Show 4-13-26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES NOT ADVERTISED. It appears that the R. O. T. C. band has not been properly ad¬vertised. We met a man Monday who hadn't heard that there is a band. FACULTY ENTERTAINED. Faculty meeting closed Monday like a ladies' tea—-with refresh¬ments. Misses Merle Chipman and Margaret Corless were the hosts of the occasion. FORCED CONFESSION. The popular French teacher at high school was accused in fac¬ulty session Monday night of hav¬ing committed matrimony without the knowledge or consent of her fellow workers. She confessed and upon request wrote her new name upon the blackboard—Madame Leon Emile Aubry—by which name she has been known amongst her most intimate friends for some four months past. The news came as quite a shock to most of the teachers but they soon recovered and showered Madame Aubry with all sorts of congratulations. TEACHER IMPROVING. Word comes to high school that Mrs. S. E. Blackham, physical education instructor, has so far recovered from her recent opera¬tion that it was possible to take her to her home on Sunday last. HONORS AT STANFORD. Miss Marian P. Cross, an alumna of Ogden High, is making a fine record at Stanford univer¬sity. Marian was one of five in that great school to be elected recently to Delta Epsilon, the national art fraternity. AT PENNSYLVANIA. Ralph Kimball, who will be graduated next month, has been accepted as a student in the Uni¬versity of Pennsylvania. Ralph ex¬pects to specialize in chemical engineering. Ralph offers for entrance four units of English, three units of science, four units of mathe¬matics, four units of language, two of Latin and two of French, two units of history, and three electives. STELLAE. One cannot say that there no longer is such a thing as luck For instance, take the case of the six juniors who last Thurs¬day gained admission to the Stellae. Ask any one of these: S Virginia Anderson, Clifford Fretwell, Grant Chandler, Ira Nye, Wayne Fisher, or Roger Woods, and they will surely compliment "Old Lady Luck." But of course it was not luck altogether. For when Stellae turned its attention to electing members for next year, it decided that the six named above had best distinguish¬ed themselves in scholarship, in school activities, and in being peppy and a good fellow. Thus the club bestowed its highest honor on them. A little later they will enter their week of initiation. But the meeting at "Tubbey's" house was spent not alone in electing members. Plans for coming events, and especially for the first annual "Stellae ball" were formulated, and of course, at the end refreshments were served. The meeting can be put down on the list as a most suc¬cessful evening's work. In other words, as a regular Stellae. STATE DEBATES. Tomorrow Ogden debates with Davis the question, "Resolved, That the Immigration Act of 1924 , should be repealed so as to admit the Japanese on the same terms as the Europeans." at 3:15 o'clock. The negative teams travel, so that the debate will be held simultaneously at both schools. On Thursday the same arrangement holds with Box Elder High. HERMIT OF HAWAII. Remember the school opera that given last year? This one is so much better that it will put the last one far in the back¬ground. We want and need the support of not only the high school students but also the citi¬zens of Ogden. Music has been gaining prominence in Ogden, gradually, but it hasn't yet gained a firm footing. "The Hermit of Hawaii" is an A-l opera—it con¬tains humor, bits of snappy song that the town will sing for weeks, beautiful settings and clever dances. Mr. Southwick, who has staged "The Hermit of Hawaii" twice, says of the opera: "The Hermit of Hawaii" is the best opera have ever done. It goes over big." CARPE DIEM REPORT. Another meeting filled with the Carpe Diem "zip, zest and zeal" was held last Friday. Several im¬portant measures were discussed, among them being the junior members through which the club will be carried on next year. Eight junior girls will be taken into the club within the next four Weeks. Only two girls will be voted on, in one week so that the best will be picked. Any junior girl, who would like to become a member will give her name to one of the girls in the "orange" blouses and it will be put up and voted on. The hike which was to have been held April 11 was postponed until April 18 on account of the disagreeable weather. On April 18, at 5 o'clock p. m. the Carpe Diem girls and their escorts with Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Smith and Mrs. Newcomb as chaperons will start out. Several of the boys, not know¬ing that the hike had been post¬poned, became rather anxious and discomfited when they did not receive invitations for Sunday. However, everything has been settled between the "warring fac¬tions" and they are back on firm, peaceful basis.—Mabel Reynolds. TRANSMITTING STATION. The Ham-And Radio club wishes to offer further proof that it is the most purposeful club in the Ogden Senior High school by announcing that it will soon come on the air with a radio transmitting station, which will be located in the high school build¬ing. This set, the plans of which are going forward in great style, promises to be a big asset to the school, a direct benefit to every pne of the students. Mr. Haight, an honorary mem¬ber of the Ham-And club and operator of KFWA, has offered to donate the transmitting tube to the club. A set, operated in Salt Lake, very similar to what the Ogden one will be, has been carrying on two-way communication with Australia during the past few months. You see, therefore, that the Ham-And transmitter will be no toy. —Warren Cross, Reporter. |
