Ogden High School News Nov. 13, 1929 MAURINE ISRAELS ON Editor Pro Tem EAST AND WEST By mere chance, the high school had two letters from graduates yesterday, one from James Noblitt, who is attending the University of Missouri, and one from Ruth Goss, who is entering the University of California. Jim says he's getting by all right. The university doesn't send report cards at the end of the six weeks' period, but he had the term habit and asked the profsesor for his grades. He received good grades. James says in his charac¬teristic way: "They grade here: E best, S worse, M worst, I pretty near too bad, and F good bye." He concluded: "I am studying hard (believe it or not) and en¬joying it." Miss Goss has some fears about being accepted by the university, but her friends who know her and her record have no doubt about her be¬ing accepted. Ruth concludes, "best wishes to Ogden High and Ogden students al¬ways." WANTED—A RADIO SET Ogden High wants a radio receiv¬ing set and a public address sys¬tem. This will cost considerable money but it will be worth a very great deal to the school. We need to get the Damrosch and other mu¬sical programs, as well as other! educational broadcasts that are daily becoming available. This is a radio age and it will only be a short time until every public school will be equipped with a good radio re¬ceiving set and a public address sys¬tem. Ogden High doesn't want to drag along at the tail end of the j processtion but at the head, and consequently feels that the time is ripe for this great modern improve¬ment. Will someone please step forward and tell us how to raise a little money for this enterprise? A BIG DAY j The American Legion of Ogden is making Armistice day bigger and better every year. In Joining with Ogden's two great high schools and featuring a big football contest each Armistice day, the Legion has hit upon a big idea that will gather strength and importance at the re¬turn of each Armistice day. The school teams are now evenly matched and the rivalry will be¬come keener as time passes. Had it not been for the inclement weath- 1 er on Monday there would have been a record crowd. As it was, there was a very satisfactory at¬tendance and everyone present was amply repaid for the discomfort en¬dured. With a pleasant day, as most Armistice days are bound to be, the annual contest will be here¬after one of the big events of the year—an event in which al lof Og¬den people will be glad to par-ticipate. Great, great, is Armistice day. The law of worthy life Is funda- mentally the law of strife. It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.— Theodore Roosevelt. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Schofield informs Is that the , girls' gym classes are as active as : ever before. Last week the girls played some of their own original ! games and had quite an amusing __variety. (We bet they did!) The dancing classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday. More anon. WHICH IS WHAT?

ART COLLECTION Students, our art collection in the 1 halls is going visiting for a few weeks, so don't get excited if youVg find it missing some morning. Thir¬teen instructors have asked to bor¬row pictures in order to give the students a chance to get acquaint¬ed with them. They will each have the opportunity of having a differ-ent picture every few days. At last our Hall of Fame will be famous. G. A. President Ada Sailor presided over the Girls' association meeting Tues¬day morning. The program was furnished by the vocational department with Chairman Ida Mae McGregor in charge. An inspiring speech by O. J. Stilwell was given on "The Girl Who E..iters Business As a Voca¬tion." A trio composed of Marion Pingree, Yvonne Pierce and Ruth Greaves entertained the group with an interesting selection, "The Big Brown Bear." Audrey Clayton ren¬dered a violin solo. Guenevere Hess, June Tribe, Ida Mae McGreg¬or, Mae Harrison and Madeline Malan, chairmen of the entertain¬ment, social service, vocational, per¬sonal efficiency and art depart¬ments, made announcements ex¬plaining their departments. LIBRARY How seldom it is that a teacher or student can find readily a selec¬tion suitable for some special occa-sion such as Thanksgiving day or Christmas.

High School News (Maurine Israelson, Editor Pro-tem) "The leaders in action or thought; are not magicians, but steady, per¬sistent workers."—Theodore N. Vail EUREKA! At last after a prolonged searcl the key to the note box has beei found! We wish to apologize to th contributors for not being able t publish their offerings, but thej were so ancient that they woulc have undoubtedly been very appro¬priate for a column entitled "Long Long Ago." So drop any bit of news, origina] or otherwise, into the little box arid we assure you that all suitable ma¬terial will be published. WORDS AND MUSIC One of our classmates writes the following: I think it would be a good idea to print a song or yell each night in the O. H. S. news. By doing this the students who are unfamiliar with the songs and yells will have an opportunity to learn them. It will also help the parents and other sport fans who would like to yell at the games. How's this for a new song? Cheer, boys, cheer! For Ogden has the ball, great hardships, hunger and cold. He was also compelled to labor in the mines of Siberia. Unfortunately the period ended and he was unable to finish his talk, which was indeed very inter-esting, as he gave details of the war which one does not usually learn in a written account.—Evelyn Hall. LEST YOU FORGET Reporters must hand in their club reports the day following the club meeting or they won't be put in un¬til the following week. No excep¬tions are made. PHI LAMBDA TAU Bang! Crack! Crack! Bang! This is Lambda Tau speaking from the rifle range. Look closely and you will see several girls lined up shooting away at the targets. Look still more closely and you will see how they are ruining the bull's eye. Oh, yes, they're getting quite ex- 1 pert. They're ready to compete with ; the boys on the rifle team any day 1 now. When they get too good for j targets they are going to go hunt-ing rabbits and maybe deer (not dear!) Oh, it's a lotta' fun to be a sharp shooter.—Phyllis Fredrickson. B NATURAL i Yes, the girls' chorus has formed a new club, which we call the B Pass it fast, and do not let It fall.' i For when they meet our boys, they'll r have no chance at all! c There'll be a hot time in the old 1 town tonight! i (Tune—"There'll Be a Hot Time i in the Old Town Tonight.") c TO THE GIRLS OF OGDEN HIGH i A contest is being sponsored by j the Girls' association to obtain a f creed for the girls of Ogden High. ] Three prizes will be given for three i best creeds. Five dollars for the first best, three dollars for the sec- and best, and two for the third best. Rules regarding the contest: Any girl in Ogden High is el¬igible to compete.

