SCHOOL EAGER TO GET COPIES OF YEARBOOK Nov. 23, 1934 Beginning To Appreciate Value of Early Records OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. We express our thanks to Mrs. Wade Johnson for copies of the Classicum and also to the Woody Printing company for yearbooks of 1905, 1912 and 1914. We are just beginning to appre¬ciate the value of Ogden High school's early records. We invite our friends who have issues of 20, 30 and 40 years ago to make contrib¬utions to the high school providing they are of no particular service to them. We should like a complete file for the school. NO CONNECTION Fairy: What in the world could a fairy have to do with a history test? I looked at the blackboard again to make sure that I was right, but still I couldn't see how a fairy (or any other woman for that mat¬ter) could be classed as history. I cocked my head from side to side (I was, in reality, trying to peek on someone's paper, but people surely get hunch-backed when they get pondering over a paper). Finally I decided to close my eyes to see if that would help. Sure enough it did, for when I shut my eyes I could see (in imagination, of course) some of the most beautiful women. Still, when I stopped to think, I couldn't see the answer to that question. Again I turned to the question "Show What Harper's Ferry had to do With Slavery." Now, I decided to tantalize it or analyze it, or something similar. Maybe Mr. --- meant a picture show with the name "Harper's Ferry." I could clearly see how he beat her, and how she crumpled to the deck of his fairy—just a min¬ute, maybe he meant a fairy boat— that boat invented by a fairy to haul women across ditches so that men could have a little peace for a while. Again I glanced at the question, and I noticed that it said Harper's. I'll bet our teacher meant that the slaves had died and turned into fairies and thus became harp players. Gosh! that could not be correct though because they say that fairies are very white and one can see them in the dark and you sure¬ly could not see a darn fairy in the dark. Goodness me, the more I think the worse I get, so I guess I must answer the question like the guy behind me did. "Harper's fairy was a raft that was hauling slaves across the Columbia river in the year 1850, but a Ger¬man gunboat shot it up, and killed all the poor little slaves (the brutes) —Royal Cragun, Luxo, R.C. A QUESTION Dear Editor: I am quite sure that there are a number of students, most of them seniors, who would like further in¬formation regarding the senior class pins and rings. My question is this: "How much deposit is required to order a senior class pin?" I assure you that this information will be appreciated.—Curious Senior. Dear Curious Senior: A deposit of $2.50 for large and $2 for small, is required to order a senior class pin.—Editor. SLUFFING Most students are A.W.O.L. be¬cause of the monotony of school work. However, with some, it is a case of unpreparedness. Some stu¬dents after failing to study for a forthcoming exam, decide it would be easier to stay out and make it up later. This procedure, if suc¬cessful, is sometimes profitable. But if a student continues to do this he will eventually get caught. Any student who stays out either because he is tired of school, or be¬cause of fear of an exam, is under¬mining his character. He soon finds that it is pleasant and easy. How¬ever, if this same student stays in school, bears the monotony, faces his exams and takes his just des¬serts, he will find that not only is he respected by his teachers, but also he has a feeling that he has done the right thing by himself.— A. W. Wend. A. D. M. REPORT The following pledges were made members of Amigos Del Mundo, on Saturday, November 17: Seniors, Sarah Stephenson, Verla Cunning¬ham, Elaine Brown; juniors: Elsada Carlson, Thelma Redfield, Velma Hunter, Francis Parry, Elizabeth Price. A delightful buffet supper was served.—Floris Anderson. A GOOD RATE Ogden High school has secured a party rate of $3.40 for a trip to and from Pocatello on Saturday. We leave at eight-fifty a.m. and leave Pocatello about six p.m. the same evening. We invite any interested |to join our party. The rate applies to those only who join the party. Arrangements may be made to re¬turn Sunday or Monday, if desired. SCRIBBLIN'S Miss Ballinger feels called upon to state that she does not entirely agree with Mr. Merrill's ideas concerning masculine and feminine ap¬parel. Better keep away from state pa¬trolmen, Jim, they are pretty tough. The Scribbler is suffering from a severe case of tributietus. After four long, hours of toil, he has just succeeded in finding something to rhyme with cursed. If you are seeking to be amused ask Phil for a peek at his short, short story. How did Salt Lake agree with you Max? Pat and Wayne seem to be having a rather hard time to recover from their trip to Butte. What was it, men, a blonde? What happened to my glass of water, Ernie? Wanted: An enterprising young archeologist to discover and com¬pile data on the ancient report of radiator romancing. Also wanted: The U. S. Marine band, the Ringling Bros., circus and Cab Calloway's Harlemaniacs to put a little pep into the seventh period study in 306B. COMMENTS Our football boys are making an¬other journey this week end. This time, however, we wish them luck at Pocatello, and