SCHOOL NEEDS AID OF ALL IN FRIDAY EVENT Full Support Sought For Stadium Game With Box Elder OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Friday brings another great event for Ogden High. The football game with Box Elder High will take place at the Ogden stadium. Will we win? That is the question that is on every tongue. Our boys are ready to do their best. Are we ready to help them? It is necessary that we do help them by creating every bit of enthusiasm that is possible. It has been said that more junior high school students attend our games than do Ogden High school students. Let's not have that said again! Come on, students, let's have every¬one out to the game, brimming over with pep and enthusiasm to win!— Elzada Carlson. HAVE WE PROGRESSED? If Gutenburg were to return to the earth and visit any place he pre¬ferred, where do you think he would go? He would naturally be inter¬ested in knowing of just what im¬portance his discovery of the print¬ing press has been to civilization. Should he encounter you after his arrival and inquire where he could best find it, to what place would you direct him In the roaring pressrooms where the newspapers of the world are printed in lightning fashion; in pub¬lishers' offices: in imposing and im¬mense national libraries; in large and small book stores; in roadside magazine stands; in schools, both private and public, or even in the private homes, he could find printed reading matter, the presence of which would be most bewildering to him. His reactions would puzzle him, no doubt, not knowing, at first, whether to rejoice in the wealth of printed material made possible by improve¬ments on his simple printing press, or whether to resent the progress made by means of it. Our guess is however, that his resentment would soon vanish and leave in its place a lasting joy at the thought that he had blazed the solitary trail that had now become a busy thoroughfare.—Barbara Taylor. FAIR DEAL As report card time neared, there was many a worried look around Ogden High school. It seemed as if these worried glances came mostly from Junior faces. They had heard so much about low marking teachers that they were in dread of what Wednesday would bring them. But Wednesday's sun has dawned and set on a day which passed much better than expected. Those low marking teach,srs turned out to be fair players, a/id thus the future six weeks hold a brillant aspect for seniors and juniors alike.—Kathryn McGowan. TICKETS READY Bandantix! Bandantix! tickets for the Bandantix! Hear ye, hear ye, students! You must, can and will sell them! It is for you that the city is sponsoring this affair; it is to buy new instruments for the band. Do you think this does not mean you? It does, Ogden High school's band is indeed representative of our student- body no matter where they play, and without proper instrumentation Ogden High would be rather poorly represented. Do your part! Sell your tickets, and help put the Bandantix over one hundred per cent. — Kathyrn Mc¬Gowan. CHIT CHAT Whose ring with the initials E. L. R. could K. P. have? What's happened to our E. R. and F. L. team? Is it M. H. or H. W. on your book E. J.? Where are those "peace disturbers" that usually ride by school at noon? Make up your mind Ab. Don't keep the girls in suspense so long! Since our grades were recorded yesterday, please remember your high school days dear fathers, and take pity on us!—Peeking Tom. PEP OFFICERS The recently organized Pep club elected officers Friday as follows: President, Rught Goddard; Vice President, Marge Boyle; and Secre¬tary, Jessie Higgins. With such an excellent choice of leaders the Pep club should soar to great heights. Make the best of it, girls; the stu¬dent body is in back of you! After much discussion as to what name the newly organized Pep club should have, a decision was finally reached. There was much debate pro and con as to whether the club should be named "Pep Sponsors of Ogden High" or "Pep Club of Ogden High." The latter name was finally chosen. In the future the organiza¬tion will be recognized by this title. —Kathryn McGowan. PERFECT MARK Mr. Hancock's sixth period sociology class is pleased to an¬nounce a 100 per cent attendance of pupils who have taken up the study of this vast human race with an enthusiasm which can hardly be equaled. The general attitude of complete absorption in the subject being discussed is pleasing to notice and gives one an over-powering de¬sire to be a part of the group of people studying this inspiring sub¬ject. The class has just completed the election of officers for the coming term. The new officers are: namely, Burton Barrows, president, Dean Williams, vice president, Ruth White, secretary and treasurer, and Arie Hart reporter. We wish, too, to ex¬press our sincere appreciation for the gratifying efforts of our former president, Verna Ochs, and her sup¬porting officers. DAILY BROADCAST The Ogden High school presents a musical program and a short talk or enterview daily over KLO. This service is rendered gratuitously by KLO-to help put over the Bandantix program in the stadium Oct. 25 at three p. m. Listen daily, to get en¬thusiasm for the project, and to hear some of Ogden High's talented students. The weekly program comes also every Thursday at eight" p. m. Tune in. MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1934. PATRONS VISIT SCHOOL TO SEE ABOUT YOUTHS Delinquency In Attendance Mostly Among Boys of Junior Class OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Lar- sen, Associate Editor. We noted the presence of a num¬ber of patrons at our school this morning. We have been informed, not authentically, but suspiciously, that these parents came in response to a special request of the principal. It is surmised also that the favor¬ed sons of said parents