Merrill of Ogden High school, reading: "On behalf of the school and for myself I wish to congratulate your school and the members of your basketball team on the most un¬usual exhibition of sportsmanship at the time of our game with Gran¬ite High school Friday evening and again of Saturday. Ogden High School Notes March 27, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor. Klassy Kalia will be in full swing by 9 tonight. Be there early, support the booths and help us make E it a real success. DEAR GRINDSTONE We invite the "Grindstone" who is refuting the "Dagger's" argument against the proposed amendment to please write some constructive argument. It is easy to find fault with the present council, because there is no plan that' is perfect, but we invite this inconsistent gentleman to support his own plan not to mutilate our contentions. Remem¬ber that a theory is judged by its own merits, not by another's de¬merits. The supporters of the pro¬posed amendment have not offered the merits of their plan. —The Dagger. CHATTER AND CHAFF "Golden Voice" Critchlow thinks he got gyped because his nomina¬tion for medicine-man wasn't printed (he nominated himself) and al¬so, he said, while up for jester he had a walkaway, but they knew this and decided to have a medi¬cine-man and cheat him out of it. The conceit of some people gets us down! Oh well, Roy means well. The queen will reign supreme to¬night. Everyone will be at the Berthana—even Tommy Hawk. Ki, yi—heap big time! Who is queen —either Dorothy or Geneva—come and see for yourself. "Boots and Her Bobbys." Bob Kimball's brain's sorta been in a whirl lately. The reason's quite plain—stick around old poker face (?). AT LAST Everything comes to them who wait. Following the well known adage—or whatever it is—we extend our hearty congratulations to our fighting band of Tigers (P. S.— The notes were lost and consequent¬ly failed to express our sentiments.) The basketball team has made a splendid record this year, winning in division championship and giving a very good account of them tc selves in the tourney. Boys, we an w certainly proud of you. We admire your fighting spirits. Some y, how, it seems, old man Jinx jus a had to add an injury to our lis and upset our last minute formid able working team. To our smil ing always cheerful coach, Dixon Kapple, we extend a vote of thanki and congratulations for the fin way he has maintained the spiri t and morale of the team. He i certainly the boys' friend. CONGRATULATIONS Weber county, we congratulate you for the wonderful team yoia have turned out. Although defeated in our division your Warrior t went to Salt Lake with all the perl and determination possible. Their hard work secured fourth place fo! them and we have a certain sensie of pride in the victory. You hav certainly upheld the prestige of thi t division well! We apologize for ou s tardiness in extending our congrat ulation. Once again it rests upon Webe to uphold the honor of this division—this time in an intellectua contest. Woodruff Deems, a brilliant junior of that institutior triumphed in the Constitutional contest, Wednesday night. Wood ruff, we wish you all the luck ii the world. We hope you win. A least, we're betting on you. ROTARY GUEST Meyer Lutzker, the winner of th S. A. R. contest, was invited as guest of honor to attend the Ro¬tary luncheon last Wednesday. Dr Wanless from A. C. college talked on international affairs. Meyer is going to deliver his oration before ic the next Rotary meeting. MUSIC STUDENTS' WISHES Mr. Hanson, the entire music department, Girls' Glee club, Boys' Glee club, orchestra, band and all wish you a most speedy recovery. Ogden High School Notes March 3, 1930 "There can be no other desire for gold and precious stones than to flaunt them before the eyes of those Who can not afford them." OUR CROWNING EVENT Well, gang, it's all over—but what a success! The Classicalia of 1931 will long be remembered by every-one who attended. The Indian idea that was carried throughout was very effective and we congrat-ulate all the committees in charge. Queen Dorothy was divine, and Geneva—could there have been a sweeter maid of honor? The vari¬ous booths were cleverly decorated and added much to the carnival at¬mosphere that prevailed. A large number of alumni attended and, we dare say, were impressed with the splendid manner in which their suc¬cessors are carrying on. Hats off to the king of school dances where the queen reigned supreme! ASSEMBLY REPORT During the assembly last Friday each club advertised its Classicalia booth. After we saw Glen Judd and Tough Wheelwright drink