Show engagement for his stay at high school. He starred at center in football and was generally acclaimed as one of the best guards in the region in basketball. Les last year was a track man. He has been in council two years as a senior and junior class representative. He ran against Herb Stewart in the finals for student body president. As a major in the R. O. T. C. he has climbed I to one of the highest positions in that department of activity. Les [mustjje seriously considered for a block O. He has given a lot to O. H. S. CHATTER AND CHAFF. Frannie Foley claims he could hit better if he had a telephone pole. That's all right, Frannie. We couldn't hit one of Ellis' benders with a tennis racquet. Col. Cunningham is reminded of a nursery rhyme which goes,- "A diller, a dollar, a 10 o'clock scholar, what makes you come so soon. You used to come at 7 o'clock and now you come at noon." Grades came out today. Fair but somewhat unsettled is the condition some students appeared to be in as parents put the family O. K. on the report card. Dick McKey's famous last words are: "Put a penny on a drum, pay my bail, pay my bail," Bob Parks got a frog in his throat the other morning when he was yelling his orders. He thought he was Galli Curci and got about up to F sharp three octaves above middle C. WE 13 WINS TREAT. In the final game of a two out of three series We 13 took the sec¬ond straight game from I Wannon to win a bottle of pop and a graham cracker from the scientists. The game was 6 to 4 and was on. ice all the time until the last half of the last inning. I 'Wannon held the upper hand throughout the game until We 13 went n a bat¬ting spree and when El Stoker walked two men in the last inning. The score at the end of the fifth inning was two to four in favor of ; I Wannon O. It surely looked dark for the air-minded. But they gritted their teeth and by snappy pitching of Bill De Hart and tight support by his mates they blanked their opponents for the rest of the game and finally came out on top. It was a battle of spirit and the su¬periority of neither team was mark¬ed to any extent. ENGLISH TESTS. Examinations are coming thick and fast these days, and they will probably come faster than ever in the few weeks remaining. All seniors are advised to study up on the various phases of English in preparation for the English test which is sent out each year by the University of Utah. This test in¬cludes all branches of English such as word diction, grammar, punctua¬tion, and literature. This test is compulsory. As yet the exact date of the test has not been set, but it will be held during May and will occupy an entire day. Last year Ogden High made a fine record in all of these tests with the exception of literature. Every senior should make it his or her duty to improve his knowledge of this subject, and thus, assist in making Ogden High one of the highest ranking schools in the state. In most colleges and universities these tests are accept¬ed as entrance tests providing an agreeable and passing mark is made In addition to the English test there will be a state test in chem¬istry and physics. CONGRESS. A debate was held Monday eve¬ning with two of the waiting list participating. The question was, Resolved, That the eighteenth amendment should be repealed Imogene Locke and Phyllis Fredrickson of the affirmative won the de¬cision from Leah Farr and Helen McKay The Forum-Congress debates will take place May 5 and 12. The ques¬tion is, Resolved, That air service should be made a unit separate from the army and navy depart¬ment for maintaining national de¬fense. The congress team will not be announced until a later date This promises to be an interesting event, and no follower of forensic , activities should miss it.

