May 15, 1930 Ogden High school news Think not that thy word and thine alone must be right. —Sophocles. CAPABLE LEADERS The girls have chosen three fine girls to lead them in the activities of the Girls' association for next year. As president they have elect¬ed Helen Van Buren, who will do the organization proud. Nora Haw-kins was elected vice president and will prove to be a capable running mate for Helen. As secretary the girls have chosen Julia Cain. With this fine trio to lead them the as¬sociation may hope to equal the fine record made this year by Ada, Guinevere and Shirley. BAND PLAYS On Tuesday evening the O. H. S. music department entertained the people of Ogden in a concert at Lester park. The band played first and was acclaimed by all present to be a first class organization. We have a band that has quality if not quantity. The glee clubs sang and did themselves proud. The solo of the evening was played by Jack Pack, who gave a selection on his saxaphone. We have a really splen-did music department that is flour¬ishing more than ever before. The program on Tuesday night was one of a series to commemorate Nation¬al Music week. NEW CUP FOR CASE We have another trophy to add to our collection in the trophy case. The loving cup that is annually given by the Mountain States Tele¬phone company to the high school which wins the commercial contest each year throughout the state is now in our possession. It is a trophy that represents a lot of skill and effort. No mean amount of work is represented by that cup. No cheerings or praise, but constant drill is told by the inscription that proclaims O. H. S. the best school in the state in the art of typewrit¬ing. These are the cups that have a significance beyond mere physical prowess. They bespeak a faculty that is up and coming and a stu¬dent body which is serious and worthy of the best. BLOCK O'S CHOSEN Beyond the power of the gods to change is the fate of the ten or less block O's that have been chosen for the year. In council on Tuesday evening a preferential vote was taken and in the faculty meeting Monday. The running was close and a great number of students are grouped together, making it hard to choose and to sift the final number to ten or less. Few things mean more to a student than receiving a Block O. It is the semblance of the appreciation of work accomplished in behalf of an appreciative student body. It is a token of meritorious work and any student who receives one may well be proud. It shows him to be one of the ten outstand¬ing students who have graduated from the class of 1930. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Can you tell me what is appro¬priate for a graduation gift for a girl. I would appreciate this in¬formation as would a number of young persons I know. It is hard to choose something appropriate and something not too costly. A SENIOR (BUT NOT RADER). Dear Senior: Graduation gifts are things that occupy a considerable place in the minds of every graduate and every-one who intends to give a gradua¬tion present. I should say above all that presents of this type should be i inexpensive and not too personal in nature. There are usually more than one on whom graduation pres¬ents must be bestowed and unless , you are a millionaire I can well un- ; derstand that the less expensive thej J present the better. For a young lady there are various pretty things that ' are dear to every girl's heart that i make lovely. presents but which cannot be reached by everyone's purse. Books, handkerchiefs of un¬usual quality or design, stationery, candy, all are well received. Beware sending of jewelry to the lady friend j or acquaintance. Leave that to her parents or relatives. Go to some art or gift shop; there are countless pretty things that do well and cost little. AUNT JANE. CHATTER AND CHAFF And he played on his old cornet. So says E. S. Smith. E. S. longs for the good old days when cornet play-ers were not pipe blowers. Attendance was better on Tues¬day. Now it is almost good enough so that A and B companies can be combined to make a real-sized squad. Two Carpe Diem pledges got , roses the other morning. About eight will get carnations at 11:30 Saturday night. Teachers, forgive your charges if they don't Study very well lately. A number of them have a hard sum-mer ahead, in more ways than one. Beecher is going to rest up all sum¬mer to catch up for lost time when he was kept awake in class. Rader regrets that he will have only one Block O to ive to his girl. If B company wins the Kanzler cup again it plans to take it to the jeweler's and have it melted and cast into a statue of Napoleon at the age of six. Then it is going to present it to Charles Hetzel for be¬ing the best second lieutenant next to Herb Stewart in the first platoon of B company. O. H. S. GIRLS' CREED The creed of the girls of the Og¬den High school was first introduced this year. Members of the Girls' association held a competitive con¬test for the selection of this creed. There were four winners in the fi¬nal selection: Mary Ashby, Iras Leavitt, May Harrison and Helen Van Buren. Finally a composite creed was composed from all the winning compositions. A special colored paper was secured and a harmonizing color of ribbon was used by Lucile Hales and Bessie Hoggan in the typing of the mate¬rial. Each creed was then initialed and hand illuminated by Frances Fish. As a result of the work and co-operation of these girls we now have a wonderfully artistic copy for each room and in order that each copy may be suitably framed before hanging the girls of the various rooms will contribute five cents each toward defraying the expense of framing. As soon as the rooms have received their copies they will be hung upon the wall of the respective advisory rooms. We wish to thank all the girls who have done so much to help us secure this creed and make it as attractive as it is. O. H. S. GIRLS' CREED Az a student of Ogden High, I be¬lieve it