Ogden High School News Mon. Dec. 9-1929 "Friendship is Love without his wings."—Byron. "WE 13" Thursday, "We" welcomed for the first time our seven new junior pledges, completing our enrollment , of thirteen seniors and thirteen ju¬niors. To introduce to them into . our most cherished tradition, democracy, we elected our officers for the ensuing six weeks. Mr. Tribe was elected, Mr. Morse and Mr. Neb¬eker both being left holding the sacks. Mr. Jensen received the post ] of vice chairman without much dif- . ficulty. In a like manner Mr. Cawley was chosen secretary. In order : to keep a balance of power between the sages and the babies one of our most august members was elect¬ed sergeant-at-arms, in the person of Mr. Bramwell. Under the new officers our flight will, we hope, attain even greater altitudes than have already been reached. ZETA PHI XI Well, how perfectly adorable. Clever, aren't you? Oh, darling, (etc., etc., on to infinity). Such are some of the expressions of appar¬ent joy which might have been heard by a person standing just school. The occasion was the dis¬cussion regarding the new pins Zeta Phi Xi girls will soon be wear¬ing. If you wonder why all the ex¬clamation, think of the way Zeta Phi usually does things and then use your imagination, side of room 216 Wednesday after JEANETTE PARRY, Reporter. OUR JUNIOR CONTEMPORARIES The Washington Pilot which was sent up to the high school the oth¬er day was read and we assure them that they have a paper at the southern junior that merits highest com¬ment. The cover is especially at¬tractive, and your optimistic spirit will carry you far, Washington. The Blue and Gold, published by the students of Central junior, has taken on a real newspaper aspect. We like your editorials, Central, and wish you luck in the next issue. ON! OGDEN, ON! The world moves on hope. Such was the spirit of the splendid talk that Mr. DeVine gave us Friday in assembly. Let us recall the excellent advice that was given to the students in his speech. We, the citizens of Ogden's tomorrow, are the means to the end of a new high school which is so needed to give to the young men and women of this city the proper type of education. Our in¬adequate facilities can only be cor¬rectly pointed out to our elders by us, the people the enterprise con¬cerns most. It is for us, the stu-dents of Ogden high, to carry home the message of our needs. Promises are visionary; action is material. Mr. DeVine said that to lower taxes merely for the sake of a so- called economy is unwise and in the long run extravagant. Ogden, he states, is like the father who bought lor his growing son on his twelfth birthday a new suit of clothes, pay¬ing for it twenty dollars, and who bought his son a new suit of clothes when he reached his twenty-first birthday, expecting to pay only the same twenty dollars but not making allowance for the growth that his son has undergone. The money that is spent for education of high school students today was adequate twenty years ago when Ogden was a city of twenty-five thousand in¬habitants; but the time is passed when this city can take care of fifty thousand people on taxes that can only run a town half as big. If the taxes of this city were raised one mill on every dollar of assessed property a surplus would be brought in the city treasury amounting to the sum of $60,000. Of course, other city projects would claim a portion of this fund, but by leaving this levy on Ogden property for five years I Ogden could start building a school in the very near future and have it paid for completely including equip¬ment in the five years time. This I project would cost the elders of the city approximately ten dollars a year on property valued at $10,000. This encouraging comment by Mr. DeVine should reach every home. 1 Let a "new high school" be the by- c word of Ogden and our dreams may soon be realizations. THE EDITOR. DON'T FORGET HOP Only about two weeks, students, r until the holly hop will be here. Our 0 radio fund was raised considerably c by the turkey trot. Let's keep the g good work up and all turn out to l one of Ogden high's traditionally r best dances. The seniors are al- t ready making preparations to show & you one of the best dances that we 11 have ever given. Tickets will be on sale soon. They will be seventy- five cents a couple or fifty cents for 1 stags. We are cutting down onover- 6 head this year "5 that our profit ] will be as large as possible. The1 usual festive programs will be done away with, but refreshments will be ; served as usual. Don't forget the date, December 20. ASSEMBLY After not having an assembly for a couple of weeks, it seemed rather good to be back in our exclusive as¬sembly hall again. After announcements had been made concerning pictures for the year book, the holly hop and the Weber county high school play, the band played the overture, "The Mas¬ter Builder." Mr. Hansen certain¬ly has the band in fine shape and we congratulate him and the mem¬bers on their splendid progress. Nettie Newman then played two beautiful numbers, "Roses of Piccardy," and ' Kiss Me Again" on her I ' violin. The speaker of the day was James H. DeVine, His topic was "Taxa¬tion." We certainly enjoy hearing Mr. DeVine, because he always has something inspiring to tell us. The male quartet, consisting of Frank Grasteit, Walton Foulger, Max Clark and Elmer Broome made its first appearance, and sang "Un¬til the Dawn." We hope to hear from it again soon. - HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame: Eleanor Stevens: Because she knows the phone numbers of ev¬ery boy in Dale Reade's band. Be¬cause she is a nut specialist. Be¬cause she didn't get her smile from using Listerine tooth paste. Because she is Eleanor. Ben Cartwright: Because the coach was certainly one tough hombre. Because he believes in "life, liberty and pursuit of hap- 1 piness." Because he is Beecher MacConnell's political advisor. Hod Nebeker: Because when he went absent from drill the other morning the awkward squad sang, "I Can't Do Without You." Because Hod wants to be "president." Be¬cause he is beating Mrs. Irwin out of a job. Because cream puffs are his favorite kind of soup.

