Ogden High School News Mon. Jan 27-30 Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn. —Robert Burns. CONGRATULATIONS Another Accolade has passed. An¬other wonderful evening remains but a memory. But that memory will remain long in the minds of many of the fine crowd that attended the Accolade on Friday night last. The dance was a huge success from every standpoint, social, in spirit, financial, or what have you. Girls, we take off our hats to you. You can certainly entertain in royal style. The dance was a credit to any girls' association. The programs were very individual; the refresh¬ments were delightful. It is tough that the girls only have a chance to do this sort of thing once a year. WONDERFUL DEMONSTRATION . Students, you may well be proud of the showing that you made at the game last Thursday. The co-operation and the spirit of the stu¬dent body couldn't have been beat¬en anywhere by anyone. It was pure pluck on the part of everyone concerned that old O. H. S. came out victors. Weber weren't in it with us. We out yelled them, out played them, beat them at the big¬gest of all, sportsmanship. What could be more perfect? Gang, we're proud of you. Team, words fail us. Your playing was superb. Your gameness was almost heroic. Let's have more of this sort of thing. It j makes for the finest of people. It builds friendship. It makes real : men and women out of us. It makes us real Americans. DR. MILLS SPEAKS In assembly on Friday, we were addressed by Dr. Mills. His talk was on the Heritage which we of America have been given by the peo¬ple of northern Europe. We appre¬ciate your taiK, doctor; it is a fine thing for us to hear such speeches. CHATTER AND CHAFF Lorna Crockett attended the Ac¬colade last Friday. You'll remember that-ehe was president of the. Girls' association last year, and that she was .the important factor in the success of the Accolade of 1929. We'll bet that it caused a pang to run through her when she saw an¬other girl lead the grand march which a year before she had led. What is more nourishing, a piece of mince pie or a piece of cheese? Ben seems to think that cheese has more calories. There is one person in this school who has learned that too much is too much. Dorothy Watts also found this out. Almost all of our faculty and their families were in attendance at the dance. Mrs. E. Smith attended the first dance she has been to in over a year. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. Merrill, Mr. and Mrs. E. Wangsgard, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Wangsgard were among the many teachers who honored us by their attendance. It is fine to have the faculty with us. A school party isn't complete wtihout them. PHI LAMBDA TAU Phi Lambda Tau held its regular meeting Wednesday, January 22. Mr. Smalley was here to advise us concerning our pins. The ones we picked out are very appropriate for a rifle club and we ere proud of our selection. It won't be long now until you'll see us sporting them. —PAT. BASKETBALL The game between the Tigers and the Warriors was just crammed full of thrills. The half ended with a score of 10 to 12 in favor of the Ti¬gers. The score see-sawed back and forth, and the final shot showed a score of 28 to 29 in favor of the Orange Streaks. The support was fine and when the game started there was standing room only. It was a hundred per cent attendance of Ogden boosters. The cheering , was fine on both sides, and the Booster club of Weber certainly is a ; i peppy group. A clever little tap ! 1 dance ended by forming a large 1IJ "W." Weber is to be congratulated on this fine club, and the excep¬tionally good players. The passing and floor work brought forth ex¬clamations of delight with Weber, and it will decide the city cham-pionship. A BOOSTER CLUB What we need, the team, the school, and the student body, is a booster club. It would only necessi-tate the support of a few peppy girls. A booster club is needed to go with the team and back them in . victory or defeat. When the victory has been won, or is on a tottering i base, the team needs some one to - back them. ! It need not be a regular club run as the other school clubs are oper¬ated, but an athletic affair in ses-sion only when games are being played. About one night a week the girls could meet here at the school and the meeting would not require any home gatherings. We could wear simple, inexpensive costumes and thus make a show for ourselves and the Ogden high school. Come on, girls, write your opinion of the matter on a piece -of paper and put it in the little brown box. ASSEMBLY