Show Students Welcome Issue of Classicum May 2, 1932 Leap Year Motif Appears In Latest Copies of Publication (Ogden High School Notes) To the delight of the students,: copies of the long awaited Classicum were distributed Tuesday. This . issue was appropriately done in the : Leap Year idea, and if you don't understand this phenomenon of leap . year when you have finished read¬ing your copy we sympathize. The ; cover is attractive in black and white, and interesting illustrations appear at intervals through the magazine. The student body is ex¬cellently represented by its contribu¬tions. The staff should be congrat¬ulated on their splendid work. The Quarterly seems to be getting bet- i ter at every issue. CONTEST TRYOUTS Last Monday after school, tryouts were held in Mrs. Newcomb's room . for the national constitutional contest. Lawrence Sommerville won first place and Edward Olsen sec¬ond place. The other contestants were: Edward Linsley, Wilber Montierth, Hy Richards, and Curtis Bybee. Congratulations to all of you. You were splendid. Today is a red letter day in Girl Scoutdom in Ogden. Mrs. Frederick Edey of New York, national presi-dent, will appear at many activities planned in her honor by the scout council, of which Mrs. P. J. Dix is first commissioner. Three of the council members are members of our O. H. S. faculty. Mrs. Irwin is cor¬responding secretary, Mrs. Newcomb is chairman of the constitu¬tion committee and Mrs. Wade is chairman of the publicity committee, These council members attended the twelve o'clock breakfast today in the Hotel Bigelow to meet Mrs. Edey. Tonight at eight a reception on the hotel mezzanine will be held, to , which members of the faculty and their wives and husbands are espe¬cially invited. If you, too ,are inter¬ested in scouting, be there.—Edna P. Wade. classes for unemployed Of one division of our school very little is ever said or done. To many, shop work and auto mechanics are only taken for the extra credit. The academic subjects are given every preference over these two subjects. Yet no one can get around the argu¬ment that the training of one's hands is just as important as the training of the mind, and in time if only for this reason alone these two subjects should be required sub- j jects. To the auto mechanics depart¬ment has been added a course for the benefit of the unemployed, who hold classes every Tuesday and Fri¬day under the direction of Mr. Hale. The men seem to be very enthusi¬astic and eager to learn as out of a j total enrollment of 30 there is an average of 24 men at each class ses¬sion. An interesting fact may be f added about these men. They come from many walks of life. Among, them are former store clerks, com¬mon laborers, firemen, brakemen, farmers, cattlemen, machinists, elec¬tricians, auto mechanics and rail-' road mechanics. The men learn the theory in class and then apply it in the shop, the time being divided equally. The course as given is an extremely practical one. They learn the general principles of car repair¬ing such as the general upkeep of a car and how to make minor re¬pairs. Having this simple working knowledge of the car will greatly reduce the expenses for the upkeep of their cars. This in itself is a great benefit and value to the un-employed who could not afford to pay for repairs. Mr. Hale should be especially commended for his splendid work with these classes. Mr. Hale receives no extra pay for this extra work. If we would all do only ifoartly as much as Mr. Hale doing in the helping of the unemployed, things would assume a much more cheerful aspect.—Sid Gordon. ADVERTISING The purpose of advertising is to get people or a certain class of peo¬ple to patronize or buy a certain ab-stract quality or article of goods. A rather extensive advertising cam¬paign is being carried on and is in the process of being formed in this school. Probably a good deal of this ad¬vertising will strike the average stu¬dent as "bunk," to be skipped over or thrown away, according to where it appears. However, the idea is that the advertising committee of the Classicalia is trying to get ev¬ery student in the school, all alumni, and as many others as possible to go to this outstanding dance. We guarantee a good time; in fact, a rip-snorting good time. It will prob-ably cost a little more than most of the dances of the year but you will get every bit of your money's worth in enjoyment. At the same time that you are doing this you will be helping the yearbook staff to put over one of the best year¬books ever put out. For that rea¬son remember Russ Stone's wording of it: "The bigger the Classicalia the better the yearbook." As you see, this is just a word of explanation to try if possible to keep you from becoming antagon¬ized when you see the slogan: "Get Classicalia Conscious."