Show Now the water-minded are turning their thoughts toward the swimming meet. Daily one can see the aspiring divers toughening all of the body as a means of preparedness in ease of a forced landing when a "sizzler" doesn't materialize. The speed artists are churning up the water in preparation for their excursions through the "aquam." The handball enthusiasts are also in strenuous training for their encounters. All in all, some spirited competition should be on hand when Coach Simkins starts things "going." A.B. SKI PARTY Girls--you haven't forgotten the ski party Saturday have you? Meet at high at 10 with skis in hand, ready for a sliding good time! AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Is it too late for an anxious junior to enter any club?

If you're in doubt about anything concerning this debate you'd better see Mr. Widdison, Willis Smith or Mrs. Chambers. They will be able to solve your difficulties. Everyone is eligible, don't forget. SNOOP. AND AGAIN As you see we've adopted Miss Evans' famous words as a title. Here's one time, girls, you can enjoy something the boys can't.

FIRST LEAGUE GAME A week from tonight we play Box Elder in our first league basketball game. This year our chances for going to the state tournament are as good as they can be. We have an abundance of material the quality of which has never been better. Now make it a point to go to that game. Get a ride by hook or crook, but go to that game. January 30, don't forget. AGNES McWISECRACK Dear Auntie Agnes: When you look at Rowland's face how do you know it's him? JOE Listen here, horseface, first you called me sister, and now it's auntie, is it? How do you know it's him? Ain't you got any sense for English. Him? Huh. AGNES Dear Agnes: If a girl took Bob to the Accolade should he take her to the cadet hop? DOYLE. Dear Doyle: The wretch, so that's his game, is it? Trying to give me the air? My mother always did say that he was a "four-flusher." Just let him try it. I feel so enraged I could crush a grape. AGNES R.O.T.C. First Lieutenant Jim Gibson was elected captain of the rifle team at a meeting Wednesday afternoon. Jim is one of the best shots on the team and has made consistently high marks in every match so far this year. interested in the study of some club such as I-Wannan-O, science; Beta Zeta Tau, art; or Gregg Artists, shorthand, I suggest that you make your desire known to the president of the club. For further Information see Mrs. Irwin. She can probably help. AUNT JANE. FORUM Debates, orations, extemporaneous speeches, what a dish to be handed to anyone, but we feel we are cap¬able of chewing and digesting it all. Every member will be trying out for one or more of these, branches. The coming months will bring out many things for the en¬ergetic person to strive after and do his best to get. What more can a person want than to get out be¬fore an audience and hold them spellbound by his words (I'm over-looking when Vern Tomlinson sinks a basket from the middle of the floor). Well, that's what we are try¬ing to do—enough of this—to get clown to brass tacks, our debate Monday was held by four juniors and it was surely a fine debate; too bad more of you couldn't hear it, but wait, one of these days you will have a chance, so just be patient and wait—Adios, then, 'till we meet a Rain. PRESTON MULCAHY January 23, 193 The Ninth corps area match b pins next week in which we fire against forty other schools. To stimulate shooting and to obtain the highest scores the cadets are capable of making, Captain Sparks has offered a prize of $1 for every 100x100 made in this match. The competition for the attend¬ance and uniform cup is growing rather hot. The standing after the first weeK is: Company A, 96.73 per cent; band, 96.25 per cent; company C, 95.83 per cent, and company B, with 95.40 per cent. An examination in the subject of first aid in military hygiene was held Thursday after two weeks of instruction by the cadet office assisted by boy scouts. Military courtesy and nomenclare of the rifle will be taken up the ming week. The platoon which will put on the hibition drill at the cadet hop, February 13, is coming along rather cely under the direction of Lieutenant Halloway. Next week the platoon and band will work together in order to perfect the movements.

