THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 1934. Retain Hair, Keep Charm, Boys Urged Feminine Side of School Shocked By Latest Designs OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor You know, it's the queerest thing, we used to have some awfully hand¬some boys around the school, but now, when I walk through the halls, I become more and more convinced of the truth of the theory that men are the descendants of the monkey race. Honestly, boys, I doubt if you can possibly realize how much you re¬semble monkeys, all on account of your beastly haircuts! I hate to spoil your illusions, that is if you have any, concerning the beauty of your new coiffures, but oh—how the girls hate to see hair shorn in prison style close to the scalp. Please, this is a plea to the rest of the boys in the student body, stay sensible and keep your hair the way it is. After all—ask any girl, much of your charm lies in your beautiful wavy locks. Retain your hair and retain your charm! —Gretchen. CLUB ACTIVITY It seems that a number of the clubs have been very busy the last two weeks. If you've looked carefully you've probably noticed many red faces and sprained fingers. Of course A.D.M. had been doing her part and to her surprise has been victorious over three teams—Zeta Phi Xi, Tri Delta and Congress. Our main team composed of Doris Hart, Bernice Fowles, Maryonne Rupe, Ellen Johnson, Ruth Charlesworth, and Lucy Teuscher, fought hard to win the tournament. Every game was exciting, and if any of you students missed seeing them it's your misfortune. Girls can play bas¬ketball and make a real sport of it. —Reporter, D. S. SERIOUS PROBLEMS Cradle snatching? We hear a great deal about that now. Just re¬member, Jack Quayle, some of the boys at Central might like Elzada Carson, too. Say, seniors, why not give the juniors a chance? Now, Lloyd, I'm sure there are quite a few juniors attracted to Patti Doherty, and, Nile, leave Phyllis Brown to a jun¬ior. There are really too many cases to name, but just keep your eyes open and you'll find other such couples. This same problem can be direct¬ly reversed, too, because some jun¬ior boys seem to like senior girls. What about it, Fred N.? Virgie Minnoch is awfully cute, though, so I can't blame you. Then, how about Earl R and Billie Talbot, that is, when Dick W. isn't around. Come on, students. Juniors with juniors and seniors with seniors would look much nicer. Besides; what will you do when your little playmates graduate— Katzenjam- mer Kids. TWOFOLD BENEFITS For a part of this year's curric¬ulum the study of literature is given in many of the English classes. No other subject could be so deeply in¬teresting, so greatly entertaining, so then the women outnumber the men. Platinum blondes have not been counted to date in the Harvard pleasing as this course, for the hu¬morous or tragic stories with their complicated, intriguing plots hold suspense and interest to the utmost. For instance, "She Stoops to Con¬quer" a satire by Oliver Goldsmith, has true characterizations of human strength and weaknesses and clever dialogs, which appeal to the finer senses of the students. Because of the pleasure derived from such indulgencies, the boys reading the material desire to en-gage themselves in this way again. A craving to divert our energy in this branch of learning is the real aim of the course, though indi¬rectly an understanding, hitherto unobtained, of a nation, race, or people fs often acquired from read¬ing their literature. Since the ap¬plication of our minds to such de-lightful tales is twofold in its bene¬fits and immensely gratifying to every one, may the study of litera-ture always be a part of high school education—Emily Merrill. BASKETBALL The Ogden Tigers, co-holders of first place with Logan in the Og¬den division, will meet the Box El¬der Bees from Brigham City, Fri¬day night in our gym. It will be remembered that Box Elder defeated the Tigers in the first game of the season in Brigham City. So, stu¬dents, the Tigers will be fighting the Bees for a double purpose Fri¬day night, to maintain their posi¬tion in the basketball race and to avenge the one and only defeat they have suffered this season. The game will be a fast one and will be filled with good basketball. Come and see Ogden take another step toward winning the division title.—Blaine Larson. FEET OF CLAY I followed a star. Time made its rays more bright. It grew in magnitude, Sung high in the heavens, Gave light to my darkness, Led me from my despair, Relinquished not its succor. It was my beacon. I climbed with faith to reach its sphere; Hope urged me on. Nigh I drew and looked upon it— A cloud of smoke obscured its face I sought excelsior. But smoke obscured its face. —Faye Staker, "Novi Poetae." VISITORS Principal Samuel Morgan of Da¬vis County High school and Prin¬cipal John Q. Blaylock of Weber County High school spent Wednes¬day at Ogden High. During the morning they were closeted with our principal discussing administrative problems and exchanging ideas. Af¬ter luncheon they visited the various classrooms. After looking over our building and equipment they offered the suggestion that the board of education build us a new high school. They say we need it and i that we deserve it. FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1934. Cadet Unit Held Cause Of Anguish Ladies Have Troubles, But Not Like Ours, Says Trainee OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor The ladies have their problems on such matters as taking care of their hair, faces and whatnot. They seem to think that theirs are prob¬lems that tax the minds to the ut¬most. These tasks, however, are but a drop in the bucket as compared to the anguish suffered by a cadet with his