Show AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Why is it we always get the blunt end of things—referring to having to pay again at the Ogden-Weber game. —The Cheap Skate. Dear Cheap Skate: You must have been misinformed. Ogden High students get in on stu- dent body tickets; Weber students only, must pay. Call again. —Aunt Jane. Dear Aunt Jane: Is it true that only those who buy tickets for the Classicalia can vote for the queen? —Opposed. Dear Opposed and O. A. F.: It is true. To vote in the finals for the queen you must by a ticket to the Classicalia. The Classicalia is put on by the student body, we want every one there. We think all, students interested in the publication of the Year Book will be there. Hence the final election of the queen will be by interested students. No one outside the student body will be allowed to vote and only one vote to the student. Call again. —Aunt Jane. Dear "Up a Stump": Suoport your own student body— by all means. —Aunt Jane. CHIMES OF NORMANDY Once asrain the mellow silver- toned bells of "Chimes of Nor¬mandy" will rine out, bringing a (message of beautiful music, interest¬ing plot, delightful comedy, and su¬perior entertainment. "Chimes of Normandy" will be presented April 10 and 11 at the Weber County High school auditori¬um by the music department of the Ogden Senior High school. A well trained chorus of 100 voices, an orchestra of 25 musicians, and a cast of principal characters, well chosen, together with special cos¬tumes and scenery will constitute the performance of this well-known opera. "Chimes of Normandy has some of the most beautiful operatic melo¬dies and choruses yet written. The music sparkles with charm. The oo- era abounds in scenes of dramatic 'force and intenseness. Comedy of the most refreshing type is preva¬lent throughout. The music students are delighted with this well-known work of art. Tryouts have been held and some instances parts have been chosen. However, those working for a, principal part are so closely matched as to ability and singing voice that final decisions have not as yet been made. The part of Gaspard, the miser, demands a wonderful amount of acting ability and stage presence. All parts together with the opera management will be announced Tuesday next. CONTEST FOR JESTER Dear! Dear! Dear! These nomin¬ations certainly are falling to a low level. How about some really help¬ful ideas? Pardon me. I had for¬gotten that you all lack thoughts. "An Entusiast for Square Deals" might at least quit trying to fit an oblong nut in a square nutcracker as he is evidently trying to do inr nominating Eugene Moshie, chief potentate of the Moosherites of Huntsville, of which Dave Wangsgard is a charter member. An egotistical note just came sounding as though Roy Critchlow wrote it himself. His favorite line is addressed to the girls, thus: "Your eyes are divine, but so are mine." Shall we give him a chance? The man among men, Max Mairs. What a man, what a man. "Mickey" Chez for fool. Ideal, Milad, congratulations. Brunetti, the wart, has three nom¬inations in today's fan mail. Any of you girls looking for jobs or does the "gorilla" scare you? In voting remember the time he had sitting everyone in one place. It is ru-mored that he was court jester in the time of Queen Ann in the Dark Ages. For some unknown reason he is out of a job at present. Give him a chance. "Sunny Boy" or is it "Girl" thinks "Sally" O'Neil, otherwise known as Thomas, is the ideal man for the position of jester. Quotation: "His good looks, charm, taking person¬ality, dramatic ability, and talent with women would aid him in acting the part with flying colors." No blushes. "One thing against him is the fact that he might carry the queen by his wooing and taking ways. The queen might enjoy it if it is a certain girl." Unquote. Loud moans from the vacuum cleaner that writes this slush. The identity of the lady in the case is one bit of dirt that has escaped him. Help, please! Don't forget to vote and look over the nominees Thursday. Bang! The "Cleaner" blew out his dirt collector and so limps off for repair. I'll see you subsequently. Ogden High School Notes March 5, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor If you exaggerate once, you are likely to do it again and finally make it a habit. Stick to facts and you'll have nothing to regret. HOW MANY WANT TO JOIN? It will cost two dollars for one of you clubs to prove that you are the peppiest club in the school. How come? You see, it's like this. There is to be a club competition of sell¬ing tickets to the Classicalia. Every club desirous of entering will post two dollars with the general com¬mittee. Then after the selling cam-paign is finished, the club who has sold the most tickets will receive 75 per cent of the club forfeits. The second place winner will win 25 per cent. Thus, if ten clubs enter, the winner will receive fifteen iron men, the second, five. A tidy little sum, we must say. Those desirous of en¬tering notify Doyle Jensen. Please, don't push!—Snoopy. FINAL "NUT PROSPECTS" The list of nominees for the queen's court jester is now com¬plete. Take your pick and choose the fool. Andrew "Wart" Burnetti. Richard "Mickey" alias "Louy Wolheim" Chez. William "Baby Pluto" Reeves. Johnny Henderson. Max Mairs, "The Man." Russell "Pal" Farr. Aleen Hunter. June "Blondy" Harrison. Eugene Mosker "Chief Potentate." Thomas "Sally" O'Neil. Roy "Golden Voice" Critchelow. As the nominations closed this morning these "nut prospects" seem to be your choice. It's a good thing that there are few squirrels in town or the school would have to close. CARPE DIEM The pledges, all for the pledges, of Carpe Diem. Can they cook? Can they wash dishes? Did they give a good party? Well, answer this: Can Carpe Diem members eat and do they enjoy life? Now, you have the answer. We came; we saw; we ate. Then, we played bridge and talked of everything—prohibition, school activities, lemon juice, mur¬ders, and morality plays. Really, pledges, we enjoyed the party im¬ mensely and we thank you tor your enthusiasm. May you feel awarded for "The reward of a thing well done is to have it done."