our club, but our constitution limits us to a certain number. We can only have three new artists. Tune in a week from Thursday and learn who the lucky ones are. —Mary Islaub, Reporter. feminine hoopsters. All the gym girls are "anti-cipatorially" looking forward to the basketball season. Miss Schofield says there will be some keen competition! --Elma Skelton. FORUM. Forum betlittle by their last debate with Congress, decided to avenge themselves, so they challenged the girls for a debate to be held immediately after the Christmas holidays. Forum will be represented by Sheldon Winkler and i Ellis Cragun; with such a fine pair of debaters we feel we can justly rdo the avenging act against the ipirls. Assembly discussion took place for a short time, and, in as much as we cannot arrange a date before Christmas, our assembly will come immediately after the Christmas holidays. We are expecting some interesting school debates soon, so we have plenty of work to do along this line, Yet, we have a group of fine de¬baters to carry the responsibility, hus we are looking ahead to a fine year.

Mrs. Newcombs stu¬dent handed in scrapbooks of sub¬jects which Interested them. Most among the collection were books of engineering, farm life, printing, biographies of famous authors, inventions, musicians, and historians, holidays, movie stars, dancing, poetry (original and collected), and many other various subjects neatly done and deserving much credit. Of special interest was the following letter Mildred Drake received from O. E. Rolvaag In answer to her request for for Information On his life: Dear Miss Drake: In the introduction to "Giants in the Earth," you will find all the information on me that you need. If that isn't enough you may read the article concerning me in the American magazine for March, 1928. Wishing you well in your undertaking, I am Yours sincerely, O.E. ROLVAAG. TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT students, tonight's the first night of Kitty's appearance, debut, pardon, we mean arrival. She arrives at the Washington junior high school tonight at 8:15. Everyone be there on time to give her a rousing welcome. If you lose your tickets on the way, don't worry, there'll be plenty more at the door. FROM INSIGNIFANCE Three pledges walked bravely and one staggered upon the platform before the critical members of D.A.C. to prove that the assertion that ll pledges (and more so if they are juniors), are insignificant, has exceptions. They excellently proved there are exceptions. Thanks to them for doing so. We wouldn't have known it if they hadn't. We excuse sennors from insignificance. This program is the first in which any pledge has participated. The pledges to take part were Virginia True, Elma Skelton, Donald Miller, and Lavon Thorpe. These students have made a very important step toward eligibility for membership in the club. MILDRED DRAKE, Reporter. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our exclusive and most noted hall of fame: Mr. Hanson: Because he has adopted the "third degree." Because he will be generous (after the cantata). Because he believes "A" means perfect. Lynn Foley: Because he can't get to class on time because there are too many girls in the halls. Because he agrees with nearly everyone. Nora "Babe Ruth" Hawkins and Andy Brunetti "Mussolini": Because they will soon stage their duel and a little difficulties (wonder what weapons they'll use?). Any student who received all "A's" because it is an honor as great as being in the hall of fame. CHRISTMAS DANCE Do you realize that just one week from tomorrow night is the night of our annual Christmas dance? Fellows, after the school play you can start saving your money to purchase your ticket for this gala affair (in case you have nothing else to save it for). The other necessity besides your ticket is a date. Give your "dream" girl a break before it's too late. JOIE FRANCAIS Oh, what a meeting! Is it possible that there will ever be another like it? President Wall: "Will the meet¬ing please come to order, while the secretary reads the minutes, and cnlis the roll?" Margaret, sit down." Are there any corrections, 'Doro¬thea, be still,' to the minutes? "Echo, will you please 'order' get here on time?" And thus continued our meeting, until away off in a wee corner was heard Marian suggesting that we go home. But wait, our party! Every¬one be prepared for a wonderful tlme on December 20. Let's make it the night of nights. Meeting then adjourned. DOROTHEA VARNEY, Reporter. CHATTER AND CHAFF Have you noticed the starved looks on the fare of the football boys? Well, you know it's proper to fast for at least a week before a ban¬quet of any kind and we understand this is to be a