MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1934. Call Made To Students For Suggestions Faculty Wants Opinions On New Activities At Ogden High OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette— Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Not often does the faculty of a school give the student body a chance and even urge them to make suggestions as to how to better the school, and what activities to teach so as to make the school a better place. Mr. Paul Hansen announced over the radio that any student- who wanted to suggest an extra activity at high school to make it known to the office and there the activity would be decided upon and possibly enter into our curriculum. Students, for twelve years you have been going to school and by now you should know of something which could be taught or done at school to better the students. Be sure to make plenty, but sensible, suggestions so that your children might benefit by your ideas.—J. B. ELIMINATIONS The first eliminations for the Lewis oratorical contest have been held. From the 24 contestants, six excellent speakers were chosen to compete in the next elimination contest. Strangely enough, three juniors and three seniors won. Jane Davis, Dan Alsup, and Blaine Lar¬son, juniors, and Tom McQuown, Grant Burton, and Jack Quayle, seniors. From this group two will be chosen to speak in the finals. Congratulations, students.—M. P. DESK FILLER-UP-ERS Paper, apple cores, chewed gum, seeds, orange peel, bar papers, tobacco, peanut shells, test papers (10 per cent and up), lottery tickets, hairpins, comb teeth, old notebooks, blotters, gum wrappers, etc. ! ! ! Please deposit in the waste paper basket. Upon entering the classroom, the students of one of our most patient members of the faculty read with great interest the' above notice, which was written in a conspicuous place on the blackboard. The desks were spic and span inside. We hope the students keep them that way. One seventh period class cleans out the desks every Friday. If every class in the school would keep the desks clean it would improve the appearance of the rooms and save the janitors some work. Let's get behind this movement, students!— J. V. D. SPRING MODES "Yellow," I mean "Hello." This is The Ogden High school snoop re¬porter, I mean news reporter, an-nouncing the Ogden High school style show. For instance, this is what the well-dressed debutante will wear this spring: Out from behind the clouds of paint, powder and rouge, which by the way are essen-tial in completing the spring outfit, is to be worn, between sun up to sun down, a large smile. A large but not clumsy bright colored hat with blue ribbons to match. Next comes the dress which need not be an ex¬pensive one, but one of bright colors with puffed sleeves and large belt. The shoes consist of a sandal ar¬rangement which feel so good off you don't wear them. The boys, as usual, will be in per¬fect dress if they continue to wear the gaudy wooly and torturesome R. O. T. C. uniforms'. However, if the pain is unbearable, white cords, blue shirt and red tie may be worn,— perfectly good but tasteless. For additional information as to what not to wear consult your local druggist as he is there to serve your every need. A FANTASY The air I breathe is filled with the most horrid creatures—small, danc¬ing, slimy microbes! I look in dismay at the atmosphere, and my vision becomes suddenly clouded by the spectacle of minute living organ¬isms floating through space. When I take a deep breath of fresh air, I choke when I think of the particles with which my lungs are spontaneously filled. In repulsion I begin to eat and drink, attempting to disregard my morbid thoughts. But alas! I gaze at my milk. Instead of seeing a de¬lightful white substance I see a liquid filled with germs, dead and still, mingling with specks of matter. In deepest repugnance I turn to de- i vour some spinach. But ah me! The food is literally teeming with small portions of dirt, weakly sprinkled with water. "Oh, what shall I do!" I cry in exasperation. How lucky we are that we can't see the organisms, germs and microbes that chemistry teaches us are present.