SCHOOL USES DEGREE SCALE TO SHOW FUND Oct. 5, 1934 Money Being Gathered For Student Association Activities OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL VOTES Emily Merrill, editor. Blaine Larsen, associate editor. Now that the hot summer has gone, and cool weather is again upon us, most of the world has stopped watching the thermometer. Over our office door, however, we have a thermometer that is receiv¬ing as much attention as the one on your back porch last summer. In¬stead of measuring degrees of heat or cold, our thermometer measures money placed in the student body association fund. At a recent read¬ing, the mercury had raised to $1,200. Our aim this year is to reach the $2,000 mark in student body sales. We hope that the thermometer will go up in a hurry. Will you help? RADIO PROGRAM Editors of the Ogden High school notes are sponsoring a radio pro¬gram over station KLO every week, presenting a cross-section of student life to the public. Last evening from eight to eight-fifteen the first pro¬gram was broadcast. Chester Chris¬tensen sang "Song of Songs," La Vin Cragun gave a tap dance, Dick Baxter was interviewed, Blaine Lar¬sen gave an old man's interpretation of his school days, and school songs were played. This undertaking is one of the very finest that has ever been pro¬moted for the good old Ogden High school. But support is greatly needed to make the program suc¬cessful. The school is brimming with talent, and humorous incidents are constantly occurring. Those of you who have talent, please offer your services for the benefit of this school feature. The next radio presentation will be given this coming Thursday at the same time. Listen in. PLEASE REMEMBER The editors must now make it known that it is impossible to print all articles handed into the notes because of poor construction or fail¬ure to write concerning subjects suitable to print in a school publica¬tion. We must have news! We en¬courage you to write your own ideas, no matter how contrary to estab¬lished policy they may be. Don't be afraid to express yourself! How¬ever, articles written for the pur¬pose of degrading the character of any person or organization will not be printed. Confine your ideas to the extent that you do not become radical or seem foolish. Remember, students, we urge you to write, but please be temperate.— Editors. A RAINY DAY Outside, the rain dripped steadily from the roof, the wind moaned disconsolately, and "the day was cold and dark and dreary." Grad¬ually, nature's melancholy affected the spirits of the students in the study halls, and they sat staring moodily out the windows. The rain drummed louder still, increasing the gloom, but, as they sank ever deeper into the "Slought of Despond," a lilting melody was heard from down the hall. In that other room, the students showed happy, smiling faces, and all the dreariness of the outside world waS forgotten. They sang, and, as the joyful tune rang out, the usual cheerful dispositions of the students in study hall reasserted themselves. All of which, students, just goes to show the power of music; so why i not spend the dull seventh period "studies" this winter in the music room with the mixed chorus?— Wayne Bundy. I HEARD Mr. Thornley say "Now children, I'm like your mothers. I'm telling you this for your own good." Phil—And to think I promised my dear old mother that I'd never play football— Coach—You've kept your promise. When asked if he used toothpaste, Burt claimed his teeth weren't loose. A teacher was complaining at great length of the numerous mis¬takes the pupils had made. As he began to talk less, someone said, "Who put a nickel in him?" As he continued with added vehemence, the same person said, "my mistake, It must have been a dime," Dot Hall had a birthday the other day. Our president, we are told, ex¬pressed his congratulations in three expressive words. Shrimp and Short. CLASS REPORT If you wish to know anything about marriage and divorce customs of different countries ask any mem¬ber of the sixth period Sociology class conducted by Mr. Hancock. Paul Grogger gave an interesting and amusing report on this subject. The marriage customs of the Wakanonogo tribe in Africa, the Eskimo people, the Japanese, the Russians, the Arabian people, the inhabitants of Tibet, and the people of New Guinea were discussed.— Reporter Ruth White. How I long to have: Beverly Betts' personality; Junior Bramwell's smile; Elvira T's ivory skin; Elzada C's ability to write; Betty H's beautiful voice; Bertha Barker's sociability. —Butch. LETTER RECEIVED From the office of Mayor H. W. Peery comes a letter to A. M Merrill, principal of Ogden Senior High school, reading: "Allow me to present a hearty word of congratulations on the splendid appearance of the Ogden High cadet corps. During their march in the Pine View dam cele¬bration parade I was much im-pressed by their military perform¬ance. "As usual, the Ogden High school has a very accomplished band and I deeply appreciate their fine spirit in accommodating us with their ap¬pearances. "Wishing the cadet corps every success that they may again be a high ranking group in the Ninth corp area, I remain, with kindest regards, H. W. Peery, mayor of Ogden." FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1934 STUDENTS HAVE