is my duty to love and honor my school, to enter into its progres¬sive spirit sincerely and enthusias¬tically, always being punctual, par¬ticipating in its undertakings, and supporting its social and atheltic activities. I believe I should respect its teachers and the student body offi¬cers, and do my part toward keep¬ing the building and surroundings clean and attractive. I should be a friend to all, not for what they may be able to give me, but purely for the joy of association and service; therefore I should have a smile for everyone and be willing to serve whenever help is needed. That a cheerful smile and a kind word will work wonders for one who is dis¬couraged is a fact for me always to remember. I should be honest and truthful, with a character beyond reproach, courteous and kind, loving and for-giving, brave and cheerful, frank, but not insulting, jolly, but not boisterous, modest, self respecting, neat in appearance, orderly at all times, and respectful for the rights and feelings of others. I should be a good sport, always playing fair, keeping peace with my opponents, never disputing the word of author¬ities, and always controlling my tem¬per. I should be prepared to battle against my difficulties, and to take disappointments good naturedly. _ My desire to live up to these ideals and be worthy of honorable citizen¬ship in our creditable school and Qur glorious republic is sincere and humble. CONGRESS Monday evening Congress won the last of the series of debates with Forum, thus making the two clubs tied for the final decision. Phyllis Fredrickson and Lucille Gale of the affirmative won the decision from Durnell Richards and John Cawley of the negative. Both clubs appre¬ciates having Attorney Quill Nebeker judge and comment on the de¬bate, and also having Judge Hen¬dricks judge the preceding debate. At the regular meeting afterwards three junior members were voted in. The lucky girls are Helen McKay,! Imogene Locke and Bernadette Weddell. SCHOOL CADETS TO DRILL FRIDAY The Ogden high school R. O. T. C. cadets' competitive drill for the Kanzler cup will be held at 1 o'clock Friday on the tabernacle square, ac¬cording to Colonel Thomas H. Cun¬ningham.

STAFF RECEIVES PRAISE In council last Tuesday the quar¬terly Classicum of the year 1930 , cashed in its checks and was bal¬anced when its final report went ! into the minutes book. We need no evidence to point out the fact that the quarterly this year has been one of the most outstanding publica¬tions in the history of the high school, but Mr. Aplanalp has writ¬ten a letter to Council that shows the fine business ability of the staff that goes along with the editorial staff to make a great paper. Mr. Abplanalp, who is the school's treas¬urer, is highly pleased with the dis¬patch and speed with which the business manager, Jack Reeve, car¬ried out his portion of the work. In contrast to former years, practically all ads run in the quarterly have been paid for and for the first time in many years the magazine is on a break-even basis. We are proud of such students and Jack certainly has the thanks of all for a piece of work well accomplished. We all know and have heard of their splen¬did work. May next year's group continue as well. EDITORS CHOSEN In Council the other evening the editors and business managers for the year 1930-31 were chosen. The choice met with the approval of all and the advisors are well pleased with the fine group with which they have to work next year. Doyle Jen¬sen and Bob Kimball have been elected editor and business manager of the annual, respectively; while Helen McKay and Preston Mulcahy have been elected editor and busi¬ness manager of the quarterly. These comprise a fine group of students and we wish them all the success i in the world to make a better group ! of publications than this year's if ! possible. We honestly don't think it is possible. John Cawley will act as an assistant to Doyle on the year¬book staff. Joe Foley will also work on the staff in the managerial de¬partment. CHATTER AND CHAFF In I Wannon O meeting, certain ; of our illustrious junior class were on the receiving end of a mighty thick persuader. Ex-Wannon O's Schoof and Sampson were "insult¬ed," as Frye puts it, by the bad lit¬tle dears. Consequently the thing had to be put right and the missing auto was returned, after which a good time was had by all—the Sen¬iors. How can two and a half bucks be raised? asks Carpe Diem. They're raising them. And at graduation time, too. Carpe, fair Carpe, how could you be so cruel? Tribe wants-to know what "Boiled Cows Toes a la Maryland" taste like. He was in a dilemma when he tried to produce evidence in meeting the other eve. As you know, scien¬tists are very fastidious and must know the details. Therefore they chose fried chicken for their ban¬quet instead of a la Maryland. A week ago last night about this time Rader Deegan was taking a big bow. At the same time Dick McKey was bowing also, but from a different cause. Those were the good old days. Sarge Holloway is a kind man. He is the kind of a man who gets what he wants whether the person he gets it from thinks he ought to have it or not. Take tjhis as lit¬erally as you choose. GIRLS' ASSEMBLY The Girls' association held its last assembly this morning. It was a very fine assembly and a splendid program was given. The new offi¬cers of the coming year were intro¬duced and parting speeches given by the present officers. The various heads of the departments of the as¬sociation gave their report of the year's work. The Girl's Glee club, under the direction of Mr. Hansen, gave two numbers which were vry pleasing. Miss Elda Skinner then surprised the audience with, two de¬lightful vocal solos. Miss Guinevere Hess played a piano solo, and Mrs. Irwin gave the girls a very inter¬esting talk. The officers have done splendid work this year and we thank them. We are also very pleased with the wonderful achieve¬ments of the departments.
