TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1934. Fun Found In Classic Volumes Enjoyable Books Included In List Compiled For Classes OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor In several English classes we are now asked to read, literature which is delightfully entertaining and thoroughly beneficial in increasing one's vocabulary. Delving into the contents of any of the numerous books which we may enjoy gives us as many pleasing moments as any holiday. For we recline in a comfor¬table chair, and the narrative so captivates our fancy with its stir¬ring, romantic or humorous dialog that we forget time and circum¬stances. Stories of Charles Dickens, Pearl S. Buck, Bernard Shaw, Galsworthy, or other eminent authors are on the list from which we may choose to study in our leisure hours. Many individuals have already finished the tale which they desired to read, and by their comments such work is helpful and, indeed, commendable. Because literature broadens our knowledge, gives new ideas and displays admirable tech¬nique, may we always have such side lights of education—Emily Mer¬rill. SO WHAT? I have heard lots of scandal go¬ing around—but when I tell you, don't dare repeat it. Here's some: That Ruth is going to Dye—'er hair. Is she going to be platinum or red-head? That Norm is fond of Carroll-ing. Under whose window? We wonder. That Eleanore has fr-Eccles. What a sad, sad story. That sometimes when Dick is out with his girl, he hopes his car won't run out of gas as he might have to Walk-'er back home. And yet—no radiator romances. Where have I learned all this? Oh, I've been around.— Just a Lily. IDEAL DISPLAYED Perhaps some of you students haven't noticed the sign above the gym which reads: "Sportsmanship, our Supremacy." This sign was framed and mounted by the S. O. S. club as our symbol and standard. It represents the highest ideals of any man and the club has adopted this as its goal. Our club has been striving to main-tain this in our actions and we feel that all clubs and all students should try to live up to a goal simi¬lar to this.—S. O. S. Reporter. FAMOUS SAYINGS Mr. Peterson: That reminds me of a story. Virginia B. Oh, you uncouth in¬dividual. Mr. Kapple: We will spend one more day on this same chapter. Miss Ballinger: Are you with me? Paul Hansen: Will the chittering please cease? William A. Would you like to hear me sing? Mrs. White: This is seventh pe¬riod, you're tired and I am tired. Mr. Hancock: Yo estoy un hombre muy frio. Dorothy F.: I just broke another test tube. —'Nin" BIG GAME Everybody has heard about the girls' club basketball games. (The girls tell you everything. But it seems as if no one realizes that all this time'the boys have been play¬ing every Saturday morning. Up to last Saturday S. O. S. and I. W. O. had each won four games and lost one. Saturday both Forum and Alpha Sigma forfeited their games leaving S. O. S. and I. W. O. tied. So after much discussion the teams decided to play a series of three games for the title. The first game, won by S. O. S., was played Saturday. The second will be held Friday after school. Why not come and watch this crucial game? TRANSITORY There are things and men and people In this dear old word of ours, Who would like to sail the seven seas In a blissful world of flowers. To think and think and think and think And walk alone for hours. To stand at the edge of this life's brink And think of their life for hours. If the end is near And death you fear To meet at this fatal time, Just close your eyes And say to yourself It's not for a very long time. —Guess Who. CRABBY TEACHERS Last week we had a holiday on ; Thursday. So many people took Fri¬day off to get over the holiday that we met a sour office force and a crabby discouraged lot of teachers. It surely was a blue Monday for all of us. The teachers claim that they average about 99 per cent daily attendance, that they work hard and try to be helpful to the 150 to 300 students that are assigned each daily; that to have a goodly number of students voluntarily absent them¬selves is disheartening and discour¬aging. It shows lack of interest, lack of appreciation, lack of self-respect and loyalty on the part of the stu¬dents. We believe there is no alibi. We confess our guilt. WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1934 Cadets To Have Suits Of Serge Government To Replace Khaki Outfits Next School Year OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Major Dyer received word on Tuesday