Courtesy Declared Valuable Attribute Apr. 1, 1932 Termed Necessary If One Expects To Get Any¬where In World (Ogden High School Notes) VIRGINIA HUNTER, Editor It's mighty fine to have company clothes to wear on special occasions, but it is still finer to have every day manners that are so good they don't have to be changed when you're en¬tertaining company. Courtesy is one of the biggest items in the elements that go to make up a successful per¬son. If one expects to get anywhere in the world he must learn one thing —courstesy is necessary. THE EDITOR. VISITOR FROM B. Y. U. We were greatly honored today in having with us Mr. Lambert, direc¬tor of personnel at the Brigham Young university. He came to in¬spect our school system, and com¬pliment us on the character of the students we have attending the B. Y. U. We were very happy to have him here. Come again, Mr. Lam-bert. NO SLACKING Well, how are you feeling today? The band feels great, in spite of the fact that a four hour Wednesday practice is well behind. How is that for work? What would you think of a band member who had all the advantages for music and a great trip to Price and was a bum? Not good enough to grasp the opportunity. Let's pre¬tend he played a bass. He was al-ways late and most of the time was spent other places than band. How far would he get? How far would the band get? That is exactly the type of mem¬bers our band doesn't care to have. We are working hard and bums are not allowed. Boost the band. O. K., Price. ERROL PATRICK. SPEAKING CONTEST The assemblage waited in squirm¬ing expectancy, some with bated breath, others with excited whis-pers, and a very few in silence. The judges must be having a hard time of it, that they should deliberate for such tons of time. The click of footsteps was heard, Frank Francis continued with his highly commend¬able extemporaneous address, while a few men conferred together on the front seats. Mr. Francis' speech was terminated in a round of hearty applause; then every eye was fo-cused on Mr. Muir from Davis coun¬ty. As is the custom of man, he spoke appraisingly of all the really splen¬did orations while the student body sat with gripped fingers and sus¬pended breath. At last it came. Maico White from Davis county had won the contest. She deserved it, too. Her main oration on "Alexan¬der Hamilton and the Constitution" was exceptionally well prepared and delivered; but her extemporaneous speech was a marvel—truly a work of art. Henry Pearson from Box Elder was also well awarded. His talk on "The Assurance the Constitution Gives Us" was rendered with skill and ! showed fine preparation. Miss White and Mr. Pearson were so I evenly tied that both are to be en- , tered from, this division. ( ! Lucybeth Cardon from Logan , speaking on "The Constitution—the : Chart in the Helmsman's Hands," Jacob Fuhriman from South Cache speaking on "The Constitution as a Guarantee of the Liberty of the In¬dividual," and last but certainly not 1 least, Laurence Sommerville speak- : ing on "Daniel Webster—Defender! r of the Constitution," showed such : fine work and finesse in dealing with their subjects,that it would be quite . useless to elaborate on the theme. All that can be added is: We hope you receive the trip to Europe, win¬ners. The best of luck and con-gratulations. M. J. W. SENIORS You are being checked—believe it or not—or like it or not. Marks, credits—are they all as they should be? Now is the time for all good se¬niors to come to the rescue of their grades. Will you be on the graduation list? JANET FIFE. |
