WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1934. Girls Making Dresses For Fashion Show Light Creations Are Also Intended For Use At Graduation I think one of the busiest places in Ogden High school these days is the sewing department. Just glance in some time when you are go¬ing by and see for yourself. Light, airy, flowery beautiful dresses are in the process of being made. Yes, some of the dresses are being made by the hopeful seniors who dream of wearing these beautiful dresses on that eventful day of May 31. All dresses, however, will be worn in the fashion show on the evening of May 24. To find a sample of real work and progress you ought to visit the sewing room.—Rae. ARE WE TO BLAME Are we, we seniors, to blame for the way we act? Anybody who feels upset and worried all the time can¬not help but go about as if in a dream. We cannot help but won¬der what the exercises will be like, or how we will feel when we receive our diplomas. Another thing, we have extra assignments so that we will complete our work. Now do you blame us for being in a rush and hardly knowing what we are doing half of the time? I ask you "Are we to blame?" —R. B. STRANGE ILLNESS . Isn't it queer how some students become ill every other afternoon? They'd better be careful or their poor health might be fate (to their diploma). We'll admit this weather is awfully tempting; too bad my will power is strong. I heard that "Hobgoblin House" was an exceptionally good play, so I had to go to see it. Sure enough it was excellent. You students don't know what you missed. NEW STUDY As the final literary study of the year, Mr. Thornley's junior Eng¬lish classes are about to undertake the reading.of. books .necessary for college entrance. A reading' list has been given the students to help them make selections of bookSi The list contains books by Scott, Dick¬ens and Goldsmith. After the book is read, the student is to make a lengthy report of his findings. The course offered in the junior Eng¬lish classes this year in a literary way has been most interesting and educational. Both officials and students are rapidly learning the value of a literary course along with the regular grammar. —Blaine Larsen. We hope you enjoyed the first book report. Here's another one to add to the list. HER FATHER'S DAUGHTER By Gene S. Porter Extremely interesting is this nov¬el which tells of a young girl's life after her parents had been killed in an automobile accident. Her father was a great nerve specialist. Linda, the girl, is taken up very much by the author who seemed to put herself in the girl's place. Linda was a girl who loved sports and the out-of-doors. During her life she has lived with the old fam¬ily cook and she later finds that she is no relation to the girl she thought was her sister. See what happens to this roman¬tic, out-of-doors girl as she goes through life trying to carry on her father's work and reputation while many obstacles obstruct her path. What she turns out to be and how she handles every obstacle proves to be very interesting read¬ing.—Virginia Combe. ON EDITORSHIPS Dear Editors: Now that Blaine Larsen has been elected secretary of the school will a new associate editor be elected? Or will Blaine be allowed to be associate next year? Please give us the lowdown.—Won¬dering. Dear Wondering: Blaine will be the associate editor next year, but Emily will be editor. Such situations have arisen before, last year for instance.—Editors. A MERE HINT Once upon a time a little girl thought she could do two things well at the same time. So she sat down to study. "Mother," she said, "I'm going to do every one of my lessons tonight. Honestly I am." "Oh, do you want the radio turn¬ed off?" her mother suggested. "Heavens no," the daughter re¬plied. "Music helps me work." She immediately delved into chemistry and was concentrating so hard, when a drift of Guy Lombardo's orchestra filled the room. Ro¬manticism immediately followed. Her eyes settled on everything but chemistry. Abruptly she remember¬ed that she was, after all, suppos¬ed to be studying. After an hour she began English. Again an inter¬ruption of beautiful melodies filled her thoughts. Nine o'clock, nine- thirty, ten . . . eleven o'clock came and as quickly passed with one-half of her lessons not touched. Next morning, all that she could remember from three hours work was that alloys are more desirable than metals in pure form and that there is a new song hit called "Why don't you - practice what you preach?" Do you get the hint?—Emily Mer¬rill. NEW FRIENDS School is almost out. Some of us are sorry while others are glad. This year especially, we have made a great many acquaintances and we have made many lasting friend¬ships. If it were not for these friendships life would be very dull. When one is feeling blue or dis¬couraged there is nothing like a good friend to cheer him up. A true friend sticks by his pal through thick and thin. No matter what happens to you, if you have a friend like this, you are lucky. One of the most enjoyable things at school is making new friends. Some people who have a fine per-sonality make friends on all sides, while others have a difficult time of it because they are rather back-ward. It would be wonderful if there were more of a feeling of friendliness so that those who are not so forward can feel more at home. Some of these folks make the best of friends once you are ac-quainted with them. Students, let us all endeavor to be friendly to everyone and to promote a spirit of friendliness throughout the school. