With the end of the third term comes the end of the first semester, which means that one-half of the : school year is over—great to the Joy of some and the sorrow of oth¬ers. Sorrow? Of course; sorrow to those who have work to make up be- fore the end of the semester. It is hardly necessary to make an explan- : atlon of the joy part. But speaking seriously, the second semester seems to be more difficult than the first. : The first and probably main reason 3s the fact that there are few, if j tny, holidays. Therefore, school seems a long and tedious thing. But cheer up, students, you can make 1 It different if you choose, f' FAY CARDON BETA ZETA TAU ( One night during the holidays at exactly ten bells Bulova time, spelled B-u-l-o-v-a, B. Z. T. started on their mad rush from house to house in this gay city of Ogden. From Ruth's to Katie's to Ila's to Jeannette's we journeyed by means of feet, auto, street car, or what haven't you? You may wonder what it was all about. It was just a pro- pessive party but what a party! finally, at a much later hour that same night we dragged our weary dogs homeward. The food is gone, but the memory lingers on! What a party! HELEN PARMLEY. GAME TONIGHT Tonight at the Weber Gym there till be played a game between Henry's Clothiers, world's champions, and four picked "M" teams. The game between Ogden and Logan is not a league game but it would be well for all students that can to see this game as it is to be one of the best of the season. The game is to be played promptly at seven-thirty. Tickets are sold at the United Billiards or can be purchased at the gym. A BOOK OF SPORTS To nany of us, sports include' onlv th se with which we come in direct contact; those that we hear of very seldom mean little or noth- iag to us unless we have taken part in them. Many of us know little sbout the beginnings, and who were the founders of the sports in which we indulge. We do not know who the past champions were and many do not know who the present cham¬pions are. Now, students, here is your chance to find out about these things and many more. Through the efforts of Superintendent Hop¬kins, the O. H. S. library has ob¬tained a copy of the "New Blue Book of Sports." This bootc con¬tains articles, histories, etc., of every known organized sport and game. There are pictures of the outstanding performer in everv sport together with either an article or. a biography about each, such as Jim Thorpe, the greatest athlete the World has known; the all-time base¬ball team and many other athletic Teats. It tells why different coun¬tries took up different exercises, from this book you may learn the world records in every sport. As a side treat it contains pictures of the outstanding football and basket¬ball teams of the country. There is also a summary of the athletic prowess of practically all of the uni¬versities and colleges of the United States. So you see that the reading of this book would be to anyone's advantage. Remember the "New Blue Book of Sports." S. G. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS The University of Kansas offers a freat variety of courses for the student who is planning to attend a middle western college. Situated at Lawrence, it may be called upon to welcome a few Ogden High school graduates in a few months. The university designates four ways in which one may be admitted! as a student: (1) If he is eligible i to admission to the state university In the state from which he comes.: (2) If he has completed the sub-jects required for graduation from an accredited Kansas High school. (J) If he has been recommended by the principal of the preparatory! school where the majority of hisj fork was taken as fully qualified to pursue the course for which he is I p!ylng. (4) By taking the en¬trance examinations which are giv- m during the first and last weeks flt the first semester and the last 3 week of the second semester. Appli-i cations must be mailed to the com-' mittee on entrance examinations on the Friday before the examinations, are given. CHARLES WOOD. CHATTER AND CHAFF "I know an artist that painted a cobweb so real that a maid spent an hour trying to get it down." "Sorry, but I don't believe you." "Why not? Artists have been known to do such things." "Yes, but not maids." "When we are married I must have three servants." "You shall have twenty, dear, but not all at once." "Was your late mistress surprised at your leaving?" "Oh, no, mum. She knew about! It before I did." Famous last words: "Spare me the details, Harry." Jan. 7, 1932 O.H.S.

