VACATION APPRECIATED Evey one awaits with great eager¬ness the Thanksgiving holidays. It is not only the turkey and other constituents of a tasty, Thanksgiv¬ing dinner for which one awaits with expectancy, but the five day holi¬day. Five long days to enjoy one's self, attending movies, participat¬ing in athletics, and going to the dances. Indeed, the Ogden High school students have much to be thankful for. Thus, even though they are enjoying themselves dur¬ing their vacation, they will remember on what ideals Thanksgiving is celebrated. SYMPATHY, REGRETS Upon hearing of the passing of one of the members of our student body, Glen G. Hadley, the Notes feel it proper to express the sympa¬thy of the Ogden High school to the family of this well remembered student. The junior class has lost a very worthwhile member. The school, as a whole, will, in the future, find that the passing of Glen Hadley is most unfortunate. We wish to make known to the family our sincere sympathy. CARPE DIEM TEA Members and pledges of Carpe Diem entertained at a Mother's tea last Wednesday in the music room. The regular meeting was conducted by the president, Jane Davis, after which an excellent program was given. Kiyoka Oda played two piano selections, "Etude," by Arensky, and "Seguidilla" by Albeniz. Arleen Haygood gave two readings, "The Song of the Shirt" by Thomas Hood, and "Carolyn's Auto Ride." Kent Clark read "The Fight Between "Old Dutch Cleanser and Kid Crisco" a humorous selection. Refreshments were served; then the meeting was adjourned—Clara Young, reporter. NOON MADNESS A dense all consuming fear overcomes me as I prepare for the mad frenzied rush for my locker just before the noon hour. I will know I have a very fierce and bone crushing experience ahead when I start to run the gauntlet to my haven of refuge, my locker. At last the bell rings, and I make my way out of the English class into the hall. As I slowly gather speed, class doors open and belch forth a congested mixture of boy and girls. I mingle, or rather crash with them, and begin my fight. Shoving, cross stepping, blocking and counter offensing aggressive moves, I slowly, but steadly, draw abreast with the leaders. Turning the corner, I reach the thick of the battle. With bruised shins, aching ribs, and a growing spark of exultation running through my limbs, I rapidly gain speed. My locker is now in sight. I run ahead once more. But no. A disastrous avalanche in the form of a friend descends upon me, and with what is intended to be a friendly token of good fellowship sends me to the floor with a well placed blow between the shoulder blades. Disgusted with myself for not hav¬ing seen him coming and feeling black and blue all over, I painstakingly drag my weary body the remaining distance, secure my coat, and wend my way home for lunch, where I will find after this harrowoing experience, food and rest— Ralph Halverson. BROADCAST ITEMS We present here a few thoughts that have been brought before the school of late by the principal Since 95 per cent of our boys are being furnished with excellent serge suits by the United States government, there is no reason why they should not appear very neat and tidy at all times. We have an ambition to have Ogden High school distinctive by the clean, neat, attractive appear-ance of all our boys and girls. Military regulations demand neatness, completeness of wearing apparel. Well organized society de¬mands the same things. We owe it to ourselves to be proud (not vain) of our personal appearance. We owe something also to the people associated with us, and who must look upon us day by day. It is all right to roll up your sleeves when tackling a tough phy¬sical job such as digging a trench, but you do not need them up to tackle your school lessons. Too many boys forget to but¬ton up their shirts when they come to school. Neckties are cheap, even in the rare cases where not furnished by the government we can all afford them. Let's wear them. Dirty cords may be collegiate (we doubt it), but they are not com¬plimentary to the student who wears them, nor the people who must see them. Men's dress has been stand¬ardized. Regimentation, standardi¬zation, custom, are sometimes hope¬ful, helpful. We can conform to established customs without losing our individuality. 