PUPILS CHOOSE FIRST MEMBERS OF PEP SOCIETY Girls' Organization Will Build Up Enthusiasm At Contests OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. As school spirit seemed to be lag¬ging at the games, Ogden High school has organized a girls' pep society. Each student in the school voted for twenty senior girls and ten junior girls. Those elected are as follows: Dorothy Hall, Dixie Scowcroft, Jane Davis, LaVin Cragun, Clara Young, Lois Ensign, Marge Boyle, Virginia McNamara, Bertha Barker, Jessie Higgins, Arline Haygood, Bet¬ty Lake, Patty Doherty, Darhle Jones, Phylis Brown, Ruth Goddard, Dorothy Dean Hoggan, Helen Fae Jeppson, Phyllis Meyer, Idonna Pick¬ett, Mary Cave, Beverly Betts, Jan¬ice Scowcroft, Edna Riley, Lorene Wallace, Eliza McKell, Helen Abbott, Katheryn McGowan, Barbara Bing¬ham, Maxine Leek. The substitutes are Beth Spencer, Ruth Sessions, Barbara Foulger, Sidney Cole, Mar¬garet Gaddy, Mary Soderberg, Beth Browning, Evelyn Buehler, Helen Mansfield and Marion Thomas. Mrs. White, the physical education teacher, was elected by council to j be advisor of this organization, and under her capable supervision the Pep club will assuredly radiate the expected enthusiasm.—Elzada Carlson. THE GRAND RUSH First comes the bell; then the door flies open. You have only four minutes in which to make your destina¬tion. You run into a snag. They're closing in on you. You're caught— no you're not; there is an opening. You dive through. Another barrier is passed. Ah! There is the long flight of stairs, and thirty seconds left to go. Your breath is gone. Every step is agony. Can you make it? That is the question, Now you reach the steps. Some student is in the way—a junior com¬ing down the wrong stairs. Already Mr. Merrill has gone into the office to ring the bell. The top of the steps is reached. There's the bell, and the door of Mr. Robins' room is plosed. You are late for class. Is this justice for such a gallant effort to pass through the halls in order to get to English on time?— Bill Gleason. YELL MASTER CHOSEN This year, as in every past year, school songs and yells play an im¬portant part in our school's chance of winning athletic contests. But. the school songs and yells are mere¬ly groups of words unless we have a good yell master. It so happens that we have some splendid yells and songs. Tuesday after school, Council elected Jack Doone to act as yell master this year. Council has chos¬en wisely. Jack, we feel sure, will enliven the spirit of the student body at games. Let's support him! Tau Eta Nu. is offering a prize to the club which brings the most rummage to the rummage sale, sponsored by the O. H. S. Girls' as¬sociation. Clubs, do your parti- Reporter. ALL THINGS POSSIBLE Some eight years ago the high school conceived the idea of sending the high school band to Fostoria, Ohio, to participate in a national band contest. When we were told that it would cost ten thousand dol¬lars, we thought it would be neces¬sary to give up the idea. About that time some one spoke to Attorney James H. DeVine about the project. He said, "Sure, you can make it. Here is one hundred dol¬lars to start it. Go out and get hundred dollar subscriptions. You can do anything that you make up your mind to do." We went out and got the money. We are out now to get a paltry thousand dollars or so for instru¬ments for the high school band. Shall we get it? Most certainly! "We can get anything we make up our minds to get." FRIDAY'S GAME School authorities do not favor the idea of high school students jour¬neying to Bear River City to watch the Bear River-Ogden game. To do so would mean sacrificing one-half day of school, and few, if any pu¬pils, can afford to make that sacri¬fice. Extra-curricular activities are nec¬essary but they must not interfere more than is absolutely necessary with the regular school program. However enthusiastic one may be for athletics, he must realize that school comes first—A. M. M. WHAT A PITY The board of education of Ogden city has been offered $884,000 for a new high school but apparently cannot accept it, as it requires a bond issue voted by the people. The vote cannot be taken because of the limitatoins set by law on bond¬ed indebtedness. Did you ever hear anything more pitiful than that? Surely there should be some way out of this. Here is one suggestion: Would not Ogden banks under¬write these bonds? The payments on a government loan would be easy. One mill tax levy for 20 years would give the boys and Ogden a modern, up-to-date school building such as the boys and girls of other districts now enjoy. We ask, we beg, we implore, we pray you honorable members of the board of education to formulate some plan, whereby you can accept this money, and give tnis city a modern, convenient high school. Thirty per cent of this, you know, is an absolute gift. Surely we can¬not afford to pass up this oppor¬tunity. ON THE AIR We began last Thursday evening a weekly period—Thursdays, eight to eight-fifteen