Ogden High School Notes November 3, 1930 A word kindly spok/n A deed kindly done Will make clouds broken And reveal the sun. BE A SPORT Of all things in life that makes Ml outstanding, we may surely put good sportsmanship In the lead. Over and over sportsmanship has I born preached to you all your lives, but It has not penetrated your souls. Students, let's make Ogden High famous for Its sportsmanship. We can do this only by being able to "take" as well as "give." Please help us succeed by making our efforts AN A-1 ASSEMBLY The program sponsored by the Dramatic Art club was certainly A-l. The students and teachers seemed completely lost to the world (1 Colonel Hilton Introduced the captains and sponsors; (2) Bobby Jones, president of Weber County High, addressed the student body; (3) during the presentation of the "Little Brown Jug," and the acceptance of the same; while the girls' 'trio sang "Bluebird of My Heart" (Dorothy Knowlden. Yvonne Peirce and Ruth Greaves); while Jim Riley gave his reading; while Bobby Jones delivered his oration; while Andy delivered his reading, and the roof was almost raised during the peppiest pep rally ever given in O. WERE WE STUNG? Our game, which we lost mighty heavily, was only a failure in score, everyone who attended the game knows that our boys fought their hardest to keep the Bees from sting-ln-: them. They were stung, but, Oh, my, what sportsmanship they I Showed. Never, until the very fin¬ish of the game, did they stop fighting. The support of the stu¬dent body was sccrtalnly fine. We are proud of our school, and although we lost in score to a decid¬edly superior team, we feel we have won In sportsmanship. OUR YELL LEADERS Our yell leaders are the very best, However they can't make us yell. We ought to at least be able to help our yell leaders by giving them our voices. We want to thank our cheer leader for their splendid work so THE LITTLE BROWN JUG The Ogden High school students are very happy to be the proud pos¬sessors of the "Little Brown Jug" for another year. Friday in our as¬sembly it was presented to us by Bobby Jones, President of the Weber County High school, and ac¬cepted by President Corry. Let's not lose it again! HALL OF FAME We nominate to the hall of fame: Florence Cave, because she claims to be a "high flier"; because she is experienced in the art of "make up.", Hermese Broadbent, because she is a schemer. Schemer of what? Why, she is scheming schemes so that she'll be a sponsor next year. Janet Parks, because when peroxide blondes see her, they always want to know what kind of peroxide she uses. Because she gives a penny for his thoughts and is still single, COME ON GIRLS! On the coming Wednesday there will be another swimming party— for all girls of O. H. S. Come on girls and enjoy the sport! VOLLEYBALL SERIES The volleyball tournament is ad¬vancing rapidly. In the classes on each Monday and Wednesday the teams play. As soon as the class champs are chosen there will be some very keen com¬petition in the interclass fight. Everyone interested may see these games as they will be played after school hours. THE NOTES To all club reporters and class re¬porters: The editor of the notes would certainly appreciate your co-operation in making the notes in¬teresting. Each week please Send in Reports of the week. To all students: Aunt Jane has a corner in which she will gladly help you solve your problems. Don't neglect her or she is apt to resign.

