Show Ogden High School Notes November 7, 1930 "Live to learn well and learn to; live well." WHERE THERE'S MUSIC "Music Is the art directly repre¬sentative of democracy," says Calvln Coolldge. "Let the love of lit-erature. sculpture. architecture and, above all. of music, enter into your lives," remarks Theodore Roosevelt and W. E. Gladstone thinks, "Music la one of the most forcible instru¬ments for training, for arousing and for governing the spirit of man." This year the band is doing much to further the interest of music in Ogden High, and to put spirit into all activities. The band Is composed of 55 mem¬bers. among whom are some of the finest students In Ogden High. The instrumental.on is fairly good, all ns being well balanced with the ;on of French horns and bass and alto clarinets. New members are welcome to Join the band even at this late date, if they will consult the director. Any student should be proud to belong to the band. And do thev have fun! The band will bo taken to the game at Logan, I it.', gueM.s of the .school. They will play for the American Red Cross and Friday, November 14, over KLO I (be sure to listen in). A concert is belnt: planned for ttie middle of December and the members will enjoy themselves at sevend banquets this year. Watch their smoke! The band would like the co-oper¬ation of the entire student body in working for a bigger and better bnd. Hiey. themselves, and the efficient Captain Lafe Snyder are making strides in their efforts to be a worthy representative of O. H. S and the R. O.T. C. YVONNE PEIRCE, Sponsor. STELLAE There are signs of mysterious movements umong the heavenly bodies this month. From the direc¬tion of the movements we judge that several budding luminaries will be eclipses In the very near future We base our deduction on the fact that: "Chuck" Peterson is seen dally struggling to get into the good graces of Venus and several other stars of the feminine order. "Papa" Judd complains of a strained back. Don't worryl One never knows where the blow will fall. A star of 11) feminine order Is gradually dimming "Brick" Morris* or "Mars red gleam The expected annihila¬tion of the rlfclng young planets will take place No\ember 14, however, the younf stars will be able to attend a I party afterwards. NEW HIGH SCHOOL It has long since ceased to be a debatable question as to whether or not Ogden should have a new high school building—It Is a necessity. One glance at the venerable build¬ing takes one dreamily back in mem- lorles to that certain period in his ton when out founder declared, "This is the place." True, we will say good-bye to our old building with a certain feelln regret, for It has been the wit Itu M to many a sparkling year on school spirit and enthusiasm. But thai i, not enough. Times have chand since then, bringing with thrn a change In population and en¬rollment. nec m fating a revision in architecture of the building. Every building Is constructed in accordance with its demands, but Ogden High School Notes November 11, 1930 VIRGINIA TRUE Editor Pro Tem THE GAME AT LOGAN Anybody miss the game Friday at Logan? If you did. you missed a real treat In spite of the fact that the trim made it up with Mr enthusiastic work and sports¬manship. The boys were game to the very end of the fight; not once did thev slacken when the odds were against them. Ogden high Is mighty proud of you, team. So here's to you. HALL OF FAME We nominate to the hall of fame: Mildred Drake, because she is a charming little senior who has always got something to say about the matter and because she is one of the best, little sports thn' ever graced our school wiih their presence. The U.I.C. that took a crowd of snappy. peppy students to Logan for the game and vet returned them safe and sound, if you don't believe be editor, ask the conductor. He Ogden High school has outgrown its previous demands. We need a new school, but students, don't lose hope. OUR ADVERTISING COLUMN Ninety-nine per cent pure—Row¬land Corry.