HOP TWELVE DAYS AWAY Only twelve days more to make that date for the Holly Hop, men. You had better do it today before it is too late. Let's make old Santa smile when he looks into his book of appropriations to see how much money he can allow the high school for the new radio. A big time is assured to all who attend. Infor-mality is the thing. Don't be for¬mal at this dance; save it for the later dances." And if you don't be¬lieve that the seniors can do things in as big a way as the juniors, come f and be convinced. Tickets are the same as at the Turkey Trot, 75 cents per couple, or 50 cents for stags; they will be on sale in the near future. THE POOR NUT What is this thing called "in- feriority complex"? Can it be over- Ch: come? tea Can it? And how!

Josephine Schain is secretary and Raymond B. Fosdick is treasurer. eve to Weber County High school to see for how Margy helped Jack overcome his inferiority complex. , And were they satisfied? One glance at the faces of the au- " dience and the question was an- swered. Th BIT OF PHILOSOPHY This choice bit of literature was one of the best contributions we have received: I t We live in deeds, .not years; in Q thoughts, not breaths; As In feelings, not in figures on a dial. Be We should count time by heart- Fr( throbs. He most lives wi Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. Life's but a means unto an end; — that end Beginning, mean, and end to all things—God. —Philip Bailey. CHATTER AND CHAFF A question that is paramount in the minds of the students is "Will Santa Claus have a present for me — at the Holly Hop? Hod Nebeker has promised the big co picture that he got free with his it: ! two dozen small pictures to at least o: ' six different girl friends. Better have your picture in the paper, Hod. It might save a lot of disap¬pointment and also save you some in money. , , -pi Miss Irvine, last year's dramatic art teacher, was a witness of the tl_ "Poor Nut" last Friday night. We , wonder if the play brought back fond memories of a year ago when r the student body was so delightful- V? ly entertained by the "Patsy." u CONCERNING LOCKERS A great deal of discomfort and t] unnecessary delay have been caused u : during the past week by tne very it . poor practical joking of a few near- t, sighted fellows. The combinations r . of locks, students, should be en- t i tirely broken each time you lock \ ; your locker. In this way the Chang- c! ing around of locks on lockers and a ; the stealing of locks can be avoid- i ed. Give your dial an extra twist 1 11 when you close your lock. This pre- . I vents the turning of the dial back j to the number which will open your \ : lock. COMMENT r A marked improvement was , , shown in the assembly of last week, J students. Let's keep up the good , work. It is totally unnecessary to ; t make the faculty and the student ; s body officers policemen. A reason- ! able amount of pep is expected and ; desired; however, it should always " be under control. Make your ap¬plause sincere, short and to the point. If encores are not being giv¬en do not be insistent. You will like them a whole lot better if the numbers are less frequent. Give Herby our best support and make our already many diificulties as few as possible.—The Editor. WAITING FOR RADIO Instructors Ernest Wangsgard r and Claude Coray have completed the wiring for the installation of it the radio, phonograph and public j address system. We are assured that the installation will be made some time during the present month e and will be in good working Order a when we return to school in January All that will remain will be a to get busy and raise the money to It pay for it. h We understand that Davis High school has given orders to Radio [S Sales and Engineering corporation for the installation of an up-to-the- minute system. BASKETBALL Mr.Kapple reports a fine field out 'e for basketball this season. There e are about 30 trying out at present, ir but the number will oe cut down to e ; about 20 tonight. There have been j six practice games arranged to take pl:.ce in the near future, and some 1 of these will be played during the bo Christmas holidays. The Ogden ca team carried away divisional honors last year, and, although only one a letter man has returned to the m team,we still have a fine chance to win as much, if not more, in the i tilts this year. Practice games are sc to be played with East High, West jr High, Bingham High, Morgan High, a and the L. D. S. High. We expect pc even greater support than ever be¬fore given to our team.—L. S. W TO THINK ABOUT Matter and its movement are the ultimate factors to which all things L; may be traced, while they them¬selves can be traced no further. O They are the great X and Y, whose si eternal and illimitable process con¬stitutes the universe.—Buchner. THE MADMAN I threw a stone; m We all threw stones and stoned him.

