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.
