Show WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1934. APPEAL MADE FOR CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR Volley of Apple Cores At Game Arouses Indignation OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Emily Merrill, editor. Blaine Larsen, associate editor. The time has come when we feel that something must be said about the conduct of high school students at school functions. The actions of some ot our students at the game last Friday were abominable. Each time the yell leader came out to lead a yell or song, he was showered with apple cores. Are we infants? Must we return to the state of throwing objects as children do? If we were real men and women, as we are supposed to be, we would shudder at the thought of acting as we did at the football game last week. If the juniors are responsible for these actions, may we urge them to remember that they are now out of junior high school. Perhaps the juniors are not to blame; the sen¬iors may oe partly responsible. If they are, they should know better. Students, let's make our school one that we may be proud of! Let's act as high school students should act and make our school proud of us! Remember, that to us the throw¬ing of apple cores at football games is a lost art. FIRST STUDENT DANCE The Student Body association sponsors its first social event of the year Friday night. The get ac-quainted dance will be held on Fri¬day evening at nine o'clock in the Berthana ballroom. The price of admission will be the presentation of your student body ticket, thirty- five cents apiece, or fifty cents a couple. The student body officers in hold¬ing this dance have as their objec¬tive the creation of new and lasting friendships. We urge the entire school to support and enjoy this event. We invite the juniors especially to come and meet the seniors. They want to be friends, juniors, why not get acquainted? Dear Editor: What must one do to have an ar¬ticle published in the Notes? Is it true the person contribut¬ing the most articles for publication is the editor of the Notes the next year? I think perhaps more stu¬dents would contribute if they un¬derstood more fully the require¬ments.—Butch. Dear Butch: Any student in the Ogden High school may write articles for the Notes. We ask only that articles submitted be readable, as free as possible from errors in grammar, and pertaining to some phase of school life. In a few weeks English teachers will be asked to suggest names of the best junior writers who I have written for the Notes. From this list Council will elect two jun¬ior associate editors. In selecting names of writers, the teachers will consider the quality of the articles submitted to the Notes for publica¬tion. Thus you see that the num¬ber of articles written by a junior student is not considered so much as the quality of his writing.—Ed¬itor. MAKE A BEGINNING Remember, if you do not begin, you will never come to an end. The first weed pulled up, the first seed placed in the ground; the first dol¬lar saved, the first example per¬formed, and the first mile traveled on a journey, all important essen¬tials. Make a beginning, and show that you are in earnest and mean to do what you have undertaken. How many a poor, idle, hesitating outcast is now creeping along life's path¬way who might have held up his head and prospered if he had only made a beginning; "Well begun is half done," is an old but true say¬ing. Try it, students, and prove a good beginning is half of the bat¬tle!— E. C. HOME GAME Our game with Price, Carbon county team will be played on our own field Friday afternoon. This seems necessary as Weber college has a game with alumni of that in¬stitution Friday afternoon at the stadium. October 1: Teacher: Johnny, what does suf¬ficient mean? Johnny: I don't know teacher. Teacher: Class will you find out what it means by tomorrow? That evening. Johnny: Dad, what does suffic¬ient mean? Dad: If you give a cat a bowl of milk and he doesn't eat all of it, because his stomach is full, he has had a sufficient amount of milk to satisfy his appetite. October 2. Teacher: Who knows what suf¬ficient means? Johnny: Teacher, I do. Teacher: What does it mean, Johnny? Johnny: The cat's full of milk. For the strength of Ogden High!" —Irene Westmoreland. EDITORS' NOTE Please, students, don't place articles of an abstract nature in the Notes' box and expect them to be published. Vital news concerning school life or school interest is the only suitable material to be printed. Some excellent English themes have been handed to us but they have no direct connection to student life nor would be of any interest to the public in general. We urge every one to write notes which would immediately attract attention. OLD FAMILY CUSTOM Each year brings new juniors to Ogden High who particularly notice the rundown stairs, the wooden- floored halls and the make-shift auditorium, and they long for a modern building. After a year's perfect attendance (or so we hope), their eyes have become accustomed to the untiled floors while their feet take the ramshackle stairs as a duck takes to water, and they seem to overlook its shabbiness. Upon gradu¬ation, they long to have the "old school" left intact, as a symbol of their happy school days to which they may point with pride and say, "That is the place where I learned to be the man I am now." Through the generations it be¬comes a family custom to attend this school of learning, and each one secretly hopes he won't be forced to discontinue the occurrence, but that she may pass safely through his years of schooling there, not troubled with Hhe creation of a new school. If such is your ambition, rest as¬sured you may reach it, as no storm is in sight upon your horizon, and the same old school will loom ahead as you approach it the next day.— Harold Davis. WHO KNOWS What fellow in Mr. Robins' second period English class went duck hunting the other day when he should have taken a test? Why Mr. Peterson treats three fellows in one of his law classes so badly? How to approach father with a card full of "E's"? When the cadet officers will be appointed? When a lamb ceases to be a lamb and becomes a sheep? (One of Mr. Peterson's fast ones).—Peter Zane. 14 TEACHER WINS NEW HONOR IN VERSE WRITING Blanche Kendall McKey's Poem Included In Late Volume OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Honor has come for the third time to Mrs. Blanche Kendall McKey, teacher of Ogden High school, for one of her poems has been included in a national collection. A contribution of choice poems called "Contemporary American Lyricists" jus printed contains a lyric of Mrs. McKey. She contributed several poem to Anthony Panelle, a published who chose "Her Mother's Child.' Mrs. McKey has also written a school song, "The Spirit of Ogden High," which is very appropriate. Much enthusiasm should be shown to her for her ability as a writer and poet. As an English teacher she is splendid and capable too. May you have much success with your writing in the future, Mrs. McKey—Dolores Hartog. ORDER IN ASSEMBLIES Students, do we want to continue having student body assemblies? If we do we must discontinue the talking and general disturbances that been prevalent. Mr. Peterson and his decourm committee are determined to discover those who cause this disorder. So far no real offender has escape the notice of the committee in the five years Mr. Peterson has been member. Students, for the sake of courtesy to participants of the weekly pro¬grams to keep our individual records, clean, let's try to have perfect order in our assemblies.—Lyle Edson SYMPATHY To the parents and family of Darrell Pierce, one of our most beloved schoolmates, the Ogden High school extends its sympathy and condolence at the time of his passing. His many friends within our school will sadly miss him as the school years roll on.—Editors. VOLLEYBALL The junior girls completely upset the seniors in the volleyball tourna¬ment recently held at Ogden High. First, second and third places were captured with the following junior captains, Ruth White, Betty Milligan and Helen Abbott, respectively. The Ruth White team showed a well or¬ganized defense and a powerful of¬fense. Members are: Ruth White, Margaret Schott, Verna Mae Wig¬gins, Dorothy West, Josephine Stone, Violet Hill, Elfie Grasteit, Leatha Hess, Eileen Rose, Jewel Pounds and Adella Westbrook. Mrs. White and the head captains of the class are planning a hit-pin tournament to be held in the near future. Intense interest has been shown in this sport so far, and we hope as good a showing will be made as in volleyball.—Dorothy West. THINK! Think, for tomorrow it may be too late; Store all the knowledge you may. Think, for of thoughtlessness you won't be bait, And then to your friends you will say— "I thought and tried, and my goal I have won; I made its colors fly. I worked and played, but I stuck with my job |