10. There is but little criticism to be offered on the way our girls dress. They are usually, clean, neat attractive, appropriate. A few things might be said, however, on the over doing with lip stick, rogue, etc. TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1934. LIFE LONELY FOR STUDENTS OF CHEMISTRY Room Isolated From Rest of Building; Clock and Radio Lacking OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Are chemistry students inferior to other students of Ogden High school? You say "No." Why, then, have they not the privileges of other students? Why are they not informed of the latest announce-ments of school activities as the students of other classes? Why are they not allowed to know what time it is during class? How does the school expect to receive the support of the chemists at the school activi¬ties if the chemistry room is iso¬lated from the rest of the school? Will someone please answer these questions, and tell why the chem¬istry room is equipped with neither a clock nor a radio receiver?—The Chemists. JOIN RED CROSS! In every walk of life And over all the earth Amidst the cruelest strife Red Cross has shown its worth. So join this world-wide call, Oh, every loyal heart, Oh, join you one and all, Be proud to do your part! —Elizabeth Parkinson. MILITARY ASSEMBLY Commemorating the sixteenth anniversary of the end of the World war, the student-body Mon y held a special assembly in hon-r of the occasion. The band played two martial airs and we heard, as the speaker, Mr. Royal J. Douglas, an Ogden lawyer. Mr. Douglas spoke concerning the war and the immediate period after the conflict. Mr. Merrill also made a few re¬marks in keeping with the spirit of the day. We were pleased to note the presence of the cadets in their full uniform. Their attend¬ance in uniform of a unit of the army added greatly to the feeling of patriotism that was evident in the audience. WAR ON ILLITERACY What a strange world this must be to people who cannot read or write. Suppose you could not write a letter, read a book, or the news¬paper. What a dreary existence! Yet in the United States there are 4,000,000 illiterate people and 8,000,- 000 who are classed as "near il¬literates." About a year ago the war on il¬literacy was declared. In continu¬ation of this war the federal emer-gency relief administration plans to have unemployed teachers teach the illiterate. With the uneducated person being given such a chance, it is evident that he will be better fitted for better jobs. Illiteracy in this country has de¬creased from 13.5 per cent in 1890 to 4.3 per cent in 1930. The drive on illiteracy during the Hoover ad¬ministration helped a great deal. Now with a nation-wide drive under way, I believe that before long nearly every person above the age of six will be able to read and write.—Velma Hunter. WHY SEE UTAH FIRST? Many people seem to think that in order to see new and interesting things that they must leave the state or even go abroad. This is a mistake common to most everyone. However, if one is but eager, ob¬servant, and ambitious, he will dis¬cover that his own surroundings contain unusual subjects just as in¬teresting as those found abroad. First our canyon to the east of us is considered one of the most beautiful canyons in the United States. Further, this same canyon is the result of some of the most complicated changes found in the world. Anyone, no matter how ig¬norant of geological facts he may be, has but to drive through Ogden canyon and observe the various formations of its walls to realize that here, indeed, Mother Nature has wrought many a great geologi¬cal change. Although Ogden canyon is a fea¬ture of interest and pride to the in¬habitants of Ogden, we have to the south of us scenic attractions which are unrivaled the world over for their priceless glories; namely, Zion's canyon, Bryce canyon, Ce¬dar Brakes, and Kaibab forest. The southern part of our state is indeed called "The Land of Flaming Can¬yons and Prismatic Amphitheatres." These beautiful, ancient master¬pieces of the ages contain all sorts of vari-colored, weird formations. Formations so queer they seem al¬most to be the fantasies of an over¬wrought imagination are here por¬trayed in a gorgeous color scheme, that only nature could create. A beautiful description of these can¬yons is given by Whittier: "Touched by glory that hath no name, A glory never sung. Aloft on sky and mountain high, Are God's great pictures hung." So wonderful are these gorgeous canyons — Kaibab forest, Cedar Brakes, and other scenic wonders of Utah that every inhabitant of this state should feel it his duty to see them and realize the generosity with which nature has bestowed its greatest beauties at your feet.— Harold Barnett. HAVE YOU NOTICED? The fourth great "Triumphirate —Earl, Jane and Stew? (Never one without the other, so it seems.) How well the sponsors look in their uniforms? That the A. C. fellows still rate? That these junior girls don't stop with seniors? Oh, my no! That the notes are sadly lacking in humor? What can the matter be? Plenty of material is sent in. Why isn't it published? That these senior girls are just too much.—Zipper. P. S.—The R. O. T. C. officers look well in their uniforms, too.
