BUS FOR DAVIS GAME The student body counsel has au¬thorized the chartering of a bus for the Davis game. The band will be at the game and the team is all set to give Davis a troucing for their narrow victory at the last game. Let's all get tickets and go on the bus to Davis. A faculty member will be along to see that the driver isn't killed or the bus stolen.' The fare will probably be under fifty cents. BOYD SPEAKS FRIDAY In the We 13 assembly on Fri¬day next the speaker will be Tallmage (Tom) Boyd, former student body president of the Ogden high school and more recently commis¬sioned second lieutenant at Kelly flying field. Those who know Tom are looking for his talk to be one of the big treats in assembly this year. We 13, the flying groundhogs, are in charge, and some fine mu¬sic and entertainment is in order. Above all for the sake of giving a fine fellow and a great student body president a big hand be on the job in assembly Friday. GUINEVERE FOR QUEEN There are some girls who just nat¬urally stand out above all others. One such girl is Guinevere Hess. She was assistant editor of the Quarterly last year and is vice president of the Girls' association this year. Besides doing big things for the student body she is sponsor of G company and belongs to two clubs. You can't cite any girl with a better record for doing things for the student body. And if you know this charm¬ing miss you know one of the finest, sweetest girls up for queen. She should make a queen of queens. Vote for Guinevere for queen! (Political Advertisement, Unpaid) AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: What kind of costumes are ap¬propriate to wear to the Classicalia? I think it would be appre¬ciated by the student body if you could tell what kind are desired and what kind are not. A CLASSICALIA BOOSTER. Dear Classicalia Booster: Almost any kind of costume is proper to wear to the Classicalia. The more individual you are the more unique a costume you will be able to concoct. It is a matter of individual choice as to what kind of costume you wish to wear but I think of some unusual kind of cos¬tume that so far hasn't been thought of. Of course, vulgar cos¬tumes are undesirable. Such garbs as boys dressed in girls' clothing or vice versa are not at all original and no one should consider wear¬ing them. A prize is to be given to the most original costume. This is a good time for the "individuals" !: around school to strut their stuff and show the school what a real genius is like. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF Wanted: A cushion for Bob Van Dyke. Bob is tired of sitting on ' hard wooden benches and says he won't play if he can't be made comfortable. Chance would be a good thing. It is a tough state of affairs when 1 robbers are so plentiful, and so hard up that they can't find banks enough to loot Without trying to 1 blow up the O. H. S. office in an attempt to find either pecuniary aid or an old examination paper that they didn't want mamma to see. Warning to all future offenders: If 1 you are looking to rob for money go 1 to Chicago, they have lots of it! I there. They also have a lot in tto 5 United States mint. Do you think that if there was any extra money hanging around they wouldn't put to ; work by buying ink and paper for the litttle boys and girls at school? Have you seen the art exhibits in Mr. Stewart's and in Mrs. Irwin's rooms? They are well worth your time and you will be much repaid for the effort. ONE-ACT PLAYS On the night of Friday, March 14, the dramatic art classes in cooper¬ation with the Girls' association will ! present four one-act playsi They sincerely request your support and promise you some fine entertain- - ment. These plays will be given at the Central junior auditorium. The admission will be fifteen cents each or two for twenty-five cents. Let's have the entire student body behind this worthy cause. BROTHERS AND SISTERS The Hopkins family is noted at Ogden high through the Works of four of its members. First, the wel known superintendent, Mr. Hopkins who has done a great deal in the ad¬vancement of our welfare. Then S Karl Hopkins, who graduated two years ago. Karl was a big noise about school, and believe us, if you ever have heard him debate, you know how big a noise he was. Georgia was one of those sweet young maids who gave her life to her school, a leading light of Carpe Diem. She graduated last year. Georgia is at Weber college and S. Karl is attending the University of Utah. John, the last member we consider, is now the only Hopkins member at Ogden high. He is a junior and promises us big things i next year. It's some family, that Hopkins brood. CONGRESS The debate at our meeting Mon¬day evening again proved the argu¬mentative ability of the senators. The question was, "Resolved, that national advertising as now car¬ried on is both socially and eco- j nomically harmful." The speakers were Jeanette Parry and Dorothy Watts on the affirmative, and Phyllis Fredrickson and Leah Farr on the negative. No decision was given. The senators are skilled not only in debating as has been shown by the team chosen to debate the state question, but also in oratory, four of the members having won orator¬ical places. Having these successes to our credit, the achievement of our ambitions is being fulfilled. —M. I. NATIONAL CONTEST Principal Men-ill has been asked by the Salt Lake Tribune to act again as chairman of the national constitutionl essay contest in the Ogden district. The district com¬prises the following high school: Ogden, Weber, Davis, Box Elder, Bear River and Logan high. The district finals are to be held some time between March 14 and March 21 at Ogden. COUNCIL Council was called to order by President Stewart. The minutes were read and approved. Tennis commit¬tee-reported that due to the fact that Superintendent Hopkins is out of town, nothing has been done. It was moved and secr-M that this report be tabled until next meet¬ing.

It was mov¬ed and seconded that a committee of three be appointed to write on the bulletin boards the details of the buses that have been chartered for the Davis game. The motion was passed. The committee consisted of Dena Liapis, Charlene Scowcroft and Henry Aiken. It was moved and seconded that a committee be ap- 7! pointed to see Mr. Merrill about .having a pep assembly on Thursday. The motion was carried. The mo¬tion was amended to read that the student body president should be this committee. The amendment was passed. It was moved and sec¬onded that the dramatic art club and the Girls' association be allow¬ed to give four one-act plays on March 14 at the Central junior high school. It was moved and seconded that a special senior day and junior day be set. The motion was passed. , Council then adjourned. ) RADER DEEGAN, Secretary. March 7, 1930 OGDEN . .

