Show Ogden High Selects Next Year's Leaders May 10, 1932 Final Results Announced In Student Body Contest Ogden High School Notes VIRGINIA HUNTER, Editor The final balloting of the elec- I tion of student body officers was ( H held Monday. The returns were 1 posted on the bulletin board at one I : o'clock, and they were well received ( by the students. Dale Anderson I won over Grant Goddard for president; Dorothy Paine won over Hazel Lewis for vice president, and Wendell Fowler won over William Thompson for secretary. These are a all good selections and they will ' I work hard for the school. TO THE JUNIORS Believe it or not, just eleven more : days will find us once most cast i into the class of vacation. Many of our most illustrious students will be making this departure never to cross the threshold of this institu-tion of higher learning again. Upon the shoulders of the present juniors will fall the burden of carrying on. Under the leadership of such fine officers we know that you will con¬tinue to build the strong structure of student life, and we hope, we are confident, that next year will bring even more success to Ogden high. Though many of us will not be bodily present next year, our hearts are with you wishing you the happiest and most successful year of all. AN UNTIMELY DEATH We, the students and faculty ofi: Ogden high school, extend our deepest sympathy to the Corry family for their recent bereavement. It seems a great pity that the life of such a brilliant individual should be snuffed out just when it was beginning to blossom into the flow¬er of young manhood. Keith did not live long but he lived beautifully and well. He made friends readily and was' admired equally well by students and teach¬ers. To know him was to love him. We mourn not for Keith, for, whatever else we may believe, we know that all is well with him. We mourn with his mother, his broth¬ers, and sisters, for we feel that we have lost one of earth's choicest young men. We hope the beauty of his char¬acter and life will be a perpetual benediction to his blessed memory. PET PROS AND CONS Pros: All teachers not in favor of proj¬ects. Irregularity of classes during boys' week. The best "all school" campaigner, Roland's friend. All candidates would do well to have a friend like him. Cons: Ogden high's dirt diggers, myself [included. That's honesty for you. I I'm proud of you, Susie. (That's 1 conceit.) Sammie Sixteen, who thinks that an idea must be used twice to make it good enough for the notes. Two and two make four; he thinks one multiplied by two makes two good ideas; I think one idea subtracted from the same idea leaves nothing (for him, of course). In other words, I resent it.

There are Just about two weeks of " _sctool left now, and they axe not the easiest ones. Around this time of year some people gradually for¬get about lessons 'and think that it does not make any difference. The last weeks of school are really the most important because there are so many really necessary things that come up that not even the bright¬est student can neglect any of his lessons. When a student begins to forget his lessons, he does not real¬ize that he is very seriously crip¬pling himself. Seniors, especially, should not make a practice of this, because slightest slip upon their part might mean that they will not be graduated—The Editor GIRLS' ASSEMBLY Tuesday morning the Girls' as¬sociation was entertained at an as¬sembly sponsored by the junior girls. Ann Pingree, as representative of the juniors, was in charge of the program which was as follows: Trio, Eleanor McParland, Ruth McGinnis, Helen Sessions; reading from "Gentle Julia," by Booth Tarkington, Marjory Wood; piano solo, "Polonaise," Betty Gunnell; vocal solo, Edith Bush; tap dance, Fran¬ces Mortenson; "Vocations for Girls," and interesting discussion of interest to all girls, given by Mrs. Raymond. Nominations for next year's officers was then held, and the following girls were selected as candidates: Hazel Lewis, Bernice Lindquist, Mary June Lamoreaux, Ann Pingree, Helen Sessions, Mar-jory Wood. On Monday Mrs. Irwin and Mr. Merrill were guests at Washington Junior High school. After visiting the teachers and classrooms they were entertained at a luncheon and musical program. Mrs. Irwin said it was lovely, and Mr. Merrill was pleased, so it must have been good. —H. P. SYMPATHY OFFERED The Ogden High school offers its deepest sympathy to Mr. Condie upon the death of his father. Mr. Condie has left for Preston, where the funeral will be held. LECTURE PRESENTED A special assembly was held this morning, during which the students of Ogden High received a rare treat in the form of a lecture by Major O H. Schoof. Major Schoof, six¬ ty-three years of age, is a member of the Canadian mounted police and fish, game and fire guardians for Alberta and British Columbia. In 1926 Major Schoof addressed the student body of Ogden High, at which time he thrilled his listeners with stories of his experiences in Africa and other parts of the world. He also exhibited a marvelous col- i lection of nature specimens, to I which he has since added many more interesting items of natural life from all parts of the world. Major Schoof's vast field of ex¬perience and his great personality J make him a very interesting speak- J er.