Show Parents Invited to Visit School Friday May 17, 1932 Award Assembly, Physical Education, Fashion Re¬views Planned Ogden High School Notes Elpha Morse, Editor Friday, May 20, is Parents' day at high school. Special programs will be given as follows: Eight-thirty a. m., award assem¬bly. Two o'clock p. m., physical edu¬cation review (girls). Eight o'clock p. m., fashion show (domestic art department.) From three until five the parents are to visit the various class rooms, meet teachers and witness exhibits. Refreshments will be served in room 105. The high school basketball team, by virtue of having won the state championship, will be given indi-vidual awards—basketballs. These will be given to Bill Kinner, Joe Fowler, Herman Lehman, Harmon Williams, Glen Hendricks; basket¬balls are awarded also to Dale An¬derson, John Weir, Lee Boerens and Frank Ellis, to be given when they are graduated, probably next year. School awards, the Block O, have been voted also by council and the faculty award committee to the fol¬lowing students: Kiyoka Ada, Clyde Bassett, Helen Lindquist, Fay Seager, Dell Tower, Russel Stone and Marie Lou Dobbs. The Standard-Examiner award— a gold watch—will go to Joe Fowl¬er. Tile Colonial Daughters award will be given to Janet Fife, and the D. A. R. award to Ellen Glines. Parents are urged to visit the school during the day if they will, and at least during the afternoon and evening. 4 SENIOR BLUES In a few short days we are gone forever from this grand old insti¬tution of learning. To the gradu¬ates this old edifice will seem mag¬nificent, for it holds the memory of multitudinous good times. How many times we have wished we were free from its bonds and now that o are about to be, the thought is a bit frightening. I When this year has come to an end, a successful one we hope, we begin to lose sight of the many fine friends we have made in our two brief years of high school. The out¬look of the future without them is darkened. Would that we could all stay together and go through the institutions of higher learning sur-rounded by our friends. We will make new friends and taste failure and success with them but somehow the old zest is gone. There are many happy years to come—let us make the most of them. —The Editor. The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but they rise behind her steps, not be¬fore them.—Ruskin. GIRLS' ASSOCIATION After a close contest between six girls for Girls' association officers, the results were written on the bul¬letin board last Friday. Hazel Lew¬is will be the president of the girls for next year, Helen Sessions will be the vice president, and Bernice Lindquist will write the minutes of the meetings. The Girls' associa¬tion has to have capable leaders, and these girls can't help but fill the positions well. We are proud of them.—Helen Parmley. SUGGESTION OFFERED Dear Editor of the School Notes: I am hoping it is within your power to converse with the of"lls! in charge of and sponsoring these projects to be displayed in our class rooms in the very near future. Judging from some of the material put out by our students last year, some of the projects were a work of art and worthy of honorable men¬tion at least. As long as these are required each year, why not make it interesting to the students by offering some sort of award? Nothing expensive would be necessary. The display would be more attractive, and the stu¬dents would feel that their efforts were not in vain. Athletics are a credit to our school, but some of our other works are just as honorary and the stu¬dents who devote their souls to these artistic projects should not be left; out when it comes to awards. I therefore suggest that Project! day be handled as a contest in each department, and that the faculty or some other organization choose some method of rewarding these worthy students. I know it is proper to sign one's name to any manuscript, but I think I voice the desires of so many stu-dents that it will not be necessary in this case. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please tell me when the yearbooks are going to be distribut¬ed?