eight bot¬tles of soda water and Joe Foley throw Curtis Bybee to Gilmore, we enjoyed the regular assembly pro¬gram. Batio Salandino played two string selections and ingenuously produced music from a tree-leaf. The stu¬dents were delighted by the reading "One Version of the Proposal," which was given by Mickey Wedell after which Frank Grasteit sang two Indian selections. S. O. S. CLUB REPORT S. O. S. club meeting was called to order by President Bob Hetzel. The old and new business was dis-cussed; after this the meetnig was turned over to the order of the day. The election of new officers took place. Bob Rushmer was elected president of our club, Edward Aik-en, vice president; Houtz Green, secretary and treasurer; Vego Chris- man, sergeant-at-arms and parlia mentarian; and Arthur Cartwright reporter. Our officers for the followin eight weeks are very good student and we feel sure they will goveri our club as well as our late officer have done. We wish to congratu late our previous leaders on thi splendid work they have done fo; our club. Under the guiding hand of thj new leaders we are sure that yoi tvill hear more about the S. O. S club. —Arthur Cartwright, reporter. LEWIS ORATORICAL The preliminary try-outs for th Lewis oratorical contest will be hel Tuesday, April 14, from which fou best orations will be chosen. Th contest will be held in our assembl on Friday, April 24, where the tw best orations will be chosen to com pete in the contest at Weber County High on about May 1. CHATTER AND CHAFF Speaking of oratorical contests, we must not forget the Lewis contest and the gold watch as first place. Early Reeves said, "Well, I have a' watch, but if Mr. Lewis will give' me the cash instead I'll be glad to enter." Did you see the demure little Porky Greenwell as an army lass at the Classicalia? You didn't? Oh, you just saw Mick Chez? Well, well! WE 13 'We 13" has certainly distinguished itself again this year. Not only did. the members put forth every effort in the ticket selling contest, but they were determined to see the Classicalia go over with a success as far as their part was concerned. For big things—watch "We 13." —Speculator. Ogden High School Notes April 1, 1931 Our next great event is the opera, "Chimes of Normandy." Students, you will see in the presentation of this musical treat the greatest pro¬duction of its kind ever given in the history of Ogden high. "Chimes of Normandy" is a world famous opera, and some of the largest opera companies today have considered it a worth while theme for their stars. You will soon have the opportunity of seeing our own talent starring in this same opera. Mr. Hansen and the entire music department are working untiringly to make this event a success, but we need the support of every high school student. Boost the opera as you have boosted the Classicalia, and it will be a success! —Arleen Sessions. POETRY IN OUR LIBRARY Keats said "Poetry should be a friend to soothe the cares "and lift, the thoughts of man." . In poetry we can lose ourselves in Camelot with Arthur, Launcelot and Guinivere, or roam the Scottish Highlands with James Fitz-James and Ellen Douglas, or turn to the Age of Chivalry which Keats magically resurrected in "Eve of St. Agnes." Or again, we turn to nature with Keats in his "Ode to a Nightingale" or enter romance with "Emily Dickinson." There are poets and poetry for si every mood. We find many wonderful collections of the best poets in our own school library. The "Winged Horse," by Joseph Auslander and Frank E. Hill is a story of poetry and the poets. A companion volume to this book is the "Winged Horse Anthology," by the same author, a collection of the poetry itself. It includes the best of poetry, new and old, from Geoffrey Chaucer to the present day. We find many other good modern collections containing the best poems of such writers as E. A. Rob-inson, John Masefield, Robert Frost, Amy Lowell. Walter de La Mare, Edna St. Vincent Millay and scores of others. " One especially beautiful poem is Tristram, by E. A. Robinson. This dis a freak love poem based on the old Arthurian legends. We could tell you of many more (lovely examples of the poet's art, but browse among the booki Itt , library and find them for yotmu CHATTER AND CHAFF Lorraine's been among the ri i ing lately. Wonder if she went to Logan? Does anyone know how a Quaker yawns? Mildred Stromberg would appreciate the information. He: Do you know anything about John Cawley? She: No, all I know that's about John is Guinivere. "Put a penny on the drum-awl a soul." Carpe Diem's taking doations for an 80c that strayed avifl