Thoughts of Pupils Turn To Vacation Yearning Persists Above Myriad Activities of Closing Period OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Wouldn't you hate to be out of school? Imagine life without the ex¬pectations that come with the end of a school year. The assemblies, boys' youth week parade, the thrills of graduation, and even the heat, all seem to be the line of thought for one and all. Yet isn't it funny how the last few weeks seem to drag? This must be because we are all anxious for our annual vacation. We say that we will be glad when school is out for the year, yet in our hearts when the last few days arrive we begin a period of reminiscence. We recall all of the glorious times that we have had during the short time we have been together. We begin wondering whether we really are as enthused as we pretend to be. We decide that after all the teachers are not half as offensive, disagree¬able and annoying as we sometimes believed. Especially when they think up those projects we must have completed before the year is through, or maybe I should say be¬fore we receive any credit for all the rest of our strenuous labor. Then when we receive the last report card for one year, we know it isn't such a bad place after all.—Norma Lon¬don. BUSINESS WOMEN The past six weeks, Mrs. Whites' hygiene classes have been studying the future business women of Am¬erica, their opportunities and how a position may be obtained. The project for this six weeks consists of a report of seven posi¬tions held by women, such as nurs¬ing, stenography, interior decorat¬ing, and many more. These reports give us a good idea of the profes¬sion we would like to follow and also an idea of the education and facts necessary in getting a position. These reports, along with lectures given by Mrs. White, have been very helpful to tfcft girls, who are soon to become the future business women of America.—Margaret Giles. SWALLOWED DICTIONARY (a mystery) "What ho! The man is raving 'loong'. He hath been chewed by a rattle¬snake."—anonymous. It has been observed that certain students wend their ways around the halls of our educational estab-lishment calling each other such en¬dearing names as sticky gelatinous masses and tri-valent bounders. This obvious dissention threatens the peace of our school and must be checked immediately. Probing deeper into the subject we find that there must be a reason (Sherlock Holmes stuff), and where there is a reason there must be a solution. Careful deduction (again we are indebted to Mr. Holmes) shows that such words as odoriferous essence of hydrogen sulfide could only ema¬nate from one source, wouldn't stoop to such a level as the accusation of anyone, but it is very apparent that for the good of our school a hint must be dropped to the offender by someone. Perhaps it is only the subject he teaches or the smell of the acids. he handles that accounts for the oratory. Don't worry, "Dear Sir," your secret is safe in my hands but be¬ware, there is a limit to human en-durance.—Anonymous. TAJ MAHAL Across the river, through the twilight haze, A swelling dome stands out in sharp relief— A dream castle come true, an ethereal blaze The Idol built to silence royal grief. Jehan, the greatest lover of them all Immortalized the object of his passion. Her chastity is carved in Taj's wall. Her beauty, majesty, he too did fashion. Some day I hope to see thee marble maid, Although the waves be rough, the by-ways long, For I am young, and I am un¬afraid. Life's treasures can't be purchased for a song. When I need strength to guide me through the years, I'll see thee shining, smiling through my tears. Helen Fletcher VI—All rights re¬served. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1934. Student Body Leaders Make Good Record Cong ratulations Tendered To Trio Directing Year's Activities OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor In behalf of the Student Body as¬sociation we wish to congratulate the outgoing officers on the splendid work they have accomplished during the past year. We realize the problems that have been met and overcome by their fine spirit. An almost unbeatable chal¬lenge is presented a student body during a depression. Lack of funds hampers the prog¬ress of school social activity. Our athletic teams have had to cut down expenses. It was impossible to have an opera. All in all, it has been a hard year for the student body. Much of the burden of these problems has rested on the shoulders of the stu¬dent body officials. Due to the splendid work of these students we have somehow manag¬ed to get by. No group of officers has had the welfare of the student body as much in mind as have Grant, Barbara, and Clifford. They have done all I in their power to give us fine as- semblies, good school dances, and all worthy school activity. In spite of a lack of the proper funds, they have been partially successful. Our hope for the student body of Ogden High school next year is that we shall be able to uphold the splendid standard so finely upheld this year by Grant Jensen, Barbara Reeve, and Clifford Thorne.—Signed: Dick Baxter, Bertha Barker and Blaine Larsen. HEARTY GREETINGS We wish to extend our heartiest congratulations to the following students who will hold responsible po¬sitions in the student body next year La Vin Cragun, future editor of the annual Classicum, Virginia McNamara, associate editor, 'and Strat¬ford Smith, business manager. To Frantzen Todd, athletic manager, Barbara Taylor, editor of the Daily Journal Notes, and Helen Fletcher, associate editor. To Emily Merrill, editor, and Blaine Larsen, associate editor, who will edit this column in 34 and 35. With such an excel¬lent group we can hope for a rip roaring year. COLUMN NO PICNIC Getting out a column is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious. If we publish original material they say we lack variety. If we publish things from other papers, we are plagiarists. If we don't print contributions, we don't show our appreciation. If we do print them, they say the Notes are filled with trash. Like as not, someone will say we pinched this from some other pa¬per. We did. Dear Nose All: Can the girls wear corsages at the graduation exercises? Dear —: The girls are requested not to wear corsages at the graduation exercises. I should like to add that ! no flowers will be given on the stage. All students are requested to abide by the regulation.—Nose All. RIPE FRUIT I hear that an extremely inter¬esting civics class was held on the steps in front of Dave Peterson's room. According to some of the students (?) they learned more that day than they had learned for a long time. How intelligent they must be other times, then. I wonder if the green sweater and the red hair of one William Cook can account for the fatal at¬traction he has for one Lucille Un¬derwood. If so, I'll have to try it. I know two little boys who tried to write some articles for the Notes, once upon a time. After employ-ing their superior intellect, (very futilely, indeed), for some great length of time, they were so com-pletely and utterly exhausted that they were unable to attend this in¬stitution of learning the following day. Why all the dark rimmed glass¬es around here, huh? Are they used to protect the eyes from the sun, or to hide black eyes? I'm awfully cur¬ious. Come on, tell me.—Apple-seed. NEW MEMBERS Last Wednesday, Tri Delta met to select the last group of pledges for this year. We are pleased to an-nounce the names of the girls who were chosen: Helen Harlin, Mar- jorie Schoss, Enid Kunz, Alberta Masters, Rosalie Malin. Congrat¬ulations, girls. We wish you luck, and hope you will be able to carry 1 on the duties of the club as success- j fully as they have been performed I this past year.—Reporter. Dear Mr. Nose-All: Why does the school not ask the three handsome youths of Ogden High school to play their musical saws in our next assembly.—Ducky. Dear Ducky: Inasmuch as there remains only one more assembly, and that will certainly be given over to something different that miscellaneous musical numbers, that it ic rather late to make such a suggestion.—Mr. Nose- All. THE FASHION SHOW The entertainment, a one-act play readings, music, given in high school last evening, was quite successful. We had a goodly number of par¬ents with us. We hope to have even a larger number to the fashion show this evening. Miss Corless of the sewing department always puts on a good exhibit of dressmaking. |
