Show WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1934. Time Arrives For Class To Place Orders Announcement Cards for Graduation Will Soon Be Printed OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jacfe Bennett—Associate Editor Seniors: Commencement is, as you know, just six weeks away. As the announcement cards must yet be ordered and printed, it leaves very little time. Orders for the cards will be taken only in Mrs. Newcomb's room each afternoon this week from three- thirty until four-thirty. The cards this year are nine cents each and must be paid for when they are ordered. Be sure to get your orders in immediately. OF COURAGE When graduation from high school is completed, we will be thrown out into a cold, non-recep¬tive world wondering what our next move will be. Here valor must come to our rescue, the valor born of wisdom must play a part. Youth is only partially prepared to face the world, because we are immature in moral courage. But we can aspire to great heights if we ac¬cept the challenges , that have been issued. It is a well known fact that things attained by work can long be re¬membered. Thus courage is built by opposi¬tion, for youth will always struggle to maintain their inalienable rights. Youth will ever move onward, real success being attained through the application of courage gained by ex¬perience, for the wisdom gained by experience is valor. Courage lives when man to cour¬age all assurance gives, with ex¬perience being the forerunner of ap-plied action. Let us grasp the torch! Ever on¬ward moving, gaining courage by challenging and by expelling repul¬sive measures!—Grant Jensen. SURPRISE CALL From the top of the top to the bottom of the bottom! I wonder how many students have said that today. You know what I mean, and you have proof. Where? Your report cards! In one class recently, the note¬books were called in quite on the spur of the moment. There was no time to work them over and catch up on the back lessons. Just as a result of this surprise, I know many students whose grades have fallen from the top of the top to the bot¬tom of the bottom. This really wasn't unfair because the teacher was only calling for work which should have been completed. Better take heed, students, and prepare each lesson as it is assigned or you will be in the same awk-ward predicament as Mrs. New- comb's students were! Live and learn! ADVICE CORNER Dear Nose-All: What can I do when I am troubled with young men whose thoughts "have lightly turn¬ed to love?" They are extremely annoying.—Miss Popularity. Dear Miss Popularity: A new vitamin, X, which is a positive cure for the love-sick young men, has been discovered. This vitamin is presented in great quantities in garlic. I'd advise you to carry a bit in your pocket, and when you see the symptoms coming on, just take a nibble.—Nose-All. TWO LITTLE WORDS Thankfulness is one of the great¬est gifts of the gods, one of the most pleasing qualities an individual may possess. Yet some students are actually unable to express verbally their gratitude for the many small privileges they enjoy. This is as¬tounding—but true. Some are always in too big of a hurry to stop and acknowledge favors, others do not really believe that such a small item is important. But oh, how important it is! Would it not, indeed, seem a sel¬fish, indifferent world if every one did not thank his comrades or ac-quaintances for remembered kind¬nesses? Would ingratitude not take the happiness and pleasure from wishing to help each other? The answer is unquestionably in the af¬firmative. Then let us not ever for¬get to be polite, let us no% forget to show our appreciation. If school taught us nothing, it would nevertheless be a great in¬stitution if it taught us how to say these two little words—thank you.—Emily Merrill. MORE SUCCESS RULES "You are born to victory."—Emer¬son. "Every one can make his mark in the world—even thought it be in the snow"—Joseph J. Lamb. "It is not the. talent that men lack, it is the will to labor, it is the purpose." "They can because they believe they can."—Virgil. "We all yearn and aspire, but few of us determine."—Wm. H. Martin. —M.P. A VOCABULARY . How can a good vocabulary be ac¬quired? Well, all you need to do is to go to a good old Webster and I am sure the words will be granted you. Why do we hesitate to increase our word knowledge? There is no reason. We are simply too lazy to make ourselves ! comfortable. We get along poorly without the words that make us in¬teresting to people. So, let me suggest that you write every new word in a small note book, find the meaning, and then review it every night If you work enthusiastically I am sure you will succeed. So, come on students and soil those pages of the dictionary. They won't mind it. GOING TO COLLEGE Of 372 seniors reporting, 198 def¬initely reported that they expect to go to college as follows: Weber, 95; Agricultural college, 23; University of Utah, 20; Business college 15; out of state, 38; 66 are undecided as to whether they shall go to college.