THE ROAD TO THE HILLS Students, do you know your own neighborhood? Do you know the different spots of beauty that sur-round you? If you have not yet no- i ticed the picture in Mr. Peterson's room, you have missed much, in¬deed. But even if you are asleep at least give thanks and words of ap¬preciation to those who stay awake trying to show you what vou have missed Are you going to answer tne call of the bugle or are you go¬ing to be a sluffer? It is said that all the world loves a lover. Let us make this state¬ment truthful by giving our whole¬hearted support to one of the great¬est and yet little-noticed men of our community, Mr. Stewart, a lov¬er of nature. This love for nature and especially for the desert, in¬spired Mr. Stewart to paint the picture called "The Road to the Hills." A small, yellow, dusty, track- worn road leads toward the nearby hills which are covered with reddish sand and here and there a little bit of thicket may be seen along the , road and also on the hills. At the right, a long, narrow, straw-covered stable is waiting for its inhabitants' return, and the light-blue heaven decorated by several white balls of clouds is innocently looking down upon the scene. The artist, Mr. LeConte Stewart, was born in the southern part of the state of Utah and has received his education in this and neighbor¬ing states. Later he went to the east to continue his studies. After his return he worked on the mural decorations in the L. D. S. temple. Students! Wake up, come into Mr. Peterson's room and see that of which we are proud. We heart¬ily regret thac this pride shall last only six weeks.—Erika Seydel. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Would you please tell me, if pos¬sible in conversation form, the con¬ventional form to follow when ask-ing the little lady to go to the school play. I am sure a good many boys in school would appreciate the courtesy. Thanks you, ROMEO. Dear Romeo: In answer to your interesting note, I would suggest that you men¬tion the play in a casual conversa¬tion. Indirectly, if possible, find out whether the fair one has made previous arrangements. If not, your chance is golden. Immediately ask if you might be honored by escort¬ing her to the play; display reserv-ed tickets and remember "A faint I heart ne'er won a fair lady." I —Aunt Jane. Ogden High School News Dec. 4-1929 n Ben Cartwright, Editor Pro Tem. 3. Lucille Bunot, Typist, "THE POOR NUT." ' It won't be long now until the play comes off. Tomorrow night at 8:15 the curtain rises on the first t scene of "The Poor Nut." By the 3 time the curtain drops you will be satisfied that your time was well spent. In the last act of the play, col¬lege fraternity life is brought out. Yvonne Pierce as Betty, Beth Peck as Peggy, Mildred Drake as Helen and Andrew Burnetti as a freshman r certainly show that they will know how to act when they get to college. We all know that these girls . can act like high school students to perfection, but wait until you ; see them as coeds. You all know Andrew? Well, if you don't just look for the boy in school that makes Dee Bramwell look like a big fellow. Complimentary tickets are being given to our guests as usual but this year we are trying something new. All tickets must be exchanged for reserved seats at high school before Thursday noon. In this way there will be no vacant seats on ac¬count of complimentary seats. CHANGE PROPOSED. Proposed amendment to the Ogden High school constitution; Article 5, Section 1.

