WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1933. CANTATA TO BE SUNG PRIOR TO O. H. S. HOLIDA Y Will Be Offered Both At Assembly And Night Performance OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette. Editor Jack Bennett, Associate Editor Aa a fitting close for school, Mr. Glenn Hanson, our music instructor, xomises us the best music ever Ijffered at the high school. This will be a cantata, rendered before the student body at regular assembly Thursday, Dec. 21, and will be repeated at night for the benefit of our patrons. Keep the date in mind -Dec. 21. POLICY EXPLAINED Opden High School Notes, the courtesy of The Ogden Standard - newspaper of Ogden High, is published every school day through the Examiner. Yet the students do not appreciate the efforts of the editors of both the school notes and The Standard-Examiner in their attempt to please the public. The contents of a newspaper is one of the things which cannot please all its readers. In an attempt to please all its readers it is divided Unto sections, one for every type of person, such as the following: Cartoons and humor for those who like to laugh. Social news for people who like to find out what their neighbors are doing and what the community is doing in the entertaining of the public. Sport section for the athletes and other people interested. A good publication of a newspaper depends on the kind oi news which comes over the wires and through the editors of the newspaper. So if the right kind of material is not dropped in the box of our newspaper, the editors cannot make a good publication of the Ogden High School Notes. Therefore by putting in the best sort of material, we can raise the standard of the school notes and by doing so help The Standard-Examiner. — Editor in Cheese. MILITARY DEPARTMENT The following promotion is hereby announced in the reserve officers' training corps, Ogden Senior High school, effective Dec. 12: Batt. B8Mfteant Major: Corporal Gus Becker, Company A. — C. W. Dyer, Major, Infantry, P. M. S. & T. THE BEAUTY OF IT In this age of iron and invention, Bvhy has not a situation of this kind been mentioned before? A machine Its needed that would, upon awakening, gently lift us from bed, without disturbing our slumber, of course; wash, dress, feed us, and carry us, ever so peacefully, to a waiting vehicle which in turn would carry us to school. Here we would be daintily lifted from our auto and transported through the portals of education and deposited in a com¬bination desk and kiddle car with a steering wheel. In this contraption we could glide through the halls with undisturbed ease and would undoubtedly arrive at class on time. Special elevators would be installed to carry us thither and whither, and one would not find it necessary to remove oneself from his oar until after dismissal, when he would reach home by the same method he left. Ah—for the mind of an in¬ventor.—Lazy Bones. SYMPATHY Again we are called to express our sympathy to a bereaved classmate. Today it is our good friend Reed Hoxer, who has lost thru death his beloved father. Only those who have been bereft pan appreciate how sad, how heavy and how deep the loss. We hope, Reed, that you may at least draw a little bit of consolation through knowing that we are think¬ing of you and mourning with you in this sad ordeal. ASSEMBLIES Assemblies are becoming more interesting every week. Do you re¬member how shy and aloof everyone seemed at the beginning of the year? No? Well I do. All the girls were seated on one side of the hall and all the boys on the other. But since "radiator romances" the two have combined somewhat, and it is quite interesting to watch them save seats for each other every Friday. This change may not be so favor¬able to the speakers, for it seems that the students pay more atten-tion to each other than they should. After all, some of the speakers' words may sink into their sub¬conscious minds and thus come in handy in the future. Anyway lets hope so.—E. M. HAVE YOU HEARD— Dorothy Bowman's "Why don't you come up and see me some time?" Ruth's "You old meanie?" Mr. E. Smith's "The eyes have it?" Jerry's "Can't you take a joke?"