—A Junior. Dear Junior : They will be given to the seventh period Tuesday, the 24th of May. — Aunt Jane. Two Bands May Be Formed at School Trained Players Will Be Available From Four Junior Highs Ogden High School Notes. Virginia Hunter, Editor. After his inspection of the R. O. T. C. unit of the Ogden High school, Col. Jerome G. Pillow reported to western army headquarters in San Francisco that the cadet band here is too large in comparison with the unit, and that it had not been suf¬ficiently instructed in the R. O. T. C. manual. To correct this condition the school is recommending that the R. O. T. C. band be limited to twenty, and that a second band, a high school band, be organized next year. With students coming from four junior high school bands, this plan appears possible. Would it not be wonderful to have two high school bands? ADMITTANCE BY TICKET Attendance at high school com¬mencement services on Sunday and graduating exercises on Thursday morning of next week will be by ticket only. Since the class num¬bers practically 400 and there are only 1100 seats, each graduating student will be limited to two tick¬ets. RESPONSIBILITY Possibly among our students the common expression for not uphold¬ing responsibility would be "pass-ing the buck." Toward the end of the year we so often like to put our cares on others' shoulders. The chief difficulty in this lies in the fact that a task is usually not done well unless we do it ourselves. When anyone entrusts a piece of work to you, it is your duty to him and to yourself to accomplish what is asked. We are responsible for many things besides tasks. There are many little personal things that we owe it to ourselves and to our friends to maintain a high standard in our ideals. Be the sort of dependable person that, anyone can trust to do what is expected of you. ANNUAL EXHIBITS Friday will be a big day at Ogden High school. This will be the day when the parents visit school. All the rooms will have their projects, which the students have labored with so diligently, exhibited in or¬der that the parents might see their work. These things will be on ex¬hibit all day, and directly after school lets out the girls will enter¬tain the mothers at a tea. Every¬one is invited to come and see what kind of work the school has been doing. FAMOUS LAST WORDS Congress: After all, Forum, there is no club in O. H. S. we'd rather have win the Hendrick ' trophy than you.—HELEN LINDQUIST. YEARBOOK SUBSCRIPTIONS Well, another year has almost flown past, and with the last week of school comes that anticipated event, the publication of the annual Classicum. Students, if you haven't already subscribed for your num¬ber of the Classicum, see Mr. Kasius at once. The price is only $3 and the sooner your subscription is in the better, since yearbooks can only be assured to those who have paid up their subscriptions. —PARKE PETTERSON. PLAYING APPRECIATED That band from Price High school was excellent in every sense of the word. They entertained us royally the short time they were here by their fine playing. Most of us heard them play but many saw them march. The latter witnessed a spec¬tacle well worth seeing. In fact they marched as well as they played and we all know, how finely they _played. All in all, we sincerely enjoyed their abbreviated visit with us and ap¬ preciated it very much. We extend a hearty invitation to them and do hope they will accept it. —SID GORDON. CHATTER AND CHAFF We finally discovered Louise Pet¬erson's favorite flowers. Don't guess; we'll tell you. They are Sweet Williams. Poor pun, Harm, but even Shakespeare used 'em. Have you seen our new master¬piece in the art collection. "The Portrait of the Wreck," by De Bris. This "Virgie" Soderberg seems to be able to melt even the heart of a "Stone." From the way Hantz has been act¬ing lately he isn't so green after all. If you ever want any information from Bert Black, don't worry about offenses. He gets them all from "Tanner." Personally we don't think Holley was so hard on the eyes, but the evidence seems to be to the con-trary. It is rumored that the associate editors wrote this bunk, and in the period of it! (?) We are not re-sponsible for any casualties. AWARDS Of course you know that Friday is award day and the award assem¬bly will be held at eight-thirty that morning. The advisors of activities have sent in the names of students who are outstanding in student activities or department work. Council by a preferential vote elects not more than ten of the faculty then takes a vote and from these lists seven are chosen to receive awards. This year the seven will be Russel Stone, Clyde Bassett, Helen Lindquist, Ki¬yoka Oda, Fay Seager, Ma Lou Dobbs and Dell Tower. The senior boys of the basketball team will receive their awards but the juniors must wait until next year. None of the athletes will re¬ceive other rewards because there is to be one award to as many stu-dents as possible. The Standard-Examiner, Colonial Dames, also D. A. R. and other awards will be given Friday. —JEANETTE JOHNSON. |
