Fine Effects Are Attained In Yearbook Art Work Outstanding In Latest Edition of Classicum OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor The yearbooks are out—veritable works Of art. The editor and his associates should be complimented on their excellent ideas and special praise should be given to Marjorie Glines who is responsible for all the art in the Classicum. The color scheme is excellent; the planning for the position of the pictures is particularly clever. Congratulations, yearbook staff, on one of the best editions I've seen. Here is the review of one of the most famous books ever written. It should interest you students. It surely wouldn't hurt you to read it, anyway. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE By Jane Austen "Pride and Prejudice" was written by a well experienced novelist Jane Austen, who started writing before the age of twenty-three. Her novels are studies of the life that she saw around her. She accepted her life and all the lives around her as they were. Her writing were not her work but her recreation. She com¬posed with care and corrected with untiring patience. The author prob¬ably inherited her lively imagina¬tion and her refreshing humor from her mother. This novel is written in seven volumes between October 1796, and August 1797. Miss Austen had no private study, but wrote in a general sitting room, subject to constant interruptions. She waited fifteen years for a pub¬lisher, but during that period she revised and renamed her novel, hav¬ing originally called it "First Im¬pressions." One of Miss Austen's strong characteristics is humor. It is the life of her style. The author speaks of "a little bit of ivory two inches wide on which I work with a brush so fine as to produce little effect after much labor." Her method could not be more fitly described. So fine a brush and so exquisite a touch were needed to produce such exquisite miniatures of human nature in surprising variety, as Miss Austen has given us. It is this method that has entranced generations of readers. "Pride and Prejudice" is a novel about the Bennets, a family consist¬ing of the parents and five daugh-ters. The scene is laid in a small town near London, and the time is the early nineteenth century. In this book the author thoroughly ex¬plains the lives and manners of the people in that time. Marrying their daughters off into desirable circum¬stances seems to be the chief aim of the parents. After many entangle¬ments the parents' desires are ac¬complished. Mr. Bennet, the father, has ex¬tremely droll ways and abrupt ac¬tions, which react with humor, as the following passage: Mrs. Bennet: "Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way. You take delight in vexing me. You have no compas¬sion on my poor nerves." Mr. Bennet: "You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least."—Eleanor Aubele. TO THE CLASS OF '34 On plains of learning Have you doubted all their fruits, If you grasped them by their roots, Were worth the learning? Now comes the day when all those years Are memories alone Of times that you have known Of smiles and tears, of hopes and fears. Now must you all seek out your chosen place; With a clean slate For the worst fate, Now must you look life squarely in the face. And may you, everyone, Never lose sight of those goals Nearest your hearts and your souls Until this life is done. —Elizabeth Parkinson. I HAVE NOTICED More things I've noticed this year— We have one grand yearbook, owing to the capable work of the staff. The Notes haven't been so good, owing to the laziness of the student body as a whole. Boys like to talk all about their conquests, etc. Be sure to listen al¬ways, girls, they like to talk to a good listener. Reed Berret seems to get nailed every time he takes out an O. H. S. girl, so he must resort to Salt Lake femmes. Mrs. Newcomb certainly can make up good tests—boy—they're honeys! We're out of school now, and everything's hunkey-dory — for the Juniors! We certainly appreciated our new school a lot. It's a beauty. APPRECIATION To the faculty: We seniors want you to know that we have certain¬ly appreciated your kindness and your help during the two years we have known and worked with you. You have really proved yourself to be great milestones on the road to what we hope will be success. Thanks a lot, teachers, we only wish we could express our sentiments more plainly, and do something to repay your help. All year three gracious students have typed the Ogden High school notes which appear in this paper. Hence, members of the Note Staff sincerely give their thanks to those girls, Dorothy Russell, Helen Wiese and Helen Richardson. The help which their efforts have rendered is tremendous; their assistance is assuredly appreciated for helping to produce the note column. In our hearts will be engraved the memory of these students. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1934. Youths Envy Elders' Hair Crop Ability Ogden High Lads Unable To Enter Face Foliage Movement OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOIES Mary Paquette—Editor Jack Bennett—Associate Editor During the hot, dry weather, most of us try to keep as cool as pos¬sible. Our men teachers slyly hang their coats in the corner and take up the lessons in short sleeves. The women cast off heavy dresses for lighter ones. The small boy goes to the barber with the com-mand, "whack it off plenty close!" In fact everyone is taking some measure to insure coolness. In the face of all this, a great many Ogden men are beginning to cover up their faces. Just walk down Washington avenue and you will soon see how. We are going back to the days of beards and side whiskers. And in the midst of this weather too! The men complain of the heat and then grow a mass of whiskers that smokes in the dry weather. There is one consolation, however, High school youths won't be able to copy the vogue! And are they plenty sore!—Blaine Larsen. RESULTS OF TESTS In Illinois university, a test was made of 100 students, 100 teachers and 100 ordinary citizens. The ob-ject of the exam was to discover what things in the paper the peo¬ple liked best. Answers revealed the majority turned first to the headlines and the front page articles; then the students and professors to the sports and the townspeople to the comics; finally, the professors turned to the editorials, the students to the com¬ics, and the townspeople to sports. How nearly do you readers meas¬ure to these standards? Test your¬self for awhile. Out of every thousand students who begin the fifth grade only two hundred and sixty graduate from high school. Seniors, you are one of four who started the fifth grade and fife deserve to be congratulated; but to not stop here—remember that er if you cannot go to college that you can always have access to the library and its many volumes; tod education is not gained wholy [roa books but from experience and those who cannot go to school fit give time to study can learn moei from their experiences. Try to learn and try to gain roa your learning.—J.B. SYMPATHY Once again, within a very short space of time, the students and faculty of Ogden High school art called upon to offer their sympathy to one of the outstanding member of the faculty. The Almighty, for reasons know only to Himself, after taking injr Mr. Peterson's father, has now takea his mother to join her husband In the hereafter. Although this is but a poor expression of our sympathy, It com from our very hearts, and we Join with Mr. Peterson in his hour cf sorrow. "YES" According to a recent survey mad by the Pathfinder magazine, that good old word "yes" has dropped almost entirely from our vocabulary, "Yep," "ya "uh-huh," and "yup" are some of the most common expressions used to express our mean-ing when we wish to answer a question affirmatively. "You said it," "you're telling me," and "alnt it the truth" are other expression! following closely upon the heel! of the first expressions. Boy, oh boy is our language, the good old King's English, becoming run over? "You said it!"—MP. LETTER COMES Parley D. Parkinson, major, Infantry, adjustant general, has written to the principal of the Ogden High school, saying: "There has been received In this office a copy of general orders No. 16, headquarters Ninth corps area, announcing the designation of the Ogden High school as an honor high school. "The chief of staff, Third reserve area, Colonel A. J. Dougherty, desires that I extend to you and your faculty his congratulations and than of his staff on the occasion of tin honor high school desigtHor "Without question the habit of team work, obedience to authority, promptness and accuracy inculcated by the R.O.T.C. routine will be of incalculable value to the cadets throughout life."
