Show WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1933. Two Ogdenites In Group; Weber Gets One Representative Mecham And Kennedy Named As Outstanding Backs of Year In Northern Sector; Higgins of Ogden Best Pivot Player; Dieu of Warriors Named As End Earl Ferguson's Box Elder Bees, northern division football champions place four men on the annual Standard-Examiner all-star grid ma¬chine. Ogden is honored with two members of the mythical aggrega¬tion. Weber High, Bear River, North Cache, Preston and Logan each place a singre representative; on the squad. The 1933 aggregation stands out; as one of the best mythical aggregations selected in the past ten years. The champions concluded their regular season with five victories and no defeats. They battle Car¬bon in one of the semi-final games for the state championship at Brig¬ham City Friday. Two backs of the division were outstanding during the regular sea- yon and will be seriously considered for all-state posts. They are Mech¬am of Box Elder and Kennedy of Ogden High. CLASSY PLAYER Mecham, a great field general, handled the Bees in major league style in each pf the contests played by the Bees. His all around play was sensational. Whether he plowed off tackle or around the end he always managed to make yardage. Kennedy of Ogden High sparkled in every battle of the league cam¬paign. His ball toting against Box Elder and Weber was colorful. In the Weber game he bagged more than 130 yards from scrimmage. He deserves to be ranked with the former grid elite of Ogden and is certainly all-state timber. Kennedy is placed at fullback on Minson of Box Elder and Nash of Preston, capable athletes, are named as the running mates for Kennedy and Mecham. This quartet would 'do credit to any scholastic team in Jules Dieu of Webster and Hansen of Box Elder are placed at the wings. In the opinion of most critics Dieu had a slight margin in all-around ability over Kinnard of Ogden, an¬other end seriously considered for a post on the team. Hyer of North Cache and Egbert of Box Elder get the call at the ; tackle positions. These two men were powerful on both offensive ana i defensive play during the entire sea¬son. Lewis of Logan and Richards of Bear River rate the guard positions. Lewis was one of the main cogs in the play of the Grizzlies and Rich¬ards stood out brilliantly in the many games played by the Bears. Higgins of Ogden was by long odds the best pivot man in the di¬vision. He snapped the ball with fine precision and was a tower of strength on defense. : Competition in the northern division race was keener than evert during the past campaign and com¬petition for posts on the team was also spirited. Kinnard, DeCorso and Greenwell of Ogden High; Thomas of Weber; Hall of Logan; Mlaero, Johnson and Warburton of Box Elder are all ac¬corded honorable mention for their splendid play during the season. WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1933. Writer Advises Greater Pride In Privilege Of Wearing Army Uniform Would Like To See School Awkward Squad Go Into Oblivion OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES < Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor To the average individual there are a great many kinds of pride. The normal person has to have personal, family and civic pride. With us, the matter of personal and civic pride if of paramount importance in our daily lives. Most of us will agree that we must at all times, be neat and tidy in our personal ap¬pearance. We will also agree that we should have pride in our city; our country, and our flag. This we know as national pride. But students, have you ever thought of combining the two to create a more thorough sense of personal and national pride? An excellent opportunity to practice this idea is afforded the cadets of our school. We have at Ogden High more than four hundred boys en¬rolled in the R.O.T.C. Only once since school began have all cadets reported to drill with complete uni¬forms. There, fellows, lies your chance to develop that idea of per¬sonal and national pride. The cad¬ets wear the uniform of the United States army and should be justly proud of the opportunity. If we are to be good soldiers, we should at all times wear all of the uniform that was issued to us at the first of the year. Because of personal pride, you would not think of walking down the street with part of your civilian clothing missing. In the same sense we should not come to school without our uniforms. Let's try to abolish the awkward squad, fellows.