Every tree is fur niahed with a brand new coat of gRen leaves; every flower starts out Mlt. The lawns and shrubs become pretty green and the rose bushes art to prepare their beautiful IkBoms. The cool spring showers Wp to wash everything and Mr. Sun puts color and warmth in all things. This spring cleaning of every- thing else makes even the lovers liven up and try to gain their points (ureethearts). Their minds are dived of all the dreary thoughts (like books, lectures and examina- ttO) and they think of running hooks and shady nooks and all the wreet romantic things in life. They find Inspirations for poems and love songs. Have you ever seen a pair of lovers that did not long to be out with nature. No, and the reaaons are that they also are starting out on a new trend of thought and Listen, fellow students, it is spring. So let's all start out anew, making every moment count. We only have a short time now in which to wind up our school record for 1930-31. Let's all have a general spring cleaning of ourselves and fine ish our work up right. Everything else does the spring cleaning up to the standard, you know. MARIAN WARNER. CHATTER AND CHAFF I We wonder what that Raty guy has that makes the girl Gasp-ard.

BETA ZETA TAU Scratches, bruises, stiffness and what not are the chief results of a successful skating party we held last Friday night. After skating, or rather trying to skate on the uneven roads, toward the wind, and up the dugwav, we finally reached our des¬tination, at El Monte springs. Then oh, what a glorious time we had in that large pool all to ourselves. Yes, we really did have a spiasnmg as well as a very wet good time. When our lungs were well sup¬plied with water we emerged from the swimming pool and spent the rest of the evening eating and re¬pairing skates. At last, as much as we hated to, we had to glide down that beautiful canyon dugway and how we did take to our wings, even in spite of autos, bumps, curves and Madge's broken j; skate. The wind just couldn't resist the temptation of having, not only Miss Schofield, but all of us, gradually glide to our doom in the dirt and brush alongside of the road. Just the same, it was worth all these results and I think those who didn't go are now wishing they had. DOROTHY MOORE, Reporter. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: How are the student body officers for next year elected? Are the se¬niors the ones who pick the candi-dates, or do the juniors have a choice? BERTHA. Dear Bertha: We hold a nominating convention the first week in the new term. A delegate will be present for each ten students. After the nominees pave been nominated, we will hold regular student body convention. juniors and seniors have an equai chance. AUNT JANE. SPECIAL ASSEMBLY Special or especially good—both The assembly Monday was certain¬ly something not to be missed. Students of A. C. and Professor Jacobson came to entertain us and tel. fl.us what we can gain by going tc college. Miss Rebecca Stewart anc Everrett Larson accompanied b; Miss Delia Lundahl gave three string selections. Miss Stewart also gav a solo. As Mr. Jacobson said, "Th musical numbers were the jelly— him talk the pill. Oh, if only all pills did as much good as his pill, if only all were as easy to take. We certainly did enjoy the assembly and we hope we may have the A. C people with us again. SPY. CADET RIVALRY The company and platoon competitions during the school year £ have been fairly equally divided, Companies A, B and C have vied with each other in being rated first for the coveted honor in the weekly competitions. Each company has won honors. Company B has won the Kanzler cup three years and the i morale and perfection of details in this company at present show that any company taking the honor from this company will have to fight for it. Company A at this time shows a better cadence in both step and manual of arms than company B while company C shows that its officers are superior in knowledge of the various drills. All companies drill exceptionally well and choosing between them will be difficult. However, arrangements are being made to bring some infantry officers from Ft. Douglas May 6 to decide upon the ability of the companies. The cadet corps as a whole is fighting for first place in the corps area in hon¬or schools. In the platoon drill, which also has a cup as a reward, there is nothing to choose. The platoons drill exceptionally well. All of them have won honors in one or more phases of drill. All of them have la chance to win the cup. Perhaps Calvin Pitt of company C and his platoon have the best chance because Pitt happens to be Pitt.

SPEAKING CONTEST On May 8 at the University of Utah the extemporaneous contest will be one of the many features offered. Anyone in our school who is a senior or junior of our school, if you are desirous of entering the contest, see Mrs. McKey. Prelim¬inary tryouts will be arranged to de¬termine a representative from our school. The following is taken from a letter from the University: The extemporaneous speaking contest will be conducted as fol¬lows: Twenty-five topics will be selected by the extension division from articles and editorials (not ad¬vertisements) appearing in the Feb¬ruary, March and April, 1931, is¬sues of the following magazines: s The Forum, The Popular Mechan¬ics, and the Literary Digest.

