Show Loyalty Stands as Foe of Discontent May. 15, 1932 School Editor Calls For Faithful Clinging To Duties Ogden High School Notes. Robert Hetzel, Editor Loyalty to one's self, to one's ideals, and to one's school are im¬portant in relation to the progress jof a person. If anyone ceases to become loyal to any of these things, j trouble and disaster are certain to set upon them before they would be able to realize it. If a person is loyal to himself, there is bound to be the satisfaction that he is looking toward progress instead of looking backwards. If he does not betray his ideals, he still keeps mov¬ing forward all the time. It is very necessary for one to be loyal to his school, for without any loyalty to one's school, it would not be a school worthy of anyone's attention. If everyone showed supreme loyalty to¬ward his school there would not be one-half of the discontent that is usually shown toward schools and schooling. —The Editor. STATE TOURNAMENT Although we were1 defeated in an extra period contest with Weber for the division championship, the Ti¬gers have exhibited wonderful de¬termination in staging a comeback to win a place in the state tourna¬ment. In defeating North Cache and South Rich High school teams, we have won the right to compete in Salt Lake City for the state title. The tournament will be held at the Deseret gym on Wednesday, Thurs¬day, Friday and Saturday of this week. Our first game is with Uin¬tah at one-thirty o'clock of the opening day. We still have a good chance for the state championship, and we're confident the team will give their all. No students will be excused during school hours to attend the tourna¬ment. If the team stays in the contest long enough, there will be plenty of time to see the games. —Parke Petterson. TALKS ON BANKING Mr. Budge, of the Commercial Security bank, gave the second of a series of talks to Mr. Abplanalp's commercial law class. The talks are ! sponsored by the American Insti¬tute of Banking. The topic of Mr. Budge's talk was "Checks, Notes and Other Negotiable Instruments." He ! asked many questions which were answered by members of the class. Mr. Budge was very interesting, and we hope to have more like him in the near future. POSITION UNFILLED Juniors, the associate business manager for the annual Classicum has not yet been selected. Did you know that the business manager for next year is selected from the cream of the associate business managers of this year? If you desire to have this business position, now is the time to act. You do not have to i write anything; all that is neces- : sary is to see Mr. Kasius in room 304. I DECLARE MORATORIUM My pennies for peace (not a piece of somebody's mind). Because of a noble desire to better relations be- tween ye divided states of Ogden High school and My Country 'Tis of Thee of Helen Lindquist, I de¬clare a moratorium upon all verbal, vo(#l and _ pugilistic battles — in short, a general cessation of hostili¬ties. Herein find enclosed a white flag, a peace treaty and a reforma¬tion. Peace be with you all until I am safely graduated. —Helen Lindquist. FAMILIAR SCENES I was walking along the aisles i of this dearly beloved school of ours, i when all of a sudden a mob of girls did advance toward me with an , avaricious look in their eyes. To myself I asked, "What do all these girls want with me?" I couldn't answer the question. I was baffled. Closer and closer they came, un¬til finally they were upon me. Then came the query (chorus of 12): "Would you like to buy your tickets to the Classicalia from me—or—me —or me—??? Such a deluge of questions took my breath away, but gathering what was left of my wits, I replied, "I'm sorry, but I've already secured my tickets." Slowly they turned around, and as they left I heard one say, "Aw, nerts." —H. L. DID YOU KNOW? Things I never knew till now: That Russ Stone got one vote for queen at the nomination convention a week ago. H. L. (male) is always trying to collaborate with someone—anyone— on a literary masterpiece. And speaking of collaboration—R. C., H. L. and Janet Garner write very well, collectively. Clyde Bassett, one of the "higher- ups" on the Classicalia, has modern¬istic ideas as how that dance should be handled. H. L. (female) has chosen the surest way to fame (or should Ij say fame) by criticizing us better j critics. That Mr. Kasius was refused ad¬mittance to the Classicalia, when he was about seven years old, because his costume was too abbreviated. That the little Edgars are gone and practically forgotten. That those little cards, "Classi¬calia Comments," were originated and perpetrated by none other than "Chuck" Wood. Whoever stole the "Classy" sign that was over Mr. Merrill's door showed a fine sense of artistic val¬ues. That when Bert Black counts votes by fives, he counts 55-60-75— and it takes the best efforts of Russ Stone to keep him straight. That Friday is the next election, and you have to have your tickets to vote. —B. T. BIGGER YEARBOOK The bigger the Classicalia, the bigger the yearbook. There has been a great deal of sentiment this year for a bigger yearbook. It seems that students! think that the yearbook will notj be as good as in former years be¬cause of this depression. That is wrong. We are going to have just as big a yearbook, and it will be even bigger if you will support the Class¬icalia. The money made at the Classicalia is turned into the year¬book funds. Boys, make dates; girls, hook dates; students, get dates; buy your tickets and support the Classicalia. Don't forget—the bigger the Class¬icalia, the bigger