FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1934. Story Bares Sacrifice By Boy Speaker Steps Aside To Permit Senior To Have Try For Honors OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor We humans have a mania for reading of the exploits of heroes, both historical and modern. A story of the flight of Lindbergh or of how Napoleon captured the world always catches our fancy. Here is a tale that will not be found in the most modern of history books, the story of a hero in our very midst. Listen and rejoice at the spirit of fellowship, the spirit of Ogden High. The person about whom we write this tale is not, as most heroes are, a full grown man, he is a lad in high school, a member of our own student body. What he did, how¬ever, marks him as a person worthy of at least the telling of his sports¬man-like act. A call had been made by the school for candidates to take part on the school debating team. He, along with other ambitious youths of the school, prepared to try out for the position on that team. After the tryouts the judges an¬nounced that two boys had tied for one of the places on the team. They left the decision up to the boys. As far as debating ability was concerned the boys were equal. One of these boys is our hero, the other a senior. Both wanted the place on the team. Yet our hero gave up his position to the senior because that was his idea of sportsmanship! He felt that the senior should be given his chance to do battle for Ogden High. The spirit of fellow¬ship had solved the problem! The fellow about whom this story is written gave up honor and glory to give the outgoing senior an op¬portunity to participate in his last debate as a high school student! The team upon which our hero might have been, later won high honors in the contest. Is this not, in the highest sense, an act of heroism, the sacrificing of personal ambition to assist a fel¬low man?—Blaine Larsen. UN APPRECIATIVE I can't imagine boys being so unappreciative, but we have some who are. Boys, we're certainly not beg¬ging you to take us out to a show or dance. Why then should you put up such a sarcastic argument about having to spend all your money on a girl, and saying that the girls take the boys out once a year? I'm sure, boys, that most girls do not ask to be taken out at an intermis¬sion of a dance, or after a dance I to have a coke or a light lunch. The boys usually take them out on their own accord, or because they themselves feel thirsty or hungry. Boys, you ought to think yourselves lucky that you get asked out j by a girl once a year, and appre¬ciate the fact that they ask you.— Carry. COMPARISON Every year, dollars and dollars are paid to sponsor the athletic program. A few athletic 4 boys are given ex¬cellent training' and discipline. The fellows and girls who are interest¬ed in debating are given little if any recognition. Debating is just as important for the development of the mind as football and basketball are for the body. The time has come for students to give more of their support to de¬bating.— Elva Miller. Student—All I am I owe to my mother. Second Student—Ah give her a couple of dollars and square the ac¬count. John R.—How did the coach find out that you didn't take a shower after practice? Maurie K.—Ah, I forgot to wet the soap.—Timberline. AN EYE OPENER On Wednesday afternoon of last week the girls in the sewing classes were guests of the Scowcroft firm at Wall avenue and Twenty-third street. The girls were delightfully surprised to learn that Ogden has an establishment that employs so many Ogden people and manufac¬tures so many lines of garments and merchandise. Several alumni were noted among the workers. Thanks, Scowcrofts. BICYCLE RACKS The manual training department has recently built a very fine bi¬cycle rack for our numerous cyclists at school. The rack is located be¬tween the carpentry and automobile shops and is a very great conven-ience. We hope some day to have a large garage in which we may park our bicycles and our automo-biles. Meanwhile, also, I guess we shall have to have a place to park our roller skates. LEWIS CONTEST The J. S. Lewis oratorical con¬test is scheduled to take place at Davis County High school, Kaysville, Wednesday, April 18 at one-thirty p.m. A team of two from each of the following schools will participate: Ogden, Weber, Box El¬der, Davis. The orations may be on any educational, civic, or patriotic topic. Each speaker is limited to eight minutes. There will be three judges, using independently the usual low scoring system. The orator winning first place re¬ceives a gold watch, the second place winner a pin and the winning school a silver cup. This is our finest in¬tellectual contest of the year and always creates considerable interest , and enthusiasm. SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1934.
