Show praise. We feel that our concert was a success and we wish to thank the public for their support and also the management of the Orpheum theatre for their co-operation. We appreciate this opportunity of put¬ting our band before the public. CONTEST The staff of the Notes, in an at¬tempt to start things moving toward the erection of.a new high school, announces an essay contest on "A New High School." The subject may be treated either seriously or hu¬morously, and one may write on any phase, telling why we need a new school, how to obtain one, or any¬thing that directly concerns "New High School." Suitable prizes will be awarded to the winners of each division: serious or humorous. The themes must not exceed two hun¬dred woras ana tftey must be com¬pleted by the 27th of February, not later than five o'clock. All right, all you wizards! Show us what you can do. Drop your themes in the Note box. Thank you! Ogden High School Notes January 27, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor. "Life is not so short," said Emer¬son, "but there is always time enough for courtesy." AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Could you please give us some pointers on the Cadet Hop? When, where, price of tickets, etc.?—D. P. Dear D. P.: The Cadet Hop will take place on the evening of February 13, in the Berthana ballroom. The price is $1 a couple. Anything else? —Aunt Jane. RECOVERING Lowell Rowse, a student of Og¬den High school, who has been ill for some time is recovering rapidly. We hope to see you back to school soon, Lowell, as we have missed you very much. HOOP SKIRTS This is station OHS. The girls' basketball tournament has been postponed until this Wednesday. The teams are all in good condition and promise close competition. —Owl. STELLAE Stellae, as a club always backing school functions, turned out en masse for the program put on last Friday at the Orpheum theatre by the music department of the high school. Depend upon the "Stars" for support. You'll get it. After the program, all members, to stress the social side, went to the Twelfth ward and enjoyed some dancing—especially Mr. Perry's ec¬centric steps and Mr. Mair's "Kiss Waltz." No, these gentlemen don't belong to Stellae, only "Stars" ad¬mitted, but, nevertheless, they have the wondrous faculty of turning up wherever there is a good time or was, until they arrived. Reluctantly leaving the dance, the club gathered at the home of Miss Wilcox for refreshments where Mr. Judd and Mr. Edwards playing "bear" with matches "fleeced" the "lambs," Miss Wilcox and Miss Pierce, and took the bulls, Mr. Peter¬son and Miss Knowlden, for a ride. It is rumored Mr. Peterson walked home. Draw your own conclusions. All in all, it was an evening to be remembered. —Duane G. Darling, Reporter. SLIDE, GIRLS, SLIDE And we certainly did slide down! We are talking about the skiing party the Girls' association sponsor¬ed last Saturday. We went up on Twenty-eighth street, but due to a south snow and unwaxed skis the snow stuck to our skis and down we'd go. After a good many spills and a good few slides we had a snow ball fight, a huge snow man rolled and after a few more balls—we adjourned. (Adjourned is from force of habit.) —Owl. CHATTER AND CHAFF Bee Allen: My grandfather ex¬pired last week. Betty Goddard: Why don't you have him renewed? Max Mair's theme song: "A Pal That I Loved, Stole a Gal That I Loved." Bob Kimball says that the nearest h's ever come to osculating was kissing a grapefruit. John Purdy is one of the few members left at high school to up¬hold the high standards of the "So-phisticated Order of Twelfth Street." "Income tax " grumbled the car¬pet, as dad got busy with his ham¬mer. CONTEST Get working on the "New High School" contest, students. You may win that prize! HUNGRY Maybe you mistook its cry for a bell but it cried. Every day some¬one sits in our halls, hungry—striv¬ing and we all pass by. Every day it opens its mouth, but no one drops anything in. It is dying by inches. Help! Help the Note box back to health! A note from the wise is sufficient. —Owl. Mail Pilot Smashes Plane OnMountain? PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 27.—(AP) —Searchers undertook today to in¬vestigate the possibility Walter E. Case, missing air mail pilot, had smashed his plane into grim Look¬out mountain, southwest of the Dalles, Ore. Seth Davison and E. C. Shields, two of the pilots who have sought Case since he disappeared in the fog between Portland and Spokane last Thursday morning, expected to make a thorough search of Look-out mountain and the immediate vicinity. The belief that the wreckage of Case's plane might be found there was expressed yesterday by Edgar Smith, a rancher in an isolated dis¬trict 18 miles southwest of The Dalles. Smith told the aviators that last Thursday morning he and his son had heard an airplane pass over them in a dense fog. Fonseca May Play First Base Again CLEVELAND, Jan. 27—(AP)—Lew Fonseca, leading hitter of the Am¬erican league in 1929, may get back his regular job as first baseman for the Cleveland Indians this season if Eddie Morgan makes good his threat to forsake the national pastime for' a business career. Fonseca was classed as trading material for an experienced third baseman until Morgan checked out. A collision with another player early last season took Fonseca out of the regular lineup and Morgan, re-placing him did so well he became a permanent fixture and tanged out 26 home runs. A LAUGH ON THEM WOODBURY, Pa.—The thirteen members of the local police force are in for a lot of joshing. The reason is that Mayor Ernest Rigg presented them with an alarm clock apiece. Now it is remarked that the clocks are to be used to see that each recipient reports for duty on time. Ogden High School Notes January 28, 1931 RUTH GREAVES EDITOR The bass drum isn't a solo instrument, but it's all right when it beats in rhythmic unison with the other pieces in the band. There can be no harmony without co-or¬dination and co-operation. ARE YOU GOING? Friday night our team is pitted against its first and probably its strongest opponent, Box Elder. This is our first league game and our team has been working every night in an effort to be ready for the Bees. The sages who saw the team Monday night in action say that the old pepper was there 100 per cent. We say we are! Atta old fight! Those of you who are bent on going to the game and lack means of transportation notify Rowland, and if enough signify their desire to go via bus, a bus will be chartered. Don't forget Friday!