N. on the air, broadcasting by remote control from O. H. S. Meeting was called to order last Thursday by President Reardon. Old and new business was discussed. The juniors were then introduced to the club members. We all agree, jun¬iors, that you pass inspection A-1, even Miss Schofield and Mr. Widdison think so. The senior club members have planned for the juniors' initiation starting Thursday. Beware, jun¬iors! Bring to club all the courage you may possess or borrow, because —"We. the seniors of TaU Eta Nu, pass the verdict that no mercy shall be shown toward juniors as they are so insignificant." Tau Eta Nu now signing off until next Thursday. TRY-OUTS Try-outs for the school play have been postponed until Monday at 5 o'clock. Everyone who is trying out Ss advised to be there promptly and to do his best. BALL OF BLAME We invite to the ball of blame: John Cawley: Because he's not afraid of anything—unless it is a woman. Because he, to himself, has ;said, "I'm going to be great be¬fore I'm dead." Because once you meet him, you know him, and once you know him, you like him. Elpha Morse: Because a Morse is a Morse, bet it a Morse or a Morse. Because she's modest, quiet and sweet; would there were more like her. Because we hope she likes high school as well as high school likes her. RESOLUTION This Friday ends eight weeks of glorious school. We've had some band times so far, but couldn't we pave better? Let's resolve to come school next Monday morning yith a broad smile on our faces and nake each day more wonderful han the one preceding. The Notes Mshes everyone a happy week-end holiday. November 11, 1930 Vern Tomlinson because he cam. to our school a stranger to a greal many of us, but he made short worlM of that situation. Because some successful feminine impersonators might be dangerous, but Vern isn't Mary Walker because she is an ex¬ceedingly lovely girl who doesn't, make it very hard for anyone tr laugh with her. On Monday the American Legion honored us by sending Arthur Woolley as a speaker on Armistice day. Thank you, Mr. Woolley. We enjoved vour talk. The boys' glee club was in fine form and sang "The Bells of St Mary." VOLLEY BALL Inter-class volley ball tournament will start Wednesday at 3:30. Six teams have been chosen, one from each of the gym classes. ASSEMBLY FRIDAY Our assemblies this year have been unsurpassed by those of previ¬ous years. The order has been ad-mirable in comparison, and the pro¬grams have been the height of in¬terest. November 11, 1930 Last Friday marked another suc¬cess. Lee Richards gave us a French horn solo and a group of Weber stu¬dents cleverly advertised their game that came off on Armistice day. Here's luck to you, Weber. Were with you full force. Dr. E. P. Mills gave a most en¬tertaining talk on his European travels and a great many of us found ourselves envying him his in¬teresting experiences. A pep rally came next to get us in trim for the game. What en¬thusiasm! We students do know how to get pep into our songs and yells. A. D. M. Did you notice those happy young ladies strutting around the halls on last Wednesday? Oh, yes, the ones with the beautiful white "munis on their left shoulders just above their hearts. Perhaps if we let you in on a secret you will realize just why they were so thrilled. They were chosen for pledges to A. D. M. The luckv girls were Debby Wintle, Ella Jeffs, Marion Brown, Phyl¬lis Smuin, Alma Lane, Holly Arthur, Alice Dunn, Naomi Teuscher and Helen Allen. Just watch this club progress now. We Appreciate the enthusiasm aroused by the girls interested in the club. We are very sorry that we had to limit our choice to just nine girls, but cheer up, girls, ev¬eryone couldn't be born under a lucky star. MICKEY WEDELL, Reporter. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Why is it that the notes and all other publications of the school re¬peatedly pull the same old "gag" about "dumb" juniors? We realize that during the first few weeks of school we are rather "dumb" and slow in getting acquainted with our new surroundings. But, why must we continually have it thrown in our faces that we are the "scum of the earth," so to speak ? It is, perhaps, a joke the first or second time, but no joke is funny after the second telling. Yours very truly, AN INSIGNIFICANT JUNIOR. Dear Junior: It seems as if in all institutions of education that all upper class¬men feel a certain responsibility and elevation over those of the lower classes. Whether they really pos¬sess these traits or not is not going to come under this topic for dis¬cussion, but it does seem as if they do enjoy stressing an assumed su-periority. However, do not let it be much concern to you, for it does seem to be a senior's way of