Show MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1934. New Titles May Adorn Club Lists Greek Letters May Give Way To American Names OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor School club committees are con¬sidering the advisability of change ing club names. Many of them are Greek and to us they are Greek. We indorse the change as we believe our language is sufficiently rich to furnish us appropriate names for our clubs. TARDY I looked at my watch. Heavens, it was twenty to one, and oh, I had so much to do yet! I must brush my teeth, comb my hair, and as usual my nose was shiny so it had to be powedered, I could put my lipstick on on the way. After all these necessities I dashed out the door just in time to see the street car pass. It looked as though I was doomed to walk or I might say run. After running three or four blocks, I ar-rived at school five minutes late. After a struggle to get the locker open I managed to grab a book or two and dashed to the library. Upon entering everything seemed so quiet I just had a feeling I was plenty late. But I used the good old standby. "I missed the street car." Well, as the saying goes, "It's better late than never."—Marjorie Schoss. REMINDER Seniors and club members, we find it necessary to warn you again to get your pictures in immediately. Early in November, you were first told to have your pictures taken, and here it is, February, and we are lacking quite a number. Hurry, hurry, hurry, make your appoint¬ment today, and have your prints for cuts in by next week. SUGGESTION One of the most beautiful things in life is music. Why, then, is it so difficult to sit still in assembly during the short time it takes to play a classical piece of music? If the students would listen attentively enough to really catch the fine points of the music, they would soon learn to appreciate it. Try it once, students, it won't hurt you. PRAISE FOR PLAY "Your school play was simply wonderful, Mrs. Williams and I en¬joyed every minute of it. I do not know when we ever spent a more pleasant evening." — Fred E. Wil¬liams, City Commissioner. ASSEMBLY REPORT Assembly was called to order by President Jensen. Chester Chris- tianson made an announcement. Harry Herscovitch announced the Cadet hop to be held February 21 and urged all cadets to support it. A trumpet solo was played by Mar¬jorie Moyes. First on the ex¬temporaneous speech contest was Norman Carroll, a senior, whose sub¬ject was "U. S. Should Cancel the Allied War Debts." The first junior speaker was Dan Alsup, his subject being "Presidents Who Have Up¬held the Monroe Doctrine." "Presi¬dent Roosevelt and the Monroe Doctrine," was the subject of Bob Emmett, and the second senior was Evan Stuart. His subject was "The Allied War Debts." During the con¬sultation of the judges, the orchestra accompanied Ruth La Vin Cragun in a beautiful concerto. The deci¬sion was given in favor of the seniors. That makes it 2 to 1 for the seniors. Assembly then ad¬journed.—Elva Miller. I WANNA KNOW When Snoop will stop making Fred the victim of his humor. (But can Fred take it!) If the lockers will be the same after these locker romancers get through leaning on them. (Never mind girls, if you don't make an im¬pression on the boy you certainly do on the locker). Why the boys' clubs don't present the pins to the girls in the first place. WE SMOTHER 'EM Despite the fact that South Cache has a very snappy basketball team, Ogden's wee bit of superiority en¬abled it to smother the South Cache team to the tune of 42 to 22. Since Logan beat Weber also, we are at present pitted against Logan for regional championship. But we must yet play both Weber and Box Elder, so there is rough sailing ahead. At any rate, we shall see some more mighty fine basketball. Let us hope for continued victories. FINE ORCHESTRA Ogden High has now the best or¬chestra we have ever had. There are 40 members, 21 of which are violins. Unbounded praise is being given for the wonderful exhibition at Friday's assembly in the execution of one of Mendellsohn's masterpieces. Several have recommended that this selec¬tion be offered at commencement. Miss Ruth La Vin Cragun at the piano displayed marvelous skill. She is a real artist. WE DREAM AND HOPE We have not yet given up hopes for that new High school. We wish no delay in complete economic re-covery, but we certainly hope that the depression gives us through NRA or CWA, or some other act that much needed building. No com¬munity ever needed anything more than Ogden needs a new senior High school. Let us pray. TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1934. Pupils Hit By Germ Of Spring Yawny Spirit Prevails Un¬der Influence of Mild Weather OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Some of the pupils sat with their heads down upon the desk. Some : supported their weary heads with a : hand or two. Some gazed aimless¬ly about them. Some talked, and some, although few, studied. As time went on more heads were lowered to the desks. Finally the study hall seemed shrouded in peaceful slum¬ber. No, some girl had gathered up enough willpower and energy to powder her nose and comb her hair Maybe life and confusion will return to the study hall, but nay, her head has dropped again. "Something must be wrong with everyone," I thought. Maybe it is spring fever. And unable to endure seeing my friends slumber longer, I stretched and yawned and my head too dropped upon the desk. TO HANDSOME HARRY Harry I don't agree with your talk in assembly; of course every girl wants to go to the Cadet hop but why should the boy she took to the Accolade ask her? She may, you might say, have a case on the boy she took to the dance and in asking him he was too polite to say "no." He may not care a hoot about the girl, so boys I advise you to ask whom you please in this matter, we girls didn't take you boys to the Accolade so that you would return the date. We went because we want¬ed to support our dance and also have a good time and do our part in sponsoring a dance. So boys don't take the attitude Harry gave, be¬cause the girls don't feel this way toward the matter.—Poppy. STUDY DISTURBANCES I try to find a place of peace and quiet, so that I can start my mental powers to slowly function, but where can I go? I finally decide upon the front bedroom when a sharp, bang¬ing noise of loud discords on a noisy piano strikes my delicate ear drums. I close my hearing organs with my little, white hands, and I fiercely frown at my book in an earnest effort to think. But alas! The sound of a murdered piece pricks my sense of harmony. I grab my books and flee to the canctuary of the kitchen. "Bromine," I mutter to myself, "is a reddish brown gas whose chemical properties are" ... at this moment the tempting odor of chicken cook¬ing in the stove, fills the air. I twitch my nose aloof and continue to read. But the sweet smell of chicken continues to tantalize me. My resolve weakens. "Say, but I wonder if it would hurt to take some," I whisper to myself. I deftly open the oven door and sneak a piece off the plump, stuffed bird. In the midst of this operation my mother enters. In a big hurry and flurry I quickly scurry to the hall and run to my room. "Oh, sis, come here," my brother calls. "Can you feel my whiskers? Or will I have to shave again?" I softly touch his face, thrust out for my inspection. I can't decide, so I feel his manly fuzz again and again. At the end of many trials I give my decision in the affirmative. With a sigh, I run to my room and shut the door to keep the noise of my sister's singing, an attempt to imitate a grand opera singer, out of my hearing. Just as I sit down, I hear the words, "dinner is ready." With a slam I bang my chemistry book down and run to enjoy my favorite pastime—eating. — Emily Merrill. "CRACK COMPANY" The crack company apparently is living up to its name by trying to crack the building every morning the first period. I wonder if they are trying to revenge the gym girls. SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABLE Here is the first paragraph of a letter from the president of the Utah Agricultural college: "Through a special action of the board of trustees there will be available for your high school one scholarship to a graduate of the class of 1934, to the value of $25. This scholarship takes the form remission of tuition in any of the schools of the Utah State Agricultural college for the year 1934-35." If interested in this letter call at the office. You may read the entire letter. QUESTIONS ANSWERED At last the question "what is as rare as a day in June?" has found its answer. The answer is a day in February—say February 4 or 5. Those if ever, were perfect days. SUPT. AT GAME We certainly were delighted to see Superintendent Hopkins at our game on Friday last. Though considerably handicapped and tolerably uncomfortable with that broken arm, he could not resist the temptation to be present. Good old sport, superintendent. |