p. m. daily—broad¬casting Ogden High school news, views and music on the air. Sud¬denly we find our program expand¬ing. In addition to this period we begin Friday, five-forty-five to six o'clock, a daily broadcast. We shall try to make it worth while. Tune in on KLO tonight at eight o'clock, and every night at five-forty-five. MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1934. JUNIORS ARE FAVORED FOR BAND PLACES Trained Students Needed, Along With Instruments, By Ogden High OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Emily Merrill, editor. Blaine Larsen, associate editor. All of you know of the campaign being made by prominent Ogden organizations to raise funds for in¬struments essential to the success of our school band. Students, of course, must be ob¬tained to play the instruments. There are rules to this game as there are in any other contest. The student must be able to read well. A junior will be given every pref¬erence over a senior. Anyone wish¬ing further information should see Mr. Hanson as soon as possible.— Iola Langford. ATTEND LITTLE THEATRE "The First Mrs. Frazer" is the first production to be presented at the Weber theatre this season. This play will be given October 4, 5 and 6. From past experience the public realizes the value of these presenta¬tions. Hence, in order to accommo¬date all those who like to attend, membership cards are now being sold. A card, costing $1.50, entitles the owner to admittance of five plays. A card costing $2.50 gives the indi¬vidual the privilege of belonging to the Little Theatre Guild, too. These delightful entertainments are high class and enjoyable. There- i fore, let's attend them. TO "NON-ATHLETE" After reading your statements in regard to football players receiving commissions in R. O. T. C., I de¬cided such an attack merited an answer. Dear Non-Athlete, if you will kindly stop to inquire or ob¬serve, you'll find there are only five acting officers who have sufficient initiative, drive and school spirit to try out for the school football team. This is quite a small percentage considering there are 24 officers. And may I point out that there is no reason why football players shouldn't hold the commissions. Students that have the ability to surpass other fellows in various po¬sitions in football develop or already have the spirit of leadership. Also it teaches one to think quickly and logically. And so, Non-Athlete, when you develop sufficient intes¬tinal fortitude to try out for foot-ball. perhaps, if the fates are very kind, you will receive a commission. I am not a football player, but I do not begrudge the gridiron as¬pirants their accomplishments.— Esq. CLASS REPORT The Inter Nos club, which was organized last year, was reorganized Monday, September 24, by the mem¬bers of Miss Chesney's fourth-year Latin classes. This club will meet during a class period every three weeks. At this time papers and re¬ports will be given which pertain to the work carried on during class time. Officers for the third period were elected. They are: Imperator, Val Scoville; quaestor, Don Dee Olson; Serbia, Jane Davis; censor, Corey Cherrstrom; regina restivitatis, Clara Young.—Marjorie Hatch. FOR READING HISTORY For the benefit of seniors who have such a hard time reading their history, I am stating here a method to learn it. When a reader decides to embark on the reading of his his¬tory, he should equip himself with a hatchet, first aid kit (in case he should trip over some difficult name), and sufficient food to last the day. Upon beginning the lesson, the reader should blaze every few words with his axe in order that he may find his way back. It is also wise to sight familiar objects, such as chapter headings. If one becomes lost in the middle of a sentence, the general direction may be determined by the usual moss on the north side of the words. Have no fear of read¬ing too far, for if you do not stop because of weariness, the end of the book may be recognized by the book cover.—Margaret Neal. AN IDEA I've heard of these radiator ro¬mances. The romance, I under¬stood, but, the radiator's use, I could never quite understand. At last I think I have it solved! It must have something to do with the tem-perature. Either the romance warms the radiators (a good thing in cold weather) or, perhaps, the radiator affects the romance. Germs usually grow in heated places. If romance could be compared with germs, I should say that heat should have the same effect on affection as on germs. Ah! There, I have at last a sci¬entific view on this idea called radi¬ator romance. But, perhaps, I'm wrong. Such a problem!—June Streeter. QESTIONS AND ANSWERS What makes dust? A janitor! What supports the love-sick? A radiator! What makes the senior boys hap¬py? Junior girls! What is being found under some noses these days? Mustaches! What draws the money? John's gum and candy! What gives students a stiff neck? A textbook! What keeps Ogden High active? Student bodies!—Black Widow. Oct. 1, 1934 |
