Show Budget System for Pupils' Time Urged Mar. 30, 1932 Great Results Possible If Hours Carefully Spent Ogden High School Notes. Elpha Morse, Editor. There's a time for work And a time for play, !(Or so the wiseacres tell us) ! And although we play with a right ! good will, In work we are no less zealous. Are we? The twenty-four hours of a day, divided into three equal parts, gives us eight hours for work, eight hours for play and eight hours for sleep. We are in school six hours. Add¬ing the two extra hours of home work we all should do, the working hours are accounted for. How much can be accomplished if we do not fudge on that time by trying to make it play time. Great men and women have reached their goals by thus budget¬ing time. There is no doubt that we enjoy our play time more if we have earned it by giving our best efforts to our work time. Let's budget!—The Editor. CLASSICALIA In answer to many queries we are divulging this long-withheld knowl¬edge. The pageant will start prompt¬ly at nine o'clock. There will not be any dances before the procession. If you want to see this lovely work of art upon which Miss Mary Woolley and Miss Jessie Schofield as well as the participants have worked so hard, be at the Berthana ballroom j at nine o'clock, prepared for one 1 j great time! AT MOUND FORT Mr. Merrill and Mrs. Irwin at¬tended a luncheon at Mound Fort Wednesday in honor of the super-intendents, principals and supervis¬ors of the Ogden City schools and the board of education. Miss June Peirce and Miss Evelyn Turner, principal and assistant prin¬cipal of North Junior and Mound Fort school, were the hostesses and the luncheon was supervised by Miss Eleanor Turner, an alumnus of O. H. S. and a niece of Mrs. Newcomb, and now a teacher of home eco¬nomics at North Junior. The lunch¬eon was lovely. The guests visited the different rooms and found the art room most interesting. In this they had on display quite a few clever drawings. A musical program was given, at which Supt. W. Karl Hopkins gave a talk. The tenth graders will visit us in the near future. Well, juniors, then we can feel a little less unsophisti-cated.—Janet Garner. LETTER FROM IDAHO The following letter speaks for it¬self. In response to our Idaho friends we wish to say we enjoyed your visit exceedingly. You were worthy opponents. We are looking forward to another visit from you. "Dear Mr. Merrill: "May I, on behalf of our basket¬ball boys, the coach and myself, ex¬press to you and your community our appreciation of the fine hospi¬tality extended to us while in your city the last week-end. Accommo-dations could not have been better. "The boys noticed the absence of any 'razzing' during the games and also the fact that good plays were cheered regardless of which team made them. We compliment you upon the fine sportsmanship dis-played. "Assuring you we enjoyed our short visit to Ogden, regardless of the one-sided results of the games, I am, "Very sincerely, "LEROY W. BEAM, "Principal Idaho Falls Senior High School." VISITORS FROM LOGAN On Monday morning, Ogden High school welcomed into its midst a group of students from Logan High school. The students from Logan were delegated to investigate the club situation and the government of Ogden High school. The delega¬tion included: Thain Carlisle, Leo Bateson, Ethel Lundahl, Robert Har-rison, Nina Shepard, Roberta Smith, Blanch Cardon and Margaret Farnesheck; L. W. Passey and Evan Murrey, advisors. The first part of the morning was spent in discussing and analyzing school clubs and government. Pres-ident Stone, Secretary Reeve, Senior Class President Farr and Mrs. Irwin answered all questions brought forth by the delegation. The latter part of the morning was spent in escorting the students through the school. The library, the I music class and the R. O. T. C. rooms were included in the tour. Special interest was shown in re¬gard to the cadet corps. Informa¬tion was submitted to the delega¬tion as to how they might install a drill unit at Logan High school. Before leaving,, the visitors extend¬ed invitations to O. H. S. student body officers to come up and see the Logan High school. The inter- jesting thing about the meeting was the friendly and genial attitude that was expressed by the students from up-state toward O. H. S. After leaving O. H. S., the delega¬tion traveled south to Salt Lake City, where they were to visit West, South and East High schools. Come again, Logan! CARPE DIEM Carpe Diem's annual Easter breakfast proved as successful as we had j hoped. We assembled Saturday evening at seven-thirty, whereupon we pro¬ceeded to the theatre, thence to the home of Mildred Bennett, where ar¬rangements were made for sleeping accommodations. Early Sunday morning we arose and went to church, after which we proceeded to the home of Elaine Evans, where a delightful breakfast was served. All in all, this Easter will prob¬ably be a long remembered one for I all of us, including our rabbit mas¬cot, "Carpee D." j Clubs! Clubs! Everyone likes about them lately. What we want is ;interest; by that we don't mean con¬tinual parties, but we wish the clubs would send their reports at least once a month to Mrs. Irwin, the edi¬tors, or the note box. Let the school know you exist. Yes, it becomes boring to read continual formal notes, but the person who is report¬er of the club ought to be able to write a clever note for the box. Come! Let us hear from the vari¬ous clubs. Let us know they are up and doing.