Greater Support Sought For Band, Bearing Title Of life Of The School Biggest Thrill of Career In Scholastic Work Held Possible OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette. Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor Q The most important part of the the school activity, but is thought of the least, is the Ogden High school band. The band has approximately 69 members and seems to be very well balanced in instrumentation. I will wager all my books, pens, and pencils that if the students will get behind and support the band, they Mil get the greatest thrill of their Ir-chool days. In reality the band is Itbe life of the school. Let's get be¬hind them, give them all the encouragement and support we have. MY LOVE FOR SCHOOL School holds for me the joys and anticipations of my young life, without school I should never be able to exist. Just to be able to get my, Iessons is something I wouldn't give up for all the peanuts in America. To be able to go to each class and Hfpt an assignment that would kill m horse, oh, such joys were never bestowed upon the kings and queens of any time. God has blessed me, In that he permits me to go to each nd every one of my seven classes and get bawled out seven times each day. Then if I'm very lucky I may get to go into the office so that Mr. Merrill can tell me that I'm not worth the first five minutes I ever lived. Oh. yes! there is the great oleasure of going through the halls and getting pushed around like last year's grape peelings. Maybe if luck sticks with me I may fall down the steps once or even twice a week. Oh, yes! but the reward of It all? I get to see her after every period! Yes I love school.—Orchid. OUR HAPPIEST DAYS School days are the happiest days of one's life. At school one is con¬tinually meeting new people anc tmaking new friends, especially in schools as large as ours. Our days lire spent in what some students call "hours of misery," but most of us agree that it is a very easy life, In spite of the long hours of study required to keep from going behind. Those students who do not enjoy '' school are usually the lazy, shiftless V Students of the school, who find: I themselves very miserable after school days are past either because they have been so lazy in school that they are unable to get work, or they are too lazy to find work. There are those who go to school to attain something for use in later life. These students are the ones who really enjoy school days. They "work when they work and play when they play"—the only way to obtain real enjoyment in things. They are the ones who are success¬ful after school days are over, and they begin to go out lor work, but this does not always mean happy days. The boss may be a grouch, a slav-driver, or he may possess any itoagiteable trait of character, : which would not make life nearly so iL pleasant as it was during school days. Work becomes a mechanical process and is done to help save the Job of the person who wants money and something to do to keep him out of mischief. Students let's make names for ourselves. Let's all have an aim and a purpose that will make our lives worthwhile. Let's maice the most of lour school days and show our elders 'that we do appreciate what they have done, do, and will continue to do for us—A Student. MUTTERINGS Doubt deadens. Your best capital is yourself. To win and keep friends, be one. Hope, of course—but hustle, also. Dream, yes. But, also, wake up! Remember her birthday, but for¬get her age. An overloaded stomach is a weight on your brain. Oaks spring from acorns, yes— but not overnight. Common sense is the foundation of achievement. Keep your courage up and your temper down. Colleges turn out some good men —in their freshman year. Acting without thinking is like shooting without aiming. —Charlotte Daily. CANTATA DATED A Christmas cantata will be pre¬sented by the music department! December 20. School play officers have been selected as follows: Jim Lazenby, business manager; George Low, assistant business manager; and Mark Child' as stage manager.— Clifford Thorne. FORGETFULNESS Have you ever locked your locker and then had to open it again be¬cause you forgot one of your books or your fountain pen? To be sure you have been in this same fix many times. This fault that we all have is known as forgetfulness. It is not so bad to forget one's be¬longings once in a while but how far are we to allow this trait to carry us? We may not notice forgetfulness so much now but do not forget that it might be carried throughout our lives. A person who I cannot remember his belongings in his younger days is sure to forget them in his later years. The thing for us to do is to cultivate a sense of remembrence in our early days that will carry us on into our later lives.