Jack Harris: Yes—is this— Marian: Yes—Jack- Jack: Yes- Marian: Have you—are you—will you go to the Accolade with me? Jack: Gee, Marian. I'll say. Even our illustrious seniors hesitate. One of his harem—'Lo Vern. May I have a date for the Accolade? i Vern: Sure—(that's four). But this famous phrase is used most: "Which dance will you trade?" If you haven't a date, girls, give some boy friend a break, but hurrv They're going fast—dates and tickets. -Owl. ASSEMBLY REPORT Last Friday our assembly was filled with riotous laughter as the Forum club dramatized a caricature of a scene at the Pearly Gates. So intense was the enjoyment that many of the humorous exaggerations were not audible above the turmoil. School life was portrayed in the ex¬cellent impersonation of the school characters and their personal oddities. Each peculiar trait of a teach¬er or student was enlarged by bur¬lesquing to produce a humorous sit¬uation. The students and teachers enjoyed this annual gala affair of the Forum club. "Forum, however, must now return to its serious obligation, that of cul¬tivating debating in the high school. Each year the club deviates from its ordinary business of training debat¬ers to present its assembly and then it continues studying conscientiously. This affair marks the only semi-so¬cial indulgence of the club, and the rest of the school vear is spent in. hard work and serious effort to achieve a constant aim.—Frisby. BETA ZETA TAU Have you heard about our keen New Year's eve party yet? No doubt you have, because it was really one to be remembered. Everyone surely had an enjoy¬able time, even Nora could tell you that, because she did herself. The waffles were delicious, thanks to Mrs. Hawkins, and it was one of the most successful parties we have ever had and ever hope to have—a good way to start the New Year. Miss Schofield was the life of the party and she still has "Dancing Feet." Some of us, of course, didn't have any too much sleep—after all, what does one night matter when we have 364 more? —Dorothy Moore, Reporter. CHATTER AND CHAFF The two Foley girls are in charge of the Accolade, so you know "Fo¬ley" well that it's going to be un-usually good. Russel Farr's mother's favorite song is "Oh, Baby, Be Careful With That Cup." Vern Tomlinson's "harem" is growing bigger each day. Those wishing to become a member must obtain an application blank from Clyde Hunter, Vern's right-hand man. "Tough" Wheelwright's favorite sport is sleeping. Elaine Revell once thought that a "coquette" was a small Coca Cola. "Music by Handel," said Mildred Stromberg as she wound up the Victrola. I-WANNAN-O No, our meetings are not secret, but many's the "secret" that has] been divulged and discussed! Spirit? We have it! Every man present first meeting after the holidays and what a meeting! And say, noti that we have no talent, for in our ranks is one prize-winner of a gigantic loving cup given in 1916 for —guess what!—best baby in Ogden between the ages of one and two! The lucky, boy? Russell Farr, Esq. And furthermore—Oyez! Oyez! De club of I-Wannan-O challenges de aggregation of de We 13ers to a rous¬ing series of basketball. Girls—support your men and see the flashy hoopsters in action!—Bob Kimball. Ogden High School Notes January 26, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor. "The man with a perpetual grouch is a bore, but the fellow who walks about with an eternal smile on his face may be either a rogue or an imbecile. ASSEMBLY REPORT Our dramatic art instructor de¬lighted the students last Friday with an excellent delivery of the reading, "How the LaRue Stakes Were Lost." The assembly so thoroughly enjoyed Miss Woolley's reading that they en¬thusiastically applauded for an en¬core. We were lucky in having on the assembly program three students from Weber College, who entertained screen in some of the films, must be stopped," the letter stated. "I am not a prude nor a puritan, yet the indecencies portrayed and the filthy remarks made in some of the talkies are an affront to any kind of standards of American families." us with music. The Hawaiian trio, Jimmy Ing, Harry Buckalder, John Peterson, sang and played "Song of the Island" and "If I Can't Have You." In addition to all this, we were Measurably surprised by several ex¬cellent harmonica selections played by Leland Mortensen. We must now deserve a new high school, as our snappy yelling raised the roof, causing considerable dam¬age to the old structure. IMPROVEMENT The first of the year Mr. Kasius gave all of his students an English test on Minimum Essentials of Eng¬lish based upon—(1) Grammatical correctness, (2) Vocabulary, (3) Punctuation, (4) Sentence Structure, , (5) Sentence Sense, (6) Inflection and Accent, and (7) Spelling, The average median of five classes for September 16 was 43, for December 16, 57. The median is not based upon percentage. —Owl. O. H. S. NOTES BOX Students, the note box has been slighted for quite some time. Re¬member—this column is yours! If you have anything of interest, let it be known. Are there just a certain few club reporters who keep their reports up to the minute? Come on —show us what you're doing, clubs! Give us a little inside dope. SUGGESTION We are thinking of two classes. They are interesting, amusing (sometimes), and beneficial. In the spring they are going to present the school with something big. One class is a group of boys, one a group of girls. Each member attempts to make the day brighter by song. Can you guess? We are thinking of the boys' glee club and the girls' glee club. If you need another class next semester and music appeals to you— try one of these classes. Girls are prohibited in the boys' ' class and vice versa. —A. N. Owl. EULOGY There she stands, forlornly remin¬iscent of better days, valiantly has she stood there, cheerfully giving to the utmost. Sadly does she remem¬ber that once, once in the far dis¬tant—far, far, distant—past she was everything that a creature like her was supposed to be—she made them sizzle in her day. But, alas, she is but eking out a wretched ex¬istence now, living in the present with no hope for the future, only with a fading memory of a glower¬ing past. No longer is she the sub¬ject of admiration. Instead, she is regarded as having seen better days Everyone pities her — sniff, sniff, bear with me whilst I deposit' an¬other tear in my already dripping kerchief; sniff, sniff. Oh, 'twas ever thus! Oh, cruel fates, now she exists subject to the scorn and harsh words that are uttered only too loud¬ly within her shrinking hearing. Oh, humiliation and scorn, how could it was, how could it was? Oh, for a new environment in which to pursue our mental schooling as well as our physical activity. How long must we wait for a new high school? —Brunt Topics. CHATTER AND CHAFF When Cupid hits the mark, he generally Mrs. it. Hazel: "What are you doing, shining your shoes?" Jack: "No, I'm manicuring my toe nails and I'm too lazy to take my shoes off." Miss Wall called meeting to order and we went through the usual or¬der of the day. A discussion of our previous , meet¬ing followed. Mr. Cole, from Cen¬tral Junior High school, came and talked to us on the French Ideals and Modes of Living. This was extremely interesting, and we greatly appreciated it. AN ARE "I'd rather be a "could be" if I couldn't be an "are." For a "could be" is a "maybe" with a chance of reaching "par." I'd rather be a "has been" than a "might have been" by far For a "might have been" has never "been" and a "has been" was an "are." GREGG ARTISTS The Gregg Artists held a regular meeting Monday, January 19. Meet¬ing was called to order by President Florence Gay. Roll was called and minutes read by Secretary Ruth White, and old and new business was settled. Dictation was given by dif¬ferent members to the club for fif¬teen minutes. Meeting was adjourned FAMOUS LAST WORDS Beth Carr—"Don't lean over so! far, Preston!" Lost—Practice note book, History, and Century Hand Book. These ap¬parently taken by mistake from Miss Carlson's room. Please return to of¬fice. SUCCESSFUL CONCERT A large audience at the Orpheum theatre enjoyed the delightful con¬cert presented by the O. H. S. band and the Girls' and Boys' Glee clubs last Friday night. This program was under the supervision of Mark Robinson and under the direction of Glenn L.
