FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1933. Orchestra Striving With 40-Piece Membership To Master Symphonic Music Present Group Regarded As Finest At School In Several Years OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor; Jack Bennett, Associate Editor; Emily Merrill, Blaine Larsen, Assistant Editors The splendid O. H. S. orchestra is endeavoring to play with perfection all types of symphonic music, the highest grade of music written. This is the best orchestra that has ever been assembled in the realms of O. H. S. in years. The trustworthy officers for the year are: Ruth Dyer, president; Dean Crandall, vice president; Ken¬neth Brizee, librarian. The instrumentation of the or¬chestra is most complete. All the necessary instruments to make a full symphony orchestra are found in this brilliant group, as follow?: String section: Fifteen violins, four violas, two cellos, four basses in¬cluding string and sousaphone; woodwind section: four clarinets, one flute, one bassooon; brass sec¬tion: two cornets, one trombone, two French horns; percussion section: One set of drums, one tympani, and one piano. There are forty pieces in the assemblage of instruments. Some of the selections studied this year are: Brahms' "Hungarian dances" (No. 5 and 6), Saint Saens' "Dance Macabre," Oscar Straus' "The Chocolate Soldier," Men¬delssohn's "Capriceio Brillante," Rubenstein's "Kamenoi Ostrow." The orchestra has recently be¬come a member of the National Federation of Music clubs, a na¬tional honorary society. Playing in assemblies and at the Kiwanis club meetings, the or¬chestra received many compliments. The students of Ogden High should appreciate and boost the outstand¬ing work of these musical students in their effort to attain a higher jgoal. The orchestra has been able to achieve such impressive results through the capable direction of Mr. Hanson, the music instructor.— Arlene Haygood. A MODEL An ideal person is companionable, courteous, and genial, has a good mind, sound judgment and common sense and a sympathetic, thought¬ful disposition. That individual is honest, loyal and has a sense of humor. He is competent, broad-minded, social-minded and progressive. The man is optimistic, enthus¬iastic, courageous, energetic, ambi¬tious, decisive, convincing, daring, and dynamic. This human is responsible, prac¬tical, conscientious, a sense of just¬ice, is self-controlled, careful, tem-perate, and dignified. We would do well, students, to fashion ourselves after such a model.—Emily Merrill. WE NOTICE Upon observing the mournful faces around school one concludes that some people must be lonely. What's the matter with the radia¬tor warmer this year? The janitors have had to keep a fire for the last three weeks. Last year the stu¬dents have been able to keep them; warm themselves. The school board will go broke if they have the ex¬pense of keeping the radiators warm.—Oswald. I. W. O. I-Wanna-O proudly announces the following pledges: Clyde Greenwell, John Kinard, Norman Carroll, Phil Thompson, Earl Rowse, Bob Emmett, Warren Stewart, Dick Bax¬ter, and Ferrin Larkin. These pledges attended their first meet¬ing on Wednesday, October 25, and we are sure that they will become splendid members. We also wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the fine work done bv the art department in preparing our new sign and our neckties. A SMILE It's a broad, open, friendly, frank /and alluring smile. It reminds one of the rising sun and will un-doubtedly go down in the pages of school history. It's a smile that's smiling all the time. "And though /kingdoms tall may rise and fall, this 'smile goes on forever."—O. M. P. S.: Can you guess whom it be¬longs to? Thursday's assembly was called to arder by President Grant Jensen, rhe first number on the program vas a vocal solo entitled "Absent" mg by Dorothy Dean Hoggan. len Miss Poulter gave an an-nouncement that all parents are in¬vited to the school next Wednes¬day at eight o'clock where an in-teresting entertainment will be pre¬sented. Gene Hawks and Dean Crandall played a trombone and cornet duet with Ruth La Vin Cragun accompanying. The first series of extemporaneous speeches was given. A cup bought by the speech department was to be presented to the class which had the two best speakers. Blaine Larson, representative of the Junior class, gave an excellent talk on: "Are the Cubans Justified in Asking Uncle Sam to Keep Hands Off?" Barbara Reeves of the senior class gave a fine speech on: "The Economic Benefits of the Recognition of Russia by the United States." Beverely Brown then played a cello solo entitled "Spanish Sere¬nade." This was accompanied by George Larkin. Jane Davis of the junior class and Jack Quayle of the senior class gave exceptionally good speeches. The junior member talked on "The In¬fluence of American Finance in Cuba," Jack gave his viewpoint on "The Prohibition Question in Utah." The cup was presented to the junior class. At the conclusion of the assembly, school songs and yells were given in honor of the football team which plays Box Elder High school today. —Emily. VALUE OF NEWSPAPER "Of all the amusements that can I possibly be imagined for a hard working man after a day's toil or in I its intervals there is nothing like an entertaining newspaper. It relieves his home of its dullness, and trans¬ports him to a gayer, livelier, and a more diversified world. It accompanies him in his next day's work, and if the paper be anything above! the very idlest and lightest, it gives him something to think of besides the mechanical drudgery of his every-day occupation—something he can enjoy while absent, and look forward with pleasure to return to." This lengthy quotation was recorded as the reply of Sir J. Herschell when he was asked what he thought of newspapers. The newspaper is the great edu¬cator of the nineteenth century. There is no force compared with it. It is a school master of the common people. From it they de¬rive the greatest part of their knowledge. These papers of the day have uses more adequate to the purposes of common life than more pompous and durable volumes. When we realize the importance , attached to the newspapers, we may readily see that the column or space which our O.H.S. notes occupies may add or detract from the good qualities of the editions. If the contributions offered would be only of the best and those which will interest not only the students of our school, but everyone who may read them, we may soon discover that our column is an asset to our newspaper and almost indispensable.