Show Tuesday night we annexed one more scalp when our Streaks trimmed the Orpheum five 51 to 19. The team functioned smoothly and gave the basket a good peppering. A de¬cided improvement our passing was in evidence and it Just goes to show that the team Is gradually minding Into fine shape. Next Friday at Weber county high our Tigers tangle with West in another practice game. On the same night Weber plays North Ogden. West high is going great and is expected to give our Tigers all they can handle. All indications point to a fast game, and if you're not too busy getting that illusive lock of hair under control or administering to the skin one loves to touch (all for the Accolade, of course) go out to the game. We play at 7 o'clock. Student card and quarter for admission. SNOOPY GYM TOURNEY PROGRESS The boys' gym basketball tournament is in the last stage of the first round. Eight teams are entered, the system being to have four rounds with the winners of each round meeting for the final championship. As matters now stand, the Olsonites tangle with the De Hart aggregation for the first round championship, while the Foley five mixes with the Zanpedri team for consolidation honors. Competition is close and no team at this time seems to hold a decided edge. Upsets in the next round are expected to be frequent and it will take a good team to repeat victories. THE SNOOP ANOTHER COURSE Mr. Oberhansley offers as another course, physiology, periods second, sixth and seventh. The chief object of physiology is to teach us to keep our bodies in healthy condition. Enough structure and anatomy work will be given to make plain the great laws according to which the body lives and a full discussion of how a violation of these laws may be avoided. Laboratory demonstrations will be given each Friday when the need arises. ACCOLADE Boys, you've been letting the girls get away with something. They've put a big word, "Assolade," up before you, and we venture to say that the majority of you don't even know what it means. Take a peek at Webster's definition of it; it's really worth while. Girls, have you purchased your tickets? Remember, no tickets at the door. Don't forget your money in the morning and buy a ticket from any of the following girls: Julia Cain, Yvonne Peirce, Ruth Greaves, Eloise Brewer, Gertrude Wadley, Guinevere Woolley, Ruth Hawkins, and Quinevere Hess, Marian Stewart and Dorothy Broome. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Are the girls supposed to take thier partners to eat after the dance? I would like to take mine but I don't think I will have enough money for a big feed. So what should I do? ANXIOUS Dear Anxious: It is customary to "treat" the boy friend after the dance but a big feeding is not proper. Why not plan something at home? If you are going with some other couple it would be very nice if after you could go to someone's home and have a light lunch. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF Some folks don't mind their business. The reason is, you'll find, They either have no business Or else they have no mind. Ed Smith: What's the formula for water? John Cawley: H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O. E.S. Where in the name of thunder did you get that? John: Why the boy says H2O. Virigina Hyde has been singing "My Ideal" so much lately that we are beginning to wonder what her ideal looks like. STUDY OF HOME PRODUCTS The high school has begun a study of Ogden's industries and her products. This study was introduced by the retail merchants' division of the chamber of commerce and has for its object the mkaing of Ogden people familiar with her industries, and secondly encouraging consumption of home products. There is a good slogan which says, "What Utah makes, makes Utah." We may well insert the word "Ogden" for "Utah" in this slogan and the slogan would still be true. We believe the students and Ogden people generally will be helped by this study. COURAGE TAUGHT A circular from the Oakland, California, schools to parents con¬tains among other things this in¬teresting item: "Self-confidence and courage as well as ability to work happily with other people are important to the growing boy and girl. We there¬fore try to develop each child s be¬lief in himself and in his ability to solve his own problems. Every effort is made to make the school life of each child vital." Mrs. Celena Beaulieu Anderson, formerly a teacher of Ogden high, is teaching in the Oakland schools and occasionally sends us interestng items about the Oakland schools. EXPECTS A TRANFER Colonel C. G. Laurence, commandant at Ogden high school in 1922, and since that time, head officer in the R. O. T. C. organizations of Oakland schools, will probably leave Oakland this year and return to Cheyenne, Wyo. Cheyenne is the former home of Mrs. Laurence, whose health has been none too good , on the coast and who feels that her health will be improved by the higher altitude. Ogden High School Notes January 16, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor Your brains were put