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1934. Schools Can Give Basis Of Personality Knowledge, Wisdom, Cour¬age Result In Valuable Life Asset OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor The world has always made room for capable leaders. In this time of distress the paramount wish of the people is to trust the welfare of their country into the hands of an outstanding individual. In this era we have given full faith to Frank¬lin D. Roosevelt, and he has proved himself an excellent captain of in¬dustry. Back of his success lies a widley discussed, much sought for trait—personality! To attract attention, to incur the confidence of others, to make friends one must possess a person-ality. Personality of a person is de¬termined, first, by his knowledge, for a learned man makes an excel-lent conversationalist; second, wis¬dom, for wise men know what is appropriate for each occasion, third, courage, for the greatest virtue that leads man onward and is the basis of all action is courage. Thus per¬sonality is the product of diligent, applied effort, spread over a reasonably long period. School can be made an institution for developing knowledge, wisdom, and courage, which when combined, lead to per¬sonality.—Grant Jensen. ENTRANCE EXAMS On Friday and Saturday at the high school examinations for en¬trance to the California School of Technology will be given by Mr. Merrill. These examinations are not only for entrance, but also are part of the competition for scholarships that are offered by the institute. These tests are long and gruelling, as they last for two days and are only to be attempted by persons well versed in mathematics, science, physics, and other subjects equally as hard. There are only two persons from Ogden High who will try to pass. They are Jim Bevin and Ro¬land Stone. Good luck! And may you both win scholarships. —J. B. PAGEANT TO BE TOPIC Once again the girls were given the lead over the boys when they were dismissed at three-fifteen for an assembly. The purpose of this assembly was a discussion on the pageant for the Mother's Tea, next Wednesday at one-thirty. The ideal girl, as chosen by Girls' council, was announced as Miss Arda Phillips. There are many girls in O. H. S. who possess the qualities of an ideal girl, such as friendliness, person¬ality, charm, etc. considered on the three sides, spiritual, mental and physical, that the names are finally put in the hat and drawn. The lucky girl is Arda Phillips. Con¬grats, girls. PROM AT BERTHANA Students of Ogden. High school: My purpose in writing this article is to invite, entreat, or otherwise intrigue you to attend the annual Ogden High school Junior prom, which will be held at the Berthana ballroom this Friday, April 27. The price of admission is seventy-five cents a couple or fifty cents for lone eagles. The prom will be an elaborate affair this year, the theme being one of a modernistic nature. It will be semi-formal and corsages are "taboo." We shall be waiting to welcome you Friday to the Berthana and; we trust we shall not wait in vain —Junior Class. QUESTION Dear Nose-All: Could you tell me the best way to remove paint?— Hot Poppa. Dear Hot Poppa: An application of hot lye will do it—but that is pretty hard on the face. —Nose-All. LOOKING AHEAD To most of us, a note is just a note. The bookkeeping students of the school, however, have become acquainted with a new use of the term note. Inasmuch as commercial students intend to some day come in contact with the world of busi¬ness, they are now making a study of promissory notes and the trans¬actions brought about by this inter¬esting study. From this course they have learned that thousands of dol¬lars are spent each day by use of check, draft, and note. It has been explained that very few business agreements are ever broken unless it is impossible to help it. Bookkeeping is a very world like subject. There is nothing "booky" about the work taught. One of the real reasons why this course is so well liked is because the present students can see for themselves the huge work that is going on in the business world. They realize that their present school will some day be called into use in a business es¬tablishment. Students, we must take subjects! now that will teach us to take part tomorrow.—Blaine Larsen. COLLEGE VISITED My visit to the Utah State Agri¬cultural college not only proved an enjoyable one but also gave me an insight ton college life and a firm desire to go to college. I was strongly impressed with the friend¬ly sprit and good will with which we students were received and also with the hospitality shown us. The music which the Glee club rendered at the president's assem¬bly proved most interesting to me and offered a line in which I should like to study. From the several events of the day, I enjoyed most the student assembly. It was a source of enjoy-ment from beginning to end and was given in such a professional manner that it was hard to believi it the work of students—Arda Phil¬lips. |