OUR LAST GAME The closing football game of Og¬den High school for the season will be held at Logan on Friday of this week. We have played four games thus far, losing two and winning Ogden High School Notes November 4, 1930 MICKEY WEDELL, Editor Pro Tem RESOLUTIONS No matter how strong a man's resolution may be, it costs him something to carry it out, now and then. GEORGE ELIOT. THANKSGIVING Turkey dinners, parties, and all sorts of gay times are over. Thanks¬giving day Is now a thing of the past, even If some of us can still f remember that over-abundant sup¬ply of food that prevailed on that enticing table. The dally routine is now followed ns if nothing had ever happened. Wr were all thankful verv many things that have been rendered to us throughout the year. Let us keep In mind that no matter how huhtbio we may be we arc nev- Irr too humble to give thanks. A. D. M. The meetlnr was called to order. Oh, yes. of course that was truly expected. A sort of a quiet atmosphere prevailed throughout the room, this Is quiet unusual for a meeting of A. D M. The secretary called the roll with a mournful ex- ion on her race, and "Madam Chairman," well that expression can¬not be described. It was the kind that I occurs only once In a lifetime. But the reasons for all of these queer expressions were few and plain. That was the last meeting over which they held office. The secret of It all is that Lorna was re-elected and Roberta and Mora are our new officers. We hope that they will be as successful as I their predecessors were. Luck to you, girls. renders to the school is one which is not generally known. This is the maintenance of the girls' rest room. The rest room is situated at the north end of the east hall on the bottom floor and is open all during the school day. Every period ex¬cept the first finds two girl students there as attendants to serve any¬one who requires any attention. The rest room was designed to accom¬modate girls who are too ill to re¬main in class and who may, by rest¬ing a period, return to their classes. The Girls' association provides med¬icinal supplies for this purpose. In addition there is a sewing kit also urnished by the Girls' association lor one to use in mending that un¬expected "run." The rest room has some competent attendants this year and they are at your service, girls. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: We would like to know when we will be able to have our year book pictures taken. Many seniors would like to have them before Christmas for Christmas presents. Any infor¬mation on this will be appreciated. TWO SENIORS. Dear Seniors: A definite plan has not been drawn up as to when the student pictures will be taken. However, I doubt very much if they will be ready for Christmas presents. They will prob¬ably be taken later on in the school year. AUNT JANE. NEWS FROM OREGON A very interesting letter has been received from Henry Aiken, a for¬mer student of Ogden high, who is attending Reed college at Portland, Oregon. Reed college allows no time for extra curricular activities and very little for athletics but Henry is enjoying school very much. He is majoring in political science and is doing very well. We hope he will continue to remember that Ogden high still exists although he is now gne of our illustrious alumnae. AN OLD, OLD STORY In 1905 Dr. George Thomas, now president of the University of Utah, was principal of Ogden high school. In the annual student publication he wrote: "Now that the school board has cared for the commercial depart¬ment, the other needs of the school are pressing more clearly to the front. The school needs a gymna¬sium and a library. The physical ed¬ucation of the students is suffering for want of the former and the school work for the latter. It seems almost cruel to keep over four hun¬dred students during the cold win¬ter months indoors without exer¬cise. To develop boys and girls into young men and women is the task of the high school. To do this prop¬erly the physical and intellectual must go hand in hand. In addition, a good gymnasium would mean much to the social and athletic life of the school. To maintain the life, spirit and efficacy of the school, both are absolutely essential, under pres-ent difficulties athletic spirit is a heavy task." And thus on and on Principal Thomas wrote for two pages. In the past twenty-five years this subject has been treated perennially by principals, teachers, patrons but largely without avail. We now have a fairly good library, but it is crowd¬ed and cramped. And we have no gymnasium, really, nor what is quite as necessary, no assembly hall. The needs are keenly felt by the people of this community and all are say¬ing, we need a new high school," but somehow or other we just don't get it. When, O when, we wonder BASKETBALL BEGINS Although basketball league games do not begin until the last of Janu¬ary, Coach Kapple has already ar-ranged eight pre-league games. He says he has an abundance of ma¬terial which he is anxious to try out He has arranged double games, one at home and one away in each case, with West, Grantsville, Tooele and Davis high as follows: Ogden vs. West, December 9 at Salt Lake and January 16 at Ogden. Ogden vs. Davis at Ogden Decem¬ber 12, and at Davis December 17. Ogden vs. Tooele at Ogden Decem¬ber 19, and at Tooele December 23. Ogden vs. Grantsville at Grants¬ville December 24 and at Ogden Jan¬uary 2. BANQUET COMING UP The annual banquet for football boys is coming up soon. Friday eve¬ning, December 12, has been decid¬ed upon tentatively at the date for this function. As this is the night of the school