—Jeannette Johnson. CONGRESS BRIEF Congress came to order, despite' Virginia's spring fever, in Mr. Rob¬ins' room. (a) We hope Mrs. Newcomb's room did not feel slighted, but the ' urge to follow the path of least re-sistance. As all know who have studied jthe correct order of business at a meeting, the roll call, minutes, ex-cuses, committee reports, old and new business followed next. Then came one of Congress' semi-frequent visits to Forum—for business only. We bore up under the ordeal nobly and came out of the danger zone with but a few wounds to our dignity. The dreaded task was over, with the result that the Congress- Forum debate was postponed a week and the question changed to that cussing and discussing capitalism and socialism. Congress adjourned. (a) Forum must have breathed a sigh of relief.—Helen Lindquist, Re¬porter. Warning Sounded On Spring Fever's Lure Mar. 31, 1932 Student Editor Calls For Strong Resistance To Temptation Ogden High School Notes Robert Hetzel, Editor "Why comes temptation but to be met and mastered and trampled be¬neath our feet and thus become pedestals of triumph. "Yield not to temptation for yield¬ing is sin."—An Englishman. From the above quotation the fact is deduced that temptation is some¬thing that is necessary in life to test the character and stability of a per¬son. There are many, many forms of temptation in the world, and all of them, more or less, result in some sort of evil. When people are tempt¬ed to do things that they really know they shouldn't, much can be told about their will power by whe¬ther they yield to temptation or not. Students, when you are tempted to forget about studying because of spring fever, "Yield not to tempta¬tion for yielding is sin." —The Editor. INDIAN FOOTBALL The gym classes have completed the basketball tournament and tire now starting Indian football. This game is played like baseball except that the feet take the place of the bat, and you get four strikes be- fora you are counted "out."—Jeanette Johnson. EXCELLENT BAND Students: We should be proud of our band—"The greatest band in (the history of the school." I quote my dear friend, Mr. Merrill. How many of you have been told how dumb you are? How many can stand to hear all of those slams twenty times a day? How many would stick and be back the next morning with a big smile? Sixty of these tnoroughbred fellows can be found in our band. Isn't that worth support?—Errol Patrick. DEBATING EXPANDS Debating in the junior highs has fast increased in prominence until now it ranks among the leading ac-tivities of the schools. Back of all this is the Forum club of Ogden high which sponsors this forensic activity among the four junior high schools, Central, Lewis, Washington and North. These schools debate among themselves and the competi¬tion is exceptionally keen because to the winner Forum presents an¬nually a silver cup. To obtain per¬manent possession of the trophy a school must win it three times. The cup is now in the possession of Lew¬is, who if they win this year will retain it permanently. Also if Wash¬ington wins this year they will be¬come permanent possessors. — Sid Gordon. THE LAST CALL Get Classicalia Conscious! This has been the slogan, expressed in every sense of the word, for weeks. Are there yet some who have not entered into the spirit of the event and become Classicalia Conscious? If not, it's about time. Last Tuesday noon the m'ain hall iwas the scene of soapbox campaign speeches given by any member of the congregation so desiring to stretch his vocal chords and deliver his inspiring oration to the en-grossed audience, to convince them to vote for his candidate for Classicalia, queen. f Voting took place on Wednesday for all students who had purchased tickets for this gala event. The queen was selected through the dis¬cretion of these students. Which of these lovely girls was chosen to reign supreme at the one and only school carnival? Which was left to the position of maid of honor? The best way to find out is to purchase a ticket if you haven't one already (there are plenty of ticket agents waiting to assail you and try their salesmanship) and attend the Clas¬sicalia. Wear a costume and ap¬propriate the occasion. By all means get Classicali'a Conscious!—Fay Car¬don. ANNOUNCEMENT! The Classicalia of Ogden High school, the Carnival dance of the year in which the queen is chosen, will be held this coming Friday, April 1, at the Berthana ballroom. The queen's pageant will start promptly at nine o'clock. No dances will be played before this pageant, and everyone that wishes to see this is advised to be there a little before nine. The price of admission will be fifty cents for each person. The pageant fclone is well worth the price of admission, so come and en¬joy the best dance of the year. ONE AND ONLY Who will it be? One student from Ogden High school will receive a scholarship to the University of Southern California. He or she must hold a place on the highest tenth of his class for the first seven semesters of a four- year secondary school program, must receive all data in support of the candidacy of him from the principal of the school, and must meet fully the entrance requirements of the University of Southern California. This should all be filed by April 10, 1932. Are you interested?—Janet' Fife. |
