Show November 13, 1930 OUR NEW TEACHERS Because we have several new teachers with us this year it is to every student's advantage to be¬come acquainted with them if they have not done so already. It is interesting to note that our dramatic art teacher, Miss Mary Woolley is an outstanding member of the Ogden High alumni. Throughout her training she has been especially noticed in dramatic work both here and at the B. Y. U. in Provo. She is an excellent teacher and we students are certainly proud of her. Through her energetic and enthusiastic work this promises to be a pretty big year for us. Mrs. Edna P. Wade is a distin¬guished English teacher who came to Ogden High this year. She orig¬inally came from Mento, Iowa, and received her college education at the Drake university of Des Moines, la.. the University of Utah and at Stan¬ford university. She has had num¬erous experiences in teaching in various parts of the United States. We all hope that she likes our school as well as we do her. JUST A LITTLE FORESIGHT Points of interest appearing in the notes of 1950: A special dispatch to the Notes from New York informs us that Mr. Paul Goddard, an alumnus of this school, is rapidly recovering from injuries he received while on his way to attend the premier per-formance of his old-time school friends, Dorothy Knowlden, Yvonne Pierce and Ruth Greaves at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, where they have gained much success and renown with their work. It is of interest to note that Mr. Goddard is especially interested in this particular performance since he is the author of this celebrated masterpiece. It has been finally agreed that Ogden is to have a new high school. Work will begin sometime next spring when the weather proves favorable. The Honorable Joseph C. Foley, always noted for his ambitious in¬tentions, has been appointed by President Corry as chief justice of Miss Helen McKay has successfully placed on the market her non- falling face lifter. Great returns are expected from this latest inven¬tion. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The music department has been exceptionally active this year and has done a great many worth-while things already. With such high standards to live up to I think we might expect a great deal from them during the remainder of the year —Alreadv Mr. Hansen has selected the Christmas cantata and is plan-ning to make something big out of it. It is to be "The Greatest Gift," by H. W. Petre and will be first put on at Ogden High school on the 19th of December. Another per¬formance will be given the follow¬ing Sunday at one of the churches. Besides the leading parts there will be a chorus of one-hundred-thirty regular students. The orchestra will accompany them and special decor¬ations are to be furnished. With such an ambitious music depart¬ment. Ogden has a great deal to look forward to. COURTEOUSLY RECEIVED The Ogden football team was most courteously received at Idaho Falls on Armistice day. The team was assigned to most comfortable rooms in the beautiful new Hotel Bon¬neville, and were dined at the New Chesapeake cafe. The boys, as you know, were warmly received on the football field and were shown some of the classiest, most spectacular football they ever witnessed. The four touchdowns were all from mid- field—spectacular and thrilling- following most expert passing back and forth in the backfield. Our boys, however, put up a mighty good fight, realizing very early in the fray that they were up against the hardest team we have met this year. Joe Maddock, former Uni¬versity of Utah coach, coaches the team and he modestly admits that his team has not met defeat in the last three years. Naturally, folks, we just couldn't have the heart to break such a record, after they had treated us nicely. Ogden High School Notes November 17, 1930 Virginia True, Editor Pro Tem.)

