Show WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1934, WRITER FINDS RESOLUTIONS CAN'T SURVIVE Believes Comfort Should Come Ahead of Good Intentions OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor New year resolutions, like prohi¬bition, have failed. The man who first made resolutions had a won-derful idea, but when it is carried so far as to rob a person of some of the comforts of life, I think some¬thing ought to be done. When you, a high school student, have worn several large blisters up¬on your hands while trying to start the model T just, fry to keep from heaping imprecations upon the maker of the old rattletrap. When you, a successful business man, swear to stop smoking, and some friend sends you a box of choice cigars, just try to stop. When the instructor piles on the assignments, and you, another high school stu¬dent, are taking the sweet young thing to the dance, you'll be unpre¬pared again. New year resolutions are poison, and if you don't believe me just try to find one that you haven't brok¬en. I can't.—Ting. OUR NEW TEACHER Mr. Corry is now Ogden city en¬gineer. Congratulations Mr. Coray We are very sorry to lose you but; are happy to know that you have received this fine promotion. You will make good there, we know, as you have made good in high school. Clyod Bartonek, a graduate of Ogden High school and of Stanford university, electrical engineering, is; taking Mr. Coray's place at high1 school. He has an excellent record behind him and we are sure that hell make good as a teacher, despite his youth. This reminds us: He re¬ported to the librarian the first period Tuesday morning and the latter, thinking him a student—as¬signed him to a regular seat', one on the front row. HOPES FOR NEW YEAR As the new year approaches, our minds fill with thoughts of hope¬ful anticipation. It seems that we, mortals all have within us a deep, sincere hope for better things to come. We express it' at this time of the year by resolving to live better and by extending our best wishes to one another. It is my sincere hope that with the coming of the new year will come a return of employment for all those who have had to face in¬security in the past year. I am also hoping for peace among the nations of the world for a binding together of all races into a brotherhood of man. For my fellow students and for my teachers I am wishing the most progressive, worthwhile and truly happy year they have ever expe¬rienced.—Adolph Miller. The Beta Zeta Tau girls are all very happy, for Monday four new pledges were welcomed into the, realms of their club. Each new pledge was presented with a love¬ly corsage made of Talisman rose buds and fern, which was worn throughout the day. The new pledges are Rose Morrison, Beth Burt, Marian Smith and Ellen Huss. In honor of the new pledges a Christmas luncheon will be held during the Christmas holidays. The members extend their most cordial congratulations to these girls know¬ing that they will make the best of club members.—Reporter. EXPLANATION Juniors: You are new at high school and should be treated with patience, but it is very difficult to exercise this emotion on you when you wonder what has happened to all the radiator romances. I will en¬deavor to explain. Much to my surprise the young men and young women of Ogden High have more sense; not so much nonsense as the pupils of last year. I am sure there are just as many couples going "steady" and just as many romances this year as in pre¬vious years but not so many public demonstrations. Only silly, love sick people stand by t'he radiators and look into each others eyes with that |"could be had" expression. Take ray suggestion and pay more atten¬tion to your lessons and less atten¬tion to your silly affairs.—E. E. APPEARANCES Do you think people look like the parts some of them play in life? Now, starting at the head. Do you really think Grant looks like an orator or a president of a large student body? The first time I saw Grant I thought "I'll bet that' guy gets in a fight every day and twice on Fridays." I ask you do you think George L. looks like a singer and a speak¬er? I think not. Does Adele W. Look like an artist? I wouldn't say she does. Although she can paint rather vivid pictures of John when she is talking about him. Just to watch Morrie and Gwen walk through the halls in their plainclothes who would ever think they are the big shots in drill. As we look at Wilma and Cliff standing by the radiator we would never think it is they who make those radiators hot. No foolin', do you think Mary looks the part of editor of notes? To wach John K. play football one would never imagine him blush¬ing over such a small thing as Adele saying, "gee, you're handsome John." One exception to the rule, Hen¬rietta really looks as of she could keep 13 boys wondering what is go¬ing on and she is. Another story with a moral to it —three lads did come to school one morning. As they met one said to the other two, "let's fo to Salt Lake." The other two they did agree. So off they went. Our honorable teachers did wonder if they were ill, so they did phone up the lads' parents. Now the three lads are looking for jobs, they are. The moral of this story is if you cut your fingernails twice every day you will surely stub your toes when you take a bath. Dear old Saint Nick brought me something that will enable me to shoot this guy Burp II, I hope. Boy, has he been ruining the humor in vthis good paper. I challenge you to a duel of the pens, Burp.—Orchid. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1934. LIMITS FIXED FOR YEARBOOK PHOTO ACTION Exactness Requested of Ogden High School Students OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor There has been much discussion and misunderstanding as to the ex¬act date that it will be necessary for students to have their pictures in for the yearbook cuts. It will be necessary for all grad¬uating seniors to have their photos for the senior class section in by January 20. All club pictures must be handed in by the first of Feb¬ruary. These dates are definite, and all students who have not had their pictures taken are earnesly requested to arrange for this serv¬ice at once. Students handing in photos must print plainly on the back their name, the section or club for which the picture is intended, and the name of the photographer. All pic¬tures must be handed to Miss Os¬mond, the yearbook adviser. Stu¬dents are emphatically urged to be especially particular to hand their pictures to Miss Osmond in person and not to staff members, for in this way complications are avoided. —Norman Carroll. PET SAYINGS In the school it seems that all the teachers have their pet sayings along with their pet students. Some of the students also have their great sayings and pet teachers. I would like to have an opportunity to enumerate a few of them. Mr. Hancock—"Has it ever been done before?" Miss Ballinger—"Quiet please." Mr. G. Hanson—"Don't mess it up, it sounds as if you've eaten some mush." Mr. Ed Smith (to a girl)—"Here, let me help you." Mr. Thornley — "You're too noisy." Mr. Taggart — "Let's have it quiet." It seems as though my memory is failing me, so I'll not attempt to tell some of the pet sayings of the students. John H.—"Just big kids and stuff." Florence W.—"Yeah, Oh my, yes." Frank F.—"That's right, Miss Ballinger." Kenneth B.—"Oh nuts, I gotta go practice." Maurice K. (leaving a girl)—"I'm going to basketball practice now." I think it would be fine if some students developed a pet saying, so we could recognize each other by what we say.—Hear All. HOODOO HAS HIT US The Hoodoo has hit us at high school. Athletics are not suffi¬ciently patronized to pay expenses. Only a few students have purchas¬ed student body tickets. We have given two school dances and have incurred a nice little deficit in each. Rumor has it that there will be no further dances this year. We surely will be glad when this old man depression is annihilated. FIT FOR A MOVIE During the holidays one of our instructors, Mr. E. S. Smith, put on, an exhibition down town that was worthy of filming. It seems that he parked his car on 26th street near Glasmann Radio Service. He cranked it in reverse gear, and away she went across Washington avenue with her owner after her. As he caught the front door han¬dle he was thrown under the car and the front wheels climbed over him, and the car proceeded grace¬fully across Washington avenue, skimming the traffic and finally parked itself on top the curb and up against a nice big tree. Mr. Smith, though badly crippled, was able to rescue her before the cops got him and is now thrilling stu¬dents with his marvelous, exploit. Isn't it just too bad that we didn't get a picture of that holiday oc¬currence? |
