FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1934. School Happy Over Results Of Balloting Dick Baxter, Bertha Barker and Blaine Larson Elected No, Grant, Ogden High school pupils are not anxious to get rid of you, but we're happy over the out-come of the election anyway. Dick Baxter will be an excellent presi¬dent—wo ftB know he's a very capa¬ble lad. A very charming girl, Bertha Barker, will fill her office in a fashion which will do old O. H. S. proud, and Blaine Larsen will be able to eeip his records neatly as secretary of the school. We wish to extend our heartiest congratula¬tions to the defeated candidates as well as the winners. They put up an excellent race—M. P. FOR AWARDS Block "O"s have been greatly dis¬cussed lately, so I thought I'd add my bit. To begin with, we presume Grant Jensen will get one; the student body president usually does, but how about the remaining nine? Norman Carroll may receive one for his untiring labor on our year¬book. With these two more or less positive factors I shall proceed to name and qualify two or three other outstanding students. Miss Ruth Ketchie is certainly an outstanding student. Secretary of the senior class, winner of the D. A. R. contest, stage manager of the school play, scrapbook edi¬tor—doesn't she deserve an award? "Tony" Yarbrough, winner of the debating contest, extemporaneous speaker, school play lead, president of Forum, and head of the social committee in charge of our dances. Give him one, too. Marion Wilson has excelled in dramatic work, per¬forming in the school play and in numerous assemblies. She is also secretary of the Girls' association, t She certainly deserves one. Come on; do your duty and give Marion, Tony and Ruth each a block "O"! OGDEN WINS Wednesday afternoon Ogden High school met Weber High in the first of a three-game series of baseball for the annual Sears, Roebuck award. Although Ogden was the winner, the victory was by no means an easy one. The Ogden team allowed six runners to cross the plate in the first two innings, but soon set¬tled down and did not permit an-other Weberite to score. Peterson, Jensen and Greenwell starred for the winners. For Weber, Wilkinson pitched a wonderful game, but lacked the proper support of the team. Carter also shined at center field with two brilliant catches. The game was very interesting and was enjoyed by all. The second game of the series will be played Monday afternoon at the stadium.—Don Smith. LETTERS TO FRANCE Some of the French students have received a thrill by being able to write letters to France. A couple of months ago they joined an in¬ternational correspondence agency. Later on they each received the name and address of a French boy or girl, who wanted to correspond with someone in the United States. The French boys and girls are studying English. The students wrote their first let¬ters in English. Most of them wrote something about themselves, their school and their city. In about two weeks they will receive a letter from France, which will be written in French. Letters are being sent to all parts of France—Cannes, towns near Paris, and places In the east and west. Besides being a pleasing and in¬teresting diversion, the correspond¬ence work tends to broaden the stu¬dents' French education and fa¬miliarize them with the customs of France.—Constance Everts. MOTHER'S DAY To me one of the grandest days In the year is Mother's day. On this day Mother should have a hol¬iday and do something besides work. 1 She should be able to rest all day and enjoy herself while the family does the work she does every day in the year. May the thirteenth is Mother's day. Let your mother have a grand time to remember in the years to come. Prepare something nice to surprise her and give her a good time. A man's best friend is his mother, so why shouldn't we show her that we appreciate her more than anything else? TO MOTHERS There is an isle of enchantment Here in our hearts, An isle of beautiful dreams. Here you will linger— Always, sweetheart, Where love will radiantly gleam. —Emily Merrill. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1934. Teacher Also Feeling 'Long Grind' Effect Instructors and Pupils Are Looking Forward To Vacation Have you ever been tired—so tired that whenever you tried to accom¬plish something you fell asleep in the attempt? Has your brain simply refused to function? Just about this time of the year Ogden High school students can answer: "yes!" to practically all such questions. There comes a time in a student's life when everything is just a little topsy turvy. There are so many things to think about—and worry about too. Assignments ac¬cumulate so fast that one wonders if he can ever catch up. With so many interesting and important events happening it is difficult for a pupil to settle down to study. I can think of one consoling fact, and that is the tired feeling is mutual, because the teachers are just as eager for a well-earned rest as are the students. Cheer up, for vacation time is not far off! The tired feeling will soon disappear, and we shall be living in leisure. — Blondy. ERASER'S THEME SONG Pity me, oh masters, pity me! Such is my theme song. For hours I cringe in a dismal pocket to be hurriedly hidden under the most horrible looking creature. I think my master calls it a typewriter. Then with unexpected suddenness my head is grabbed with absolutely no consideration for me, and from the heavy pressure of firm fingers my feet are forced to shilly back and forth over the queerest marks on typing paper! Sometimes I think I would like to evaporate into noth¬ingness when I look upon the crooked, curved, jagged letters of the alphabet, some of which look like crosses and worms. Sometimes some of my rose- colored skin is worn off rubbing out frivolous love notes, wrong answers and other trash. When I am just beginning to peacefully doze, I am seized by someone, and my cleanli-ness is smeared by dirty thumbs. I twist in repulsion at the dark specks covering me, and every day there is an addition of matter to frown at. Finally, after my feet and sides are worn down and my marvelous beauty is spoiled, then I am thrown into discard. Oh, for the life of an eraser!—Emily Merrill. LARGER ORCHESTRA The symphony orchestra of Brig- ham Young university, Provo, under direction of Professor LeRoy J. Robertson, recently gave a concert at O. H. S. The program consisted of the fol¬lowing selections: "Overture Symphonic" composed by Professor Robertson; first movement of Shubert's "Unfinished" symphony; Schubert's "Serenade"; "Oriental Dance" by Lubomerisky; and an encore entitled "Romance"; and an¬other movement from Schubert's "Serenade." Owen Bingham, a mem¬ber of the B. Y. U. Glee Club, gave a vocal solo "Invictus" by Kohn. The orchestra was introduced by Mr. Glenn Hanson, music director of the O. H. S. The orchestra consists of afoout 75 members. "Music doesn't need explanation; it speaks for itself," was the com¬ment given by Mr. Robinson. We certainly enjoyed the concert. Our biggest aim next year is to have an orchestra of 80 students. If every¬one will co-operate we shall have it. Come on, get your instruments now! "Music is one of the foundation stones in the building of a good life."—B. C. ROSES POPULAR I wonder why everybody had to follow my example and wear & rose to school. I guess I'll have to wear two now. Stan—I really admire your taste in girls, especially that blond junior. These insignificant little Juniors should speak to their superiors when they meet in the hall. A smile is O. K. for classrooms, but how about a greeting in the halls—eh Merlin? —Gretchen.
