Show Punctuality Among Greatest of Virtues School Could Be Changed By Exercising Habit of Promptness OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Elpha Morse, Editor Sermons and speeches are so often made on the subject of puncutlaity that it is rather tire¬some to have to go through it again, J but punctuality is a major premise of success. It really would help greatly if every student would make an effort to be punctual. Classes would be too good to be true. Teachers would faint and Mr. Mer¬rill could spend his dollar instead of tapping it on glass doors. ASSEMBLY REPORT The assembly of Friday, April 14, was under the direction of the ju¬nior class. Frank Rounds, one of our famous alumni, rendered sev¬eral delightful selections on the pi¬ano. Ruth McGinnis, who has a lead in the opera, sang. Gus Wright, whom we have heard and enjoyed before, gave us an enlightening talk on developing personality. We thank the junior class for a most enjoyable forty-five minutes. TENNIS SERIES Girls—Here's something for you. We are going to start a tennis tour¬nament for all girls in the school. Please sign up with Miss Schofield or Hermese Broadbent. The girls' club can have a tennis tournament, too. They can have a doubles team and a single represen-tative. They sign up with Miss Schofield or Hermese Broadbent also. Sign up 'as soon as possible so that we can get started.—B. D. ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics club held its bi-weekly meeting Thursday, April 14 at three fifty-five p. m., in room 100. Our project for the , month of April was beautifying of [our homes and gardens. Eighty- eight percent of the members re¬ported on work already done. This project is to be carried on until the late autumn. The business meeting was followed by a lecture and demonstration on the preservation of the essential ele¬ments in the preparation of food, which was given by Mr. McFarland. The members of the Home Econom¬ics club then demonstrated their ap¬preciation of a perfectly cooked dinner and well served. The menu consisted of meat loaf, riced pota¬toes, carrots, apple sauce, ficgo, and what a pudding, the best ever made by man and only equalled by the sauce. I think you would like the recipe.—Elizabeth Woolley, repor¬ter. FAMOUS SAYINGS Lowell Lane and Max Hickman, Inc.—"Boy! Am I making a hit with Elaine!" (Can you imagine those guys in "It's tough to be famous?") Mildred Larson—"Aw, quit your kidding, honest?" Lulu Hodgson—"And do you know how I got these dimples?" Harriet Robinson—"Don't keep me in the dark, what is it?" Hubby Lynch—"Oh, yeah! Tain't so!" Ellen Kalgren—"Honest, you're the! first person I've told this to." Russell Stone—"As representative of the student body, I wish to thank those who have participated on the program. Assembly adjourned." Bob Rushmer—"You cunning lit¬tle thing." Mrs. Wade—"Put that gum in the basket." Mr. Merrill—"I want to see the following boys and girls " School Compliments Solo Event Winners April 19, 1932 Some Band Members Feel Marching Should Have Brought Award (Ogden High School Notes) ELPHA MORSE, Editor Yes, 'tis quite true that the O. H. S. band received no honors at the contest at Price. Of course, we know that they attempted real well but probably other bands were just a little better. Some members of the band felt they should have re¬ceived an honor for marching (but such a feeling is quite natural), and they wouldn't have felt so if they had not known they hgd done their best. We offer congratulations to Mack Cook who won first place in the trombone contest, Hazel Beishline who was first in the French horn event, Francis Burton, second in drums, and Drew Peterson, second in saxophone, class A. THRIFT In these days of depression most of us have learned the meaning of thrift to its fullest extent. I am sorry; I forgot that depression was a forbidden word. Look at Mellon, Rockefeller, Ford and the many oth¬ers who are very comfortably situ¬ated. How they must have saved to have reached such a peak of suc¬cess. On the other hand there are some famous actors who are now bank¬rupt. At some time they received enormous salaries, and had they been less extravagant they would probably have enough of the little hard, round, silver coins to live comfortably in their old age. Instead many of them are in dire need. Thii is not an advertisement for their hospitals or for their fund, but it goes to show that thrift is most im-portant to one's later life. THE EDITOR. PET PROS AND CONS Pros: Red and white uniforms, band music, and incidentally, the boys that go with them. Ogden's part in the University of Utah band (and we're not a bit conceited, either; we just appreciate good things) . The world series on our own school turf, even if I do get befreckled watching Ogden high's Babe Ruths. Gus Wright's "posltivity." If he were a girl, we'd call it "it." Cons: Anybody who hasn't spring fe¬ver, but I don't think there is any such animal. Council, which is almost as bad as a club meeting. Speakers with a bing-bing deliv¬ery so realistic that I have to pinch myself to find out I'm not listening to a talkie of the world war. Bashful, quiet, retiring people like a couple of the H. L.'s and B. T.'s, who never resort to sarcasm and gossip. SUSIE SEVENTEEN. TRACK AND FIELD On Friday the Tiger track and field team journeyed to Kaysville for the first track contest of the year, , triangular meet against Da¬vis and Weber. Although the meet went to Davis, Ogden came in a good second with 42 points, and in taking three first places, the Tiger squad showed good prospects for success in future meets. Ed Olson took first place in the 220 yard dash, and "Babe" Hen¬dricks won out in the javelin throw. The half-mile relay team also came through in their event. On Saturday, April 23, the team will go to Provo for the annual meet staged there by the B. Y. university. Good work, team. We're with you. PARKE PETTERSON. RANDOM REFERENCES B. T. is trying to write a novel which is too deep for anyone but himself to understand. Oh, well, we all have our first attempts. ' HoLo believes that 93 per cent of the girls in high school are a little off. Where does he get his authority? Maurine Shaw's arms look like blister copper ought to (or perhaps you don't take chemistry). Anyway, Irvan passed in a fine chemistry test —almost. That was pretty lipstick that Joe and Dale had on their collars Sat¬urday night. I wonder if that Banks prodigy will be a banker. From his first attempts it doesn't look very en¬couraging. And by the way, don't forget to turn your bright and shining faces toward Mrs. Irwin's room to see the art exhibit. H. P. LOYALTY White and orange. Do you like the combination? Attractive, n'est ce pas? It won't be long until you can wear it, girls. Girls' loyalty parade is soon to arrive. Are you ready for it? Gather your thoughts and com¬pare your ties for color and then —march. JANET FIFE. NOW WE KNOW John: What can make more noise than Elaine Evans and Helen Tan¬ner? Ike: Two other Carpe women. Louise Peterson should be careful that she doesn't "Harm" Williams. Russ Stone thinks it's too bad that these "hard times" had to come right in the middle of the depres-sion. Did you ever stop to think what would happen if Holly Arthur were to marry Floyd Gibbons? |
