THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1934. Typists To Open Study Of Letters Junior Division Will Learn Details of Three Kinds OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Very soon now the junior typing classes of Mrs. Franke will begin the study of letter writing. A study of this kind includes business, friendly and formal letters. Prior to this time the students have learned a great many rules concern¬ing punctuation and the proper forms of letter structure. The real aim of the typing department, to prepare its students for the work of typists in real business, is seen clear¬ly as this department takes up an important phase of modern business, the work of letter writing. To know such subjects as typing and bookkeeping is to know a sure way of breaking through the hard, resisting crust of the business world. —Blaine Larsen. SCHOOL SPIRIT The progressive spirit of a suc¬cessful high school can only be gained by everyone's doing his part. Many students have been failing miserably in doing the little required to keep our school in front. A large number of pupils have thus far participated in no .school activity. This is the wrong spirit to main¬tain. There has been entertainment provided for all types of students. Basketball for those who like ex-citement and competition, dances for those who enjoy dancing, a commendable play for drama en-thusiasts and a couple of pep rallies for those who are peppy. Notwith¬standing this spicy school enter-tainment the school treasury re¬cords no farming increase. The confusion of this school is rapidly approaching, so all con¬tribute to make the 1S33-34 class memorable not for its stupidity and lack of interest, but for its pro- gressiveness. Here's luck!—M. M. W. NOISY GATHERING Students, it has been said that the reason why Ogden High school does not have more citizens of Og¬den come out and support its plays, rallies, and operas is because of the conduct of the students at them. Personally, I had seen no cause for complaint until last Thursday eve¬ning at our pep rally at the Para¬mount theatre. At that time a se¬lect group of students, who were afraid they would not be noticed, proceeded to laugh and shout out at parts of the shows which were far from funny, thus making it im¬possible lor those who wished to en¬joy the pictures to do so. To say that you sounded like a herd of wild animals at feeding time would be putting it mildly. Students, we need the support of our parents at our activities if we are to continue to enjoy a yearbook and have our so¬cial functions, so let it be known than an Ogden High school audi¬ence can be as orderly as any. HOME WORK Parents of today seem to believe that school work is all play. Per¬haps this is because when they were learning the three R's a per¬son who didn't bring home an arm¬ful of books each night was lazy and slovenly. Time, however, has a habit of changing conditions. Today the most unambitious student is able to complete his work for the next day during class. Not only that, we take so many subjects that require the work done during class that no time need be taken up after school by means of special study periods to do any work that was not finished in class. So when we come home from school without any books, please don't think that we are falldown in our work, parents!— THE MAGIC LAMP I have discovered a magic lamp. There is nothing on earth now within the realms of reason that I cannot have by simply rubbing this lamp. Aladdin in his wildest dreams never equalled what I can get. How, you ask, did this come about? Where did you find this wonderful secret? I ask you, can you keep a secret well? Listen, then, and marvel: Are you poor and struggling, earning barely enough to keep alive on? So you deserve riches and social prominence? Write United Build¬ers' association and learn their money-making secret, earn thousands a week, using spare time at home only. Hundreds have suc¬ceeded this wonderful way. Are you weak, sick, and run¬down? Clip coupon and get an ultra-violet ray lamp that will make a new person out of you, give you greater pep, wonderful vitality, and tireless energy. No more need you stammer and stutter, freeze into a block of ice when asked to speak. Sweep your listeners off their feet, after two lessons at home. And that terrible cough; Old Golds will do away with that, for Eddie Cantor and Richard Barthel- mess agree on that point. Are you fat, shunned, avoided, out of popular set, and a failure in life? Reach for a Lucky, then, instead of a sweet, and know that John Gil¬bert and Douglas Fairbanks approve of your action. If you desire to be cultured, learn French at home in half an hour. If you can't play a note on the piano, or the pipe organ, any in¬strument, learn at home, and as- | tonish your