Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. Some down town merchants have received the mistaken impression that the cadets of the R. O. T. C. were being instructed to purchase their drill shoes at only one certain store. At this time we wish to cor¬rect this error, and explain very emphatically that no such state¬ment or advice was issued in any manner whatsoever at Ogden High school. The students and faculty of O. H. S. desire the wholehearted support of every business man of Ogden in any venture we undertake, and in return are willing to support to the last degree of their ability eac and every business and indus¬trial man in our city.—The Editors and Managers of publications. CALL FOR BOYS Where are all "them thar boys with good voices" keeping them¬selves? Why don't some of you stroll into the third period class? This class is a mixed acappella chorus. Acappella music is the high¬est type of choral work. There are acappella choruses in all big colleges and universities. Why not develop your musical talent by joining this class? And here's another good rea¬son for joining. There are dozens of good looking girls. We need you boys. Come on and join us third period every day in the music room. —Merry Vee NOTICE JUNIORS I understand that the seniors have signed the date of their execution as Wednesday the twentieth in the form of the famous annual wat¬ertight. We juniors realize that our seniors gained a decision over their seniors of last year; therefore we are assured of some real competition. Remember juniors, that "Unitted they stand; divided they fall." I'll see you there Wednesday the twentieth at four o'clock—Taylor. PHI LAMBDA TAU Well, leave it to Phi Lam to start things out with a bang. This time it was in the form of a week-end tarty. And did we have a good time? Just ask us. We think this is a good time to introduee the officers of Phi Lambda Tau for this year, so here they are: President—Eleanor Eccles; vice president— Dorothy Bowman; secretary— Kate Johnson; reporter— Lola Greaves, scrapbook editor— Margaret Gwilliam.—Reporter. ASSEMBLY EVENTS The assembly was called to order by President Jensen, who announced that Carpe Diem was holding an honor roll for all clubq having an attendance of 100 per cent in school activities. He also advised the clubs that they must give their constitu¬tion to the club committee before next Wednesday. Ruth Dyer, the Girl's association president made an announcement; concerning the Little Sister party for Friday evening. Grant Jensen announced the of¬ficers elected by seniors and juniors for class officers. Each advisory class was requested to choose or have a volunteer to act as yell leader. These volunteers were to report Monday seventh period in room 305. First we were favored with a trombone solo "Evening Star" play¬ed by Dean Crandall. Mr. Merrill did us a very fine turn in requesting teachers not to assign too much written work. (He knows from ex-perience how many students get their lessons). Judge Howell gave us an inter¬esting and instructive talk on the NRA. Jack Quayle gave a short speech on the immediate future of the student body association. He says the S B. tickets are very important and I should be bought immediately and I agree with him—come on, stu¬dents—buy your tickets right away and we'll have a grand year! "The Old Refrain," a vocal solo by Clinton Price, was the next number on the program. George Larkin, the senior president, extended a formal invitation to the juniors for a little party tor be held Wednesday at three forty-five. Warren Stewart, junior class president eagerly accepted the invitation and then after a short bit of philosophy by Mr. Jensen we adJourned.—Betty Young. WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1933. MAGAZINE HAS NEW VIEWPOINT Quarterly Classicum Invites O. H. S. Pupils' Contributions OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. This year the quarterly Classicum hopes to attain a certain standard, that of all-American honors, which can be done with the help of the entire student body. The quarterly Classicum issues published in the past have been worthy of much praise and the future ones will be il every student will give his sup-port. A new plan is to be undertaken this year and we sincerely hope it will prove successful. There will be no certain theme or idea carried out in each issue. This plan should bring us a greater and better var-iety of material. This scholastic magazine is issued four times a school year for the purpose of publishing the students' newest ideas in creative writing, and all who wish to test their ability as writers should take advantage of this opportunity. Editorials, prose, poetry, short stories, and humor write-ups will be accepted. Begin writing naw and help make the quarterly-Classicum a success—Virgie Minnoch—Editrix. INTER