Show mold the second block of plaster is easily separated from the mold. Then on the table lying before the student is the product of all his work and care. Mr. Stewart showed me a shiny white plaque, an Indian head, copied from our nickel coin which had been made by one of his stu¬dents of several years ago. This I realized with a thrill, was the fin-ished product. On the walls there was another plaque which was of the same mold, but had a bronze finish. "How is it that this one is white and that one is the color of bronze?" I asked. "That plaque has been covered with a bronze paint," he answered. There I stood with the two pla¬ques and as I returned them to Mr. Stewart, the thought came to me that never again would I look at the plaques hanging on the walls of public buildings or private homes without seeing in my mind's eye the skillful fingers creating the beauty that was now hanging before my eyes.—Barbara Clark. THOUGHTS It's a great life, if you know when to weaken. Don't stop, look and listen; act, think and run. Greatness makes a great man greater; love spurs him to the heights. Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead and the third is not a woman. Early to bed and late to rise makes a man stay awake, even in Latin. DISCOVERY Apparently one student at high school has made a great discovery. He reveals his thoughts in this poetic form: For many years I lived alone And gave no thought to love's sweet drone. But now it seems my life has changed, And Cupid's found his mark again. I thought that love would always spoil. A man's clear thoughts of life and toil, But now I see a different tale Has gained its place to long pre¬vail. It will, I know, now, spur me on To life that better things belong, So that her favor may remain, Until I take her down life's lane. —Joe Harrop. ANONYMOUS All students should realize that no newspaper, no magazine, no pub¬lisher, will publish any anonymous writing unless the real name of the' writer is known to the editors. The necessity of this practice is obvious. The publication of any article en¬tails responsibility, liability. One who writes must of necessity stand back of his utterances. Perhaps this explanation will help some students to understand why their effusions do not find placement in "school notes." A good rule to follow is to sign your name to anything that you wish published. If you do not wish to have credit for what you write, why write? AUCTION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY S.O.S. CLUB Classicalia Booth Rights Will Be Sold To High¬est Bidders OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The shipmates of S. O. S. have once more come ashore to hold the most gigantic, stupendous and tre¬mendous sale in all the history of O. H S. On Friday, the fifteenth, a public auction will be held in the auditorium of our fair school. The booths for the Classicalia will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Clubs! Recognize the opportunity, consider the publicity and prestige, and above all, come to assembly prepared to buy a booth, even if it becomes necessary to mortgage your charter. The Classicalia this year will be a monstrous street dance, carnival and Mardi Gras, all combined. There will be picturesque booths all over the hall, selling balloons, soda water, candy, ice cream and cake, peanuts, popcicles and polar pies, and lastly a mystic magical for¬tune teller. Each and every one of these booths is a veritable gold mine. A prize will be given to the club which has the most attrac¬tive and colorful booth. So come one, come all, to assembly and buy a booth. The Classicalia will be the biggest dance of the year.—Ad¬miral Doone. WRAPPED FOR MARKET NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- (UP) -- A hen owned by Mrs. J. T. Shelton of Donelson laid an egg all ready for market. It came into the world wrapped in tissue paper, or cellophane, if you prefer, by some strange chemical phenomenon. Japan will war on leprosy. presented by Ogden High School? —L. R. F. SPEAKER Professor Walter Neville, head of the sociology department at Weber college, spoke to T. A. Smith's fifth period sociology class Monday; Pro¬fessor Neville spoke on the social trends of Utah as to the phases of population. Everyone gained much from the talk and wishes to thank Professor Neville for coming. QUEENS NOMINATED In the queen elimination contest held Tuesday, the following were winners: Ruth Lavin Cragun, Harriet Curtwright, Jane Davis, Barbara Foulger, Dorothy Hall, Phyllis Meyer, Dorothy Scowcroft, Clara Young. At the next election six of these will be eliminated, giving us a queen and a maid of honor. OUR QUEEN TO BE Marvelous, she really is. Amiable, yet , Reserved. Gorgeous, to perceive; Romantic enough to be Entertainingly Thrilling. Grateful for your votes. A Delightful a Darling I know she'll be an Elegant queen. —Mort Rackham. FOR QUEEN We have an ideal girl in Ogden High school for our queen. She is the kind of girl that always is thinking of her friends and her school first, not herself. She has been outstanding in school activi-ties without monopolizing them. She possesses poise, dignity and the art of making friends and keeping them. In no way is she a snob. Her un¬deniable charm has made her a favorite with both the male and female sex. For all these reasons and many others not mentioned we firmly believe that Jane Davis should be the queen to reign at the Classicalia of Ogden High school March 29. Ogden High would be proud to point her out as "our queen." Jane for queen!