When you're disgusted in general with life and in particular with teachers who give assignments re- iquauig rexerence work, be non¬chalant—visit our library. During the summer months the library has been remodeled to accommodate, more books and students. This work was done for you. Take advantage of this privilege, and save walking (or riding if you're lucky) to tne public library. Naturally, being a school library, it doesn't boast of as many books, but those that are there for your use are those best suitable to most school reference work. These books have been selected with care, and are for your use. After all quality counts as well as quantity. Why not keep the library busy? Mrs. Raymond is busy, but always glad of your visits.

C. but these last few days our handsome soldiers; have donned their beautiful uniforms that have been tucked away in mothballs all summer. Maybe you } have noticed that delicate fragrance that emanates from them. Some of the strong men have acquired a ' mysterious popularity in the eyes of c the weaker sex. Have you noticed j: the crowds of beautiful damsels , around our future commanders? Under the capable direction of Captain Sparks Ogden high expects great results. VIRGINIA HUNTER.

It was the renown-ed decorum committee. We hope e you haven't forgotten them because fr they haven't forgotten you. At the possible risk of disgracing our school t: we shall tell you that the order of s our assemblies was not what itv should have been. Since the installation of the new fi system a marked improvement hasn been made. Dave Wangsgard iJ chairman and has seven very able b subordinates to maintain order. I! e: vou don't believe us you will proh c ably find our for yourself. VIRGINIA HUNTER. JUNIORS AND SENIORS g Have you noticed the confusion qj I our stairways during the change o " classes lately? The reason for thi is that the juniors do not know tha there is a regulation which banishe this confusion. The regulation )_ that the inside stairway, the stair way next to the wall, must be use whenever the student goes upstair or down stairs. You juniors are no better than we seniors were last year, so use the stairway next to the wall. We obey- j ed the regulation last year and had ; no trouble whatever. I, If you do not heed, Harry will ; have to be appointed as our traf¬fic manager. He will bring about a j, change in a very short time. A hint to the wise is sufficient. LOWELL ROWSE. WHERE, OH, WHERE? ; Oh, where are the Quarterly Classicum enthusiasts of last year? ; Here's a free invitation for any high school student to step forward and j reach for a position of highest cali¬bre on our most illustrious staff. At least come and meet Helen Lindquist, the capable editor in chief, then I am sure of your cooperation in getting a "Zenith" quarterly. ARLEEN SESSIONS. THE, YEAR BOOK In order to begin the year book early this year, we are starting our ( tryouts now. At the present it is . only necessary to get a staff pho- ; tographer. All those wishing to try ! out for this position will submit ten snapshots of school life or pictures , cjlosely concerning school activities to , the editor of Mrs. Chambers. The photographer will be chosen by the i quality of his snapshots. CLYDE BASSETT. FORUM Forum was called to order Monday - evening by President William Alsup. The main business of the eve- 3 ning was the reading of the con- j stitution and an interesting talk, given by Mr. Smith, explaining the , aims and interests of Forum. A large group of juniors, interested in Forum, attended the meeting. A debate was scheduled for our next ; meeting between four members of j Forum. After being honored with short speeches from four of our _ alumni members, Forum was ad- journed. . BOB JUNK, Secretary. GREAT MINDS AT WORK We have noticed that there are times when all genius seems to have , I vanished from our midst, and it is certain that it does reach a pretty low level. However, just as we were J beginning to think that such was the case we came upon immediate evi- 1 dence which proved that we are in ( reality abounding in great minds. While watching the maneuverings of C company of our drill unit we over¬heard a conversation which proves this statement beyond all doubt. The idea is this: That instead of wasting a lot of time and all labor in manufacturing suits for the in- mates of the above mentioned com¬pany the government will, instead ' manufacture one-half as many large size uniforms. The object being that two "half pints" will then be able to double up and make one 1 good cadet who will be worthy of a place in A company. Truly, genius is a wonderful thing. J CHARLES WOOD. JUST A REMINDER We aren't accustomed to such generosity as the