WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, Regret Felt As Seniors About To Go Juniors Realize They Must Take Up Burden of Leadership OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor The seniors are not the only ones who regret their leaving of dear old Alma Mater. We, the juniors, regret this fact as much as the seniors themselves. While a junior, we have someone to look up to; someone in whom we like to confide; some¬one to love and honor; and someone to praise or blame for the doings of the school. The seniors carry all the real responsibilities, and the success of the year depends upon them. We know the seniors will at¬tend to things, and our minds are free from worry. Next school year all of the responsibility falls upon us, and we only hope that as sen¬iors we may be able to uphold the standards of Ogden High school as well as the seniors have done this year. We wish the seniors all the success in the world, and hope that they will remember the juniors. — Phyllis Mayer. FUTURE PRESIDENT Students, we are confronted with a very difficult task when it comes to choosing our student body presi¬dent from the six worthy candi¬dates. Our future president must fulfill several qualifications. He must be able to hold the attention of an audience; he must be a good scholar; he must be keenly in-terested in all student body activi¬ties; he must be known and liked by all; he must have a wonderful personality; and he must be the best possible choice of the stu¬dents. The one candidate who fills all of these qualifications could be none other than Dan Alsup. Give Dan your support and lock forward to an extremely prosperous year for Ogden High—Princess Pat. MUSIC ADVANCING Music is becoming one of the most essential subjects of our education. This is being recognized by some of the most famous men in the world. At a convention recently held in Chicago, which was attended by famous men from all parts of the world, it was stated that "Music is no longer a minor, but a major subject." This should have been recogniz¬ed many years ago. The human race would have been greatly benefited had it been so. There is hardly a day when mu¬sic does not enter into our lives in some form. Think what a dull old world this would be if it didn't. In spite of this fact it has taken very many years to recognize that music should be a major subject in the educational systems of the na¬tion. A good many musicians are the highest paid men in the world; and yet a young man trying to make a musician of himself is required to major in every subject except mu¬sic. Many schools of the nation have recognized music and are really ad¬vancing in educational standards. A survey in the Springfield, Mo., public schools reveals that the stu¬dents studying music are far ahead of those who do not. In our school we have one of the most capable directors in Mr. Glenn Hanson, to be found any¬where. If given a little backing he could and would develop a music department that would make dear old O. H. S. proud. O. H, S. should have a one-hundred piece orchestra, a band of the same number and the glee clubs should be twice to three times as large as they are at present. Let's see to it that next year Mr. Hanson receives the support he needs to realize these accomplish-ments,—Kling Klung. MERCHANT PRINCE Mr. J. C. Penney, famed merchant, visited Ogden High school yesterday and addressed the student body in a special assembly. Mr. Prank Francis, the writer of ; News and Views, introduced Mr. Penney, who talked very inspiringly on his life, his ambitions, and his. achievements. We were told of his early life, the death of his father, his failure as a butcher and then his entry into the commercial world in Wyoming as a worker in a dry goods store. Mr. Penney worked very diligently as a clerk, was promoted to assistant manager and was then made a one-third partner in one of the five stores of the chain. It was then that he got the idea of forming a company of stores with each manager as a partner. Mr. Penney started his chain with the dream of having twenty-five links in his mercantile chain. His stores now number fifteen hundred. Mr. Penney told the students of the value of ambition, determina¬tion and perseverance. He advised the young people of the requisites a person must have to succeed and he then gave a bit of philosophy by saying, "Opportunities are measur¬ed by a person's industry.