Show Tigers Meet Davis In Ogden Feb. 5, 1930 AUNT JANE'S CORNER. Dear Aunt Jane: Last year mere was a great deal of class spirit. Almost too much rivalry was indulged in, according to reports. This year the only signs of class spirit have been shown months past. What is the matter with the two classes? Are they united better or haven't they got the spirit and feeling of wanting to out-do each other like the juniors I and the seniors had last year? What ! should meazi more, school or class ! spirit? An Interested Senior. Dear Senior: You have been in the school two years. Judge for yourself. What is better, class or school spirit? If you remember the bitter antagonism that prevailed for some time last year you will realize that, although class spirit is a fine thing in its place, often it outlives its usefulness and ceases to be a virtue. Last year class spirit caused much hard feel¬ing and unnecessary antagonism. Junior was pitted against Senior. Only after weeks of fruitless ill feeling did the student body that class spirit must give way to school spirit ii any cjj is . us accomplished in a united way. How¬ever, don't let that destroy class rivalry. That, if carried on in legiti mate ways, will build up school spirit. This is especially the case with our school social functions. The worthiness of each class can best be decided by the successes of the two groups in their efforts to make money at their respective school activities. The question of the respective pep of each organiza¬tion will be decided after the prom when debits and credits can be com¬pared. AUNT JANE. GOOD NEWS. At last our Pep club is on the road to success. The club is open to any and every girl in the "school who wishes to join. Miss Schofield is our advisor and you know who she is! Oh, boys, watch us. We'll show you some real spirit. You will Shave to jump fast to keep up with us. Girls, our work is to boost and help put over all school activities. Come on, let's apply today! We are going to meet on Wednesday night in the gym at 3:15. Be there! A snappy bunch—wow! A happy bunch—how! Bring_on your gang of fiejhtine: colors for the game. Don't forget, Friday at 8:15. HIGH STUDENT. Of the Ogden High students en¬tering the University of Utah, Sep¬tember last, Miss Eleanor Wedell stands high in scholarship, having won As in eight hours of work dur¬ing the first semester. SKI DAY. Coach Dixon Kapple has been ap¬pointed chairman of high schools in the winter sports carnival. Mr. Kapple is asking for contestants in ski- jumping and ski racing (two miles) on High School day, Febru¬ary 14. BASKETBALL In spite of all the discouraging predictions for the Ogden team we now hold second place in the di-visional race. Davis, one of the strongest contenders last year, is playing the same lineup this year and now holds first place .If we win the game Friday, we will be tied for first place with Davis. The game Friday will be played in the Weber gym at 8:15 promptly. If we ever needed the support of the student body for the games, we need it now. The four ensuing games will be played at home, and you should try to attend all of these games. Our new booster club will be out in Division Headliner Weber Warriors to Oppose Bear River; Competition Looms Orange Streaks May Be Forced to Play Without Ser¬vices of Stitt; Kapple Pleased With New Machine; Thorne Prepares For Local Battle. O GDEN and Davis high court teams, leaders in the Ogden division race, furnish the headline game of the circuit this week-end. The two fives clash at the Weber gymnasium Friday night at 8:15 p. m. sharp. Bear River and Weber clash Friday night at the Warrior gymnas¬ium in the other league battle of the week. The Ogden Tigers, under com- nand of Dixon Kapple, are the surprise of the new season. Kapple, j one of the veteran mentors of the , state has devel- 1 oped an entire green team into a 1 polished outfit, and hopes to see his charges in the race for the pen¬nant. Last week the Tigers disposed of KAPPLE Bear River and -advanced into sec¬ond place. They have captured two games and suffered one defeat. The Tigers may be forced to com¬pete against Davis without the serv¬ices of Stitt, the classy forward. He suffered an ankle injury in tfhe game last week. In the event that Stitt is able to perform, he vail be pitted at one forward post, with Hunter at the other forward position. Hilton is scheduled to take care of the pivot post with Mayer and Foley on the guard line. Coach Jack Croft of the Davis five is undecided as to his starting lineup. Wilcox, the ace of the Davis machine, is expected to perform at one of the scoring positions. Weber High has been hard at work since suffering defeat at the hands of the Ogden five, and the Warriors are favorites to win over the Bear River quint. Thorne has worked his men over¬time this week in preparation for a stiff battle. Earl Ferguson's Bees will be idle this week. The league standing follows: W. L. Pct. Davis 3 0 1.000 Ogden 2 1 .667 Box Elder 2 2 .500 Weber 1 2 .333 Bear River 0 3 .000 FAMOUS BROTHERS Do you know the McCraley broth¬ers, Don and Bob? They are some others of our famous brothers. Don is a captain of E company. He is a lucky boy in other ways, too. Just see the girl with whom he went to the Accolade and you know the rea¬son. Bob is a battalion adjutant. If you know these fellows you will agree that brothers are certainly big events in O. H. S. student life. HOW VALUABLE COUNCIL? How valuable is council? This question is more discussed than per¬haps any other in relation to stu¬dent body life. It can be answered in few words. Council is as valu¬able as the students make it. Coun¬cil can be a wide awake, active, ag¬gressive organization or it can be a mere sham, a shadow that has no definite form or shape. What does council mean to you, fellow student? Has it an actual bearing on your student body life? If it has, then council is doing something. If it hasn't, then it is your fault. Let's make council a real organi¬zation. It takes the interest of every student to do it. No fourth or third of the student body can do it. Read the council bulletin when it is pub¬lished on Wednesday. It records the minutes of what is happening in your behalf. Take council seriously, mates. It is capable of doing very big things for you and for your welfare. THE EDITOR. Ogden Feb 6, 1930 . .

