WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1933 Solid Basis Needed To Assure Progress Future Citizens Should Cling To Ideals, Avers Writer OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette. Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor. "To what we are becoming is what were going to be.' (not orginal). To what we are becoming is a matter of opinion. Some of our elders be¬lieve that we have utterly failed to uphold the principles and ideals that our ancestors prescribed for us, while others have faith and hope in our generation and in the kind of citizens we will make. Whether we're going to disappoint our country and ourselves depends upon the kind of characters we're becoming today. Are we becoming citizens who will strive to make our country a safer and happier place to live in, or are we making of our¬selves the kind of characters who are today the great drawbacks of America? The welfare of people and of nations depends upon the sort of lives we, the future citizens, choose to live. The foundation for a happy, pros¬perous and progressive people can¬not be that of ignorance, nor can it be that of greed and selfishness. A solid foundation must be built upon the fundamentals of right learning and of faith in fellow men. Since we students want to have the right kind of a foundation, there is no time like the present to curb our actions and our thoughts, to study and understand the mo¬tives which govern others, and above all, to learn the principles of life and how to make life ideal.—Elva Miller. FLITTING AROUND Mr. Merrill wears beautiful ties Have you ever noticed them? You really ought to, because they are surely a sight for sore eyes. Uninteresting notes? Well — if some of you people who are always kicking would take the trouble to read each article, you might possi¬bly change your minds. Then you'd appreciate the notes! Helen Hooper seems to be English. Just ask her why. She'll explain. If you have an intense dislike for any subject, just go to see Mr Merrill. He'll make you change your mind. He uses psychology! Miss Woolley's class had quite a discussion on "lines." The boys think girls have pretty cute "lines," but the girls think the boys' 'lines" are smoother. Which do you agree with? I'm inclined to agree with the girls.—The Shadower. FOR THOUGHT Some reasons for thought: Juvenal says, 'All wish to possess knowledge, but few. comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price.' Jeremy Taylor said, "It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily.—Ex-perience and humility teach modesty and fear." "It is not only arrogant, but profligate, for a man to disregard the world's opinion of himself"— Cicero. "Better late than never" is not half so good a maxim as "Better never late." (Source unknown.) P. Osborn says, "A few books, well studied, and thoroughly digested, nourish the understanding more than hundreds but gargled in the| mouth, as ordinary students use."— Barbara Taylor. SNICKERS (Mr. Smith explaining economics) "This, students, is very simple." (The door opens and Freddie walks in.) Miss Ballinger: "Ellen you give us the first question in today's lesson. Ellen: Really, mam, I didn't get that far. GLORIOUS FEELING I sat down in front of my desk I after I arrived home from school! Friday and before I knew it I had all of my lessons for Monday. I listened to the radio Friday night. Saturday I went to a party at which I thoroughly enjoyed myself because I did not have to be think¬ing bow I was going to word that English theme. Sunday I amused myself by doing everything that I, could possibly think of. What a life! What a glorious feelins; to find that I did not have to get lessons Sunday night! Have you ever tried getting your lessons on Friday?—Arlene Haygood. INFORMATION Dear Nose All: Can you supply or tell me where I can /ind a remedy for shaking knees, chattering teeth, frightened tones and hectic mono¬syllables when I am standing be¬fore a class.—Nose Not. Dear Nose Not:—I'm sorry I can't help you with this question. The trouble is, I have the same weak-ness. I'd appreciate some help, too. Maybe, though, if you studied your speech more, you wouldn't be bothered—Nose All. FROM NUMBER Laughing? There is one good thing about it. It is possible to de¬termine one's nationality by the number of times he laughs when a joke is told. An Englishman laughs three times. Once when it is told, to be polite, again when it is told; and the third time when he gets the point. A Frenchman laughs twice. Once to be polite, again when the joke is explained. He never gets it. An American only laughs once. He's heard it before! CONDUCT From the time that we, as chil¬dren, first learned to talk and walk, we have or should have been taught proper conduct. We as children have been taught a great many things, things that are always creep¬ing into our daily lives. Therefore, students, our actions and conduct today are the results of our earlier training. How does your daily con¬duct sum up with that of your fellow classmates? Are you to be classed with the group who are sver mindful of the fact that good conduct is conducive to the better-ment of individual, family, school, and country? We hope there is none of the other type in Ogden High school because our school is judged by the records of the in¬dividuals within it. If we, as stu¬dents, are mindful of our conduct throughout .life, our school in turn will benefit by the actions and con¬duct of its student body. If on the other hand, we do not care how we conduct ourselves, our parents, our school, and our city are in danger of a bad name because of our con¬duct. Students, strive to keep the name of Ogden High among the best schools in our state by remembering i at all times the results of our daily conduct.—Blaine Larsen.
