Show THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1933. Band Sounds Call For Students Desiring High Position Of Drum Major Regular or Twirling Kind of Dignitary Will Be Developed OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. While passing through Lester park the other day, I noticed some oi the twirling drum majors from We-ber college out on the lawn practicing their stuff. Weber has a very fine band and those fellows know how twirling drum majors add to the band's appearance. Ogden High school can also have some twirling drum majors, in fact, sev¬eral students have already started to learn how it's done. The posi-tions have not been filled, however, and you still have a chance. If you are interested in being a twirl-ing drum major, or the regular drum major, see Mr. Hanson ati once. Remember, you don't have to be experienced, we wilt teach you. EACH PART ESSENTIAL If you were working in the as¬sembly plant of a motoi car company, you would have a specific job. The chassis would come rolling along to you, and it you failed to adjust the one part for which you were responsible, the car would be incomplete. So it is here in our school. Things have been built up to a certain point. Adjustments have been made to make a sturdy, smooth running machine. And there, my dear Wat¬son, comes our part. We, as stu-dents, need to add our part to the machine. Heaven is not reached in a single bound, nor a Classicalia by a single student oody ticket. No one else can accomplish this thing but the students themselves; it isn't charity it's merely adding a necessary part to the machine. Let's all buy a student body ticket!—Fred Nickson. A SUGGESTION As to the controversy of clubs at Ogden High school. To some of the more bashful but I ambitious students of high school the very word club spells a waste of time and money. Take for instance a boy interested in aviation. He is not especially taken up on the idea of socials, though that seems to be sole object of the organizing of many clubs, but like unto many other poor but energetic lads he (wished to show something for his time. However, if a club such as one organized for the purpose of studying and advancing aviation in Ogden were, organized it would re¬ceive a hearty reception from more than one of the students here- Ambitious. FINE ENTERTAINMENT Charles B. Hutchins, of Boulder. Colo., the "bird man," visited our school Wednesday morning. He in-troduced his speech as the "Birds of Utah" and began by drawing charts and pictures of birds. Listen¬ing very attentively to Mr. Hutch ins, the students enjoyed his songs of more than 20 birds and were absolutely spell bound by the splen¬dor of the colors and beauty of his elaborate paintings. While sketching two beautiful colored birds he entertained the students with two "bird like singing' songs. Mr. Hanson played an accompaniment on the piano for Mr Hutchins. Laughter prevailed throughout his program. We want to thank Mr. Hutchins very sincerely for entertaining us so supremely.—Arlene Haygood. QUOTATIONS You may have heard these quo¬tations being expressed around the school. If not, I advise you to read them. "Sensational," the Hollywood's new adjective of approval. "One never knows (what time will bring) does one?"—Greta Garbo. "Come up sometime," is still in vogue. "Colossal," the pet word of John Gilbert. "When I'm good. I'm very good, but when I'm bad—I'm better."— Mae West—Secret. FLITTING AROUND I think that if all the assemblies were as interesting as the one held last Friday, we would not be bother¬ed with inattention or noise any more. I wonder what was wrong with everybody Tuesday? I heard more people say that they were mad or tired, or that something was wrong. Show could so many different peo¬ple get out of bed on the wrong side on the same day? That is one question which will remain unans¬wered. Don't you think we ought to send a vote of thanks to Bill Zuppann— a post graduate art student If you will take the trouble to notice all our pretty signs, you will see that i almost all of them have been painted by Bill Zuppann. Thank you, Bill, we appreciate your kindness. It still makes me laugh when i hear people say that girls are vain. Boys comb their hair much oftener than girls do—I have noticed that.—The Shadower. COUNCIL SESSION Regular council meeting was call¬ed to order by President Jensen; the Toll was called, the minutes were read and corrected. The chair announced that ex¬cuses for absence from council meet¬ing must be read by the secretary and accepted by council. Tri Delta was accepted as a school club. Zeta Phi Zi was given permission to hold night meetings on the sec¬ond Thursday and last Wednesday of each month. Council accepted a cup for the extemporaneous speech contest which will automatically become school property. This cup is presented by the oral expression class¬es. Ogden plays South Cache Friday. Students will not be excused from school to attend the game. The get-acquainted dance will be held Friday at nine o'clock. The price of admission is 40 cents a couple or 25 cents each, or student body cards. A short discussion was held on club funds in relation to the school treasury. Council was then adjourned by motion.—Clifford Thorne, secretary. DREAM MAN Near Nose-all: My dream man is a thrilling inspiration; he dresses im¬maculately and with the utmost care; his well built stature towers six feet in the air while his hand¬some features disclose a man of real character and outstanding abil¬ity. My heart seems to miss a beat everytime I converse with him and whenever I peer into his shining dark eyes I feel as if I have sprout¬ed two feathery white wings which are lifting me slowly towards the heavens (probably the closest I'll ever get to arriving at that celebrat¬ed spot) The only trouble is—I can't find him. Can you help me?— Junior. My dear Junior; This dream man of yours sounds supiciously like one of our well-known football stars. He answers to the name of Maurie Kennedy. Look him over and makej up your mind. He might suit you.