More Clubs Needed At Ogden High, Observes Writer, Using Figures Suggestion Offered That New Organizations Be Formed OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor The statement has been made that man is a social being. Thus, it is only natural that humans should form together for mutual benefit. At Ogden High there are a number of clubs made up of members of the student body. It is only proper that there should be social clubs within our school. They tend to improve the social spirit of the school, The only objection to our clubs is that they are not representative of the student body as a whole. Out of the 1000 students, only about 150 of them are members of school clubs., The rest of the student body must, go throughout school without then aid of social association. What can be done to assure these common members of the student body a part, in the social system of the school. Why doesn't somebody organize some school clubs that will represent the whole school? Why should club membership be limited to students of social standing? Where are the other 850 students of Ogden High? Why don't they organize clubs, since it is impossible to enter the other clubs? Is the whole school to be run by a few club members? If the non-club members would be¬come interested in their own rights we should cease having the tail wag the dog.—Blaine Larsen. ALIBIS FOR HOUSEWORK Girls, at last the only way of being exempted from housework has been found! First, in the morning when you rise, remember that by all means your bed must be prop¬erly aired, and shouldn't be made until the afternoon. Then, by the time you come to school the bed will be made since the inhabitants of the household will have gotten tired of looking at the unmade bed during the morning. Before supper, suddenly think of your lessons which need immediate attention, and concentration; this no one should interrupt your line of thought. When dishes are to be washed, immediately start to indus¬triously practice on the piano. No one will call your attention to the dishes then, for they will be so pleased that you are practicing. If your mother says, "Mary, you forgot to dust the mantle" tell her that you are taught in hygiene that dust irritates the nasal passages and if she would mind asking your sister to do the minor job. When the family tells you that you must iron, lightly scorch the collar on one of your brother's or your fath¬er's shirts. In exasperation the family wil pronounce you guilty of imbecility and you will be sent to bed to sleep soundly until the next morning.— Emily Merrill. ALL STATE The student body, the football team and Coach Simkins were in¬deed happy and honored when it was announced that Maurice Ken¬nedy, Ogden High halfback, was awarded the fullback position on the mythical all-state football team. Ogden is proud to have as one of its students such a fine football player and all-round fellow as Maurice. Included in the all-state selection jwere three other Ogden High men, John Kinnard, third team, Leonard Higgins, second team and Earl Rouse, honorable mention. We take this opportunity to again congratulate Maurice, John, Leon¬ard, and Earl and also the rest of the members of our team who help¬ed these fellows obtain all-state recognition.—Blaine Larsen. CONDUCT Now, students, don't look at the title of this article and then turn away in disgust, but read it through and digest its contents. As we are the senior students of the city, barring only Weber collegiates, we should strive to set an ex-ample for the younger pupils. Why don't we? I have heard many com¬plaints concerning the conduct of Ogden High school's students. One of the most common com¬plaints is that in regard to assem¬bles. Do you disorderly people ever stop to think that the speakers on the programs are doing their best to interest you? Then why don't you at least give them the courtesy and respect they deserve by keep¬ing quiet and listening to their words. One good rule for success in life is "be a good listener." Take heed, students. Then, how about the conduct of our student's who ride the street cars? Consider, you big strong boys, that there are some girls and some teachers who also ride. On one oc¬casion to my knowledge, the car was rocked so severely that the con¬ductor found it necessary to stop, thus delaying the car five minutes. Remember, these cars are for public convenience, not' just for high school students. Give the public courtesy and respect and you will better your] name and your school's name.—M.: P. MEDITATIONS Meditations af a student, seventh period. Oh, whatta class, what a bore, (yawn). Dear me, I wish I didn't have this class. I wonder what I'll say if she calls on me. I guess I'll have to look interested. Oh, whatta subject! Why doesn't Jean over there get a hair cut. (yawn). I shouldn't stay up so late. Well, here[goes. Oh, me: Meditations of a teacher, seventh period: Oh, what a class—what a bore. How I would like to yawn. I wish I didn't have this class. I wonder what I can talk about. I suppose I'll have to appear inter¬ested. Oh, such a study! Why does¬n't Jean over there get a haircut? Gee, I wish I dared to yawn. I shouldn't have stayed up so late. Well here goes. P.S. This refers to no class, teach¬er, student or school (?) in partic¬ular.—A.G. HERE AND THERE This year the junior typewriting students use the Columbus method of typing. They discover the keys, and then they land on them. I'm just a "Gigolo" says poor Wesely C. who had to escort three ladies home in a single evening. When wondering little girls look into Clyde Chambers' eyes and say,: "Are you really an artist?" he mere¬ly grunts and says: "Yeah, I draw files." Mark is so wrapped up in being drum major that he carries a whistle to parties so as to keep the guests in order. Jim L. is getting that way about someone. I wonder who she is.—Big Eared Aw-ee.

