ASSEMBLY REPORT Virginia True entertained the students in Friday's assembly with an orlginal and humorous reading, "Minnie at the Movies." The opera was advertised by means of a clever skit in which Joe Foley, acting as play director, conducted a farce opera rehearsal. Amid the screams of hysterical actresses, Ray Raty introduced and characterized the personnel of the opera. Leon Cole and his accordian were again received with utmost pleasure which necessitated a series of encores, after which assembly adourned. WHAT'S Next? Don't you know? The Junior Prom—of course.

They were very orderly and well-behaved at all times; they were on the job every ninute and energetically and de¬terminedly worked to put on that fery difficult opera. They did the vork splendidly and I am very proud if them. Because of their attitude md willingness to co-operate they nade the work of Mr. Hansen and nyself much easier than it would otherwise have been. I wish to ompliment and thank the boys and iris for their splendid co-opera-on." Ogden High School Notes April 13, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor The man who is spoiled by honest, praise is only half good to begin with. THANKS FOR OPERA With the opera over and everyone still talking about the splendid per¬formance of both principals and chorus the Notes wishes to express the appreciation of the student body. It was a glorious success and reflects the high plane of train¬ing offered by our music department. Raymond Raty as the miser was very good and we all feel very proud of having such an actor in our midst. Glen Judd as Jean Grenicheaux was also very good. Ger¬maine and Serpolette covered them¬selves with glory. Much credit is due Mr. Hanson for his untiring efforts and of course we must not forget Mr. Robinson, who, each year, helps to make our operas the fin¬ished products they really are. All in all we are exceptionally proud of everyone who took part and once again we wish to thank all the fac¬ulty members who helped to make the opera the success it really was. CHATTER AND CHAFF Every dog has its day. In this case the gym class got sweet re- venge on the fans who persisted in razzing every play and every error that the boys made in their base¬ball games. They really tried hard. Well, the boys finally pulled a triple play and—the "fans" who were so generous in their vocal razzberries have not been located yet. However, if you drop out behind the rifle range you can see the hole they made. If you want a nice cold shower— free—visit any room some morning when the janitors direct artificial rain at the open windows. Max Mairs: Congratulations Ray! You surely did well in the miser act in the opera. Ray Raty: Yeah, it is nice to horde money that way. Isn't it, Max? Lou Peery can't decide whether to go to the senior reception or to Europe. He says he's taking Elaine Stevens to Europe hut still he hates to miss the senior reception. Well, it is quite a problem! David Morrell changed his socks. The color of them today is "baby blue." Yes, he looks good in almost any color. Believe it or not—Doyle Jensen has a date. —Ripley. CONGRESS . And still Forum condescends to debate with Congress! Well, any way, it was a swell debate and we want to compliment both teams, Marian Ensign and Nathalie Lay- ton; George Thatcher and Andrew Brunetti, all who so very ably de¬bated Monday evening on the ques¬tion: Resolved, that the United States recognize Soviet Russia. We are proud of the girls who debated for Congress, and we are sure Forum is proud of her debaters. And, in¬cidentally, we might add, the de¬ cision was very close, Congress being given 13 points and Forum 12. —Ruth Ames. NEWCOMB'S KNIGHTS Owing to the unpreparedness of one of the debaters there was no debate Friday, but in its stead were given extemporaneous talks on sub¬jects ranging from, "The Value of Parliamentary Law," to "Child La¬bor." The talks were very well giv¬en, some being serious, others hum¬orous in tone. As usual, the class dispersed with alacrity as the as¬sembly bell rang. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: When I read the Weber Warrior News last Friday night, I saw the letter directed to a Brunette at Og-den High. I am a pretty Brunette and have heard that courtship is very prosperous through correspon-dence. Please, Aunt Jane, make it possible for me to correspond with this Romeo. By the way, please find out what color his eyes and han are so I'll know him when I see him. —Brunette. Dear Brunette: Sorry, but I'm afraid you'll have to apply to a matrimonial agency or better still maybe Professor "Knoseall can help you. —Aunt Jane. THE DICTIONARY Do you know the dictionary? You are no doubt familiar with the ar¬rangement and ordinary uses of it. You know you will find there the spelling, the meaning and pronun¬ciation of words, and whether these words are nouns, verbs or adjec¬tives. Everyone uses the dictionary for these points, but not everyone rea¬lizes how much other information is to be found in it. You can find: (1) Synonyms for words that you already know. When synonyms are given you will find them after the definition, following the abbreviation, "Syn." (2) Derivation of words—most of the words you use come from older languages, Greek, Latin, Anglo- Saxon, etc. (3) Variety of mean¬ing—i n some words a number of definitions are given—find the one that fits your need. (4) Abbrevia¬tions—in the New International you will find them in the regular alpha¬bet below the line, in New Standard under the word "abbreviations." (5) Proper names—the dictionary has a bioeranhieal eazeteer in the back for persons and a geopraphical - Gazeteer for places, giving briefly important facts. (6) New words—in the front of the dictionary you will find a section called the "addenda" which contains new words, new ab¬breviations, and proper names, etc. (7) Foreign phrases—such phrases as "a propos," "sine die," "hors de 'oeuvre," "ad libitum," etc., are to be found in the alphabetical place in body of New International below the lines. In the New Standard in the regular vocabulary or in some other dictionaries you may find a list of them in either the front or back of the book.

DEBATES AND DEBATING Now thta the opera is over, and a very fine opera it was, the next events of great importance on our calendar are the annual inter- scholastic debates. The students have suddenly become debate con-scious. Of course those industrious senators from Congress and Forum and the members of the public speaking classes have been holding debates between themselves right along, but now with the practice debates with Weber and Morgan High schools on and the finals com¬ing next week, the whole school has begun to sit up and take notice. The question this year is: "Resolved: That the chain stores are detri¬mental to the best interests of the American people." Our very ca¬pable debaters are John Cawley and Preston Mulcahy for the affir¬mative, and William Alsup and Earl Reeve who will support the nega¬tive. We congratulate you, team, on your splendid success so far and wish you the best of luck.—Mary Haynie. JUNIOR PROM J—uniors, here's your chance, and you are . U—nder obligation to show the seniors the N—eatest time they've had in rec¬reation. I—t's going to be the biggest dance O—f this, our junior year. R—emember April 24th, you'll have great fun, don't fear. P—erhaps you won't all come. Your R—eason I cannot see, but O—h, come, you students all, is M—y advice to thee. —Arleen Sessions. ARTISTS After the big success, the beauti¬ful painting and decorating of the opera scenery, the art students are also turning to contests. Probably thirty students will enter the state poster contest. From the showing the art department made in making the scenery for the opera, we think they stand a good chance for honors. A NICKEL This morning when we opened the note box we were greeted by five shining pennies! Somebody certainly isn't affected by these "hard times." Well, the pennies were used for a good cause—thanks! Call again, sometime! CHATTER AND CHAFF You've probably noticed a dark handsome fellow around school who hasn't been here for a long time. Well, that's David Wright. You've
