OGDEN Dec. 19, 1929 . . High School News Nothing great was ever achieved! without enthusiasm.—Emerson. CONCERNING DEBATE Tuesday evening after school, to a crowd of perhaps 200, the debate : on the proposed amendment was , held. Both teams put forth some i valuable points on student body 1 government and certainly gave us something to think about. The ' amendment was downed in council by a close majority, making a def¬inite stand against the amendment as it was proposed. However, a i number of students maintain vigor¬ously that council is not rightly representative of the student body, j The students present were given a taste of the proceedings of the stu¬dent body council, since the regular council meeting was held in the presence of the students in order that they might be familiarized with the workings of the organization. We hope that the question will either be shelved or adopted. BROADCASTING HOLLY HOP Did you hear the advertising of the Hop over KLO last evening? Do you believe the urge that is made ' in behalf of our radio if for noth¬ing else? Then, if you do, you will attend the Christmas dance. Marge and Beth are working hard get¬ting presents for Dad to give the students. They are having a hard time finding how to spend the 10 cents allowed for each present. Tickets are on sale now. Either buy your ticket from the ticket com- \ mittee it you are a couple or pre- i sent your 50 cents at the door if j you are a stag. Plenty of tag i dances are promised, so the heart breakers can do their work. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall 5f fame: Jim De Vine. Because blue road¬sters are his favorite kind of toy. Because when he took the blindfold test he mistook coffee for his favo¬rite brand of cigarets. Because what he doesn't know in history Hod Nebeker does, or thinks he does. Be¬cause he says he hates to brag but down in California he ran a hun¬dred yards in nothing flat, beating all other records by about nine sec¬onds. !- Doyle Jensen. Because he knows a good plan when he has one. He also knows a poos plan when ha sees one. Because there is a huge discussion as to whether the instru¬ment he plays is a baritone horn or a cross between a bass horn and a flute. Because we would like to know if Doyle is going to enter the endurance bicycle races next spring, j He certainly gets enough practice. Marian Allison. Because she ab- i solutely believes that cops should be women. Because no one ever asked Marian the question "A pen¬ny for your thoughts." Because the student body is planning a celebra¬tion when she utters her second word. She said her first when a shot put was dropped on her foot. Her word then was "Gee." MATHEMATICS Have you had the privilege of in¬dulging in some of the advanced "math" the students are taught who are taking higher math from Mr. Beeson or Mr. Coray? If not you have missed one of the truly fine things that is given in the Ogden high curriculum. The classes in solid geometry, trig, and advanced algebra will verify this. A great deal of the work in advanced math¬ematics is individual effort. The delving into the problems of the higher mathematical sciences are of an individual character. And who can deny the extreme delight in the mental victory of a completion of a new theorem? But the fineness of these advanced arts are interwoven into the splendid presonalities of our math teachers. Their work is bub¬bling with vim and enthusiasm. Students never forget Dad with his fine personality or Mr. Coray. hi.-, f colleague. They are the kind of i teachers we like to remember. CHATTER AND CHAFF Does Ben love the word psychol¬ogy? And how he loves it. If you don't believe us ask anyone who has heard him in the process of speech. One of the fond mothers is giv¬ing her shining example of budding manhood a lawn party during the holidays. We dcn't like lawn par¬ties; sunstrokes are nicer during Christmas time. The Christmas Quarterly will be out soon. We hope it is as fine as the last issue. The time will come when life will cease to exist on this earth. Our idea of an optimist is a person who ! is afraid that he will be the last : one. Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please inform me wheth¬er the Holly Hop is formal or not? Thank you. CURIOUS. Dear Curious: The high school dances are never strictly formal. Each year we try to discourage such practices as the sending of flowers, etc. The boys, of course, will not wear tuxedos; how¬ever, the girls usually like to indulge in "party" dresses. Come again. AUNT JANE. FEEDING THE FAMILY With the arrival of the Christmas season, the Girls' association has undertaken the splendid work of su-pervising the preparation of bas¬kets for the poor. Although this activity is sponsored by the Girls' association, each and every student in the school is assisting with his contribution either of an article of iood or its equivalent m money. ! Sincere thanks is offered to all the students, without whose co-opera¬tion this endeavor would be impos¬sible. In obtaining the names ox needy families and in directing the work, the Girls' association is doing a fine work which truly expresses the real Christinas spirit. BEAUTIFUL PICTURE "North Country," a print, by the late W. L. Metcalf, a well-known artist, was purchased by Mr. Robins and his students for Room 302. It is a beautiful picture that has been reproduced exceptionally Well in every way. The print is of a low, purple mountain at whose foot nes¬tles a small, country village, almost hidden by the willows bordering the stream. "North Country" suggests peace- fulness and quietude; that feeling that comes between the falling of the last leaf and the first snow; that waiting as if for a great event. The peacefulness is even suggested in the mountain's silent watchful¬ness over the little town, and in the church's spire that rises above the village. It is found in the river's quiet rippling as it wends its way through the autumn-yellow mead¬ows. BASKETBALL The Tigers engaged in the second game of the practice series Tues¬day evening with the powerful East High quintet. The final score was 27 to 0 in favor of the East High aggregation. The Tigers have a strong team in spite of the fact that the veterans of last year are ob¬viously absent from the ranks. The opposing team had more than a strong team and are to be compli¬mented on the fine floorwork which won them the victory. Ogden is very fortunate in that the veterans of last year were seniors and con-sequently did not return this;. year. With the help of our efficient coaches, Kapple and Oberhansley, and the .co-Operation of the players we are Sure to have a polished bunch of players to send into the final series which will begin after the holidays.—L. S. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM ' Tomorrow, Friday, at 2 p. m.. the high school offers a Christmas as¬sembly to which all parents and , friends are invited. The choral society will present a cantata, "The Glory of Bethlehem," by Petrie. Rev. Arthur Hansen will j give a short onristmas talk. PICTURE TODAY The R. O. T. C. boys are enjoy¬ing a West Point picture at the Paramount theat e this afternoon. Soecial concessions were offered by Manager Glasmann. Sergeant Holloway was instrumental in securing treat for the boys. OGDEN Dec. 20, 1929 . . High School News fin Henry Aiken, editor in chief fi Dena Liapis, asisstant editor Dost thou love life? Then do not quander time ,for that is the stuff ti ife is made of.—Benjamin Franklin w TONIGHT IS THE BIG NIGHT Tonight is the night of the Holly iop. Will you be there? We cer- ;ainly urge you to attend. A big d ;irne is assured to all Who attend. n Refreshments will be served at in- e permission, and a number of tag f( lances are on the program, so if t] fou are stag you will not feel out ij 3f place. Although the married men objected to the advertising to stags, It will do them good to have a little irritation in the form of bachelors, d Leave your formality at home and ". Let's make the Holly hop one of s pleasant memories. If you haven't r a ticket you can purchase one at i the door. ( i SCHOOL SPIRIT In every school there are three kinds of students: those who care nothing about their school ot its activities, those who are indillexent to the doings of their school, neith- , er boosting nor knocking, coming ! to some functions when it suitsL their pleasure, and there are those who give their school everything that is asked and a lot more be¬sides. These are the students who are getting the most out of their school careers. Everything they do they do with a vim and enthusiasm that cannot be downed. Their scholastic standing is above average, their extra curricular activities are given to the student body without thought of rewaru.. These are the students that really make a success of school life. What type of student are you? Are you a booster or do you sit back and knock those who are doing things for you? If you are in the latter class, the wise thing for you to do to change to the other side. CHATTER AND CHAFF Did you have the opportunity to hear the advertisement of the Holly hop over KLO last Wednesday eve¬ning? If you didn't you probably missed a big laugh. Doc Stone got stage fright when he talked to his invisible audience. Someone