What's over? Why school, of course. What else could make you feel am-bitious again. You walk blithely ant of the building with not a, care left in the world. . What if you have tesons, just an insignificant trifle to some people, perhaps). But lhat care, you walk on. Suddenly jour feet move ahead, you remain KJtionary. Result? Somehow or other you have mistaken the steps for a chute and to the bottom you 0 before you know what it's all } about, with disastrous results to cer- ; ain part of your anatomy. It wouldn't be so bad, if (always an lfl those horrid people wouldn"t I think it so humorous. A plague take them, it certainly doesn't feel that Finally the conventional question. "Did you hurt yourself?" You did, but not wishing to ap¬pear soft, you reply, "No, of course not! It just injured my feelings a; trifle." (In a voice sweet as sugar.) Then the inevitable wise cracker: "Funny place for your feelings?" "Oh yeah!" —Sid Gordon. S ABOUT FAMOUS PEOPLE Were you aware that Lincoln did not drink, smoke or chew? Did you know that Martha Mc¬Gregor has not missed a day of school in five years? RANDOM REMARKS Edgar III says: If you have some¬thing that you don't want anybody to read-put it on the bulletin board. Did you ever see: Joe Fowler in knee pants? Helen Lindquist frown? Miss Stephenson leave her desk in ; one place a whole period? Hermese B— without Doyle H ? Edgar says: Don't be offended at my little jokes on your names, re¬member, it's all in pun. Wow! that slipped, honest. Impressions: Jim Gibson—tall, dark hair, glasses, and looking I straight to the front. Edgar III Winchel-izing: Virginia Hunter, that delirious blonde, and Houtz Green, whose picture is now i gently reposing in Ford's window on Twenty-fourth street, are in that tell known condition. God bless to, my children! CANCELLED Principal A. M. Merrill has re¬ceived from University of Utah a noiice as follows: 'By action of the faculty and board of regents, High School day Jar 1932 has been suspended." On Wednesday night the members of A. D. M. met in Mr. Robins' room where the roll was called and six members were found absent. The minutes of the last meeting were! read and Approved. We then ad-i journed to Mr. Hansen's room forj our program. Three numbers plan-! ned upon failed to appear. Phyllis Abplanalp played a piano solo and; impromptu numbers were given by Helen Murphy and Marjorie Wood. Plans for the assembly were dis¬cussed, also the club party and bas¬ketball. Meeting then adjourned. THUMBNAIL SKETCHES "Baby" Glen Hendricks is a bottle baby. As a matter of fact he was at a party, and somebody gave him a bottle ('a milk bottle, and not what you think) and ever since then he's been known as "Baby." If he is a baby, I'm not born yet. When he pats you on the back, he just about knocks your backbone through your ribs. When he blushes, it's you that sees red—not him. He's going to be a plumber; he doesn't know about it, but that is the only job open to a person as slow as he is. To say that he plays football wouldn't do him justice; he's made a study of it. He's regional center on the football team. He's a guard on the basketball team, and he I pitches when he plays "baseball, ij think he is Sin athlete. If he's a fighting man, I'll probably have to leave town. (And don't anybody say ; —"It's not a bad idea at that." —B. T. Military Ball Will Take Place Friday Feb. 17, 1932 Crack Company Puts On Exhibition Drill at Ten O'Clock Annual military ball of the Ogden High school will be held Friday, February 19 at eight thirty o'clock in the Berthana ballroom.

Mildred Larson SHOWING SKETCHES Two sketches will be placed Thursday on the west bulletin board, the first at eight thirty and the second at twelve -thirty. These will be the last ones and all contestants must have their list in no later than three thirty of that day, with the names in the order in which the drawings appeared.

Each member began work on some design to be worked into the leather. IThe first design to be done will be Ismail key-tainers. i A short discussion on membership was made. Advisor J. Schofield EDGAR III SPEAKING Edgar III says: It is easy to find an officer talk¬ing to a sponsor, but did you ever see one talking to his own sponsor? Edgar . Ill Winchel-izing: I see Frank Burton and Mildred Larson hanging on the telephone m the upper hall, and while it is none of my business, still—. Snappy comeback 1885: Choose your weapons, suh. Sights I'll never forget: Dave Wangsgard standing in front of Phi Lam's drawing, and not know¬ing whether to smile or frown. Ray Raty paid the school a call last night (but the news is when the man bites the dog, you know.) Pet Antipathies: The way Dee Wangsgard shakes hands. Late again Thursday: This evening three friends and I (me and myself included for com, pany, not grammar) peregrinated (or do I mean slipped?) to the Weber gymnasium, for not even the alluring covers of neglected school books could have kept us from the best basketball fray of the season. Imagine my unconceited pride when I discovered that I had at last con¬trived, thanks to a series of tele¬phone calls of the hurry-up variety,1 to grace a game with my presence J before the final score reposed upon the board! I shall always remember the satisfied smile upon the face of the dear (for once) clock as I ap¬proached its approving vicinity at seven thirty. I soon learned the meaning of that heartless phrase. "Time waits for no man,"however, since a desire' to complete the conversations several ' dismissal bells had cut short, and interest unprecedented in stuffed birds, mice, and miscellaneous but- terfiles, and a loathness to drag my scholastically weary bones up the several flights of stairs posses- ! sed by the aforesaid edifice pre- ; vented me from carrying out my ; well - meaning intention to get a good seat. Being a good Latin student (when?), I came to the conclusion . that I was squeezed between two en-thusiastic fans and forced to look down upon the athletic world not because I am snobbish, but because ; "Tempus fugit". At any rate, the i direct or indirect result (I know not which) is that I have a stiff neck .from craning to observe the parti- , culars of the game at the disadvan¬tageous! situated end of the floor and a slightly dizzy sensation in my head from ascending and descending circular steps. Susie Seventeen "Adventuring" is the name that Antioch College puts no its bulletin, and "Adventuring" one would find it in this far-seeing school in cen¬tral Ohio. While it is in a small, town called Yellow Springs, it is directly accessible to many large cities close by. But the outstanding thing about Antioch College is its unique plan. Its students spend half their time in the class room learn¬ing theories and the other half in the surrounding country at plants and places of business where they learn to apply their theories. It is the ideal plan for anyone financially situated this side of a millionaire. It was founded by Horace Mann, who incorporated into it his ideas which have grown to the present college. It is not a fanatical school: in which the student must conform! to useless and nerve-racking regula¬tions—it is a well -conducted in¬stitution of learning with just as many extra-curriculum activities as any school in the country. A news-, paper, several literary publications,1 dances, plays, and all tjhe other things which go to make up an in¬teresting college life are not lack¬ing. It gives a student a new slant! on the subject of higher education/ |
