Only Week Remains Before Band Event Ogden Unit One of 32 That Will Compete In Carbon County Contests Ogden High School Notes Virginia Hunter, Editor On Thursday, April 14, the Og¬den High school band leaves for Price, Carbon county, for the big contest you've been hearing about. Yea, bo! and is it a contest? Fea¬turing 32 bands from all over Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado, it is the largest contest of its kind ever staged in the west. Approxi-mately 1200 band students will gath¬er in Price for the event. Our band will compete in the Class A divi-sion, composed of bands represent¬ing schools of over 600 students. The big works start Friday morn¬ing, April 15, with the grand pa¬rade and soloist contest, in which about 200 soloists will take part. A Pathe newsreel view of the parade will be taken, to be shown in the movie theatres. The five judges of the contest are experienced band men. Two of them, from Fort Douglas, will judge the marching. The others are from Salt Lake City, Provo and the University of Oklahoma. The winners of this contest will bo eligible to compete in the na¬tional contest in Chicago in 1933, there being no national contest this year. —Parke Petterson. QUICK THINKING Do you know the value of band work? To be a good member you must be a fast thinker. I'll prove my point. There are certain things a band member must think about when he picks up a horn and plays one note, i 1. He must know the finger- ling or the proper positions to make a certain note. ; 2. He must know the exact lip movement for that certain note. He must read the music—find out what the note is. He must play the note in proper time. He must know the proper ex¬pressions to put into that note. All of this and more must be done in less than a second. Band members do it. It doesn't look quite so simple, does it? It isn't. Try it some time. How fast can you think? —Errol Patrick. BORROWING How annoying are those frequent souls who are always after some paper, a pen, or a book. It seems to be the fashion in our midst to do a little permanent borrowing. It may seem to be a good idea if you can get away with it, but usu¬ally more enemies can be made this way than you would suppose. A weakness of some people is to bor¬row things of a personal nature, compacts and combs, and it is not only disagreeable but unsanitary as well. You gain very little by de-pending upon others for all your working equipment. —The Editor. SOME SUGGESTIONS Suggestions by which a girl may judge the worth of a boy: Does he stand well with other boys? Is he courteous to your mother? Has he a good mother and a kind father? Is he good-natured when others are cross? Is he kind with younger boys and girls, particularly in his own fam¬ily? Is he interested in talking about anybody but himself? Have you ever heard him say any¬thing pleasant about anyone else? Who pays for his clothes? Does he know the value of a dollar from having earned one? Does he always talk to you as if you were somewhat foolish, or as if he believed you knew something? After he has left you, do you feel as if you were more of a woman or less? Try these on your last (boy) man Suggestions by which a boy may judge the worth of a girl: How well does she look before breakfast? Can she cook anything but fudge? Can she walk a mile without be¬ing tired out? How does her little sister like her? Does she make life easier for her mother? How much money does it take to make her pleasant? Did you ever hear her praise an¬other girl who was pretty? After you have left her, do you feel as if you were more of a man or less. Give the woman (girl) the test. ON ANNOUNCEMENTS There are ten different types of graduation announcement cards in the showcase. These are all num-bered and have the prices on them. All seniors are urged to pay special attention to these, because there will be a senior class meeting Fri¬day to decide which one will be lused this year. General Craig Will Visit Ogden School Army Commander Will Be Here Short Time On April 19 Ogden High School Notes Elpha Morse, Editor On the nineteenth of April, Major ; General Malin Craig, commander of the army's ninth corps area, in-cluding the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, will honor our ancient edifice with ; a visit. He arrives at nine-fifty ' to stay until ten-thirty. Forty ( minutes of his pleasant society , ought to be sufficient to get ra- ther well acquainted. His call will' be more social than otherwise. (Do ( I hear a sound of relief?). He - wants to meet Mr. Merrill which opportunity has been arranged, and ( the cadet officers, which no doubt will also be arranged. Also he might want to give the boys a good " look. So be prepared! He will be acompanied by the assistant chief of the staff G-3.—M. J. W. DIGNITY One quality that youth can sel- 1 dom lay claim to is dignity. It seems 1 to be found more frequently in matured individuals. Around school 1 most of use are rather boisterous. _ How much better it would be if we could gain poise and dignity. The only drawback would be that the faculty would never recover from the shock.—The Editor. LETTER RECEIVED A letter has been received from Mayor Ora Bundy in appreciation i of the games played by our boys for the relief fund of Ogden city. Addressed to Mr. Merrill, it reads: "We are mighty proud of our Og¬den High school, and the fine bas¬ketball team that paid into the Ogden relief fund $102.30. Will you kindly thank them for me and ac¬cept our congratulations. 'Cham¬pions' means considerable nowadays, and may you continue to win, not only in basketball, but all that you may attempt by hard work and ef¬fort. "May we ever be ready to assist you in your fine undertakings." PLEASANT SESSION Dear Alumnae: The best meeting Congress ever had last year would meet some stiff competition in the meeting held last Monday evening at Virginia's. My supply of adjectives couldn't do it justice (excuse the triteness). Congress came to order with Vir¬ginia presiding (or something) be¬hind a card table. The club should be decorated (or allowed to keep the Hendricks' trophy another year) for the speed with which business was "ayed" and "nayed." Then came a dress rehearsal of! Congress' lines in the Congress-i Forum' play (mostly work) the ac-; tors being Ann Pingree, Edna Wil¬liams, Marybeth Early, and I-bet- you-can't-guess-whom. And now we come to the best part of it all: Ice cream and cookies a la reminiscences and oh, I-was-so- scared stories. You understand, don't you, why Congress adjourned at the shocking hour of nine-thirty and something? Well, we'll see you at the ban¬quet. I thank you (a Congress habit). —Helen Lindquist, reporter. FOR LOCKERS, ALSO The past several weeks have been known as "clean-up season." Gut¬ters and roadways have been loaded to capacity with all sorts of old rubbish extracted from cellars, at¬tics, garages, yardis, and other places. This is an excellent idea. Why I not start a "clean-up week" on your locker? Extract all the old rubbish that has collected during the long winter months. Clean 'em out and make 'em shine. It won't take long, and the janitors will be glad to provide extra conveyances for this noble purpose—Fay Cardon JUNIOR PROM Now that the Classicalia is safely I tucked away, the junior prom looms iinto view. This dance is sponsored by the so-called insignificant jun¬iors and will be held in the Berthana ballroom April 22. All the seniors will receive in¬vitations to the prom but thesS are not transferable. Therefore all jun¬iors and outsiders will be required to purchase tickets. Get your dates and trade your dances now. There are only two weeks left.—B. W. K. And Shakespeare said of Kasius: "He has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much."—L. B.