MOCK FUNERAL ON CAR TRACKS "Box Elder Bee Is Dead" Declares Leader At Ceremonies OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar¬sen, Associate Editor. To quote the words of President Baxter, "the Box Elder Bee is dead!" With impressive ceremony and due respect the Ogden High student body Thursday paid final tribute to the hardy hive of Box Elder Bees that has so often stung the Ogden Tiger. A long funeral procession consisting of the remains of the Brigham football team and mourn¬ers wound its way through the busi¬ness section of Ogden. As this sad line of march reached the center of the city, the remains of the Bees were burned on the street car tracks amid cheers of spectators. In other words, a gigantic foot¬ball rally was held by the cheering fans of Ogden High school before the big game with Box Elder. LETTER TO TEACHER Dear Teacher: I am writing this slightly belated letter to explain in part why I have not my English notebook in condition for remittance. When I was in the ninth grade, I took a course in ancient history and being then, as now, a very diligent scholar, I carefully studied the course, learning it well. I was in¬trigued by the mystery of Egypt's earlier history and wondered from where it had been procured. Event¬ually I learned that for certain writings and hieroglyphics which had been left to the world, we now know the Egyptian home life so well. A modern philosopher tells us "That which is written lives, but that which is remembered dies." Of course you will be able to see why I quote from the noble, Mark Antony's speech at the assassina-tion of Julius Caesar, "The evil men do lives after them, but the good is oft interred with their bones" for, if I cannot have the good that I do live after me, I most assuredly do not want my evil, in the form of my writings, to outlive me, and anyhow, who knows when an auto or truck will extinguish the feeble spark? The great Emperor Napoleon was thought by all to be a very brusque fierce man, one who wouldn't let a mere woman influence his life. If he had been more careful and destroyed all his letters and writings, we at present would not have a book of the love letters of Napoleon to the Empress Josephine. This book shows the little known side of the great man, the side which in my estimation tarnishes the glitter of his life. In any court of law today those letters would procure much money for Josephine. I could cite numerous other exsmples demonstrating my point but, the most practical reason is this: all the teachers who have asked ne to keep a notebook, you are the i-st one to ask for its remittance. These reasons, combined with the fact that I have had all my work ready on time and a good deal of it checked and recorded, justify me to entreat you to use clemency in my behalf. The fact that I could have easily made up the missing work while I was writing this letter doesn't even enter my mind.— X. Y. Z. PLEDGES Thursday was an immemorial day for several juniors, for bids to vari¬ous clubs were distributed. The fortunate ones were beaming with happiness, unable to suppress their emotions. Others might have been slightly disappointed, but controlled their feelings well, being good sports. The seniors know from experience the heartache of not receiving an invitation to join an organization, but they know too that such a dis¬appointment is no reflection on the individual. Club membership is so limited that a very difficult situa¬tion always arises when just a few must be chosen, since eligible stu¬dents, those who are charming, well- liked, or talented, are very numer-ous. Sincerest congratulations are ex¬tended to the new pledges, and a reminder to the others that they still have two more chances. A FUTILE ATTEMPT Another crumpled paper fell to the floor. I had been trying for an hour to compose an article worthy of publication. Unsuccessfully I at¬tempted again. I wrote poetry in free verse, prose in a Shakespearian style; but it was all lacking in some¬thing, some strong feature. Diligently I labored with humor, sarcasm and serious facts without once originating anything worth while. By this time I was concerned. Writing had never bothered me be¬fore; on the contrary, it had always come to me very easily. Perhaps I was not in the mood. This, however, consoled me very little. For another half hour I pored over my papers, and, as the last piece fell to the floor, I disbanded all hope, sighing. "What's the use" — meaning there was no use.—Margaret Neal. SPANISH III PERIOD We have a great class the third period. For those who are unaware which class this is I'll now tell you. It is composed of second year Spanish students who are under the direction of Mr. Hancock. This class holds our attention be¬cause we are interested. Why? There are several reasons. Some-thing new and interesting is always happening. We learn new Spanish songs, stories and sometimes the teacher tells us about Mexico. To prove los alumnos (Spanish students) are entertained, just the other day, October 16, we had one hundred per cent attendance. This is not the first time either, all mem¬bers have attended class, for quite often we have a perfect record. Proud? I'll say we are!—Parley Jen¬en. sen the use fierce New unces home cottage cheese McNaught Syndi-Inc.) Oct. 29, 1934