Education Compared To Mold Into Which Young Lives Are Being Poured Does Not Consist Alone of Material Gained From Books OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor The question may be asked: What is education? We are not cer¬tain what education is but it cannot be learning from books or a memorization from books of the things that are interpreted by professors. I think education is the mold that we pour ourselves into, although we sometimes get mixed up and re¬gard the mold as more important than what we pour into it. There¬fore to get any results worth any-thing the mixture has to be right. Some cast a statue of beauty that endures forever, but it depends on the materials and also on the mold. . The mind has either a good lusty appetite or else it does not and cannot pick things up as easily. When you are being taught a thing remember it and don't let it just slip past without giving it a thought or two. To move among the quick and living and not among the dead is education. And the education that we keep is that which we give away. —Leatha Malouf. THANKSGIVING Some folks on Thanksgiving day Sat down to milk and bread; Sincerely, over this humble meal, Each one bowed his head; "Thanks, Father, for giving us this chance To drain the 'cup of cheer'; Thanks most of all for a happy home, And friends so near and dear."— Elizabeth Parkinson. CHEMISTRY IMPORTANT Of all the subjects in high school, chemistry is one which is extremely important, for this study makes our life more enjoyable by teaching us how and why the elements of this earth act as they do. We already knew that there are different kinds of metals, acids, and salts; that there are various gases in existence; that certain kinds of foods have a definite relation to our health; that the world is filled with vitally important substances, and beautiful creations; but only by being taught the reason why certain substances are metals, acids or salts; how dif¬ferent gases are formed and why they are essential or injurious; the basic reason why certain elements in food affect our bodies; or why certain substances on our earth are essential; and how beautiful crea¬tions such as diamonds are form¬ed—will we fully appreciate and enjoy the fact how truly wonderful is the world in which we live. Not only does chemistry make our life more pleasurable; but, it is this knoweldge which has developed our high civilization. For medicine is dependent upon chemistry; the learning by which scientists have given us our marvelous inventions is based upon chemistry; and, the knowledge of what our bodies are composed; and thus which foods we should eat to furnish more of the substances needed to build our health is obtained from chemistry. Because of these facts, every high school student should take this sub¬ject—Emily Merrill. WHAT A FIGGER! What a shapely "mess' I was in when the style censors came to the conclusion that the fair damsel of this day and age had to have that much talked of thing called "figger," meaning the ins and outs of the body. The nineteen thirty-three "figger" was not along the round curved lines of the sweet pickle but on the lines of a sophisticated tooth-pick drawn in about the mid¬dle with a bit of wide banding. Do you get the shape of the subject? To cover the subject completely, clothes must be taken into consider¬ation. Sport frocks are worn for late afternoon adventures while af¬ternoon and evening frocks have a bit more feminine touch. I was told that the only way in which I could acquire the "figger" needed to wear the debutante styles was for me to diet. My parents were away on a vacation so I immediately sent to magazines, and newspapers for a copy of their printed edition on dieting. The diet I followed read thus: First day, can of pineapple; second day, can of tomatoes; third day, quart of milk; fourth day, little meat and potatoes; fifth day, can of grapefruit; sixth day, quart of buttermilk; seventh day, can of to¬matoes. You can see that the diet doesn't say not to eat anything else be¬sides what is listed. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." So—I ate an apple a day to keep the doctor away and lo and behold! At the end of the week I had gained a pound. My girl friend started to diet with me but on the third day her mother had fried chicken for dinner and she abruptly quit the diet leaving me to suffer alone. Well, when I found myself weigh¬ing a pound more after dieting for a whole week I began exercising daily. Each morning at seven-thirty a. m. I would crawl out of bed, exercise with the teacher. Then at eight a. m. I would get back into bend and sleep until ten a. m. I had succeeded in losing the extra pound at the end of a month. Mae West, the life saver of the storm, appeared upon the deck and the ninteen thirty-four "figger" is to be that curved body of flesh and muscle. Isn't that wonderful! Now I can eat, sleep and be merry without having to worry about the "figger." — Arlene. CONGRATULATIONS Lee K. Parkinson a former stu¬dent of Ogden High, who has been doing post-graduate work here for two years, is studying art in San Francisco. Lee has great ability along this line and is certain to at¬tain success if he keeps up his ambitious and industrious attitude. At the World's fair this summer Mr. Parkinson applied his skill in draw¬ings representing various buildings and scenes. When exhibited is the Carnegie library these sketches re¬ceived many favorable comments. We all wish you luck and success in your undertaking, Lee, and when you are famous maybe you will hire one of us poor unfortunates to sweep your studio or clean your brushes — A. G. UNLUCKY DAY Were I a turk You bet I would Make each remaining day As long and pleasant as I could. The thirtieth is —Thanksgiving day. —Alan C.
