Mr. Hanson Is well pleased with the progress being made by the opera cast and the chorus work. The opera will be presented on the eighteenth of this month. The cast will certainly have their hands full to get through with a polished pro- t UChl?n i t,me' ,rhe opera Washington Junior High school auditorium 1 et's ON SCHOOL SPIRIT. 8ome students have a miscon-1 strurd view of school spirit. School ' J spirit, contrary to the belief of sonic, does not consist in great dis- :i plays of colors or cheering or in great expenditures of money or in noble words and morallzings alone. It consists m that far more funda¬mental spirit that comes from the silent but fine support of adminis¬tration in their attempts to teach uato do and fc right, to make our tan Into a rciobaT fhesliglitest11 provocation. Let us have students Who know the worth of true spirit awl who realize that demonstrations and i 'ivitlcs do not make lor tli :h it type of school spirit and that 1: ;h school is still a place for personal betterment and uplift; not a place to put in time so we can r up In order that the night's rest will be more peaceful and en- , lloyable. During the past weeks 1 there have been rumors of sluff clay and uproars in assemblies. These things may be all right in place but their place has cer¬tainly burned down some time ago. j . s realize that we are the losers j 1 When we are destructive, not the j j more mannish'"nor" womanishtobe j so. Rather let us make the class of! 30 a class revered by honest en- dcavor and students who do the light thing regardless of the views i I of the mob or of a few who are f wronging themselves. AUNTJANE'S CORNER Several students have wondered i why, in classes that do not require recitation and in the library, why : the radio cannot be turned on part of the time at least. Could you help ' us out? With the hot days and long ; study periods it seems to me that the radio could certainly be put to —A Student. Your letter is typical of a num¬ber taat have been received by the Notes lately for unswering. Perhaps Mr. Student, you would be as tired a of the j&zz or the talking of a radio f; I announcer as you now are of silence i j if you had to listen to it for long Iwery day. Some students may be e able to study to the tune of "Turn i On the Heat." But few of us are I ' endowed with that super concentra- t Uon so that we can work Latin or math problems or read Milton to p the tune of some jazz record. If you see It in this light you will i realize that high school is not e aoel n noct to wea ] IN LOGAN CONTEST. Apparently Mr. Farnsworth does not think that the blue and white banner and the silver loving cup carried off by the commercial teams in the Utah state commercial con¬test are sufficient means to satisfy the deserved honors of the teams. These two awards are to have com¬pany. Mr. Farnsworth has decided ' to enter the teams in the A. C. contest in Logan on May 2, and he is sure that they can do just as well if not better than they did a few weeks ago in the state com¬mercial contest in Provo. We hope so, and we extend our best wishes to the teams and Mr. Farnsworth. CONGRESS. Monday evening Forum members decided they had procrastinated long enough and challenged Con- i „ gress to the traditional Forum-Congress debate. The challenge was I accepted, and a definite date will j be announced later, ji An especially heated debate was 'I given at the meeting. Those who '! participated were Virginia True and Ruth Ames on the affirmative and I Phyllis Fredrickson and Maurine I Israelson on the negative. The nega- tive was awarded the decision on, the question, Resolved: That the federal government should legalize the sale of light wines and beer. A discussion followed, and several alumnae offered criticisms. Congress then adjourned. —Maurine Israelson. Ogden High School News Apr. 10, 1930 Fame is not a plant of mortal soil."—Milton. OPERA PRACTICE The opera cast is practicing al¬most night and day in order that they will be in form to give us the best presentation Ogden High has had in its history of splendid operas and we have certainly had some fine ones. Students, don't fail to attend the opera this year. It will be pre¬sented on or about May 1 in the Washington Junior High school auditorium. Let's all attend and give Mr. Hanson a return for his ef¬forts in making music one of Ogden High's finest student body activities. JUNIOR PROM Not many weeks remain until the prom. If you haven't got your date, students, do so now. Don't wait un¬til there is a fire sale at the last minute. Get your date at the ad¬vance sales. Girls, if you like, your party dresses are in order at the prom and in as much as most of the girls would rather wear them, no objections will be made. Juniors and seniors! Leave your formality home and don't send flowers. CHATTER AND CHAFF Harold Ipson is back at school after a week-end of hilarity. His father doubts his sincerity when Harold told him that he was feel¬ing absolutely sober, but that young Peery forgot that he was driving. Ipson's face is a sight for sore eyes. If you want a treat, gaze at him for two hours. Nebeker has to buy a ticket to the prom. Now isn't that just too bad. Dad Beeson is in spring training. He is wearing a spring suit that is especially becoming to him. Wanted: A man with a cruel heart who will get rid of four dogs before the inspection. Generous re-ward. R. O. T. C. Once