— Nose-All. AWAKENED FACULTY Hip, hip, hurrah, for the faculty We understand they had a get-ac¬quainted party in South Fork canyon last evening. We haven't heard much about it, except that Frank Oberhansley fried the steaks—that he did a good job at it and that they (the steaks) were all eaten. No fatalities are reported as yet, i although some of the teachers have! a rather sickly loois today. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1933. Progress Made During First Term At O. H. S., Now Almost Finished School Spirit Is Revived and Given New Start In Life OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. I don't suppose I'm telling you anything you don't already know when I say the first term is nearly over—am I? Nevertheless, this term is only a beginning; because we make the grade this time we can't sit back and shirk the next time; we must try always to learn. Should we fail this time, we mustn't give up, because we've only started; but we can realize "while there's life, there's hope"—and fulfill our hopes by studying hard while we can. Furthermore, during this first term, we've certainly accomplished some¬thing (even if we don't quite know what our lessons are all about). The team won our first league foot¬ball game, and we supported it. We've elected class officers who I have begun already to show their worthiness. Lastly and best of all, we've pulled the good old school spirit out of the mothballs and polished it up with lasting, shining loyalty.—Little Lame Prince. INTERESTING SIGHT In the zoology room we have a rare treasure which is to zoologists, even more interesting than "Captain Kidd'sTreasureChest." This delicate piece of artistry is a large silver- colored cocoon made of oak leaves and thin white silk threads. Once upon a time this cocoon was a pale bluish green caterpillar with a pale yellow stripe running along each side of its body. Some people who saw it probably consid¬ered it ugly and undesirable, but the most skilled artist could not have secured such perfect color harmony as nature here displayed. Some time in this school year this silver cocoon will open, and a gorgeous Luna moth will come forth. Its color will .be a delicate grren and a purple brown band will stand out prominently along the front edge of its fore-wings. A pair of richly colored, make-believe eyes will decorate each of the pairs i of wings. The hind pair will termi¬nate in long curving tails. As she gracefully stretches her wings, the onlooker will be conscious of a faint fluttering sound. Perhaps she will be timid about trying her new-found wings. However, as she floats out into space, a silhouette against the misty blue of the evening, she will make a picture long to be re¬membered.—Bob Buswell. ASSEMBLY PROGRAM The assembly was called to order by President Jensen who announced the game with Hyrum Friday. No one is excused to go. Anthon Yarbrough reminded us of the Get Acquainted Dance to be held Friday 13. We're expecting to see you there. The first number on the program was a violin solo by Jesse Lubeck- He was accompanied by Ronald Hubbard. Ruth Dyer, president of the Girl's association, announced a girls' assembly Friday afternoon. The next number on the program was a vocal selection rendered by Ches¬ter Christensen. We seem to have some real talent in Ogden High this year. Father Kennedy, pastor of the Catholic church in Ogden, gave a speech on the ambitions and actions of Columbus. The talk in itself was interesting, but when variated by bits of Irish humor which are so characteristic of him, it was thor¬oughly enjoyed by everyone pres¬ent. After another bit of philosophy' by President Jensen assembly ad¬journed.— M. P. THE BIRD MAN Mr. Hutchins, "the Bird Man," gave a very interesting lecture Wednesday morning. He has studied since his boyhood in the woods of Washington and has visited many parts of the globe in his quest for bird knowledge. Mr. Hutchins, who is an excellent artist, not only illus¬trated his remarks but also brought with him some beautiful paintings showing the birds in their natural surroundings. We learned many very interesting facts from his lecture, mong them are: the blackbird is not only black but has the colors of the rainbow; the meadow lark is the most popu¬lar bird in the west and is the state bird of six states; the sparrow is not the name of one bird but the name of a family in which there are eighty-six species; there are fourteen hundred thousand in the world and without birds a nation could not long endure for the plants would cease growing and the land would be over-ridden with ver-min. Mr. Hutchins concluded his edu¬cational lecture with a sincere plea for our aid in the conservation of birds.—Margaret Warner. TROPHY TO BE AWARDED A beautiful metal trophy is to be awarded to the class which gives the best extemporaneous speeches by the three speech class¬es of the school. It is hoped that this trophy will help stimulate enthusiasm and in¬terest in these competitive talks Arlene Hay good. CHARCOAL DRAWINGS The students who are taking art from Mr. Le Conte Stewart have just finished drawings that have been sketched with charcoal. The pictures are all very good and show ability and interest in the work Students are cordially invited to vis it the art room and view the splen¬did showing of the work displayed by students of our school. The drawings are hung on the north wall. Come up sometime. —A. H. A REAL PARTY High school teachers's report "the best party ever" was held in Ogden Stake grounds, South Fork on Wed¬nesday evening. For an hour the teachers played like children, the men baseball, the ladies tennis, vol¬ley ball etc. After this they had a great out-of-doors dinner—rolls and steak, tomatoes, coffee, cocoa, cook¬ies and watermelon. Frank Ober¬hansley acted as chef and did a I wonderful job at it. After dinner Weldon Taggart led in a song fest about a big camp fire. No wonder the teachers were good natured and peppy today. SAYINGS ON FRIENDSHIP To bury a friendship is a keener grief than to bury a friend. A man's friendships are some of the best measures of his worth. Never do a wrong thing to make a friendship or to keep one.— Eleanore Eccles. |
