Associate Editor. Students, as members of Ogden High school, you are urged to buy, immediately, your class rings and pins. Last year the rings for the boys were $6.25; this year they will sell for $5.40. Last year rings for the girls were priced at $5.60; this year they will sell for $4.25. Such reductions are to your advantage, seniors, and it is your chance to jump at the opportunity. Only three weeks time is needed for the delivery of your order. Hurry. You are seniors only once in your lives, therefore buy a remembrance of your high school days that will last you a life time. Let Ogden High school have the unprecedented rec¬ord of influencing five hundred sen¬iors to purchase five hundred rings and pins. ZETA PHI XI Have you ever noticed how many small things lack attention in our school? There are so many small and simple things which, if they were attended to, would make our school a much better and more en¬joyable place to come to daily. If there were a new couch in the rest room, new books in the library, more pictures for the walls, more plants and flowers for the windows, and less tramping on the lawn, and more smiles and cheery greetings, how much pleasanter our day would be. It was toward this object that Zeta Phi Xi was working when its members filled the window boxes in the rest room with plants. This step was a small one toward the great objective, to be sure, but a sure one. Now instead of plain, drab boxes, in the window there are green ferns and by spring there will be beau¬tiful spring flowers blooming there to brighten the atmosphere of the building not only on the inside but on the outside as well. Zeta Phi Xi wishes to carry this idea on and to urge every other school club to do the same and t take up some objective for the bene fit of the school. After all, school clubs are or should be organized for the betterment of the school; therefore, they are almost duty-bound to do something for the school if they are to be called a school club. Therefore, no matter how trivia a thing a club wishes to take up, we wish everyone of them would do it; part to improve in some way or other our school and students. SCHOOL DAYS Four and a half months of learn¬ing have been completed in Ogden High school. It has been a semester of much drilling, and yet we have all enjoyed it and have gained, some useful knowledge. Many of us will be glad to start a new semester. This will bring the end of school for most of us, but many of us are anxious to get into the higher branches of learn¬ing. It would be wonderful if we were all given the opportunity of going to college. Several of us think that school is a waste of time. All of us have heard older people tell us that our school days are the best days of our lives. Prom any standpoint we can see that this is true. Our trou¬bles come after we graduate. Let us greet the new semester with cheers. This is a new era in our school life. In every class we shall begin to study the things that interest us now. "Buckle down" and get to work. Our award will come in our later life.—Dolores Hartog. MANNERS STRESSED One of the things that an edu¬cated person should have is man¬ners. In the business world, a man is judged by his manners, as well as by other important things. I re¬call a story of three men who ap-plied for the same position. In the manager's room, a book was lying on the floor. When the first man came into the room, he did not stop to pick up the book. The second man also ignored it. The third man quietly picked up the book, laid it on the manager's desk. He got the job because of his thoughtfulness in picking up a little thing like a book. He did not forget his manners. How many of us know etiquette but forget to observe it. In business, social, and family world, we should never forget our manners, for little courtesies bring bigger returns than we expect. If you should be a little ignorant of your manners, study an etiquette book.—Lilian Kadoike. JUST CHATTER S.O.S. is the best club in high school. Ask the girls. Johnny, don't tell me that your Salt Lake girl friend is stopping you from getting around. Congratulations, Roy, after three years romance we hear that you finally succeeded in getting Dixie "that way" about you. Grant and Edna seem to affect each other the same way. Both pre¬fer each other but don't want the other one to know it. Bill Taylor, you shouldn't be so impetuous. Tsch. Tsch. Breaking La Vin's glasses when the lights went out on the I-Wanno-O party. OFFICERS ELECTED Last night at the regular meeting of Congress the semi-annual election of officers was held. Following are the new officers: President, Marie Manning; vice president, Marion Wheelock; secre¬tary, Verna Forbes; and treasurer, Lois Allen. We know that these new officers will further the prog¬ress and interests of the club and make for a better, more interesting Congress in the coming months. JUST IMAGINE THIS--- J. Bundy staying in school in the afternoon. B. Taylor being conceited. V. Tracy going steady with C. Woodcock. Cooke being engaged. Crane and J. Burton going on a vacation. R. Lowe sluffing school. G. Smith giving a big geometry assignment. TEACHERS CHANGE Miss Lamont Poulter has returned to school and has taken over her morning classes. T. O. Smith has returned to the part time school for morning work. STUDENTS GREGARIOUS Students seem to be more or less gregarious in the selection of sub¬jects. Last semester sociology was taboo; no one seemed to want to take it. This semester they have lit¬erally dropped into sociology classes by groups and crowds. MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1935. PUPILS URGED TO GET PHOTO TAKEN EARLY Annual Planned To Be More Interesting Than Ever Before OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor This year, in order to make the book more interesting to both jun¬iors and seniors, all juniors' pictures will be in the annual. Students must have pictures taken according to directions given to photographers. Any pictures not in accordance with these regulations will not be accept¬ed. No pictures will be accepted after February 1. Please put the name and the section the picture is to appear in on the back of it.