—J. B. KEEP UP You may lose your text books, you may break your pencil during a test, but for heaven's sake don't "get behind" in typing. Of all the ill winds that blow upon high school students, this misfortune is about the worst. To a student three weeks behind in typing the irritating clicking of type keys is the one sure way of becoming totally mad. Anxious to see that you make up your back work your typing teach¬er present a special invitation to attend a party behind a nice noisy typewriter. Most invitations are not readily accepted. Thus the fine, sunny afternoons are spent at the party (?). If we have other things to do we must dodge the teacher. To make our lives more miserab:2, our report cards come out marked in the typing column with a very, very bad mark. Then we either take our cards home to father and moth¬er (and you can guess what fol¬lows) or we take a chance on hand¬ing the card in face up. —Blaine Larsen. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1934. Apron Used To Indicate Range Skill Unusual Tests Held In Home Economics Classes OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor In our home economics classes we have learned a great deal in preparing of breakfasts, dinners and luncheons. One lesson that helped us out a great deal in our home cook¬ing was the making of bread. Each girl made a loaf of bread at home and brought it to school, where it was graded on appearance, taste and color. Miss Jones has taken up a new idea of giving tests. Twice each week five girls are given one thing to cook. They are judged by the appearance of their apron, how they go about their work and how the apron looks when done. This way of giving tests makes the subject more interesting. Not much is said about the home economics classes, but if one were to visit us I'm sure they would think the girls were doing some good work.—Le Ida Roberts. SONG There's nothing in all this world So sweet as a beautiful song, A carol to cheer weary hearts When everything seems to go wrong. Sweet melodies are the might Which can keep life moving along— And God seems to speak to us When we hear a beautiful song. —Elizabeth Parkinson. HAS THE FLAVOR LASTED? The manufacturer of a well- known chewing gum advertises his product by making the statement that "the flavor lasts." The school year is rapidly draw¬ing to a conclusion. During this school term a great many new friends have been made, perhaps lots of old friends have drifted out , of our friendship. We have met and associated with new students and new teachers. We have begun to r take up our school work in new fields, fields that we had never before known, art, R. O. T. C., ad¬vanced mathematics, typing, and many more subjects. In other words, we have come to know high school and all it has to offer. Naturally, as is the case of the young man with the new car, we were anxious to investigate; we were interested in our new surroundings. To most of us life just took on a new mean¬ing; we had a fresh stick of chew¬ing gum in our mouths! Now the year is almost spent. Has the flavor lasted? Do we appreciate our newly-made friends as we did at the first of the year. Are we as ambitious to get to work at our new subjects? If we cannot answer yes to these questions, if we can't say that we are still interested, then the flavor has not lasted and the , gum did not have the flavor we thought it had. To make a long story short, have we enjoyed high school? We hope that all the jun¬ior class will agree with us when we say that we know the flavor has lasted. The high school has fulfill¬ed its promises! —Blaine Larsen. SYMPATHY We, the students and faculty of O. H. S. extend our sincere sympa¬thy to Arleen Ballinger and family over the sudden passing of their father. SPRING As the warm sun rises each flow¬er raises its droopy head to greet him. South wind gently breezes along, and the tiny blossoms nod their heads in unison. The birds sing merrily as they gather tiny bits to help toward the building of their nests. Almost everywhere we look, we can see children riding bicycles, roller skating, playing ball, or play¬ing some sort of game. The stores are literally packed with people buying their spring apparel. New hats, gloves, suits, shoes, purses, belts, jackets, light airy dresses, etc. can be seen everywhere. Oh, what a joyous time is spring! SUMMER LONGING Just four more weeks, we count on the calender. Then away we will flap our wings to bluer skies and greener pastures or stay home to sunny days of basking in the sun. Oh-h-h, we sigh with insuppressible envy of birds singing in the open air, bees drowsily humming on the aromatic, blooming flowers, or utuer living creatures, really living outside of a school's interior. We long with intensity to again I feel the warmth of a hot fiery sun beat down on our shoulders In hik-ing over vegetated hills, to feel cxi waters lap againct our bodies, to exultantly ride through invigorating breezes, brushing against our cheeks. In summer, that is life. Then, next fall we come prepared to exert every energy for school life, after satisfying to completion that exuberant summer longing. —Emily Merrill.
