Show THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1933. Much Activity Shown By Girls' Debating Club of Ogden High This Season Ability In Speaking and Also Procedure Knowledge Required OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett. Associate Editor Boys and girls of Ogden High school: The question before the house this evening is "Resolved that Congress, the girls' debating club of OHS, has been working this year." We of the affirmative stoutly maintain that we have been carry¬ing on very well thus far. Each Monday evening, an interesting program is presented either by the members or students on the waiting list. Numerous debates have been given, on many different subjects, Kind we have heard some very intel-lectual talks on the principles of debating. When you consider how much we have done this year, you will agree that we are surely carry¬ing on very well. Boys and girls, we of the negative wish to ask our friends of the affirmative why, if they have work¬ed so hard, haven't they taken in any new members? It seems to us that Congress is rather slow in knowing her own mind. Well, as affirmative speaker, I wish to remind our opponents that Congress is not like social clubs. We do not take members in because of their popularity or for other reas¬ons of that sort. To become a mem¬ber of Congress, it is necessary to prove your ability in the art of de¬bating, and to show your knowledge of parlimentary procedure. We are proud to announce that thus far Heien Richardson, Marie Manning and Alice Smith have filled the above requirements, and are now members of our worthy club. Although this is unusual, we, of the negative, see that the affirma¬tive is correct, so we shall give them * the debate. We thank you.—M.P. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE The basketball schedule for 1933- I 34 has been drawn. It shows that we play ten games this year, five ita home and five away. The home games are: Jan. 12, Weber; Jan. 26, fc Logan: Feb. 2, South Cache; Feb. 16. Box Elder and Feb. 28, Bear River. Remember, student body tickets rill be good at all these games. COUNCIL REPORT Regular council meeting was calld to order by President Jensen; the oil was called, the minutes were ead and approved. Mr. Merrill addressed council, jiving us facts about our financial situation and difficulties council will lave to carry on school activities. A new club, Ex Libris, was put uner jurisdiction of council. The date for the Christmas dance was set for Thursday, December 21. The assembly Friday will be given by the Modern Language club. There will be a meeting of club presidents and advisors Thursday. Council was then adjourned by a motion.—Clifford Thorne, secretary. AN OPPORTUNITY Students, little do you realize that! the years you are spending in Og¬den High school are a great factor in the shaping of your lives. Now is the time, that counts, when success or failure is determined, for now you have the opportunity to learn, in the future you will look back; some of you will be thankful that you made the most of your oppor¬tunity; others of. you will be wish¬ing that you could make a fresh start. It is too bad that so many of you will not realize until middle life that the time to set a goal and work toward it is in youth. Don't make the same mistake thousands of oth¬ers have made. Remember this: Af¬ter you have thrown away all your opportunities, there is no beginning anew. Now is the time to begin and to begin right.—Le Ida Roberts. CRITICISM OF NOTES As an ardent reader of the Notes I am offering a few suggestions to contributors in the following article. First, writers should try to get away from writing compositions that tell students to lock their lockers, to be punctual, to be honest, etc. Al¬though this type of article may con¬tain information that should help a few, it is generally not of interest to the majority and is usually passed up without being read. Furthermore, these articles give the public the idea that Ogden High school is made up of a lot of forgetful, dishonest, and sluffing rogues. Second, there is too much meaningless trash that is handed in under the label of humor. Humor is good and adds spice to the notes, but the writing of worthless junk is entirely overdone. What is more, this type of writing doesn't convey to outside readers that our school is entirely worthwhile, and that its students aren't a bunch of hoodlums Third, write compositions that are interesting and easy to read. Write reports of clubs so that they are of interest. Write your experiences so that they contain amusement for everyone and not your friends alone. Well, in spite of all my criticism I have a favorable comment to make —the poetry found in the Notes is excellent, what little there is of it, and more would be appreciated.— G.N. Editor's Note: Dear G.N.: Why don't you take heed of your article and write some¬thing which would in your opinion, be of interest to all the students. VERBAL PORTRAITS Class: Senior girl; hair, dark brown, curly; eyes, blue; height, five feet four inches; ambition, Eng¬lish teacher; weakness, a blond; hobby, sewing buttons.

FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1933. School Strength Seen In Ability To Accept Defeat Without 'Alibis' Ogden High Endeavoring To Preserve Ideals of Sportsmanship OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette, Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor A team that has lost a game but whose attitude is one of fairness is sure to take the lead. If students give excuses for not being able to win, they are lowered in the eyes of the other schools. These. petty alibis show how little some people value unity, good will and under¬standing between schools. A good sport can always be trust¬ed as a friend. He is never really a loser; in other words, he has con-quered himself and has shown his strength through courtesy to his opponents. Ogden High has always held sportsmanship as an ideal. This aim has molded the students into a, group that can win or lose cheerrlly, without jeers, boasts and loud denunciations of the rival team. Students, let's keep our reputation of sportsmanship. — Le Ida Roberts. A DAILY EXPERIENCE I was in a hurry. I elbowed my way down the hall. The crowd was stupendous. Even I had a difficult time gaining my destination. I had to break through two currents of moving populace to deposit a book with the librarian. I poked my head out of the door. The crowd was as prodigious as ever. I lowered my head and dashed through the lines like a football player. After much effort I reached the stairs and pre¬pared to descend. The crowd had not decreased. I painfully manipu¬lated my feet in the well known manner. But, alas, my foot did not make the correct twist. I missed the step and stumbled down the re¬maining ones with a clatter equal to a thunder storm. I fell in the proverbial heap of adolescent arms, legs and eyes! The crowd is still stupendous. I am still sitting in a heap trying to untangle myself. — A. G. THIS AND THAT A certain group of girls consist¬ing of Dorthy Dean Hoggan, Bar¬bara Lindquist, Maxine Naisbitt and Dorothy Bowman ha- banded to¬gether to ask Jerry Seal to make a definite choice among them. Which one will you choose, Jerry? Wonder what was going on at" Salt Lake a couple of weeks ago. Ken and Reed were the honored guests at East High. At least some pretty girls thought so. Mary, you'd better write more of those thrilling notes to Ken or you'll lose him. I'd advise Wilma to stop talking with Cliff or Reed will move to Salt Lake. "A junior should honor a senior" says many a senior; therefore Dick, you better leave R. L. V. C. to Toots. It will be O. K. with you, I know. You will find plenty more waiting for you. Gosh, gee, oh hum, it is great to be in love, isn't it Grant? Just in case that you can't find Grant, look up Helen Farley. She knows all about it. I think it is a shame that the junior pledges of I-Wannan-O have to go to Sajt Lake to find pretty girls. I'll not razz them too much because I think they have learned their lesson. If you don't believe me just ask them if they had a good time in Salt Lake. Emily surely does like that Wash¬ington Forum bracelet. Wonder who it belongs to. Maybe Blaine can tell you, he used to own it once. Before Valine Checketts throws a rolling pin at me I'd better quit. Remember, folks, count ten before you lose your temper. — Burp II.
