New Riots Recall Old Troubles French History Becomes More Interesting As Conflicts Occur OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack .Bennett—Associate Editor Rapid strides are being made by the history department. The classes conducted by Mr. Peterson in Euro¬pean history are now discussing the period of the French revolution. It was during this time that the com¬mon people of France struck for liberty. Another people were also trying to gain freedom at this time. In fact, the French were swayed in their revolution by the success of the American people in attaining their freedom from England. An¬other thing that makes the class discussion of France more than in¬teresting is the fact that the people of the French republic have lately been rioting because they believe that the republican form of govern¬ment has not done all that it was supposed to do. The French were never able to be self-governing and they never will be. Is it not strange that we read of a revolution in a history book and the next day we hear of one that is happening at the present time?—Blaine Larsen. CHILD CARE You should have seen the plump, rosy sweet, little baby that was hav¬ing a bath in the cafeteria. The girls in the child care class are learning about the care and raising of a child and are having demon-strations as the one mentioned above.—Eleanore Eccles. Success, nine times out of ten, consists of failing to do the wrong thing, and only a trombone player can succeed by letting things slide. BOOKKEEPING In school we learn to do many things. We are taught things that we intend to take up when we leave school. We do not however, get a chance to really test our knowledge about things until we get out of school. Students of the bookkeep¬ing department are given a chance to display their knowledge about bookkeeping right In school. Each student has a set of books exactly like those used in transacting a real business. The use of these practice sets enables the students to be¬come acquainted with the problems that arise in a business firm. All work is done under the instruction of the teacher, and the pupil learns to write checks, bank notes, re¬ceipts, and many other kinds of business papers. We believe that the Ogden High students who have completed this course will enter modern business with a more thorough understand¬ing of the things they will be paid to know—Blaine Larsen. THE DEATH BARGE The year was waning:—October had come with its chilling blasts, sweeping the earth and leaving in its wake desolate silence. The trees lifted their naked, grey arms sky¬ward as though in hopeless prayer. Grey shadows hovered about the sky, grasping downward in eager¬ness to seize and to hold the earth in misery. Driven slowly on by the icy cur¬rent, the barge carried its mournful burden. The breezes played about the barge, encircling the still, white body of Elaine. The mystic veil was wafted from the wan face, and it danced weirdly in the breeze, mocking the sorrow and grief. Onward the barge went, guided by a faithful old man. In all the world there was none so sad as he. For years he had watched the child Elaine, and he saw in her all the beauty of the universe. The lily which she now clasped tightly in her chilled hands, to him, symbol¬ized all the purity of her heart. Recalling how she had so often filled him with an overbounding joy when she had smiled, he raised his eyes to heaven; and from his silenced lips a prayer for her soul arose. And then, he saw the castle in a distance. His thoughts turned from the fair Elaine to the knight, Lancelot. To the old man every¬thing suddenly seemed unjust, and he wondered if there really were a God. Suddenly a great hatred, which he had never known before, arose in his heart and mind. If he could have spoken, he would have told of the great revenge he planned. Then, glancing at her quiet body, all these thoughts left, and he felt guilty for thinking so horribly of the one the fair Elaine had loved. For a moment the breeze was lulled, and everything was quiet. So quiet that even the old man sensed it more forcefully than ever before in his life, which had always been stilled to him. Then he knew—it was a quiet that always comes with death.—Chester Becraft. ATTENDANCE SOLICITED The girls put over the Accolade. This question is now up to the boys: "Are you going to put over the hop?" By putting it over, we mean, are you going to make it a social and a financial success. We believe, you are but we are not quite sure on account of your apathy, your lack of enthusiasm. The girls' party and the Cadet hop are two of the school's greatest functions. Of the two we are in-clined to think the latter has some prestige as it enlists annually the sympathy, interest, attendance of hundreds of parents. Our appeal to I you then is this: Boys, let's keep up one record and make this party, de¬pression or no depression, the event of the year. WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1934. Rifle Team Likely To Score Well Sergeant Holloway's Boys Are Practicing For Contest OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Everybody knows when the foot¬ball and basketball seasons come around, but I wonder how many know when the riflemen take to the field. In spite of all ignorance on the part of the student body, the rifle team has been diligently prac¬ticing, awaiting the day when it shall set up the contest targets and bang away at them. Sergeant Hallo- way says, with an air of assurance, that his boys ought to be able to rank fairly high this year and with a fair amount of luck could easily win a cup. We have had all football and bas¬ketball men introduced in assembly why not have the riflemen intro-duced? Those composing the team are: Bob Stewart, Percy Andrews, Wilford Winholtz, Townely Brian, Ted Greenwell, Deforge Nelson, Wendell Seppich, Dean Marrin, Charles Stowell, Paul Packer, Junior Mark, Wendell Heaton, Aaron Ross, Earl Waldram. —Frantzen Todd PERIOD OF REMINISCENCE Some time in the future you may be sitting by a log fire in the open hearth at home. If ever such a time should come your thoughts will undoutbedly turn to the sweet days gone by. Year by year you will go back thinking of the friends you have made. Some of them you still associate with. Many others have long gone in oblivion. Reminiscing is one of the joys that comes to I every person and one that should be stimulated. It will always give you a thrill to remember the clubs that you belonged to; and the red letter days of High school. The only way that you will be able to completely recall the things gone by will be by digging out the old yearbook. If you want to have this joy in later life now is the time to act.—I-Wannan-O. A GREAT HELP Our friend, Mr. Dictionary, is in¬deed a savior to struggling students when we sack our thoughts for ap-propriate synonyms, antonyms, and a knowledge of what apparently difficult words mean. We sit and ponder, and puzzle some more over what we will jot down on the sheet of paper in place of an expression which we have repeatedly used. Aha! A thought strikes us. We say, "Why didn't I think of it be¬fore?" Hurriedly we fly to Mr. Dic¬tionary, glance at the alphabetic letters on his plump front, and delve into the contents. Immediately we have our choice of at least three terms to choose from. Then we are indeed happy. He is a friend to all, a friend to me, a friend in distress. Three cheers for Mr. Dictionary!—Emily Merrill. FRIENDSHIP AIM One of the major aspirations of the student is scholarships. This year the other is friendship, Scholarship has always been attained to a great extent but during the past few months friendship, a zealous effort having been made to reach' this goal, has been accomplished even more than it has before. This fact can be easily preceived by the sociable smiles and glances given among all the members of this edu¬cational institution and by the general feeling of amicability pre¬vailing in the atmospnere through¬out the school. Six months have we had to be¬come better acquainted with our charming associates, and partly through the combined efforts of clubs, school officers, the Girls' association, and representatives of advisory classes in council has there, been developed this spirit of com¬panionship and comradeship. No ambition for a place of learn¬ing could be finer or more uplifting: than this splendid attitude. Let us, then, help to perpetuate this noble aim.—Emily Merrill. SHORT HAIR DEFENSE "There has been much to do about " the short hair of some of the boys around school. It might be well for the girls to remember that we boys don't do things just to please the weaker sex. Boys, you konw, think first of their own com¬fort and their vanity. Now if we boys all had nice wavey hair it would be different, but mother na¬ture only gives wavey hair to a few boys, whereas, strange as it may seem, all girls are endowed with this attraction. Finally girls, if you ever had the pleasure of having some delightful female run her deli¬cate fingers through your hair every few minutes, and not have been able to retaliate, you would feel for us, not against us.—Guess Who. It seems that both phases of the question of senior boys going with junior girls and junior boys with senior girls were taken up but one thing was omitted. How about girls finding fellows outside the school. Some of them travel south perhaps out near Riverdale, others go with junior High school boys. Perhaps the Ogden High school boys are not as grand as they think.—Peter Pan. STANFORD OR MILLS Are you going to Stanford or Mills college? If so, take the Stan¬ford aptitude test in room 313, Museum building, University of Utah, Salt Lake City at nine o'clock March 17. HOLIDAY THURSDAY Once there was a man by the name of George Washington. You probably have heard of him. He achieved yet a reputation in the early history of our country in consequence of which we always commemorate his birthday, the 22nd day of February. Well this year, the board of education out of sheer generosity and patriotism has de¬clared this anniversary a school holiday. Hip Hurrah! for the board of education and George Washing¬ton.