—Blaine Larsen. TYPING The world in which we live re¬minds one of a hive of busy bees. Every person engaged in the world of business has a part to play. The entire country has been made a place of busy commercialism. Thus when we leave high school we enter a world that we have never before known, the business world. The statement has been made that the average pupil enters this world totally unprepared. However the typing department of the school 'has proven that this viewpoint of the business man in regard to the high school graduate is for the most part a mistake. This department offers a course of study that not only makes the student fit to enter I the employ of business firms but jmakes him better qualified to meet the tasks that arise out of everyday business.—Blaine Larsen. TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1933, Cravat Often Reflects Mental State Of Youth, Observes O. H. S. Writer OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor Colors And Figures Are Seen In Remarkable Array At School You surely do see a lot of different colored ties in this day and age, colors we girls would never think of wearing. Some of the ties are plain, some figured, and some even have big red roses in them. The color of the tie a boy wears flaunts to the world and acts the same as a barometer, recording his moods, feelings and action. If a fellow wears a red tie, he is feeling very gallant; if he wears a dark blue one things aren't so well, while if he wears a light blue tie he is surely very frivolous; a green tie tells the world he lacks knowledge, but wants to learn. No tie at all indicates an overgrown Adam's apple, and a black tie means he belongs to the R.O.T.C.—Bar¬bara Handy. AT CLOSE OF TERM A speech prepared by a student who is going to ask his teacher to raise his grade: "Mr. , I came to ask you if you would mind taking the time to raise my grade, since I have worked harder, learned more, and spent much more time on my work the last six weeks than I did the previous term. I know that my test marks aren't any higher; but you see Mr. , it took me until after the tests were given to clear¬ly understand the lesson. And, as you know, sir, one must learn by mistakes. Since the material is so marked in my memory, it will also help me to do much better on my next term's work." The speech as the student deliv¬ered it: "Mr. , I I came to see if you had any spare time to talk to me. You see, sir, I was just kinda wondering, if—now, please don't be angry—I don't really mean to—to presume. Well uh, I wuz thinking, since I rather believe that you've taught me a—a—little bit more, and I kinda—kinda think I understand my work a little better than you— uh, gave me credit for knowing, if —if you would very terribly mind to—to raise my—my grade a little, little, little bit higher."—Emily Mer¬rill. RADIATOR ROMANCES When we juniors were at Junior High school, we learned of a new term which was known as "radiator romancing." Although we did not come into direct contact with this hobby (?) we were told by mem-bers of high school that the study and practice of this sport was very much in evidence at the institu-tion of higher learning. Naturally, when we came to high school, we expected to see flaming examples of this radiator romanc¬ing day by day. Either the sport has gone out of fashion or the boys are becoming lazy for we juniors have failed to see as yet any ex¬amples of the pastime that was supposed to have taken high school by storm. Where are all the Romeos and Juliets that are sup¬posed to keep the radiators of the school warm? A group of dumb juniors have t'o be shown before they can understand, so let's have some radiator romancing from the love (?) stricken seniors.—Blaine Larsen. INQUIRY MADE Dear Nose All: Why can't the ed¬itors start a column of their own, and give someone else a chance to get his articles in? There are plenty of interesting writeups that are put in. Why can't they be published? Don't you think we need a variety in persons? I am not criticizing, but merely suggest¬ing.—Squint Eeye. Dear Squint Eye: The editors of the Notes have tried to be impar¬tial in their choosing material for the Notes and are indeed sorry if any good material has been over¬looked. As for their monopolizing the Notes for themselves I think you are misinformed on the sub¬ject'. I am indeed in a position to judge and I think they have not overworked in writing articles but I know they have had a large field to choose from for material; Maybe that's why yours have not been in. —Nose All. P.S. One reason why many articles have not been published is because they have to be in the box a day and a half before t'hey come out in the paper. Louise: Where did you get the shotgun, Hugh? Hugh: Your father gave it to me to remember you by. Howard: My father was a great western politician in his day. Henry: What did he run for? Howard: The border. Harvey: Men of my type are not running loose. Louise: Of course no, that is what the police department is for. I wonder why— The radiator romances are not so hot this year. The sixth period gym class is so noisy. The library ceiling has not fallen , down yet. Old Dog Train is the theme song of a certain little boy—W.S. Mae West is so popular in our school. "Units" were ever brought into existence. A certain little gal is always late for sixth period study hall, and then is off like lightning at the end? D. S. Nose All does not know all.—L.S. |