friends by breaking in¬to the beautiful "Gypsy Love Song" without warning. Bald people may grow new hair in a day; stammering people can get rid of their affliction; ugly girls grow beautiful overnight by using kissproof powders and rouges, lip¬sticks and creams. Are you embarrassed often, when the missing ace of hearts is found under your chair at a card game for instance? No need to be. Be nonchalant—light a Murad. Who can doubt but that these ad¬vertisements unlock the door to the promised land, where by using ultra¬violet ray lamps, sickness and death never come; soft music learned in two lessons at home continually lulls you to rest; flowers bloom three times a day; no one is ever seen working because everyone has learned the marvelous secret of suc¬cess. In this promised land you must have one thing that is absolutely necessary—the key of the locked door is only obtained by having this one thing, and that thing is imagination. --Wendell Phillips. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1934 New Slants Arise From Literature Classes Will Test Out Their Own Talents In Composition OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Mr Thornley's classes are taking up the study of literature. Having studied a number of plays by well- known authors, the classes are about to begin a literary composition that will be almost original. This work makes it possible for the individual to read the works of good novel authors and really obtain something from the time spent. After a student reads a number of books, poems, or plays by a good author, he forms a criticism of work" of the author. This enables the pupil to gain something really material from the study of good literature. Too much of our school work is non-creative. We students need to do work that we can create and think out for ourselves. — Blaine Larsen. If I knew you, and you knew me, If both of us could clearly see, And with an inner light divine The meaning of your heart and mine; I am sure that we could differ less, And clasp our hands in friendliness. Our thoughts would pleasantly agree. If« I knew you, and you knew me. Jerry S.—"What is a fortification?" Dorothy B.—"Two twentifications!" Rabe (taking picture of O. H. S. student with father), "Now, my lad, if you will just stand with your hand on your father's shoulder. . .." Father—"More appropriate if he had his hand in my pocket." Mr. Peterson (to a group of girls standing in the hall.) "Say there, move on. What if everyone was to stand in one place. How do you think the others would get by?" More later.—Timberline. QUESTION Dear Editors: Who are the as¬sociate editors of the notes?—Won¬dering. Dear Wondering: By reading the notes each night and noticing the two outstanding writers, you can see that our two associate editors are Emily Merrill and Blaine Larsen. —Editors. IS IT FAIR? Once out of the year a girl takes a boy to a dance; she pays all ex¬penses, but once a week a boy takes a girl to a dance or some other place of amusement. If he takes her to a dance it costs him between forty and fifty cents, and then at inter¬mission some girls that I know want you to take them and buy a bar or a "coke." And then after the dance—"Let's go get something to eat" are the words of a lot of these dumb dames. Why don't they take into consideration that all boys are not made out of money? I hope some of you dames will take this to heart.—"Pug". FAMILIAR SOUNDS Have you heard: Hans Johnson say, "You're killin' me Seppick?" Stan Mansfield sing? Phil Thompson's answer to history questions? Mr. Widdison say, "So what?" Bob Brown call Helen J. "it"? Maurie's jokes? Adele Larson give excuses? Mrs. White say, "Very definitely"? Miss Wadsworth say, "To much talking, girls"? Charlene Woods say, "Don't be vulgar"?—I Herd. CAMPAIGN ON Teachers are making a real campaign this week for more regular attendance, for promptness in getting to class, and for preservation of school lawns by using cement walks. We wish them success in their noble endeavor. BOO HOO! BOO HOO! When we received our report cards on Wednesday wer felt as did Mark Twain when he stubbed his toe; "too big to cry, too hurt to smile." Teachers said "grin and bear it, you get just what you deserve, no more, no less." Just as if they knew how we have been working the past six weeks to improve our grades. We reply, (to ourselves only, of course) "thair aint no justice in this world no how." COMPLIMENTS Many book men, i. e., traveling representatives of various book firms are contacting our teachers these days concerning texts for school use. Invariably these gentlemen comli- ment our school on our orderly hall ways, and the business air that marks our conduct. The congratu¬late us also on our course of study and the general atmosphere about school. Thanks gentlemen.
