Ogden High School Notes October 6, 1930 STUDENTS MOURN Ogden High students sincerely mourn the loss of one of her out¬standing students, Emerson Stone, who died on Friday evening last of typhoid fever. Emerson was one of our brightest as well as earnest and ambitious students. He would have graduated with highest honors with his class next spring. We extend to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Stone, brothers and sis¬ters our sincere sympathy. COMPLIMENT GIVEN Stanley Robins, manager of the Berthana hall, called the high school Saturday morning and said to Prin-cipal Merrill: "I wish to .congratu¬late the Ogden High school on its line boys and girls. There was more than a thousand here last evening and they conducted themselves as perfect ladies and gentlemen. They seemed to have a delightful time and we wore happy to see them enjoy themselves in such a clean and wholesome manner." NIGHT FOOTBALL The first game of night football in Utah was held at Ogden City sta¬ dium on Friday evening last before 3000 spectators. The game was be¬tween Weber college and the B. Y. university second team. It was evenyl matched and thoroughly interest¬ing throughout. The lighting and public address systems proved most satisfactory and every spectator was thrilled by the novelty of this new modern football performance. We are just a little doubtful, how¬ever, about night football becoming popular in this region, as October and November nights are a bit chilly to people used to steam heated houses and comfy enclosed automo¬biles. Again while the light is all that can be expected—it cannot compete with God's glorious sun¬shine in these glorious autumn af¬ternoons. HEAR THE BAND Evidently some sort of evolution is progressing in the band, for we fre¬quently hear quite a commotion in the assembly hall. FORCE OF HABIT We never realize the strength of habit till we get half way up the stairway opposite the wall. Ogden High School Notes October 8, 1930 By JOHN CAWLEY FOOTBALL BACKING Unfortunately Ogden High's first and second football squads were de¬feated in their practice games with Morgan and Granite. The teams are progressing rapidly, however, in preparation for the first game of the season with South Cache High school Friday, at South Cache. The football boys have been work¬ing since the first day of school to produce a team of which we can be proud. They have devoted more time to football work than most boys wov'd sacrifice under similar cir¬cumstances. Pleasure has been pushed aside and the team has been harnessed to a worthy task, which requires continual effort on the part of all participants. Our team has been doing and will continue to do its duty, but are we, the members of the student body, going to bear our obligations? Next Friday when our team dashes out upon the field we are going to sit back in pride and say, "that's our team!" But are we going to wither in shame and say also that the students are not supporting their team? No! We are going to turn out and back the team to the limit of our ability. We are going to shout in our utmost spirits and root for our team with all our might. We are going to feel that pride in the bottom of our hearts that is going to push our team over the goal. We are going to feel that spirit of loyalty that is found in the blood of every high school student. We cannot desert the best team that high school has ever produced, and we are not go¬ing to do so. That team needs its twelfth member, the student body, as badly as it needs the quarter¬back. Now, students, say you are going to attend that game Friday and push our football team to victory! PREVENT FIRE This week is Fire Prevention week. Perhaps you scorn the idea of observing such an undertaking, but those who scoff will probably regret their misconduct. No doubt you have all heard of the horrible disaster that occurred in the burn¬ing of a school building. For that reason you should all be conscien-tious in vour effort to protect your¬selves and your school from such a misfortune. All of you should ob-serve the rules of a fire drill as se¬riously as though it were a real fire, for your conduct affects the safety of probably every high school stu¬dent. In case of a fire drill act as y. have been instructed for you a observing Fire Prevention we which is a week of sincere effort s aside for a worthy cause. Fire dri vill automatically become a hal and an asset in time of an emegency. FORUM Forum held another rip-roar: meeting Monday night at the scht The main business was a debate tween two Forum members, and t visitors. The debate was of h quality and interest.

Many educational progra were heard by the students, appreciated this entertainment. Last year scholars Lave looked expect antly forward to another year c this musical appreciation, but t their disappointment they have nc heard a single program.

We hope to excite new interest in non-club members, for we find a desirable quality of club material in the Junior class.

Any one interested in this phase of activity may lead the students in yelling and thereby try out for yell leader. Our constitu¬tion provides that a committee of six shall select three yell leaders.

