Suggestion Made That New Rhythm Be Used On School Library Ceiling Change From African To Indian Dance Beat Desired OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor The time of this dizzy thing is (as near as I can figure out) about anytime. The place is the Ogden High school, in the library. The netting (except that it takes place in said surroundings) will be stated later. I am in the said room every day, land it was one of our many days, It while back that it all happened. I was busy studying, when, to my great alarm, I heard a terrible stomping. It sounded as if the ceil¬ing was going to fall I tried to crawl into my fountain pen for protection, but to my astonishment the Inoise stopped as quickly as it had begun. I thought probably that the noise I had heard had come from the Ming of my arches. I re¬sumed my studies. Again came the roar. This time I gazed around me Li in order to believe my ears. Yes, ' there the boys were, not gazing at Ithe girls, not studying, but staring at the ceiling and swaying in tune with the stomping. The stomping kas the direct reproduction of the African war dance, which goes pomething like this; boom, boom, Room, crash, boom, boom. I noticed gllso that the boys had a far-away Hook in their baby blue eyes as if they were back to the man-before-monkey-stage. Seeing the terrible catastrophe that had befallen my comrades I decided to write this Iarticle pleading for the girls to Momp some other tune, because, (I forgot to tell you) the girls do make, the confounded noise while taking "African stomping" in the gym. I suggest they try a little "Indian stomping,'' which, I believe, is as follows: boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.— (Signed) Luzo R. C. FUTURE AS I TYPE IT I Tap, tap! Tap, tap! Hark to the sound of the typewriter going on, and on, and on, as I practice, and practice, and practice. Before many minutes have passed this becomes so automatic that my thoughts have [ample chance to wander here and Ithfrc—hither and yon—tap, tap! I Am I to be doing this all my life? Why not? I see myself pounding the keys day after day, rising early j, leach morning, working hard, becoming more and more efficient. I And those weekly pay envelopes! How I'll spend that money! Clothes, maybe Paris models, the sheerest of those, the daintiest of lingerie, a Ibreath of oriental perfume! I'm beine advanced. At last the coveted position—private secretary to the most handsome of business men. Here I am, trim and efficient, going higher and higher. Ooops! An error! Back space! Erase; Go on! Tap, tap! This time I see a neat little bungalow. The postman knocks at the door. Who is it that opens it? I, in the prettiest of gingham dresses, I deeply engrossed in thoughts of fruit salad, marble cake, the latest bridge party. I go on with my duties I in my little house, arranging flow¬ers in a beautiful vase, peeping into the oven at a delicately browning cake, straightening books on a shelf. This done I sink into a deep soft chair, pick up a magazine and -- Well, that paper is finished. But, here's another. What shall I dream about? My future? Let's see—Nor-ma Bjorklund. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Christmas is near. Men, women, and children throng the streets and jam the stores in a frenzied effort to buy, buy, buy. They hustle, hur¬ry, rush, crowd and push to ac¬complish their Christmas shopping. Occasionally they cease their mad scurrying to converse with friends or acquaintances; other times they stop to consider what presents they should obtain for their dear ones. An incessant hum of noise wrought from the patter of ever-moving feet, honking of horns, and screeching of motors mingled with the low babble of voices in bargaining and trivial talking pierces the air and gives one the feeling that everyone feels the fine, uplifting influence which should be prevalent at Christmas time. But does the right spirit enshroud the atmosphere? Do we, students, appreciate the opportunity of mak¬ing others more joyous and higher spirited by the message of love and cheer sent to them in form of gifts or cards? Do we really think that we are benefited mentally and mor¬ally in giving our bit of happiness to the world? The answer lies with¬in ourselves and is determined by our own mental attitude. Thus, let us decide now to live the Christian spirit.—Emily Merrill. LOST AND FOUND Lost somewhere between sunrise and sunset: Sixty golden minutes set with sixty diamond seconds. There will be no reward offered as they are lost forever. — H. B. FAIRNESS Fairness takes, or should take a great part in our every day life. What is fairness? What does it mean to you? Do you play fair in everything you do? These questions come up often in every day life. Can you answer them in the affirm¬ative? If you cannot, resolve right now to let fairness be one of yourj habits. In our school athletics, in our studies, and in every task you do, be fair and square, for fairness can be played in every thing in every way. — Le Ida Roberts. ZETA PHI XI You probably noticed last week seven girls who had tear stained; faces. The reason for the tears was this: They had been seriously asked: into Zeta Phi Xi, and they hated to think their pledge days were over. These lucky girls are Helen Fae Jeppson, Winnefred Farley, Phyllis Mayer, Margaret Gaddy, La! Verne Summerill, Lois Ensign, and Lucile Noble. However, to fill their places as pledges Zeta Phi Xi chose three others to whom we wish all the suc¬cess in the world. They are Beth Spencer, Phyllis Brown and Bertha Barker. OGDEN HIGH'S WISH Young Ogden High was feeling! blue, One late December night; He had a paragraph to do And knew not what to write. The teacher said it must be brief, Oh, I know just what I shall say; May all the world forget its grief And have a joyful Christmas day! —Elizabeth Parkinson VERY DELICATE HINT I know that it's nice to have friendships and people enjoy the privilege of talking to one another and the halls are filled with inter¬esting people with whom to converse and some persons might deem it necessary to exchange events^ and; happenings between and before classes. But why can't they be more in- i conspicuous about their social dis¬cussions and not block the stairs, j causing more retiring individuals,! like myself to be delayed and to risk being late for class? — District Attorney for Economic Classes. SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1933. Tigers Take Measure of of Grantsville Five 36 To 25 GRANTSVILLE — The smooth- working Ogden High school basket¬ball team led by Whitaker, right forward, took the measure of the local high school squad 36 to 25 here Friday night after having trailed during the majority of the game, The two teams started rather slowly and Ogden was trailing 6 to 3 at the end of the first quarter. The guards of both teams were working close and the forwards found it almost impossible to break through to the baskets. The second quarter saw both teams opening up and at the half Ogden was in the lead 15 to 11 after playing a rapid and fast game. Grantsville again forged into the lead in the third quarter and when the gun sounded for the rest pe-riod was leading the Ogden squad by two points the score being 23 to 21. Ogden came back with a rush however, in the fourth quarter and j completely smothered the local five jas they scored 13 points while Grantsville counted 2. Whitaker, who played through the entire game, was high point man with 15 tallies. Thorne left forward for the Tigers was second high on their squad with 10 tallies. Palmer, left forward for the Grantsville squad, was easily the leading man of the local team scoreing 11 points and playing a fast, hard court game at all stages of the affray. Scores: OGDEN G. T. F.