enjoy¬ing himself. And-then, of course, it will not last forever, for you, too, will be a haughty senior before long. Most sincerely, AUNT JANE. Ogden High School Notes November 12, 1930 Virginia True, Editor Pro Tem. Whether a man become a king or a beggar, there will always be the same eye, dark or grey, the same mouth, prudent or rash, the same hand; between this persistence of nature in each of us, and the endless variations of circumstance, our history passes as it were through the rollers of a printing-press, continually receiving the two-fold impression. —ALAIN. SCHOOL PLAY TRY-OUTS The final try-outs for our school play, "The Arrival of Kitty," were held yesterday at 5 o'clock in the gym. There was a great deal of original talent revealed and we thank the students for being so in¬terested in our school activities. The cast as it was finally chosen was as follows: Tinglepaugh George Thatcher Bobbie Baxter John Evans Kitty Benders...Dorothy Knowlden Jane Guinevere Woolley Aunt Jane Dorothy Wintle Benjamin More... .Andrew Brunetti William Winkler Rowland Corry, Glen Judd, Joe Foley. Sam Jim Riley CONGRESS Congress was called to order at 7:30 Monday evening by President Nelson, and, all preliminaries hav¬ing been dispensed with, another excellent waiting list debate on the subject, "Resolved: That a change to the thirteen month calendar should be approved" was given. No decision was rendered, but construc-tive criticisms were made, the de¬baters being commended for their exceptionally fine work. It was de-cided that a debate be given the next meeting on the chain store question, the affirmative to be up-held by Ruth Ames and Nathalie Layton the negative by those who are to debate Forum-Congress de-bate. The meeting was adjourned. As special note to those who are qualified to take the test on parliamentary law Congress wishes to. remind them that tests will be given Tuesday of next week. ARMISTICE ASSEMBLY We were very pleasantly surprised by an Armistice day assembly Mon¬day afternoon. The assembly, though short, was one of the finest we have had this year. The boys' Glee club sang "Bells of St. Mary." ana it certainly had both quality and quantity. We are certainly proud of you. This was followed by an exceedingly fine address by At¬torney Arthur Woolley. The theme of Attorney Woolley's talk was that out of the war there came a condi¬tion: We are all inclined to "lean on a lamp-post." This is because we all have too much done for us. "Our nation is too good to us, our state is too good to us, our city, our school, our families are too good to us. We must awake from this condition and learn to rely up¬on ourselves." The students always enjoy a talk by Attorney Woolley and we hope that he will take this into consideration and come to talk to us many more times. CHIT-CHAT We have learned that Sam Corn, an up and coming junior, has voiced his objections upon being elected to "The Hall of Fame." He mod¬estly remarks that he is not worthy of that grave responsibility. What a queer world this would be— If Lorna Malan suddenly decided to have a boyish bob. If Lafe Snyder began to think that he looked like John Boles. If Ruth Ames deliberately sluffed school. If you didnt see Bob Rushmer roaming the halls during the sev¬enth period. If Rowland Corry thought the world was too small for him to be a part of. If Andy Brunetti won an interna¬tional heavyweight championship. If Dorothy Nelson suddenly de¬cided to turn flapper. If Chuck Peterson got it into his head to turn girl-shy. And of course— If Mr. Merrill would suddenly decide not to come to school some bright Monday afternoon. SINCEREST SYMPATHY We have heard that a former teacher of Ogden High school, Mr St. Hilaire passed away while in the east during this last summer vacation. We are very sorry to hear this for Mr. St. Hilaire was one of our best liked teachers. We extend our sympathy to his family and to his many friends. Ogden High School Notes November 13, 1930 Many a man is on such good terms with himself that he never thinks of being pleasant to anyone else. CONGRATULATIONS High school is always exceedingly interested in those students who have been with us in previous years. It seems that Jim DeVine, an active student who was with us last year has been gaining honor and glory at other schools. Jim is going to the Moran prep school at Atascadero, Calif., and to show what he has been doing here is a quotation from the "Varda." "DeVine, a new fellow here, has already shown great possibilities. Being elected almost 'unanimously by the student body for sergeant-at-arms, and then re¬ceiving the president's appointment on the cabinet is certainly a thing to be proud of. We are sure that Jim will be a success." |
