sept. 10, 1931 O.H.S. news Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. Well, here we are again. Insig¬nificant juniors of last year magic¬ally transformed into mighty seniors, and measly sophomores highly h elevated to insignificant juniors, K Seniors, welcome home ! May your last year in dear old O. H. S. ; be indeed the best and most sue- " cessful year of your school career, z. Juniors, also welcome! May you fully enjoy your first year in a !;; senior high school. The promotion is well deserved. You are certainly the best looking group of juniors, 1 at least since last year. Seriously speaking, however, Ogden High l school welcomes you. May you learn to love her as we have. 1 ELPHA MORSE. g REGISTRATION DAY An endless stream of students j pouring in mad hosts into the office j—Eager faces—Pushing—Shoving— Noise—Bustle—Milling masses of humans chattering noisily about c, classes, dances, summer vacations ' and various and assorted other sub- t jects that only can be heard when tl old friends are reunited after three a I"-- 11 months of freedom. All of this re¬minds us of registration day. May g we be as eager throughout the year. u False hope, well maybe. t: The students of Ogden Highly school desire to extend their most heartfelt sympathy to a fellow stu- e dent, Mildred Larson, for the re- t cent bereavement of her father. a NOTE BOX ih The note box is for the students,, juniors as well as seniors. When- ever you want to ask Aunt Jane a question or have some news putl in the notes, just drop your ma- terial in the box. This is the way for you to contribute to the notes. Do not neglect the note box this year. HALL OF OBLIVION Jj We nominate for oblivion: v 1. Juniors that use the wrong : stairways. a ; 2. All advocates of a new high d school. v All future home work. i. Teachers that give assign- " ments on the first day. fcl WELCOME, JUNIORS! We, the seniors of Ogden High, wish to extend our heartiest greet- ings to you, our juniors. 1 This year, more than ever before, it is the aim and ambition of the upperclassmen, and women, to es-tablish a feeling of good-will and fellowship between the two classes. Cheer up, Juniors. The first day rj is always the worst. If you think .. the reception given you was a little cool, let us explain that it was only t. the bashful seniors' way of showing t their affection for their little broth- s ers and sisters. c Let us warn you. You haven't b seen anything yet. A word to theL wise is sufficient. L VIRGINIA HUNTER. f, JUNIORS THEME SONG b (Note—This masterpiece was re- f cently unearthed from a timid! junior's supply of geography and spelling books. Since its discovery the unfortunate one has been in hiding. What a wise Junior.) I'd like to be a senior With a note-book in my hand And a pen behind my ear. I could .keep them clean each day j. For I would be a senior and u With the seniors play. I wouldn't be an angel For an angel has to sing. h I would rather be a senior For they don't do anything. VIRGINIA HUNTER. S ept. 11, 1931 O.H.S. news Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. Among the faculty of our goodly school there appear two new faces. That of Miss Osmund and Mr. Condie. We wish to welcome you. Of course, it is understood that we wel¬come all our well beloved teachers who have come back to us refreshed by a summer's vacation, and with new, interesting ideas to make classes more interesting. May this one be a banner year for the fac¬ulty as well as the students, —Elpha Morse. CONGRATULATIONS I We are proud or one of our illus¬trious alumnae, Doyle Jenson. He 1 ihas recently been elected to the po-l isition of president of the freshman! debating team at Berkeley univer¬sity. We wish you all the success in the world, Doyle. You deserve it. —Elpha Morse. REMODELED BUILDING Even if our school board won't r build us a beautiful new high school, r they have helped to make this one more pleasant. If you have taken a little time from your eager greetings ' of old friends and renewing of old acquaintances, you have noticed our enlarged library. The former art room has been united with the li- ' brary to give us a more commodious and lighter place in which to study. ; And of course you have missed that unsightly stage that occupied one whole end of our gym. The scien¬tific minded also have the pleasure of having a more immediate access to the laboratory. —Virginia Hunter. SCHOOL OPENING SIDELIGHTS The junior boys are enthusiasti-1 j cally unanimous in agreeing that ' they have had a warmer welcome l this year than has been the case in yany previous year. (If you don't be¬lieve it, ask any of them.) We have been wondering what a ' good many of our last year's grad- uates have been doing to pass the time. Yesterday morning we found out. They have been working as J speelers in a circus. How do we c know? Well, how else could those enthusiastic "Hey, hey, step right " this way, folks. Buy a book? Bot¬any, Algebra, English? No? Hey, ihey, hey, hey," have be&fldeveloped? f However, amid all the joy and .'