—Lorna Malan. NEW HIGH SCHOOL The need of a new high school is not merely a question involving the construction of a beautiful civic es¬tablishment or of providing proper rooming and equipment for students. It is a question of an ideal. We do more than attend and study at school; we become that school. Within its atmosphere we lounge, we play, or we study, acting as we are affected. In the exterior world, ( we choose our places of occupations, for the atmosphere which they convey, resorts and town for the, spending of money, the mountains for camping and solitude, and the; 1 church for mental solace and retro¬spection. Accordingly we go toi school, supposedly to study efficiently, but are restricted by the improprieties of our surroundings. Car, ; we, under the conditions which oui dilapidated building offer, be ex¬pected to obtain the best results from our students? Can we ,at times, be blamed for disorderly con¬duct in the halls and assemblies? No decorum committee should be necessary in an ideal school, no gav¬el pounding in assemblies. The ideal students need an ideal school. CHATTER AND CHAFF The sponsors will take collections any time during the day tomorrow ifor the officers' banquet tomororw night. Bring all you can spare — we hear they'll need it. "I beg your pardon," said the girl timidly. "Would you care to help the Working Girls' home?" "Sure thing," said O. B. "I'll take; them in my car. Where are they?' The war is on! The preliminary elections for queen of the Classicalia. were held last night. We'll announce the fifteen plucky girls tomorrow. Harold M.—Tell me how long girls should be loved? Howard M.—Same as short onos guess. ger score. The game ended 10-0. This is Spy signing off—more tomorrow. ROUSING PEP RALLY Wednesday at 1 p. m. a pep rally was held in preparatoin for the Weber-Ogden game. Anyone who was there was thoroughly convinced of the genuine enthusiasm O. H. S. jhas.

WARRIORS WIN The Tigers flashed their new suits! for the first time in the crucial gme of the season with the Warriors Wednesday night. Dick Thorne's aggregation held the long end of the score all through the first three periods. With but a few minutes left to play, the last quarter, the Tigers scored a sensational rally, tied the score at the end of the fourth quarter, thus necessitating a five-minute extra period of play. During this time the fans enjoyed some of the most exciting basketball of the year. In this periodk Sarlo, of the Warriors, scored the winning goal and a few minutes 7 later, Stratford pitched a free throw v to make the final score of 29-26 Throughout the game the spirit of the O. H. S. student body was never lacking in enthusiasm. The team was supported in as genuine a manner as could be expected and the same spirit must prevail at next Monday's game if we expect to win Weber's victory forced the Tigers into a deadlock with them for first place in the Ogden division. We're going down to the Weber gym Mon¬day with a determination to win, so, students, ,get behind the team and fight! DEBATERS CHOSEN Aside from the agitation of Wed¬ nesday's queen nominations and the Weber-Ogden basketball game was assembled a group of teachers to determine which students were most t capable of representing Ogden High 'school in the state debates this year. The fortunate scholars who survived the final eliminating try-out are William Alsup, Earl Reeves, Preston Mulcahy and John Cawley, who will act as the regular teams t and Helen McKay will act as the alternate. These students are worthy of the task which they have assumed. They are able to defend tour reputation and they will un-doubtedly uphold the dignity of our school. Good luck and success to the teams! ZETA PHI XI Thrills! Romance! Don't get ex¬cited. It is only the results of our theatre party. We had a grand time even after a heated discussion on "vampires." What are a few squeals when two people like Virginia Oborn and Marian Stewart agree on one subject so well? Mrs. Royal Eccles gave a splendid talk on India at our last meeting. Fay Seager and Hazel Schenck ren-dered musical numbers and Mar¬garet Betts gave a very clever read Sing about Mr. Dave Wangsgard. We all know now how Dave makes love, even when rejected a few times. Last but not least, have you seen the pleasant expressions on the faces of two lucky juniors? They are Vir¬ginia Hunter and Mildred Larson. Girls, look your bsst and be real nice, maybe you wiil be not. lots of fun to be a pledge—Harriet Robison, Reports NEW HIGH SCHOOL After going into deep contbM with my—oh, well, anywajhH going into deep conferenctj thought upon several good plagfl obtaining a new school. mVM thought which came into my ter mind was that of deslrjetfcM For instance, use this school shooting gallery or probably bjH contest awarding a prize to son or persons marring the H ing to the greatest extent, !« Another idea just popped iolifl mind.

RAYMOND RATY, Secretary. Ogden High School Notes March 9, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor Be on the lookout for something beautiful that is coming along in about a month. With the chimes of spring comes the "Chimes of Normandy." ASSEMBLY REPORT In a regular Friday assembly three orations of the constitution contest were delivered. After the main speeches had been given, extempo¬raneous talks were prepared and presented. The orations were pro¬ductions of quality and the judges experienced an extremely difficult task in choosing Andrew Brunetti as the representative of the high school in the constitution contest this year. We wish Andrew the greatest success, but we assure him that Helen McKay and Marion Ensign ran a close second and third, respectively, to his oration. An¬drew's subject was "Webster and the Constitution," Helen was "The Constitution at antee of the Liberty of the Individual," and Marion Ensign's "The Origin of the Constitution." Elda Skinner, Hortense Hatch and Bernice Hall of Weber college entertained us with a delightmgB tion and an enjoyable reading. FRISBY.
