Show MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1934 Merger Will Be Argued Public Invited To Hear Congress and Forum In Debote OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Congress, the girls' debating club, and Forum, the boy's debating club, are holding a debate on the ques¬tion, "Resolved, that the Weber county and Ogden city school sys¬tems should be consolidated." This debate will be held tonight at seven- thirty in O. H. S. The public is in¬vited. WAITING Waiting—and how! Why, I don't believe I ever had a "date" who was ready when I called for her. Women are so exasperating —at times. These are the circumstances: I start getting ready two hours before the appointment. I am so nervous that I cut my fac^ while shaving, or get my tie into an absolutely un- tieable knot, or some other perfectly idiotic thing. I rush out in a dis¬traught condition and walk so fast that I'm puffing after two blocks. When I'm almost there I glance hurriedly at my watch. It's two min¬utes after the time I' due. Oh, she's probably so angry now she'll refuse to go; or, worse, she's gone with somebody else. I hurry on and run panting up the steps and ring the bell. After a wait of perhaps a min¬utes after the time I'm due. Oh, she's this time) she comes to the door, clad in a dainty little house dress- hardly the garb for a dance. I smile, and she says, "Oh, you? Already? Why, it surely isn't later than eight-thirty!" I, relieved at'not be¬ing late, but annoyed at her ignor¬ance of the time, politely inform her that it is now five minutes after nine. She looks surprised and says that she hasn't even started to get ready. She sweetly asks me to amuse myself and says that she'll be down in a minute. She then proceeds up-stairs, and I proceed to amuse my¬self. After looking at all the pictures on the piano and playing one-finger nursery rhymes, I turn to find a small girl of probably eight years of age, gazing at me intently. When I look at her she promptly comes to the piano, sits beside me, and com¬mences to play the nursery rhymes I have painstakingly been pecking at—only she uses both hands. When she finishes her demonstration of my ignorance, she gets up and backs out of the room without a word. I don't play the piano again. I look around for other prospects of amusement Finding none, I ull out my watch. It is now nine-thirty. I begin to wish that I had taken time to untie the knot in my new tie instead of wearing this old one, or that I had taken more time with my hair; it needs more brilliantine. I think of the many other ways in which I could have improved my ap¬pearance in that twenty-five min¬utes. I finally get up and walk around the room. I find a mirror and, first making sure that no one is observing me, proceed to inspect my face, noticing the cut on my chin. Now that wouldn't have been there if— oh, well— vain regrets— what do they gain? And I walk around some more, getting more ex¬asperated with each step. At ten minutes to ten my reflections turn to the dance—how the programs will be filled out, etc. I did want to dance with Henrietta and Jean to¬night. At ten I give up and set my¬self down, a perfect wreck. After fifteen minutes have elapsed during which time my mind is a sour blank, she comes down to find me absorbed in the pattern on the wallpaper. With a casual "Sorry to keep you waiting," she hands me her coat. I grit my teeth, say "Oh, that's all right," and after a last glance into the mirror on her part, we go forth. Arriving at the dance at some time between ten-thirty and eleven I find that my dire predic-tions are fulfilled—the programs are full. I dance with her twice and once with each of my several aunts who happen to be present. The re¬mainder of the time I spend watch¬ing her—she seems to have plenty- of dances —and improvising means of revenge, all of which vanish on the way as I ask her for another date.—J. W. P. SKIT PRESENTED Assembly was called to order by President Jensen who then turned the time over to President Dyer of the Girls' association. A clever skit advertising the Acco¬lade was presented by the girls. An-j other skit was given by members of Beta Zeta Tau. Bob Buswell and Jack Doone enacted their idea of the events of the big day, Friday. Some of the basketball boys, namely Johnny, Gus, Clyde, and Maury gave their version of "Annie Doesn't Live Here Any More." The yell leaders then took charge of the remainder of the time with songs and yells. TRI DELTA Last Friday Tri Delta members were entertained at a shindig. A swim at the Weber Gym was enjoyed by every member. After swimming we went to the home of Martha Mumford where delicious refresh¬ments were served by Ruth Allred and Martha Mumford. The shindig was the first activity of the club that the new pledges had attended. After a week of "initia¬tion," we are glad to welcome Flor¬ence Eames, Norma London, Alice Zondervon, and Katherine Judd into the club as permanent members. —Reporter. STRANGE SIGHTS Just Imagine: Mary Alice not in a mess. Marjorie S. and George D. speak¬ing. How about it, you two? Bernice W. without Rex D. at noons. Pattie not saying "That gets in my hair." Eleanor E. the daughter of the next president. Barbara S. Walking down the hall with Grant. Beverly H. not saying "Does the back of my hair look all right?" —F. D. Don't Phil Thompson and Phyllis Meyer make a cute couple. Even the names seem to go together. Well, well, well, I didn't know that we had such excellent actors and ac¬tresses in school. I'm sure that all who saw the school play will agree with me that Ogden High possesses some excellent talent. Wouldn't it be strange to see Mary Scowcroft going home at noon with a car load of boys? In answer to many requests, Jer¬ry Seale seems to have finally de¬cided upon Dorothy Bowman. Con-gratulations, Dot. Wouldn't it be nice to have every room in the building comfortably heated for once?—Blue Beard. SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1934, Rally Led By Jensen Gives Tiger Victory Ogden Journeys To Preston For League Games Next Tuesday Trailing from shortly before the end of the first half until the last few minutes of play the Ogden Ti¬ger suddenly found its eye for shooting baskets Friday night and turned into victory a game that looked like sure defeat. The Tigers were playing the Griz¬zlies of Logan, undefeated and leading the division one race, when they staged as game an uphill fight as has graced the high school court for many a day to emerge victorious 21 to 25. The Grizzlies were slow in find¬ing themselves and did not score a basket until well into the second quarter. At the end of the first canto they were trailing 6 to 2 and although they did not score them-selves they managed to keep the Tigers from finding the basket too often. Shortly after the second quarter opened Hendricks, Logan center, found the hoop and at the end of the half the team had rallied to make 12 points while Ogden was counting three, for a score of 14 to 9. LOGAN LEADING Logan was still leading at the finish of the third quarter but the Tigers had crept up far enough to lack only two points from tieing the score at 19 all. Logan increased its lead as the final period ended and then the Tiger, which had been getting more shots all evening than the Grizzly, suddenly found its eye and led by Jensen piled up a four point lead with two minutes to go. Jensen was high point man for Ogden and for the entire game as far as that was concerned, finding the loop for five baskets and pitch¬ing two out of five free throws for 12 points. Whi'taker, team mate, was second high with two baskets and two out of two foul pitches for six points and Haslem and At- terbeck, Logan forwards, tied for third place with five points each. OGDEN G.
