Request Made To Pupils That Booster Spirit Be Developed At School Urged To Avoid 'Knocking' Attitude Toward Activities OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor There is nothing more detrimental to an organization, whether it be a business nouse, a high school or college, than a group of individuals within the institution who are continually knocking the organizations that are operating within the insti¬tution. In this case the institution referred to is our school, Ogden High, The organizations spoken of may be any of the clubs, any of the school's active bodies of students. The fact is that some students feel rather inclined to say and do say i things that tend to belittle school activities. A good example of this was clearly shown at one of our school assemblies. At the mention of one of our school bodies some of the less patriotic students felt inclined ft laugh and jeei, which of itself would convince an outsider that the students of Ogden High did not support and believe in their own organizations. And this, stu-dents, is just exactly opposite the impression we should trj to make among the people with whom we associate. Perhaps it is not quite fair to say that we, as students of Ogden High do not intend to uphold our school band, our student body organizations, or clubs and our school as a whole. Then let us, on the other hand, strive to boost the organiza¬tions which form our school life. Let us show our appreciation of the fine, industrious organizations we have at our school. How much bet¬ter we will appear to the public as a school of boosters, rather than a group of measly critics. Students, we really have a great deal to be proud of in regard to our school. Ogden High has a splendid record of achievements to her credit throughout the west. Our music department has won high honors in the state for many years. Our athletic department has turned out any number of splendid teams Our clubs are all of the highest type and are deserving of all honor and credit. In fact our school deserves all the boosting that we, the stu¬dents, have to offer. So, throughout the school year may we endeavor to continue to boost our school and in the end we will find that the good work will move along much more rapidly through the boosting we do.—Blaine Larsen. PROUD OF RECORD Ye amateur would-be chemists of E. Smith's second period class are charging forward to create a name for themselves in a financial way: even though they do not make such brilliant grades on the weekly exams. They are fairly booming with pride to announce that the class has the largest percentage of student body tickets in the school, and that during the collection of nickels for Mr. Hutchinson's performance, they came through one hundred per cent. —V.M. COUNCIL MEETING Regular council meeting was call¬ed to order by President Jensen, the roll was called, the minutes read and approved. A tentative report on the get ac¬quainted dance was given by An- thon Yarorough. Gregg Artists club was given permission to hold its semester party Friday night. Congress was grant¬ed permission to hold meetings every Monday evening, and Phi Lamba Tau was permitted to hold one night meeting each month. Council then rescinded the motion to give Zeta Phi Zi the right to hold two night meetings eacn month. Changes were made in the club constitution concerning pledging and adviser meetings. School stationery has been placed in the staff room for use in school business. By a motion, council then ad¬journed—Clifford Thorne, secre¬tary. FRANCOIS French is a romantic subject. It is, I mean if I know my definition for romance. In our third year French class we are learning things that give a thrill to our school life- Our teacher, Mr. Taggart makes the class more interesting by show¬ing us pictures of the modern France, in comparison of what we learn of the ancient France. We have our daily crossword puz¬zles which are just as educational as they are fun. My vocabulary has been somewhat increased by this new way of putting things over. The music room can put nothing over on the sixth period French class for good singing, we do it with out accompaniment at that. Listen in sometime. We're good! I could go on forever about our French class, but I just wanted to let you know that there is one sub-ject that gives enjoyment as well as knowledge in this school. Until later. Je dit bonjour mes amis. Vive la France.—S L.S. OH! GOSH! Talking of habits, I'm having a bit of trouble. For the last seven weeks I've been trying to form one of the blasted things. It is to get up on time for school days and sleep the other two. This habit works backward every time. I've even tried fooling mysell but it does not help. Has any one a suggestion before I give up?—Dolores Rowland. THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL At Friday's assembly, Al Warden gave us a very interesting account of the development of football and the improvement of sportsmanship during recent years. He also named some great stars in the sport not forgetting our own Mr. Kapple, Earl Ferguson at Box Elder and Burns Crookston. He also gave us the interesting story of Frank Oberhansley's achievement as a footracer in his balmy days. The band furnished excellent music for the assembly and junior and senior girls put on two excellent pep stunts. These will probably be described in Tuesday's notes. