OGDEN Jan. 17, 1930 . . High School News Henry Aiken, editor-in-chief; Lucille Summers and Dena Liapis, assistant editors. Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy. —Emerson. CHATTER AND CHAFF Ted Mattson has a date. By the commotion he has made it certainly must be a good one. We hope he will inform us soon who it is. Hie suspense is terrific, Ted. Not be¬cause it's you but because we won¬der what on earth got into her head. Iras Leavitt thinks that C com¬pany is just about it when it comes to a military organization. Some A or B company man ought to inform her what a real military organiza¬tion is like. Who is Mildred Stromburg? Judging by the zeal that some stu¬dent uses in suggesting her for the hall of fame, he must be some sort of a "silent lover." Remember, friend "anonymous," that faint heart never won fair lady. Men! Here's your big chance! Ruth Greaves hasn't decided who the lucky lad will be as yet. She can not make up her mind whom sh« wishes to give that lucky break to. O. H. S. BACKERS Each Wednesday the Rotary club of Ogden has as its guest some boy from Ogden High. The reason for their hospitality is that they are in¬terested in your welfare, students. They are urging the building of our long-awaitea high school. Let's have more of their type. Those who have attended your luncheons are very appreciative of your hospitality, Rotary. INTERESTED IN R. O. T. C.? What does R. O. T. C. mean to I you, fellow student? Is it merely a mass of colorless, meaningless uniforms? Or are you conscious that drill is doing its part to make O. H. S. a better school for you to live in? If you are not, then yours is the duty to rectify a wrong im¬pression. In every organization or community there are two kinds of people. There are those who kick, who knock, who criticize, but who never offer a thing better. Then there are those who admit things wrong but who make the most of things available even though they may not be perfect. They are the ones who improve an imperfect or¬ganization. These are the people who enrich an organization and who are the constructive part of that unit. So it is with the military de¬partment. There are those who can see nothing but unmanly submis¬sion to a meaningless authority, who believe that the boy3 and girls are being trained to go to war, to want war. These people see nothing of the fine side of drill work. They do not see the fine competition and reason for initiative that drill creates. They do not see the dis¬cipline, the order, the punctuality, the citizenship which R. O. T. C. develops. You student and you fellow citizens who are opposed to drill and who go to drill merely be¬cause the thing is compulsory should see the metamorphosis that takes place in you when you take drill because there is physical benefit, leadership, mental development in store to be gained from a thorough and enthusiastic participation. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPT. The girls' basketball teams which are being chosen from the various classes in gym are gradually assum¬ing fine shaDe. The few glimpses one gets of the teams in action will' certainly prove this statement. Miss Schofield makes an ideal referee, don't you think? Wouldn't it be thrilling to see the girls' team play the boys'? Miss Schofield asks that all boys refrain from entering the gym when one of these games is in progress. If this is not heeded measures will have to be taken to keep them out. We really don't blame the boys for wanting to watch such. a. line game, but please re¬spect the requests of the teachers ana stay out. DRAMATIC ART Considering the stellar production I just given _ by the dramatic art classes, "The Poor Nut," it seems as though their resources would nat¬urally be exhaused. Miss Stohl, in¬structor, has blasted this seemingly good idea by saying that a series of one-act plays will take place soon, the 18th of this month to be exact. The names and natures of these plays were not made known, but you may be sure that they will be the best yet. Come to think of it, the names of the characters were not given either. There's something to think about. INTELLIGENCE TEST Just a word about the results of our first test. The faculty passed the first examination. However, it was only with great difficulty that some of the members passed it. We won't mention names but the low¬est mark showed that one teacher had a mentality of a child rather young. How young? We won't say. (Continued) I Where is Stellae's telescope? When will We 13 go into a tail spin? Who knows more about drill, Paul Sugar or Hugh Mayer? When, where and how soon will Ogden High win an athletic event? One student has sworn off having his hair cut till that day. He al- ready has a considerable growth. Are spats worn to keep the ankles warm? O. H. S. TIGERS The Tigers will travel to Salt Lake to battle with the L. D. S. team today. This, however, is not a league game. The next league game will be played next week. It is probable that bus arrangements will again be made. The team has so many new players that it needs all the support the school can pos¬sibly give. Come on, gang, let's go. P. T. A. MEETING