Meeting was then adjourned—R. M. Mr. Henley, a representative of the American Banking association, spoke to Mr. Coray's sixth period class on the subject of finances. A series of similar talks are being given to all high school and junior high students throughout the city. FORUM. It won't be long now until the students will see the Forum assem¬bly. Boy! what an assembly it will be. Last night Fcrum dissolved into a committee of the whole to fur- j ther discuss our plans for our as-sembly. The ideas flew fast and furious, and as a result we're going to present the year's best assembly. CONGRESS. Due to the unexpected absence of the expected speaker, it was moved, seconded, and passed that the order of the day be an extemporaneous debate on "Resolved: That cuckoo- clocks should be abolished." Marion Ensign and Ruth Aimes volunteered to uphold the affirmative, and Ada Sailor and Virginia True the nega¬tive. It was a snappy debate, the decision going to the affirmative. After a discussion on the state question for debate, and on the mat¬ter of pins, Congress adjourned. RADIO. The committee is still active in securing a school radio. Represen¬tatives of various companies are ex-plaining what they have to offer, and it is not unlikely that equip¬ment will be secured before Christ-mas. Messrs. Wangsaard and Corey are completing the wiring job, and Mr. Connell is arranging brackets for loud speakers which will be purchased soon. THE STORM. The clouds swooped down and their blackness now darkened the sky. The dull purple cast of the mountain peaks was broken by lightning's jagged fingers. The earth took on an air of brooding as the shrieking wind rushed through the trees, groaning under its strength, and sent leaves scudding , over the soggy ground. The grass I in the meadow swished back and forth in frenzy. The huddled form of a man groped its way along the, j fence as the swirling wind whipped S rain against him. The grumbling and splitting of the storm cloaked the earth in an air of confusion I and unrest as Nature continued her uncanny work. This is the description of the pic¬ture, "The Storm," which hangs in Mrs. Franke's room. It is the work of Beauregard. Spencer Stone Gets Ogden Board Post OGDEN, Dec. 4.—Spencer Stone, first of three candidates who sought election to the Ogden City school board from the Third municipal ward, was elected at an elec¬tion held Wednesday.

High School News Henry Aiken, editor-in-chief is Dena Liapas, assistant editor d The ear that hearkeneth to the t] reproof of life abideth among the ii wise. —Proverbs. "THE POOR NUT" The long awaited appearance of e "The Poor Nut" has arrived. He and his colleagues will entertain you - tonisrt at the Weber High auditorium. The cast is primed for one i] of the biggest things that Ogden High ha done in the line of school " plays Under the capable direction of Miss Stohl we are assured of the highest kind of entertainment. Come on, gang, let's give the cast a c treat and turn out en masse to see C whemer or not' Richard's as crazy ii as he is cracked up to be. s BASKETBALL In answer to the call for experts with the basketball, Coach Kapple I can well be pleased 'with his pros- r pects fox retaining the divisional J championship this year. Under the f leadership of Doxey Stone we may g well anticipate the advent of an- 1 other season of victories on the s maple.

Henry Aiken and Dena Liapas were elected edi¬tor and assistant editor respectively, ] The staff will be chosen during the ] ensuing week; we would appreciate anyone who nas any ability with a ' pen to make it known to the editor. ' Any contributions are urged to be sent in. Put them in the notes box on the east bulletin board. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Marg Anderson—Marg is known ! for saying "I owe my popularity to 1 the fact that I always aim to please my oublic." Because she is "the best little sport in the world," ac-cording to the belief of the captain of company F. Because Washing¬ton had red hair, too. Beecher McConnell — Because Beech believes in his own ideas, whetner Ben does or not. Because his greatness is not limited to ideas alone. Because his name indicates : his thaiacter Because if he were president he would reduce income taxes. Joe Foley—Because in life it's gameness that counts. Because Joe is an expert when it comes to read-ing Latin (believe this or not). Be¬cause he is a junior, and anything that has the label of junior on it is great stuff in our eyes (the jun¬iors made money on their turkey trot and had their report of it in on time). Because Joe knows when to adjourn. A SERMON One thing Ogden High is in dire need of is interest in student body affairs This at the present time is in need of a prod to put the stu¬dent enthusiasm at par. In order that the radio which we hope to install may be a realization instead of a dream we, the student body, must kindle our school spirit and use all tne pep with which we are endowed to secure it. However, not only must interest be taken in this. Stuaent body problems, the actions of council, etc , all should merit your interest. Let's be wide-awake stu¬dents, and make Ogden High the best possible. QUARTERLY The Quarterly staff may certainly consider their first edition a success. Ogden High is much delighted with it, and is surely awake to its de¬sirability. Here's to the Quarterly. COUNCIL Council was called to order with President Stewart presiding.
