DIARY OF A DAMSEL Slippery Wednesday: I said my prayers, took a step or tn, and then, according to all rec- i anted rules of human conduct, I j pold have had the pleasure of Wng icy sheets against my shiv- !( back. King Winter had ruled atharwlse, for I made an amateur ittampt at ice skating (minus the Ml skates), and the cold, hard, gentlemanly sidewalk diffidently Mht my body in its sudden de- tmi Snowballs are fine to view lton they lie in a decomposed state a one's front lawn, but when trans¬lated by mischievous boys into far-dispensing and bruise-adminis- Mriu missiles. I would sooner en- MDter a monkey and a tree full of cocoanuts. All of which literary ex¬hibition is endeavoring to explain ; hjl am sitting on six pillows, eye¬ing t bottle of liniment, rubbing nunerous places of my anatomy, Bin ladylike groans and blankety- Manx words, and reminiscencing.

SPECTATOR i The latest issue of The Spectator, the weekly publication of the class I in creative writing, is on file in the Itaary. and you may read it if, as Miss Helen Lindquist says, your ! bands are clean. This latest issue very gravely dis- jtoass prohibition, the war debts, the km of the Saturday Evening Post tad the Girls' Glee club. An, but mat caught my eye was an acknowl- manent of my review of the first ana; however, in future acknowl- Mteents please refer to me as & T.-I'm not P. H. G. to anyone. evelyn Stewart has written a clever Me sketch of her impressions, but Mat pleased me most, there was not (labile little Edgar. At times it is II rather difficult to distinguish be¬tween editorials and news, but, to you who are unemployed in study hall, I suggest: "Reach for the Spectator instead of the Ballyhoo." RECOVERIES The strange part about these ill¬nesses is that practically all of the participants are convalescing and re-turning about the same day. Never¬theless, after the long rest period, school should become very lively. Imagine the pranks seeking free¬dom from the cobwebby recesses of flu-stricken students. SPRING FEVER When you glance into the eyes of budding geniuses you see strange looks. Don't be alarmed, they are merely seeking new ways to cover up fishing trips and movies. The excuses of funerals and illness are obsolete. Oh, well, what a life. Too bad the ground hog saw his shadow, but all the more time to ski and such. CHATTER AND CHAFF Edgar says: "I went to a party where every guest tried to outdo the other's boredom; consequently, when I tried to act happy the sophisticates labeled me a disgrace to the good old eighteenth." SOME UNKNOWNS What does a sponsor's position demand? Why do twelfth grade females act so sophisticated? Why do so many of our confirmed tenors try to imitate "Bing"? Why do the seniors fail to realize the value of an emblem? Why doesn't a chatter and chaff editor make friends? Why do certain students make their friends squirm with humility because of their brutal sarcasm? Why does little Edgar treat big Edgar so brutally? Carpe Diem celebrated their "sil¬ver anniversary" by pledging "Rog¬ers" but let us have no spooning— Di-ames! What was news of yesterday Edgar says today: Barbara Lindquist sure-' Iy isn't trying to Dock-him. Don't worry, it's just an old Norman cus¬tom. The_det)tessibn surely has taken Wheezer Wheelwright for a ride, for instance, the other day little Edgar saw him carrying some skim milk home in a Phi Lambda Tau mega¬phone. It seems that Helen Tanner likes them "Young." Am I "Fera" wrong, Helen? Even though we have that stupid —end—us affair in China, students, let us attend the one and only Ca¬det Hop! Little Edgar Winchellizing: Yes, my fine little friend Alice Barker and I went to the same good Alma Malta together. Good old North, eh, Alice. Those were the good old days when Alice drug down A's (she still does), and Edgar (oh, well) he just went to school. Now to the third of our good old North triumvirate: To Katherine "Bonnie" Wilson! O. H. S. is the better because of your pleasing and unassuming per¬sonality. You and I are all alone, now, Bonnie—It's all Dutch with Alice. Okay—Reminiscenceville! You ought to watch Bill Demik pull a Frankenstein. Houtz Green is always in a hurry —Oh. well he's gotta Hunter. Little Edgar and big Edgar are the Jekyll and Hydes of Edgar's com¬plex (only not so bad), big Edgar de-tests women (that's why you never hear him), little Edgar, Oh, well, he's different. Enough! Preparations Made For Patriotic Test Feb. 5, 1932 Oration Must Be Written And Extemporaneous Talk Given (Ogden High School Notes) Thirteen prospective contestants for the national oratorical contest on the Constitution of the United States met Thursday. Under the rules, the contestants must be under nineteen years of age, and they must write a six-minute oration on a subject dealing with the Constitution of the United States. They must give a four-min¬ute extemporaneous talk