Show Education Confers Advantages In Life Mar 11, 1932 Young People Are Advised To Finish High School At Least Elpha Morse, Editor You have become disgusted with school? Perhaps you haven't made a club you would like to have made. 1 Maybe you would like to have made the football or basketball team. Don't let that discourage you! After all, schools are organized to educate young men and women so they will be able to be successful in later life. I Have faith in your own ability and then back your faith with effort! You must finish high school be¬cause the world wants young men and young women who get things done—who finish what they begin. The applicant for a position who has finished high school has a defi¬nite advantage over the one who must confess to an uncompleted task. The general level of educa¬tion in this country has been so raised during the last few years that the young person who does not have — at least a high school education is," in preparation, below the average of those with whom he must com¬pete all his life and is always, there¬fore, at a disadvantage. A high school education gives to the student a wealth of information at a time when the memory is alert and attentive, and thus provides a valuable preparation for later life. Inspiration for achievement usu¬ally comes about high school age— and after—through associations, in¬structions, or insight, during the high school course. There are many more good rea¬sons, but space is dear. Don't quit school. Complete, at least, your high school course. —The Editor. CO-OPERATION Will you co-operate? 'Cause yearbook staffs do hate, For you to make them late, And not facilitate. i The old waste paper problem ' Asks you to think about them, Co-operation, and then The Classicalia bull pen. I could go on like this till time Did cease to progress with the clime, But I would quickly have a line, Of feet containing more than nine. —Charles Wood. FOR HIGH POSITION We want for queen: Jean Danvers, because she is a pretty brunette and would make a wonderful queen. She has the beau¬ty that anyone would want, and therefore we want Jean (Divine) Danvers for our modern queen. —Owen Croxford. THE HONORED ONE ! j To the soft, sweet strains of a ; luring waltz, the lovely queen, Madge Ashton (Mrs. Fred Chez), passed ' with her beautiful maids to the throne. Quietly she sat there until i the time came for happy feelings and congratulations from the audi¬ence to be expressed. Graciously she received them, all in her sweet, winsome manner. Nine years ago—so long to look back upon, but when the hour comes —that same thrilling hour—it will seem as though it were yesterday to those who were present. The time is approaching when one of our own charming girls will be ac¬companied by her maid of honor to the enviable position on the throne. Who will she be? —Janet Fife. PRELIMINARY VOTE Through balloting by the entire student body ,the list of 15 candi¬dates for queen of the Classicalia was reduced to seven. The remain¬ing contestants are: Holley Arthur, Jean Danvers, Elaine Evans, Ruth Hawkins, Mildred Larson, Louise Peterson and Elaine Stevens. AN OPPORTUNITY The Declaration of Independence: —we all know what it is and why it was written, but how many of us have had a chance to read it? The chance has come, for on the north wall of the library hangs a framed copy of the original. It is easy to read, as it was written by Thomas Jefferson, who was an ex¬ceedingly excellent penman. Not only is the original treasured by us for what it stands for, but also because it contains the signatures of famous men such as Hamilton, Washington, Adams and many oth¬ers. Students, if the school has gone to the extent of furnishing you with such a treasured piece of lit-erature, you should have enough spirit and pride to take an interest in it, so let us see that each of us reads this copy of the Declara¬tion of Independence. Remember! The north wall of the library. —Sid Gordon. LOOSE AGAIN! And speaking of sarcastic pens (if we weren't, we certainly should be) Helen Lindquist, public enemy No. , has broken loose in the pages of "The Spectator" again. She doesn't let anybody alone. The only ones she hasn't hit are the staff of the Notes. Her little act is commonly called "hauling over the coals," and she does it without a lot of cheap adjectives. I can still feel my ears burn. Some¬thing ought to be done about it; there ought to be a law! When the critics are criticizing the crit¬ics, the time has come for all good men to come to aid of the party. Getting angry once in a while is good fun, but getting angry all the time gets rather irksome. Go, Hel¬en, go, and never darken my door again. You'vs buttered your bread, now lie in it, —B. T. NAMES RECEIVED At last the French classes have learned their correspondents' names and, oh, boy! what names and ad¬dresses! When Mr. Taggart an¬nounced that they had come, you should have heard the cries of joy. Those who overlooked sending for a correspondent surely looked blue and down-hearted, but we shan't try to explain the feeling of those I who sentjior the name of a French pupil whom they will write to. i' thought we were to receive letters, but instead, we received th names, and will be the first to write. There are such names on the list as Jac¬queline Bruel and Denise Best, both of whom are from Marseille, but then there are Claude Campana from Paris, Lucienne Lemonnier from Dijon, Clemence Picot from Calais and Madeleine Debauve from Melun. Thus, you see we shall cor¬respond with girls and boys of all parts of France. —Jeannette Johnson. SPECULATIONS I wonder: Why Lulu is happy an' draws hearts on her books — is dreamy, when she thinks no one looks? Why Russell and Elaine are ! frowning so, could it be 'cause their spirits are low? Why Mr. Merrill so seldom ever smiles; is it because of the paper down halls and in aisles? Why Dave Wangsgard is so sober of late? Maybe a hole's in his check, for license plates. Why Ed Smith gives those assign¬ment tests? Could it be 'cause he's not feeling his best? I've wondered and thought a lot of late, why students sigh and do work second rate? I think my statements to a close I'll bring, but I'll tell you what, I've decided it's spring. —Ethel Striffler. Ogden Tigers Run Loco Againft South Rich Orange Streaks Get Post In Tourney at Salt Lake Next Week Kinner Leads Attack For Kapplemen In Title Contest Ogden High hoopsters hurdled their final obstacle to win a post in the state basketball tournament at Salt Lake by turning back the South Rich athletes, 49 to 7, in the Tiger gymnasium last night, The Ogdenites led from the fir? whistle and were afforded practical¬ly no competition from the northern ! quint. Dick Kapple's aggregation held 15 to 0 advantage at the end ol the first period and boosted their lead to 26 to 1 at the end of the half. South Rich was held to a single field basket during the four periods of play. This came late in the waning minutes of play when B. Norris tossed in a side shot. The visitors convered five out ol nine foul attempts to conclude their scoring capers. After the first half Coach Kapple used his reserves against the rivaf aggregation and all of the subs per-formed in style. The "Orange Streaks" bagged 22 field goals and scored five out of 12 tries from the foul line. Bill Kinner, pivot man de luxe, led the Tigers in scoring with six buckets and a free throw. Ogden's entire first string per¬formed in style. Anderson and Fowler were especially effective on the guard line. Weir and Lehman turned in their usual creditable games at forwards. C. Norris and B. Norris were the leading lights for the northern ma¬chine. The contest attracted only a handful of fans. Ogden suffered a 29 to 27 defeat last Monday night in her play-off with Weber, and eked out a 26 to 25 decision over tne North Cache five last Wednesday night. The event last night offered the last ob-stacle and the Tigers hurdled it with ease. Light workouts will be on sched¬ule Monday and Tuesday for the Ogdenites. They meet Uintah in the opening tournament game at Salt Lake next Wednesday. Score: SOUTH RICH G. T. F. P.
