Ogden High School Notes May 26, 1931 Elpha Morse, Editor Pro Tem. Through want of a thing does its worth redouble. Through hunger's pangs does the feast content, And only the heart that has har¬bored trouble Can fully rejoice when joy is sent. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. TO SENIORS It seems that everyone is sympa¬thizing with our well-beloved sen¬iors, and the seniors are moping and moaning with the "senior's blues." People don't seem to realize how lucky they are. They are setting out on a great adventure through which their success or failure will become apparent. How disappointing it would be to not graduate after twelve precious years of diligently striving toward that goal. Think of the despair of doting parents. Im¬agine the chagrin of the student. If one looks at the situation like this it is much easier to leave the dear old alma mater. Nevertheless, sen¬iors, the class of '32 will have to "go some" to equal the splendid work, along all lines, of the class of '31. Here's to success and happi¬ness in your chosen field. May all your dreams come true. ELECTION RESULTS A teeming, bubbling mass of surging humans clamored for the news. With slow deliberation our wor-thy president wrote out the names of the offices that so many vain hearts hoped to capture. Then more slowly than ever Mr. Corry's chalk made the common letter in both the contestants for president names—R. Then at last and at length he wrote down the full name. Roars, shouts and gleeful gasps rang out from the excited mob. Russell Stone, president-elect; Miss Elaine Evans, vice president and last, but not least, Earl Reeve as secretary. Congratu¬lations and best wishes to these fine officers. We only have one regret—: that we could not have two presi¬dents and so on. The defeated candidates are worthy of much praise for the sportsmanship they showed. Next year can't help but be a huge success with such splen¬did officers. And again, congratu-lations to the winners of such great honors: INTRODUCING MR. BRADFORD We have been very fortunate the last few days in having with us one of the nineteen best musical in-structors in the country. He is a man of great accomplishment. Not only was lie at the head of music in the American troops during the war, but he has studied under ten of the most noteworthy vocal in-structors in the United States. Mr. Bradford has been assisting Mr. Hansen in glee club instruction, and the lucky members of the music de¬partment who have been associated with him have been greatly bene¬fited. We appreciate the honor of having such a musician with us for we realize that after thirty years of training he is indeed an artist. THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS And as I walked through the wil¬derness of this world I came upon an insurmountable peak which was known as the Mountain of Lost Am¬bitions but which some called Mount Ogden. Thereon at its base I laid me down to rest before I should try to mount so formidable a peak, and I did see a great par¬ty of people who were also coming to mount this great mountain. Some said that they were on a geology hike which was led by a Mr. Neverget Tired Hiker, but he was also called Mr. Oberhansly. Whereupon I decided that I would go with their in trying to scale the Mountain oJ Lost Ambitions so that I did anc we did go upon our way. And as we were scaling this ter¬rible mountain many people did cry out in their distress for water which there was only a little of which was in bottles which were carried. Wherefore one good dame did cry out ever for more and more until she had consumed two bottles full, which was bad, for she did ever need more before she could go a very great distance. Her name was Miss Needmore Drinkwater, though some .difL-Call her Virginia Peterson.
