PLANET FADING NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—(AP)— Last chance tonight until 1975 to get a good look at a tiny planet. Eros will be only 16,000,000 miles away, closer than at any time since its discovery in 1898. It will be vis¬ible about 11 p. m. (E. S. T.) near Leo and the constellation Sextann. Eros is a little fellow but will come so close he will shine like the giant planet Neptune. Astronomers will measure how much the earth pulls him out of his course and thereby deduce the weight of the earth and other things. Ogden High School Notes January 30, 1931 Ruth Greaves; Editor, The teaching and training of students for scientific professions and tor sclcntlfic investigation is as viul and important to the welfare of luntry as the making of sci cmiftc discoveries. —Frederick Soddy. CONGRATULATIONS Clyde Hunter, alias "Hunter" to his many friends, has reason to be vesrtnK a broad smile. He has just tan selected captain of the basketball team. Hunter is a clever for Inrri fast and though small is a regular demon for ball rustling. He Its sure to make a capable leader for Ijfe mates. The students join in offsrlng congratulations. CONTEST STARTS There's a nice prize waiting for the student who can write the best essay, humorous or serious, on "A New High School." There has been lao much talk around that surely m will be able to give vent to your Ifiritn with the assistance of plentj of material. Take a chance! It's free.

"We 13's air squadron seems to have failed to notice the beacon fiht of the O. H. S. Note box. We're not giving you the "ah" (you have plenty we know) but we would like you to get a note through, in spite of the fog. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Why "isn't there a "pep" club organized to promote school spirit in Ogden High? --D.C. The objection to a "pep" club with limited number of members is the fact that school pep and school St should be a part of the entire Stent body It is true that we have been lacking in that vital something that keeps the school up ad going but now that our basketball season Is commencing we hope brtng back our enthusiasm. —Aunt Jane. KLO Wednesday night at nine o'clock a one-act play, "Moonshine," written by Arthur Hopkins, was read over KLO by two former high school students, Kieth Wilson and Richard McKey.

We're happy to welcome them into our student body and hope they enjoy the year. These two girls are sisters, Ruth Maurer, junior, arid Gertrude Maurer, senior. TAU ETA NU After meeting had been called to order and the order of the day had been carried on, Oertel Aadneson gave to the club a pantomime called "The Mellerdrama." This was very amusing. Next a speech by Discount Stand¬ard McWebster was read and en¬joyed to the fullest extent. Plans for the January party were discussed. It was decided that the party would be held on January 30 at Ruth Clark's home. Everyone was told to be there or else .And with this warning ringing in every girl's ear meeting was adjourned. PHI LAMBDA TAU Hello, everybody! Here we are again—oh, don't worry, you can't lose us—ready to start the second semester with renewed energy, zest and spirit. Maybe you think we haven't done anything in the line of sports so far, but we've all suf¬fered black and blue marks from falling on the cruel, tricky snow- feet in the air and huge, funny boards, commonly called skis, stuck on the end of them. But spring and summer sports are our great¬est weaknesses. Just imagine long hikes with roasted weiners and buns, swimming in cool, clear, sparkling water, lying among whispering trees and gazing dreamily at masses of billowy clouds, and, oh well, we'll tell you the rest next time. See you again! —Virginia James, Reporter. A NEW DISCOVERY We discovered on Wednesday that the hallways of Ogden High have, underneath the dirt and grime of centuries, a very beautiful maple floor. This was revealed to us by one Mr. Jones of Salt Lake, who demonstrated an electric scrubbing and polishing machine to us by cleaning a bit of hallway space. We are certainly glad that we have made this discovery and we sin¬cerely hope the board of education will secure one of these new ma¬chines for us. We need it badly, and as we have said before (if we remember correctly), our building isn't any too attractive at best, so let us make it as clean and invit¬ing as is possible. Our janitors are quite enthused with the idea of a real clean-up campaign. As stu¬dents, too, we must do our part and make every effort to get and keep our building in good condition. WELCOME, FEBRUARY This is the last day of the pres¬ent semester. When we begin our next semester's work it will be February—Welcome, February. November, December, January have been cold, dreary months—and we're all glad they are over. We think we shall be able to stand a lot of "spring" and "summer" without complaining. SCHOOL OPERA This is red hot news—just on the press for the first time. It was decided late Thursday afternoon thats the music department decided thatc the opera for the year will be that delightful well-known opera, "The Chimes of Normandy." This is one of those rare musical compositions of which we never tire. We are very sure the students will enjoy rehearsing thig famous masterpiece, and we shall all enjoy r hearing it entire, again. School Chooses Debaters. OGDEN, Feb. 24.—Preliminary a tryouts for the debating team was held Thursday. The following students were selected: Earl Reeve, Helen McKay, William Alsup, John Cawley, Doyle Jensen, Preston Mulcahy, Dorothy Nelson and Del Towers. Ogden High School Notes February 2, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, EDITOR When dad is constantly shocked by the behavior of the modern youth he may be merely suffering from loss of memory. ASSEMBLY REPORT At our last assembly, after the humorous attempt of Errol Patrick to play a violin solo, Max Penton entertainingly advertised the school orchestra with an excellent violin selection. The students again greeted Leon Cole with enthusiastic applause. After having played three accordion numbers, Mr. Cole left the assembly, much to the regret of many per¬sons. We were delighted with the school orchestra's presentation of "The Fu¬neral March of the Marionette." Roy Critchlow and his sister, Blanche, offered several attractive musical selections among which were "Dream Mother," "Why Did I Get Married?" and "Wouldn't It Be Wonderful." After our basketball captain, Clyde Hunter, was introduced, a rioting yell practice took place.