O. H. S. Notes lavished upon us several nights ago. We, the editors of the Quarterly, , were almost killed by the shock of , the discovery. Helpful advisers j: sought new feet to fill our journalistic shoes, but we persisted that we 1 be allowed to survive. Imagine it, : students, over half of the News : devoted to the announcement of the : Ltryouts for positions on our staff. : If you failed to find and read those notices (though we don't see, how you could) we would like to i submit this copy of the manner of- i competition for section editors of i 1 t the Classicum, coupled with our earnest advice that you take part in I j the contest and our hopes that you ; emerge in the role of the "lucky men": : Social editor—Write a description of some school social function you have attended, preferably one spon- sored by Ogden high. Humor editor—Prepare an inter- esting, humorous article pertaining ' to some situation. ' Sports editor—Describe with en- 1 thusiasm and good sportsmanship a E school athletic event at which you t were present. Exchange editor—Apply by letter ifor the position, expressing willing- i ness and qualifications. This contest ends Friday, Septem¬ber 25. Both juniors and seniors are eligible and must submit their article to Mr. Robins, room 303. Sept. 21, 1931 O.H.S. News Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. A REAL TREAT Fate treated the Ogden High very kindly last Friday. Two great big assemblies were held, one in the! morning and one in the afternoon, j The first assembly was called to!- order by Mr. Merrill on account of President Russ being late. His ex-cuse was that he was looking for a j song, but he pardoned himself so gracefully that we had to let himj go unmolested. The assembly was -3 opened with a song by Carl Manzel, accompanied at the piano by Mr. Hansen. The second part of the as¬sembly was a very interesting dis- li cussion aboeut Europe by Mr. F. M. Driggs, superintendent of the State s Deaf and Blind school. Mr. Driggs, 1 also president of the fifth district Of Rotary, toured Europe this summer t with a party of other Rotarians, and d his talk was based upon this trip a and how he felt upon arriving in America once again. The second assembly was called to order by President Stone, who has . decided to give up music, and the first number was a violin solo by j; Mary Gay. The second part of the assembly was a speech by formers Congressman Upshaw of Georgia. Mr. Upshaw had the whole assembly! s arise and sing the first and last ver- t ses of "America." He had his au i dience under his control from the c very start and kept them that way I until the very last. i THE REASONS WHY Perhaps you have already decided J to compete for a position on the quarterly Classicum staff; perhaps you are either undecided or see no i reason to enter the contest. No 1 matter what you think about the idea, we feel certain that you will : be interested in and maybe benefit- : ed by a brief summary of the value of this competitive work. An opportunity is given every junior and senior to bring to the f attention of the school his or her literary talents. You have a chance to put your 1 skill to work eradicating the bad E features of the publication and de- y_ veloping its attributes. 1 You may render service to Ogden High by laboring to improve your school paper with the addition of e .competent and progressive editors, q Your own abilities in writing will be improved by your entrance into jfche competition. Last, but not least, the editors of the humor, social, sports and ex- f change sections might be you. Jj To obtain these desired results read the notices on the bulletin! c boards and prepare and submit your e contributions in the prescribed way. t NEW TYPEWRITING ROOM v Probably you have noticed the sat¬isfied grin on the typing student u faces these last two weeks. If you v have seen the lovely new room, not to mention the teacher, you know the cause. The old mechanical training room has been redecorated T and thirty new noiseless typewriters j1- have been installed. With such a new and shining atmosphere in which to work great headway should be made in typing this year. !" —Virginia Hunter. SENIOR ELECTIONS With President Stone's words, S "Seniors, you'll have to go some to it keep ahead of the juniors," still L 'ringing in our ears We, the seniors, set out to keep ahead of the jun¬iors. Many nominations were made. For a while it seemed that everyone j in the auditorium must have a dif¬ferent candidate. Strict parliamen- f tary rules were observed. Several times the parliamentarian settled disputes. Staunch supporters gave stirring campaign speeches, i Surely there has never been more enthusiasm in an election. The ten- ision before