Ogden High School Notes February 9, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor. The man that succeeds Is the man that thinks he can. Success comes in cans, failures in can'ts. ASSEMBLY The music department certainly doe« things well. The members should bo commended on the splen-did assembly given last Friday. The band played three entertaining numbers, Betty Co-ed, Souvenier and Ballet Egyptian. This was followed by the girls' trio, Dorothy Knowldon, Yvonne Peirce and Doris Wangsgard, who sang a negro song "Curly Headed Baby." "Dream of the Flowers" was then played by our latrmt; septet. Coincidently we have Ithree Max's in the O. H. S. male : Max Clark, Max Penton and Max Hooper. The other members of this musical unit is Frank Grastiet—Frank should be re-christened, Max Grastlet would sound muslcal, too. But regardless of names the musical quality of the O.H.S. male quartet of 1931 is above being excellent—it's great. Again—three cheers for the music department. —Owl et Frisby. JOIE FRANCAISE "Hello." "Hello, Echo?" "Yes." "Are you better today?" "Yes, thank you. What did you do In French meeting tonight?" "President Wall called meeting to order, minutes were read and the roll called. Pretty near 100 per cent present today, too." "The new amendment was voted void. Isn't that grand?" "It surely Is! What about the program?" "We are to have one next week, and it will be the best one we have t. I ever had." "Oh, that is lovely. I surely want to be there to hear it." FAMOUS NEWSGIRL The Notes staff sincerely hopes; that its assistant, Elma Skelton, aroused the interest of the students by presenting her plea for co-opera- Itlon In preparing better O. H. S. Notes. All interesting school life ean be recorded only through the Iindividual effort of every student. "A note a day makes our school more gay." Co-operate and win the essay contest. —Frisby. ORATORICAL CONTEST We wish to announce the national oratorical contest on the Constitution of the United States. A contest n the state competition will take place In our school, If there are enough Interested, some time in March. The numerous awards are certainlv worth trying for. For furthrr information see your English teacher. FORUM Aided by two new members, Forum Is ready to launch into an extensive study of the fundamentals of debates. Oh, yes, the two new members are Dell Fowers and Bill Alsup. who we feel are certainly a good addition to our organization. In keeping with our study of de¬bates we intend to debate often among ourselves, for you know, "practice makes perfect." By the end of this spring we hope to have acquired sufficient polish to scalp Congress, not once but twice. Ahem —We close for lack of anything else to say. —Andy. CHATTER AND CHAFF "Com-pa-nee, attention!" bawled Lieutenant Halloway to the crack company. "Companee—lift up your left leg and hold it straight in front of you." By mistake someone held up his right which brought it out side by side with his neighbor's left leg. "And who is the galoot over there holding up both legs?" Paul Goddard: "Why do girls al¬ways stutter when about to be kissed?" Yvonne: "I-I—d-d-don't k-k-now."! Be a man! (Gedunk.) Buy a beret. There seems to be something new s and interesting around school for Virginia Oborn. Oh, well. A NEW HIGH SCHOOL Tomorrow is the gala day. Every honorable student of Ogden High is to escort one giant firecracker to school. Each student will chaperone his "little red candle" to an ap¬pointed room and at the sound of the gong there will be a general uprising, students and all. From that time on there will be no need for a much needed high school. —Joyce Hall ZETA PHI XI Once again, Zeta Phi Xi comes sliding into view. Skis! Toboggans; Snow! Winter sports have obtained our full attention. Geneva is still eager to learn more about skiing, so Wednesday wil] again be happy day. Our time is now very short, And we must have lots of fun For soon Winter's Carnival, Itself, will be nearly done. —Harriet Robison, Reporter, GREGG ARTISTS Last Wednesday a special meeting was called by President Gay. The members of the club have been pa- tiently waiting for their pins, and they arrived Wednesday. Have you seen them? Neat, aren't they? D. A. C. A club plus a purpose plus talent quals excellent results and honor¬ary membership. The members of D. A .C. have all of the above credentials, and plus those they have enthusiasm. Members