THE CLASSICALIA The Classicalia was a gala affair Cl graced by the beauty, grace, and winsomeness of the queen, Ruth Hawkins. It was difficult to imag- , ine who would be the most popu- larly liked girl in O. H. S. with two p such charming girls to choose be- tween. Elaine Evans, maid of honor to her majesty the queen,! was her usual charming self. The pageant Was colorful and effective f; due to the comjoint labor of Miss k Jessie Schofield and Miss Mary Woolley, who directed it. P Confetti, balloons, noise makers, 1 soda water, pie, ice cream and gambling games lent themselves to mak- ing the evening one to be long re- membered. PRICE OF GRADUATION Many telephone calls have been u received at the office recently from s parents of students of O. H. S. in¬quiring about graduation. Does one pay for his diploma? Is it compul¬sory to have a certain type of dress r' or suit? Briefly, it costs nothing to c graduate. At a meeting of senior & girls, Mrs. Irwin, Miss Corless and t: Mrs. Newcomb advised girls to wear simple, girlish frocks—not neces- o sarily new ones. The boys will be s neat and trim. If you can persuade your family to purchase you a new r outfft more power to you! s DISPLAY OF ART Each year the students of Springville High school sponsor a national v art exhibit to which professional a artists from ail over the United States contribute paintings. The t exhibit lasts throughout the entire; t month of April and is this year ex- " tended to the first Sunday in May. E The students raise funds amounting c to nearly $5000 to be used in de- e fraying the expenses of the exhibit s and in purchasing paintings to be r added to the school collection. Our I iart teacher, Mr. Stewart, is contrib- i luting three of his canvases. Prizes awmarded amount to $500, $300, s $200, etc.—Fay Cardon. SOMETHING NEW p Style and flash- Just wait until you see the new uniforms of the band girls. Silk blouses and perfect fitting suits with pretty faces—have you ever seen a better combination? Just for the betterment of the band—watch for them!—Janet Fife. THOUGHTFULNESS An old proverb has told us that youth is cruel. There is probably more truth than poetry in the state-ment. The thoughtlessness and scatter-brain habits of youth can uncover more unhappiness than one can suppose at the time. Consider someone else once in a while. There are feelings which are hurt which may bring unhappiness back to you. A friendship is a beautiful thing.! Don't let trifles break it up. A fickle person is scarcely ever a best loved one. Old friends after all are the best. Think a little of them and how you would feel in the same conditions.—The Editor. HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics club held its reg¬ular meeting on Thursday, March 31. It was a pleasant meeting, though the speaker disappointed us. There was much discussion of old and new business, after which light refreshments served to accompani¬ment of lively chatter such a fea¬ture induces always. — Elizabeth Woolley. Our student body president re¬ceived the following letter from the officers of Logan High school: "The student body officers and the student body of Logan High1 school want to express our appre¬ciation for the reception that was given our students last Monday. Every consideration was shown and we could not have asked for a more friendly spirit. "We want to thank you for the splendid ideas thpJ were given to us concerning student body and club affairs. We invite you to visit our school at any time and sincerely hope that we can return the same compliments to you." ASSEMBLY We 13's assembly was conducted by Earl Reeves without too much pain. Some people would resent some of his remarks, but I forgive him because he knows not what he does. Because of the depression the saxaphone quartet is now a trio. However, they still carry on. (If you know what I mean.) Ma Lou Dobbs gave a reading, "Tom Sawyer's Pro¬posal to Becky." (With gestures.) The clubs with booths at the Clas¬sicalia each gave a skit, that ranks among the cleverest things this year. Those "Critchlow Kids" sang until Mr. Reeves had to call a halt. Ruth Hawkins and Elaine Evans came to the stage and smiled. And, after an unsuccessful hunt for Ernie Wangs- gard, the assembly adjourned.—B. T. LECTURE DELIVERED Mr. A. Smith, Standard-Examiner reporter and special writer, told the class in journalism at Ogden High school that one of the most objec¬tionable phases of reporting to him was the necessity for prying into other people's business in times of stress and emotional strain. He said that wherever possible the reporter in a one-newspaper town should keep the confidence of his news sources. This is not done in larger cities because a reporter only needs to use the source once and . will probably never see the person . again. Mr. Smith drew a distinction be- ; tween the two classes of reporters, i the "surface reporter" and the . "digging reporter." The digging re- . porter will ask every conceivable ; question and will obtain nearly everything that is to be known : about the story, while the surface ! reporter will write what is obvious. He explained that the "surface re- porter" is the lazy reporter but that i at times his story was more read- , able than the "digger's," because he does not have it too loaded with in¬consequential details. — Charles Wood. University Invitation Sent To High School apr. 5 1932 Each Institution Bidden To Take Part In Play Day Event Ogden High School Notes Robert Hetzel, Editor Miss Schofield has received the following letter, of interest to girls of the high school: "The Women's Athletic associa¬tion of the University of Utah is sponsoring a Play day, Saturday, April 30. 