Show Thursday, Sept. 7, 1933. High School Greets Six New Instructors Training and Experience of Each Sketched in Notes Ogden High School Notes--Mary Paquette, Editor; Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. We are pleased to greet six new teachers who are all willing to work and co-operate with the student body. We welcome these teachers into the amicable realms of Ogden High school, and we feel that a little knowledge of their past schooling and occupation will be interesting. Miss Lamont Poulter, the charm¬ing new vice principal, has attended the U. S. A. C., the U. of U., the B. Y. U. and Columbia university of New York. During the past four years Miss Poulter was the supervisor of schools in Carbon county. In 1930 she made an educational tour of Europe. Besides performing the duties of vice principal, Miss Poulter will also teach history. We've very luckily acquired for our new librarian, Miss Wodsworth from Washington D. C. where she has been engaged (humor) for the past three years. Miss Wodsworth graduated from Ogden High and the Riverside Librarian school in California. After that she worked six years in our own public library. From Lewis Junior High, Miss Zelta Ballinger joins our faculty to teach English. She attended the U. S A. C. and the U. of U. During the summer Miss Ballinger visited the Chicago world's fair while she attended the University of Chicago. Miss Effie Jones, a graduate of U. S. A. C., is teaching both physiology and cooking this year, and is in charge of the cafeteria. She has taken post-graduate work at the University of California, University of Minnesota, and the University of Chicago. She has taught at Bing¬ham High, Juab High, North and South Cache. The girls' new gym instructor, Mrs. White, who has taught at North Junior for the past few years, is a graduate of the U. S. A. C. and has attended summer school at the U. of U. and the U. S. A. C. Mrs. White has been vitally interested in gymnastics the last few years. Coming from Weber County High, we have Victor Hancock, our new Spanish teacher who is a graduate of the U. S. A. C. He has taken graduate work at the University of California, and at the University of Mexico. Mr. Hancock spent this past summer at the University of California. With these splendid additions to our faculty, Ogden High school should attain highest honors throughout the coming year—Arlene Haygood. FIRST DAYS With due apologies to Rudyard Kipling, the author of that famous poem "Boots," we wish to submit this as our impression of the first few days of school: Hurry, flurry, listen as the school bell calls, Hustle, bustle, puplis rushing through the halls. Rush crush, someone stumbles, someone falls. There is no change in the school. Boys, boys trampling over people's feet, Girls, girls, trying to keep their dresses neat Boys, girls, rushing to get the back seat, There is no change in school. Climb, climb, up the steps to the next floor, Creak, squeak, there's the opening of the door. This will last for many days more. There is no change in the school. STUDENT TICKETS Here is news concerning our stu¬dent body tickets. As you probably already know, the prices are three and five dollars. The three dollar cards admit you to the athletic games, the school play and opera, while the five dollar tickets, besides the other privileges, entitle you tq the Classicum, the annual numbed of which is the pride and joy ofl every student's heart. Mr. Abplanalp, who has charge of the tickets, urges you to bring your money to your advisory teacher and make an immediate purchase. Until he has an estimate as to how many tickets will be bought, no plans can be made for the social and athletic, activities for the year. Tickets may be bought on the installment plan, so rally 'round students, and save your pennies. CAUTION A word to you wise juniors. Watch these seniors when buying books They'll rook you plenty. Aren't you ashamed, Norm? All over school Wednesday morn¬ing, boys were signing papers for other boys. Tish! Tish! Be carefu or you'll be caught. Wonder of Wonders! No grads in the halls Wednesday morning. One more good-looking girl in school. Patty is her pan-handle, Watch out for her, fellows. Lots of juniors stand around the east bulletin board learning how tc open their lockers. But, then they must learn sometime. Who took the telephone book from the hall? Will someone please tell me? Pansy, stay away from Donna, will you please? She's my girl. When you get in the building, Leonard, please stay there. Don't stay outside all day. Why don't you find out from the office what's right or wrong in your program. They can tell you, Jack B. Even the dogs, along with the jun¬iors, are happy that school started! —Happy A NEW DEAL "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice: Take every man's censure, but reserve thy judgment." —Shakespeare These widely read words, written over three centuries ago by the master penman of all times, very aptly describe the qualities possessed by one who may be called a true friend. Since the beginning of time, paramount among the most potent psychological urges of mankind has been the longing for companionship; for a companionship based on similar temperaments, and mutual likes and fancies; for a friendship which eliminates ridicule and reprehen¬sion. This feeling has progressed, although at times rather phlegmatically, until the present day sees a new era, generally, in the pursuit of friendship among not only in¬dividuals, but also of widely at¬tempted amiability among the nations and conflicting creeds of the world. Thus, disamament and peace conferences are in session; a long hostile world is gradually struggling toward universal peace and good will among men. It seems that something of this whole-hearted feeling of friend¬ship has entered O. H. S. this fall along with a new school year. Less than ever are the time-worn traditions of class-distinction being ob-served, and the lowly junior feels more on a level with the upper classmen. With an asmosphere such as this prevading all student-body activities for the entire year, a vast field of opportunities present themselves. With a consolidated group of students working, together, unmindful of class differences, the school year of 1933-34 should be one long remembered in the annals of Ogden High school.—Norman E. Carroll. Dave Wangsgaard was in such a hurry to get away from his wife yesterday that he forgot to bring his roll. All the students have had their silver money changed into bills so they can show it off. Questionaire in Mrs. Newcomb's class; What is your favorite subject? Ans. English.