—Blaine Larson. ON LIGHTER SIDE Mr. Merrill: I have heard from many of the students that they would like the school notes much better if thes contained a bit more humor. I know there has been quite a bit of this type of reading materia: handed into the notes lately, but for some reason it has not reached the paper. The students and, I believe, the public in general would enjoy the notes much more if each crowd of your students, and there are many different crowds composed of the students that chum together, would have one of their number hand a bit of humor about the happenings of their crowd into the notes. I do not mean to say that the notes are not being run properly, they are very interesting, but a small bit of humor each night would help to improve them greatly. Hoping for more humor.—A Stu¬dent. Note:—Students have been asked by the city editor and Mr. Merrill to spice up the notes a bit with good humor. SLUFFERS Considerable trouble has been ex¬perienced so far by the Ogden High school from supposed sluffers. Many, students have apparently found more happiness at the theatre than , in the classroom. When you are contemplating upon staying away, from school, please remember students, that if we are to become honest and upright citizens in later, life, we must work. We must plod on from day to day during our school, life. Daily preparation at school means effectual preparation forJ. later life. We all attend school for, the purpose of improving our mental ability. This is fine, as a cardinal aim. However, surrounding this; aim should come the determine resolution to become a fighter. Man times it has been proved that the! brilliant, but lazily inclined student is often overtaken by his slow, but plodding classmate. AN INTERESTING VISITOR Probably the most interesting pe¬riods Monday were the second and third period Spanish classes. A iistinguished visitor, Enrique Cor¬nier y Las Curain, gave a talk on :he customs and ideas of the Mex¬ican people. Having graduated from high school, he is now attending Weber college. After completing his education there, he intends to go to one of our eastern universities. Although he has taken only two years of English, he talks very plain¬ly and distinctly. Our visitor con¬trasted the love making of Amer¬ica and the love making of Mexico, told of the Mexican customs, and explained the difference between the higher Mexicans and those that are commonly seen in western Am¬erica. Although he had only one hour in each class, we received many new ideas about the Mex¬ican people. Both classes are await¬ing the time when he will again speak to them about his country and his travels. On his next visit he will sing several Spanish songs and will be accompanied by a guitar.—Re¬porter R. U. MAKING GOOD Word has been received from Charles Murphy, that red haired heart breaker, who recently joined the navy, that in less than a week he has received a commission as platoon leader, with five squads under his command. This is equival¬ent to first lieutenant in our R. O. T. C. He has taught them the fac¬ings, squad movements, manual of arms, etc., in one week. In his letter Charles says that the navy is one of the finest things he knows. The boys are as fine a bunch of young men as you can find anywhere. One of his comments is as follows: "If folks could see this place they would certainly have to take off their hats to us." Charles says that 700 men are mustered into training each month, and one out of each nineteen men gets into the navy. Eight out of every ten men don't know a thing about drill, and yet some people say that military training in the high school is of no value! Ogden High again wishes to take this opportunity to wish Charles all the luck in the world. More pow¬er to you. P.S.—B. B. won't have to write to a water soaked gob after all. FOUND IN DICTIONARY I-Wanna-O—A wooly type of animal resembling the African ape. The head is large and gives an appear¬ance of the body being overbalanced. S.O.S.—A species that uses the safety razor to advantage on their faces, leaving the hair on top rath¬er long and combed back undoubt¬edly for the purpose of giving them an intelligent appearance that they otherwise would not have. Alpha Sigma—A type resembling the grizzly bear in certain char¬acteristics such as growling without biting and sleeping in the winter.— Merrieweither. JUST TO REMIND YOU A.D.M. has been keeping up with the times. Maybe you have been wondering who the girls are that i have been playing such exciting volleyball games during noon hours. Well don't worry any longer, for "they are the girls of A.D.M. Oh! no we're not so slow. If you have watched these games you will know what I mean. The games have been played with Carpe, Gregg Artists and Tri Delta, all of which have been won by a good margin. Monday we played Phi Lamba Tau and much to our surprise, we won. The score was 26 to 22. This vic¬tory made us the champions of the interclub volleyball teams—D.S. |