—Parke Petterson. Agitated Students Trying Candy Cure ; Lollipop Fad Breaks Out: Among Scholars of High School OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Elpha Morse, Editor j There seems to be an abundance ' of suckers around our dear Alma Mater lately. Not fishes, but the 1 candy variety. You know the kind ' we used to purchase when we were i , kids, those that come on sticks, were : advertised as "all day suckers" and priced from lc to 5c exclusively. 1 Whether the mania for this par- i ticular candy confection is due to: ; economic difficulty, I confess I do not know. Yet I have an idea what the reason for this is. Now when we were extremely' . small specimens of humanity, we 3 were given pacifiers whenever we 1 I became agitated, to soothe our feel- - jings. There is such a thing as second childhood, you know, and I be- lieve that those students who eat , suckers are suffering from this malady. So of course when they be- [ come agitated they naturally revert ; to their practically forgotten means of relieving their feelings, pacifiers. As of course they cannot use the kind they did years ago, and thus had to seek something else and found what they wanted in the old "all day sucker." P. S—I never did like this sort of candy.—Sid Gordon. COUNCIL REPORT Meeting was called to order by President Stone, the minutes read and approved. The following clubs were granted parties Congress, May 19; I-Wannan-O, May 13; We 13, and Zeta Phi Xi, May 14. Alpha Sigma's party was changed from May 21 to 20. Appropriation was made for a floral piece to represent the entire student body for Keith Corry, a for-mer student body president of our school, who lost his life in an ac¬cident recently. A change in constitution was voted concerning the assistant editors of the quarterly and annual Classicums. Watch the bulletin boards for further information. New club regulations also are to be made. Three members from each club will be chosen to discuss with Mrs. Irwin concerning the regula¬tions. Next week a report is to be given on the senior plays. Five candidates were chosen as a committee for the block O. Two weeks from last Tuesday we will receive the long- Waited for yearbooks.—M. F. C. SENIORS Commencement time is here again, but this time the outlook is much different. Vaguely we have looked forward to graduation, but now that it is so near it hardly seems pos¬sible. So soon we are to be thrown out on our own resources, in the' words of our elders. It is a thrill¬ing experience that can only hap¬pen once, so let us make the most of it. INTERESTING AFFAIR "Gee, wasn't that the keenest as¬sembly? I think it's the best we've had all year, etc., etc., etc." These phrases surely were overworked Wednesday after hearing Major Schoof of Holland, Germany, Canada, Africa, Mexico, etc., etc., talk in assembly. Major Schoof, a scout, .and one of the best swordsmen in jthe world, talked about his experi¬ences as a cowboy, ranger, soldier, rand everything imaginable. He has served under four flags and we have it on good authority that the United States flag is worth all the others put together. After giving a thrill¬ing sword exhibition which sent some of the girls on the front row! into a panic, he showed us skins of animals he had killed. Different! kinds of swords were shown, "head-j ache makers," shields, and robes made of animal skins sewed togeth¬er by African girls. And say, were some of the fellows squelched when they learned how much a boy in Africa, would sell for, as compared to a girl? Soldiers of all nations were represented by some of our own handsome heroes of O. H. S. when they dressed up in costumes provided by Major Schoof, and were they a riot? Then we lived through a war in Rhodesia during which 500 British were victorious over 7000 savages. After Major Schoof ex¬tended an invitation to Mr. Merrill to come and shoot grizzlies with him sometime, assembly adjourned. (I don't believe he accepted the invi¬tation.)—Helen Parmley. LOST A yellow purse was lost at school Monday night. If you have found it f please return it to the office. If on account of the depression you do not want to return all, put the glasses in it and leave on locker 276. They are valuable only to the owner. Thank you! |
