TALKS ART. Professor Le Conic Stewart gave an interesting talk Thursday on the "Appreciation of Art," before the Parent-teacher organization of Kaysville. Ham-And Senior to Ham-And Junior: "Yes, son, I would have bought you a tie, but I didn't know what size you wore." DANCE TONIGHT The day of days has arrived, giving every junior one more item to add to his long Thanksgiving list. Tonight the junior dance, a big event of the year, will be held in the Berthana. For one night we shall throw care to the winds and join the joyous assemblage which will gather from far and near to give thanks that such things as junior dances (and, incidentally, juniors) exist. ELEVENTH PACE OF THE LOST DIARY. Oh! What an exciting day, dear Diary. First place, we had the most adventurous assembly, a really, truly, mounted police called Major Schoof, skins of lions and leopards an' snakes twelve feet long, an' pigs an' Navajo blankets and bears—one was ten feet high, he was a great big white one. The mayor said a mounted policeman was all alone—and the bear kept comin' closer and closer and when ft (the bear) was two feet awaa Irora him (the major) he shot him with I great big gun. Gee whiskers Think of a bear like that standin' in front of ya when it was twice as big as you. Kenneth Skeen was in assembly this morning but when history class comes around Ken doesn't. Teacher asked about, the mystery and Vernal Johnson seemed to be bursting with information. He said Grace came in assembly and took Ken out with her. Someone said it was a ease of abduction—I wonder. But then my cousin's aunt's uncle's grandmother was twice as old as her second husband. It wouldn't be so bad! Glen Burt broke out with a new idea and new boots today. They are brown with turned down tops in everything. Ain't it funny that men love to feminize the male sex when they are always making up dry old jokes about the apparel worn by women? A genuine romance is going on at high school. If we only had the camera we'd be all fixed. It's the same old story about a raft of men after one beautiful girl—starring Winnifred McConnell as the much sought-after woman, and Frank Rose. Cecil Fife and James Neil as the battling heroes. All I can say is let the best man win and sigh when I think of the end of a beautiful budding romance. Oh! by the way, I haven't yet decided who the villain is-1—there must be one, of course—there always is in the movies. Leapin Lizards! Diary! I just heard Kenneth Skeen was not abducted a tall. He went 1o the hospital to give a blood transfusion —that means that the doctors take blood out of your body and put it in someone else that is sick. That's real nice of Kenneth. I guess I'll jump at conclusions too quick. I'll have to apologize to him next time I see him—but wait a minute, he won't know what I said—it's a good thing you keep my secrets, good old Diary. Well, by, by, till some more excitement. —Girls' Association. Nov 22 - 26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES High school students have two things to be thankful for this week--Thursday and Friday. No school! Yum, yum. Life has its compensations. Our forefathers nearly starved for a year or two in the new America —and so when they did have a good harvest they proclaimed "Thanksgiving day"; wise governors and presidents have been proclaiming it ever since. Who says the boys and girls of America aren't thankful? "THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH" The school cast is making fine progress with the school play, "The Goose Hangs High." It's going to be a finished production and everybody is going to enjoy it. The drama has a beautiful theme—one that strikes us as being particularly appropriate for Christmas time which the play will usher in. A GREAT SUCCESS The junior party on Friday night last was rated a great success. Many students attended and everyone had a good time. Such parties as that not only give enjoyment—they are a credit to our school. They help to cement friendships and keep romance in youth alive. TYPING AWARDS Typewriting awards have been given to the following for the month of October: Remington silver ping: Benowits, Thelma Peterson. Underwood silver pins: Hazel Davis, Ramona Trub. Bronze pins: Marie Levedahl. Margaret Berghout. Maurine Mortensen, Evelyn Benowitz, Donna Slater, Ruth Ferrin. L. O. Smith pin and certificate: Marie Levedahl. Donna Slater. —Edith B. Kohler, teacher. HONORABLE MENTION The Ogden Senior High School won honorable mention in the typewriting contest of the Gregg writer in May of last year as reported in the October number of the magazine. Norma Freeman won the gold medal in this contest. H. C. PARTY The H. C. club gave a delightful party Sunday afternoon. After two hours riding the members of the club enjoyed a hot lunch at Jerry Leonard's home on upper Twenty-fifth street. Riding is such fine sport that we understood several other clubs are thinking of imitating us. ASSEMBLY REPORT President Fife called the assembly to order, and, after asking for announcements, he turned the chair over to Marguerite Jongsma, president of the Zeta Phi Xi club. Announcements were, as follows: Kenneth Skeen, president of the senior class, asked the class to be more prompt in ordering their pins; Clifford Fretwell announced that there would be a meeting of the guardsmen after school; a representative from Weber college asked for the support of the High school at the game Saturday. Zeta Phi Xi presented the following program: Two readings by Bella Hirschovitch; two solos by Mrs. Ririe, accompanied by Mrs. Pugmire; a short play by the members of the club. The assembly was then adjourned. —ELEANOR WEEKS. Sec'y. MAKING GOOD Word comes to the High school that Billy Moore is doing exceptionally well at Annapolis. In a recent examination in mathematics given to over 500 students Billy came out third. APPOINTED ALTERNATE In the recent examination given by Senator Smoot for appointment to Annapolis James H. Davis passed second highest and was chosen as first alternate. A student by the name of Beebee of Salt Lake won first place. As there are vacancies quite frequently the chances for James going to West Point are very bright. OLD EDUCATION AND NEW OLD—Child activity in itself has no justification. Childhood is merely a period of intensive preparation for successful participation in adult life. NEW—Childhood is its own justification It should be a period of carefree self-expression untrammeled by the demands of adulthood with its unfulfilled anticipations. HAM AND CLUB Again! Yea. I repeat! Again we are broadcasting. 