Ogden High had its second Par¬ent Teacher meeting on Wednes¬day evening last. The attendance of parents was about 100 per cent better than at the first meeting, so from that viewpoint the meeting was a great success. From the standpoint of entertainment the meeting was a huge success, as the girls' glee club sang two numbers most acceptably, and the sixth pe¬riod dramatic art class, under the direction of Miss Stohl, presented two one-act plays, "The Killers" and "Birds of a Feather," in a highly creditable manner. Andrew Brunetti also gave two readings in his inimitable style.. With such fine entertainment as this there should be no difficulty in filling the house hereafter at P. T. A. meetings. At the close of the meeting the parents and teachers held a "get- together" confab which must result in better mutual understandings. To that end, as we view it, the parent teacher organizations are working— to know and understand and help each other. PHI LAMBDA TAU Talk about a heated meeting! ' Whew, it was morse and more of it. Of course, it was all about our bod-sleigh party and everything would have been Just fine if Wini¬fred and Nelda were not so "darn" popular. We would like to tell their fellows, for heaven's sake, to stay home at least one night a week. We expect results, too. The Accolade? Surely, Phi Lambda Tau will be there 100 per cent strong, but to be original, we won't have bells on. After the dance Keeley's will have the su¬preme pleasure of serving us. Sounds all right, doesn't it? —Pat Fredrickson, Reporter. CARPI DIEM The regular meeting was called to order by President Budge. The minutes were read and approved. Committees were appointed to make plans for our annual skiing party, now that we have some snow to ski on. We'll be sliding soon, now. Mr. Smith gave us a fin talk on our meetings, activities and such. Iras Leavitt gave us a very inter¬esting talk on the religion of India. Yvonne Peirce related to us the sports of India. We enjoyed them both immensely. Meeting then adjourned. —Charlene Scowcroft. RIFLE COMPETITION Ogden High school's rifle team has been making splendid progress in the past two months under the expert supervision of Sergeant Ed Haldaway. It looks like they stand a good chance of taking the trip to Washingtdh, D. C., this trip is of¬fered to the winner of the Hearst national shoot. Last year the team took second place in the Ninth corps area shoot, which was in competition with 76 other shoots, but this year they hope to take first in everything they enter. The first match the team will compete in will be the Ninth corps area shoot, starting January 26. The five highest teams in the Ninth corps area shoot will represent this division in the national shoot. The Hearst national shoot will be held from March 1 to April 15. Ogden High has three teams entered. The widnning team, in addition to re¬ceiving medals and a cup, will get a trip to Washington, D. C., with all expenses paid. The team is also arranging matches with West High, El Paso High and other schools that can lend competition. The members of this year's team that were on last year's team are Junior Cazier, Lester Bell, Bert Moore, Glen Judd, Dave Lowham, Ruben Mason. The new members are Jim Gibson, Tom Harris, W. Harbertson, Abe Ruben, Raymond Roberts, Robert ; Simpson, Ernest Stimle, Delmore Weese, Edward Saunders, Darwin Van de Graaff, Eden Lowham. Watch Ogden's team progress. —Junior Cazier.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for i the future.—Euripides. CHATTER AND CHAFF The time has come when all good 1 boys will receive dates for the Ac¬colade. Judging from the looks qf things in assembly, Jimmie DeVine must be a very, very good boy. The question that is turning more boys gray lately is the immortal en¬igma: How much labor is required to carry two pair of skis up a hill? Rader Deegan is ineligible for the hall of fame. As much as he has strived for a place in the hall we regret to say that, due to things that we are unable to explain, Rader will not appear in the hall of fame. Don Pidcock and Dee Bramwell are important candidates for the po¬sition of queen at the Classicalia next spring. Even though they didn't rate a date with the school's most popular boy for the girls' dance, they are considered seriously for the queen's job. Don's big asset is his beauty and perfect teeth, while Dee is famous for a beautiful figure and lovely golden locks. Hod says that unless more cour¬tesy is shown him he will quit drill. The other morning when he walked into C company's room Dick McKey; failed to call his men to attention.1 AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Could it be possible to have the radio turned on during noon hour? Our lunches are dry and a little mu-sic would be a great help. —Two Music Lovers. Dear Music Lovers: Your suggestion is a good one. I think that it would certainly take away the monotony of lunch if the students could listen to the radio. The radio is for the student body. There is no reason why it should not be used for the pleasure of the students.