[shouting of school owning there is one dark cloud to mar the beautiful I horizon. Haven't you seen the look . of disappointment and chagrin on z the faces of some of our most prom¬inent lovers? Yes? We thought you j had. It is because some totally un¬feeling person has decreed that all the boys must sit in one end of the library and all the girls in the other. It really is a hard old world. y What's the use of living? 5 Some of our ambitious athletes are complaining that they are han¬dicapped over gamesters of other years. Upon cross-examination it was found that were worried be- " cause there would be no good way to exercise their necks this year as the old stage has been taken out of the auditorium and they will be de- .' prived of the privilege of craning their necks from the speaker's stand , to the stage. —Charles Wood. j THE FIRST WEEK i. This is the end of the first week. The constant talk of everyone in the school has awakened a few of y the echoes that have been silent for I three months. Many old friend- " ships have been renewed, and new , ones made old. The juniors have I begun to get used to the strange atmosphere by now, and have almost ihad their fill of hazing. This first i week closes to give two days of rest i before starting out the second with a real object in mind. I - —Bob Hetzel. CHATTER AND CHAFF Elaine Evans: I thought you could keep a secret. Holley Arthur: Well, I kept it for a week. What do you think I am, a cold storage plant? He who laughs last laughs best, but he soon gets a reputation for being dumb. What's the matter with our radia¬tors this year? They don't seem to have the former magnetism. Whenever we see this ill-associat- -ed conglomeration of hopeful youth (a class of incoming high school juniors) we recall the lady who said to her physician, "How soon will I know anything after I come out of the anesthetic?" "Well," replied the doctor, "that's expecting a good deal from an anesthetic." Sept. 15, 1931 O.H.S. news Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. EDITORS Bob Hetzel, Virginia Hunter and Elpha Morse STAFF POSITIONS Every student of Ogden High. passes our two bulletin boards many times each day in the process of ' changing classes. Few, however,1 think of them in terms other than i "insignificant, but customary, prop- erties of the school," They little realize that, should : they pause to examine the count-j' less notices decorating these Jboards, they might some day read an article j in the news notes proclaiming them: editor of this or that section in our Quarterly Classicum. The editors of this publication,!: therefore, advise that juniors and seniors who like to "scribble" and ; admire the journalistic career ex¬tricate themselves from crowds which hurry away from the import¬ant bulletin boards at the bottom of the stairs. Remaining in this place until they have found the manner in which to compete for a desired position possibly will give the aspirants the necessary courage to prepare and submit proof of their talent. . Remember, students, that you! have an engagement for tomorrow; with one of those bulletin boards. After you have memorized the rules, kindly step aside and write your article, while others receive their in¬structions. NEW PROGRAM After Mr. Merrill gave us the ex¬cellent idea of the popular program for the younger set, the adult brains of the high school students were set industriously to work to comprise the popular one for the high schools. After many suggestions the follow¬ing one was decided the favorite: School shall start approximately at nine-thirty, kowever, if you need sleep attendance is not re¬quired. First period—9:30 to 10:30. Rest period (special course in slumber). Second period—10:30 to 11:30, daily assembly. Lunch hour—11:30 to 1:00; menu will be forwarded by special request. Third periodT-1:00 to 2:00; reduc- i ing exercises. Fourth period—2:00 to 3:00; mat¬inee dance. Fifth period—3:00 to 3:30; tea and wafers. i (Note. After reading Edna Ferber's opinion of Young America's twelve-year-old mind, we rather agree with her.) COMPETITION AHEAD Students, the Quarterly Classicum is your publication; it belongs to and represents everyone in Ogden High. An opportunity is now being offered to juniors and seniors who desire to make the quarterly the best school magazine published. Competition is scheduled for the auxiliary positions on, the Classicum staff.