that the government will furnish serge suits to R. O. T. C. boys next year and thereafter. This is a most delightful piece of news that is greatly appreciated by the boys. Goodbye khaki! Goodbye leggins! LIFE OF A CLUB PIN Happily I recline on my owner's coat, wishing that every one would see my glittering, pompous front and delicate chain, and I lazily doze, try to doze, so I won't permit myself to hear shocking flirtations. In midst of peaceful meditation, soft, feminine fingers deftly creep over my aristocratic face and at-tempt to unclasp my attachments. "Oh horrors," I say "what fate! Am I doomed to this?" But alas, my champion, the proud possessor, is too wise to allow such triflings. He retreats quickly and laughs. 'Oh no," he says, "I'm sorry, but you see—uh, I'm not giving my pin to any one." The girl puckers up her lips petulantly, but his man¬ly resolve doesn't weaken. Then I issue a sigh of relief and continue to sleep. Alas! One week later, however, I am greatly disturbed again. A full moon shines radiantly on two love- stricken individuals, and I am con¬tinually annoyed by a girl's frock brushing against me. It was a dif- , ferent girl, I noticed, and I say disgustingly, "Oh, just another nui¬sance." But to my amazement I am possessed and given to the charming maiden. The big brute! "But my misery won't be long," I say consolingly. "At least I'll be a few weeks with my master between series of Cupid's work. Such is the life of a pin." Emily Merrill. CORRECTION The pep rally, instead of being held at the Orpheum, will be held at the Paramount. Two first run pictures will be shown. Tickets may be purchased from any council member for 15 cents, a reduction of a dime, which only high school stu¬dents are allowed. One nickel on every ticket goes to the yearbook. By being there you will not only see two shows, be present at the pep rally, but help the yearbook fund — Frantzen Todd. MUSIC, EVERYWHERE In the stores, on crowded streets, throughout school, at home, and everywhere music lingers in the air. The radio is continually ringing with melodious melodies; pianos are played with beautiful expressions; boys and girls are usually gaily sing¬ing; phonographs and their records are run until they are completely deteriorated; blast instruments are sometimes heard. At school we have fine glee clubs, an excellent orchestra, even strains of music diffuse in the atmosphere before our principal speaks. When we talk, when we walk, when we run always bits of harmony will greet our ears to affect us as it will. What a musical world, indeed, this is!— Emily Merrill. BOULDER DAM Through the courtesy of the board of education and some other good Samaritans, all of Ogden city school children are privileged this week to view Boulder dam in minia¬ture at 2568 Washington avenue. High school students were relayed to the exhibit today and enjoyed it very much. Thanks to our generous donors. A GENIUS Is there a genius among your fellow classmates of Ogden High school? If you were asked this ques¬tion, you would probably smile and shake your head no. This would be sad, indeed, for there are many geniuses in Ogden High school. In my opinion to be a genius is not always to have exalted intellec¬tual power and creative ability, but it is to have the infinite capacity for taking pains and using sensible judgment. To be a genius a person must have ambition and ideals. Jf students follow the line of work or studies best adapted to them and do their work the best they can, they are, I say, truly geniuses. There are many geniuses the same as heroes who will never go down in history or perhaps not even be heard of, yet they will have the satisfaction of knowing they attained a high goal. To be a genius is not always to receive nation or world-wide fame for some remarkable deed, discovery, or invention, but it is to do your job with pains, knowledge, and sound judgment.—Mary West. TELLING TRUTH George Washington is said to have never told a lie. What a wonderful, marvelous man he must have been. Today we are taught from our in¬fancy to tell lies, so how could we be like our first president. Some little white lies that we tell could be avoided, however, the little lies that are told without much thought. Why not procure a miniature picture of George Washington and carry it with you? After you have told one of your habitual falsehoods, look at Washington. Your conscience will smite you, and eventually the habit of telling tales will be over¬come.—Elva Miller.