the results were given was intense. When, finally, the of- " ficers of the senior class were an- 1 nounped a deafening roar of ap- plause filled the hall. It had been a close race with frequent re-votes.) The popular candidates had won ; through the support of their deter- c, mined campaigners. The final f count made Russell Farr, president; 1 Hermese Broadbent, vice president, and William Alsup, secretary. Step right up and meet the new officers of the senior class. g More pondering and deliberating, j- Advisors—what two of our beloved s faculty members should we choose? c After much discussion Mrs. Newcomb and Mr. Ed Smith were elect- t ed. c By this time Mr. Stone and Miss Evans, each of whom had presided, s were hoarse, and ready to stop. The students seemed to be in the same oondition, and unanimously agreed; to adjourn. —Elpha Morse. S ept. 22, 1931 O.H.S. News I Editors: Bob Hetzel, Elpha Morse, Virginia Hunter. MSSAGES OF MERIT The world gives its biggest prizes to- day To those who can do the right thing Without being told, But big rewards still exist for Those who can do it When told once. This message is upon the new bul¬letin in the library. There will be a different message each week of the school year, and everyone will pros¬per by following the advice given. These messages will occur weekly in the notes and come out every Mon¬day. Look for them; follow their advice; and prosper. ART DEPARTMENT Something should be said about the wonderful art department thati Ogden High is fortunate enough to have. It is under the charge of LeConte Stewart, who is an artist with a name that is known for a long ways. Under such environment the students of the art classes have benefitted in many ways. Some are interested in one phase of art and others in another, but almost any kind a person desires can be found here. As a project, the students are making portfolios, which will have designs and covers on them that will offer distinction. There are in the art classes quite a few students who are starting to make a name for themselves as cartoonists, and any¬one who has any talent at all to¬wards drawing cartoons should bet-ter their ability now. Another phase in this department is commercial art, in which signs and other things of this sort are made. One of the most interesting things at present is the making of models out of Ivory soap. Many attractive models have been made. Although this modeling is hard to do accurately, it is a pleasure to see who can make the best. Plaster of Paris models are being made also, and these are very interesting too. Among the other things that are being done at pres¬ent are sketchings, paintings, and drawings in charcoal. D. A. C. The Dramatic Art club held its . first meeting for this year last Thursday with the director, Miss Guinevere Wooley presiding. Elec¬tion of chairmen of committees was conducted. John Ivans and Laur-ence Summerville were elected for the program and membership com¬mittees respectively. Gladys Jones was elected parliamentarian. The enthusiasm and spirit for unity of the members forecasts a fa¬vorable outlook for the coming year. —Edna Williams, Reporter. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Ever since school started this question has been troubling us and we are sure that there are other stu-dents who would also like it an¬swered. When is the get-acquainted dance? —A. H. P. Dear A. H. P.: The social committee of High School has not as yet decided upon the date of this dance, but as soon as it is known, it will be announced. Please try to be patient. —Aunt Jane, Dear Aunt Jane: When do we have the big water fight this year? —Wetting. Dear Wetting: It is not known as yet when this water fight will be. —Aunt Jane. TAU ETA NU Tau Eta Nu was called to order Thursday in the gym by President Hermese Broadbent. The minutes were read and approved. The con¬stitution was read and revised. It was deeided that the club should take up the study of drama. A one- act play was read and discussed by Bea Allen. The reporter was elected for the year and meeting adjourned. —Bea Allen, Reporter. TELEPHONE CALLS School patrons and friends are re¬spectfully asked not to call students by phone during school hours. The school cannot consistently interrupt class work to call students to the phone, nor to deliver phone num¬bers for students to call. In case of sickness or urgent necessity the school will endeavor to deliver per¬sonal messages. GAS HEAT For the first time in history the school rooms were heated today by gas. Believe us, the heat felt good, and moreover, there was no smoke accompanying it. Yes, we enjoyed it. NEW REGISTRATIONS Three boys and four girls regis¬tered at the high school on Mon-! day,