NOTES There I was, perched on the bleachers with pencil and paper try¬ing to write this assembly up. I was especially impressed by the rampage by Hod and Claude. Their hearts were surely in the work. In preparation for the big game with Weber county this assembly was solely a "pep" one. It was brimming over with "pep," too. The songs and yells seem to be going over big, thanks to Mr. Hansen, the band, Dee, and "Annie." PAT. i Ogden High School News "Men's thoughts are much accord¬ing to their inclinations and their discourse and speeches according to their learning and infused opinions..' —Francis Bacon. OGDEN VERSUS BEAR RIVER Weber beat Box Elder. Box Elder beat Bear River, we beat Weber. Therefore we should be able to turn the trick and hand Bear River an¬other trouncing. Those who saw the game last Thursday can veri¬fy the statement that our men are a fine team with plenty of fight and ability to give as well as take. Like us Bear River has done some surprising work -this year. They are a scrappy team and will afford us a good fight. The team appreciated your yelling and backing, students, against Weber. Let's carry over some of the fight and all go up to Bear River to see the team give the Bears a good licking. A bus is being sought. Fill it up and join the gang at Bear River. CRACK COMPANY The crack company, under the fiery oratory and decisive drilling of "Sarge" Holloway, is making big headway. They certainly do make the old rifle talk, and "Sarge" as¬sures us that by the twenty-first, which is the date of the cadet hop, we'll have a crack company better than ever before. The non-coms are envious of the post of drilling the exhibition company. Who will it be? LEAVES FOR COAST Mrs. Cunningham departed for San Francisco Saturday last to join her husband, Colonel Thomas H. Cunningham who is confined to the military hospital there. BASKETBALL A great deal of wonderment as to who the actual captain of the Tigers is seems to prevail. "Dribbling Doc" Stone was elected last year, but became disabled while playing football, and so we began looking about for another captain. ; Junior Pantone was elected captain just before the beginning of the game with Weber. Junior, at the beginning of the new semeter, is ineligible. Junior is one of the most prominent players and will certainly ! be missed from the ranks of the ; Tigers. The question is, "Will there be still another captain?" SERGEANT SMILES Sergeant Holloway wore the smile Monday that just would not "come off." When asked to explain he confessed, "Well, I'll tell you, fellows, it's another boy, and I'm sure the happiest man in Ogden." SEMESTER BEGINS The second semester began on Monday with practically no inter¬ruption in the work. Ogden high prides herself on her system of going- right on and on. RETURNS Mrs. Raymond, our capable libraian, has returned. Mrs. Raymond has been ill, and we are very glad to welcome her back to the school and library. We have certainly missed her and hope she will not have such bad luck as to have to be absent any more. ANOTHER ILL ONE Glen Hansen, instructor in music, was confined to his home most the day Monday with a severe cold. CHATTER AND CHAFF Every student in O. H. S. and his dog is going to Bear River. We sug¬gest that a baggage car be hired for some students. Junior Pantone is now out of the lineup. It's a tough break for Ju¬nior, but it's a tougher break for Ogden. We'll have to fight all the harder now. Wouldn't we like to Clean up that Pantone boy for not paying attention to his dear teach¬ers. Hod promises us that unless some i action is taken that he will honor us by a twenty-minute speech in the next assembly. If you love life, ; students, don't "proscrasinate" and have those pictures taken. It brings good luck. Look what it did for Bob Parks. Bob got a big dose. Have you heard of Music Mas¬ter Newcomb's trombone section? Dee Bramwell plays first trombone. His splendid tone has secured him i his place. WE 13 A moolight skiing party! That lis "We 13's" newest concoction. "We" l are doing big things lately. Our meetings are very instructive and we'll all be aviators by and by if our plane doesn't crash. Watch us soar. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: ! Is it possible ever to have dances ! after the basketball game? I have heard a great deal of discussion about the help it would give to i school spirit. I WONDER. Answer: Mr. Merrill and the student body council have agreed that the nine regular dances of the year are a great plenty. Basketball dances have been tried and have proved very unsuccessful.