Finished creeds must be handed to class secretary py November 27. Examples of creeds may be found in the book, "On Being a Girl."—Mae Harrison. QUESTION? "Biff, whack, clear the track, for we're from Ogden High!" Like an engine gathering momentum with each piston stroke, the junior class is increasing its enthusiasm for each successive scsool project. As a ma¬jor outgrowth of this zealousness the first junior activity of the sea¬son is glowing like a beacon on the horizon. A gala affair is impend¬ing with an understanding of a joy¬ful occasion. Pleasure-seekers are looking forward, as the time draws nearer, in expectation of a success¬ful entertainment. What is it? A Thanksgiving dance at the Ber- thana! Every one is invited with the assurance given of a hilarious evening.—Doyle Jensen. AN INTERESTING VISITOR Thursday morning the students of W. Smith's physiology class en¬joyed a rather unusual talk given by J. Meierzedt. He was here to in- terview Mr. Smith concerning the matter of microscopes as he repre¬sents the E. Leitz Incorporation of New York, a firm which handles j German instruments. ' During the course of the interview Mr. Smith learned that Mr. Meier¬zedt, who is a German, took a very active part in the World war. Due to the fact that Armistice day has just passed, Mr. Meierzedt consented to give us an account of his expe¬riences as a soldier. Mr. Meierzedt was in the Aus¬trian army and fought against Rus¬sia on the Russian front. Late in the fall he and about a thousand of his comrades were taken prisoners by the Russians. During his life as a prisoner he was forced to endure Natural. Our purpose is to learn more about the music masters, both of today and of yesterday, and we have some extremely competent of¬ficers in the persons of Dorothy Knowlden, president; Rachel Meadoway, vice president, and Eva Herscovitz, secretary-treasurer. Through¬out the year we have planned a se¬ries of programs, consisting of re¬ports of the lives and works of truly great composers and vocal or instru¬mental artists. We expect to dc things in a big way now, and you must really see our costumes to ap¬preciate them. Watch for the E Natural club and see it advance !- Helen McKay, Reporter. AMIGO DEL MUNDO Our regular weekly meeting wa: called to order by President Edith Knold. We took our entire pro gram from the membership. Bea that if you can. Althea Bell ac companied by Elma Reynolds sani two solos for our entertainment. Mr. Robins, who has visited real diam ond mines, gave a very interestin talk, explaining them. So girls, i you want to know whether or nc your diamond is genuine, ask Mr. Robins. He already has a waitin list. Lois Robinson gave a saxc phone solo accompanied by our wel] liked and talented music teache Mr. Hanson. If you see several girls paradir up and down the halls with artist: callv painted signs hanging arour their necks you will know that A. D. M. is initiating some more ne\ members. This initiation will read its climax Friday night. Don't yoi feel sorry for the goats—Lois Rob inson, Reporter. RADIO TALK There is developing a good deal o enthusiasm at the high school fo the installation of a first-class ra dio receiving set with a loud speak er in each room. A committee tha has ,been working on the proposi tion for some time recommendei on Thursday that the installation o a radio be the one big objective of the year and that §11 function I of the school be conducted for tha single purpose. That some specia features be planned especially fo: the purpose of reaching the objec tive. The recommendation is heart ily indorsed and we can almost hea: the radio now. RELIABILITY The dependability of the R. O. T. C. boys is demonstrated in that o: 280 in the high school unit, 265 weri present at the Armistice day parade Of those absent reports from par ents indicate that nearly every on was absent with good and suffi cient cause. The school appreciate: the loyalty and fine spirit of th boys. INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENT No one doubts that one's environ¬ment has much to do wtih his con- duct and character. A beautifu home well furnished, neat, orderly says all the time to its occupants "For ladies and gentlemen." This thought is aroused in oui minds at this time by the estab¬lishment recently of a confectioners store at the corner of Twenty-fifth street and Monroe avenue. This new store is elegantly furnished neat, orderly, pleasing, inviting. II is a place of beauty and bespeaks certain refinement. We welcome it to our neighbor¬hood because we feel that it will nol be a "speak-easy", not a "loafing place," not a "hang-out" for idlers but rather a place where ladies and gentlemen will be served confec¬tions, etc., in a most acceptable nanner.

'r HALL OF FAME ' We nominate: Athleen Budge, because she in- , vented the phrase, "I'll never tell." f Because she intends tcTtoe an old t. maid—(don't let this discourage you, boys!) y Because she lives to have her first ! initial written all over her report csxds. Because the Second battalion ' thinks it's mighty lucky to have her e as its sponsor. And—Charles Hetzel because he d knows his Latin (for Miss Chesney's benefit).

The public is invited. BETA ZETA TAU Friday night we had our first par¬ty at Mariam Peterson's. The pur- i pose of this party was to get ac-quainted. Did we?- Well, I should say! We know more about each other than we know about ourselves. We played many games. Did we have fun? We needn't tell you. —Florence Dawson. COUNCIL Regular council was called to or¬der.
