THE REAL TEACHER "We recognize that education i3 t caught rather than taught. Teach¬ing there will be. It is the inevitable. The finest elements of education arise out of personal contacts. The e quality of the teacher is the decisive 1 and deciding factor in the develop- t ment sought in the education of the 1 generation. f "Diogenes has now changed his " quest to that of a search for a teach-] r er of serene, beautiful and spiritual c quality whose human interest and love of learning have given him an t unquenchable passion for carrying i the torch of light and life."—W. O. Thompson, president emeritus, Ohio i j State university. FIVE MILLION ENROLLED There are five million students en¬rolled in American high school. The enrollment since 1880 has practically p doubled every decade. Note these I enrollment figures and ponder: u 1880, 100,000; 1890, 200,000; 1900, c 500,000; 1910, 1,000,000; 1920, 2,000,000; 1930, 5,000,000. ( Some one exclaimed: "What an n achievement; What a challenge! y What a faith!". 1 t: In all histoiy there has not been t: a single achievement so inspiring as s the enrollment of this mighty army, p (coupled with the ever-broadening c P 'curriculum and improved methods 11: ,and facilities of instruction. c — Oct. 11, 1929 Ogden High School News - DENA LIAPIS o Editor Pro-Tem " The most clever people in the in world are quite sure what they ™ want and. being sure, do not hesi- ti tate to take it. Others pity them- w ! selves and protest against destiny. b —Earl Ludwig. tl" CARPE DIEM REPORT [st It doesn't take Carpe Diem long j to get started, and we always start j with a "bang." We now have 10 snappy members. They are Athleen Budge, president; Marge Anderson, vice president; Guinevere Hess, scretary; Charlene Scowcroft, reporter; Eleanor Stevens, Beth Peck, Maxine Fox, Bernice Larsen, _ l Ada Sailor, June Tribe. Our two I advisors are Mrs. Newcomb and E. Smith—so don't ask us whether \ we have a good club! r At our meeting last Wednesday 1 we discussed our stunt for the girls' s party. Just wait till you see us— we've something great, as usual, for Carpe Diem. Mr. Smith suggest¬ed a novel target for our archery, ] and after discussing two smaller \ items we adjourned. ( AT RANDOM Girls! Be sure to come to the Jamboree. If you haven't a big sis- ! i ter, come anyway. J Maxine, we're still wondering who knocked on the door of Dave's his¬tory class last week. Today is the day of the big game. We needn't worry about an¬nouncing the outcome for, of course, everyone will go to see it and to yell for Ogden. ASSEMBLY Assemblev was called to order , Thursday afternoon by President Stewart. John Allen, representing the se¬niors, presented Rowland Corry, j president of the juniors, with the customary annual gift, which was a very handsome boot. Announcements were made con- : cerning the dirty-cord contest, the j beard contest and the tryouts, 1 which were to take place last night. I The band played a march, which j was greatly enjoyed. It is certainly I improving. Elmer Broome favored j us with two beautiful songs. Grant Morse and Hugh Ford j made a clever announcement of the I j j game with Box Elder. Speeches about the game were given by ; Hugh Meyer, Doxey Stone, Bob Van Dyke and Les Meyer. They also j complimented the student body on the splendid turnout at the Davis i game. Leif Snyder then led the assembly i in song practice, which was followed ! by yell practice. OUR ALUMNAE Graduates of Ogden High are as active elsewhere as they were here. We learn from The Branding Iron, the Laramie newspaper, that Char¬lotte Anderson, who was graduated from Ogden High in the class of i '28 is editing the university column in the paper. She is but a sopho- j more, but handles her position very ! j capably. We also learn that Marion Whitton, a graduate of '29, has! been pledged to the Kapa Delta sorority of the university. We congratulate these girls and wish them j, more good luck. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear H. A. W.: ij In answer to your questions of i Wednesday evening, I should say i1 that, (1) I think it would be a!! pleasure to meet Mr. Merrill each morning. If you don't like to meet! him because you're late, try not to come late. (2) I advise you to ask Mr. Smith that question yourself. (3) A girl who is rowdy or com¬mon is not usually popular. Just be i your own sweet self, and you'll find that it works much better. (4) I think that most teachers give the students their study period, but perhaps those who don't do it be¬cause of poor preparation on the part of the class. If you are sure this is not the case, possibly you could remind the teacher in a polite way when the recitation period is over. j You are welcome, and call again. Aunt Jane. PHILOSOPHY OF CONDUCT Marshal Foch said: "This is my philosophy of action —Every time you've a task before you, examine it carefully and take exact measure of what is expected of you. Then make your plan, and in order to execute it properly create for yourself a method. Never improvise. The fundamental quali¬ties for the execution of a plan are, first, naturally, intelligence; then discernment and judgment, which enable one to recognize the best methods to execute the plan- then singleness of purpose; and', last ,the most essentional of all— stubborn will." Mon. Oct. 14, 1929 Ogden High School News (Dena Liapis, Editor Pro-tem.) I Each generation may profit by ' what has been done before, but we must all discover the big things in; ' life for ourselves.—Theodore F. Merseles. SORELY DEFEATED Indeed we were badly walloped by . Box Elder. Box Elder has a power - " ful fighting machine, and we take : off our hats to them. We congrat- t ulate them and predict that they: will go far — probably the state v Championship. We have lost two; ; games now, but we shall win all j remaining games. ! BANK DAY TOMORROW Students, be sure to bank tomor- j row. Our percentage is coming up, wonderfully. If you don't want to " bank for your own good, you might, : bank to bring up the class and j 1 school percentage. So bring your I pennies, nickles, etc., and iorm a good habit. , TO THE UNKNOWN TEACHER "I sing the praise of the Unknown Teacher. Great generals win cam¬paigns, but it is the Unknown Soldier who wins the war. Famous ed¬ucators plan new systems of peda¬gogy. but it is the Unknown Teacher who guides the young. He awakens ' sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and 1 steadies the unstable. He commum- , cates his own joy of learning and shares with boys and girls the besc ' treasures of his mind. He lights many candles which in later years will shine back to cheer him!" —Henry Van Dyke. THIRTY MILLION IN SCHOOL There will be, according to the ! research division of the National Educational association, thirty mil¬lion students in school in the United States during the year 1929-30. 24,000,000 of these in elementary j schools. 5,000,000 in high schools and ; 1,000,000 in colleges. Some army! j In round numbers this means that practically one in four of our I entire population are receiving the service of our schools and colleges. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION This year promises to be outstand¬ing in the history of our Girls' as- j sociation. Already we've completed ! our organization and are ready to 1 work for the girls of Ogden High. j Ada Sailor is our president, with Guinevere Hess, Shirley Halverson, and Iras Leavitt, vice president, secretary, and reporter, respectively. A ( plan whereby all the functions of c ii the association are divided into the j l four departments of entertainment, , vocational, personal efficiency, and c. social service has been made. This ; I plan provides for a senior girl as ' head of each department with a I junior girl for an assistant, and it 1 i was for the purpose of electing these officers that a meeting was held last 1 Thursday. Guinevere Hess and Gertrude Wadley were elected for the I entertainment committee which has charge of all the parties. Ida Mc-Gregor and Ruth Greaves will head the newly created vocational de¬partment which will assist the girls, 0 especially the commercial students, J in finding employment. The depart- V- ment of personal efficiency is de- 1" signed to help the girls progress, both physically and mentally. Under p its directions there will be hikes and h swimming as well as the formulating I of a girls' creed. May Harrison and j Helen Van Buren were elected to a this department. The last division j i is that of social service which Eleanor Stevens and Irene Gilmore j will direct. 0 Iras Leavitt, Reporter, j v THE GIRLS' JAMBOREE The girls' party was a huge sue- ii cess. It was even better than usual. It was handled in a wonderful man¬ner by our Girls' association offi- s cers, Ada, Guinevere, and Shirley. 