Things learned on earth, we shall practice in heaven; Works done least rapidly art most cherishes. —Browning. ELEVEN SCHOOL DAYS It is hard to believe but the Ac¬colade is now two weeks past. The same amount of time remains until the hop. Before you know it the hop will have come and gone and the Classlcalia will occupy the fore-most position in the minds of everyone. Don't fool yourself, ca¬dets. You can't wait another week before getting your date. If you want the choice of the pickings do the work now. At the hop two can live as cheaply as one. From an entirely mercenary standpoint you are rather foolish if you do not take advantage of the opportunity. At almost all other places, be they dances or what have you, two usually can live as cheaply as three. One dollar will admit you to one of the most beautiful and most well loved of the dances that make Ogden High so rich in wonderful memories and traditions. The night is the 21st, the day before Washington's birth¬day. Fall in line! ORATORICAL CONTEST Miss Stohl's call for people inter¬ested in the constitution contest was well answered. The plan this year is a new one. It calls for a main speech of only six minutes and an extemporaneous talk of four min-utes. This will require a more thorough knowledge of the subject at hand and will bring into play every ounce of ability that the con¬testant possesses. Miss Stohl and the English department will be glad to help you with your speeches, stu¬dents. Lets have a fine representa¬tion in this most worthwhile con-test. HAD YOUR PICTURE TAKEN? The Year Book staff is urging the students to have their pictures tak¬en for the Year Book early this year. If you co-operate, students, your pictures will be much better and the year book will be out in earlier and finer shape. Let's have the picture taken now. Jack Holden has his taken. Now he rivals Bob Parks for total percentage of popu¬larity gained. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Is the cadet! hop a formal dance? Are flowers! sent, and are the other niceties of formal parties indulged in? When is the sponsor banquet? Should the cadet officers take their spon-sors? AN OFFICER. Dear Officer: Judging from your comment and the manner in which you ask your questions you are a very mercenary officer whose rank is either that of a captain or higher. The hop is not really formal. The cadets all wear their uniforms, but civilians who attend always go in¬formally. Flowers are not usually sent, and a spirit of democracy which the military department al¬ways wants is prevalent. The girls had planned that the sponsors' banquet would be before the hop. However, due to circumstances caus- ' ed by the game which will be held I on the same night unless the date! can be changed, the sponsors will defer the pleasure until a more con¬venient date. I am quite sure that courtesy and good will requires that the officers accompany their spon¬sors to the hop. I might almost say, that being a military function, an officer is required to take his sponsor. Usually they consider it a. privilege to take her. You are a i queer one if you do not. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF Dorthea Healy is another of our would-be invalids. It is all due to the winter sports program, of course. These nice warm spring days are calling the fresh air boys to the out¬side during noon hour. You can see them basking in the sun, digesting their noon meals in front of the school. They are, however, not left to enjoy Old Sol in peace. The devil this time appears in the form of Rubber-arm Mayer. Hughie takes particular delight in heaving a nice oozing, slushy snowball at you when you are about three blocks away. Tough luck, gang. Our newly- found basketball shark, Stitt, has had the discomfort of having his ankle sprained. For Ogden High's sake, as well as your own, we wish you a speedy recovery. Dick McKey had a terrible fight with his conscience the other morning. He wanted so badly to say six men absent. But conscience won. It is quite a hindrance to have to suffer from qualms of con¬science, isn't it, Dick? |