— Barbara Taylor. MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1933. Opinions Offered On Ideal Band Sponsor Member Writes His Views On Sort of Appointee Desired OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor; Jack Bennett, Associate Editor; Emily Merrill, Blaine Larsen, Assistant Editors As a band member, I hope that our sponsor will be the best of all. I think the band should have a girl that takes a keen interest in music so that she may enjoy and understand her work with us. She should be one whom the band will be proud to point to. She should be friendly and courteous to thosfe be-low her as well as those above her station in life. Let us take Mrs. Roosevelt as an example. Mrs. Roosevelt works and studies with the lowest and most humble in the nation. What is her reward? Her reward is the adminration of the people. Let us have a sponsor who is "not too good for the rest of us. I'm sure this will make us have a more successful year.—A Band Member. ADAPTABILITY Many individuals preach about the numerous benefits of education but some forget to mention the most practical point of all—why education should be adapted to our everyday life. We can study all the fine arts, literature, music and dra¬matics that we want, but if we don't apply our learning to our vo-cation and avocations, what advan¬tage could possibly be derived? Cer¬tainly, we won't climb the ladder of success if the blunders which we were taught not to make are not corrected, and the knowledge which we gained from school isn't used. One may ask, "what does educa¬tion really mean?" Education is getting wisdom, understanding, strength, greatness, physically, men¬tally and morally. High schools and colleges will show you the way, give you instructions, and furnish you finer working tools; but the real education is the journey you make, the strength you develop and the service you perform with these in¬struments and tools. Thus, the re¬sults of ambition can only be at¬tained if the knowledge learned from school and experience is ap¬plied to life. Remember, students, diplomas and degrees are merely prepara¬tions. When one is through with books, the person is having a com¬mencement, not an end-ment. Though learning lightens the bur¬den greatly, the adaptability- of education is the ticket to success.— Emily Merrill. Dear students: The small talk Mr. Merrill gave in Thursday's as¬sembly made me think of a poem that Edgar A. Guest wrote. It is called "Self." I think that it illus¬trates very well the point he wanted to bring out. This much I know: ill gotten gain Is laden with unceasing pain. However covered his deceit, The trickster knows himself a cheat. Strangers, mistaking false for true, Still leave him wondering "if they knew." Men will some trivial wrong forget,} But he who caused it, feels it yet. Others mistaking sham for real, Know not what conscience can re¬veal. How vleverly you weave, Self is the one you can't deceive. I Better it is to lose the prize Than win by methods you despise. Beware the plaudits of the crowd, Of what you do let self be proud. No greater torture can be named Than of yourself to be ashamed. ART COLLECTION Have you seen the art collection in the library? Really it is most impressive. There are three pieces of inter¬esting statuary. As I am not a his¬torian, it is impossible for me to say for sure which famous citizens are represented. My guesses are: First, Abraham Lincoln; second, William Penn; and third, Patrick Henry. Also there are some gorgeous of paintings. The one I like best f a view of a canyon probably im southern Utah. Besides this there is a picture of trees in spring, one of a mountain glade with a shep-herd and his flock in the back¬ground, one of a red clay mesa and several others. I wonder why there is such a large concentration of art in the library. To take the student's mind from his work or to inspire him to better work. Probably the latter.— M.M.W. SWEET SLEEP One night I was ambitious; I studied hard and long, 'Till I knew all my lessons— Not one of them was wrong. I went to school the next day; The teachers praised me, so, I woke up with a great start— 'Twas all a dream, you know. —Elizabeth Parkinson. NEW PLEDGES Tri Delta convened recently for the purpose of selecting its pledges, 'ive juniors and two seniors were losen from the many girls brought 1. We are happy to announce at this time, the names of our new pledges. The seniors are: O'Etta Carr and Virginia Carter. The jun¬iors are Ruth Allred, Helen Berg- lund, Mary Olson, Lucille Miller, and Martha Mumford. We feel very fortunate in getting such a fine group of girls. We certainly wish to congratulate our pledges and we hope they will enjoy being in the club as much as we enjoy having them.—R.L.H. QUEEN OF SKIES A full moon came into view at the beginning of November. It is a welcome visitor at any time. While the sun furnishes the natural light of the earth during the day, the moon furnishes that during the night. A certain type of people is called "Moon Worshippers" The people comprising this group are some-thing like the ancient people who worshipped the forces of nature as did the Gauls. They often became so crazed under the spell of the moon that they became partiallv in¬sane. The title applied to this in¬sanity is "Moon Madness." Under its influence people have committed the most morbid and hideous crimes. Such actions are committed under the magic of the full moon. Even the most sane people in our midst may be affected with this same malady. However, the re¬sults of such occurrences afford happiness to him or her involved in the incident. When some people attach so giuch importance to our "night watch¬man" we should all appreciate its beauty. Just imagine a cold, crisp winter night when high banks of snow are piled somewhat carelessly- over the landscape. (I hope this thought is a bit advanced. Thei brilliancy and beauty added to this scene by the light of the moon are almost undescribable. The size of the moon or that part which we see at various intervals is different. The sizes which are visible to us are half, quarter, full, etc. Imagine the condition of the earth with quarter, half and full suns. The plants, animals, includ¬ing the humans, would probably not] grow up or mature. Sunlight is- necessary for the growth of mostj everything. There would be no green things as the vegetation ob¬tains this color, called chlorophyl located in the leaf. The earth would certainly be greatly ohanged in condition to what it is today if such an occur¬rence took place. Then let's hope that the sun and moon don't join the NRA and leave us in the dark.— Barbara Taylor.