ASSEMBLY At a surprise assembly on Wednes¬day morning we were royally enter- \ tained by a talk by a Hoosier girl, ] Miss Imogene Warder, whose trav- 1 els in Europe would thrill greater 1 audiences than ours. She told her ' experience in a way that fascinated J everyone to the heart. For two years Miss Warder was in Europe travel- 1 ing as she chose in the byways of 1 Europe. STUDENT BODY ELECTIONS Students, don't fail to keep your , eye on the student body elections. , Form your just opinions and work : for the success of your choice. Let's have the most well informed student body ever, to make the best man or woman win. Turn into the Notes your views of why your choice should win. Publicity is a main fac¬tor in the success of an election. OPERA More and more smoothly the opera runs. The choruses are working at double time and the leads are get¬ting a sort of worried look from staying up late and starting early. They also worry whether Mr. Rob-inson will lower the boom on them or not. The trio which sang in as¬sembly on Wednesday morning gave proof of the fineness of their voices. Seldom has the music department had such splendid material to work with. Don't fail to reserve your seat at the first possible chance. ______ CHATTER AND CHAFF Hugh Mayer told Colonel Cunningham the other morning at offi¬cers' school that an outpost was what lamps were hung from. Some of the lovers in America would be much chagrined if their fair ladies only could be moved at a distance and that a rose was their only reward for crooning "Turn on the Heat." Ted Mattson sho' has hard luck— his chassis is all out of line from hit¬ting a milk wagon the other morn-ing. We wonder if he was coming or going? We 13 hasn't decided whether they will take boiled humming birds or roasted swan's tongues. Maybe they won't have the privilege of decid¬ing. Rowland Corry is in a dilemma. If he should ask you to sing in assembly don't take it as a compli¬ment. He's just plumb out of ideas. THE OPEN DOOR On the hill is opened A shining golden door, A welcome song is echoed Above where bluebirds soar. i A tiny golden archway Of green, of gold, of blue; Charming flowery archway Sprinkled with drops of dew. This green, this lovely gate, Oh, splendor of this strand, This shining golden gateway 1 Is op'ed for maiden spring. GARNET BRADSHAW. PROM APPROACHES Tomorrow night is only twenty- four hours off. Tomorrow is your last chance to get a date and turn out for the biggest but best dance in O. H. S. history. Get tickets from Barney Olfield (Richard McKey), Abraham Lincoln (Hod Nebeker), or any of a score of juniors and seniors who are all trying to use their supersalesmanship to sell most tick¬ets. All must be there. COLLEGE DAYS Each year it is the custom of the universities of Utah to hold a se¬niors' day to which all seniors of high schools in the state are invited to attend. There are contests held in which the seniors or representa-tives of the school may enter. All students should make arrangements to attend either of the two unversi- ties on the respective senior days. There is plenty of amusement and various contests to occupy the entire day. This day is an education in itself. All who are not planning on attending the senior day at Logan should arrange ahead of time to at¬tend the "U" day at Salt Lake. This is an event which few can afford to miss. COUNCIL The Council meeting was called to order with Eleanor Stevens presid- j. ing. The minutes were read and ap- a proved.

It was moved and seconded that this committee have full f power to advertise and do anything else that is necessary. Miss Stevens asked the club presidents to hand in their six weeks' report. It was mov- + ed and seconded that unless the , clubs who have no constitutions J 1 remedy this situation by next meet- ( ing or they will be suspended. The , motion was passed. Mrs. Irwin call- ' ed attention to the student body j elections. It was moved and second- , ed that the student body officers be 1 a committee to handle the election of next year's officers.

Tonight the juniors traditionally give the seniors a farewell send-off.: Tonight is traditionally the mostj hallowed and loved of all student body activities. Students, don't fail to turn out for the prom en masse. If you haven't a date, come anyway. Roland Corry will lead the grand march. Hod Nebegker, last year's president, will lead in the drinking of the punch. STUDENT BODY ELECTIONS On Wednesday after school the student body convention met and out r of an extremely close field the usual a five candidates for each office were e chosen. The three offices are president of the student body, vice president of the student body, and secretary. When you make your final choice, students, use your best se- r lection and take the elections as se- i riously as possible. The power of the student body officers to make or ! to break the spirit of the student I body is great. Put in t&ree students e ! who will be a credit to themselves -' and to the school. LEWIS CONTEST I In a preliminary to the Lewis oratorical conest on Wednesday 1 evening after school, Iras Leavitt 5 and Raymond Raty won from the other five students whose orations . were of much excellence. The judges i had a hard time - deciding who the winners should be. We wish Iris and Ray the best of luck in their further l efforts. Other competitors were: Henry Aiken, Doyle Jensen, Bob Kimball, Preston Mulcahy and John Newman. ANOTHER CANDIDATE ! Among the many students who have been suggested for the honor of attaining a block O, one of the vt j most prominent is Hod Nebeker. t] Hod