is a miserable test tube thief, according to Ted Mattson. Mr. Smith believes Ted is a prevar-icator but Ted swears that his chemistry equipment is continually being borrowed and not being brought back. Mr. Smith has given Ted a compartment for his chemi¬cal equipment now that only a saw will open. Our old friend "Sib" Chez Is in town. The former O. H. S. student is now attending Castle Heights military academy. He certainly looks great in his flowery uniform. The cadet corps has one "Scotch gentleman," no fooling. If anyone would like to know how to get something for nothing ask our be- ' loved "sarge.", Mrs. Newcombe certainly gave her second period English class a most inspiring talk, last Wednesday. Your personal Interest is surely fine, Mrs. Newcombe. Those little inter¬views with our better selves are fine. HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame. The Malan twins. Because one: Howard and the other's Harold Which is Harold? We don't know do you? Because Jack Hilton I their best friend. Because the. once had a quarrel; the result wa the crematorium for both of their Because Harold wears a pink ribboi In his hair while Howard nas a gold bo filling in his wisdom tooth. bu Dee Sheppard. Because he sim- se ply adores raw oysters. Because th oysters are such slippery things to n hold on to, especially in the diges- th tive organs. Because he looks as Cicero did when Cicero was a youth. m Because he believes in the old Ha- sa waiian custom, "Eat, drink and be gc merry, for tomorrow we may be et dead, and then where are you?" i0 Howard Tribe. Because as a chairman he makes a good train caller. Because of all the presi¬dents that We 13 ever had he is not only the best but also the worst, si, He is running Chuck Hetzel a race ™ for a comprehensive knowledge of the procedure of deliberative organ- izations. VISITOR Ogden High was honored Thursday by a visit from an alumnus of ™ . '25, Clyde Sharp. Clyde is now a P ' student of the University of Colorado and is here for the holidays. . ; It is very interesting to know that ™ Clyde was one of two students to graduate from a course in machine designing. We hope that Clyde has 2! , enjoyed his visit to the alma mater w ; and will remember and return often. L S- f AMIGOS DEL MUNDO ; President Konold called the meet- ing to order Wednesday. This is se one of the best meetings we have 1 ig had since the first of the year. Con- J- elusion: Miss Greene certainly has io a charming personality. She gave ir an absorbing talk on her trip to io Mexico, and really the customs of m Mexicans are amusing. It seems ir that our program was all star. We ;e, had two very clever tap dancers re from Washington school perform at for us. They were, Fay Robinson le and Edna Williams. Their capable ss pianist was Elma Blackwell. I am sure that we all enjoyed the fol- a? lowing numbers. Nettis Newman ok gave two violin selections and Fran- rig cis Fostor entertained us with two tie piano solos. Have we class? Yes. 3u This fact I wish to impress upon le. the scholastic minds of Ogden High school. LOIS ROBINSON, Reporter. CHRISTMAS PACKAGES ly From the overcrowded condition ot of the office one will know imme- iis diately that the students of Ogden High never half do a thing. The be students have certainly responded m with a spirit known only to Ogden High, and they will be happy to us know that their small contributions Uy helped to make many a poor fam- ng ily the happier. With this knowl- en edge they will be able to apkpreciate ii_ their own Christmas all the more, rw Every room responded with a pack¬age or money. Packed in gay colors, n not only were there provisions for mt one festive feast, but supplies that its will last a number of days were p 1 " - given by some rooms. Things of a ich personal nature were also added, ,ne making the gifts really a Christmas ?et affair, not merely food for a meaL )e- Twenty-six families were provided for, as well as a considerable sum of ier i money.

Yes, Christmas cheer! Listen to old Father Time Ring sweet bells that chime, chime chime. Christmas comes but once a year Bringing with it endless cheer. ' At last our snow has arrived. We : were beginning to think that some¬body has misplaced it permanently, but it is here now, and did you ever see any finer? We always did say that Phi Lambda does things right. Now there is no doubt about it, is there? Wednesday, instead of our regular meeting, we had a gift box. Billie ' says we'll all smell nice 'cause we ; got so many bath salts, atomizers, ' ? \ etc- but every gift was just lovely. Thanks, everybody. [ MERRY CHRISTMAS 3 This is the O. H. S.