0 Clever acts were staged by Tau Eta Nu, Amigos del Mundo, Carpe Diem, e Congress, Zeta Phi Xi, and Phi Lamba Tau. Ada and Guinevere, showed the girls an old-fashioned year book with the pictures of our teachers in it. Prizes for the best acts went to Carpe Diem and Zeta Phi Xi. 1 There was never such an array! a of clever costumes, which made it J n very hard to decide which was best.! e However, these girls were chosen as having the cleverest: Flora Goddard, who was dressed as a Bowery tough; Doris Reardon, who was j half white and half black; Marion Clark, whef was part old maid and g part football player; Maxine Malan, 5, who was dressed as a Bowery tough; . Dorothy Crawford, as a Gypsy; Vein Hinchcliff as a Turk; Eva Herscovit as a Bowery tough; Perry Ward, f- Virginia Hyde, Iras Leavitt, and t Beth Peck as babies: Charlene Scowcroft as an old-fashioned maid; Maxine Fox as a doll; Yvonne Pierce as a tramp; Florence Steckel as I Raggedy Ann; Ray Banford as Bo g b Peep; Josephine Gale as a golfer; d Gretta Higgins as a farmer; Lorna Evans, Venna Hogansen and Norine Bristol as old-fashioned maids; i a and Mary Probst as a Persian lady, j n So you can see what an assortment ! f there was to pick from. However, j s it was finally decided that the " prizes should go to Eva Hersovitz, who had the best fumiy costume, f and Ray Banford, who had the best ii pretty costume. It took some time i to decide between Ray and Mary 1P ; Probst. ; 0 Then popcorn and punch was : served, after which everyone went I 1 home. A good time was had by all. P. S—When Ada took her dog home her folks were happier to see the dog than they were to see her, Oct. 15, 1929 Ogden High School News LONE ORDER OF SQUIRRELS The Lone Order of Squirrels is a 1 new order, founded for the purpose of holding nut cracking contests. The following are the members who have been elected by the order. J Marian Allison, because she be- t lieves the four capes are: Cape of 1 Good Hope, sweet sixteen; cape Flat¬tery, twenty; Cape Lookout, twenty- t five; Cape Farewell, forty. J Herbert Stewart, because he thinks he can find out the horse- g power by lifting up the hood and counting the plugs. Les Mayer, because when the teacher asked him how many I's he t would use in the sentence, "I saw the ( girl get on the streetcar," he an- 2 i Ewered, "Both of 'em." A FRIEND God never loved me in so sweet a way before. 'Tis he alone who can such bless¬ings send, And when His love would new ex¬pression find, He brought thee to me and said: "Behold, a Friend!" —Evelyn Upton. OUR TYPING STUDENTS The beginners in Mr. Farnsworth's typing classes have started out in one big rush! Even before the first six weeks are over some of them know the keyboard thoroughly and are through or nearly through with the book called "Lizzie," which we all know so well. The advanced students also have a flying start. The honor role stu¬dents are on their thirtieth project. Last year the honor role students were only on their twenty-fifth , project in the first six weeks. j ! BONNEVILLE HIKING CLUB This club in Ogden, has been ' organized for'the purpose of giving out-door-loving people the chance to partake of the pleasure derived from hiking and parties of various sorts. The officers are: Reed Warnick, 3 president; W. E. Zuppann, vice pres- \ ident; Miss Scofield, secretary, and i F. C. Van Buren, treasurer. , Their first party of the season was . a hike through Toone canyon of the I Lost creek region, at the head of Weber canyon. , They have laid their plans for an¬other party, a beef steak fry, which will be held on October 25. Although they haven't as yet decided where it will take place, it will probably be held in a cabin in Ogden canyon. Everybody can join this club by securing a membership that costs one dollar yearly. If, however, you 1 have the desire to join one of their J excursions, just bring enough money to cover your expenses and have 1 the time of your life. NO SCHOOL FRIDAY Ogden city schools will close ' Thursday at noon to give teachers an opportunity to attend U. E. A. meetings in Salt Lake, Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday. PLAY LOGAN THURSDAY Ogden High plays Logan High Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Incidentally this will be the first game played on the newly sodded V field at Lorin Farr park. We pre- diet also that this will be one of j the interesting games of the season. " Logan walloped Ogden last year, and the Tigers are determined to return ] the compliment this year. a OUR BELIEF IN EDUCATION No nation in the world's history « has so devoutly believed in and so deeply pledged itself to free, uni-versal education. In this great ex¬periment America has marched in f advance of all other nations. To maintain the moral and spiritual a fiber of our people, to sustain the o skill required to use the tools which a great discoveries in science