Students Will Prepare Gift Baskets Holding Food, Toys, Clothing School Hopes To Prove That True Christian Spirit Prevails OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette. Editor Jack Bennett. Associate Editor This year, as in previous years, each advisory class aranges Christ¬mas baskets to be filled with food of every sort from canned peas, carrots, beets, juicy and pleasing to the palate, to tempting meats, po-tatoes, bread, butter, delicious veg¬etables, desserts, and all of that which would compose balanced and tasty meals during the Christmas holidays for the needy. Also, toys for children, suitable wearing ap¬parel, and even household articles will be among the variety of pres¬ents in these baskets. Since there are thirty-three advisory rooms, there will be thirty-three baskets which Ogden high school will give to different families. Each member in the class will contribute what¬ever he can or wishes to the basket for his class. This idea of giving what we can to those who need it more is an ex¬cellent one since it denotes a Chris-tian spirit prevalent In our school and clearly demonstrates the fact that we boys and girls of Ogden know and practice 'the golden rule.' —Emily Merrill SPARKS OF INTEREST. The oral expression classes this year are proving to be one of the most interesting courses in the high school curriculum. The range of study being covered is vast and in¬teresting. Every day is devoted to a different and important phase of oral expression. The development and interest of these students is most astonishing. The repertoire al¬ready acquired is one, not only of literary value, but also one that is applicable in every day life. Christ¬mas readings are now being per¬fected. One can be assured that every student is prepared not sole¬ly in view of Santa's requisitions. —R. L. V. C. TIT-TAT-TOE. Feeling that by making known this new idea of a parlor sport high school students will be greatly bene-fited, the pupils of one study hall within our school do at this time offer a brand new sport to be taken up in spare moments. It is called Tit-Tat-Toe and although the teachers will not agree with us we believe that a study and practice of this game of pencil and paper will tax the mental make-up of any student. It is not hard to learn to play, nor is it difficult to find pencil or paper. Of a certainty it is no task to gain players or an audience. However, like all other new ideas that have been thought of there are many obstacles to be overcome. The main problem to be faced in the playing of Tit-Tat-Toe is that of evading the teacher. In view of the fact that this game is one of the best ever to be discov¬ered for school-room play we must at once think of a way to prove to the teachers that the taking part in this game is in line with regular school activity. In this problem we solicit the help of the entire student body. Please get in touch with any of the members of the seventh period study hall or Mr. Taggart if you have a solution to this problem. —Blaine Larsen. PURE FOODS. That title is as good as any I could think of. Say, this guy Burp II sure man¬ages to get around; have you been reading his articles lately? Con-gratulations, Burp, I'll try and give you some competition. To the person who wrote the Mannerisms in Monday's paper. When you're imaging: Gwen S. not saying "all r i-g-h-t" try not to imagine who she is say¬ing it to—or Virginia T. not saying, "You'd bet¬ter come up and see me," to the lad that works next to the Ogden theatre—or Warren S. not saying "Hot tschta tschata," to Winifred F., or Marian W. not saying, "My steady," to every boy she sees, or Blaine L. not saying, "You're pick¬ed," to . Fill in your own name if you wish, but leave mine out. Or Valine C. not saying, "I guess you're right, I guess," to Darrel R. Or Winifred F. not affectionately saying, "you may," to Ray P. Or, Lloyd F. net saying, "Atta girl, sport," to Mary R. Or La Vin C. not saying, "Oh, girls, girls," to Dixie, Pattie, Dorothy, Henrietta, and a few others. Or Virgie M. not saying, "Putrid" to Norm, or Clara Young not wise cracking in art. Or Darrel R. not chewing gum, and thinking of Valine C. Or John K. not saying, "Keep your arms straight, or hold this," to Adele W. Well, now that that is over, we'll get down to some news. Did you know that Mr. Stewart wants a love affair In his room third period—that he won't get. That Ed Smith has turned poet for a couple of his sixth period love birds. That Wilma and Cliff are still the main attraction—in fourth period study hall. That there seems to be quite a number of times I have seen Reed Berrett and Billie Talbot together. That you hadn't better tell any¬one what you're going to buy your girl for Christmas if you don't want her to know about it. It spreads fast. That I haven't a date to the Christmas dance, and I want one. Those interested please apply at the east door of the building at twelve- thirty o'clock every day. That Wilma M. fell down very hard the other day, and it wasn't for Cliff—she just fell. That Dixie S. sings a duet all by herself very nicely. That you have to ask six months' ahead to get a date with Henrietta C. That I would like to be voted the most popular boy in school. That she (you say who is she)— (She's just anybody), wants a rub¬ber doll and a hot water bottle for Christmas. —Orchid.