Come on, Gang! Everybody go to the game at Bear River, Friday. If you haven't a car ride the bus; if you haven't the price of a bus ticket then walk. We must have the en¬tire student body behind the team in this very important game. We now have a very good chance to do something in the way of winning regional championships. We dis¬posed of Weber, perhaps the strong¬est team in the division. Bear River have a good team also. If we beat them and if Davis loses a game that would bring us into a tie for first place. We have a good team. That has been demonstrated. All the boys need now is more experi¬ence and student body support. The support was good at the last game. It can, however, be even better. You don't have good yelling until every¬one goes almost off of his base and by the end of the game can't utter a single word from hoarseness. At the game a week ago there were - still a few students who could ' whisper. On to Bear River. Let's show the Bear that a Tiger has it all over a Cub. QUARTERLY TO PRESS. The call has been made for work for the quarterly. The editors want I a lot of fine material to choose for the Carnival issue. Do your best work for the Quarterly students. Let's have a fine school magazine. ; The past issues have been extremely I good. The next issue is, however, I urged to be even better. It depends on you, students, how good it is. ! NEW CLASSES ORGANIZED. A number of new classes have I been organized. It is a wise thing i students, if you have any study periods that are getting on your nerves to enroll in one of these 1 new classes. Mr. Merrill is making especial effort in the organizing of classes in the review of the es-sentials of the main branches of ; school work. It will cover English, . mathematics and science. It will well repay you for time spent in this most valuable work that is be- : ing .given by Mr. Coray. As Mrs. Newcombe says, "Constant repetition wears away stone." I CHATTER AND CHAFF. ; A new member has been added to Mrs. Newcombe's band, mostly brass. He plays the bass horn, and : oh, how he plays it.. Carl Grace and Phil Weeks have assumed the blood stained robes of , politica. Carl is especially successful as a politician, and Phil although ; new at the job defeated Greta Higginson for the job of secretary. They hold office in the ex-Childs Talking club of O. H. S. The club is now merely current events club of the fourth period history class since no one in that class has anything to say any more. Believe it or not. If not ask Mrs. Irwin. Call out the state militia! Benny , got a real grade in Latin. He is ! going to frame it. Poor boy. It af¬fected him so deeply that for two hours all he could say was "Whoopee." A and B companies are working hard to see who can have everyone absent first. So far A company has had the most absent, but B com¬pany assures us that they are no slouches and that they expect to achieve the coveted honor soon if the car from Twelfth street will only jump the track. "WHERE ARE PATRIOTS." Where are the forces who were going to change the organization of student body council? Have they lost their conviction and courage? In the assembly, the day of the de¬bate on the question of more equal representation, they pointed out a number of fine things that would undoubtedly benefit. Although the proposal of last month was hardly a wise one a plan might be adopted to give the student body a more j decided representation. Clubs, it must be admitted, have a great deal of authority in council. Also it must be admitted that those club repre¬sentatives are fine members, who do their duty very well, and who are, for the most part, excellent students in every way. The ques¬tion is not: Could we establish a better student body council? for it is generally conceded that the present council is very efficient, but: Would a bigger student representation bring more united spirit and greater interest throughout the student body in student affairs. Perhaps it would and perhaps it wouldn't. There is a great deal of theorizing and contention. If we could get more students interested, however, and have a bigger distribution of the student body activities, it would well be worth the experiment. THE EDITOR. HALL OF FAME. We nominate to our Hall of Fame: Sarge Holloway. Because we wish to congratulate him on the arrival of another "little corporal." Because even Chuck Hetzel can't talk over three days at one stretch. Because the army mule is in the navy now. Because an R. O. T. C. unit witii- out Sarge would be like the man without a country. Sarge's favorite words arc "get into the game now." We wonder if he knows what the score is. Guinevere Hess. Because she took the high road while Ada took the low road. They met at the wrong place. Thereby hangs a tale. And so they took the fifty thousand dollars and taught Guinevere how to lead a march, "Tiptoeing Through the Tulips." Because she wondered what happened when Bob Barker couldn't find G company the other day. CREATING A TRADITION. Ogden High school presents its first minstrel show tonight at Lewis Junior. In an open letter addressed to the students this morning, .Prin¬cipal Merrill said: "All who can afford to go to the minstrel show should go. Those who do not feel that they can really af-ford to go, can perhaps, induce others who can afford it, to go. "Anyway, let's do all we can to make Ogden's first minstrel show a success. "If it goes well, Mr. Hansen will feel encouraged and will perhaps make such an entertainment an annual affair, thus we shall estab¬lish another fine tradition in the high school. "In 1950, when the Ogden High school minstrel is a great annual classic, will you not be proud to say, 'I helped to start the minstrel show way back in 1930. I attended the first show."