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1934. Bid Includes Only Seniors And Parents Reception of Ogden High School Will Be Exclusive Ogden High school seniors and their parents are invited to a re¬ception May 31 in the Berthana hall. This is a very exclusive party and none others will be admitted— neither for love nor for money. TIME FLYING Second call for money! Rally 'round, students, or you won't get your yearbook on time. We have our books only about one day be¬fore school is dismissed, so if they Were late, imagine what a catas¬trophe that would be! Get your money in. May 21 is the deadline, rm not advising you to resort to wickedness, but you might even rob your baby brother's bank, if neces¬sary; or buy your mother a bar, and then pop the question! Regardless of methods, be sure to get your money in—the early bird gets the worm—or sumpin'.—M. P. SAD PARTINGS Some juniors are indeed going to sadly miss the seniors when they graduate. All year they have been to dances, shows and other enter¬tainments with them and they had a deep affection for their compan¬ions. Now seniors are leaving, some to go away to a distant college. The juniors are left behind. It is a tradition that some senior boys are always attracted by junior girls, and some senior girls are en-raptured by senior youths. So there will be a sad farewell in both grades. Because of the realization of what each is going to miss in the future from the other's association, their i close friendship and school memor¬ies will be endeared to their hearts, and the sad farewell will poignant¬ly recall to memory the last thirty- six weeks of happiness.—Emily Mer¬rill. SEEN IN THE PARK Strolling in the park one day, In the merry, merry month of May I was taken by surprise by a pair of manly legs Extending from the tree above. If I were a poet my thoughts would run something like the above lines, all of which would explain that a group of fellows were af¬forded the unique opportunity of observing a real, honest to goodness tree-climbing contest in Lester park the other day at noon. Four or five husky fellows were gathered at the foot of tall trees. The contest began when one bet another it was impossible to touch the top and be down again in one minute. True to the adventuresome spirit of youth, a bet was made and the contest was on. According to the self-made time¬keeper the first climb and descent was made in forty-five seconds. Records were to be broken in the next climb as the next fellow made his way through the branches and down again in forty seconds. Many other tries were made and the least time taken in all the attempts was thirty-eight seconds. Just as one fellow vowed to make the trip in thirty seconds, it became necessary to abandon the contest "because of conditions over which we have no control," (school). Too bad! The record might have been broken! — Blaine Larsen. THE YEARBOOK The covers of our Classicum Enclose a memory Of teachers and of dearest friends We some day will not see; Forever will this book endear The memory of one school year. —Elizabeth Parkinson W. Smith—"Paul, give me a def¬inition of a worm." Paul P.—"A worm is a caterpillar coming home from a strip-poker party. GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST (Gene Stratton Porter) This book tells of a young girl Who started out in life under many difficulties, moct of which were re¬sults of her mother's stupidity and devotion to her dead husband's memory. In later years the girl went to school, and when she re¬turned her mother had changed so completely that even her own daughter did not realize that she was the same mother. This is one of Gene Stratton Por¬ter's best novels. This book is one that is enjoyed by everyone. It holds more excitement than concentra¬tion, and is considered by girls as one of their favorite novels. Marie Lehman. OBSERVATIONS Why didn't we have our assembly last Thursday? It was a terrible disappointment. I had to rush to finish my English lesson! Next time I'll know enough not to depend upon short periods. What do you think about our new student body officers? Queer that there should be a student from Central, one from North, and one from South. Here's wishing you lots of success next year. Have you paid your money for your yearbook yet? Better hurry! The Classicum is going to be grand this year. Pay your money to Mr. Robins before May 21, or you'll get your book a day or two late. Mrs. Newcombe has a very truth¬ful class. She wanted to call on someone who didn't know anything about the subject, and the entire class raised their hands. Gee, the days are just flying past —much too fast. Oh, how I hate to get out of school after twelve years—Mademoiselle.