the yearbook. Perfect Happiness Difficult to Attain Mar. 16, 1932 Mankind Seldom Content To Rest When Goal Reached Ogden High School Notes. Elpha Morse, Editor. It is undeniable that the great quest of humanity is for happiness. After studying human nature one finds the person who says he is happy is usually the shallow, in¬sincere individual. Nearly every¬one wants something he hasn't got He wants money, always more and more until a fortune is accumulat¬ed. Then comes a greater problem, keeping it safe from bad invest¬ments, robbers and thousands of perils. The ambitious individual at¬tains his goal, then strives to reach even greater heights. The dreamer sits and pictures his ideal which , will always be far off because he only dreams. Perfect happiness, to , me, would be to live a life of ser- 1 vice to others, to get away from , artificiality and to have perfect ( health. —The Editor. ( CONGRESS ON EXHIBITION Congress paraded before juniors last Monday. Our debating squad was brought to attention by Captain Virginia Hunter, and congress strat- j egy was then demonstrated by Edna Williams, Marybeth Early, Kiyoko Oda and Helen Lindquist, with the usual review of parliamentary routine a necessary part of the ex- hibition. t Warlike details were realistically; embodied in two sham battles be- j tween Congress and Forum detach- ol ments over the next verbal encoun- pi ter, in three weeks, upon the sub- m ject of kidnaping as a capital crime 0j A peace conference was arranged) before Congress retreated, with Ann Pingree and Olive Thatcher as Con¬gress delegates. —Helen Lindquist, reporter. w, FOR QUEEN E—efficient. lii L—-ovely, tt / m A—miable. di I—irresistible. gj N—atural. iS E—nchanting , SI V—ivacious.

THE HOUSE OF NEWCOMB With the ghost of Hamlet, Sr., An stalking around and Hamlet, Jr., we acting like he had just escaped from an, Provo; with Ophelia crying as if her gaj heart would break and the king de- fjVl termining to lock Hamlet in the gar jail, the weekly meeting of the House of Newcomb was held. Old business was continued and the election of officers which had been interrupted by that cruel (?) bell, was finished. Bert Black had been elected president, so he conducted the meeting. When Bert had to participate on the program Paul Gilgen, who, by the way, had been elected vice president, took the chair Francis Burton, our new secretary read the minutes and wrote nomin¬ations for parliamentarian and re¬porter. Winston Langolois is our future parliamentarian and yours truly, the future reporter. Great things are being done to "Hamlet" and we are all in the mood for a nice juicy murder (especially Bert and Joe). If you hear shrill shrieks from the room, don't run for the police, it will only be Francis Bur- .t ton impersonating Ophelia with his high, shrill voice. —Margaret Thomas. DIARY OF A DAMSEL Furious Friday: There must be something in the line of entertainment for the un¬employed, I tried to make myself s- believe, and then I recalled that !e two prominent critics of school af- ls fairs and each other are holding literary free-for-alls in "The Spectator." In search of the latest in verbal blows, I soon arrived at my d reading destination. As my eye traveled from a rather disappoint- ing dismissal of the subject of Bill Thompson to more original com- 11 ments upon other geniuses of the J" school, I chuckled here and there to let the author, Helen Lindquist. jf know that for once I was enjoying a study hall. e At first I was modestly pleased at, her discussion of my diary and nom-de-plume. Then I reconsid- ered the question. It seemed Jhat t custom demanded I should become enraged, for Helen was "loose again.' Evidently I wasn't handling the sit¬uation properly, s Well, I wouldn't disappoint her. I read the article again to discover i its worst points. I tried to stare a hole through it; the paper was too tough. I gave the offender a few of my attempts at withering: i glances; they did anything but what 7 I desired, even evoking a sweet smile. Then for the last step of the process: I raided a friend's ; school supplies and by application Jof pencil to paper produced this prescribed reaction—a few choice re- marks, sandwiched between a couple of stinging replies a la Thompson. —Susie Seventeen. PLAY PRESENTED Regular meeting of Tau Eta NU; was held Thursday and as our main objective is the study of drama, we were presented something in that line. As you all know the dra¬matic art second year students are directing one-act plays, so Hermese Broadbent presented the one she is directing. "Mary Means What She Says," was the name of the play and the members of the cast were Ellen Halgren, Evelyn Stew¬art, Helen Brophy, Lowell James, Wilber Montierth, Lawrence Summerville and Joe Rhodes. The pre-sentation was accepted gratefully by all of the members and we! hope that we can prevail on more casts to present their plays to us. —Margaret Thomas. CONCERNING BASKETBALL "I have nothing to say," seemed to be the order of the day among the members of the basketball team, and the best efforts of this reporter could induce them to say nothing more. Captain Anderson, while de¬clining to say anything, seemed to be in very good spirits, and did not appear to be much worried over the coming game. The first of the three games of the tournament was to be played with Uintah today at one- thirty, in the Deseret gymnasium. Anderson, Fowler, Kinner, Lehman, Weir, Hendricks, Williams, Boreans and Ellis will be the men to go to Salt Lake City today, with the first five named probably starting the game. —B. |
