MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1934. Rewards Come From Policy of Making Friends Amiable Course Preferred Above Self-Centered Attitude OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette— Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Practically every time one type of person is asked to perform a task not in his ordinary scope of activities he asks a question, "What will I receive?" This person measures effort in material gain, desiring to limit his efforts in order to gain some form of recognition. He is said to bp nerson who is self-centered, one who wastes everybody's time to further his own interests. A different type is the person who enters all activities, being inter¬ested to appease his desire for knowledge. This individual's time is spent at the bequest of others. He is usually a person of dominating character, willing to do everything possible for everyone who needs help. He is amiable and is a type of friend everyone is searching for. The first fellow may achieve ma¬terial wealth, but the reward of the i second will be far greater, because he has attained success by making friends! His reward is lasting, for he alone knows that he is a success, being content with his contributions TEACHERS FAITHFUL Here's to the teachers of Ogden High. They are always on the job no matter what is going on elsewhere. Teachers are human like the rest of us, and spring fever affects them just as it does the students. But did you ever see a member of the faculty sneaking out of a study hall or feigning illness to avoid teaching a class? Our teachers work hard to make subjects interesting to pupils. Never a day passes but at least half a dozen students take part of the day off. Students, by playing fair with the teachers in attending your classes you are doing yourselves the favor. Sluffing is not conducive to developing a fine char¬acter.—M. C. J. PARTY SOON Juniors: It has been said that the junior class this year is an incom¬petent organization. It has also been stated that we are incapable of producing a worthwhile dance. In fact the permission to hold the junior prom was withheld for some time because of the booming possi¬bilities of a supposed failure. Naturally you should resent these beliefs. But what are you going to do about it? Are you going to re-main unheedful and allow these ac¬cusations to pass by unchecked, or are you going to let your indignation give rise to a desire to drown them? The opportunity to prove that we are capable presents itself in the form of the junior prom. You must make this dance a success, and in order to do so, you must support it; you must co-operate with the committee members; and most im¬portant of all, you must back it with a 100 per cent attendance. Let's make this dance (the most import¬ant dance of the year for you) a real success. Let's show the seniors that they are going to leave the school affairs in competent hands upon their departure.—Dan Alsup. LIFE OF A PLEDGE "Pledge, get me a stick of gum before the bell rings." Say, but those words are music to the ears of us pledges. Really, members we realize that you think you are easy on us, but can't you remember back when you were pledges and had to ask someone for a stick of gum every time you turned a corner? And when you were in a very great hurry, don't you recall having a member stop you and tell you to find Helen and tell her to come right that moment? Didn't it make you feel rather rebellious? Also when your mother told you to come right home from school, and just as you are leaving, a member shouts at you to go to the store for her or go down town for some thread or carry her books home first or take something up to some teacher, did you not feel like telling them a word or two? Then what if you did refuse? They immediately replied "Pledge do as you are told," and you went home an hour or so late to face your angry mother. We consider it a great honor to be a pledge, and we really wouldn't mind all these duties so much if there were equally as many pledges as members. Then one pledge wouldn't have to do so much. Please, members, we beg of you to remember when you ask us to do something that there are about six¬teen or eighteen other members whom we have to serve, and we really would like a little time for ourselves. I am sure this is the consensus of all pledges. Otherwise, I would not have written it.—A Pledge. MOTHERS HONORED Carpe Diem conducted a special spring program April 18 in honor of the mothers of the club members. The meeting was held in the music room and President Paine acted as chairman. Mrs. Kathryn Northrup, a distinguished dramatist of the community, favored the audience with the reading of one story and two one-act plays. She was very favorably received, and her work was found to be instructive as well as entertaining. Miss Ruth Dyer played a piano solo entitled "Prel¬ude" by Chopin. Light refreshments were then served to the guests, and a few moments of a friendly get-together followed in order that the mothers might get better acquainted and learn the interests and hopes of Carpe Diem, A special guest from the faculty was our vice principal, Miss Poulter; also the club advisors, Mr. Ed. Smith and Mrs. Newcomb, were in attendance. The girls sang one of their club sonks which was composed by Mr. Smith. The mothers understand better the ideals of the club and the program of work for the year. We feel very honored at entertaining our mothers, and we feel sure that they will visit the club meetings often and take a still more active interest in the functions of Carpe Diem.— Reporter. A FEW RULES FOR SUCCESS "The question is not, what can you do? but, what can you and God do together"—Lyman Abbott. "Form a plan — have an object; then work for it; learn all you can about it, and you will be sure to succeed."