Tell Truth Party Held At School Each Member Has Chance To Discuss Faults of Others OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor A little advice that would prove beneficial to anyone carrying out a truth party is told here and is also explained. In our seventh period physiology class we have been enjoying a "truth party." I suppose boys do not hold such affairs but I sincerely believe it could do them much good if they tried it. Each class member receives a chance to discuss some person in the class who they know telling the habits, mannerisms and attitudes that could be improved. These dis¬cussions should not be taken as crit¬icisms in a nasty form but as help¬ful advice. Try a party of this type with your friends, it might be very helpful. — Eleanore Eccles. NIGHT Night flung dark banners on the wind, And quenched her million fires in their folds. She shrieked defiance without ut¬tering sound, And grasped the trav'ler and se¬curely bound Him in her deathlike hold of sleep. The quaking aspen stood in rigid grief And clasped its arms in terror stark. Then dawn came, cautious, like a thief, And stole away the dark. — Faye Staker, "Novi Poetae." NOW WE KNOW Editor, Will some one who knows where the rally is going to be make it clear? Many of the students whom I have asked say they do not know where it is going to be. Yell Leader Prank Fister, made the announce¬ment in assembly Friday but we did not get it. Please make the an¬nouncement clear. —C. L. C. The pep rally will be held at the Orpheum theatre, Thursday, Janu¬ary 11 at seven-thirty p. m. Admis-sion is 15 cents. CARPE DIEM In the last few weeks the mem¬bers and pledges of Carpe Diem have formed into committees to aid the city in community work. One of the outstanding functions was the work done at the Martha Junior society for the unfortunates there. The girls entertained the children by reading to them and playing games with them. Also they taught the boys and girls a few points in! cutting out paper figures and draw¬ing. It might be said that the club derived as much pleasure and bene¬fit from this work as the society it¬self did. The girls felt well repaid for their efforts when they saw the happy, contented faces of the children. Carpe Diem is continuing in this work for our city and will en¬deavor to make one of its aims to help the poor and less fortunate." More power to you, Carpe Diem. UNTHINKABLES Think of Bob Emmett not hum¬ming or singing in that bass voice of his; Dorothy Bowman not radiat¬ing personality; Jack Wilcox not wondering about La Vin; Blaine Larsen without a toothpick, Valine Checketts not saying "Oh, you little hussy, you;" Fred Nickson not say¬ing "Oh, k-i-d;" Jack Bennett not clicking his fingers when he walks; Zeta girls not making whoopee at their parties; Dixie not wearing the pretty angora sweater Roy gave her; Dorothy Hall not laughing; Darrel Robins not jolly.— E. M. GOOD HEALTH We have more reason to be ex¬tremely careful about our health habits in the next four years than we have had in the past eight years. A famous eastern doctor stated that many serious, contagious diseases will be experienced by millions of people in the United States in the near future. If every one will take good care of their bodies by eating and dress¬ing properly, by exercising regularly, and by sleeping a sufficient amount I of time they will have little need for worry.—Eleanore Eccles. TEACHER ABSENT Mr. Abplanalp, instructor in book¬keeping is absent the fore part of the week due to the death of his father at Midway, Utah. We express our sympathy. Mrs. Lucille Chambers is substi¬tute for Mr. Abplanalp. The following letter was received on Monday: "My Dear Mr. Merrill: "The Children's Aid society extends to you and the students at high school their sincere thanks and appreciation for the loyal sup¬port to the society. "Thanking you again. "Sincerely, Mrs. W. O. Pell, Cor¬responding secretary, Children's Aid society." Tigers, Warriors Will Meet Friday At High School The Ogden High school-Weber High school basketball game Fri¬day evening will be played on the court of Ogden senior high school, Dixon Kapple, coach, announced this morning. The game was originally schedul¬ed to be played at the Weber gym¬nasium but a game between the Weber five and the University of Utah freshmen made it necessary to change the location to the high school. A second team game will begin it seven o'clock and the main game it eight o'clock. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1934. Call Made For Noise At School Yell Leaders Should Have Stronger Response, Avers Writer OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Let's try to give more cooperation to our yell leaders. No fooling fel¬lows, it's hard to get up in front of a group of a thousand students and try to lead a school yell or song if there is no co-operation on the part of the student body. It takes nerve for those three boys to bawl us out when they think we need it —I'd say we needed it very badly right now.. Believe it or not; Og¬den High is noted for its school spirit and sportsmanship. Let's get the old Ogden enthusiasm back. Ail it will take is a little spirit on our part. Get behind everything, stu¬dents, push it to the highest pos¬sible point, make Ogden High a school that will long be remembered after we have gone on in life. No matter how small the thing if we start it, do it right, as well as we can, and finish it with a bang. There are many a headache and various other ills that come to our yell leaders after leading us in an assembly or game. It may be an honor, but it is also a job that can¬not succeed if the students won't help the yell leaders. Don't be ashamed to yell in assembly, it's a rare privilege. Just think what would happen if you started to yell in one of your classes or at a dance. As you can't yell any time you feel like it so make the best of your op¬portunity and yell your head oil next time. All we need, Ogden, is the spirit we ourselves have been holding down. The team, the yell leaders, and all are ready, now let's all get together and get going for Ogden. —Orchid. PEP RALLY DATED Our pep rally for the Weber-Og- den game will be held Thursday evening at seven-thirty in the Or-pheum theatre. We are urging every student ana all his relatives to turn out for the big event. Admission is only 15 cents, and from each said 15 cents we receive five cents for our student body fund (which is pretty weak.) Almost every club in Ogden High school has said in its constitution "and to support student body activi-ties," so come on, clubs, live up to your promise, and turn out 100 per cent. Bring your parents, too, they are interested in Ogden High school. CARPE DIEM One of the most valued and wel¬come Christmas presents that the members of Carpe Diem received during the holidays was the addi¬tion of three lovely, pledges. We introduce them: Katherine Morrell, Henrietta Curtwright and Jessie Higgins. We wish them luck and happiness in their future association with the club and offer them con¬gratulations. GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball season is now in full swing. Patter of quick-moving, jumping feet, thuds of the bouncing ball, sounds of rubber- soled shoes skidding on wood, in¬cessant murmurings, occasional ejaculations of players, and sharp commands ring through the air; flashes of bodies racing across the floor, abruptly halting, turning, swirling, and grabbing for the ball meet the eye. The guards, frantic¬ally wave their arms and zealously tag the forwards in an effort to prevent their opponents from re¬ceiving the ball, while the forwards) deftly maneuver and signal to onei another in their efforts to shoot the ball into the basket. All of this is characteristic of the basketball game. Every gym class has four teams, averaging 10 on each team with a captain. Two groups play for five minutes, while the other two watch, then the remaining two have their turn in competing against one another. In this way every one exercises the same amount of time, and equal opportunity is allowed for the members of each particular group to demonstrate their skiH. Much enthusiasm has been aroused by this exciting, competitive game, and the majority of players look forward with great eagerness to the games.—Emily Merrill. SWEET MEMORIES Some nights I will remember Which came in late December, I listened to the singing The radio was bringing. I curled up on the sofa To be a happy "lofa"— Ah, they were such a blessin,' Those nights without a lesson! —Elizabeth Parkinson. JUST A THOUGHT A friend is he who knows all your weaknesses, but still loves you. Moral: Judge a person by the good he has in him, and not by his weaknesses.—A Friend. TEACHERS' BULLETIN We extract the following from the teacher's Tuesday morning bulletin We think the students might pos¬sibly get some suggestions from it: The two chief functions of the teacher are: To put life into matter that now lies dormant or dead, and To put inspiration, aspiration, ambition, determination, into the heart of youth. In other words, make your sub¬ject live and create in your students the learning attitude toward it. |