on an ad¬ditional or particularized phase of the prepared speech. NEW CONTEST Wait! Watch!. And see! A new ktod of a contest Is to be sponsored by Phi Lambda Tau. It is one that will tax your eye and brain and show whether or not you have actually noticed your class¬mates. This contest is open to ev¬eryone to the school. It will last about two weeks and the reward will be a cash prize. Watch the west bulletin board from next Monday on. Don't miss seeing it every day. —B. K. STELLAE Last Friday night after the game, Stellae had a party which degen¬erated into a meeting, at which we elected our first junior pledges to our most illustrious club. The six lucky juniors are Virginia Soder- berg, Dorothy Paine, Mary June Lameroux, Jack Watson, Wright Volker and Lee Boerans. We also elected one senior pledge, Farrar Wheelwright. (Poor lad, think of his initiation) We are looking for¬ward to the rest of the year with these children, and hope they like Stellae as well as we do. —Marie Louise Dobbs. SCHOOL CHANGE Latest addition to O. H. S.—"The Harmony Twins"—Pat vs. Paul. We wonder why Ozzie Byrne is holding on to his clothes so tight¬ly Maybe it's because he's going to get a Shurtlift. If you think you're falling, brace yo$r feet and hang cm tight. You can't hope to win a battle if you don't stand up and fight. ALPHA OMEGA Because we had no pleasure with our business last Friday we ap¬pointed another committee of enter-tainment. The committee took over this unwelcome task with the un¬derstanding that no resignations would be accepted and that if pro¬grams in the future were no better they would be severely reprimand¬ed. But here is the big point. If you have a pal who does anything from a one-man clown act to blow- tog the measly sax, help our meet¬ings and the committee by giving them the low down. —Dell Tower, Reporter. OFFICERS ELECTED Meeting of the Coguascendi Causa club (Mrs. Newcomb's second period class) was called to order February 1 by President Williams. The min¬utes were read and the council re¬port given. The new officers for this six weeks were elected: Bill Alsup as president; Miss Elaine Ste¬vens as vice president; Miss Louise Peterson as secretary and Ed Olsen as reporter. The new president took the chair and called for the order of the day. After a heated discussion (?) on the parliamentary questions the first group of speakers were given the floor. They were confronted by the perplexing problem of "the best book to have, if you were cast away on a desert isle." (We imagine they would be thinking of other things.) Alice Huggins would take Shakespeare; Louise Peterson would take the Bible (she says it's inter¬esting—honest); MaLou Dobbs would take "Believe It or Not" by Ripley; Elaine Evans would take the dictionary (ambition personi¬fied); Jean Vail would take her prayer book, and Elaine Stevens would take "In Tune With the In¬finite" (deep stuff). Next, Reeves, Junk, Carr (all stu¬dents) gave a pro and con discussion on "Should the United States take part in the present Far East (not Huntsville) trouble?" ! Meeting was then adjourned. CHATTER AND CHAFF 1 Edgar says: "Now that certain juniors in this aged institute of learning are beginning to feel the importance of their so-called social positions, they are becoming quite uppish, to be frank, they are swell- s headed. Juniors, there is no posi- ; tion in this school that can be the germ of uppishness, so don't forget your old friends!" Have you ever noticed how ill Big Bill Thompson looks just after he has had one of his news articles cut and subtracted. Don't feel bad, Bill, the first hundred cuts are the hard¬est to take. The sponsor stock is quite low right now, but little Edgar predicts a "Hop" pretty soon. To you, Chuck Woods, your dis¬claimer has been accepted by the two Edgars. Nevertheless, you shouldn't call little Edgar a wise eld sage because he's so dumb he called to pass a policemen's intel¬ligence test. Another thing, Chuck, you deserve to be bawled out be¬cause you should have more pride than to use the name of Edgar. What does parody mean? AS BAND PLAYS Thoughts while the band plays: Marching down the avenue to "The Stars and Stripes." Mr. Merrill to a general's uni¬form. A sponsor at the front. Harm. Williams playing the type¬writer—about 600 per minute! Sergeant Russ Farr shooting craps with a general. Gene Goddard skinning cooties. Elaine Evans serving honey buns ad cocoa to weary, weary men. Sarge. Holloway yelling "Pull them in." Paul Goddard lighting a Murad as he ducks a grenade. Bill Kinner trying to duck in a six-foot trench. Chuck Woods writing "True Stor¬ies." Little Edgar smoking a Stemo about 345,000,234 miles from the front. No, student! O. B. Madson has not been lost, Anita Van Dyke just went to California for a week. Guinivere Woolley says that it's ! grand to have a man that comes every time she "Cawley's."
