Neatness Helpful In Striving for Success apr. 2 1932 Should Prevail In All School Work, Declares Student Editor OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Robert Hetzel, Editor Neatness is something that every- " one should practice. It certainly will not do anyone any harm, in fact, it will do worlds of good. A _ person who dresses neatly, writes neatly, and is neat in every respect is bound to have much more suc¬cess in life than a person who is untidy. Every bit of the school h work, no matter how important it is, c should be neat, and anyone who IS makes all his work look neat is re¬paid for his efforts in some way v or another. Practice neatness at all n times and you are bound to succeed, o —The Editor. BRIEF INSPECTION Uniforms cleaned and pressed, shoes shined, periods reversed, even necks and ears were washed, imag- ine that! Yes, this all happened on ti Tuesday, April 19. And say, were e: those cadets handsome (I'm not thinking of myself) out there on f( parade? Truly they were, evenSl though it's hard to believe. As you F have probably guessed, the cause of C all this unusual preparation was in- "' spection. It was the day on which j3 Major General Malin Craig, head of the Ninth corps area, had chosen to ri inspect the R. O. T. C. unit of the f Ogden High school. It is the cus- torn of Major General Craig to make a an annual inspection throughout the states that comprise the Ninth corps area, to see whether the va-rious schools that have R. O. T. C. units are worthy and capable of carrying on drill work. All in all, n Major General Craig seemed pleased with the showing the cadets made, t: so in all probability O. H. S. will j- continue having an R. O. T. C. unit, j Was that a cheer I hear, or ? t: —Sid Gordon. TEACHERS' TURN Well, students, you've had your day, or I should say, it's the teachers' turn now. Yes, I'm speaking of e those report cards. I know we are s all waiting in suspense to hear the J final verdict. What it will be few of us know. But of course we are all expecting A's. Well now that's op¬timism for you. We have had six weeks to do all our work in and if you haven't it in by now it's too late. Now, students, let's start this next six weeks off right, bring up all our lessons, every day, and don't miss a single class.—Janet Garnor. HOUR DRAWS NEARER Seniors! Hear ye! Hear ye! In exactly five weeks, three days, and a few minutes you will be receiving a diploma. That is, if you are going to graduate. Of course you are the only one who can figure that out. You don't want to go to school another year, do you? And I don't want to, either. The only thing left to do is to go away from here with a smile on your face, even though your heart be heavy at the thought of the many fair damsels who will c have to suffer without your com¬pany. Graduation is what I would call t a sacrifice. We sacrifice what we j would like to continue with. Some- thing that is close to ourselves. No j need to tell you, you know. Well, anyway, the main idea of this is to have all your work in, es- t pecially in American history and j civics. For if you don't know it they are the only (Hies in school who can hold you back, since it is im- . perative to have a credit in Amer¬ican history, etc. When all your work is in you won't have a thing to worry about. Maybe.—Sammy Sixteen. SENIORS! The announcements must be or- I dered this week. They are ten cents apiece and every afternoon at three thirty the committee will be pre¬pared to take your order in Mrs. Newcomb's room. For any addi¬tional information see the president of the senior class, Russ Farr. ETCHINGS DISPLAYED "A thing of beauty is a joy for- _ ever," so why not buy one of the1 etchings on exhibit in Mrs. Irwin's room? Perhaps the depression has been too much for you, so bring your parents to see them. Ask them to come, anyway, whether they are interested in buying one or not. In a couple of weeks the etch¬ings will be sent to California. These are originals by prominent artists, so don't miss this opportu¬nity. It knocks but once, you know. —Helen Parmely. MUSICIANS RETURN Well, here we are home again. We had a wonderful time and we are chuck full of new ideas (ask Wilkie Newman). We didn't carry home all the sil¬ver cups, but we did bring home new views and a better knowledge of band work. To hear and see other bands told us that there are bands in the state besides our own. Congratulations to all the solo mem¬bers who were successful. The motto of our entire contest was "Not to defeat an opponent nor to win a prize but to pace each oth¬er on the road to excellency." If you are interested in more in¬formation mail fifty cents and I will send you the latest line of talk on Price. Such articles as: "A Night On a Day Coach," by Mrs. Irwin; "The Female Population of Price," by Lee Richards! "How to Develop 'It'," by Francis Burton; "The Cor¬rect Time to Retire," by Lyle or Lucille Lyman (either one). Further information will be furnished by the author on request. This offer closes the minute you finish this article.— Erroll Patrick. JUNIOR PROM Friday, April 22! What does that make you think of? Yes, of course, it is the junior prom. Don't forget this is the only dance of which the juniors have entire charge, and we juniors won't have any dance but the best. The price is 75 cents per couple. It will be held at the Berthana ballroom at eight thirty o'clock. Seniors have all received person¬al complimentary invitations. A tick¬et for a junior accompanying a senior will be 50 cents— Jeannette Johnson. SOME LAST WORDS Famous last words at Price: Who is Becca Tucka? Who is Gunda Lunda? Be back on time. If I thought you meant that, I'd clip you one. Go to sleep, Fay and Drew. Everybody's an officer. Bah! Bah! Big shot! If you want to know, ask: Lloyd about "Becca." Bego about "Bernice." Dave W. about "Gunda." Lanis about "Castle Gate." Burton about "Miss Gibbs." Jack W. about "Idaho Girls." The whole band about "Price." Lanis about the "Drummer." —"Critic." D COMPANY The mystery of the perfect drill, or how do they do it? D company won the company competition last week (in spite of the fact that Bob Junk acted as if he were thinking of other things) and performed well Tuesday for Major General Craig. The other companies are good, too. D company hasn't won everything this year, but they do pretty well in their small (catch on) way. What they haven't won they don't talk about—which proves that they are politicians too.