—Aunt Jane. MRS. IRWIN ILL Mrs. Irwin, vice principal, was ill during the latter part of the week. We hope, Mrs. Irwin, you are feel-ing much better and will soon be yourself again. INTELLIGENCE TEST Who is the boy who is forever shouting "Whoopee"? How many absences from Carpe Diem will deprive a member from membership? How long could Ogden High stu¬dents keep still in assembly without affecting the condition of their health? Who is Rader Deegan going to the Accolade with? How much longer can that wet spot on Miss Chesney's ceiling go without causing the plaster to cave in? Who thinks he is the captain of the basketball team, and who doesn't think he is the captain? A SPLENDID TALK Arthur Woolley gave us an inter¬esting address at Friday's assembly. His theme grew out of his life's ex-perience, "What's Worth Having Is Worth Working For." He is dead right in his contention. COUNCIL Council was called to order by President Stewart. The minutes were read and approved. Tau Eta Nu was granted a party for Friday. Eleanor Stevens, chairman of the club committee, reported that a new club, the Ogden Dramatic club, had handed its constitution to her. It was moved and seconded that this report be accepted. The motion was carried. On a motion, the consti¬tution of the Dramatic club was read. It was moved and seconded that action on this constitution be tabled until next meeting. The mo¬tion was carried. On a motion, the constitution of the Dramatic club was read. It was moved and sec¬onded that action on this constitu¬tion be tabled until next meeting. The motion was carried. Jack Reeve, j business manager of the Quarterly, j gave a report on the first two is- sues. It was moved and seconded that Mr. Reeve give a detailed re¬port mainly on the contracts for ad-vertisements and the financial con-! dition of the "first two issues of the j Quarterly. President Stewart re- j ported that the cost of the radio I was approximately $1100, but as yet i not all of the bills have been re- ! ceived. It was moved and seconded that a committee of two be appoint¬ed to draw up a resolution thank¬ing the teachers who helped install the radio and to have the resolu¬tion put in the minutes. The com¬mittee consisted of Dee Bramwell and Ben Cartwriglit. President Stewart reported that there was a two dollar deficit on the bus that was chartered for the last basketball game. It was moved and seconded that the deficit should be made up by the student body. The motion was carried. Council then adjourn¬ed. —Rader Deegan, Secretary. THERE'S MUSIC IN AIR "Hello, Washington." "Why, hello, George. What you looking so happy about?" "Well, I'll tell you. Do you j- member when we were down south in Old Virginia, before that trip down the Swanee river? Do you re¬member that swell show we saw about a week or so before? Re¬member, that I took Caroline, and it pleased her so that she plum fo'get massa was in cold, cold groun' and had the time of her sweet young life? Well, there's going to be an¬other of those shows right here in Ogden, only it's going to be much bigger and much better than that one. There's going to be real ne-groes, real music, and real dancing. Oh, boy'" And that's only half of it; it's go¬ing to be a minstrel show. It will be presented by the Male Glee club and Ogden High school orchestra, Wednesday, January 22, at 8:15 p. m. in Lewis Junior High school. Ad-mission will be only 50 cents, and the "first there will be first served." There will be quartets, duets, solos, specialties, tap dancing, cross five, regular coons from way down south, and everything that goes to make up one grand time of mirth and music. It is under the direction of Mr. Hansen, and everyone knows by now that everything Mr. Hansen puts his hand to is bound to be a success. TAKE HEED, GIRLS! "If I kiss you in the garden In the moonlight. Will you pardon me And tip-toe through the tulips with me?" Are you taking a chance of miss¬ing this? I hope not. You know that the Accolade is always one of the best dances of the year, but this year's will be the best ever, and you can't afford to miss it. So hur¬ry and get your ticket as soon as possible, as there is a limited num¬ber, and they are going fast. Dear Aunt Jane: Do the girls do the entertaining at the Accolade? Do they buy the tickets, feed the boys, and pay for all the other incidentals that usually accompany the attending of a dance? The reason I am asking is that I haven't a date and I would like to know just how much I am missing.—Scotty. Dear Scotty: Judging from your remarks you are a very mercenary person. How- ever, you should be answered. Yes, the girls do pay all expenses. It is their dance from beginning to end. Theirs is the problem of transporta¬tion, theirs to buy the tickets and the other incidentals. Believe me, Scotty, you don't know what you are missing, even from a financial standpoint.—Aunt Jane. LETTER ARRIVES Mr. Merrill recently received a letter stating that Mr. Johnson, a past teacher of Latin in Ogden High school, is now a professor at the University of Michigan. He has re- - ceived his doctor's degree and begins work at the university this year. While in Ogden he was a very active leader of the boys in the school. We are glad to hear of his success.