on the top of your anatomy; see that they get top consideration. BAND CONCERT The R. O. T. C. band concert will not be presented at the high school on January 28, as the Orpheum theatre management has afforded us the privilege of presenting the concert at that theatre Friday, January 23. Accompanying the concert will be a regular motion picture pro¬duction, "Under Suspicion." The band has made remarkable strides in producing an exceptional musical unit, and we want everyone to attend this concert. Remem¬ber that the program will be given not at the high school, but at the Orpheum theatre January 23, be¬tween 8 and 9 o'clock. A PERFECT ACCOLADE Tell me, what good are boys " without a girl tonight? For all plans are made for a per¬fect Accolade. There's a big thrill in store, and t you will not be blue, If you join us there in this great affair for you. "King Winter" will reign su¬preme, In a land of ice and snow; And you will be in a dream If you take a boy and go. Show the boys that we know just how to treat them right. And we'll see you all at the Ac¬colade tonight. "PERSISTENCE" Nothing in the world can take the lace of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more bmmon than unsuccessful men with alent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will riot. The world is full of educational derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "Press on," has solv¬ed and always will solve the prob¬lems of the human race. CHATTER AND CHAFF Carpe Diem decided to take the meat out of the treasury for their ski party Saturday. Did you knov they kept meat in their treasury? Since Floyd Pell was made chair man of the committee on home improvement, he has no time to do housework so he had to employ servant. Yvonne Peirce can't seem to mak up her mind between two thingq! Any suggestions? Mr. Abplanalp: Are you teaching this class or am I? Walter Hansink: Not me. Mr. A.: Well, then don't talk like an idiot. TAU ETA NU After meeting was called to ordei by President Reardon, reports wer given on drama by Betty William and Jane Kellogg. These were ver: interesting and helped us to requiri more knowledge on drama in it earlier stages. It was then decided that for eacl meeting, one of the members woulj read a short play. In this way w will be able to study and probe deep erintodrama and its meaning to aay. we ail Know tnat arn one of the leading arts, and a thing that the whole world is interested in, therefore we hope to be able, by tne end of the year ,to discuss drama intelligently ',yiUi anyone. By thev way progress is going on in Tau fcta Nu, I think we will soon realize our desire. GIRLS!! Girls, don't forget the skiing party Saturday, January 24. Meet at the high school at 10 o'clock and plan to have one good time. OWL. AGAIN Next semester third period Mr. Oberhansley is beginning a class or geology. It is a study of the forces at work on this earth which are constantly causing physical changes. These are agents of erosion. His-tory of the earth and the develop¬ment of plants and animals as shown by fossil remains will also be studied. Field trips will be taken when the weather permits. OWL AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Why is it that we can never have the radio on during the study halls? We have a beautiful radio with a speaker in every room, but we can never have it on, especially in Mrs. Wade's third period study hall and Miss Mealiff's seventh period study hall. Please tell us why we cannot enjoy it. GINGER. Dear Ginger: Various reasons, Ginger. One rea son is this: We seldom get got* programs during school hours, W aim to catch all of the good pro grams. Secondly, some students ge so fed up on radio at home that the can hardly stand it at school, an strenuously object to having stud period disturbed by music. Remember, Ginger, you are but one out of many. If the teache and the entire class want the radi at any time, all they need to do i to send word to the office. AUNT JANE. STAR ATTRACTIONS Tonight Ogden plays West higl at the Weber county high gymna sium at 7 o'clock. At 9 o'clock the high school girl: are offering their great annua dance, the Accolade, in the Berthana hall. It seems too bad thai two such attractions should be scheduled on the same night as many students wish to attend both and that would be violating health laws. We hope our program mak¬ers will be more careful in the fu¬ture. COUNCIL MEETING Regular Council meeting was called to order by President Corry. The minutes were read and approved Miss Ensign apologized to Beta Zete Tau for overlooking the fact thai they had handed in their completi constitution. Mr. Raty reported oi the school play. This report wa tabled until a royalty bill is paid Mr. Brunetti reporting for the pom pom committee stated that he hac ordered a catalog for references. Mr Jensen called for the acceptance o the proxies. Due to the fact tha Miss Greaves' proxy was not a member of the club she was representing she was rejected. The old busi¬ness of the dramatic art club wa; ; taken from the table, and it