—B. T. School Cadets Seek To Overcome Faults Intensive Drilling Held To Prepare For Review In May Apr. 21, 1932 Ogden High School Notes Virginia Hunter, Editor "Silent manual, ten times over'!'1 This and similar commands to the quantity of xy—0 are in store foi the cadets during the next twc weeks. The inspection Tuesday re¬vealed that concentration and hard work on several points are necessary if we are to repeat as honor schooi at the formal public review in May The R. O. T. C. proved to be weak in the manual of arms in genera and on "inspection arms" in par¬ticular. Perfect manipulation oi this movement by every man is nec¬essary, as it is a movement to which inspectors pay close attention and which they have excellent opportun¬ity to observe. 'C'mon, men, grab a hold of that gun!" On the whole, Major General Craig expressed approval of the unit, commending especially the neat appearance of most of the cadets.—Parke Patterson. BEING NATURAL One of the lost arts is that 'of being natural. Probably the first rule to remember is "Be honest with yourself." So many of us seem to think that to be agreeable and well liked we must gush and bear an ingratiating Smile. To do that sort of person justice, he is usually pop¬ular, but what a bow he turns out to be on more personal acquain¬tance. Those rare people who have cultivated the art of being pleasant without being afected are a pleas¬ure to the heart. THIS AND THAT Mr. Merrill is a baseball player— anyway he sure put on game on "ice." And to you, Ken Williams, I say: "Think nothing of it." "Springtime in the Rockies," and a young man's thoughts turn to snow shovels and skis. Maurine Shaw is a swell girl—to have on New Year's. The junior prom is tomorrow. Is there some senior girl with an invi¬tation and a car? I know a very eligible gigolo. Overheard in the hall: "It's too good to last. I am expecting to see some of Chuck Wood's stuff in the notes any time." Susie Seventeen: I sez Ray and I mean Ray!—B. (Aunt Bellah) T. H. O. N. Sound the loud timbrel!—and let yourself out to your most prodigious caapcity—and listen ! The House of Newcomb was called to order by President Bert Black. Margaret Thomas gave a talk on Soviet Russia, or rather a brief summary of a debate on it. Prom al viewpoints, Ralph Clark Is the perfect ladies' man! Just ask him. He is a firm believer in the Ladies' Home Journal, when giving talks and perhaps at other times.) Or, so he says! Elections for the next six weeks followed. The officers chosen were: Bill Allen, president; Jean Danvers, vice president; Lowell Rowse, secre¬tary; Virginia Peterson, reporter; Dee Wangsgard, parliamentarian. Well, since the time was short (I mean the periods), we adjourned for the day.—V. P. TRACK MEET The annual track and field meet at Provo will be held Saturday. Coach Kapple has entered several of his best track men and he thinks that they may bring more honor to the school. John Weir and Clyde Sneddon are expected to enter the decathlon. To be in this they take part in ten events and the prize is a gold watch. Good luck to you, fellows.—B. K. HONORING SENIORS Dear Aunt Jane: Is it true that there will be no senior reception this year? —A Senior. Dear Senior: Cheer up. There will be the usual senior reception. — — 1 —Aunt Jane. OFFICIALS MEET I The principals and supervisors convened at Lewis school Tuesday, where they were entertained, edu¬cated and fed. At eleven o'clock they were en¬tertained at an assembly at which Superintendent Hopkins gave a short address. This was followed by a luncheon, which was well attend¬ed and declared delicious. A. B. Foulger, M. S. Stone, Fred M. Nye, of the board of education; Architect L. S. Hodgson and Clerk Viola Clancy also attended. Mr. Merrill declared it to be a "very nice affair." NUMBERED DAYS ! The days are numbered, when we leave this scene of very many happy experiences, and go out into the world to make a place for our- ikslves in business and in society. The time has finally arrived when we are called upon to take the place of our parents and meet the prob¬lems that are sure to confront us on every side. The hand which fate will deal us depends a great deal on our own personal makeup. Some of us will be prominent business men, respected citizens, city officials, and hold other places of prominence, while others will fill our jails, cause our crime and become public ene¬mies. How terrible it would be to wake up and find yourself among the latter group; it is terrible, but it is avoidable. Remember! Life is a mighty stage, and upon that stage, we all must play a part; God gave us all an equal chance, and the part you are going to play depends not upon fate, nor luck, nor destiny, but it depends upon you and how you enter the stage from the side¬line. It is your biggest and most important tryout, and the part you are going to receive will be granted according to the impression you make upon others—and yourself. Make the best of the few days that are left in school, leave a good im¬pression, make friends, lessen ene¬mies, and then after having left this place, carry on through life in much1 the same manner, and you will have gained just a bit more than the other fellow, in every re¬spect, through having learned to un¬derstand and appreciate the finer things of life.—R.