have shown unjustifiable delinquency in the matter of attendance during their brif sojourn at high school. Need¬less to say these were mostly jun¬ior boys. BETTER ASSEMBLIES The Decorum committee made it known on Friday, that assemblies are not "social teas" and that no student will be permitted to show discourtesy to assembly speakers. As above 95 per cent of our student body manifest very proper decorum at assemblies it doe» not seem that assemblies should be abolished as President Baxter threatens but that the five per cent should be dis¬ciplined. We believe we shall have most acceptable assemblies hereaf¬ter, as the Decorum committee is very alert. WOULD YOU SUPPORT IT? The teachers are thinking of sponsoring a thinkaton contest among the students. The rules governing this event would be such as that the cham¬pion concentrator here at good old Ogden' High school would be dis¬covered. To enter, one must con¬sent to concentrate for 45 minutes with five minutes for rest between periods, and time out for lunch. The contest hours would be from eight - thirty a.m. until three-thirty p.m. on week days. The winner of this in each class will receive an "A" grade, certify¬ing that he has been able to keep his mind confined to thoughts of but one subject during each period "on the floor." It is too late to become a contestant for this six weeks, but the entrance applica¬tions for the next contest will be ac¬cepted any time on or near Monday, October 15. Are you desirous of winning the title of "champion con¬centrator?" Now, we don't want you to be frightened away by the fact that Mirium Tueller, Blajne Larson, Vir-ginia McNamara, Barbara Taylor and Ben Alsup are obvious entrants but enter it yourself with the first prize as your goal.—Thinkathon fan. Tune in on KLO every evening at five forty-five and at eight p.m. I on Thursdays. A SUGGESTION Gossip on a systemized scale is what this school needs. I suggest someone organize a Gaba Gaba club. To promote school gossip in the halls and in the News Notes would be the purpose of this organization, and the requirements for member¬ship would be: The person must spread gossip j about at least one student a day. He must be able to discuss all the admirable and discreditable points of at least three individuals. He should be able to name 15 radiator romances. He must give the latest de¬tailed reports on apple polishing. He must bring to each meeting the spiciest gossip of the week. I'm sure this group would abolish all arguments as to who are the best scandal writers and would con¬tribute to the friendly spirit in the school.—Hippy. lief pervading his soul. And the dark deed is done.—-Wayne Bundy. RIFLES ISSUED During the past week rifles were used for the first time this year in drilling R.O.T.C. units. Seniors, of course, happy to get their old friends back, and since the juniors are always looking toward their elders and following such worthy examples as they present, they were also glad to engage in the new and novel sport. Seniors were appointed as acting instructors over the junior squads —another reason why the "big brothers" are happy. Thus far the , squads have been drilled and in¬structed in the manual of arms as separate units only; however, the younger group at Ogden High school looks forward with the greatest ex¬pectancy to the advent of doing "squads right and left," "about face," and other military move¬ments in close ranks because, don't all the experienced boys say "that is when the fun begins?"—Don Dee Olsen. "COLUMBUS" ASSEMBLY In honor of Columbus day, a de¬lightful assembly was held at Og¬den High school last Friday. The student body was called to order by President Baxter after which George Larve announced that , a junior was needed to become as¬sistant business manager of the yearbook. A student of Weber college an¬nounced a dance to be sponsored by Weber college October 12. Mr. Merrill commented on the conduct of some students within our school. President Baxter turned the as¬sembly over to Mr. Peterson, who announced that the program was arranged by the history department. A quartet consisting of Glenn Hansen, Mark Robinson, Paul Cragun and William Johnson sang three numbers. The speaker of the day was A. L. Scoville, a prominent Ogden busi¬ness man. Mr. Scoville gave a splen¬did address on the history preced¬ing the voyage of Columbus, and the results of this great discovery. After turning the program back to President Baxter the assembly adjourned. TO EXTEND FIELD Novi Poetae wishes to thank Mrs. Spencer Stone for her excellent talk which she gave last Thursday. She spoke of some of her own articles which have been published and gave f her audience several fine points which already have been put into practice. The olub also wishes to announce to the students of Ogden High school that we are extending our field of work. In the near future the study of all creative work, the short story, poetry, drama, novel, and any other will be undertaken.—Novi Poetate, Iola Langford, secretary. A DARK DEED Stealthily, he walked down the hall. Perhaps he might make it unseen. Then, as he rounds the last corner, he sees, in dismay, that this particular part of the hall is jammed. Not a good setting for his deed. No, he must wait until there are fewer people around. Ah! Now is the time; only a few students stand near, and they are much too interested in each other to notice him. Just as he is about to com¬mit the deed, a large group of his classmates bursts gaily into the building. Will the time never come? At last, the bell rings and the halls begin to clear. He can delay no longer. After one last agonized glance around to make sure no one is looking, he steps quickly over to the "Notes" box. He drops his con¬tribution in and walks quickly down the hall with a deep sense of re- |