—Aces. ALL-STAR SELECTIONS Phil Revell and LaMar Briggs of Ogden High were chosen by a num¬ber of news writers as members of the all-state basketball team. The selection of these two fellows from our school was due to their brilliant performances as the state finals tried in Salt Lake. Phil and LaMar are to be congrat¬ulated for having impressed the sport writers and fans by their spectacular work for the Tigers. Captain Adam and Chuck Norton were named on the second team. To Adam and Chuck we say, "Congrat¬ulations!" GLARE PROVES BEST WEAPON TEACHER USES Heavy Eyebrows Helpful In Putting Scholars In Their Places OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. The power of the little word, "Glare," is grossly under-rated. Do you realize the most formidable weapon that the teacher possesses is a well directed glare? Glares have won and lost battles, turned the tide of defeat, and enabled the frustrated teacher to gain his com¬posure. A sincere co-operation on the part of the expressionist and a lot of practice are the main fundamentals of the successful "glarer." The abil¬ity to look convincing, a plastic face with which to express grimaces and a large imagination are also con¬tributing factors. After gathering facts during 10 1/2 years of school life and watching the most experienced "glarers," our beloved teachers, in action, I have recorded a few vivid characteristics that are used with success. Heavy black eyebrows, slanting up and outward over a rustic pair of spectacles, give a most terrifyihg appearance. If heavy eyebrows are lacking, the same effect may be de¬rived by the wrinkling of the fore¬head and a slight curling of the lips. Narrowed eyes and a notice¬able increase in the breathing also have the desired effect. I have ob¬served that if a teacher can manage a red face, clinch and unclinch his hands, and omit gurgling noises, a tense atmosphere can be created that soon frightens the student in¬to obedience. This situation can be helped by a fine network of veins that traverse the forehead and which burst into prominence when the ire is raised, thus giving the at¬titude of an explosive temperament. I have found these peculiar traits do not diminish with time but have durability of iron itself and never fail to wrest from the student the best his brain contains.—Ralph Halverson. ARITHMETIC OF OPERA One supervisor, Mark Robinson, who is recognized for his outstanding work in the field of music; one splendid director, Glenn L. Hanson, —long may he stay with Ogden High; two acts, not a dull moment in either; to add flavor and variety, three special dances; 29 carefully selected principals who have worked untiringly to achieve perfection; 20 rip-roaring pirates whose dormant desires to do blood-curdling deeds have at last been satisfied; 39 dainty bridesmaids, each one beguil¬ing enough to twist a real he-man pirate around her little finger and make him like it; a 36-piece or-chestra that will present an achieve¬ment—a harmonious background of melody for the principals and chorus; 23 musical numbers, each one worth much more but given to you for a little over a penny apiece; and eight managers, each working hard in the work assigned. Take a pencil and add it up. Did you get the same answer as I did— the opera, "Joan of the Nancy Lee," the finest evening of entertainment GROUP BEGINS COMPILING OF O.H.S. HISTORY Narrative of Forty Years' Activities Will Be Written OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. For 40 years Ogden High has been making history. Unfortunately, no consecutive records, no annals, have been kept and consequently, we of 1935 know little of the past. A movement, is being started now by Mr. Thornley and some of his pupils to pick up the straggling ends of the past records and weave them to¬gether is some sort of a narrative of interest and worth. We wish them success in this laudable un¬dertaking. MEANING OF CLASSICUM According to an article in the February number of the Classicum, 1903, the first publication of the Ogden High school was known as "The Kicker." Luckily it was dis¬covered that an Arizona High school had a paper of the same title, so of course Ogden must change hers. Mr. Ben L. Rich (Roy) came across the word "classicum" in his study of Latin. Since "classicum" means bugle an instrument through which Caesar broadcast information to his army Rich thought this would be an appropriate title for a high school publication and upon his recommendation was adopted. OGDEN BOXERS SPARKLE In the recent A. A. U. boxing tournament in Salt Lake City, Og¬den High had a number of entries. Jack Doone, Sam De Corso, Merton Wright and a number of other fel¬lows from our school were among the foremost fighters. The Notes congratulates the Og¬den boxers for the success they at¬tained in the meet. Jack Doone and Sam De Corso are to be compli¬mented on their sparkling victories. Both fellows show promising talent in the fistic field. Jack won the state championship in his class (118 lbs.) and has re¬ceived considerable publicity on his achievement. Furthermore Jack has a feeling that he may get a trip to Boston out of it. Good luck to you, Jack. CLASSICALIA SOON Hear ye! Hear ye! Next Friday in the Berthana ballroom will be our Classicalia — the most festive, the most informal, the most enjoy¬able dance of the year. Come, all of you, and have the unforgettable time of your lives. Balloons, noise makers of every kind, candy, ice cream — all will be there to help create the spirit of festivity. Most important of all the queen of the Classicalia will reign supreme with her maid of honor and six at¬tendants. Do you wonder who she will be? Then come to the Classi¬calia. Dear Student Body: Convention and custom form one of the foun¬dations upon which civilization has been built. If we had not pattern to follow, we would never get any¬thing done. Imagine an algebra or geometry book without any ex¬amples to follow. For the past few years it has been the custom for Ogden High school to honor young lady students who happened to have been endowed with the name of Dorothy. If one takes the trouble to look up the name Dorothy in the dictionary, he will discover that the name means "the gift of God." The particular Dorothy that I have in mind is just such a person. Where else could one find so much charm, personality, and vivacity in one hu¬man being? In fact she is not merely a human, she is indeed a gift of God. She is a messenger from high and mighty beings to stu¬dents of Ogden High, and should be treated as such. She is indeed a queen—stately bearing, queenly dignity, and best of all, not aloof. We must see that she is treated as she deserves. Therefore, it is up to us to get behind Dorothy Hall and make her the queen of the Classi¬calia.—An ardent booster. |