—Snoopy. H. C. CLUB Hello! Are you there? Oh yes; well here we are again, none other than the H. C. club. Meeting was called to order by President Reeves and a splendid program was carried out. We have sent in our orders for our pins and are waiting eagerly for their ar-rival. Note the proud and pleased expressions on our faces when we get our pins (especially Gordon Lund and Geraldine Fitzgerald). See you all again.—Kate Heiner, report¬er. CHATTER AND CHAFF We know a secret. Paul Edson trips 'em—that's why they fall. If talking would solve the unem¬ployment situation, Florence Cave! and Ellis Stoker need a medal. They've done their bit. Florence Gay is now a Rose Gay. Vego: "Do you believe in clubs for women?" Arthur: "Yes, if kindness fails." BETA ZETA TAU We are here once more to give you an account of the successful party we had during the month of January. It was a bridge party held last Saturday night at Miss Florence Steckel's. Prizes were won by our lucky president, Miss Varinee Felt, Miss Schofield and Miss June Leavitt. The orange and brown color scheme was carried out in both decorations and refreshments. Delicious refreshments were served at a late hour and I know each member, that was present at this party, will agree with me that a wonderful time was enjoyed by all. Miss Madge McAllister was the assisting hostess.—Dorothy Moore, Reporter. FORUM A snappy debate on the state question was held Monday night. Some good points were brought out by both sides. This debate gave us an other warning that there will be some keen competition when it comes to choosing the school team! Our semiannual election of officers took place; our new officers being! Preston Mulcahy, Ellis Cragun and Andrew Brunetti. The retiring officers are John Cawley and Doyle Jenson. We welcome to our club two net junior members, William Alsup and Dell Towers; these two, we think! have proved their worth, and we txpect big things from both. CONTEST Have you started your essay on a "New High School"? Come on-get going. The early bird" catches th worm, you know! A NEW VENTURE The speech department begins a new venture next Monday, the be¬ginning of the second semester. Miss Woolley, the instructor, will give some helpful work to pupils handicapped by speech imediraems Any students interested in this work would do well to consult the In¬structor at once. CONTESTS COMING Students are advised that any number of speaking contests a.t . scheduled for next semester, mom them being the S. A. R. and the D. A. R. early in March. The national contest on the constitution, and the J. S. Lewis contests later, and after these the contests sponsored by the University of Utah. Better speak to your English teacher, students, and then get in touch with the coach, Mrs. Blanche McKey. Ogden High School Notes January 29, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor The good will built up bit by bit for ten years can be shattered in ten seconds. Think of this when you feel like getting mad—and don't. CADET HOP By all indications, the cadet hop plans are well under way. What more could we expect, however, with such capable committee members as these: General committee—Jack Hilton, chairman; Fred Morris. Program—Hazel Schenck, chairman; Lorna Malan, Oertel Aadneson, Helen Simpson, Arleen Hamp¬ton, Yvonne Peirce. Refreshments—Oertel Aadneson, chairman. Decoration — Rowland Corry, chairman; Jim Riley, Robert Simp¬son, James Gibbson, Walter Weaver. Roy Thomas, Gilbert Tolhurst. All that's left for the rest of you now is to get your dates. Remem¬ber, Friday, February 13, at the Ber-thana ballroom. ARE YOU GOING? Students, have you secured trans¬portation to the game Friday? Strangely enough this first game is a crucial game, for Box Elder seems to be the team that's going to be hard to beat. If we can dust them off, and it'll take a mighty lusty arm to dust them off lightly, then Ve'll be sitting on top of the division, with a rosy outlook for the rest of the season. Don't fail to show up, students. There'll be a grand time in that old gym that night. SNOOPY. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Is it too late to order a class pin? Do you have to pay for it when your, order is sent in? A SENIOR. Dear Senior: You may order class pins or rings at any time. When you put in your order you must make a de¬posit; for rings, $5.45; a deposit of $4; pin and guard, $3.50; deposit $3; and pin, $2.25; deposit $2. I suggest, senior, that you put in your order immediately. Call again. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF Dee Shepherd (in restaurant): Do you serve shrimps? Waiter: Yes, sit right down. Pedestrian: "Confound you, why don't you blow your horn?" O. B.: "Who do you think I am, Little Boy Blue?" Most wars have resulted from one of two causes; stupidity or cupidity. Lorainne McEntee thinks that an air-line should be run between heft and Logan for her special benefit. WHO WILL IT BE? This week the captain of the the basketball team will be chosen, Whowffll it be? This honor is open to anyone on the first team. Aall when we say honor we mean jut! what we say, for we certainly hive a wonderful team, a team that's going to be right in the thick of theB race all of the time. Who do you think it will be? Your guess is just as good as ours. Only time will tell. THE SNOOP. NEW CLUB Look out for the boy's S. O. S. club, because they're already hot on their way to the top. With Mr. Oberhansley as our advisor, we are sure to make fast progress in our field of study, since hel is thoroughly acquainted with the! 'subject. The membership is restricted to 12, and six are yet to ocl voted upon; maybe you'll be the lucky boy. You'll hear from us later, because we are going to afford keen competition. HOUTZ GREEN.
