of '29. Their selections (will be announced soon. Tomorrow comes May, May may br may not bring as many flowers is April did showers. AN APOLOGY Through unfortunate circum¬stances on last Friday evening at the Weber County High school, Miss Helen Miller did not receive all of her allotted flowers over the footlights. The management at £his time wishes to express their sincere regrets about this matter. —Huber Earle, Manager. MAY 1, 1929. HOPKINS PLAN FOR BUILDING HIGH SCHOOL HERE CHEERED Tax Levy of Four Mills For Five Years Is Suggested TALKS ON EDUCATION State Owned Junior College For Ogden Students Advocated Building of a new Ogden high school to cost $800,000 with funds raised either through a four mills tax levy extending over five years or by a combined bond issue of $400,000 and two mills tax levy was urged this noon by W. Karl Hopkins, superintendent of schools, in an address before the Rotary club of Ogden, his talk being given liberal applause by the Rotarians. In the same address, the school superintendent declared that Og¬den should have a state-owned and state-operated junior college, say¬ing that the University of Utah had become, because of its attend-ance conditions, the "University of Salt Lake." PAPER IS RIGHT. T believe The Standard-Exam¬iner is right when it says that Og¬den should have a high school worthy of the city," the school of¬ficial said. He said that while Og¬den has 10,000 students in school and 19,967 children of school age— one-third as many as Salt Lake, its property valuation on which tax income is based is in much smaller ratio. "I am hopeful that I can see ground broken for this new high school in 1930," he said. "The school will be built as soon as Ogden people urge it." MAY 1, 1929 "If it is folly . to think of the grapes beyond our reach, it is still greater folly not to take all we can reach." CONGRATULATIONS. Congratulating Herbert Stewart from Washington, Miss Eleanor Stevens from Central and Rayder Deegan from Lewis, president, vice president and secretary, respective¬ly, of the 1929-30 student body of the Ogden Senior High school, ihey are the popular choice of this year's student body to serve m these high offices next year. May they guide the good ship O. H. S. on the most successful voyage of its long career! G. A. PRESIDENT. Girl delegates from each room V were chosen to meet in Mrs. Irwin's room this morning and decide on a president for the Girls' association next year. It naturally falls on a junior girl to assume the office Miss Lorna Crockett has ably filled this year. MORE CONGRATULATIONS. Congratulating Miss Kathryn Cooley, Miss Afton Terry, Earl Leatham and Miss Rebecca Ririe! Kathryn will deliver the valedic¬torian address for commencement exerciess and Afton will be the salutatorian. Earl will be the class orator and Rebecca class reader. Again we say, congratulations. The Rev. John Edward Carver will deliver the baccalureate ser¬mon in the Egyptian theatre, Sunday, May 19. BANKING. If Benjamin Franklin were to see the banking rate of Ogden High school he certainly would be disappointed. It seems strange that a high school as enthusiastic and active as Ogden is, should have the lowest percentage in banking of all the western state high schools—(no congratulations). O. H. S. has 143 depositors who deposit on the average of 43c a yeek o_r a total of about $1280.16 for 36 weeks. If each one could maintain an average of 43c a week at the end of 36 weeks he would have $15.48. That would be quite a convenient little sum for the various occasions that arise to¬ward the end of the year such as University day.—M. I. TENNIS CHAMPION. Congratulating Mr. Warren Wat¬tis, tennis singles champion of the Ogden Senior High school. Hats off to Gordon Bluth, runner-up. In defeating Bluth, Wattis met his stiffest competition, winning, C--3, 7-5, 6-4. The champion's ability to cover the court was too much for Bluth, who fought desperately throughout and forced Wattis to the limit. , Bluth's backhand placements were one of the features of the match, but they were not enough to cope with the cuts and law-fords of the more experienced Wattis. Wattis will be awarded the George Eccles medal in the near future. Warren, by the way, will defend his title as singles champion of northern Utah in the regional meet at Logan, Friday, Senior day. IN APPRECIATION. To the business managers who performed their duties with admir¬able ability and perseverence, to all the business associates, chiefly the business committee, who or¬ganized themselves and made ideas facts, to the stage managers, to whom the credit for the unique and artistic settings is due, to the stage associates who labored un¬ceasingly for the construction and arrangement of the scenery and properties, to the members of the art department, who were active with paints and brushes, to the many merchants of Ogden, radio KLO, the Weber County High school, and the various luncheon clubs who co-operated to the best of their ability in our advertising' campaign, to the Ogden High School News, and its able staff for their help toward our opera, to the faculty advisors, the faculty in gen¬eral, and the principal, who back¬ed our projects with their indis¬pensable moral support, the gen¬eral manager of the opera wishes to give his everlasting gratitude and thanks.—Huber Earle, General Manager. VICTORY IN DEBATING. Congratulating Miss Marjorie Faris and Miss Katherine Thomas and Congress; These girls, uphold¬ing the question, "Resolved, That the University of Utah should be given the power to establish a junior branch in Ogden," were awarded the decision over John Carver and Dee Bramwell of Forum debate held Monday night. In rendering his decision Judge Hendricks emphasized he close¬ness of the debate and commended the debators upon their ability. The debate was a scene of sports¬manship on the part of both clubs and they are to be complimented upon the high manner in which this affair is conducted. Thank you, Judge Hendricks, we appreci¬ate your favor. FLAG PRESENTATION. Thursday morning at 8:30 o'clock the flag presentation will take place.