WHAT RED STAR MEANS. When the regiment goes march- „ ing down the street, few who ap- I plaud the splendid marching of the i c, ; fellows really get the significance of i _ 1 that little red star which adorns tlic ! 1 sleeve of every boy in the regiment, i n " and few know the co-operation that f( L is necessary to keep that star where y it is. That star means a six-year ri standing as one of the best trained j, units of R. O. T. C. in the United i j, States. Twice has our corps taken c I third place in the grading of the t 1 units of the Ninth corps area; once r 7 it has taken first. In order that t " this very excellent record may be A 3 retained a great deal of effort on j the part of every man must be t- taken. An espirit de corps must be developed. A bit of personal pnoe i as "Sarge" Holloway calls it, must . be instilled into the heart of every t boy. . , . ,, i . i in the usual slow but inevitable it way the companies are gradually 1 r being rounded into form. Our band , is way ahead of its last years standing. Our sponsors are the best, so the officers think, in years. To help bolster the enthusiasm, some s have even given their respective units little talks on sportsmanship a and loyalty. That's the right spirit, ? girls, keep it up. With the help of our very capable commandant and I his fine assistants, Sergeants Holloway and Mayer, we again expect to take first place. f HOLLY HOP. ,1 Another day has passed. You now " have only 11 days in which to beat p that rival out of a date, men. Bet- a ter do it today because those nine Z days go by in an awfully short time. It's going to be one great dance. You certainly do not want to miss it. The committees are f] working hard in order that we can show the juniors as good a time as S they showed us at the turkey trot. , ic Watch for the date that the sale of tickets starts. CHATTER AND CHAFF. p« A correction please: In the an- i. nouncement of the Holly Hop last hp Friday in assembly the juniors seem to to have misinterpreted the meaning that the seniors would beat the jun- ,h iors at their own game pf entertam- 'io ing. Only an attempt will be made. )n A more delightful dance than the turkey trot is hard to imagine, Grant Morse is in love. Its too i bad that you aren't the lucky girl, i girls. Better luck next time, Instructor Ed Smith is certainly re getting hard-boiled these days. A it. test every day for the next six weeks is the schedule he has map- ped out for his classes. Don't be in surprised if someone blows the :e chemistry teacher, lab, and all to kingdom come. F An adding machine has been bought for Bob Parks so that lie can avoid errors in adding up the! reports of Les and Chuck before giving the total to Hugh. It's just a suggestion but perhaps Don Finch might need one, too. FRUITS OF OUR FACULTY. Not all the brilliance of the «" school is confined to the students. In a recent edition of the M. I. T., a Mt. Ogden paper, the following poem by Mrs. McKey is found: SYMBOLS When Christmas candles cast their golden gleam Let me remember Him who brought the light; - Let not the flaming holly nor the din Of laughter in a joy-world of white Shut out remembrance of the natal night. O little stars that shine upon the tree, May you recall the first bright guiding beam. Help me to see behind thy charm and thee A deeper grace: that though I carol gay In candle light and glow of Christ¬mas tree, My soul may go about on bended knee. ABOUT OUR ALUMNAE. They're gone but they certainly are not forgotten. Well do we love to read letters of their doings in college life in other parts of the country. Huber Earle, a last year's ; product, writes that life at the University of Florida is extremely lone- . ly. We will bet a lot that he would like to be back at the high school. Down at Weber there are a host of former sons who would give their right eye teeth to hear one of Dave Wangsgard's jokes again It isjmifa.. I comical to see Eliot Sampson and . I Kent Bramwell walk by in the li morning just as the companies are t forming. They cast a sly glance at e the old building and with an air of r resignation make their way to an d institution of higher learning. Back i I m west Point Chuck Dunn and 11 Gordon Larson are trying to master e ! the whys and the hows of some s real arithmetic. It is a sure chance t that they wish they could again be ,e in the throes of Dad Beeson's solid n and trig. TYPING AWARDS Mr. Farnsworth reports the fol- 'y lowing awards for the month of November: .