each week the battalion forms oh Monroe avenue for parade. These parades are to get us in form for the big parade down on taber¬nacle square on May 7. Drill is progressing rapidly amid the bawl¬ing out of Sarge Holloway and the hardboiledness of some of the cadet officers. The senior companies are rounding quickly into shape and there promises to be some serious competition to fleece B company out of a third victory. The captains are so jealous that they can't look at each other and keep a straight face. Ada, Iras and Perry are so worried over the outcome that will come in-evitably, by Bob Barker's company winning the cup. COUNCIL - Council was called to order by j President Stewart. The minutes were read and approved. The fol- ; lowing clubs were granted parties: j Carpe Diem, April 19; H. C. and We j 13, each for April 12. Foss Heiner I reported that he had been appoint- I ed on the committee for the smoke¬less smoker, but that he did not have a report to submit for this committee. This report was tabled until next meeting by a motion. Ben Cartwright reported that it would be impossible to get the Weber gym tennis courts for our tournament, but the courts of the Ogden Tennis club can be fixed with the co-operation of the students in¬terested in this branch of athletics. It was moved and seconded that this report be accepted. The motion was passed. It was moved and sec¬onded that the tennis committee be given full power to act and to take any steps necessary for our tourna¬ment. The motion was passed. Council then adjourned. RADER DEEGAN, Secretary. FORUM It won't be long now! Forum has given the needed impetus, and the battle of the year will soon begin. With the issuance of a challenge to Congress allowing for a question to debate and time arrangements, Forum has commenced to marshal ! the four debaters who will apply the final words. Indications of vic¬tory are better than ever before. Congress beware! The annual Forum assembly plans are receiving perfecting additions. From what we have, this original entertainment is going to cause some littlexcitement D.J.

WE 13 VERSUS I WANNON O In a recent game between We 13 and I Wannon O, the aviators were made to watch the ball take some flights that weren't entirely off their own bat. The scientists are out to skin the high flyers again and con¬sequently in the next two games which will decide the championship there will be some hot competi¬tion. At a hike of I Wannon O's on Sunday, We 13 has been invited along to chaperone the affair and to afford some amusement in the form of another game. Few clubs have evinced such a warmth of fel¬lowship as have these two. PARTING GIFT TO SCHOOL Each year the departing class .has left some token of memory. Last year for the first time no material gift was made. Let's not have this, splendid effort go put of existence. Plans were made last year to leave to the following classes a handbook of O. H. S., but good intentions were as far as things went. EARLY BIRD CATCHES WORM With only seven weeks left in the school year it might be well to con¬sider candidates for next year's stu¬dent body president. As you know there is an election each spring, about May 1, to name student body officers for the coming school year. It is never too early to start think¬ing who you want for these jobs. A lot depends on the student body of¬ficers. Few have been, as fine as Herb, Pat and Rader. Next year's officers will have to do some tall hustling to compete with ours of this year. Campaigning for Herb was started by a group in the mid¬dle of school year and at time of election he practically had things cinched. So talk up your candidate and let's send into office for next year three students as capable as this year's group. TRACK TRAINING \ Down at Davis on Wednesday, Og¬den High certainly proved that even ; j lack of cinder tracks can't keep a; i good team down. Jimmy DeVine I looked mighty sweet at the hurdles j and bid fair to do some tall things I i for us at the state meet. Hoggan _ walked away with the half mile, while Junior Cazier did big things in the 440. The. short races have some fine material. Porky Greenwell and Duane Darling proved that 1 they run on air. In the weights ; Hugh Mayer and his cohorts are - doing big things. It looks like a 1 banner year for Ogden High at track. , CHATTER AND CHAFF Trading of pictures is at its j height. Mr. Merrill is having eight f dozen taken especially for some of \ his admirers and Dad Beeson says! j he simply can't get a photographer \ who can keep him supplied. Rader Deegan is having a picture taken the size of a billboard so that some on can gaze out of the window and see a photo that does him justice, a likeness of his noble map. j Jim DeVine says he got his speed from riding street cars. If that's ] the case the Utah Rapid Transit will have a number of customers ]; right soon. ; Joe Foley believes that the only 1 one who should take a person seri- 1 ously is that person himself. Beecher McConnell was found the other morning' on the corner of : i Twenty-sixth street and Brinker ; . avenue, a half block from his home, I in his car which had run out of gas. ! Beecher had been there all night . but had refused to budge an inch. L Did you ever see a gopher gopher a gopher hole? If not you should come up to the Girl Scout camp next Sunday and see Ed Smith call a j home run on your humble servant.j