THANKSGIVING DANCE Everything's perfect for the dance Friday: the weather is glorious and we're all set—that is—if all you handsome Romeos have grabbed your lucky little dates. If you haven't there is still a last minute opportunity for you. Make a wild scramble for the telephone and get her before someone else beats you to it, for there are still a great many lovely "inspirations" waiting rather patiently to accept your be-lated invitations. OUR NEW TEACHERS If there is anyone who has missed the opportunity of becoming ac¬quainted with Captain Sparks they have missed a real treat, for he is one of the most interesting mem¬bers of our faculty. Besides being new in our school he was a stran¬ger to this part of the country. He has, however, been in a great many other places—in Panama from 1914- 1918, in Europe during the World war, where he served as a cavalry officer, and then more recently has had his headquarters in the south¬ern part of the United States. He is exceedingly pleased with high school's R. O. T. C. unit and sees great possibilities for it. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please give me a little bit of knowledge about the Thanks¬giving dance? Is it to be informal? Can girls go stag? Do we get in on our Student Body cards? If not, what is the price of admission? Are there any more dances this year that we can get in with our Stu¬dent Body cards? And also, will you tell me why the editor of the O. H. S. Notes al¬ways has the same click of people's names in the "Hall of Fame"? Is that fair? —Esmeralda. Dear Esmeralda: As to the Thanksgiving dance this coming Friday at the Berthana: All of high school's dances are infor-mal. That is to say, the boys do not go in tuxedo or dress suits, but the girls usually do wear their par- tv dresses. All formality such as sending flowers is dispensed with, Although the Student Body tickets do not admit you to any more dances this year the price of admis¬sion is nomipal. For this particu¬lar dance the price is 75 cents cou¬ple, or 50 cents for those who go stag. There are a few parties dur¬ing the year when it is permissible for the girls to go stag, but for the most part it is not customary. It would be better for the girls to get busy and make these young boy friends wake up. For the past few weeks there have been different editors for the Notes. During each week each successive editor has done his best to make the notes interesting for all. If it seems that there has been needless repi- tition as to their nominations to "The Hall of Fame," you could help the editor immensely if you would drop your suggestions into the O. H. S. Note Box. It is not possible that one editor can know everyone in the school. Most sincerely, —Aunt Jane. CHIT-CHAT Nominations to the Hall of Fame: Joyce Hall, because she is sweet and modest. Because she has "it" in large quantities. Because she is an up and coming junior. Because of her pretty smile and winning ways. Ella Jeffs because she has an unforgetable personality. Because she is a real friend to all whom she knows. Maxine Malan because her sweet, winsome ways win for her many lasting friends. Gene Goddard, another enterpris¬ing and youthful junior, because his brother, Paul, hasn't got a thing that Gene hasn't. Frank Grasteit because he will go down in history for not voicing his famous last words. We may be wrong, but we have heard-- That Fannie Foley doesn't believe in such long noon hours. It's too hard on the constitution when grape fights are concerned. That John Hopkins is a changed man. That MaLoo Dobbs has made de¬termined resolution for her next; year at Ogden High. That Vera Young would like to be famed for his ambitious inten¬tions. interested group ot applicants: The order was excellent and An¬dy's speech was grand. All of the students who are in¬terested in dramatics and who were not there missed something, because all of Andy's speech was comprised of the expectations, requirements, and the conditions of the people who are so fortunate as to be ac¬cepted as pledges into D. A. C. Be sure to come on time to the next meeting, Thursday, at 3:30 p m., or you will be locked out of half the meeting, as well as marked tar¬dy. You know the significance of three tardy marks, pledges. D. A. C. expects and demands punctuality. —Mildred Drake, Reporter. SPECIAL ASSEMBLY We have been having a great number of agreeable surprises when assemblies are concerned. This year ought to go down as famous for its interesting assemblies. High school was honored today by an address from Dr. Spriggs of Boston, Mass. He is a famous traveler and his talk appealed to us immensely since it included his expe¬riences in Africa, Asia and France. Our sincerest appreciation, Dr. Spriggs, we hope that you will honor us with your presence again. D. A. C. REPORT Andy spoke to an assembly Thurs¬day at 3:30 p. m. The audience was an eager, alert Ogden High School Notes November 18, 1930 RUTH AMES, EDITOR PRO TEM Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the un¬dertaker will be sorry.