last Saturday night. They nekdjrl had to scour china. Frannie Foley thinks that it's btcause of him that Dorothy was queen. It's true that everyone knonl he has good taste, but he evldom doesn't know that he was the oon crook in her otherwise straight way to the throne. No oflenu Frannie. THE CRISIS April 3 is a crisis. Why? The students are going to vote on the amendment to our constitution. Is not that even a crisis? It surely is, because if the amendment is passed the government of our school will be changed, and this will upset the equilibrium of our welfare. Students, you must acquaint yourselves with this proposition and judge wisely, for the passage of this amendment will result in eventual injury to you. --The Dagger. WELCOME APRIL! Today is the first day of April. Oh, how the time does fly! Seniors, do you realize that in two short months it will all be over? Make these two remaining months valuable and happy. Get all you can out of your school work and enjoy your spare moments to the fullest extent. COPIES RECEIVED Mrs. Irwin's classes wish to express their appreciation of some special copies of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and his Letter to Mother Bixey. These were presented by a former student--Philip Empey--thanks for your interest, Phil. Ogden High School Notes April 2, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor. "There's more to life than this speeding up process." RESERVE THESE DATES! Students, are you reserving either the evening of April 10 or 11 to see the greatest feature of the year— the opera that is sponsored by the music department? The cast, aid¬ed by a large chorus, will be pre¬pared to portray the various charac¬ters in a manner that will be pleasing to all. You will be thrilled, haunted, excited, when this highly dramatic story is revealed. In order to create a greater in¬terest in this forthcoming event, a short character sketch of the prin¬cipals will be given each evening. Watch this column, and above all- plan to see this marvelous produc¬tion of "Chimes of Normandy." —Arleen Sessions. SPRING FOOTBALL Mr. Simkins' broad smile these days can, no doubt, be attributed to the fact that spring football is on. An abundance of material is on hand, and from what we can tell we ought to have a rip-snorter of a team next fall. Captain "Dutch" Jacobsen, Dale Anderson and Norum Dockum, veterans, will be back in the harness for a nucleus, and with many fine prospects from the juniors and junior highs to build with, Mr. Simkins feels that we're "not so bad off." We say we're "sitting pretty." If any one of you juniors have aspirations, see Mr. Simkins. "SAVED" Wednesday morning, eleven o'clock at Central Junior, several of the girls of our dramatic art class pre-sented a one-act play, "Saved." The play has strictly a girls' cast, the [players being Ruth Ames, Lydia Thurston, Mickey Wedell, Olive Davis, Ruth Lindsay and Edna Wil¬liams. The girls' efforts were en-thusiastically received. Miss Woolley directed the successful group. . ine work, girls. TRACK PROSPECTS The boys have donned the abbre¬viated pantaloons and gone in for track in a big way. WBH nual marathon just aroiad ner and the scholastic taflI field meets around the our prospects are rather Kapple has sent out a tracksters to report after work out. We have somifl sibilities in the sprints vault and if some of the boys would go in for . we might could turn oct eam winner. If you do anything fellows, doot. Report to Mr. Kapple diately. Let's have a good turnout. --Snoopy. Lorna and Rowland have been having some difficulties, but then they say true love never comes smoothly. The "Heyreeks" are trying to learn how to make waffles. There must be something "stirring" when they go in for things like that. Some day soon we're going to be privileged enough to hear a solo from David Shorten--or it may be an accordian solo. Just be patient. Company "A" took second place the platoon competition, because "B" company didn't. "A" company might have taken first place, but Stanford Holliday came up to right shoulder arms in three counts and the officers marked off for the unusual occurrence. CONGRESS REPORT Congress had another most ineresting debate Monday evening. Edna Williams and Helen Lindquist upheld the affirmative of the question, Resolved: That the United States recognize Soviet Russia immediately. Betty Goddard and Imogene Locke debated the positive. Both sides advanced points on this vital question. We can say that the coming of Forum is unsurpassed. Again Congress has accepted a challenge to debate Forum, this time on the lisa questin.
