Show SCHOOL NAMES NEW DATE FOR JUNIOR PARTY Prom Will Take Place One Week Later Than Scheduled OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Our annual junior prom, under direction of the junior class offi¬cers, has been postponed a week, to Friday, May 3, in the Berthana ball¬room. The reason for this detain¬ment is that the Berthana orchestra is unable to play for Ogden High the evening of April 26. One more week, will not cause any inconvenience but will give the stu¬dents ample opportunity to purchase tickets. This is your big chance, friends, to enjoy a night of frivolity and enjoyment.—D. B. IT'LL BE HARD TO SMILE Dedicated To the Seniors It's going to be hard to smile when we enter these portals of Og¬den High next year and find you gone! About nine months ago almost 500 new students attended an Ogden High assembly for the first time. The teachers and student body officers were introduced to us. We looked on with a brave smile on our faces and a lurking fear in our hearts. We were thrilled to be up at High, but we were also a little afraid. We were new, and we didn't know our way about. "What was this school like and what were the upperclassmen like?" we asked our¬selves. A few of them we knew from two years before when they had gone to junior high with us, but most of them were strangers. Then a month rolled by and we felt as though we had been at High always. We had been welcomed with open arms by our big sisters and brothers. The girls had been given a big sister party and the boys the memorable waterless water fight. Then the get acquainted dance, the Thanksgiving dance, the school play, and other social events came along. By Christmas we were quite sure we had been at Ogden always. During the Christmas holidays, the lovely cantata and the Holly hop were given. Then after the holidays we came back to school and settled down to our studies until we were interrupted by the opera, the cadet hop and the Classi¬calia. Now, lying on our horizon, is the junior prom—and then vaca¬tion. For you, seniors, graduation! All through the year you have done your best to make us feel at home, and you have succeeded. We have never stopped to consider that you were seniors and we, juniors. We were just students of Ogden High. There was no boundary line, visible or invisible, between the two classes. Juniors went with seniors and seniors with juniors. To you we owe one of the most pleasant school years that we have ever had. How can we repay you? We never really can, because things like that are too big to be paid back; but perhaps we shall be paying a little of the interest on our debt to you if we follow your example and with open arms welcome our own juniors next year. Yes, it's going to be hard to smile when we enter these portals of Og¬den High next year and find you gone!—Barbara Clark. NEED REPORTERS Ogden High school is filled with students who create life and atmos¬phere; they ought to be recorded for the amusement of everyone. For that reason the school ought to have reporters, some students who are vivacious; hear all; see all; and write all. It is a great mistake to have only an editor and an associate editor, students. The Notes column needs a staff of assistants to gather ma¬terial for writing up and publishing, for just two people can't be re¬porters, writers and supervisors— all in one. Council elects those stu¬dents whom they think best fitted for the job of editorship. Next year only one person is even eligible to be editor—Wayne Bundy, and even he has not written his necessary- quota up to date. There is no asso¬ciate editor for next year; the girl who was chosen in the fall showed her immediate resignation by not contributing. As a result the school and the Notes are lacking an asso¬ciate editor for next year for the first time in the history of the school. Council, you are the ones upon whom falls the responsibility of this catastrophe. You must decide quickly upon some alternation; that alternative would be to select re¬porters and enough assistants for the future editor so that he would not be left in a rut. A hint to the wise is sufficient. FINE ORCHESTRA It seems to be the general idea in Ogden that there is no symphony orchestra here. However, these people completely forget the exist¬ence of our O. H. S. orchestra. It certainly is a symphony in every sense. We have practically com¬plete orchestration with only the less necessary instruments missing. We have become one of the out¬standing high school groups in the state, and all this in the last few years. Until recently Jordan High was the acknowledged leader in or¬chestra work; they had never been beaten. But then Ogden began to grow, and received the distinction of being the only orchestra to beat them. Now for the second time, we have done it; and, according to Mr. Robertson, who was judge in the last contest and the one last week, we have improved two hundred per cent. And next year we should be even better. So more power to Mr. Hanson and the orchestra!—W. B. NEW OFFICERS Mr. Hancock's sixth period eco¬nomics class recently elected offi¬cers for the ensuing six weeks. Offi¬cers elected were: President, Larry Harrop; secretary, Avis Shaw; re¬porter, Kathleen Painter. A vote of thanks was given to the officers of the preceeding six weeks, and the newly elected officers be-ban what they hope will be a suc¬cessful term of work.—Reporter. GIRLS' CLUB TO TAKE PART IN PROVO EVENTS Addition Made To Festival Entries of Ogden High School OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Ogden High school will be well represented at the state festival in Provo Friday and Saturday. Plans have been made to send the band, the orchestra and the boys' glee club. On Friday night, the girls' glee club acquitted itself so credit¬ably that it was decided the girls' club should also go. Said Superin¬tendent Bateman of Logan, "It would be a shame not to send that girls' glee club." In all about 200 Ogden High school pupils will par¬ticipate. THE SAD PART OF IT The sad part of the musical fes¬tival in Ogden, the only sad part that we know of, was the fact so few people of this city availed them¬selves of the opportunity of hearing the very fine musical presentations, the vocal Friday evening at the tabernacle, and the instrumental- band and orchestra, all day Satur¬day at Weber college. The taber¬nacle was fairly well filled, as was also Weber college auditorium, but noticeably not by Ogden people. We regret this very much as our own people in Ogden should know and enjoy the fine work that is being done in the high schools of north¬ern Utah. NEEDED AN AUDITORIUM Ogden sorely needs a large aud¬itorium where