—The Com¬mittee. OBSERVATIONS j Genevieve Lavin's pet name fol¬lowing "St." is Lawrence ,and her ideal of a perfect man is "Shaw" and not George Bernard, either. (Oh, Genevieve, f-a-w-n-c-y that.) Hubert Lynch complains of hav¬ing got a "flat tire" last night. (Now hubby, your vagueness makes us linger between two allusions.) Ellen Halgren has a . new "red" spring outfit and everything to go with it (pardon me). Lowell James should go out for track, he can sure run "a-Ellen." Earl Reeves hopes to "marry" in "June" a Lamoreaux. Irene Keseling is looking for a "hubby" (I'll get lynched for this). Harriet Robison believes in the fifty-fifty plan (now boys, quit rushing). Mabel Barton always "Russels" a "Stone." And now children, in signing off, let me say that it is at the stroke of twelve midnight when all d-e-a-d s-h-a-l-l a-r-i-s-e. Well, dear stu¬dents, sleep tight — and pleasant dreams.—R. C. INVINCIBILITY SHOWN Although we, the members of I- Wannan-O, have always been con¬scious of our far superiority over the other clubs of the school on the basketball court (or in any other line of activity), we finally and thoroughly convinced the members of We 13 last Saturday by the one¬sided score of 55 to 23. Because of We 13's boastful and slightly exag¬gerated remarks of how they were going to skunk us, we issued a chal¬lenge to them. We did at least expect to receive a little competition but we were sorrowfully disappoint¬ed. After the game our players had to run around the block a cou¬ple of times to get a "sweat up" so they could take a shower. Among the members of We 13's team (inappropriately called a bas¬ketball team), were four members of Ogden High's first squad, including Captain Dale Anderson, Herm Leh¬man, Bud Ellis, and Lee Boreens. Their remaining subs were Curt Bybee, Bill Alsup, Earl Reeve, Clyde Bassett, and Bob Bingham. On our invincible team, which has proven that it contains some future All- American timber, the players are Joe Fowler, Jim Foulger, Harm Wil¬liams, Burt Black, Russell Stone, Russell Farr, Ed Olsen, Bob Hetzel, and Paul Bramwell. Because we can receive no compe¬tition on the basketball court we now are. taking up spring football, and we are playing ping-pong with Carpe Diem. However, the other Cast To Be Chosen For "Pirate's Bride " High School Will Present Opera Latter Part of April (Ogden High School Notes) Pirates! Crossbones! Don Cubek de Cigarro, a haugh¬ty, explosive old Spanish grandee, comes in contact with them both. He wishes his fair daughter to marry a Spanish nobleman, but the wants of her lover, an American, are different. See what happens when father and lover of the daughter are de¬termined in their ideas, but in the opposite direction. April 25 is the date set and the next two weeks will be big weeks for anyone in the school to try out for the part of the famous Captain Crossbones or any other part in the opera, "The Pirate's Bride." ORATORICAL CONTEST Another chance for those who like to talk. It is the annual Lewis oratorical contest in which Ogden High, Weber High, Box Elder High, and Davis High compete. The speeches may be on any subject and ten minutes in length. A cup is awarded the school that wins and is for the school, but prizes will be awarded the winning debaters. The first prize is a watch and second a pin. Such stakes should offer some encouragement. Only two or¬ators will be taken from O. H. S., and the best man wins, so begin planning, all who are interested. The date has not been decided but will be in April. Either Mrs. Chambers or Mr. Robins will be glad to offer detailed information to anyone who wishes it.—Fay Cardon. COLONIAL DAUGHTERS The National Society of Colonial Daughters is sponsoring an essay contest to be on any subject in-volving patriotism or high civic ideals. A gold bronze medal will be awarded to the writer of the best essay in the school and a certifi¬cate of merit './ill be presented to each pupil whose work is of suffi¬cient excellence. The length is to be from five hundred to one thou¬sand words. English teachers are urged to have this for either a spe¬cial or a regular assignment and to turn in from three to five of the best essays from each class not later than April 5. This is under the direction of Mr. Robins. The following are suggested as acceptable subjects: The George Washington Bi¬centennial Celebration. Deforestation the Cause of Deserts and Floods. John Adams and John Quincy: Adams. The World Court. The Power of Public Opinion. —Helen