play the banquet will be called early so as to be able to at¬tend the play. This banquet is sponsored by the board of education and superintendent and is paid by the sponsors personally in appreciation of the team. CHAMPIONS TO PLAY Ogden high school is champion of Ogden city. East is champion of Salt Lake City. It is fitting, there¬fore to see which city has the better team. Next Saturday we shall find out for East meets Ogden at Ogden in a post-season game. This will be a fitting climax of the year and should draw will draw a big Ogden High School Notes November 5, 1930 RUTH GREAVES, EDITOR PRO Tem LUCILLE SPENCER, TYPIST A bore is a fellow whose stuff al¬ways gets a hearty laugh when mine merely provokes a smile. WHAT OGDEN HIGH LACKS Much has been said, of late, re¬garding the spirit that reigns in Og¬den High. We say Ogden High lacks something; with plenty of democratic spirit, an organization lacks nothing. We say that we have so many inconveniences to bear and that perhaps with a better building we could have more school spirit. That is not so—our school is what we make it. Discontentment is a commond human ailment, so we may as well be happy with what we have, as to be unhappy with what we can't have. Of course, Og¬den High lacks something—our co¬operation. Watch a colony of ants patiently working together, little by little hauling the carcass of a grasshopper to some safe place to be equally shared by all, and there you have a ,fair illustration of co-operation. We can't all be leaders. Some of we must belong to the ranks; still there is the compensation of know-ing that if it were not for us whe make up the ranks there would be nothing to lead! So here's for a better spirit in Og¬den High—let us all forget our past (juniors especially)—look carefully and broadmindedly after the pres¬ent, and the future will take care of itself. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Vern Tomlinson. Because he's new here—trying to get acquainted. Because when he has nothing else to do evenings, he studies. Because greater men than he have , lived—but he doubts it. Helen Van Buren. Because she is alike to all and liked by all. Because she's not afraid to do more than her share. Because we simply couldn't do without her. Raymond Raty. Because he's the brightest of Stellae's shining stars. Because he's so very "raty" in our school. Because when Joe Foley dies he'll be the handsomest man on earth. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB 'Tis sure nothing has been heard from the Girls' Glee club as yet this year, but we are planning big things. There are over fifty girls enrolled, and day by day in every way our voices are blending more perfectly. If any girl, since seeing her report card, has decided that she must drop some subject and take up another, join the glee club, for fifty girls can't be wrong. This does not mean, however, that a better mark is guaranteed for every girl works and earns what she rightly deserves in music. We promise you that sometime soon, you're going to get a real treat when we begin to rlisplaiy our talents. SCHOOL PLAY The tryouts for the school play, "The Arrival of Kitty," will be held either Thursday or Friday after school. This is a three-act farcical comedy written by Norman Lee Swartant. There are five leading parts for boys, and four leading parts for girls. Each part is equally im¬portant and there is a great oppor¬tunity for developing your talents. Every student who is the least bit inclined, dramatically, should cer¬tainly try out. CONGRATULATIONS The following is an excerpt of a letter from H. M. Kelly, senior rang¬er naturalist, to Dorr Yeager, Yel-lowstone park naturalist: "May I commend the very fatihful and very efficient work of Willis Smith, the naturalist stationed at Fishing Bridge. While I had no op¬portunity to hear his evening lec¬ture, from many sources I have learned that it has met the needs of the tourists newly arrived within the park, in a highly satisfactory manner. I have shared in a number of his hikes, and would commend them heartily in every respect." AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Could you tell me if we are excused to go to the game this Friday at Logan? I think we should be, as I understand that it is a game which will decide whether or not we hold second place.—An Enthusiastic Senior. Dear Senior: We shall probably be excused at noon Friday to go to the game. We urge every student who possibly can to attend this game and support the team properly.-—Aunt Jane. SAFETY FIRST Should Ogden High run an excur¬sion to Logan on Friday, the prin¬cipal and faculty recommend that all students go by way of the Utah-Ida¬ho Central electric line, in the. spe¬cial cars which will be secured. This is a day of automobile acci¬dents and the teachers feel that it is best to play safe. Let's all go together over the elec¬tric line. CHATTER AND CHAFF There's a certain girl around school who is thrilled from head to toe the moment the band begins to play. Can you guess who she is? The only difference between a ju¬nior and a pin is that the pin has a head. Fred Morris has been trying to memorize "Those Little White Lies" for two months. As soon as he gets them memorized he'll start telling them. If there's anything Helen Tanner loves to do, it's to "root" for the team. Frannie Foley says that the luck¬iest girl in Ogden High is the girl who rates a date with him. I ask you—what are the poor little un¬lucky girls going to do? Fortunate is the girl who gets Bob Kimball. She'll never have to worry about money matters for Bob certainly knows how to make 'dough."