of other clubs do not enjoy a club more than the lucky D. A. C. members. You can all look forward, some¬thing big is coming. —M. D. Ogden High School Notes February 10, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor Keep control of yourself, do not let circumstances master you. CARPE DIEM ast four officers and one pledge to be elected—imagine taking up a whole hour of business just for them, lit only took a few minutes for the offleers, Dorothy Knowldon, president; Ruth Greaves, vice president; Yvonne Peirce, secretary-treasurer; Lorna Malan, reporter; so you can' imagine how vivid the discussion about the pledce. After many argulinents we finally decided on Jeanne Vail, a lovely girl whom, I am sure, we will all love. Our motto, "thei better we know her the more wef love her,'' will undoubtedly apply, LORNA MALAN. STELLAE The stars are still shining and more brightly than ever, for we have eight new ones to radiate their personalities throughout the heaven of Ogden high. The lucky ones are Marie Louise Dobbs, Elaine Evans, Elaine Stevens, Anita Van Dyke, Bob O'Neil, Dale Anderson, Eugene Goddard and Russel Farr. Congratulations We held our meeting Friday nigh at the home of Chuck Peterson. W discovered that Lafe Snyder is "no so bad" when it comes to orating oi j the subject of the orbits of thi universe. We certainly learne some interesting things about thi new baby planet "Pluto." Our new officers are our old one —Raymond Raty, president; Ruth Greaves, vice president; Jim Riley secretary, and Duane Darling, reporter. You don't need your telescope to watch Stellae, we're up and doing. CADET HOP Those who have attended our former cadet hop dances await expectantly the same affair which will take place Friday, February 13, at the Berthana. This dance is an outstanding form of entertainment (that no one should fail to enjoy. The crack company display is astounding. The white gloves, the in-spiring uniforms, the simultaneous movements are beyond impressiveness. We should not even consider missing such a great affair. The an¬nual cadet hop must be a success , Attend this dance and complete the efforts of our O. H. S. cadet corps FRISBY. HOOP NEWS This is Owl announcing the tournament results for Monday morning.

I-WANNAN-O The first meeting of the second semagter, called to order at the home of Mr. Kimball, found the membership thinking of elections. The ef¬fects wore off rapidly though, since the three more important officers, namely, Bob Kimball, president; Ray Raty, vice president, and Dave Morrell, secretary, were unanimously re¬elected to pilot our club through the next half year. A new reporter was chosen. We then turned to our science dis¬cussion for the evening. The talk, given by Max Mairs, recalled to us the life of the great scientist, Gali¬leo. After an extremely interesting set of questions were asked by the members and answered by the speaker, the meeting was adjourned. WINCHESTER. NEW HIGH SCHOOL When shall we get a new high school? When the present one wears out. Will the present one ever wear out? Why, my dears, don't be silly; simprtv let human nature take its course. Who is that animal, human nature, that is going to take a course? (The dumbbell, I wonder whether it will be an English course or scientific).. Well, just this, those ever enticing! balconies just can't hold out much longer with so many Romeos and Juliets roaming in the confines of this edifice. Oh, and the radiators, my dears, just how much longer are they going to supply their noonly loads? Can't you see the destiny that looms in the future? Utter ruina¬tion. Mr. Hanson, a goodly teach¬er, has even taken to shanghaiing people in order to get them to play a French horn, or some fool noise- maker. So, now, we may expect the roof to be raised any time by our band. I almost forgot the new and big factor which is going to help us solve our problem. It is no other than the new practice recently in¬stalled in our school, that of auc¬tioneering. Some day in the very near future, Andy will get every student so worked up that the gym will be literally torn to pieces. (I don't know what will happen to us loyal students; but then, that doesn't matter). Now, with the balconies caving in, the radiators past their better days, and the gym, well, fig¬ure it out for yourself. There would not be much left, would there? Why worry about our school? It doesn't know how to take care