Parmley. PLEASANT TIME Boy! Oh Boy! Did the Alpha Sigma club have a good time last Saturday night? Just ask Bob; Rushmer. Mr. Neilsen, in his usual obliging manner, managed to get the Weber gym for us. We did the rest, in fact we had a splashing good time. After the swimming, we left the gym for the Berthana ball¬room. There we did the customary thing. By this time the mid-sec¬tion of our anatomies began to howl, so we rushed madly up to the "Ye olde Creole Shack," where we gorged with great gusto. Then as even the best good times must end, _we went home to rest in the arms of Morpheus. —Gray Oshel, Reporter. ATTEND OGDEN-WEBER GAME Much has been said lately about getting Classicalia conscious, but there is something else that you should become conscious about: Ogden and Weber having their final game this coming Monday at eight in the Weber gymnasium on Twen- ty-fifth street. This will be a very important game. If we win this game we will go to the state con¬test as winners of our division. The team is in very good condition and will be sure to do its best. Every person in the entire school should t attend this game and support the team to the best of its ability. This promises to be the best game of the season and it will be well worth the money you spend to see it. Come to this game and help us win. ! FOR QUEEN " i We nominate for Classicalia queen: : Alice Barker, because she is president of Zeta Phi Zi; because she has ' big brown eyes; because she falls ' for one of the football players, and , because she is chairman of the so- . cial committee. Harriet Robinson, because she ' sings in Zeta's trio; because she is one of those glorious blondes, who, 5 when in a formal gown, simply I knocks your eye out. , Elaine Evans, because she is ! vice president of the student body; because she is a sponsor; because she has the prettiest frown, and be¬cause she is simply Elaine Evans. CLUB REPORTERS! 3 There has been a great deal of 1 dissension of late among club mem- - bers. It seems that these honorables ! criticize the editor for holding back their club reports. Sometimes it is 5 necessary to retain an article one 3 day, but more often they go in im- ; mediately. If you have something ivery important put it in the day it happens. : j The notes handed in today will be " published tomorrow, so there is necessarily one day's wait. Be as 1 prompt with your reports as possible. ALL-DIVISION HONORS The last doubt as to Ogden High's class in basketball was re- ' moved with the announcement of the all-division team. With three Tigers on the first team and two on the second, Ogden leads all ri- I vals. John Weir, "Kat" Kinner, and 1 Captain Dale Anderson are the men who won first team honors, and ! Lehman and Joe Fowler placed on i the second five. Besides this, Kinner was high point man in this di¬vision while Anderson led all rivals Mat the guard position. We feel that all members of the squad should be highly commended 1 for their fine work, as should Coach Kapple, who has worked faithfully ; to develop the team. ; We are looking forward eagerly to the last game with Weber, on Mon¬day next, and with the champion¬ship at stake the Tigers are bound to win. —Parke Petterson. SAMMY SIXTEEN After escorting my weary body to school this delightful morning I was surprised to find myself, after two hours of misery, on my way to as¬sembly. Reaching the notorious left- hand section I immediately saw an accomplice who had faithfully promised to save me a seat. Imag¬ine my consternation as I tried to make my way through the indif¬ferent mob of spectators who rudely shoved me aside. But as I have a "never say die spirit" I again started. After much manual labor I finally secured a place to rest my weary body and turned to see what was going on. As I glanced up and down the 1 aisles my eyes came to rest on none other than Susie Seventeen, who immediately recognized me. Paying no further attention to her I cen¬tered my attention on what was going on elsewhere. Suddenly a gruff voice in back of me exclaimed, "Gee, why did I ever pick a place like this. I'm right in front of a radiator and is it, warm? Whew! Trying to escape from such re¬marks I placed my attention else¬where. Glancing around I noticed three nearby spectators reading a novel. I immediately forgot about ! the assembly as I also started to read. Some time later I finished and upon glancing about me I , found that we were the only ones ; in the so-called auditorium of which J we boast. Making my way to class I was called down by an unsympathetic teacher. Shortly afterward I fell asleep and left all the worries of school behind me. —R.