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1933. Prizes To Be Awarded For Finest Art Work In Ogden High Department LeConte Stewart Sponsor¬ing Year's Contest For School Pupils OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. Le Conte Stewart will award the prizes for the best art work done throughout the school year. Prizes are works made by Mr. Stewart himself. For the best work done in fine arts the winner may choose an oil painting; the student doing the best work in commercial art will have the choice of a lithograph sketching; and for the best drawing the person may choose an etching. The winners will be awarded their prizes in May. All art students are urged to try for the prizes not only because they are of value but so one may lemember his ability in art! work while in high school.—Arlene Haygood. Ah, but I've learned: DANCING? As you know dancing is one of the chief pastimes of most any so¬cial circle. In these so-called social circles are people who dance, and those who think they dance. There are those woh dance stiffly, and those who dance loosely. There are some who dance terribly. There are some, who dance on their feet, yet some prefer dancing on their partner's, this must give a 'softer touch.'' Some show courtesy, while others think the girls prefer that cave man style. You know I mean "Hey, you" emphasized with a grand slam into the nearest couple. "Walk on your own feet for a while," when proba¬bly you had been trying to get your feet from under his all the time. TALKING There are some who won't talk, some who talk so much that you can't get a word in edgewise, sidewise, or otherwise. The talkative type is really quite bad. When the dance is over, you have an empty, unfinished feeling. You feel amaz¬ed and grief stricken. You feel like someone left out in the cold, while everyone else is around a nice, cozy fireplace. Then there are those who take all the joy out of life. You begin to talk about your favorite hero (the one you think is so good looking and intelligent), and they say, with the lightened face of one; who suddenly comprehends a deep subject, "Oh, yes! You mean the bow-legged, washed out looking guy, who is so dumb in school" You feel like, "Oh! What's the use?" Now here's another thing, the per¬son just learning to dance (that's just a polite way of putting it. They just weren't made for dancing, and couldn't if they tried for years). When you are yet struggling, you wonder if there is really a god who shows mercy, and if there is one, will he please let you faint, die. anything, just to end it. After all is said and done, what is dancing? I'll tell you—just a pre¬lude to sorrow!—The Morning Af¬ter. VERY EFFECTIVE My oh my, Friday's dance certain¬ly cast a spsll on the romantic hearts of Ogden High's student body. Monday found the boys carry¬ing extra books which belonged to pretty little lassies walking beside them. In remote corners of the halls you will find Romeo holding Julet's hand and whispering sweet nothings in her eager ear. Even the teachers make a point of pay¬ing friendly calls on their fellow workers. What I have been trying to say is "we certainly have become ac¬quainted.''—E.M. TROPHIES Upon entrance into our school building from the northeast door, the first thing of interest seen by a visitor is a huge case with a glass front standing just to the right of the office door. Upon closer obser-vation the visitor finds that this case is the trophy case of the Og¬den Senior High school and that it contains those awards that haye been won by the skillful and accom¬plished students of Ogden High. Contained in the case are loving cups awarded for nearly every ac¬tivity engaged in by the students of Ogden High. These trophies are a tangible evidence that the present and former students of our school are of the highest type of scholastic attainment. We have in our trophy case awards won for brilliance in athletics, music, R.O.T.C., oratory, are, debating and scholastic ability. Students, these trophies adorn our trophy case because former Og¬den High students were possessed with the desire to make a name for Ogden High. Ajjreat number of! the students who helped gain these awards have gone on but they have left behind them this evidence that they were successful in their at¬tempts to gain for Ogden High a name that would stand. Fellow students, the good name stands, most of the earners of these troph¬ies have graduated, but we, the present students, have these waards still with us to remind us of the accomplishments of the past. Therefore, may we respect and know these awards and strive to up¬hold the prestige giver our school by our former students and the proof they have left—our trophies. —Blaine Larsen. OBSERVATION I have noticed that every clock in this school says a different time. How are we supposed to know which one to go by? My dear Snooptagall, I am ex¬tremely glad that someone remem¬bers me from last year. Just to please you, I'll write some more. Why, oh why, couldn't they find some place else to put the gymnasium besides over the study hall? I can't even study the few times I do feel the urge. In turn, I shall ask the question, "Where is Printh Willy-Nilly and Juste Moi?" They didn't graduate last year, either—Mademoiselle. |