NOS Inter Nos, a club of the Cicero Latin class, has elected these offi¬cers for the following year: Imperator, Dwight Parkinson; quaestor, Norman Carroll; censor, Dean Nel¬son; scribea, Elizabeth Parkinson; regind festivitates, Ruth Dyer. At each following meeting we will have programs which will bring up items oi especial interest to Latin students. NATIONAL NUISANCES Boys who gather outside at the Little Sister party. Do they think they are so necessary to a good time? People who drop gum on the floor where someone will step on it. Students who neglect to take down assignment and at the last minute borrow yours. Groups that gather at the foot of the stairs talking about this or that party while blocking everyone that wishes to hurry. Fountain pens that run out of ink. And me—Handy Mandy. FROM ME TO YOU Say, have you ever tried pluck¬ing leaves from a daisy to see if your best girl loves you? Take my word for it and start on "She loves me not," and you'll come out right every time. There's a certain boy around school that's been telling V. T. that she had mud in her hair. Will V. T please tell us how it got there? Will some nice guy push the shad¬ow into a nice deep hole before he ruins all of our reputations. 'Tis time to end—Orchid. Oh, Eleanor, why don't you wash your face after eating marshmallow cookies? A big girl like you ought tc be ashamed of herself. Say Billy! If you knew what people thought about these boys who express their sentiments so publicly! Beware, you might scorch V. T. with some of those glances. Jerry, if you wish to conceal your leelings, you'd better conquer your blush! Was Blenn out too late at night, oi was the assembly too boring to suit him? He ought to find a bed to sleep in. I'd like to know—does everyone in the Spanish class share Ruth's opinion of Jerry?—Scandal Monger SEPTEMBER 21, 1933. THURSDAY EVENING, TICKET SALE CALL SOUNDED O. H. S. Urged To Over¬come Obstacles To Fine Social Season OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. A study of the economic changes of the last century reveals that the trend of industrial prosperity tends to run in cycles. Thus, the years show periods of prosperity and plenty followed by years of distress and almost veritable famine. The country is now emerging from a period of depression and economic "stagnation that has never been paralleled in respect to duration or seriousness in the buisiness and in¬dustrial history of the world. However, this recovery is being brought about only after, a complete study of the causes of this catas-trophe and by carefully adminis¬tered relief measures. As a result the nation is being borne upward on a rising wave of prosperity brought about by such institutions as the Reconstruction Finance corporation and the national industrial recovery act. Today the student body of Ogden High school is faced with as serious a situation, comparatively, as the government encountered during the so-called depression. Up to date there have been only one-fifth the number of memberships to the Stu¬dent Body association subscribed as there were at an earlier date last year! There is no need to recount what this means to the school life of Ogden High school, but, perhaps some of us do not realize how drab and dull our school year will really i be without these extra activities, There will be no dances, no quarter¬ly or annual Classicums, and no school play or opera; in short we will settle down to a hum drum, every day existence of nothing but classes and study. The year of 1933-34 will be remembered not for its accomplishments, but for its lack of accomplishments—something that will remain with the graduation seniors throughout the years colored with a tinge of regret. Now the United States has sur¬mounted her economic difficulties —why cannot Ogden High school with the proper spirit and support of the students do the same? In some cases the purchase of student body tickets will mean hardship and sacrifice—but it's worth it. Let's all who have not already purchased a student body ticket do so, and show Old Man Depression that he cannot down a group of students who have the real spirit to succeed.—Norman E. Carroll. NOTE TO CLUB MEMBERS Dear Senior club members: Just a few lines to let you know that there are still a few seniors left in the school who do not belong to a club. Some seniors did not have the opportunity to belong to a club last year and would like very much to have the chance to belong to one this year. As a member of one of the clubs, I suggest all club members to not only give bids to juniors, but also give those seniors who did not join a club last year an opportunity this year. Seniors should have the preference.—Yours truly, A. Club Member. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE This year the band desires two twirling or exhibition) drum ma¬jors.