—Emily Merrill. ELEVATOR NEEDED Dear Friends: We have been quite busy lately gathering information. We have been rushing hither and thither until we are quite ex¬hausted. We should like a new high school if for nothing more than to install an elevator. It would be such a help to us. Well, here are a few items that we picked up in the course of our travels. Do you know that: Two Central girls insist on stay¬ing at Ogden High every noon until they are late by three or four minutes to their classes at Central. We wonder what the big attraction is. We think it is two Ogden High lads. AUCTION HELD The entire assembly was given over for the Classicalia. The first bit of business was a series of cam-paign speeches. Reed Barrett spoke for Adele Larson; Frank Fister for Eleanor Eccles; Bob Emmett for Dorothy Bowman; Jack Minnoch for Barbara Reeves; Bob Buswell for Marion Wilson; Jack Quayle for Charlene Woods; Kathryn Bird, Helen Beishline and Jack Bennett for Ruth Dyer; and Maryonne Rupe for Dorothy Stone. Harry Herscovit, the honorable auctioneer, then proceeded to sell the first ticket to the Classicalia. This famous ticket was sold to Grant Jensen for $1. Some of Forum's worthy members then attempted to sell tickets throughout the audience. The soda water booth was then auctioned off to Alpha Sigma and Phi Lambda Tau for $275. The candy booth was won by Beta Zeta Tau and A. D. M. for $210. One-hun¬dred and fifteen dollars won the noisemaker booth for Joie Francaise and Gregg Artists. The fortune- telling booth was sold to Los Loritos for $100. The balloon booth was sold to Zeta Phi Xi for $235. The peanut booth went to I. W. O. and Carpe for $200. Carpe and I. W. O. also bought the ice cream booth for $115. Assembly adjourned —M. P. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1934. Study Awards Are Offered By Colleges High School Is Receiving Notices On Western Scholarships OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor To the outstanding students of high schools there are each year scholarships to college offered. This year there are many scholar¬ships available. Pomona college has already offered 22 freshman scholar¬ships; Stanford university offers 11, and before the close of the school year more will be offered. Announce¬ments will be posted on the bulletin board.—J. B. WARNING I had desires this time of year To feel the warmth of spring, To laugh and play and Hear the birdies sing. So out of school one day I walked To escapade for fun My friends, the rest you'll never - know, But listen to my words. Don't ever think for goodness sakes, Good excuses are absurd To give to teachers in the place of fakes. —Emily Merrill. NEW IDEA An attempt to give every student the opportunity to participate in an outside activity has been made by the school. It has been proposed that next year classes be created that will differ from regular school work. Radio, foreign language, journalism, debating, public speak¬ing, dancing, and dramatics are in¬cluded in the list of available vocations. This plan has been formu¬lated for the purpose of presenting to every student what is available to the few students who belong to clubs. We students should feel glad that our school has our progress in mind. Just think of being able to go to a class to associate with pupils who have the same ambitions as we have!—Blaine Larsen. CONSCIENCE One evening I beheld the night; I saw a star alone and bright, Which winked at me and said, "Have you done your small bit today To help the world along its way, Or have you loafed instead?" —Elizabeth Parkinson. CANDIDATE Queen, the highest honor that can be given to a girl in high school. A girl should be made queen because she is worthy of that position. In this case, Dorothy Bowman is indeed worthy of being queen of our Classi¬calia. She is a sponsor, yes, but she has performed her duties very capa¬bly. She is vice president of the senior class, but she has labored very diligently for the good of the class of '34. A ready smile and a cheery word for everyone has given her a high place in the hearts of the ma¬jority of the students of our school, i so now, vote for Dorothy Bowman and let her reign supreme on April 6.—Gretchen. EASTER SURPRISES The sun was glimmering brightly I through the window panels, and the golden sunbeams were dancing I merrily on the bed in which I lay | on Easter morning. I stretched con¬tentedly and yawned. Imagine my horror when I heard a croaking chirp in my hair! I jumped up like a flash, and there on my pillow was a little, dyed chicken fluttering and running about. With a shriek I hurriedly put it on the floor and darted a suspicious glance at my mischievous sister. But she was innocently chewing an apple as if nothing had happened. With contemptuous disgust I thrust my feet in my shoes. Oh help! I drew one foot forth and found to my pleasant surprise chew- | ing gum stuck in various places on the bottom of the sole. "Now listen here," I began, but never finished. "Oh look quick! That dog is chew¬ing the dress you had on the line in the back yard," my sister cried. I dashed forth, clothed as I was, to investigate. The pup had only a dish cloth. Also, to my humiliation, I saw our neighbor gaze in astonish¬ment at my apparel. "April fool!" my sister called glee¬fully from the window. Isin't it lucky there are only six April Fool days in one hundred and fifty years on Easter! — Emily Merrill. Get a date for the Classicalia.