— Frisby. CARPE DIEM With winter here and plenty of snow, skis, and ice skates, Carpe Diem is in her most ambitious mood, but even we must rest, once in a while, and obtain nourishment. The solution, a "shindig" at Doro¬thea Healey's home. No, it is not a game in which we tear each other apart, but a meeting at which we eat anything and everything that seems to be food. Yes, we ate, but I cannot say that it was a per¬fectly balanced meal. Doughnuts, olives, and peanuts; peanuts, olives and doughnuts—well, this might go on forever. For a while we feared it would, but just at the right mo¬ment, in came Ruth wtih a tray of white, beautiful white, sugared balls. What could they be? Open one! No, it wouldn't be. Yes, another kind of doughnut! I wonder if a "shindig" inspired the man who wrote, "Eat and be merry for tomorrow we die."—Lorna Malan. MESSAGE OF THE RIVER What is the river saying? What message does it tell, Aa onward it is flowing, through gorges and through dell, As it rushes down the mountain side to valleys where roses bloom, Oh, pray what is its story as it passes night and noon? Does it say go forward ever till at last you reach your goal? To earn the fame you long for and to satisfy your soul? Does it tell you to scorn all ob¬stacles in your way: To keep your courage and be happy all the live long day? Does it seem to say these few words, as it wends its endless trail: a "Oh! Go forward like the river , through each sunless day and bright Till you reach the land of fadeless day .where no more we'll see the night?" —Garnet Bradshaw. CONTEST BEGINS Come on, students! Get your brains to work on thoughts of a new high school. Several essays have already been submitted and we shall print one each night. Remember, either a humorous or seriour essay, just so it pertains to a new high school. A NEW HIGH SCHOOL Our school's greatest need is no longer a need; it is a theme song. It will probably go down in history with other vainly tried for improvements such as the modification of the eighteenth amendment to include light wines and beers. Our school notes, Classicum, and probably the Yearbook have each tried their best without result. If it ever were granted it would, in a way, be rather a tragedy as most of our student literary talent is di- rected upon this subject, and it would be a shame to deprive them of it.—Charles Wood. A WISH Had I the power to carve or print The future for Ogden High, It would be blessed with a new high school; And success ever reaching to the sky. —Anon. FRIDAY The cadets are an optimistic bunch, it seems. We are going to be, too. Let's help the cadets break the unlufcky charm of Friday 13 Perhaps it will then be handed down that Friday the thirteenth was a lucky happy day (at least night). Boys get your dates, and let some girl friend help you make the Cadet Hop a dance of fun, and Friday 13 lucky. CHATTER AND CHAFF The newest endurance contest is that of a couple (many of them) at¬tempting to stand by a radiator or on the balcony the entire noon hour. WE EAT OUR OWN SMOKE Our fresh air flues open at the top of our buildings; so does our smoke stack. As a consequence we draw down in our own smoke and soot and distribute it evenly throughout the classrooms of the building and thus avoid giving it to our neighbors. Aren't we thought¬ful, considerate and kind? We'll say we are! HURRAH FOR OUR SIDE! As we entered our building this morning we found our front steps had been thoroughly cleaned, varn-ished, polished. This is only the beginning of our clean-up campaign. Ogden High School Notes February 3, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor. Give a play a bad name, and there'll be standing room only. FELLOW STUDENTS! W?L the cheer Naders, speaking ifor the school as a whole and the team, certainly wish to congratu¬late those students who so nobly (oh, sweet noble souls), supported the team in its first game. The students were sports, through and through, and yelled to our complete satisfaction. Your support was unacjubtedly a factor in assisting in Winning the "feame. Those students wWo didn't go certainly missed the time of their lives; however, we realize that the "repression's" on only hope that you can be in attendance at our next game 100 per cent. Fine work, gang. ESTOLONI CLUB REPORT There was nothing much done by the students, but Mrs. Newcomb seemed to take great delight in cornering certain students and exposing their seeming unpreparedness and ignorance. Bob Kimball sounded a true note when he filed a complaint against the present name of our club. It lis easy to see that anyone hearing that name would think the girl members were all old hens, and that the boys were the biggest bunch of sissies in school. A committee of consolation was appointed and in a couple of months we may get a little action, how-ever, to avoid disappointment, hope for nothing. After a little more of the usual harangue over the inefficiency of the reporter the meeting was unani-mously adjourned. —John Honking. A NEW HIGH SCHOOL Of course, we all know the school's greatest need is a new building, and while we are at it we may as well get a good one. My suggestion would be to buy the new municipal golf course at the mouth of Ogden canyon. That would give us plenty of room for a swimming pool, tennis courts, miniature golf course, a ski hill, stadium, baseball diamond and a steam heated garage furnishing an Austin to every stu¬dent. Now as to the building: It should be about ten stories high with a roof garden on top where one could go to dine and dance anytime dur¬ing school hours. All of the rooms would be very large and furnished with soft overstuffed chairs instead of desks. There would be a bell on the arm of each chair that could be pushed anytime that you wanted the teacher to leave the room. At one end of the room would be a soda- fountain where you could get an ice cream soda any time the lesson got too dry. Instead of having to walk from class to class there would be men running taxies up and down the halls. All you would have to do when the bell rang is to stand outside the door and wait until the taxi, with the number of the room you wanted to go to next painted on the side, came by, then hop in and ride to your next class. —J. E. Hall. Mrs. McKey: "Where are the islands of Hawaii?" "What?"Clark (juSt waking UP): Mrs. McKey: "Hawaii." David :"Oh, I'm all right."
