I WANNAN O Wannan O at its last meeting pledged its entire effort to the stu- i dent body in the obtaining of the school radio. This is an excellent ] project and we sincerely hope that 1 its accomplishment may be realized i within the coming feW months. In 1 fulfillment of our purpose I Wannan ] O is delving into the realm of the "master minds of science." The scientific field is nothing more than ; the achievements and the works of great men. In our pursuit qf the subject we are given talks and dis-cussions of the "masters" by some member at each meeting. With Mr. Smith's broad knowledge and view¬point we have to a fair degree achieved the goal we have aimed for. However, we still have worlds to cover. More about us next week. REGARDING COUNCIL A plan has been proposed in the student body council that will re¬organize the personnel of the coun¬cil to the extent of giving better representation to the student body at large. The belief is that the stu-dent is not, as a whole, equally rep¬resented, and that the policies of the student body are in the hands of a minority in the school who are, however, a majority in the council. This minority is the club represen¬tation in council; The proposed plan will give one representative in coun¬cil to every fifty students. The club representatives will be done away with and the clubs will be repre¬sented by three students from the clubs at large. The proposed plan has its merits and its defects. Ideal¬ly the new student government would be the tool of the entire' stu- i dent body. It would cut out the running of council by a few. It would be broader in its scope in that the problems that would be consid¬ered would be the views of all the student body and not merely those of a few. However, the opposition j to the new plan has brought out a number of points worth considering. They point out that council is now and has been for the years that it has bgen under the present plan functioning to the height of desira-bility, and that to change the rep¬resentation is totally unnecessary and would defeat its own purpose. All this expounding of theories is, however, a matter of personal belief and the result remains to be seen. Another objection that is found to the proposed plan is that as propos¬ed at present it will go into effect on the first school day in 1930. This would in a measave give the stu¬dent body officers an entirely new council to break in a thing that is not easily done in a day. Also it is pointed out that were the plan to go into effect the club would not be fairly represented, since only three students would represent the clubs at large. This plan would necessitate the organizing of a con¬federation of clubs, an organization that the opposition points out is en¬tirely unnecessary, in that the coun¬cil is adequately prepared to take i care of all club activities and functions. In viewing the situation all sides of the question must be met fairly and squarely. No matter what are views let's all put our best efforts to secure the best student govern¬ment possible under the conditions that prevail at our school. THE EDITOR. HOLLY HOP COMING It own't be long now until the se¬niors will undertake to beat the ju¬niors at the game of making money. The holly hop is only a couple of weeks off. With a great deal of enthusiasm and pep the seniors at their meeting last week elected Doc Stone chairman of the dance. The [ Committees have be?n appointed and they assure us that we are in for a fine dance that only they know how to give. Your support is solicited, 5tudents, to make the holly hop a huge success. Tickets will be seventy-five cents for couples and fifty ;ents for stags. Make your dates sarly men, and turn out to see who Santa has gifts for this year. AMIGOS DEL MUNDO President Konold called the meet- ng to order. A committee was elect¬ed to furnish a program for our meetings. The committee elected for this month consists of Lois Robin¬son, chairman, Etxa Froerer, Edna Krey. If anyone knows of any sur¬plus entertainment please notify one 5f this group. A. D. M. has charge of high school's assembly Friday. December 13, 1929. (Friday the 13th is our lucky day). The girls on this com¬mittee are Elma Reynolds, Edith Konold and Marjorie Lindquist. Parties were discussed at this meeting. A special meeting is to be called Monday to hear the report from the committee composed of Margarite Sumners, Myrle Herbert and Edith Konold. Everyone knows that when Amigos del Mundo at¬tempts anything it will be done right, so you know what a gay time we have when we sponsor a