banquet of "swellest" kind. The meanest man in the world is ihe professor who borrowed a student's pencil to mark him down a "flunk." Remember Einstein flunked his math. Arleen Hampton: I think the poorest people are the happiest. Eldon Lowham: Then marry me, and we'll be the happiest people on earth. An embrace is nothing divided by two. GREGG ARTISTS Have you students heard about the party the Gregg artists gave on Thanksgiving eve? If you haven't just ask Dave about it; or ask Flor¬ence how her knees feel by now, and ask Mary and Ruth if their glands are any better. If you ask a few of these questions we are sure you will realize what a wonderful time we had. We are planning a Christ¬mas party which we hope will be as successful as our Thanksgiving party was. Adios. M. I., Reporter. R. O. T. C. PROGRESS During the past few weeks, the cadets have enjoyed the benefit of a series of talks prepared and pre¬ sented by Captain Sparks. The first series (one occurring each morning) thoroughly reviewed "musketry." This topic constitutes the science of firing small arms that include the rifle, the automatic rifle and the machine gun. A complete study on the part of the cadets revealed to ihem ihe strategies of musketry. The boys have received this work en¬thusiastically as was proved by the excellent results obtained from a test on the subject that was given last Thursday. Captain Sparks is conscientiously t riving to benefit the cadet corps at high school, and he is making a .,plendid success. We want the co¬operation of every individual in re¬gard to this enterprise and surely the inevitable result will be a bigger and better group of scholars. JOHN CAWLEY. ON HOLDING HANDS As he placed that hand in his own, And pressed it close to his chest, He dared not whisper a sound, Nor even breathe, at best. He squeezed it lightly, and knew That it meant lots of good things, For whatever hand in the world Could beat an ace and four kings? December 12, 1930 Ogden High School Notes Ruth Greaves, Editor Ruth White and Lucille Spencer, Typists OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Hear ye! Hear ye! Only seven more days until the Holly Hop. Get that date! PLAY PRESENTED What a night! Few indeed are the nights during our high school careers into which has been cram¬med such fun, such laughter, such clean, wholesome entertainment, such hilarious romance and best of all, such professional-like acting as there was last night when the "Ar¬rival of Kitty" was presented. And how it was doubted if a satisfactory conclusion could ever come. How¬ever, the end finally came. It was a whirlwind finish that left the stu¬dents and parents gasping, weak with laughter while the actors un-tangled one mixup after another until everything ended quite hap¬pily for all but one. Well, Bennie, don't take it too hard, for Aunt Jane is "seldom around and helps pay the gas bills." Every member of the cast covered himself with glory. Ting, the instigator of George's right hand man, Sam, Jim Riley, doubled the audience with funny attempts to be of assistance. Dorothy Wintle as the eccentric and love-sick old maid and Roland Corry, Winkler, provided a conflict of opinions that led to most of the mixups. These two handled their difficult charac¬ter parts like veterans. John Ev¬ans, surprised the play fans by his splendid portrayal of both the fer¬vent lover and the mischievous Kitty. Guinevere Wooley, the prize at stake, and what a prize she was, did herself proud, while Dorothy Knowldon, the real Kitty (and my, what a lusty wallop you possess, Kit¬ty) handled her part to a T. Andy Brunetti so cleverly played Ben More that the audience audibly sympathized with him while he was so unmercifully thrown into this mixup of identities. Ruth Clark's demure little French accent won many a heart in the audience. Credit is due to the stage manag¬ers and assistants who so realisti¬cally transformed the difficult stage into the Halycon House. And don't forget the smiling little director, Miss Mary Wooley, who contributed much to the splendid production. Take a hint, folks, and if you haven't seen the school play, go to¬night and treat yourself to one of the best performances in a long time. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Is it too early to get your date for the Girls' Accolade? If it is, about how long should we wait?