'A Play day is the coming together of two or more schools for athletic activity where competi¬tion is based on some arbitrarily chosen division and not on the school against school division.' In this way, the girls are placed on teams with representatives from each school on each team. Compe¬tition will be between these teams rather than between schools. "We cordially extend to you an invitation to send representatives from your school to participate in the activities, which will include a program of games which every girl, who is physically able, can play. We are inviting ten girls from each school. If you are unable to send ten girls, send as many as you can, but not to exceed ten. We espe¬cially urge the teacher in charge to accompany her girls. Registration fee will be 10 cents per person. "The program will talis place from eleven-thirty until four o'clock, with registration starting at eleven-thirty. Each girl will be expected to bring her own gym suit and gym shoes. If she wishes to swim, she must also bring her own suit and cap. ;No training in these events sched¬uled will be required. Instruction will be given in each activity before the play period starts. "We hope this program will meet with your wholehearted approval, and that your representatives will be on hand at the gymnasium of the University of Utah Saturday, April 30, rain or shine." ; Anyone interested will please see j Miss Schofield immediately. DEPENDABILITY There is a lot of meaning in that one little word, dependability. The dependability of a person is a val-uable thing, and if you find one upon whom you can depend, you have one of the best signs of a real honest worker. Much is in store in the future for every person in the world, and a great deal rests upon the dependability of anyone as to whether or not he will suc¬ceed. If a person is not depend¬able, and if he cannot be trusted, there is really nothing in store for him but bitterness and failure. If anyone could see what would hap¬pen to him through lack of depend¬ability, he would make a conscien¬tious effort to become the most de¬pendable person in the world. How¬ever, those few who are afflicted with disease of undependability can¬not see the ill affects of it before¬hand, or they would never acquire it. —The Editor. FAMOUS ALUMNUS Any of you knowing the graduat¬ing class of 1928 could never forget Dan Johnson. He was the business manager for the yearbook and prominent in R. O. T. C. work. Monday night Mr. Johnson, who is a senior at. U. S. C., passed through Ogden on his way to St. Louis, where he is going as a representative of the Scabbard and Blade, an hon¬orary R. O. T. C. fraternity. Word has been received from, Princeton university notifying us! that a student of last year is doing exceptionally well. You all remem¬ber Percy Oda. THE WASTEBASKET For eleven years, for some of usj twelve, it has stood there in its! respective corner, year in and yeaii out. It stands there, for the express! purpose of receiving your waste pa- j per, rubbish and trash of all sorts.! We all know that is the purpose of! the wastebasket, but how many ofj us use it for such. The great ma¬jority consider the wastebasket an ornament and stick their wads of gum and throw their old papers and such inside of the desks. Putting your rubbish in the desks may seem to be of no consequence, but it is. It makes the entire room look untidy and sloppy and shows poor discipline throughout the school. Also, it causes our noble broom bar¬ons more work, so if you haven't any pride in your school, at least consider them. It doesn't take much to put your rubbish into the waste¬basket, just a little extra effort, so let's see if we can't use the waste¬basket only in which to put our old paper, chewing gum, lunch wrappers, etc. —Sid Gordon. GIFT RECEIVED Through the courtesy of Mrs. Stu¬art P. Dobbs, the library has ac¬quired an edition of fifteen vol¬umes of "Beacon Lights of History," Lord. The student body wishes to thank Mrs. Dobbs for her kindness and assure her that the books will be well used. CLUB CAPTAINS! Interclub basketball competition starts Monday. All captains see Miss Schofield some time Wednes-day. PET PRO'S AND CON S Pro's: Ruth Hawkins as Classicalia queen and Elaine Evans as maid of honor, or else vice versa. (Now, is everybody happy?) The Classicalia pageant, both in general and particular — especially the part I happened to see. A choice assortment of candy bars, ice cream, pie and soda water. Oh, well, it was all in a good cause! Con's: Rubber-band flippers and pins during a balloon dance. (Any dis¬cussion?) Frank Brim and can't-remember- his-first-name Jensen, tripping the light fantastic, when so many girls would have liked to be in the shoes of either. (All those in favor say, "aye") A reviewing stand of critical boys, in the middle of the Berthana dur¬ing a gentlemen's tag dance. —Susie Seventeen. |