The ijst opportunity for the student body to see the 1930 basketball team in action is this evening. Let's all make th3 utmost endeavor to go down to Davis to help the team de¬feat Davis, the outstanding team of the divison. Last time we played Davis they beat us by one point after three extra periods of play. The fellows are gunning to avenge' hat defeat tonight. If you want jO help them out, be on hand at 3avis. The sixth man is one of' the biggest factors in winning any basketball game. The fellows will need your support to put that ex¬tra ounce of spirit into them that somehow turns defeat into victory and failure into success. Basketball -james may be compared to life as ; a whole. Many victories in life are won on sheer pluck and grit alone. Others are defeated because they lack that last ounce of extra pep that make for victory. The extra punch in the game tonight, stu¬dents, is you. Don't fail to do your bit to cheer for the best team Og¬den High could produce and the i finest bunch of fellows on any team anywhere. VIRGINIA CLAY ILL One of Ogden High's most prized students and finest girls is seriously ill with the results of an operation for appendicitis. The student body misses vou. Virginia; we wish you j, speedy recovery. (Note): Mr. Beeson's fifth period Trig class is having a deucedly hard time of it without your help. Mr. Beeson needs the fen inine influence to hold him in. CLASSICALIA NEWS The Classicalia committee is work¬ing hard in an attempt to make the Classicalia of 1930 the biggest and best dance in the history of O. H. S. The plan of procedure this year is the "Home-coming Idea." If you have any desire to see the beautiful queens for years past, don't fail to be on hand at the Classicalia, the night of nights. The lucky miss who is queen this year will certain¬ly get one big break by being ruler of the finest Classicalia in the his¬tory of dances. Buy a block of tickets and bring the family, friends, mothers-in-law, or any others you can drag along. WORK ON OPERA Tryouts for leads in the opera will be held in the very near fu¬ture. Work on the choruses has started already and Mr. Hanson promises us a fine production. We wish you success, Mr. Hanson, and hope you get the co-operation of the entire student body. Students, it will be well worth your while to make an effort to try for the opera this year. There are some colorful songs and the plot is great. Do your bit to further the school's interests. There are a number of excellent monotone parts, so you don't have to have an especially good voice to turn the trick. LIKE THE CLASSICUM? The Ogden High student body wishes to congratulate the quarter¬ly staff on a splendid issue and hope their final number will be as fine. Few editors and staffs have brought to the student body as fine a publication as have this year's staff. The cover is especially good and the literary merit of the carni¬val issue is splendid. O. H. S. cer¬tainly looks forward to this publica¬tion and would certainly hate to see it cut down or ceased. CHATTER AND CHAFF Rader is planning on bringing the queen down from the regal throne the night of the Classicalia. If he should, students get a good glance at his costume. It will be a wow. Bill Smiley is back at school. Is this the ninth or tenth year? Bill's ambition in life is to graduate in ten years. Some people predict that he'll do it in eight. The "caydets" are now on the home stretch. Watch them strut be¬tween now and inspection. If you see any officer come in from drill with a bum lamp or a pair of dia- lated nostrils it can be attributed to the fact that "Sarge" is gunning for any Officer who "doesn't know his , stuff." Report cards will be out next week; that won't be ths only thing ! that'll be out when some of the grades are seen by fond paters and maters. COURT SESSION "Order, please," and Judge Konold tapped on her stand with the i hammer. "What are the cases to be presented to the court this af- ternoon?" was the question asked by the judge. I Lawyer Myrtice Evans, who spoke ! in behalf of the criminals, rose and with a grave, "Your Honor," intro¬duced the victims. "First, Yvonne Pierce and Charlene Scowcroft vs. the people, are charged with sing¬ing and playing before the public." The judge looked solemnly at the two small girls and said: "Case dismissed, the charge is frivolous. Next." "Your Honor," began Miss Chesney, but was interrupted by the judge's "Order, please, wait until your defendant has properly intro¬duced you to the court." Miss Chesney was squelched. The result was that she was convicted and sen¬tenced to teach atin in high school for talking out loud. The third case, that of Ruth Ames vs. the public, was brought be¬fore the judge and allowed to go free. The charge against her was giving a reading in a school club. Court then was dismissed in order that the judge might go fishing. —Lois Robinson, Court Reporter.

D AVIS high school courtiers of Kaysville captured the Ogden division championship and the G. L. Becker trophy last night, by defeat¬ing Ogden high, 36 to 16, in their J "—X closing league \ encounter. This i \ event was staged on the Kaysville - court. m, .1 Weber high, s : 1 .coached by Dick Thorne, finished mSizi, as runner-up in the division, by defeating Bear River against trie Tigers and were , never headed. They turned in one of their best performances of the season. Fernelius, Smith and Wilcox were the big guns for the Davis five. Stitt, Hilton arid Mayer played well for the "Orange Streaks." Three members of the Weber team offered a unique scoring bee in their event with the Bears. McEntire led his mates with 25 points With Chan¬dler a close second with 23 and Hunter third with 20. Van Kampen and Barker on the guard line turned in nice perform¬ances. For the Leo Walker five the Work ; of Helt and Bishop was outstanding. Weber, as runner-up, must meet the winner of tiie Rich division tn order to gain a place in the gtate tournament. In past years the Og¬den runner-up has always trouhced i the Rich winner and this rule j should not be changed this season, as Weber was one of the strongest teams in the history of the loop. Davis and Weber should represent the Ogden sector splendidly in the state joust. Scores: DAVIS G. T. F. P. 1 Wilcox, rf 4 0 0 8 ' Fernelius, If 4 2 2 10 ' Swaner, c 1 4 1 3 Smith, lg 3 3 3 9 ' L.