— Wondering Juniors. Dear Juniors: No, girls, it isn't too early to make the date yet, it's up to your own judgment. If the boy in mind is much in demand, I'd advise you to break the news right away. Remem¬ber, the early bird catches the worm. —Aunt Jane. ENGLISH NEWS The big contest is on. Mrs. Wade's fifth and sixth period English classes are having a scholarship contest. The classes will be judged according to class attitude, co-opera¬tion, preparation, attendance and punctuality. career I was a gum chewer. Of course I didn't chew gum during school hours, but I usually enjoyed my gum until the bell rang. Well, one noonday just as the bell rang I walked up to the open window of my classroom, hung my gum on a peg and threw my derby out the window." SPEAKING OF GUM Reminds us that this is a perennial subject. Sometimes it is con¬demned as a most ill-mannered sport. Sometimes it is condemned as a wasteful, extravagant habit. "Why, they say, do you know more money is spent for gum than for public schools. Anon, there arises one who advocates gum chewing as an aid to digestion. After all, it is but a foolish habit, and is scarce¬ly worthy of the attention it re¬ceives. The time spent in discus¬sion might be more profitably spent. Our only suggestion is when you get [tired of your gum, put it on a peg or throw it out the window. Do not spit it on the floor. A committee has been appointed in each class to prosecute any student disregarding the rules. The chairmen are: Delbert Hardman, fifth period, and Dave Robinson, sixth period. At the end of this semester, the a class that loses will sponsor a party : for the other class. May the best A class win! —Elma Skelton. CONGRESS The last in a series of excellent waiting-list debates was given Monday evening, and now Congress has before it the difficult task of select¬ing from about sixteen promising debaters the nine who are to be taken into the club. Four were voted in Monday (their names are as yet a secret) and the rest will probably be chosen next meeting. Then came a surprise. A loud knocking on the door was heard, and in walked Forum to challenge Congress to a second debate. The subject and the date have not been definitely decided upon, but we promise Forum some keen competition. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Mr. Kasius: Because it is so dark these mornings that he cannot tell the difference between black and brown. Because he blushes when the girls talk to him. (Especially about his unmated shoes. Right?) Virginia Hyde: Because brunettes don't believe all is fair in ove. Because she dreamed she was in heaven last night and the only reason she knew it was a dream was because she saw Lou Perry there. Fred Morris: Because he got a check for ten dollars the other day , and the only one who could identify him at the bank was a guy to whom he owed eight bucks. Because when he proposed to Annabelle for the sixth time, saying that he was really unworthy of her, she agreed with him. PHI LAMBDA TAU A dinner at Keeley's and dancing at the Berthana—could anything be sweeter? Phi Lambda Tau certainly does things up right. The party consisted of twenty-eight of the peppiest fellows and girls ever gathered together under one roof. Was Saturday night a big success? Ask any of the members. It was perfect from soup to nuts. Or should I say to "Good-night La¬dies?" We only hope our future undertakings will be half as successful and enjoyable as this one. —Mary Walker, Reporter. P. S.—The roses were delicious. CANTATA STUDENTS ; Mr. Hansen has requested every i music student to be at high school, Sunday, December 14, promptly at 1:30. He will only keep you an hour. Don't forget. —Elma Skelton. A NEW SUGGESTION Every day comes the cry for a new high school. The cry "new high school" undoubtedly was given birth due to the fact that our school lacks the facilities that are an in¬tegral part of every high school. Is it a wonder that the students look enviously at the neighboring schools to the north and south, Weber and Davis, and comment on their won¬derful auditoriums and gymnasiums when we, the high school students of the city of Ogden have none? In¬deed not. It is very human. If the citizens of our city profess their inability to erect a complete new school, can they justly profess an inability to erect a gymnasium and auditorium for our school that will be representative of such a progress¬ing community. The classrooms, though they lack many of the modern facilities that; enhance education, are still suitable places in which to conduct classes. Satisfaction can be tem¬porarily maintained if an auditorium and gymnasium are provided. Is it too much to ask of a city of 45,000 population? THE PROFESSOR CONFESSES StorieS about the absent minded professor are numberless. Some of them are doubtless true; others are manufactured. But here is an abso¬lutely true story. The professor tells it on himself. The professor, in this case is a principal in Ogden City schools. At a gathering the other day where the subject of gum-chew¬ing was under discussion, this prin¬cipal said: "In my early teaching
