Show Mar 7 4 QUEEN TO BE SELECTED FOR CLASSICALIA Assembly Called Friday To Nominate Girls For Honor OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor There are about two hundred Senior girls in our high school. All of them are very charming and gracious. Who, out of all these girls, will be chosen snow queen and reign Supreme over that dance of dances— the Classicalia? On March 8th there will be an Assembly called for the purpose of nominating girls for the honor of being Snow Queen: on the 12th of March an assembly will be held for the first ballot. In this assembly the number of nominees will be cut down to eight, and they will be in¬troduced to the school at large in an assembly on the fifteenth of this month. On March 18, two girls will be chosen out of the eight, and they will be introduced March 22. On March 26 the final balloting will take place. The results of this ballot will be made known on the night of the Classicalia. This rigorous routine of choosing our queen is employed so that there will not be any danger of favoritism or mistakes. So, students of Ogden High, as the time is drawing near | for the balloting, you had better look around you and choose the girl whom, because of her charm and graciousness, you believe to be the best fitted to be our queen—Barbara Clark. PIRATES ON AIR What ho for television! Wouldn’t you like to see those swash buckling pirates that charmed us on the air last night? Wouldn't you like to find out if they are as desperate and as blood thirsty as they would have us believe? Shiver my timbers! But, a perfect pirate has to be something more than a voice. Aye, and by thunder! He must appeal to the eye as well as to the ear. Island ahoy! You can't see pirates digging treasures through the radio. An island setting is an absolute necessity. And by the powers, it shall be furnished when the opera is presented at Washington Junior on March 15. Huzza there my hearties! The Lady Joan! Her voice is charming but wait 'till you see her in the proper setting. Pieces of Eight! Avast there! Who Said anything about Pieces of Eight? The price is one little piece of silver —25c. Student body tickets will be honored in the afternoon. Forty men on the Nancy Lee! Bring your friends; don't fail to come! Pirates brave and bold they be!' Yo-ho ho and a bottle of rum! —L. R. F. MIRIAM TUELLER WINS Monday afternoon, March 5, in the annual D. A. R. oratorical contest, held this year at Knob Hill, Miriam Tueller, whose oration was entitled "Taking the Profit out of War," was given first place. The judges were two local members of the organiza¬tion and one visiting member from an Eastern chapter. Miriam will be presented with a medal on Honor day at Ogden High school. Jane Davis won second place with her oration, "Security for the Un¬employed." She will receive a certi¬ficate of honor. The other two con¬testants were Marie Manning, who spoke on "The Position of Woman in the Modern Industrial World," and Ruby Smith, junior, whose sub¬ject was "Old Age Pensions." All the girls did exceptionally good work, and the school can feel proud of the manner in which it was represented. Mrs. McKey, who had charge of the contest, put in a good many extra hours, but feels well repaid for the effort. She wishes to thank Mrs. Newcomb for her cooperation, and all other teachers who may have given suggestions of help.

Fine work, fellows! alities joining together in a unforgetable evening of merrymaking? That's exactly what it's going to be. If you are an old sober sleepy-head, you had better curl up in your shell and forget about the whole affair for there will be something doing every second and loads of thrills and excitement. Featured at the dance will be our queen, and you all can guess what that means! Who will it be? Far be it from me to say which of the hundreds of lovely girls will be the honored one! Only time and Walter Winchell can tell! There are only 28 more days to get that 40 (or 75 cents) and go to the Berthana ballroom. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more detailed information con¬cerning the Classicalia. — Winnie Winchell. TEACHER FINDS BASS FIDDLE THAT OF DAD'S Father Played Upon It 45 Years, He Says; Coach Praised OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. A band member has the misfor¬tune last week to drop the bass drum upon the bass violin, damag-ing the latter greatly. E. S. Smith, teacher, was asked Tuesday to assist in taking the violin to the repair shop. As his eyes fell upon the in¬strument, he said: "Why, that's my dad's big fiddle; he played upon that for 45 years." And E. S. was right. The school purchased the instrument from Frank Harris, who had secured it from the Smith fam¬ily after the death of the father, J P. Smith, a life-long musician and printer of Logan. Taylor, Beth Cardon and Roberta Liming. The public is cordially invited to attend this recital; their time will be well spent. Especially are high school students urged to come. INQUIRY MADE Dear Editor: We are sending this to you that you may print it for the offender to see and answer. It has been rather forcibly brought to our attention that a well known Ogden High school boy has been keeping very steady company with one of Weber County High school's prettiest girls, the initial of her first name corresponding to that of his last. We are proud to be your rival in sports but need we contest you for the love of our own classmate?