party. LOIS ROBINSON, Reporter. CARPE DIEM REPORT The meeting of December 4 was called to order by President Budge. The roll was called and the minutes were read and approved. The program committee reported the countries we were to study each meeting in the future. The re-port was accepted by a motion. We then went up to Mrs. New- comb's room where our pledges gave up a real program. Yvonne Pierce, representing Beth Peck gave us a vocal solo. Virginia Hyde, representing Charline Scowcroft, played a piano solo. Mildred Drake, as Athleen Budge, read for us. Elaine Wilcox, and Virginia Hyde representing Iras Leavitt and Guinevere Hess, played a duet on the piano. Ruth Greaves acted as the main announcer. Dorothea Healy then gave a most interesting talk on the religion of Siam. Then, after we had discussed our Christmas party, and a commit¬tee had been appointed to draw up the plans for th affair, we ad¬journed. CHARLENE SCOWCROFT, Reporter. PHI LAMBDA TAU Phi Lambda held its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon. Since President Van Dyke was absent, Vice President Cave took charg and now we know just how capable our vice president is. The main discussion was on some of the parties we are going to have in the future. The most outstanding is a bob-sleigh party. We have ordered some snow, Madeline Malan is going to furnish the "bobs" and Wanda Weeble and Marion Alison has offered to be horses, so we think it's going to be quite a party. PATRONS, ATTENTION Mrs. Irwin has applications of girls for work after school or car¬ing for children in the evening. Pa¬trons desiring such helps may call at the high school for information. WAKEFIELD MEMORIAL Ogden high was the first school to make a report on the "Wakefield memorial." A contribution of $16.17 was made yesterday. f. A ROAD BY THE POPLARS A dusty brown road winds pn. J ticingly among groups of tall stately trees, dull, beautifully shaded green, and seemingly merges, in the far distance into the transparent blue and fluffy white of the cloudy sky beyond. The trees cast soft shad¬ows upon the vari-colored grasses which grow in their friendly shade and even upon the road itself. It must be autumn for the leaves and the grasses are shaded yellow and dull bronze, and the whole color school is of the autumn tint. The air is clear and all the colors are emphasized, although not brightened by the intense sunlight. The light comes from the right of the picture and though the sun can not be seen, it can be imagined, shining ' gloriously, just beyond the range \) of vision. The picture which hangs in room 203 was painted by Alma B. Wright. Mr. Wright, instructor of art at L. D. S. university, portrait painter and landscapist. is one of Utah's famous painters although he first won suc- cess abroad. His work was first ex¬hibited in Paris at the Salon of 1913 and in 1914 it was shown here in America at the St. Louis exposition. In 1904 he won the annual state prize, and in 1905 he took the state medal of honor. Although he has made a thorough study of anatomy and structural drawing his most pro¬found interest is in portraiture and he seems to care more for form than for tonal qualities. DOROTHY LEAVITT. Local Teams Open Cage Play Tonight Ogden-Weber Schedule Practice Games For Hoop Athletes O GDEN HIGH and Weber High courtiers swing into action this evening in their initial games of the 1929-30 season. The Tigers, division champions in 1929, face a local amateur aggrega¬tion, Jack's Cleaners. Weber High journeys to Morgan for a contest with Wes Schaub's lioopsters. On Saturday night Morgan will meet Weber in a return contest on the Warrior court. L. Mayer and Pantone appear to be the only members of the cham¬pionship Ogden squad that will see action this coming season. Doxey Stone, captain and colorful guard, is still nursing a knee injury suffered in football and may be out of the lineup for the entire year . The Tigers are confronted with opening their season in January without a single regular. At Weber High prospects are brighter than they have ever been. Coach Dick Thorne has a flock of fine performers. In fast, the entire Warrior first string of last year is back in harness ready for a spir¬ited year. Van Kampen, Barker, Hunter, McEntire, Chandler, Lindsey and Taylor are the veterans of the past season who are in togs again. Both Dick Thorne and Dick Kapple are dickering for practice games in various parts of the state. It is possible that the Tigers may play two preliminary games to the Aggie-Wyoming and Cougar-Wyo-ming contests here this month.
