The pro¬gram consisted of two vocal solos, "Paradise" and "The Song of the Nile," by Rachel Meadoway; read¬ings, "Paint Heart," "A Lovely Scene" and "The Alarm," by Doro¬thy Watts; a piano solo by Lucille I Van Dyke, and two selections, "The Elegy" and "The First Simile." by the quintet. PAT. HEAR YE! Have you seen a little wistful, brown-eyed sponsor standing in the halls each noon, surrounded by an admiring group of cadets? If so, there is no doubt as to who will be your choice for queen. Students, it's only a few days now until you'll, have to vote for a girl to rule the Classicalia. And who' is more suited to this royal position than Nelda? Cast your votes for Nelda Allen, and elect a queen that Ogden High (Paid Political Ad.)

Longfellow. TOMORROW NIGHT Tomorrow night the cadets enter¬tain their ladies fair at the annual cadet hop. It promises to be the most beautiful hop ever held. The crack company is all primed for a fine show and Sarge Holloway is all primed to show the ladies a good time. So what more could you ask to have a perfect evening? Buy your tickets before you go to the dance, ) students. It relieves the R. O. T. C. of a great deal of worry and spec¬ulation. The hop committees urge that everyone in school attend whether he is a cadet or not and that we all back the cadets to the fullest. If you are a cadet please plan on wearing your uniform. The spirit of the tiling is lost without , the uniforms and militaristic spir- . it. ! NATIONAL CONTEST Are you interested in essay writ- , ing. fellow .student? If you are the f faculty urges that you try out for j the contest that is being sponsored by the national society of Colonial Daughters, a contest on patriotic es¬says. We are one of the hundred schools throughout the country ( which have been chosen to partici- 1 pate In this contest. It is a worth- while contest and well merits your attention. If you are Interested see J one of your English teachers about ] the rules. You will be glad you J availed yourself of the opportunity.! j kEEP O. H. S. CLEANER ( With the advent of spring the school authorities are making a drive to have the students aid in the general cleanup program. It will \ require the help of everyone to se- d cure for our .school cleanliness and t orderliness. The lawns are invited; § to your uttention. Please be more E careful about our grounds, for al- c though they are not exactly what 1 you would call beautiful they can at a lease be made neat and tidy. Don't e make paths across the lawns. Use the sidewalks; they were made for r the purpose. s This drive for cleanup cannot be urged too strongly, students. Let's have your entire cooperation and & support. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: — How is the queen for the Classi- w calia chosen? Are Juniors eligibile? u: How many maids are there and who te Is the maid of honor? Can anyone al put up a girl If they choose to do w 80? Sf INTERESTED JUNIOR Answer: The candidates are chosen by aL convention of delegates who aresu elected by their respective advisorj groups at a quota of one for every ten students. By a series of elim-! nations the candidates which the convention has chosen are voted on by the student body at large un¬til there remain but six or seven left. The two highest out of these are again voted on and the one win¬ning is queen while the other is maid of honor. The other six girls who were last eliminated are the j maids. Get behind the girl you are boost¬ing for and get her a following. Be sure she is a senior and the best giri in high school; then go ahead. The nominating must be done by the delegates but have a friend of yours nominate your choice if she isn't already nominated. AUNT JANE. OPEN SEASON ON QUEENS E. F. Smith has announced open season on. queens so here is your chance, girls, to start hypnotising and bewitching the student body at large. Let's have the most spirited contest ever to be held. Already some of the fellows are organizing to support their candidates. CHATTER AND CHAFF j The time has come when all J friendships cease and all the women ; i are out for blood. May the best ma—, I mean woman win. Slowly and more slowly the pic¬tures are coming into the year book staff's possession. Don't forget to I have yours taken soon. Remember you have to have an extra cut for I every extra time you have your pic¬ture in the year, so if you belong to all the clubs allowable and are the most popular man or woman in school you had better start saving your pennies because those extra cuts are 25 cents apiece. Do you know who is ace of cads? He is the guy who is doing the Butt's Manual the night of the hop and who takes a tailspin and finds him¬self gazing up into the stars. But if there is an ace of cads tomorrow night and "Sarge" finds it out he had better start saying his famous last words. CONGRESS Monday evening Congress held one of those snappy debates for which it - is so famous. Resolved, that the plea of temporary insanity as a defense in crime shall be abolished by law, was the argument debated. ' The decision was awarded to Dena ; Liapis and Leenore Ketchie of the affirmative. Maurine Israelson and Phyllis Fredrickson, the last member to be admitted this year, supported ! the negative. It was a very inter- . esting debate, and the debaters , showed their ability in dealing with ' this comparatively new subject. Remember, girls, we are looking for new material and welcome anyone interested in debating to our meet¬ing. MAURINE ISRAELSON. DOC STONE OUT With the prospects of having Doc . Stone in the game Saturday eve- \ ning the team is all primed to give r Weber the stiffest fight they have t ever had