is without doubt one of our a most loved and most active students, c: Last year as president of the junior v, class he worked hard and long for t the interests of those who are now d seniors. As editor of the year book n , this year he has put out a publica- , a tion that bids fair to be the best we f s " have had in many a moon. Hod is j t [ an all-around fellow and has cer- \ tainly given a lot of his time for the ; good of the student body at large. " He is also an excellent student and ' a member of We 13 and Stellae. If ' anyone deserves an award in the t : high school it is certainly Hod Nebeker. FIVE MORE WEEKS 1 Only five more weeks remain un- [ ' til graduation. To the seniors this v 5 seems absolutely like a minute. The 5 days certainly pass by like a shad- " ow and we don't know where they are going to. Let's make our last c " days at O. H. S. ones of glory, seniors. Let's give to our successors of I next year a tradition to live up to.; 1 3 In a scholastic way, in an athletic 1 way, in an extra curricular way, in every way, let's make Ogden High !« " the best student body in the state. ' If we do that a new building won't 1 s even be necessary so much. Nothing j J not even such impedimenta as we ' now must put up with, can stop a ' : determined student body. We must L be that, students, even though we must fight the battle alone. ! CHATTER AND CHAFF 1 Barney Oldfield says he and the j1 chief of police are right chummy, p We'll bet he is. Chuck Peterson was absolutely the 1 1 i happiest kid in the world the other I morning. Ask him what happened. 1 1 In other words, he's up for a lot of 1 rough treatment from a group of scientists in a very few weeks. Carpe Diem must come in for their bit of glory. Their pledges j entertained them at a bridge party 1 on Wednesday after school. A good ' time was had by all, even the ; pledges. I Wannon O wants another series with We 13. Perhaps they get a kick out of giving coffee and " doughnuts out to starving aviators. Joe Foley says if elected he will ;: give everything he has to his school. 1 We ask him: What has he got that we want? - Iras Leavitt certainly made a fine _ oration on Wednesday for the Lewis contest. She surely deserves especial congratulations for a speech that had a spirtual quality that bespoke worlds for her. " Grant Morse is gyped. Hod Neb¬eker has too high grades. Doc Stone didn't get any. Will man never be satisfied with his lot? AUNT JANE'S CORNER s Dear One of Many: y Your letter is too long to publish f and to some extent has been an- J i swered in answers to other letters, lt 1 but I'd like to put the student body ii situation before you all clearly. ' The significance of the junior ' prom was lost years ago for two jj reasons: First, the senior class grew too large to be a homogeneous group, lg they refused to attend as a class, senior taking senior as paired by their hosts, the juniors. The junior prom was intended as a farewell ie dance to all seniors, a happy night at for all. Because individuals refused ; al to accept assigned partners, for re many seniors this was a most un- ;i- happy time and the whole intent ;i- was lost. The senior vote confirmed c- this. Lal Second, our dances long ago out- e- grew the high school hall and we ie- i must hire a hall. Practically every of i high school of any size in the state or! has its own auditorium and gym, nt I where school plays, operas, dances,' its etc., are held. Our school must go res outside for those things. Other schools are able to make money on these functions, and thus add to j school equipment. Only by utmost j Vis i economy and splendid student body i ay support is Ogden High able to meet j itt these expenses and other necessary j ,he student body expenses, such as ath- i ,ns letic equipment, quarterly, yearbook, res etc. I he I feel sure that you and all the j nd others will accept the present ar- ier rangement on the prom as the best S re: way out, especially as there is al- (ob ways a real farewell to senior on hn commencement night. Sincerely, AUNT JANE. STENOTYPIST The typing classes of Mr. Farnsworth and Mrs. Franke were given ! the privilege of seeing a steno-typist [ at work on Wednesday. This mr I chine wrote two and three hundnfflf words per minute and it was writ-l ten in shorthand. This was a novel! demonstration. The machine Is TenM much on the order of a typewrinB and facilitates the work of tbp stenographer to an unbelievable ex¬tent. NEW LIBRARY POLICY Carnegie Free library has sent this letter to Ogden High school: « "The Carnegie Free library wishdfl to acquaint your students with iU new policy. ] "Due to certain unpleasant sltuJ , tions that have arisen in the part IB has become necessary to curtail some of the freedom that has « isted heretofore. "An information desk has been in¬stalled in the library and from thkj desk all reference material will bfl ' supplied. This means that all bud ness except the actual lending of: books will be carried on at the In-formation desk. "Students wishing reference tni-l ; terial must sign for it with the ifl derstanding that it is for use in tin library only and that when it is MX turned they must not leave untllj they are given credit for having rw turned it. Anything left careleaM on the desk will not be checked off] and the person will still be respoM ; sible. "In addition, it is being requlndl i that all brief cases be checked at tbn desk. They are not to be taken Intel the reference rooms, "These rules are not extreme m unjust and the library is asking tbn you bring this matter to the attml tion of your students." |