—The Loyal Warriors. CONFUCIOUS, HE SAY—. Never slap a man in the face when he is chewing tobacco. All the cheap skates are not on hockey players. A bone in the pocketbook is worth two in the head. School work is about as welcome as something moving in a raisin cake." If you can't make both ends meet, make one vegetable. Money means nothing to me, I , have none of it. The man who is up a tree looks down on many dogs. England took Ghandi but they didn't get his goat.—Ling Poo. SWALLOWS HUNT WOOL PERRY, N. Y. — (UP)— Wool thieves in the persons of swallows have made their appearance here. Noticing several of his sheep with bald spots on their backs, Charles Nestor, farmer, kept a close watch to discover the cause. He saw a flock of swallows swoop down on the sheep, land on their back, and fly away with a beak full of wool, apparently to line their nests for the cold winter. POSTERS CALL ATTENTION TO CLASSICALIA Mar. 8 Striking Art Work Used In Campaign Before Costume Party OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The Classicalia will soon be here. In order that no student shall say he didn't know about it, Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Stewart and others are conducting an advertising cam¬paign for this costume dance, which is so important in the annals of our school social activities. Mr. Farnsworth has rallied around him girls and boys who have talent in writing for the written advertising. Mr. Stewart has employed the talent of his students for the posters. Gayety and sauciness; comedy and romance! These are the themes of the posters done by talented pupils of Mr. Stewart. If the students of Ogden High possess any observing powers at all, they will not have missed the gay banners and the posters hangang in the school hall¬ways since Thursday morning. The romantic Pierrette and Pierrot, the festive Mexican dancers, the comical pictures of some of the faculty, and the banners with their brilliantly colored catch-words could not but help catch the eye of every student that passes through the halls. The art students and Mr. Stewart have put much thought and labor into their work. Come on, fellow students, let's rally to the cause and show our appreciation by buying a ticket to the Classicalia.—Barbara Clark. TWO NEW FRIENDS At a most delightful and im¬pressive initiation and supper at Velma Hunter's home, with Thelma Redfield assisting, Monday evening, A. D. M. welcomed two pledges into the rank of members. These charm¬ing girls were Lucille Hansen and Margaret Moyes, two of the best students, sports, and friends to be found at Ogden High. The members are truly proud to have such girls as their fellow members, whose pur¬pose it is to become, as the club's SCHOOL HOLDS CLASSICALIA THIS EVENING March 29 Costume Party In Berthana Will Have Numerous Attractions OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Tonight we go to the Mardi Gras. After a long wait, the big night is Here.

All next week will be our spring vacation, one long week in which to recuperate and make up for lost time. The students will be refreshed when they return to school a week Monday, eager to continue student activities; the teachers will be revived from the strain of having to teach us for seven months ready to renew teach¬ing tactics. All in all this coming holiday is much deserved, desired, and a need¬ed one. TRACK Now that basketball suits have been packed away until next sea¬son, the huskies of the school are concentrating on preparations for the track season. Coach Dick Kapple announces a great number of men have reported for instruction in the art of run¬ning, jumping and hurdling. May the Tigers repeat the success they had in basketball as the track season progresses. CREATORS IN CLAY Thursday morning I was given an opportunity I have always longed for, the opportunity of learning how the beautiful plaques belonging to that branch of art, the basrelief, are made. I spent a very interesting morning as Mr. Stewart explained to me how first the picture is sketched on the clay, then the parts that are nearest our eyes are raised from the flat surface by piling clay on them, smoothing it over, and pil¬ing more on until the contours of the picture are filled out to the ex¬tent that it has taken on a natural aspect. He then showed me two of the clay plaques which the students had finished and left to dry. Cardboard was fenced around them. "What are they for?" I asked. He explained the students would pour soft plas¬ter of paris over the clay model, and the cardboard fence would prevent it running all over. Plaster when wet is soft and will flow into all the crevices of the model, and when hardened will become the mold of the clay model. After all that work it seems the student is far from finished. He must let the mold harden and then separate it from the clay. Then he pours some more plaster of paris into the mold and allows that to harden. As he has first greased the RARE PRAISE OFFERED At our celebration on Monday, Al Warden said: “Dixon Kapple is not only the best high school basketball coach in Utah; he is the best in the entire west.” |