One 1 hour before they deliver their speeches they should draw from some container two of the twenty-flve subjects, then retire to a room by themselves without notes, source material, or help of any kind, to prepare speeches on one of the two topics drawn. To a good extemporaneous speaker this contest offers a real opportunity. Do not pass it up! AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: In a previous note you said to leave all formality at home for the Junior Prom. But don't you think, seeing as this is the only chance we girls have to wear our formal dresses, that a corsage would fit in very well? Remember, we have no other chance to adorn the little finishing touches and we girls do love flowers. —Some Senior Girls. Dear Senior Girls: We heard that plea at the "Holly Hop Time" but we're more interested in having all seniors present than c having them in flowers. —Aunt Jane. Dear Aunt Jane: We read that High School day for the seniors is to be on May 1 at the U. S. A. C. at Logan. Are seniors going to be excused to go to Logan? —Wondering. Dear Wondering: The first of May is the day we must all march, but after the parade you may all go to Logan.—Aunt Jane. S. O. S. REPORT Meeting was called to order at 9 p. m. in the Berthana ballroom. All dances having been previously traded, no one experienced any trouble excepting those who forgot their programs. The dances were excellent, and the the music divine. We depart¬ed after the twelfth dance. A short ride took us to Dick's Cafe, where we had refreshments and ice water. Outside of a very mischievous mosquito all was serene. Several of the officers made attempt at toasts (practice makes perfect). A slow ride throughout the citj brought a very entertaining evening to a close. —Arthur Cartwright. Go to Smalley Brothers' window on Twenty-fifth street and ser something of which we riflemen ar very proud. R. T. LETTER ARRIVES The following is an excerpt from a letter received by Mrs. Newcomb regarding a picture of our queen, Dorothy, and an explanation of our Classicalia in the Pittsburg Post- Gazette Dear Mrs. Newcomb: When I found this clipping in this morning's paper, it reminded me that I did at one time go to Ogden High school, and also made me think of you, and wonder how you iare—you see that I still retain that habit of composing long mixed-up sentences. Congratulations to the little girl, although I don't know who she is, and here's hoping for bigger and better Classicalias. May this letter find you in the best of health, with that same agree¬able and sunny disposition. Your former student, ALFRED M. FUNK, Erie, Pa. P. S.—Who writes the Ogden High School Notes, or do they still continue that ancient custom ? Mr. Funk is a graduate of the University of Utah, where he stud¬ied mechanical and electrical engin-eering, and is now engaged as en¬gineer in charge of testing electric locomotives at the General Elec¬tric company plant in Erie, Pa. CONGRATULATIONS We wish to congratulate Miss Iras Leavitt, a student of O. H. S. last year, on her splendid work she is doing at the A. C. in Logan. Iras is an "A" student and was just re¬cently pledged to a chapter of the Chi Omega national sorority. Also we wish to congratulate Don¬na Slater, valedictorian of O. H. S. in 1927, who has been chosen vale-dictorian of the A. C. this year. Donna has made a wonderful record for herself during her four years at the agricultural college and cer¬ tainly deserves nigh commendation. JUNIOR PROM Even amidst the monotony of the daily school routine there are a few dates on which we can depend to allow our stored-up energy its free¬dom. On such dates previous to this time we have shown our en-thusiasm to such an extent that we have made school activities a suc¬cess. Now, on the evening of April 24th, at the Berthana ballroom you have another opportunity for revel¬ry. Make the most of it, you loyal supporters of Ogden High. Arleen Sessions Ogden High School Notes April 23, 1931 RUTH GREAVES, Editor Event—junior prom. Time—tomor¬row night at 9. Place—Berthana ballroom. Price of admission—all seniors free as guests of the juniors; everyone else $1 per couple. Alum¬ni welcome. Parents welcome. Grab that phone. A last minute date is better than no date at all. GUESS WHAT Yes, here is sumthin' what is sumthin'. Hey, over there, if you will refrain from hurdling fountains for a half a minute, I'll let you in on a secret. Gather 'round, all. This year's junior prom is to be - given in Ogden's most beautiful ball¬room, the Berthana, on April 24. The orchestra has been practicing all season for this event, we feel sure. We've had samples of their pep, now we want the product. Fellows, get your date. The girls are going fast, so hurry. You'll never regret such a transaction if you I hurry. You only have until tomorrow. See you all tomorrow night at the Berthana. DEBATE WITH DAVIS A piece of news was required. went nosing around as is the custon of reporters, for an undiscovered bit Finally, on my long and tediou search, arrived at 2 o'clock or Tuesday last in Mrs. Irwin's room There I found that the first blot debate of the year, between our neg r ative and the affirmative of Davis was about to take place. The question was, "Resolved, that chain store are detrimental to the best interests of the American people." William Alsup and Earl Reeve argued the negative side of the question with such ability that we were awarded the decision, and the judge, Professor Monson, debating leader of Weber college, said that he had never heard a better high school debate. He also commended our team on their ability to meet the main issues. Our debaters should be congratu¬lated and if the affirmative shows up as well today, we will be represented in the state contest. We wish our team the best of luck. ALICE HUGGINS. CONGRESS REPORT We don't wish to detract from the glory of Forum's victory by any sar¬castic remarks. On the other hand, we sincerely give our congratula¬tions to Forum and to her fine de¬baters, Doyle Jensen and Ellis Cragun, who defeated Congress Mon¬day night. After all, it is rather nice to congratulate your traditional foes once a year and it sort of keeps up the old spirit of friendly rivalry. RUTH AMES. NEWCOMB'S KNIGHTS Friday an extremely interesting debate was given on the subject, "Resolved, that the United States should cancel the debt owed us by France." The affirmative was up¬held by Zola Stevenson and Mar¬garet Scoville; the negative, by Lau¬ra Phillips and Mickey Wedell. By' a class vote the decision went to the negative. Following corrections by the critics, John Cawley and Marian Ensign, there was general discussion until the close of the meeting.