wa: moved and seconded that their re- i vised constitution be accepted. The motion was passed. Mr. Brunett. -asked why the school would no participate in the state debate. It was moved and seconded that a committee of three be appointed to look intnjhis matter. It was moved and seconded that we amend this motion to read the president of the student body be chairman of this committee. The amendment was passed, and the original motion was voted on and passed. Messrs. Caw¬ley and Jensen were appointed on the committee. Mr. Cragun called for discussion on the objection the school entering any of the contests at the University of Utah in the spring. It was moved and seconded that the chair appoint a commit¬tee of three for this business. The motion was amended to read that the committee appointed on the de¬bating question act as this committee. It was moved and seconded the committee go in and interview Mr. Merrill immediately. The motion was passed. During Mr. Corry's ab¬sence Miss Ensign took charge of the (meeting, and the fourth article of the constitution was read. It was moved and seconded another article be read. The motion was passed. Mr. Corry reported for the commit¬tee and advised council to enter a complaint along with Weber county high against the entrance fees charged this year for the contests. This report was accepted. Council then adjourned. RAYMOND RATY, Secretary. Ogden High School Notes January 19, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor. Next Friday night will be one of the biggest nights in the history of Ogden High. Why? Just watch this space for further announce¬ments! ASSEMBLY REPORT In our last assembly the Rev. John E. Carver held the undivided atten¬tion of everyone in the audience. His speech on exactness and preci¬sion instilled into the students a feeling of their coming responsibili-ties. He clearly explained that the period of "just about right" had waned, and that today was a world of preparation to the point and to accurate objectives. Rev. Carver's message was absorbed with utmost interest by everyone and we assure him that we appreciate his most enlightening address. Accompanying Mr, Carver's ad¬dress were a trombone solo and singing, with an unique skit pre¬sented by several girls to advertise the Accolade. —Frisby. DON'T QUIT When things go wro as they sometimes will, When the road trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have a sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest, if you must—but don't quit. —Anon. LAW Commercial law has to do with the application of law to reneral business situations. Long ago it was recognized that an "ounce of pre¬vention is worth more than a pound of cure," and so a course was be-gun in our school. If any one wishes to take this subject, see Mr. Peterson or Mr. Widdison. Mr. Pe-terson will teach it sixth period, Mr. Widdison, fifth and seventh. Commercial law alms to acquaint the students with the problems per¬taining to contracts, negotiable in¬struments, sales of personal and real property, agency, partnership, corporations, insurance and boilments. —Owl. FORUM Now Forum members know how Sir Thomas Lipton felt when he was donated the good will trophy by some kind-hearted, sympathizing New Yorkers. He has been defeated so often that this good will trophy, we imagine, is an immense consola¬tion to him. Such being the case, the Forum would very much appre¬ciate some sort of a trophy from its ardent sympathizers. We look for¬ward to the action to in some wise console us for our persistent losses to Congress. But just like Lipton we're going to try again. Our de¬bate for tonight is between the wait¬ing list members and will be on a state question. —Preston Mulchay. LOST Lost! A pink Swan eversharp pencil. Valuable to owner. Please return to office. ACCOLADE A SUCCESS Well, the Accolade's over, but the memory lingers on. The memory of the brilliant decorations, of the Grand Mar6h, and of the sterling strains of music. Here's to you. girls! You certainly know how to do things in a big way. A "Winter Sports" idea was car¬ried out in the decorations of skis, snow shoes, ski poles, snowballs and silhouette ski riders. Above the large open doors at the north side of the ballroom posed a mammoth black and white sketch of a ski girl in action. The orchestra, although wearing Eskimo ski caps, released melodies anything but cold. The punch-booth represented a North¬land Igloo, from which flowed re¬freshing cups of icy mint drops. GREGG ARTISTS It has been some time since the students of O. H. S. have heard from the Gregg Artists, but we thought we rght ease your sus¬pense and give you a bit of good news. I suppose there is really no need to announce the names of our three new members, but just for the sake of some who haven't heard, we will. The three senior girls who were nominated into our club are: Nor¬ma Dana, Lucille Spencer and Em¬ma Newey. A splendid party was given our new members, a few days after Christmas, and we all enjoyed a grand time. Some of the new members demonstrated that thev |