We heartily recommend all sturents to go see these in the new art room. Room 210. AUNT JANE'S LETTER BOX Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please tell us the date, time and admission of the Get Ac¬quainted dance? TWO LOVESICK SENIORS. Dear Lovesick Seniors: There has been no meeting of Council or the social committee as yet; consequently, we are unable to tell you the exact date. The ad¬mission has always been your stu¬dent body ticket. Watch the Notes for the date. Sincerely, AUNT JANE. Sept. 16, 1931 O.H.S. news Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. CLUB CONSTITUTIONS. Attention, club presidents! As soon as council is organized your club's constitution and a list of the members, officers and advisors are to be handed to Miss Elaine Evans, vice president of the student body, who is chairman of the club com- mittee. Until this is accomplished your club will not a recognized school club. —Elpha Morse. CLUB REPORTS. Through the courtesy of The Standard-Examiner, every night a space is allotted to the Ogden High that it might publish the news and activities of every school day. It has been the custom of the past years for every club to elect a reporter for the purpose of writing an account of all club meetings and activiites. The clubs, which are a great part in the school's social endeavors, are of interest to everyone, particularly to the juniors, who are anxiously1 trying to decide which activity they would like to enter. This is probably the first week for : club activities and if your clubs haven't a reporter elect one so that your reports will be in every week. —Virginia Hunter. CONGRESS REPORT. Congress was called to order Mon¬day evening, September 14, by Pres¬ident Virginia Hunter. After the roll was called and the minutes from the last meeting dispensed with the constitution of the club was read by the secretary. By a unanimous vote the clause pertaining to repre¬sentation in council was eliminated. Mrs. Chambers was then re-elected adviser. It was moved and second¬ed that the temporary rule giving debaters two weeks' notice should be added to the by-laws. The motion was carried. Schedules for the next two meetings were arranged—a de¬bate upon the question of India's independence for next Monday, and current events to be given the fol¬lowing week. Participants at next week's meeting are: Edna Williams,1 Kiyoka Oda, Mary Haynie, and Margaret Thomas. After Alice Dunn, vice president of congress, had in¬formed those desirous of member¬ship of the method of qualification, we adjourned. —Helen Lindquist, Reporter. ATTENTION, STUDENTS! To all you ambitious young Juniors and to all you procrastinat¬ing seniors the Quarterly staff wishes to make an important an-nouncement. The office of associate editor is open to all juniors for competition, while those of sports, humor, and society editors are open not only to Juniors but also to Seniors. You've heard the saying, no doubt, that opportunity knocks but once. However, for the lazy students of last year there is "Just One More Chance"—seize the op¬portunity. Further information will be given later. —Arleen Sessions, RADIO. If some of you Juniors haven't as yet discovered what those brown; wooden boxes are on the front walls of every classroom, we shall en¬lighten you. They are radio loud speakers. Two years ago, after much delib¬eration, a radio system was pur¬chased with the school funds. Then the diligent endeavors of Mr. Ed Smith, Mr. Claude Coray, and Mr. Ernest Wangsgard installed and perfected it. Each year it has been improved until this year, when we: find it has practically reached thej apex of perfection. Mr. Merrill has found it a won¬derful aid in checking the attend- ance. Many times during the past year we have enjoyed concerts by Walter Damrosch. —Virginia Hunter. ANNOUNCEMENT! The Ogden High school cafeteria will open Wednesday, September 15. This is for the students and faculty. You will receive very fine meals here. Don't forget that everyone is welcome. Room 104. NEW LIBRARY DESK.