of itself. ALICE BARKER. To Dale: The student body as a whole wishes you a most speedy re¬covery. We can't have a good man down. To Superintendent Wiggins: We wish vou a speedy recoverv. O. H. S. PUPILS ENTER CONTEST Essay Project Sponsored By American Chemi¬cal Society One of the most noteworthy proj¬ects of Ogden High school is the annual essay project, sponsored by the American Chemical society, and carried out by the students of the chemistry classes. Each student is allowed to select a topic for extend¬ed study, upon which he later writes in his most effective style, the gist of the material garnered. The proj¬ect is interesting and regarded as a very desirable supplementary aid to the study of chemistry. The in¬structor, Willis Smith, has recently suggested some 50 topics that lend themselves to this treatment. These topics are listed under the following heads: "Relation of Chemistry to Health and Disease," "The Enrich¬ment of Life," "Agriculture or For¬estry," "National Defense," "The Home," "The Development of In¬dustry." Since the project was initiated seven years ago, Ogden High school has won a first and a second prize j each year, and usually two or three honorable mentions. Ogden High School Notes February 11, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor, Lucille Spencer and Ruth White, Typists. There are three kinds of people in the world—the wills, the wont's, the can'ts. The first accomplish everything, the second oppose every¬thing, and the third fail in every¬thing. WEBER VS. OGDEN The critical game—we've already used the word crucial twice—will take place Friday night in the We-ber county gym. We are now in a tie with the Warriors for first place and if we can only defeat them, then and only then will our dream of that trophy materialize. The Weberites and our gang, on paper, are about the same strength, but we feel that on the floor we hold the shade of difference that will be necessary to pierce the Warrior's armor. However, when Weber and Ogden meet predictions aren't worth two pins. The students who had the privilege of witnessing the game last year can tell anyone that it was a rip-snorter. And how! Ef¬forts are being made to have the game early in order to accommo¬date the students who intend to go to the Cadet hop. On to Weber— and don't forget to get your berets so you can flash them on our neigh¬bors to the north. YOUR OBLIGATION Two more days in which to pre¬pare for the Cadet hop. It is every boy's obligation to attend this gala event. Especially is it the duty of all cadets to support their own dance. A good incentive to at¬tend this affair would be to return the courtesy of the Girls' Accolade. —Frisby. SENIORS Seniors, you may at last rest as¬sured. The pins and rings have ar¬rived! You may procure your piece at Lewis' any tune, provided you sent your order before December, —John Cawley. FAMOUS COUPLES Where found—Mrs. Irwin's room at noon. Favorite pastime—Talking (about basketball). Theme song—Hurt. Title—Frannie and Dot. Where found—Dave Wangsgard's room. Favorite pastime—Saying little French words to each other. Theme song—When The One You Love Loves You. . Title—John and Guinivere. SPEAK EASY After the usual much ado about nothing we examined the wind that had been cast off from the boys and found that the usual strength in numbers had again wrought the undoing of the fair sex and placed upon the ruling seat the desire of all, Preston, son of Mulcahy. The wiles of the women were sufficient to firmly entrench Ruth Greaves upon the right hand side of the indispensible Mulcahy, while upon the unfaltering Percy Oda was placed the job of chiseling down the min¬utes for the next six weeks. After several of the students told a pack of lies about the enjoyment they get out of literature—notice I said lit¬erature—the meeting was adjourned, to the intense relief of those who had not yet disgorged themselves of a couple of falsehoods. —The Nit Wit of the Speakeasy. CONGRESS Congress was called to order Mon¬day evening by President Nelson. After the regular order of business, we journeyed to Weber college to hear the debate between Weber and Occidental college of Los Angeles. The debate, Resolved: That the nations of the world should adopt a policy of free trade, proved to be most interesting and profitable. I'm sure everyone there learned many things heretofore unknown to him about what constitutes the ethics
