FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1934. Dreamer Can Succeed If Effort Made Determination Needed To Bring Visions To Reality OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—-Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor We hear a great deal of talk about the impractical dreamer, of people whose heads are in the stars while their feet are on earth; but where would we be today but for dreamers?—perhaps still riding in stage coaches or reading by candle light. A dreamer cries "It can and it shall be done," and he persists in his dreams through all sorts of pri¬vations, even to the point of star¬vation. How people laughed at the dream¬er, Charles Goodyear, who strug¬gled eleven long years, trying to make India rubber of practical use. The dream of Cyrus W. Field, which tied two continents together by the ocean cable was denounced as worse than folly. Albert Bell, Edison and Marconi also suffered inconceivable miseries from the jeering masses, but they continued their dreaming, making their visions become reali¬ties. Dreaming like anything else may be abused. Many people do nothing but dream, spending their time building air castles which they nev¬er try to make real. Dreaming with¬out effort tends to lower our char-acter. Let's cherish our dreams and try to make them real. It is this that aspires, bids us look up and beck¬ons us higher. — Bernice McKinnon. SECRET REVEALED Frank Oberhansley, our illustrious geology professor, has at last given out the secret of his strength, cour¬age and valor. No, he deosn't eat Wheaties. He attributes his success to the fact that he gets up at four- thirty every morning and goes for a hike. Yet, is does seem an odd way to start the day but we are told that to see the sun come up and the world change its color and life is inspirational. Mr. Oberhansley has seen many queer episodes of the struggle between wild animals for existence. The latest I have heard about his early morning excursions is that he has at last persuaded Ernie Wangsgard to go on one with him; so, if Ernie starts telling his physics classes nature poems, don't be sur¬prised. P. S.: Anyone who can go on a hike at four-thirty in the morning would have to have strength, cour¬age and valor. THANKS The students and teachers of Ogden High school wish to thank Phi Lambda Tau for its donation of $20 to the school library. Next year, the book of the month will appear on the Phi Lambda Tau shelf. This subscription was badly needed and will be appreciated by the school. INTERESTING TALKS Now that the drill suits have been turned in for another year (maybe next year we will not' have to wear the old leggings and breeches be¬cause new uniforms have been or¬dered) cadets at Ogden High are now listening to tales of World war experiences told by war veterans in the faculty. Mr. Farnsworth told how the men were drafted and ex¬plained much of the early training in camp life. He also related many of the most important events of the war. Mr. Kapple also gave us very many interesting facts and brought a number of implements of warfare. The fellows were given the opportunity of seeing a German rifle, a hand grenade, a machine gun, and a French sword. These almost direct contacts with the great war remind us that "war" as Sherman said, "is hell" and we must see to it that there shall be no more wars. —Blaine Larsen. I NOTICE Everyone else has been telling what they have noticed this year —now it is just about my turn. Even the many good looking boys around the school have not been successful in breaking up some of the well-known partnerships. It doesn't pay to sluff! Junior girls seem to be much more popular with the senior boys than do the senior girls. We've had some darned good as¬semblies this year. Even the at¬tendance and conduct has been greatly improved. The girls from Salt Lake still hold the interest of many of our boys. According to one, they act much older—and they look so cute! Yes—Ogden still has the prettiest girls, but Salt Lake's are so different looking. One good way to pass time in a boring class is to count your pulse, beats in a minute, from the time the clock clicks until the next click. You're apt to lose count, though, when the teacher calls on you. The graduating class of 1934 ac¬tually knows the Ogden High hymn —the first time in the history of the school. Doesn't one hate to leave school when he knows he may never return again? In a way, the ending of school always makes one look for¬ward to his vacation and fun in the summer. Often one does not realize the fact, but his school days are the happiest days of his life. It has been at school I have made my favorite acquaintances and is it not with them that we enjoy our summer. I know every year about two months ahead I begin counting the days when school will close, but then in the middle of the summer I become anxious and begin count¬ing the days when school will open again—Happy school days. —Ruth Ririe. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1934. O. H. S. Gains By Leadership Of Principal Pupils Take Opportunity To Review High Standards OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor Has it ever occurred to you how much Principal Merrill has done for this school. For instance, he has improved the morale of our school. He has given us a greater advantage. He has given us a bet¬ter education. He has tried to make us see life as it is, not how we hope it to be. He has also tried to make us better citizens for the future. He has ever upheld high stand¬ards of scholarship. We only half appreciate him, students. But of course, we are young and do not see life now as we will in the fu¬ture. Just a few words of encourage¬ment to Mr. Merrill —We thank you—"For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap." "Spiritual progress is made by work, by sacrifice, by the practice of the Christian virtues, by benev-olence, by self-denial, by resisting the adversary, by making valiant war for God, and against sin." — Fowler, A Follower. EXCELLENT IDEA I hope the Pine View dam will soon be completed so that the stu¬dents in the near future will not have to write compositions for Eng¬lish teachers about conservation of water.—Dummie. ZETA REPORT Zeta Phi Xi recently held their serious initiation. Beth Spencer, Bertha Barker and Phyllis became full fledged members. The event was solemnized at the home of Mar¬ian Wilson. After accepting the girls into the club, dinner was served. The table was decorated with white roses. We congratulate you, new members, and wish you all success possible in carrying on your work in Zeta.—Zeta Reporter. PHI LAMBDA TAU We introduce to you Virginia Tracy and Anna Belle Hubbell as our choice for pledges to Phi Lamb¬da Tau. We are sure we have chos¬en wisely and wish to congratulate these perfectly lovely girls on their good fortune. That they may enjoy our club as thoroughly as we have enjoyed it is our sincerest wish to them.—Phi Lam Reporter. I HAVE NOTICED More things I've noticed this year: Miss Poulter has some of the most beautiful history notebooks that I have ever seen! Also, Mrs. McKey is exhibiting some grand English notebooks. There has been more dramatic and musical talent in school this year than ever before. At the exhi¬bit the other night, special praise was given to the acapella chorus. Too bad more students couldn't have joined. The best place to make friends is across the room in the library. That's lots of fun—I know! Miss Woolley's oral expression classes have all learned the correct behavior at a banquet. Anyway, they should have learned, after the many mock banquets, and the real blowout held at Dick's. Now, when¬ever any one of these students is called upon to give a speech or respond to a toast, he certainly will know the correct procedure. Low-backed dresses are not the correct things to be worn by high school students. We are only "sweet young things" until we get out of college. Lloyd Frederickson can't seem to make up his mind as to what girl he wants. You'd better make up your mind soon, old boy, you'll get left—school's almost out! The clubs around school have ac¬complished a lot this year. Even Congress and Forum have done their part, not only in sponsoring debat¬ing in junior high schools, but in displaying their ability in various classes throughout the year. Between Bob Buswell and Mark Child, Marion Wilson is still being kept busy. Why don't you choose one, Marion, and give someone else a chance. With such ambitious people as Emily Merrill and Blaine Larson working on The Standard-Examiner notes; Barbara Taylor and Helen Fletcher on the Journal notes, and Lavin Cragun, Virginia McNamara and Stratford Smith on the Classi- cum, we're sure to have bigger and better news than ever before next year. The president of Forum raised a mighty fuss when one of the jun¬ior members gave his pin away. Now can't you imagine how greatly the morale of the club would be lowered when this same, exacting president, Tony Y., gave his pin away?— to a junior girl at that! Well Valine— all we can say is "more power to you."
