Page 4 TIGER HIGHLIGHTS Rural Romance Highly Interesting By RUTH BOWEN A splendid interpretation of the three act comedy "Romance in a Boarding House" was presented by Louise Lambert, Dick West, Mary Lou Foutz, Marjorie Andelin, Don Purkey, Athleen Woods, Dick Carruth, Dale Rom- nic, Paulina Morehouse, Ida Rose Langford, and Earl Fur- niss, February 23, in the Ogden high school auditorium. The farce was written by James C. Parker, author of another successful Fine Arts production, "Bashful Bobby," and was directed by Dan Bailey. Although the play lacked the original plot, and the youthful, wholesome appeal attributed to "Bashful Bobby," it was practically replaced by clever dialogue and the unexpected, humorous conclusion. Each character gave an excellent and praiseworthy performance, but in the language of the theatre, Mary Lou Foutz as Hetty, the hired girl, "stole the show." Her ignorance of social graces, coupled with her witty and entirely human actions, provided the humor and comedy which were largely responsible for the play's triumph. Ida Rose Langford in the role of Miss McGillicuddy ran a close second to Miss Foutz in capturing top honors for an entertaining performance. As a "maiden iads' by choice" she was continually having her dignity impaired by Mrs. Benson, an aged deaf boarder, portrayed by Paulina Morehouse. The amusing banter engaged in by these two kept the mirth of the audience at a high pitch during the evening. Dick West interpreted the character of an indolent, middle aged owner of the boarding house, who sincerely hated all the conventions of modern day life, with a special grudge against "wearing shoes." Intense realism was put into this role, emphasized by the fact that Mr. West did not overplay the part but was human and appealing as a country gentleman of "leisure." Marjorie Andelin as Mary Ann Smith, the young girl in love, and Earl Furniss, as Bill, her childhood sweetheart who was turned aside when young Mortimer Throttlebutton, supposedly a millionaire, appeared, created, under all the humor, a very sad situation. Betty Lou Balch to Represent Utah Betty Lou Balch was recently selected from among six contestants to represent Utah in an annual character and personality contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, to be held in Washington, D. C, April 18. The trip to the nation's capitol is an expense-paid journey. Miss Balch will spend three days in Washington with the winners of all other states in the union. During the visit a Continental congress of the national D. A. R. is staged, and the girls are introduced to many of the nation's leading people. The winner will present Mrs. Roosevelt with the D. A. R. award. Scholarship, d e p e n dability, leadership, and patriotism were the qualities on which the award was made.

States Jean Bedford, president Art Dept. Sponsors Chicago Exhibit By RUTH BOWEN An exhibit comprised of work produced in the fine art and commercial art classes of the American Academy of Art in Chicago, has been displayed in the art department since February 27. The collection of 25 paintings includes advertising and fashion illustration, still life, advertising art, and lettering. Mediums used in the display include charcoal, oils, water colors, and pen and ink. Farrell Collett, art instructor, who has studied at the American Academy of Art, comments on the exhibit: "This display from the art school has stimulated interest and assisted students in their own difficulties to such an extent that we will attempt to obtain several more of this nature and exhibit them at intervals throughout the year." Anyone interested in the exhibit is invited to witness it. Little has been said about our junior basketball team. The facts are that if the junior games had any official representation in the league standings, Ogden high school would be leading the race with ten victories and two defeats. This means that the juniors have won all six of their games against opposing teams. Statistics show this scrappy team of juniors even better than this, however, for only Logan has come within ten points of the Ogden boys. No other team has come within twenty points of them, and in many cases the Ogden hoopsters have doubled and even tripled the opponents' score. A worthy example of these cagers' supreme ability in both offensive and defensive artistry is the Bear River game, which ended with the Ogden juniors on the long end of a 43 to 8 score. This group of juniors composed of Howard Keeter, Dick Tuscon, Dick Herrick, James Martin, "Lefty" Pierson, Jay Hancy, Eddie Sarlo, Jack Lud- dington, Wayne Schofield. Leon Carnahan, Grant Anderson, and Gene Green, give very encouraging promises of a championship basketball team next year. As seniors, our hats are off to these cagers for their brilliant court work this season. Then Bob Brown Became the Hero Before a capacity crowd in the Tiger lair, the Orange cagers trounced the Bear River five, 23-20, in a close-fought nip-and- tuck struggle, March 3. Ogden nosed into the state joust by a slim three point margin in the final seconds. With the roar of the crowd, Larson tipped the ball and initiated the scoring as he chalked the first basket shortly after the toss-up . . . Woolsey attempted a long shot and fooled the panting Bears with a net. As the joyous Kapple men spread over the floor, the rival squad meshed a side shot that curled the rim. The score stood at six all for the first quarter. As the Red and Whites passed the ball, stalling for an opening, Larson captured the leather to rush business and shot to Sneddon. Bob shot but missed. The Bears pawed the ball, tried, missed, got a foul, and missed. Woolsey plunked fouls to score 8. The Tigers covered the floor, and in passing to break the Red and White defense, lost the ball to Bear River's No. 4 man, who arched a high shot through the twine. Then Boam pulled a surprise. He cached a long shot. It stunned the visitors. Boam fouled, the Bears missed the try. Then suddenly the quick Bears hurled a high pass over unsuspecting Boyle's head to tank an evening tally. A foul, and ttie Bears pulled away with a one point lead. Larson returned, and Sneddon magicked a long point 12. Half score: Bear River, 11; Ogden, 12. The Bears turned adversity backwards as they russled a scoring attack. The Kapplers _ , „ . ,, , took the defensive, but even then Bob Brown became the hero tanked counting p^ints Woolsey of the intramural basketball ^™„„Q,q *™,i „u~+„ —^ T „ of the club, "We hope to take first place with our costumes or booth.

Sportettes plans to meet in competition with the Bachelor Bowlers and to challenge the Juniorettes, junior sport club. league as he miraculously looped the winning basket in the final second of the play-off game between Company C and the Fourth Period gym class for the basketball championship. Brown's thriller came just as the gun sounded at the end of the first extra period. The final score read 27 to 25 for the drill boys. In the ping-pong tournament the fourth period gym class easily walked off with top honors by winning every match by 3. Ogde n Bone-Twisters Victorious in Meets The Ogden high school wrestling team, preparing for the coming state meet, recently turned back two teams from other schools. In the first match, the Tigers traveled to Granite high, where they upset the Salt Lake boys by a slim margin of 28 to 25. In its next contest, the squad pinned Weber in a return engagement by the overwhelming odds of 24 to 6. The Tiger team is rapidly improving and is destined to loom as the dark horse in the coming state meet. dropped foul shots and Larson raised the score. The Bears slipped one through the mesh; Walt copied; and as Larson failed, the Bears sank a basket. As the ball passed about the court, Sneddon snatched the leather and looped a long arc to tally the tying score. Third quarter, 18-18. Concrete deadlock held the ball in check until Dunn captured the ball and sank a one- armed put that made the board 20. The Bears attempted to duplicate the score—but failed. A double foul, and Sneddon pitched his last basket before he left the court. Boyle came in. The Bears missed. Larson fouled and was replaced by Hazen. The Bears looped a circling drop that snaked right out of the twine. Hazen stepped in, scooped the ball, and dribbled down the floor into the midst of the fight. A foul, and the Bears missed the crucial shot of the game for their score. The ball passed to Ogden. Dunn scooped and tanked the winning shot of the game. The seconds crept. The Bears twined the ball. The crowd went wild, and Fate kicked the Bears a hard one as the horn blew "23- 20, Ogden's favor!"
