Farewell Expressed By Student Editors May 26, 1932 Appreciation Written As "Thirty" Sounded For School Staff OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Elpha Morse, Editor Now that the time has come to say farewell, which has been our ul¬timate aim, a sad feeling steals in to crowd out some of the joy. The sorrow has welled up until the joy becomes almost obliterated. How fnany good times we have had with our classmates in this old building. Now that the year is over and the joys and sorrows mellowed with the time that has elapsed between our last assembly and now, we wish to take this opportunity to sin¬cerely thank all those who have co-operated with the staff in making the notes a success. Especially, at this time, we wish to th'ank The Standard-Examiner for their hearty support. Farewell—may next year's editor be as fortunate as I have been in associate editors.—Elpha Morse, editor in chief. SWAN SONG With the last night of the publi¬cation of the notes, the editors find it their unpleasant task to bid fare¬well to the classmates and those outside of high school who have made writing the notes indeed a pleasure. As associate editor, I may say that Elpha has been a wonderful editor-in-chief, and the encourage¬ment and criticisms she has given us have proved valuable. Bob has been an inspiration as an associate editor, and I'm sure that without his excellent help, the notes would have lacked much of the material ap¬pealing to the boys. Never has the staff felt that it was beyond their power to perform the duties given them, and the co-operation has been splendid. Leaving Bob and Elpha and the notes is one of the hardest of tasks, but we are confident that the staff next year will enjoy writ¬ing the notes as much as we have, and we are sure that they will make thfem a success. Best wishes to all of you—Vir¬ginia Hunter, associate editor. A FOND GOOD BYE Each year at this time everyone ! is saying good bye, and it is now the time when we, the editors, have to write our final editorial. We have appreciated the co-operation that the students have given us. Editing the notes is not en easy job, since everyone has different ideas of what these notes should be like. Criticism and suggestions have been received with due appreciation, and we have tried to remedy the errors that we have made. Although it has been hard work at times, each one of the editors has enjoyed his work and will miss it greatly when it is all over. Much enjoyment has been gained through these writ¬ings, and many good times have been had in the student body room in preparing them. The student body room will be much missed by us, however, we know that someone 'else will be enjoying the same good times there. I just wish to thank all those who have co-operated with me and the other two editors. May the editors for next year enjoy' their work as much as I have. — Robert Hetzel, associate editor. J SINCERITY Do you order chocolate ice cream f when you prefer vanilla? Do you- make nice remarks to people when! you feel exactly the opposite, and wouldn't mind telling someone else so? Do you attempt something when you would rather not bother j with it, when you have no faith in yourself that you can succeed and consequently make only a feeble ef¬fort? If so, you are handicapping yourself as well as others and are missing the finer things in life, for sincerity is the first essential of success and enjoyment. If you have a whole-hearted in¬terest in any enterprise and a sin- 1 cere determination to win, you have already a good start toward your goal. Without a real attempt we lean attain but little, but a sincere effort along any line will command reward. So, as you journey down life's pathway, be sincere in all that you do and say, have a determined desire to conquer in spite of obsta¬cles, and remember the old slogan, "Where there's a will, there's a way."—Parke Peterson. THE NEW TEACHER Seniors, you are leaving and will now be under the guidance of a new teacher. This new teacher you will meet as you come in contact with the ex¬periences of the world. You have led, to some degree, a sheltered life. The first six years were at home and the last twelve have been under the supervision of your parents and various teachers, these people have been sympathetic, un-derstanding and generous. This new teacher isn't going to be, she has little sympathy, is heartless and not understanding. She is hard boiled and full of hard knocks. So straighten up, seniors, and prepare to carry your load—Barbara Kim¬ball. FRIENDSHIP What an infinitely worth-while thing is friendship. A kind word in a moment of stress, silent under-standing and sympathy in a time of sorrow or happiness, and above all —loyalty, a trust where one's deep¬est feelings may be considered in good safekeeping. Friendship does not mean a casual "hello" in the hall or on the street. Neither does it entail whispered words behind an unsuspecting back or spiteful looks directed thereto. False promises and deeds are forever foreign to it. It depicts the best one has to give —faithfulness, loyalty, and true un¬derstanding. Friendship—a wonder¬ful thing!—Marjorie Wood.

As a fine climax to the year's work as an association, our presi¬dent presented to the student body as a gift from the Girls' association of 1931-32, a wonderful painting by that well known California artist, Maynard Dixon. [ The painting is called "Ramparts of Sandstone," and is a fine exam¬ple of that splendid artist's work. It will add much to our collection. SURPRISE AWARD At ten o'clock the student body had their farewell assembly. Paul Goddard played two selections on the piano entitled "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "'Blues Indigo." Miss Ellen Halgren favored us with a reading de¬picting a poor school teacher's trou¬bles. Miss Kipoko Oda played a very delightful selection. The stu¬dent body officers were sworn in amidst tears and smiles. Earl Reeves turned his book over to Wendell Fowler; Elaine Evans pre¬sented Dorothy Paine, and Russell Stone presented his gavel to Dale Anderson. Then Mr. Hopkins of¬fered an award that was a surprise to most of us. The best all-state 1 center ever, Bill Kinner, was pre¬sented with a gold watch by news¬paper men the state over. Honest¬ly, that grin of Bill's reached from on ear clear over to the other. We are mighty glad he received it for he certainly deserved it. As a fitting climax to our assem¬bly Miss Edna Williams sang "Aloha." Following her farewell song the final assembly of the year ad¬journed. OGDEN CADETS IN THIRD PLACE! Again Rank Among Finest R. O.
