Travel Urge Felt As Summer Approaches May 6, 1932 Full Appreciation of Home Often One Result of Touring Ogden High School Notes ELPHA MORSE, Editor As vacation time draws near 1 thoughts again turn to travel. It , seems that summer is the time to . get away from home. The seashore, , the mountains, Europe, the ranch, 1 yid the national parks are dis-missed in different homes. Where to c, what to do are the questions. Why not stay home? Maybe you re tired of home and want a ihange of scenery. Perhaps you yant a change of faces. That is flot a bad idea, if one has the' money. Nothing is nicer than travel or more tiresome. After one has , been away from home for a short time one appreciates it more when he returns. THE EDITOR. ORATORICAL WINNERS On Monday afternoon, the student fcody of Ogden high enjoyed an hour of splendid oratory by the eight contestants in the annual Lewis oratorical contest. Pour high schools; Weber, Davis, Box Elder and Ogden, were represented in the contest, sponsored by J. S. Lewis. The talks were well organized and effectively delivered and it was only after keen competition that the win¬ner was announced by Miss Babcock, authority on public speaking from the University of Utah. All of the orations were on different topics of current importance, which added, to the interest and pleased the stu¬dent audience. First prize was awarded to Miss Martha Holt of Davis high, who spoke on "Needed, a Second Wash-ington." Second place went to Box Elder and third to Davis, giving Davis the recognition as the winning school and consequently the Lewis cup. Ogden's two entries, Wilbur Monteith and William Alsup, spoke very well on the subjects. "Have We Pro¬gressed?" and "A Plea for Cancellation." and captured fourth and1" sixth places, respectively.

TWO PARTIES FORMED This week two unique organiza¬tions have been formed and have already begun strenuous work at Ogden high. They are unique in several ways. First, they have no advisors; second, their memberships are unlimited; third, no qualifica¬tions are necessary to join. These organizations were formed for opposite reasons and with op¬posite policies. In one we have such brilliant minds as Charles Woods and James Gibson, while among the leaders of the other are such noted orators as William Reeves, Bill Al¬sup, Russ Farr and Curtis Bybee. These organizations, as you've prob¬ably guessed, are the "B. T. party" and the "anti-B. T. league." Whether these parties are doing any good Is open for debate. Cer¬tainly their detriment to school peace and free conscience is un¬questionable. PARKE PETTERSON, j CONGRESS PROJECTS Projects, projects, projects. Of course, Congress couldn't do any¬thing about it, but we tried, anyway. Kiyoko Oda and Lois Smalley voiced O. H. S. sentiments "to a T" (the one in "project") by declaring they should be abolished, while Virginia Hunter and Marion Cheesman spoke in behalf of the minority favoring continuance, and that's a minority that Is a minority. No decision was given; it was hardly necessary. Now we have had words on the subject, all we want is action. All those in favor? Aye. Just as we thought. HELEN LINDQUIST, Reporter. PARADE PRACTICE Almost every morning during this week if you have been one of those early birds you have had the oppor¬tunity of seeing the girls of O. H. S. practice for the parade. It has been! a rare spectacle—not that they weren't good. Oh my no. Just ask any of the boys. But it is rather seldom that you see the girls on parade. And say! Do they look pretty. All dressed in white with red, white and blue ties. If you didn't see the parade you can be assured that you have missed a sight worth seeing. Say, the boys' inspec¬tion wasn't anything compared to what the girls can do when they get started. Of course, we don't like to brag— H. P. RANDOM REMARKS I wonder if I will ever do any¬thing that Susie Seventeen will com¬mend—no, I won't commit suicide. If somebody will just start a "Freddie Fifteen" column the notes will be complete—yeah, completely finished. Famous last words: Down, B. T. And about Hetzel's Ford I say: How long will it last? (Song title.) Harriet and Joe have had a fight —it's just like being married. Orte of my literary contemporaries goes around bragging, "J am the most conceited person you know." —Iszataf act. A quartet is Gayle Malin and three other fellows. CADETS PRAISED DY INSPECTOR FOR m WORK Crowd of Over Thousand Sees Company D Win Kanzler Cup Ogden High school cadets marched and counter marched, obliqued and pivoted over Ogden stadium field Wednesday in their annual inspec¬tion for the honor school rating. A crowd estimated at over 1000 wit¬nessed the inspection and maneu¬vering of the corps and the com¬petitions for the various cups. The competition was held in con¬junction with the annual inspection of the corps, which was conducted by Colonel Jerome G. Pillow of San Francisco.

DRILLING EXCELLENT After concluding his inspection Colonel Pillow highly complimented Captain Sparks, end Sergeants Ed. HolloWay and John Mayer, instruc¬tors, on the splendid appearance of the group. The drilling, he said, was excellent, and the boys were neat and well gotten up. The band was especially fine, he said, and the equipment of the entire unit in good shape. Colonel Pillow left later in the day for Logan to inspect the unit there. He is on a swing of inspection which will take him to 50 schools. The Ogden unit was the forty-third.

Com¬bat principles of the rifle squad was their next test. Their offensive operations including the attack, point of advance guard, flank guard, connecting group and as a part of the as'asult platoon were rated ex¬cellent, but their defensive work on outpost duty only received a rating I of good, which pulled the grade in 1 this subject down to 92. Musketry, excellent. FACILITIES VIEWED i The facilities of the school for R. O. T. C. work were next inspected with the following ratings: Drill grounds, poor; rifle range, poor; storage facilities, excellent; condi¬tion of equipment in storage, very i good (all excellent with the excep- 1 tion of a few gun slings not having sufficient oil); administration, ex¬cellent; paper work and progress of instruction charts, excellent; meth¬ods of instruction, excellent.

The American Legion cup which is awarded for best attendance, few¬est 1'ates and fewest in incomplete uniform with 25 per cent given for marching ability, was again won by the band. At the beginning of the marching for this cup, the band was leading company D by only 6-100ths of a point but picked up 2 more points when they went through their maneuvers on the field. The cup was presented to the band William Dean, as a representative of the American Legion. CORPS WILL MARCH The cadet corps will march in the Loyalty day parade Friday. Captain Sparks, U. S.