'Tis old station HAM AND on the air. Our message to you is this, and take heed, all you doubters: Open your eyes and gaze forth into the future, yea into the future when old HAM AND gives her GRAND OLD RADIO SHOW! ‘Twill happen. Yea, ‘twill happen big! ‘Twill happen soon! And we say adios for the present. TWELFTH PART OF THE LOST DIARY Oh Boy! Diary, but we had a keen assembly Friday. The Zeta Phi Xi had charge of the program. I imagine they felt quite at home when they came in uniform, doing the prisoner's lockstep. Bella Hirsch, you know who I mean, sure gave a couple of funny readings. Mrs. Ririe is all right as a singer even if I am better than she is. The Maiden Ladies' convention was kinda goofey. I think—but old. maids do not chew gum. And old maids usually have cats and parrots—but then they were catty enough themselves. I wish the next time Dorothy Coop does the St. Louis that she would take off her red flannels and leave the stage all in one piece. Margaret Soderburg could at least wait until she was alone with Dale before she told him she loved him—go to it Dale, you've got the invitation. Tom Gardner must have had the nose-deed and used her stockings for a handkerchief. And then her demure little handbag couldn't very well carry a handkerchief. If I had been Mr. Croft or Miss Peterson I would have made her use her stocking more than she did. I wonder if Grant Chandler misjudges his sex or if he doesn't know. He spends the biggest part of his time in Mrs. Irwin's room, and since Mrs. Irwin happens to be Dean of Girls--I wonder! --Girls' Association. Nov 23 OGDEN HELPS CELEBRATE The R.O.T.C. band was on the job Monday helping to celebrate the opening of the new viaduct extension and the band led the procession, followed by city and county commissioners, chamber of commece and prominent citizens. The opening of the viaduct means much to the development of Ogden and the school was very glad to participate in this event. Just eighteen years ago, we are advised by James H. DeVine, the original viaduct was opened. Who in Ogden dreamed or imagined at that time that such an addition would be made within twenty years? Perhaps no one. People who live here are scarcely aware of forward strides Ogden is making. We of the schools only hope that we are keeping in the van of progress. We believe that we are. ENGLISH TEST All English students (and that means practically all students in school) enjoyed(?) the luxury of an English grammar and composition test Monday. The test was given by Superintendent W. K. Hopkins which, of course, added a little zest to the test. 1621—1926 equals 305 Thanksgiving days. We wonder if the day means as much to us as it did to the boys and girls of 1621! THE NEW REST ROOM We have little use of the dining room these late years, so the room has been converted into a girls' rest room. Through the kindness of the board of education new curtains have been provided for the windows, the couch covers, linen blankets, pillows, etc., have been renovated, and the room is now quite inviting and comfortable. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE The principals and coaches of Region I will meet at Brigham City at 1 o'clock Saturday of this week to draw up the season's basketball season. Incidentally they will attend the great football game between Box Elder and Price. LETTER RECEIVED Ogden High School Cadet Battalion. Attention: Captain C. J. Dockler, U. S. A. This is to express the sincere appreciation of Herman Baker Post No. 9, American Legion, for the participation by your cadet corps in the Armistice day parade. The legion is very much interested in the matter of national defense and is convinced that one of the most important branches of this whole activity is the training of high school cadet corps throughout the country. And it is a source of great satisfaction to the local legionnaires to know that the Ogden corps stands in the very front rank of high school organizations in the United States. Yours sincerely, Herman Baker Post No. 9, THE AMERICAN LEGION, LAWRENCE CLAYTON, Commander. CANNOT STAY AWAY Ogden knows that we have one of the best bands in the country. But only the boys in the band know what pleasure and satisfaction there is in belonging to such an organization. A number of the boys of last year thought they would not be back at school, but gradually one by one they have drifted back. The band has an irresistible drawing power. The last to return was Max Woodbury, who enrolled Monday. Max is one of the very best cornetists in the state and naturally we are glad to have him back. Not only will he be of great service to the band, the school and the community, but he will go on improving in his work, and we believe will achieve, ‘ere many years, a national reputation. Boys realize that it is a great honor to belong to Hy Lammers’ band, and we are glad they do. There’s a bright future for the boys who receive this fine training. PARENTS’ CLASS The class in parental education will meet at Central Junior auditorium, Wednesday evening, November 24, at 8 o’clock. Dr. E. E. Erickson will give the introductory lecture on “Family Relationships in the Normal Home.” The other speakers in the course will be Dr. LeRoy Cowles, Dr. Georgia B. Johnson, Dean Milton Bennion, Dr. Beeley, Dr. R. O. Porter. The first lecture will be free. At the conclusion of the lecture it will be determined whether Ogden wants the twelve lectures or messages of these six experts. A fee of $2 will be charged for the twelve lectures. The public is invited to come out and hear Dr. Erickson Wednesday evening. W. KARL HOPKINS, Superintendent.