the displeasure of being on the losing end of. Let's all turn out to see the team win at Weber county, Saturday evening at 7:45 o'clock. " Be on hand early, students, to get « organized. FORUM . \ The meeting held February 17, i was the scene of a miniature repro- ( duction of the ancient Roman for¬um. Extemporaneous talks were i given on such weighty subjects as Einstein's theory of relativity, din- i osaurs, and the lassitudes of spring. The discussions were as enjoyable J as they were commendable for the enlightening information given. \ A committee was appointed to ar- range the details for the junior high \ school debates. The committee con- t sisted of Dee Br am well, chairman; . Beecher McConnell and Ellis Cra- $ gun. D. J. J GREGG ARTISTS Meeting called to order by President Losi Robinson. Mr. Farnsworth, one of our advisors, spoke to us concerning the future Provo con¬test; and, with the contest in mind, i all the members of the club are f working exceptionally hard to gain 1 speed and accuracy in our short- r hand notes. t We held a party Friday night at 1 Lois Robinson's home. Was it a I success. And how! SELMA ROSENTHAL. t 1 DEBATES Out of 20 students who gave speeches on the state question for debate last week the eight who were chosen are: Herbert Stewart, Durnell Richards, Ruth Ames, Dorothy Nelson, Preston Mulcahy, John Cawley, Dena Liapis and Doyle Jenson. In the first trial debate, the assign¬ments were: Affirmative upheld by Ruth Ames and Doyle Jenson, the negative by Dena Liapis and John Cawley. Later in the week the oth¬er trial debate, with Durnell Rich¬ards and Preston Mulcahy uphold¬ing the affirmative, and Dorothy Nelson and Herbert Stewart the neg¬ative, will take place. From these debates the six best will be chosen, four to debate and two to serve as: alternates. It will no doubt be dif¬ficult for the judges to choose the best, as every one of them is very good. They all have been working! very hard, and we congratulate them' and wish them luck.

CADET HOP TONIGHT Tonight is the night of the hop. Don't miss this beautiful dance, stu¬dents. It is just about as pretty a social as O. H. S. gives. "Sarge" has been working his head off to get things rounded up for the dance, but it seems that tickets are going too slowly. If this dance goes in the hole it won't make prospects very bright for continuing the hop. All you lovers of the hop certainly . wouldn't want such a thing to hap¬pen. However, there is no jesting with bills and debts and the mili¬tary department must break even. So, students, don't miss the hop. If you haven't a ticket now come down and buy one at the door. If you haven't a date don't let that inter¬fere. For about the first five dances one encore out of every dance will be a tag dance in order that the fellows on the team may get their share of dances. Be there at 9 o'clock and have the best time of your life. GAME TOMORROW NIGHT In order to oblige us and not make two school affairs come on one night Weber county high has generously consented to let the game be on Saturday evening. Both teams are ready to go. We, naturally, have the best team, or so we think. The only thing remaining now is to have the entire student body out there to cheer and yell. The band will be out in full array. With Doc Stone in the lineup we are fortified considerably. Now we have three I first class guards who are all very capable of doing tall things. Weber county has improved somewhat from when we last played them. It will be a fight to the finish and may Ogden win. I WANNAN O Wednesday evening was spent largely in making plans for the Classicalia and in drinking Don Bow¬man's copious supply of ginger ale. You can't guess what our garb will be at the Classicalia? Boy, they are going to sweep the school off its feet. We had extemporaneous j talks in the absence of our speaker and all enjoyed them very much. Most of the fellows can't get school spirit off their mind so a great number consisted in some phase of that much discussed but never dis¬cussed enough topic. CHATTER AND CHAFF Hod seems to be getting some art¬istic work done in the competition for snapshot editor. Jimmie DeVine has some wows. Virginia Hyde did not have to have her snapshot taken to make her picture a wow. Ask her to see the one where she is im¬personating the Indian lullaby. Jack Hilton, it seems, has gone in . to the baby tending business. He will take care of Hazel or any other Jittle child for ten cents an hour. EXHIBIT OF GRAPHIC ART The Girls' association of Ogden high school is sponsoring an exhibi¬tion of graphic art. It is now hang¬ing in the art room. This exhibit was brought here direct from the Print Makers society of Los Angeles, and is representative of the best work in the yearly exhibition at the Los Angeles museum. This yearly exhibition held at Los Angeles is one of the largest and most representa¬tive of its kind in America. The ex¬hibit is of varied subject matter and varied treatment, block prints, black and white and colored; etchings; dry points; and lithographs. The artists are men and women who are the best known and have the best rep¬utations in this kind of work in America and England The style is from conservative to modern in sub- ; ject. MADELINE MALAN. I "Darn the luck, I lost my program." Did you ever hear this said ! before, fellow students, about two days before the dances? If you did you know what a sluffer is. Famous last words: "What is this —a game?" BASKETBALL Weber added another victory to her already excellent record. Weber now occupies second place, and in order to take second place Ogden must defeat Weber Saturday on the Weber county floor. There has