THE THANKSGIVING DANCE The Thanksgiving dance was a huge success, according to Ed Olsen. The juniors are to be compliment-ed. Heretofore the seniors have looked upon the juniors as being in¬significant, but they have proven their worth at last. The Berthana is a wonderful ball¬room but Friday it surpassed itself. The floor was ideal the orchestra divine and the enthusiasm of the dancers perfect. We would like to know what that weighty discussion, going on be¬tween Elaine and Joe, was about. It must have been quite serious judg¬ing from the exression on Joe's face. Buy Now! We appreciate your cooperation, students. Here's to more dances like that one. STRANGE SIGHTS Wouldn't it be fun to see: 1. Florence Cave with a perma¬nent. 2. Elaine Evans with a long bob. 3. Mr. Kasius with a grouch on his face. Remona Wilson not giggling about something. Howard Malan not dressed up. Anita Van Dyke without Jim Riley in the "offing." Andy Brunetti a footfall hero. THE SCHOOL PLAY Nine energetic students and an en¬thusiastic director are working in¬cessantly on a project, "The Arrival of Kitty," which they will soon pre¬sent under the flying colors of the Ogden high school. We are all awaiting the eleventh and twelfth of December with much anticipation. A. D. M. A. D. M., the travel club, has been going places and seeing things very frequently, during this school year. Much of our success may be attrib¬uted to our active officers, Miss Lorna Evans, president, and Miss Audrey Clayton, secretary. According to our constitution new officers are to be elected every three months. This is the week. Who will be the next fortunate ones? We are all anxiously awaiting the outcome. THE HALL OF FAME We nominate to this exclusive or¬ganization, the hall of fame: Kay Moyes, because she not only got "her man" but keeps him. Be¬cause any "man" would be lucky to get her. A. B. Madsen, because he keeps even Jeanne guesslng. Ogden High School Notes November 26, 1930 Mickey Wedell, Editor Pro Tem TODAY Today is ours; what do we fear? Today is ours; we have it here. Let's treat it kindly, that it may Wish, at least, with us to stay. Let's banish business, banish sorrow; To the gods belongs tomorrow. —Cawley. A NEW BUILDING. Ogden will see a big change in the next five years; a bigger and better change than has taken place in the last five years. Knowing that our present building is inadequate, is it not wise to begin preparation for the inevitable? The date of the present building is unknown, though many historians have estimated that it was begun somewhere between the bronze j age and the last stone age, since in a few places one can see inscrip¬tions that closely resemble cuniform Thegpresent building was designed to accommodate six hundred students of the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. Today there are enrolled in these grades some two thousand students of the Ogden schools. Only half of these, the last two grades, are now housed in the present building. Many and oft repeated have been the pleas for a new building for Og¬den High school. It is a wonder to many why the school board has not built one, if only to quiet the perrenial "wail" of the High School Notes. Though this is only a drop in the bucket, it may help for, " 'tis not the 'eavy 'auling that wears out the 'orses 'oofs, it's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard 'ighway." THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB. Have you noticed the broad grin on Mr. Hansen's face these days? Well, you would grin too, you might even shout for joy if you were a mu¬sical director and had 56 boys in your glee club. We have the finest group of fellows in the history of the club, and our main ambition this year is to win back first place in the annual state glee club contest, next spring. We haven't made any public appearances this year—yet, But when we do you can expect to hear and see a snappy crowd of fel¬lows. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you the most important fact of all. Max Clark is our president, no club could want for a finer leader. With him as our president you can surely ex¬pect big things from us in the fu-ture. —J. C. F., Reporter. CARPE DIEM. Everything is perfect, for a jolly Thanksgiving—turkeys, pies, cakes, cranberries, beautiful crunchy snow, - skiing, gay parties and happiness. Carpe Diem wishes that everyone of you will truly enjoy the Thanks¬giving holidays. "Of all the expres-sions written on your face, joy travels farthest out to sea." —Lorna Malan, Reporter. UNUSUAL SIGHTS. Wouldn't it be fun to see: Porter Anderson with his golden locks done up into curls. Ella Jeffs with her hair cut "wind-blown." Ellis Cragun playing a violin instead of a clarinet. George Thacher not in an argu¬ment of some kind, make, or descrip¬tion. All of the students, upon com¬ing to school, find a brand-new high school, instead of this one. That would truly be a lot of fun. CONGRESS, The debate originally planned for Monday evening in Congress could not be given because of the un¬avoidable absence of one of the de-baters. In its stead interesting talks were given by members and those on the waiting list. The subjects covered ranged all the way from Olympic games to prohibition, and were inteeresting and well given. The two senators who are to debate Forum were then called upon to give their arguments, and these were commented upon and various sug¬gestions rendered. The order of the day next Mon¬day evening will be the annual Forum-Congress debate, to be held, in all probability, in Mrs. New- comb's room. The event will prove very interesting. Everyone interest¬ed hi debating is urged to attend. HALL OF FAME. We nominate to the Hall of Fame: 1. Lewis Perry because his favorite expression is "Hey." 2 Paul Sugar because he alone knows where money grows on trees. 