—Waters. "Working without a program Is like sailing a ship without rudders or compass." "Impossible is a word found only in the dictionary of fools." — Napoleon. "Keep moving. Things move so fast these days that people who say "It can't be done" are interrupted by people who do it."—Patrick H. Houlahan. More later.—M. P. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1934. Junior Class Eager To Show Social Ability Annual Prom Will Take Place Friday Night At Berthana OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Although we juniors have been called "greenhorns" all year, we have been around now, as the saying goes, and we are going to show our better selves in our presentation of the annual junior prom. This is the one and only chance the juniors have of showing the seniors up, and we surely are taking advantage of it. The dance promises to be bigger and better than ever, in spite of the shortage of funds. The success depends a great deal on your sup¬port, seniors, so help us by attend¬ing. The time is Friday evening, and the place is the Berthana. The price of admission is 75 cents a couple, and as stags are not encouraged, the price for them is 50 cents. The prom is to be semi-formal, and there are to be no flowers. Don't forget, boys, get your date with the pretty so- and-so and look forward to the time of your life at the annual junior prom. Seniors, present your invitations at the door.—Annable Lee. OUR RIGHTS Now that it has been proven that all men are created on an equal basis, we girls should like to see the time when the female would be given her full right to compete with men in all lines of endeavor. It is true that we are now enjoy¬ing a great many new privileges. The older women are given the right to vote, the right to hold public of¬fices, and a few more rights. But how about the younger girls? Must we wait until we are 18 to en¬joy a. bit of freedom? The entire plea of we poor, ne¬glected girls might be summed up in one demand, "more girls' activity!" The boys in the schools have bas¬ketball leagues, why can't we girls have one? The girls are just as likely to be good marksmen with a gun as the boys, why can't we have a rifle team? The game of tennis now has the school sitting on the edge of its seat; the boys dominate the sport! Why not have a girls' tournament? Why must there be two boys to one girl holding student body of¬fices? Girls, let's make known our wants and defend our rights!—F.B. GRADUATION DAY One of the happiest, yet saddest times of a senior student's life is slowly approaching, graduation day. Some students are dreading the approaching two report cards for fear they will carry the dreaded news that the student is not going to be among those marching up to get their diplomas. Other students are dreaming in their classes, much to the annoy¬ance of teachers, of their gradua¬tion clothes and of what they are going to do when they are out of school. Still others are thinking of all the good times they have had at good old Ogden High in spite of the long, tedious hours they spent in studying. While seniors are thus thinking of graduation day, we juniors are plodding slowly along with our les-sons, patiently waiting for next year when we, too, will be dreaming of garduation day. ORATORICAL EVENT Better late than never, so con¬gratulations Blaine and Grant. Just in case you students, and readers of the Ogden High school notes, didn't know it, Blaine Larson won second place in the recent Lew¬is contest. Grant Burton, our oth¬er entrant, came away with fourth place. It-seems that the purpose of For¬um, or part of the purpose, is to fur¬ther public speaking. Both boys are members of that club and we may be sure that Forum is indeed hold¬ing up its standards. Last year first and second place; this year second and fourth. Verily, verily I say unto you, Ogden High school is a rival worthy of consid¬eration. The students and faculty of Og¬den High school wish to express their most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Dave Peterson and family in their hour of sorrow at the parsing of their father, Lars K. Peterson. PLENTY OF NOISE Beware of broken eardrums "while studying (?) in the library. The weight of those doors, or the lazi-ness of students, or sompin, is just too much for us, because bang- slam—crash is all we hear. From about a hundred exits and entries I actually counted five who didn't slam the door! Aha—a confession! Miss Wadsworth, the librarian, admits that she is guilty of that modern mon-strosity thinking only on Mondays. She says, but, teacher dear, that's one day too often. BALLOTING SOON Just what is this subject that everyone is talking about of late? Of course you have heard about it! It is the election of student body of¬ficers for the coming year. Every member of the Ogden High student body should support stu¬dents for officers who are capable of handling the task of running the affairs of the school as President Grant Jensen, Vice President Barbara Reeves and Secretary Clifford Thorne have done during this year. Lets have more officers like these to make Ogden High a more pro¬gressive and successful school. GOOD NEWS The following telegram was re¬ceived Monday from Joseph R. Knowland, president of the board of trustees of Mills college, by Prin¬cipal A. M. Merrill: "Upon recommendation of presi¬dent of the college and committee on awards, trustees of Mills college designate your school as one of 50 outstanding schools of nation in¬vited to send a special representa¬tive to Mills college next year to study as a trustee scholar with young women from 25 honor schools of California. Letter follows." Miss Charlene Woods has been se¬lected to represent Ogden High at Mills college. The scholarship rep-resents $400 tuition fees, plus $100 in cash.