an event such as the music festival of Friday and Sat-urday might be held with the dig¬nity and accommodation demanded of a city Ogden's size. Many com¬munities in this state with a pop¬ulation of five to 15,000 have much better auditoriums than can be ob¬tained in Ogden. Aside from the theatres, we have no place where we can take care of more than 700 or 800 people. Why cannot we have a city audi¬torium? Salt Lake has her taber¬nacle, Denver her city autditorium, —Ogden has nothing. TESTS DATED BY UNIVERSITY Time Is Placed Aside For High School Pupils' Examination OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. Word comes from the University of Utah that the English placement and psychology tests will be given Saturday, May 4. All students who expect to attend the university next school year should arrange to take these tests and to report at the Kingsbury hall auditorium at eight forty-five Sat¬urday morning. QUARTER CENTURY The twenty-fifth anniversary of the invitational athletic meet in Provo Saturday last reminds some one that it registers also the twen¬ty-fifth anniversary of Dixon Kapple's participation in athletics. Ac¬cording to the story, he was a high school student in Payson, his home town, at that time and entered the meet to represent his school. ORATORICAL CONTEST The Lewis oratorical contest was begun in 1923-1924. The partici¬pants are the following schools: Og¬den, Weber, Davis, Box Elder. Each school enters two contestants. The winner is given a gold watch. The second place winner is given a gold pin. The school winning is given a silver loving cup, to be the permanent property of the school on the third winning. Ogden has one of these cups, Weber has one. The present cup has now been won twice by Davis and twice by Og¬den. The contest Thursday evening last was the twelfth annual contest. ON TO PASADENA On Thursday and Friday last, Ernest Krohler, a graduate of '33, took the examinations of California Institute of Technology. As this is a technical private school its stand¬ards are very high and the exami¬nations are stiff. We hope Ernest passes them, and is received at this splendid school. ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT The junior prom has again been postponed until the ninth of May. Previously it was arranged to hold this gay, gala dance on this coming Friday, May the third. Due to the fact that this Friday is a holiday for all seniors in order that they may travel to Logan, the date was again changed. School will soon be over; the jun¬ior prom will be one of the very last social events of the season, where all your school associates will be together. Support it! this week with visitors from Weber High school among whom was the editor of the notes, Mr. Wangsgard. We are always happy to receive guests and enlighten them concern¬ing student activities and the cus¬toms of the school. As visitors help to create a more friendly atmos¬phere, we wish to invite them here again to revisit the portals of dear old Ogden High school. Our doors are always open. FEDERAL HOUSING. In line with modern progress the government is encouraging and as¬sisting the people of the country to repair homes, build homes and make life more comofrtable. The high school students have been asked to familiarize themselves with the par¬ticulars of this great movement and to commit to paper in essay and oratory form their reactions to this governmental activity. As citizens of today, the men and women of tomorrow, we are happy to do our part. Despite depression and hardships of today we firmly believe in a better tomorrow and are looking forward with hope and courage. STRONG ENTRY LIST SELECTED BY OGDEN HIGH Large Number Will Take Part In Regional Contests OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen, Associate Editor. As soon as the school opera was over, students of the music depart¬ment of Ogden High turned their attention toward the music festival that will be held this Friday and Saturday. Students from high schools in northern Utah will par¬ticipate in this festival in vocal or instrumental renditions. Mr. Han¬son and his students have been pre¬paring themselves so that they will be able to represent their school proudly. Our most talented students in mu¬sic will take part in this series of contests. Here is a brief list of a few of the entries: Vocal solos—James Andrews, bass; Chester Christensen, tenor; Betty Herrington, soprano; Faye Berrett, contralto. Group singing—Boys' glee club, 32 members; girls' glee club, 80 mem¬bers; a capella, mixed chorus 122 members. Mixed quartet, male quartet, girls' trio. Xnstrumetnal solos: Horns—Glen Wilde, flute; Howard Williams, cornet; Dorothy Anderson, saxophone; Ross Glasmann, French horn; Harold Olsen, bassoon; Wil¬liam Nicoloides, Sousaphone. Strings—Ruth LaVin Cragun, piano; Katherine Morrell, violin; Martha Zinn, viola; Robert Clark, cello. Instrumental (grouped): Orches¬tra, 45 members; band, 57 members. Mr. Hanson has great fath in his students. He says the glee clubs, the orchestra, and the band are in fine shape. He is especially proud of the school's orchestra, which, he believes, is one of the finest in the state and will emerge from the field of honor with colors flying. Students who are to perform have been chosen from many who tried out. They have worked hard and deserve all honors given them. We know they will not fail to make both, Mr. Hanson and their fellow students proud of them, and we must not fail them. We will keep faith with them and show our pride in them by being present at the music festival events this Friday and Sat¬urday .—Barbara Clark. PHANTOM WIND. The wind is a phantom, A ghost in the night; We feel it, we hear it, Alone in its flight. And, wailing through the waning day, The ghost seems sad along its way; When hearts too are weary, The wind in the night Will touch them and chill them— Like phantoms in flight. —Elizabeth Parkinson. TO REMIND YOU. Tiger Flashes, Ogden High school's radio program, will be presented weekly over radio station KLO promptly at seven-thirty and will last until seven forty-five. This presentation offers to the public en¬tertainment, the talent and ability prevalent at high school. This pro¬gram renders a splendid opportunity for the students to display the musical or dramatic talent born unto them. It is worth-while for the students to listen to Tiger Flashes, if for no other reason than to know what their classmates are capable of It it an advantage to the participants to be able to gain experience in broadcasting over the air. Don't forget! Thursday is the date; seven-thirty, the time. VISITORS. Ogden High school was honored |
