Sewing Classes OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor To continue the extremely interesting and practical phase of work taught in sewing, designing, pat-terns lor our own dresses is now be¬ing taught. The girls have willing¬ly been diverting their energy to measuring length and widths of tftftfr arms, backs, etc in calculating Mze of the pattern. The girls have been working in pairs, each gM making the pattern of her partner. By adopting one's knowl¬edge of arithmetic, and learning the formulas in enacting the work of making correct measurements, draft¬ing patterns can easily be accom- After the first pattern of the arms, waists, and skirts have been made, second ones can be made in taN than five minutes, the first one made on card board to keep for reference. By continual practice girls can easily become expert hi this line. Individuality in clothes can be expressed when each girl makes her pattern according to her own taste, and becoming to her particular type. Also, much pleasure is derived by all from the fascinating work which Will be of such benefit in the future. —Emily Merrill. A CRITICISM Tht senior that wrote the article dbout radiator romances being silly, 4Bid that most of the romancing was done by juniors, is off his base. When I first came to High school I noticed that the seniors had their radiator romances as well as the uniors. I also observe now that the eniors not only have radiator romances, but locker romances as well. Juniors are also going in for [ocker romancing. Why run the poor juniors down yhen the seniors have the same laults as the juniors?—A Junior. A CURE FOR LOVE Twelve ounces of Dislike, one pound of Resolution, two grains of Common Sense, two ounces of Ex-perience, a large sprig of Time, and hree uarts of Cooling Water of Consideration. Set them over the fire of Love, sweeten With the sugar of Forgetfulness. Skim with the spoon of Melancholy. Put it in the bottom of your heart; let it remain there, and you will quickly find ease and be restored to your senses again. This prescription can be obtained at the House of Understanding next door to Reason, on Prudence Street, in the Village of Contentment. Take when Love Spells come on.— J. B. A. Rip Van Winkle, M. D. This prescription is recommended to the "Radiator Romancers" seen In the east hall at noon. (Author Unknown). TRUTH HURTS You've heard that saying "It's the truth that hurts." If you want to experiment a little on this particular proverb get your pictures taken. My My! how the vision of your m thought beautiful countenance Knb you a start. You stare fixedly fkthat flat nose set between tm glassy eyes and wonder how you #rer became associated with it. Here this time you had been thinking, Jjurself particularly goodlooking or 4 least pleasant to look upon, Alas, lite, plays sad tricks upon we poor njgftals, and we must bear up as Igpt we can under this terrible P. S. If the reader is particularly Aeved, I suggest that he see a jwtic surgeon who might be able remedy his deficiency. — Francisca.

DANCING LADY AT RIVER EDGE After I had looked at my picture and had decided that there was nothing in life to live for and that fcp river was the best way out, I said good-bye to my best friends and walked down to the cold water's edge. As I looked about me to re¬ceive a last impression to carry with me to my watery grave, I noticed that a large majority of High school's student body were doing the same thing. Then I hesitated, if all of these students were going to drown themselves, who would carry on for the coming generation? I decided that I should give up my planned exit into paradise and so I went back to school resolving to stick it out to the bitter end.— Francisca. Johnny came into the room, Went slinking to his place. The girl behind him yelled, 'What's happened to your face!" The teacher looked up from a book, To make the class behave "Never mind, John," he quickly soothed, "I remember my first shave." —Dupe. RALLY TONIGHT We think every student should be at our Pep Rally tonight. Our game Friday is the crucial game of the year and it behooves us to do our part. We'll meet you at the Orpheum. INTERESTING TALK On Wednesday at eleven-ten Mr. H. E. Frye gave us a most interest¬ing lecture on citizenship. This was delivered at the microphone in the office and was carried to every class room. The lecture was replete with illustration of obligations, responsi¬bilities, and opportunities afforded by our government, and an earnest appeal was made to us to do our part in the remarking of America. We promise Mr. Frye. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1934. Janitors Draw Bit Of Praise Attention of School Is Called To Faithful Performance OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Who lights the fire? Who sweeps the rooms and halls? Who empties the waste baskets? Who picks up the bits of paper we scatter? Who keeps our school clean and respec¬table? There is only one answer: The janitors! Little we think of taking care of our halls and rooms. It is because of us and our untidiness that they have so much work to do. Did you ever think that it takes our jani¬tors from early in the morning until late at night to clean up the disturbance we create during only seven actual school hours? No doubt they get a great deal of joy out of seeing rolls of paper on top of the lockers, small bits of paper scatter¬ed in the corners, dust and dirt from our shoes scattered into every part of the school! As an added attrac¬tion, once a week and oftener, they set about a thousand chairs in place so that we may hold our assembly. Students, the men known to us as janitors have work to do. They are working toward a worthy cause to have a school building you and I will be proud to attend. About the only thing we can do to bright¬en their burden is to be sure that we place waste paper in the waste baskets, wipe our shoes before we enter the building. We will help all by helping one another! A toast to the janitors! —Blaine Larsen. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE There is quite a difference be¬tween hurting persons' feelings and making them laugh. I have tried to keep from hurting anyone's feelings, and if I have not succeeded in doing this I hope any¬one I have offended will accept my apologies. I am sure that the other writers who have been sending in what we thought was humor, along with me, did not mean to offend anyone. I think it is going a bit too far when we try to broadcast peoples' faults. I hope we have not made a mistake in trying to put the inci¬dents of the day into our version of humor for the paper. I think the students and public rather enjoy certain things the writers make into humor just as long as there are no personal dislikes brought into use through the notes. Let's all try for more and better humor in the notes. —Orchid. SUGGESTION Have you noticed there is a large variety of students who have begun to sleep on the job? It has occurred to the teachers that the best thing to do is to politely request the stu¬dents not to snore. Of course, when a student is asleep he cannot help but snore if his natural inclination is to do so. The other students are unable to study and so they begin to snore also. Finally there is a loud noise at the front of the class and the teacher is snoring loudly. What are we going to do unless something is done about it immediately? The best thing would be to suspend mid¬night parties and dances. Don't you think? If you have any better sug¬gestions to offer write to Francisca in the notes, and, I will see what can be done. — Francisca. The Greenwell-Leonard team is threatened with separation in oral expression class. Can you imagine anything so drastic for the team concerned? PHOTOGRAPHS If you are vain get your pictures taken immediately. Unless you are blind you will undoubtedly receive an awful fright when you look at your picture. P. S. No offense to your vanity. I'm sure; just a little reminder that your nose shouldn't be so high in the air. This is a card of thanks to the students that have kept me so warm during the cold winter months. — (Signed)—Radiator Francisca. AS WE SEE IT With the disappearance of radiator romances it looks as if Helen Fae and Bob B. have started a new thing in locker romances. The old saying, gentlemen prefer blondes, is true in the case of Maurie. I wish he would decide between Gwen and Dixie. Don't you? I hope some of you have noticed Phil T. going around in a trance lately. I wonder who it is. I hear there is a mouse hovering about in Cragun's and Virgie Mc's locker. So if it sounds like an earthquake some day don't be alarmed. Isn't it marvelous how soon those S. O. S. boys can get rid of their pins. By the by I hear there is a new company called the Wright- Paine organization. That's all folks. I'll be seeing you.—Annabel Lee. P. S. I hope Orchid, Burp II, and Snoop don't mind my intruding. THE VOICE One of the most delicate of all human organisms is the voice. The voice box or the organ that creates sound for us is surpassed in impor¬tance only by the human brain. In short, our voices are of such deli-cate make up that we cannot afford to mis-use them. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon our minds that we should refrain from loud talking and shouting, both of which strain and stretch the fine vocal chords. During a basketball or foot¬ball game we sometimes forget that we should protect our voices. Educa¬tional men have proved beyond a doubt that shouting at athletic games is one of the most harmful things we can do. Concert singers have been forced to retire from two to four years because they used their voices too much. How would you like not being able to speak for two or three years? Think how it would be to be unable to speak or sing. To be sure such a condition would be almost unbearable. Yet, ive continually mis-use our voices. Remember, students, there is no sure cure for a loss of voice! TIGERS vs. BEES The Ogden Tigers, coached by Dixon Kapple, opened the 1934 cage season in the Ogden district Janu¬ary 5, when they engaged the Box Elder Bees in Brigham City. From the opening whistle the out¬come of the game would have made betting hazardous. First one team and then another forged into the lead. With but a few minutes re¬maining to play, Ogden was leading by the narrow margin of one point. A converted foul pitch and a long shot for the basket just as the final gun sounded turned the game into a victory for the Bees. Whether the Ogden team can come back to the top of the league, where they rightfully belong, re-mains to be seen in the game with the strong Weber Warriors, tonight. —Ab. Lund. |