GIRLS' ASSEMBLY j On Wednesday morning the girls j were given still another proof of just, l how much the Girls' association is ; 1 doing for them. It was another r splendid assembly where the musical and dancing numbers were novel and enjoyable, and the talk on "charm" was sparkling with interest and crisp expression. The program wa« as I follows: Piano solo, Virginia Sanders; community singing, led by ; Nora Hawkins, assisted by Miss Schofield at piano; talk, "Charm," ' Mrs. Chambers; vocal solo, Hazel " Schenk; tap dance, Phyllis Sumiun, 5 Marion Brown, Julia Kane and Ortel Aadneson; violin solo, Audrey Clayton. The program was in charge of the j junior girls, with Eloise Brewer and I Nora Hawkins as the committee. Everyone on the program was a s junior. It is evident we have some " excellent material for our senior girls next year. LIBRARY USEFUL Very few of the students appre- , ciate the wonderful opportunities of- fered by our library. This library f ' affords a wide selection of reading material as well as references for J various studies. Most of our books e are the result of generous donations i by individuals or groups of indi¬viduals who were really interested in the high school and the students. 5; These donations were given with the idea of helping the students to achieve more in the way of intel- v lectual advancement and amuse- ment. We hope you will kindly keep V this in mind when you are using the books distributed by the library, and give the books the best of care. And it would be a great hek to our capable librarian, Mrs. Raymond, if s the students would replace their .1 f ! books instead of leaving them scat- b j tered over the desks. Please co- _ operate with the school and reserve f what meagre supply of books we s have. Ogden High School Notes Apr. 14, 1930 OPERA With only about three weeks re- maining until the presentation of I the opera, the cast is laboring hard, i night and day until its production.. The opera is "The Marriage of Nanette," a delightful production that will thoroughly entertain you. It is as colorful and tuneful as "Sweethearts," which is saying a lot. j Start saving your shekels now. Your student body tickets, as usual, will admit you. If you desire the best seats an additional minimum fee will be charged. Don't forget to make arrangements to attend. Let s have the entire student body in at¬tendance. GRADUATION IN VIEW On May 29, the class of 1930 will go forever beyond the doors of O. H S. Commencement exercises will be held in the morning at 10 o'clock. There is a great deal of speculation about who will be valedictorian, salutatorian and class orator. Who do you think it should be, fellow stu¬dents? , . ..... With only six weeks and a little over, we seniors get sort of glum and feel rather insignificant when we view the life we are going into, when high school days are over. Let's make the few remaining weeks TDig ones. PROM NOT TWO WEEKS AWAY On Friday, April 25, the junior prom will be held at the Berthana. Tickets are seventy-five per couple for everyone. You will know how fine party the prom is. Help the juniors to make it a huge success. No one who attended the prom last year would ever think of missing this year's prom. Juniors, make this dance a financial success. If you do, it will be the first time it has been done in years. WE 13 IS VICTOR In a pitchers' battle that see-saw- pd back and forth for nine innings, We 13 finally won by 12 to 11 over I-Wannan-O team at the I-Wan- nan-O outing in South Fork on Sun¬day Bill De Hart was what We 13 needed .and behind his stellar pitch¬ing and the general fine defensive play of the aviators, I'Wannan-O was finally beaten. Junior Cazier pitched for the scientists. His work was very fine. Also, we can't over-look the eagle eye of Umpire Ed Smith. This game was the first of a series of three to be played in the near future. The winners of the series are the guests of the victims at a sword scene. GIRLS' HIKE Hear ye! Hear ye! On Saturday morning, April 12, thirty-four indus¬trious, healthy-looking girls arrived at school to go with Miss Schofield up the well-known old Indian trail. After leaving Twenty-fifth street the girls started on the long up¬ward climb. Going over a few of the large rocks two girls, who got lost, did a human fly act over the rocks, lunches between their teeth. ! These dare-devils were Eloise Brewer and Marval Middleton. After traveling for about a half hour our eyes fell on the cool water of El Monte and finally the trail led down a very narrow path. Two or three of the girls slid down the remainder of the mountain. Some of the girls had beaten the others down and had their feet in the water and were splashing around ' as if they had a right to when the - stream had finally been reached by . the slower traveling ones. Here Roberta Stevens and Flora . Goddard proved to be the best eat- i i ers on this hike, at least they car¬ried the biggest lunches and got I away with it all. After the repast we posed around the waterfall to have our picture taken. Then on again, down the ravine, till we reached Ogden canyon by the Peery camp. Down that long hot road to El Monte our lagging feet then led us. We counted our shekels and could scare up but a quarter each, but through the kind¬ness of the powers that be, all went swimming. We soon got clean and comfortable again, but more tired, so Mrs. Hawkins met us with her