3 Bernice Egan because she doesn't quite understand the art of typing. 4. Helen McKey because she cer¬tainly can do things on the "spur of the moment." THE 1930 GIRL. Girls change in style, speed, power and general make-up like automo¬biles, the new models putting the old ones out of date and relegating them to the discard. At least that seems to be the conclusion reached by women heads of some of the leading schools for girls—which used to be "female seminaries." One of the interesting changes in the 1930 model school miss in pur¬suit of higher education is her turn-ing away from smoking. After win¬ning the right to smoke in the re¬cent flapper years the girls of this year have actually requested that smoking be forbidden in certain recreation rooms. They have learn-ed, said the advisor to women of New York university, that smoking brings on unlovely lines about the mouth, makes them nervous and vitiates the air in their rooms. Pet¬ting and drinking are also on the wane and there is much less swear¬ing among them than formerly, ac¬cording to the same authority. The lady educators agree that the hoy- denish flapper type is no longer" considered up-to-date. With the re¬turn of longer skirts the girls have found that a little more modesty and reserve are quite effective. They no longer strive to be "mannish." At the same time these modern student misses are alert, healthy, in¬dependent and capable. They seem to have a real interest in things that are going on in which internationalism plays a prominent* but "the fashion of being a H ist has gone out." "The w9 of these new-model gjrl studal a lack of definite standards of the times—and a desire to! education as well as life amusing to them." —The School Musical Ogden High School Notes December 2, 1930 MICKEY WEDELL, Editor Pro Tem RESOLUTIONS No matter how strong a man's res¬olution may be, it costs him some¬thing 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 remember that over-abundant sup¬ply of food that prevailed on that enticing table. The daily routine is now followed as if nothing had ever happened. We were all thankful very many things that have been rendered to us throughout the year. Let us keep in mind that no matter how humble we may be we are nev¬er too humble to give thanks. A. D. M. The meeting was called to order. Oh, yes, of course that was truly expected. A sort of a quiet atmos¬phere prevailed throughout the room, this is quiet unusual for a meeting of A. D. M. The secretary called the roll with a mournful ex-pression on her face, and "Madam Chairman," well that expression can¬not be described, it was the kind that 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 Flora are our new officers. We hope that they will be as successful as their predecessors were. Luck to you, girls. THE REST ROOM In addition to the many other services which the Girls' association 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 except 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 furnished by the Girls' association for 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 former student of Ogden high, who Hi attending Reed college at Portland, Oregon. Reed college allows time for extra curricular activities and very little for athletics but Hen¬ry is enjoying school very much. He is majoring in political science mil is doing very well. We hope he ifflj continue to remember that Ogden high still exists although he is now one 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 bod has cared for the commercial depart¬ment, the other needs of the schcw are pressing more clearly to m front. The school needs a gymntsium and a library. The physical ucation of the students is suffering for want of the former and the school work for the latter. It seen almost cruel to keep over four htodred students during the coldrtH ter months indoors without ecise. To develop boys and girls tem young men and women is the task of the high school. To do this proM rly the physical and intellects must go hand in hand. In addition a good gymnasium would mean much to the social and athletic Idt of the school. To maintain the lilt spirit and efficacy of the school, boil are absolutely essential, under present difficulties athletic spirit is heavy task." And thus on and Principal Thomas wrote for ro pages. In the past twenty-five years tfck subject has been treated perent by principals, teachers, patrons bu largely without avail. We now tail a fairly good library, but it is crow ed and cramped. And we have gymnasium, really, nor what is quit as necessary, no assembly hall, fa needs are keenly felt by the peopai of this community and all are aw¬ing, we need a new high school but somehow or other we just ditl get it.