It seems that since the beginning of the school year until the Christmas holidays and during the past week, books, pens, pencils, etc., have mys¬teriously disappeared from lockers. The main reasons have been that the students have either disclosed the combination of their locks, have not secured locked their lockers, or I have been careless about where they have left belongings. Mr. Kasius tells us that when hej attended school the students hung their hats and coats in the halls and put their books on the floor. Of course no one thought of taking what did not belong to him. Today students will claim almost anything that is not padlocked. It is really a serious condition that exists and a possible remedy would be more care¬fulness on the part of each student. FAY CARDON. DIARY OF A DAMSEL Monday No. 1 of 1932. Considering that January fourth is both a weekly "blue Monday" and the first day of educational la¬bors since the Christmas holidays, I do not think the catastrophes too numerous. I have but two com¬plaints to make concerning the treatment of my esteemed self: Why is it that teachers recover from the seasonal festivities before students awake to the realization that the holiday playdays are over and the usual workdays here? Secondly, why is one besieged every moment and on all sides by the query, "Well, what did Santa Claus bring you?" Long faces are most certainly not in keeping with the joyful moods nec¬essary after carefree vacations, but I have become enlightened as to the why and wherefore no more recent¬ly than today. How can one help such contortions of her maidenly countenance when a day has been spent receiving the full benefit of certain teachers' wrath and elon¬gated assignments? Two and two make four, but one trouble and an¬other trouble don't favor amiable dispositions and pleasant smiles. Imagine then my chagrin at con¬stant requests to enumerate the this and that and something else I found in my stocking! Who said there was a Santa Claus? SUSIE SEVENTEEN. COUNCIL Regular Council meeting was call¬ed to order by President Stone. The roll was called; the minutes were read and approved. Article five of the school consti¬tution was read. This article con¬cerns membership to council, Mr. Farr reported for "Holly Hop." By a motion the report was accepted. Council then adjourned. ANCIENT HISTORY (Lesson No. 3) Note: This material is taken from the O. H. S. scrapbook for the years of '24 and '25. The R. O. T. C. officers are very much interested in the election of sponsors, which is to take place very soon. I Well, after all, whose sponsors are they going to be? Parents are advised that regu¬lar and prompt attendance at school is necessary for all students. I'll bet the parents weren't the only ones who were advised. The high school will stage a snake dance and rally downtown to- ; night for the big game between Lo-gan and Ogden tomorrow afternoon. And the next day it was announc¬ed that $17 of the students' fund was spent for repairing property damage. The senior girls are planning to give their party to the boys (for: losing the student body membership contest) on Saturday, October 18. They promise the boys the best time ever. No reason for repeating this ex¬cept that I mentioned once before! all about this and I thought you! might be interested in the result. BILL THOMPSON. OBSERVATIONS What would you think If I told you that: Mrs. Chambers' sixth period class is the most blood thirsty group of students in school. Nearly every short story written by this class con¬tained at least one murder and in one of these literary accomplish-ments the unnatural death rate in¬creased to three. Mr. Kasius' greatest ambition when a boy was to run away and join a circus. Think of what the lions missed. Mr. Robins has been in Africa and has traveled that notorious big game hunter's paradise quite exten-sively. The motion picture produc¬ers can't fool him. During the holidays Charles Wood went oriental; all he could do for some time was to go about mak¬ing noises like a Chinese gang. JIM GIBSON. REGARDING RESOLUTIONS Evidently the New Year's resolu¬tion of Olive Thatcher and Mary Underwood was: "Resolved, that all motion pictures made and exhibited in the United States be under the control and censorship of the fed¬eral government/' Although the negative team, composed of Norinne Bingham and Barbara Kimball, ex¬erted the customary force to bring about a weakening of their oppon¬ents' good intentions, the "reformed" gained the decision. In case you didn't attend Con¬gress Monday night, I'll enlighten you in my explanation that Ogden High's feminine orators have resolv¬ed to promote forensics to the ex¬tent of their ability, subdue the gal¬lant warriors of Forum, and also that this humble club reporter will endeavor to add to the notes with her literary contributions! HELEN LINDQUIST, Reporter. TWO PET ABOMINATIONS A peaceful calm. A sickening crash. A rush to the door. A villain riding off down the street on his bicycle. A quick inspection. A broken bottle. A newspaper lying in a pool of— milk. Which, if It is anywhere near as bad as the odoriferous fragrance which emits from the floors of the high school, is pretty rotten. I do not know what others may think, but as for me, give me dust rather than that smell. I do not choose to smell it. The smell is fundamen¬tally sound. It is not so bad just around the corner—in John's. In case anyone doesn't know, I am merely trying to say that the dis-infectant or whatever it is that oc¬cupies the ozone in the halls Is not conducive to a good dinner. CHARLES WOOD.