— R. L. V. C. DAY DREAM URGED. I can't seem to realize why a poor hard-working student isn't allowed to day-dream just a little bit. If I let my thoughts wander and start to think how lovely my honey look¬ed under the light of the moon, I am immediately and rudely inter¬rupted by some sharp remark slam¬med my way on how I'm going to fail or get kicked out of class. I only wish that teacher would leave me alone once in a while. It seems as though she is always picking on me. Some day when I get to be a principal or governor or something, I'll show her. She'll be sorry she didn't treat me nice when she had a chance.—Goo Goo. COUNTERUPPERS REPORT. Our recent challenge to teachers for a "super" contest for the honor of Queen of Fast Talkers, was an¬swered, it seems, by the whole school. Letters and telegrams from nearly every room in the building have been received by us in the last twenty-four hours. While, from Miss Ballinger, we have received a spe¬cial delivery letter demanding another trial. "Well, Miss Ballinger, if you still think you can beat Mrs. Newcomb, you shall have another chance." Results from this "super" contest will be announced in the near fu¬ture.—The Three Spare Ribs. WE SHALL NEVER FORGET Emmett's "get-'em" line. Huh, Avon? Stew's funny greenish sweater. Dixie's changeable hair. Mrs. Newcomb's laugh. Mutt's fists. Dean, "having herself a time." Carpe Diem's neon sign . Noisy Company A. Roy Peck's seconding the motion. A picture of Bill Taylor ten years ago. Earl's hair. Glenn L. Hanson's blushing. —Two Old-Fashioned Minnies. Miss Ballinger tried every front seat in her room to see if it squeak¬ed? (Romeo's article said one of them did.) Royal Cragun is so gloomy. (Is it because he had to leave Morgan and Bertha?) Cliff Larsen has quit the girls. (Is it because my constant training has taken effect?) Someone doesn't choke those elas¬tic flippers during the fifth period study in the library. (Later—they have been confiscated). That blond (name unknown) gives Bud Wardle that "let's get acquainted" look every time they pass in the hall. (Did someone tip her off that beauty is only skin deep?) Mr. Hancock thinks that William Phelps is a duck hunter.—Yur Sun CRACK COMPANY. Inasmuch as the date of the Cadet hop is not far in the future, the R. O. T. C. department last week organized the "crack company." For the information of the juniors, the "crack company" is a full company of selected cadets. These cadets drill each day until the big dance. At the Cadet hop this com¬pany gives an exhibition of the R. O. T. C. marvel of arms. Usually the performance of the "crack company" is unique and in¬teresting. From all reports the crack company of this year will do itself proud at the R. O. T. C. dance. HALF YEAR. This week, those students who are taking half-year subjects will be obliged to choose a suitable sub¬ject for the final half of the year. A wise selection of subjects now will save numerous headaches as the year goes on. Thus, we urge all students to choose wisely as regards subjects for the next half. HURRY! HURRY! The Accolade is only two weeks away, girls, only two weeks! Hurry and ask your best boy friend before someone else asks him. It is up to every single member of the Girls' association to make this dance one of the outstanding social events of the year. The Accolade will cost seventy- five cents a couple, a price which is very moderate considering all the places to which the follows have escorted their girl friends during the past few months. Furthermore, seventy-five cents is a small price to pay for one grand and glorious evening of pleasure. There are at least five hundred girls at Ogden High school; let's sell five hundred tickets. All other students from college or junior high are most cordially invited to attend the season's gala affair—the Accolade. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, ACTION LOOMS IN OPERA 'JOAN OF NANCY LEE" Villains Nab Ship With Captain's Love and Bridesmaids OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. Hear ye. Hear ye. The most gi¬gantic, stupendous, colossal and magnificent production of the year is under way. Of course this feature could only be the Ogden High school opera, "Joan of the Nancy Lee." The annual opera has a reputa¬tion of being good, and this year it looks as if it would be bigger and better than ever before. The music this year is not as heavy as it has been in some years past, but this should only improve the calibre of the entertainment, as greater opportunity for action is afforded. Throughout the opera the songs are light and rollicking—typ¬ical of the sea. A group of gentlemen pirates, wo¬man haters all, whose captain takes to the sea because he has been be¬trayed by his love, (and incidentally falsely accused of treason by his black hearted cousin). And when this group of soft hearted villains captures a ship containing the cap¬tain's love and her bridesmaids re¬turning from Paris with the trous¬seau, well—then you have action and plenty of it.—Wayne Bundy. HUMAN NATURE It seems as if it is just human nature to object to criticism. We humans consider ourselves uncriticizable, supremely excellent. As the editors are, after all, no more than human, subject to human faults and excentricities, the attitude they took recently in regard to some very timely criticism might be forgiven. However, if the editors had been less hasty, if they had considered the facts behind the criticism, I am sure they would have taken an en¬tirely different stand in regard to it. It seems to me that when a stu¬dent offers criticism with the hope of reforming, those in charge of the department that would profit by the reform should recognize and appre¬ciate his efforts. Certainly they should not take an extremely re¬sentful attitude as did the editors. It might be well to point out to the almighty editors that the crit¬icism was not directed at them. It was directed at the students of this school—those who write such feath¬er brained articles, and those who let real literary ability go to waste while such tomfoolery remains un¬disposed as an example of Ogden High's literature. It is not too late for the editors to repent their action. It is not too late to build up some real literary notes. Therefore, I challenge the editors to reconsider the criticism that has been offered, and I chal¬lenge the student body to consider it. If the editors can correct their disastrous bulldoggedness, if the students can dig deep and bring out some real worth-while articles, it might be possible to have a decent work, has probably done more than anything else to prolong the de¬pression." A NEW CHAPTER And now cometh the teachers and sayeth "you must be in class on time or trouble awaits you." It seemeth there beginneth a new era.