C.; Carpe Diem, Zeta Phi Xi, Joie Francaise, Phi Lambau Tau and A. D. M. This report was accepted. It was moved and seconded that a committee be appointed that would have full power to take care of school stationery. The motion was passed. Helen Van Buren announced that all presidents of girls' clubs should take part in a stunt to be put on soon. We were informed that D. A. C. was to be¬come a national honorary associa¬tion. The senior and junior classes were given permission to hold the annual water fight October 8.

And all you juniors who are just aching to see who, why and what we are, are going to get a chance next Wednesday to find our foi yourselves. We are going to give a selected few of you a treat—in full a program (what a program!) anc a chance to attend one of our regular meetings.

The adorable little librarian, Mrs. Ray¬mond, and the sweet little school "model," Miss Greene. Like them? We do! And—juniors and seniors—we want to ask your help in going strong for making dear "Old O. H. S." the best high school in the Union! We thank you. NAOMI WALL, Reporter. OUR COACH A print of The Standard-Examin¬er on Thursday, October 6, 1928, re¬vealed how distinguished one mem¬ber of our faculty really is. Over a picture of a crouching form in a famous football position was the headline, "Snorting Arizona Wild¬cat Puts Pep in Ute Line." Be¬neath this picture which seemed somewhat familiar to us was the following writeup: "Ernest (Baldy) Simkins, elon¬gated tackle from the wilds of Ari¬zona and star on the freshman squad of last year, is one of the green prospects at the U. of U. wl has an excellent chance to land regular berth on the Crimson squa 'Baldy' is about six feet two in h stocking feet and is a regular Arizona wildcat on the Crimson line This distinguished character wzi none other than Coach Simkins dour high school, so we see that wf have great possibilities in sports ai far as the coach is concerned. OUR DEAR TEACHER One teacher kindly invited all the boys of his seventh period class to find a new study hall today. The boys, somewhat puzzled, complied to this request. Since this, it has been concluded that he ordered the boys out for two reasons, namely: That he wants the girls' undivided attention, and that the boys dis¬turbed his daily nap. You see he has lost much sleep in getting up at 4 a. m. every morning to hunt his annual duck. A COMMITTEE This year a committee was ap¬pointed to investigate and promote the students' conduct in the assem-blies and m the halls. Dave Wangsgard spoke in our assembly as to the progression and intention of the committee. Some time ago an oral questionnaire was sent to all the classes by the same committee so as to let us know that it was active. SPONSORS The belles of high school are hav¬ing a little competition in gaining the favor of their prospective cadet officers. Thls year there are fewer officers from which to choose, due to the fact that there are only three companies in our R. O. T. C unit Nevertheless, someone is going to be made a sponsor, so keep up your spirits, girls, and hope for the best. WE SISTERS All senior girls are very proud of their little sisters, and the junior girls are thankful to have found their big sisters. This great get acquainted woject is exciting the girls enthusiasm and stimulating their scholastic association with each other. The big sisters find their little friends to be very apt learners and are pleased with their rapid progress. Entertainment for these sisters will be given in the as¬sembly hall Friday, where a program will be given under the super- school. Franny Foley, shortly before the game: "Say, are you Rudy Vallee's brother?" South Cache Player, puzzled: "No, why?" Franny: "Well, isn't this Cache Valley?" Rowland (sarcastically): "How many Sparks are there in a cap¬tain?" Marian (sharply): "I don't konw, but there sure is a lot of noise in our Holloway." SOCIAL AFFAIR To show we have some pep, too, a few of us little juniors are enter¬taining our Big Sisters at a lunch¬eon Friday noon at Keeley's. We are more than satisfied with our Big Sisters, and hope to show our ap-preciation in this manner. Our guests will be Lorna Malan, Dorothy Knowlden, Yvonne Pierce, Ruth Greaves, Blanche Allison and Helen Madson. INTER NOS Last Friday the Inter Nos club held its first meeting to elect offi¬cers for the semester. This is a Latin club which has been in exist¬ence for three years and is compos¬ed of those students who are con¬tinuing the study of Latin beyond the second year. The following of¬ficers were elected: Imperator (president), Alice Dunn; quaistor (treasurer), Holly Arthur: scribo (secretary), Robert Rushmer; censor (parliamentarian), Duane Darling; regina festivitatis, Imogene Locke. NIGHT FOOTBALL B. Y. U. and Weber college played a game of night football in the Ogden stadium, Saturday at 8 p. m. Ogden High students heartily supported the game and their cur¬iosity as to the feasibility of play¬ing football at night was complete¬ly satisfied when they observed the dexterity with which the teams played the game in the artificial daylight.