have w given us, to uphold our national ri ideals, we must not fail in the sup- t w port and constant improvement of c our school system. —Herbert Hoover. RIGHT TO PLAY a The decision of the Second district court in the case of Stanley vs. Ogden city board of education, re- garding the high school tennis court, tl sustains the high school's conten¬tion that we have a right to plaj hi the peaceful game of tennis on oui sj own grounds. in We trust that now the matter ha: st been settled, that the relations ex¬isting between high school students ' and our neighbors on the south may be more cordial and friendly. OGDEN VS. LOGAN. Students! Don't forget the great game Thursday at 2:30 o'clock. We will be playing our first game on the newly sodded field of Lorin Farr park. Everyone turn out and watch the best game of football ever played ' yet this season. So far we have played three fe games, winning over Provo with the score of 12-0, losing to Davis, 6-7, g: and also losing to Brigham, 6-30. s We still have three home games p to play. We play against Logan on t October 17, South Cache on October 25 and Weber on November 12. b Let's support our team better than si jve have ever done. t Oct. 16-1929 Ogden High School News Evelyn Upton, editor pro-tem. If we could only have outdoor classes under big shady trees! Other than the students supporting this idea we are sure of having at least one faculty member on our side. Miss Hubbard doesn't seem to be enjoying this wonderful Indian sum¬mer. That is, she doesn't enjoy it in her class room, or her hothouse as she would have it called. The room may be noted for its heat but it still has another record which has not been announced to the public at large. That is the rec¬ord for being the best soil, due to ; the sunny atmosphere, in which to ! plant the seeds of romance. So you see what might be one person's ad¬vantage is to another's disadvan¬tage. OUR MUSIC TEACHER. "The best music teacher in this region!" That is the reputation our teachers have. Mr. Robinson has been quoted again, but we do not necessarily need to quote him for actions sometimes count louder than words, as in this case. Mr. Hansen has not only proved to us within these first six weeks that he is an accomplished pianist but also a first rate music teacher! He has studied under special teach¬ers in Berkeley and Chicago and has received a diploma from the Chicago Music institution. Our opera this year will be taken from one of Victor Herbert's many operas. It will be on the order of "The Red Mill," by that famed author. Mr. Hansen is planning to com¬bine his several glee clubs into two big clubs when they prepare to en¬ter the state contests, a boys' glee club and a girls' glee club. And since he has had several honors brought home to the schools in which he has taught ve are not putting our hopes too high when we say, "We are going to bring more honors to Ogden High school when we enter the contest next spring." Mr. Hansen's big ambition is to make the Ogden High school band better and bigger than it eVer has been. The only way he is certain j of doing this is by having more j students enroll. Throw away your j arguments and join at. least one class in the music department! We all have interest in our school, so why not do our part regardless of .how small it is. LONE ORDER OF SQUIRRELS. The Nut Crackers have added a few more members to their order. Hugh Mayer because he thinks an optimist is a tourist who starts out with poor brakes, no spare, and a knock in the motor, and who wires 250 miles ahead for hotel reservations and because he thinks the most shocking thing in the world would be a war fought by electricity. Fred Wilson because he believes his mother is as great an artist as Joshua Reynold, who can change a smiling face to a frowning one with a single stroke of a brush, and because he thinks since the nations have agreed not to go to war, they are now building warships to give the sailors a ride. Bob Van Dyke because he wished he were a horsefly; a horsefly is always on the team. And because he is so steady if he were any Steadier he would stand still. Ogden High School News Oct. 17, 1929 EVELYN UPTON Editor Pro-tem LONE ORDER OF SQUIRRELS The Nut Crackers have added a few more members to their order. Joe Foley, because he thinks his great-grandfather killed the Dead sea, and because he believes they put oysters in oyster stew to Chris¬ten it. Jake Olish, because when his little brother asked for a dime to go and see a sea serpent he replied, "Vast- ,ful poy! Herels a magnifying glass: '