piways been a great deal of rivalry existing between Weber and the Og¬den high, We wish to take this op¬portunity to congratulate Weber, their team, and Coach Dick Thorne, ( on the wonderful sportsmanship and keen competition they have presented in all things. Don't for¬get to be on hand at 8:15 tomorrow night. The Weber Warriors are going to put up one of the subborn- est fights in their history, and we intend to do the same. WHAT PRICE DIRT? Scrubbing to the tune of our room's song: Scrub, scrub, scrub; Dig out the mud: Peel the dirt off the woodwork; Scrape the cobwebs off the roof; Pour on some water; Lather a rag with soap; Come on, so our teacher, Will have no cause to mope. Working and singing in our dim- lighted room, we, the second period English students of Mrs. Cham-bers, bravely battled against the worser elements. Long and hard fought was the battle, but finally, when aid arrived—several buckets of clean, hot water—with a su¬preme effort we made a last charge and three tons of mud went swirl¬ing and gurgling out of the window. (P. S.—Another ton went out on the persons of the valiant warriors.) KIWANIANS SURPRISED Ogden's high's quartet composed of Frank Graestit, Walter Foulger, Elmer Broome and Max Clark, gave the Ogden Kiwanis club a surprise and a real treat at Thursday's luncheon. The boys were generous¬ly complimented on their fine sing¬ing. A. D. M. President Edith Konold called the meeting to order last Wednesday. The program was arranged by Myrtice Evans. It seems that she was disappointed with some of her num¬bers. Mr. Oberhansley would have had his name in the paper if he had come when he promised to speak, but as he did not appear we will not print his name. Arlene Hampton sang two songs, and Mickey Wedell favered us with a reading. (She said it was extemporaneous but we have our doubts.) Another all-interesting subject that we discussed was our party for Saturday at Althea's. If we don't have fun it will be nobody's busi¬ness. We will see all of you at the game Saturday where we are going to root for our deserving team. LOIS ROBINSON, Reporter. COUNCIL Council was called to order by President Stewart. The minutes were read and corrected. E. S. Smith then informed Council about the Classicalia. After a brief ex¬planation of the "queen" contest and of the committees, he asked that he be allowed to organize the Classi¬calia. It was moved and seconded that Mr. Smith be given entire au¬thority to do those things for the Classicalia that he has done in for¬mer years. The motion was passed. A. D. M. was granted a party for February 22. President Stewart pre¬sented a report on the sale of polar pies by the orchestra at the last game. The report was accepted by a motion. It was moved and sec¬onded that we take the business concerning the Weber-Ogden bas¬ketball from the table. The motion was passed. Wallace Manning re-ported that the game had been changed to Saturday, February 22. It was moved and seconded that this report be accepted. The motion was passed. Mr. Manning also re¬ported that the basketball players could attend the cadet hop until 9:30 o'clock. It was moved and sec¬onded that a vote of thanks be ex¬tended to all members of the bas¬ketball team who are willing to do away with this pleasure in order that they may play in the game Sat¬urday. The motion was passed. It was moved and seconded that all club representatives shall report next meeting as to the members from their clubs for the Classicalia. The motion was passed. Hod Nebeker gave all the particulars of the pic- i tures for the year book and ex¬plained that they must be in my March 1. It was moved and second¬ed that all club representatives shall report in detail to their clubs about these pictures. The motion was passed. Council then adjourned. RADER DEEGAN, Secretary. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: In bidding for the Classicalia booths who participates? May any group of students? Do the classes bid for the booths? Do the clubs? How high do the bids generally go? A number of the different groups would appreciate this information. JUST ME. Dear "Just Me": So glad that numerous groups in school are interested in the bidding for Classicalia booths. We have the following information direct from the Classicalia committee and sin¬cerely hope that it answers your ; questions satisfactorily. Any group in school may bid for Classicalia booths if they have the price. In the past practically all classes, clubs, and orgnizations in the school have participated in the bidding and hot competition has been manifest. We should like very much to see the larger class groups and the R O T. C. unit enter the bidding again this year. ; The booths are auctioned in as¬sembly and the price various from $75 to $500 depending upon the as-sets of the organizations. This does not mean that the club is required to pay the total of the bid. Only one-tenth of the bid is required. If, for instance, a club bids $300 they j pay but $30 and must make the deposit in full at time of bidding. Their bid of $300 is accepted merely as an advance guess on what they contemplate to make on their con¬cession. The Classicalia committee fur¬nishes decorations for the booth and stocks it, assuming all financial re- sponbility. Any club clearing more than their bid is entitled to the ex¬cess but this has been done but once in history and then the class re¬fused the excess, awarding it to the Classicalia fund. A feature that makes it very de¬sirable tor clubs to bid is the fact that, where the price actually paid by any one group is in excess of $10 that group is awarded a full page . in the year book free of charge. |