uniforms. Girls, if you think that smearing on lipstick is a job, just you listen to the problem of a cadet. The first bad thing about wear¬ing a uniform is the fact that the cadet has to get up at six-thirty o'clock to get the uniform on in time to make the trip to school. This alone makes the girls shudder. Now that the cadet is up, he begins to gather up his uniform. With a lump in his throat he remembers that he forgot to rewrap his leggings last night. He feels that he is bearing the burdens of the world upon his incapable shoulders! Where are those leggings? He learns that his little sister used them for binding up the cat and kittens like mummies. Where are they now? The dear little one tells him that the last she saw of them they were wound about the cat and it was, bounding out the door for the wide open spaces. After a search of the nearby lots, the leggings are re¬stored and the dressing continues. It is now discovered that the laces of the pants have been drawn tight and tied. Half an hour is used in untying the double knots in the laces. After much straining and pulling the uniform is on and at last he is ready to go to school! Girls, did you ever go through so much pain in getting ready for school? Trouble? Misery? Oh! For the life of a cadet! QUESTION CORNER. Dear Nose-All: Could you tell us why, all of a sudden, certain teach¬ers around school have taken a change of heart and started to lock the doors on their tardy students. I remember one of these teachers is usually about five minutes late him¬self. I don't suppose it would be quite appropriate to lock the door on the teacher, would it?—Guess Who. Dear Guess Who: Methinks, in the opinion of the students, it would be very appropriate to lock the door on the teacher, but per¬haps the teacher and Mr. Merrill would be of a different opinion. Well—one never knows, does one?— but it would be fun to find out. — Nose-All. CONFESSIONS OF A PENCIL. My sides were so bright and shiny, and oh, my rubber head was incomparable! It could stretch at a convenient length to see the gum flirt with the peppermint sticks. But alas! One day a city sheik came into the store and purchased me for the ridiculously low price of a dime. For two hours I was pleasantly, yet amazingly, shocked by reading Mae West love notes in a stuffed pocket. To think that the puppy love germ could invade the hearts of high school students was nearly unbelievable, (tsh, tsch). "Dear John," one of them read, "why don't you come up and see me sometime? My eyes are really a baby-blue when you look at them closely and I'm wearing that 'Eve¬ning in Paris' perfume now. You know, the kind they advertise over the radio as being subtle, alluring and romantic." But in the midst of my snooping I was jerked in a most undignified way by the big, handsome brute and put to work by wiggling and rolling my shapely sides around on a piece of paper. I looked down at my pointed foot in surprise to find I was making queer marks all over the page, which were supposed to represent an English assignment. Ah me. so that was my mission in life! For weeks I have toiled diligently doing the hula hula dance until I have shrunk into a stub. But heaven is near, for I'll soon be thrown into discard to wonder when the moon will turn to green cheese. —Emily Merrill. DEFINITIONS. A teacher is an individual who teaches what should be taught in teaching those who are taught when the teacher teaches. A student is one who studies all s that should be studied to study that which is studied by those who 7 study what real students study. Emily Merrill. HONESTY. Honesty is a great virtue developed from pure, wholesome acts. Acts of the best standards are the ones which help to attain honesty. In schools, honesty is essential, since one is sowing now what he expects to reap tomorrow. Every young boy and girl will be the man and woman of tomorrow, and his doings reflect what he is and will be. On the other hand, dishonesty starts to embrace a person little by little. The outcome will be disas-trous since a dishonest person will never be trusted. Everyone can be honest; this may be attained by be¬ing ^truthful in all acts. Thus, one by all his friends will be respected, admired by his teachers, and loved by his parents.—Le Ida Roberts. SYMPATHY We, the students and faculty of Ogden High school wish to express our heartfelt sympathy for Mr. Glenn L. Hanson, who received a broken leg while leaving our school last Monday evening. We hope that he will be back with us in a few days.—L. F. THE GAME TONIGHT Whenever Ogden meets Box Elder we expect and always get a real .scrap. They beat us on their own floor earlier in the season, but we have improved some since then and we think the story tonight will be different. We certainly hope so. The big tussle is called for eight o'clock. Be there. At seven o'clock the second teams of the two schools meet. TEXT BOOK ADOPTION High school teachers are busy these days reading and studying new 5 textbooks prior to spring adoptions. Textbooks are adopted for six-year periods. This year we are able to adopt or re-adopt texts in English, history, economics, sociology, law, and bookkeeping. We hope they will select some interesting books. Why shouldn't all books be interesting? CALIFORNIA WEATHER There is something very delightful and pleasant about this California winter of ours, but there is also a disconcerting thought. This per¬petual spring is getting under our skin and on our nerves, and we fear lest we shall not stand the drag until June. It surely takes a lot of will power to direct our foot¬steps toward Twenty-fifth and Mon¬roe when the hills, the fields, the open spaces are calling us so plain-tively, so soothingly. What can we do about it?