—Mark Twain. OGDEN WALLOPS EAST The game Saturday brought to a close a successful football season for Ogden High. And the boys surely covered themselves with glory. The field was covered with a layer of snow, was plenty wet and muddy, and added to that the day was bit¬terly cold. Nevertheless, the Tigers came through brilliantly, beating the Leopards, 19-0. East has a strong team and fought hard, but we are proud to say that we have a much stronger team and fought harder. Everyone who was there can truly say that the game was a thriller. Taking into consideration the zero weather and the fact that many of the students had to work, the representation from Ogden was fine. These loyal supporters showed they were with the boys all through the game. That's the spirit! We greatly missed the band after the splendid showing it has made at the other games and on Armistice day. Since many of its members had to work, the absence was un¬avoidable. DO YOU KNOW? Do you know: That Franny is a swell radio an¬nouncer? That Andy's two favorite phrases are: "Bear this in mind" and "Now if you'll all sit in the same place"? That at the age of two and a ,half weeks Nora Hawkins memorized the poem that goes "Laugh and the world laughs with you," and it has stuck with her ever since? That at the game Saturday there were actually a few ice creams the little stand failed to sell? That Confucius laid the cornerstone for the Ogden High school? That if you are a student of that worthy art, sarcasm, you would do well to attend the Congress-Forum debate, which will occur shortly? THE LIBRARY "In books lies the soul of the whole past time."—Carlyle. What a world of magic we enter into through the medium of books; how many everlasting friends we make! Richard De Bury, statesman and scholar, monk and lord chan¬cellor, collector and author, has ex-pressed these thoughts most com¬pletely when he says: "In books we find the dead as it were living; ml books we foresee things to come. These are the masters who instruct, us without rods and ferules, with¬out hard words and anger. If you approach them, they are not asleep; if investigating you interrogate them they conceal nothing; if you mis¬take them, they never grumble; if you are ignorant, they cannot laugh at you." In Ogden High school we have a fine library which is invaluable to our school. We should regard it asfl a privilege to use the library; we should make its contents our friends, thus deriving a wealth oil enjoyment. We are fortunate ial having a capable librarian, who is at n all times patient and ready to helpij us. She asks only that we, in retrim, be quiet and considerate of the rights of others; that we take good care of the books and bring them back when they are due. Often classes are handicapped greatly because a student has failed to return a book loaned to him. We can surely do these small things in order to show our appreciation. ASSEMBLY The assembly Monday morning was a joy to everyone. We do notl recall having heard a speech so amusing and enjoyable, and at the same time so educational and help¬ful. Principal Merrill introduced the speaker to us as an extensive trav¬eler of note, a collector and author of books, a lecturer—Doctor George Spriggs of Boston. Dr. Spriggs told most interestingly of his travels In Africa, Australia, India and France, in an inimitable way. At the close of his speech he promised he would be back again, and already we are looking forward to another pleasant visit. The student body showed its appreciation of Dr. Spriggs' talk by the thunderous applause it gave him. Besides this, we had another treat. The girls' quintet, which is com¬posed of Audrey Clayton, Dorothy Crawford, Florence Steckel, Helen Allen and Winona Alson, played beautifully. This is the first time we have heard them this year, but we hope they will play many more times. Willis Smith spoke to us of an activity which has been greatly neg- i lected, banking. It isn't a record we're out for, it isn't that we want to make misers of anyone, for we do I not; it is the habit of thrift we want to establish in ourselves. So let's take Mr. Smith's advice and bank' every Tuesday. Ogden High School Notes November 19, 1930 Ruth Ames, Editor Pro Tem.

On Monday at 3:30 o'clock, Presi¬dent Cawley called to order a senior class meeting for the purpose of dis¬cussing the senior class pins and rings. This year we can receive pins and rings of the same excellent quality for a lower price than be¬fore. Any student can be proud of this emblem of Ogden High, and it will always mean a great deal to him. If we don't have the greater part of the orders in by Saturday, the low prices will be unavailable. So let's all get our orders for pins and rings in very soon. CONGRESS. Congress was called to order Mon¬day evening and Miss True, repre¬senting the membership committee, reported that waiting list tests would be given November 18 in room 203. Another excellent waiting list debate was then given on the subject,; "Resolved, That all drivers should have licenses." Because one of the debaters was unavoidably detained, t only three debated, and no decision was given. After constructive criucism had been given, the judges for the Forum-Congress debate were dis¬cussed and the suggestions approved (after a somewhat lengthy discus¬sion) by Forum. The meeting was then adjourned. More girls are coming out each week for Congress. We are glad of this, and it is still not too late to start coming. So hurry before our membership vacancis are filled. HALL OF FAME.