hope that no more of the players will return with broken arms and other injuries. To the seniors a request is made to send in their orders immediately for class pins or rings. You had better hurry! High school is sponsoring its Thanksgiving dance this Wednes¬day, fellows. Have you your dates? Hooray! With delight and enthus¬iasm the student body at Ogden High school expressed its thanks to the board for the Thanksgiving holi¬days. On the last day, Wednesday, we remember that we receive our cards. FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1934. FAST RUNNERS REWARDED BY USE OF GLASS Short Statured Ones Must Let Thatch Grow As It May OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Faster and faster I ran as I dodged past people, teachers and doors. Could I possibly make it? I struggled to increase my now neck breaking pace, but some pretty girl got in my way and I had to put my¬self in reverse to avoid a crash. Again I was off! Again I crouch¬ed low (almost like Woody Call) for I expected a sudden stop. Ah, there was the stairway. At last I had nearly reached my obejctive. Encouraged by my success, I charged toward the stairs, but again I was almost brought to a halt. (Mr. Peterson was looking in my direction). At last I found my¬self racing up those once distant stairs. Again I asked myself if I could possibly reach my goal in time to get a peek in the mirror at my once beautiful "head moss." I almost flew into the basement, my face lit with eager expectation, but alas! I had used up several thousand vitamins (or some such animal) and had miserably failed. I had failed to capture a mirror be¬cause there is only one there, and there were at least forty worthy stu¬dents doing the "ostrich neck" try¬ing to catch a glimpse of their in¬nocent little faces in that popular glass. NEW MIRRORS NEEDED Someone might wonder why I couldn't do the same and crane my neck until I had combed my un-tamed hair. No, I couldn't do that j as I am just a little better than five and one-half feet tall. (Thomas and Revell look like giants to me). No, I must content myself and let my hair grow as Mother Nature desired, I suppose. It's no wonder I am not as beautiful as some of the fast runners. Still, as I think it over, I believe it would be a swell idea to let each boy contribute a few cents so that we can have sev¬eral nice new mirrors installed. Not only would this save the beauty of the masculine class but it would pro- more radiator romance, keep boys from being late for classes, from breaking speed limits in the halls, and from getting fallen arches standing on their toes in order to get altitude.—Luro R. C. CONTINUE SUPPORT To those juniors who were not fortunate in being selected by the English teachers as possible choice for the positions of associate ed¬itors of the Notes or Classicum, and consequently unable to be elected by Council, may we offer encourage¬ment and hopes that they will still continue to contribute articles for publication. The fact that the prospective ed¬itors for next year are chosen does not mean that further contributions from all the students will not be accepted, providing, of course, the material is suitable for publication. So, don't let Council's decision spell finis to your journalism career, but do all you can to help the Notes column continue to be a big suc¬cess.—B. T. ILLITERATE'S DIARY November 9: Gee, a fello hasn't got a chance any more. Today i got excused af¬ter the fifth period on account of i thot i was sick. After i got out of skool, i found that i wasn't sick at all; no matter, i thot i'd like to see the wild west show that was play- in, which i did. And wen i got home i'll be darned if some dum girl hadn't called up my mother to set_ how i was feelin. There ain't nf justice. I'm so ood in engliss that i, think i' beter git beter posted on- curent events in case somebdy, asks me to explain it to em. There is one thing now that's puzzlin nje, and that's this "new deal." i've herd of squar deals, good deals, and etc. but i never herd of a new deal be¬fore, ges its sumpin someone invent¬ed just to get peeple like me mixed up. A TOAST TO LESSONS Lessons are the bubbles in the champagne of school. Where they come from, how they originate, and when they will come is not known. However, if they were not there, it just wouldn't be school, is if the bubbles were missing in that known drink, it wouldn't be champagne at all. When you drink from the glass of knowledge, lessons are always present. Some times you miss them they flip from the glass and are lost in space. What good are the bubbles? Are these necessary? Champagne can't be brewed without them; likewise, school can't be carried on without lessons. At times lessons seem to compose all of the beverage. With¬out them school is flat.—Margaret Neal. SATURDAY'S GAME Our football season closes with our game with Weber High school on Saturday. The game is held under the auspices of the American Le¬gion and as a part of Armistice day celebration. In a very true sense this will be a climactic ending as Weber High is our nearest, dearest competitor and we always enjoy playing with them. (Perhaps the fact that we usually win) has some¬thing to do with this. Anyway we play for the city championship and it will be a real game. Every cit¬izen in Weber county should attend this game.