S. gained another victory through its basket¬ball team. This game was played with Logan High. Both teams were playing real basketball all through¬out the game, and it was one worth watching. The score was 40 to 33. Although the student body was well represented, the students did not gather in one compact group so that they could cheer as they should. If I everyone would try to get into one ! group at the next game, some real good yelling could be had. The yell leaders will be there to lead you in the yells, so kindly give them your co-operation. A DANCE I suppose it is quite obvious to the men of the school that the girls are about to turn the tables on them. Of course it is leap year but! that isn't the reason for the under-1 tone of nervous excitement which j is about. Some of the few lucky! fellows who have been invited know. If the others will straighten their ties and let their presence be known, it won't take much waiting. Any convenient but safe place holds their pleasant dances. Now you know, certainly, it's the Accolade or the dance given by the girls. It won't be long now.—B. W. K. OUT OF THE PAST Gleaned from the O. H. S. scrapbook: v One Daniel Boone, a pioneer in teaching is worth a handful of '.'standpatters" — Daniel Boone is dead, too, isn't he. Teachers are not giving tests this week altogether to find out what the student knows but to find outj how well they have taught. If that is true :I sure have got a dumb bunch of teachers. Friday's O. H. S. notes were brief on account of (1) two pages being overlooked at high school and not being sent down, (2) the refusal of the paper staff to publish the best article ever sent down, as it violated federal law and was hence unprint¬able. (I want to make it under¬stood that this didn't happen this year but six years ago.) Well kid¬dies, it looks as if we had just missed something hot. - Instructor Dave Wangsgard has been a voiceless teacher this week. He has been suffering from 'a severe cold—Dave without a voice. I can't picture it, that's all.—Bill Thomp¬son. NE TOP PEW Are we getting right down to busi¬ness? Just ask us. We have now taken in all our members, and do we feel necessary having such lovely members? Perhaps you would like to know who the lucky Junior members are? They are no less than Frances Mortensen, Faye Cardon, Margery Sherner, June Bradely, and Louise Ball. The one senior taken in is Dorothy Pantone. Don't you brilliant scholars think we can accomplish gre'at things with such members? Watch and see.— June Harrison. OVER THE HOLIDAYS School opened Monday morning after a two weeks vacation. A sim¬ple, terse, clear cut statement of the facts. We noticed that during the holidays Mr. Merrill addressed one of the prominent local clubs on the need of honest men in the" world today. That is indeed one of the crying needs of today. At the last school dance, did anyone see a spring of mistletoe floating around I with Dee Wangsgard hanging on it? (Some people thought that was fun¬ny. Oh, well. They tell me that ! Jim Gibson has been trying to think up ways for the R. O. T. C. boys to shop early and avoid the rush in the gun room these mornings. Charles Woods has been sitting home nights trying to think up fun- , ny remarks to make about the per¬sonalities of the schon, attended a dance at the Berthana : during the holidays ana aiteivvaiu i.i the coat room (I feel some swear words coming on) we wished we had ' a chisel and some dynamite so we ' could get the coats out of the mob that there was. But having nei¬ther, we could just wander along the outside of the crowd, looking like the lost orphan and wishing we were football players. We were told that we ought to eat more spinach and there might be something in it. —B. T. LEAP YEAR Boys, be cautious, the fatal year has come. As you all know leap year is a jiear ending terror for the poor males. Just as fair warning, boys, women are growing bald. Their courage is up! Beware! HALL OF FAME Mr. Kasius, because he never be comes angry. Virginia Hunter, because of her voice. Holly Arthur, for her personality. Lulu Hodgson, because of her choice in men. Marjorie Barnett, because of her hair and dimples. Russ Farr, because he likes Holley. Joe Fowler, because he knows how to play basketball, i Alden Brewer, because of his choice of—women. Louise Peterson, for her shape. And best of all Mr. Merrill be¬cause—well—er—'cause he's nice. —V. P. S. W. FLOOD PRESERVER? Dull and sluggish (pardon me. probably I shouldn't Judge others by |
