SENIOR HONORS Pope has said: “Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.” No other class in Weber College can claim better than the Senior Class, that they have not only the charms of the school but also the merit. The class of 1917 has not lived in vain. It has won honors envied by the other classes. From the beginning of this school year the class has never failed to furnish the student body many live wires, not to mention th winning of many contests, which deserves mentioning. The class won in the interclass basketball series. Also, three members of the class, Joseph Smith, David Peterson, and Bill Roberts, were star players on the school team. But not only did we win, in physical contests, the Seniors also have the brains. The Seniors’ debating team won the interclass debating series and once again placed the “17” on the cup. Mr. Ernest L. Wilkinson and Miss Mattie Stone arc members of the school debating team, to whom the class shall ever give honor. But not only in debating have members of the senior class shown their ability to work. During the extemporaneous try- outs the Seniors unmercifully cornered the choicest places in the list. Still another time the class reminded the student body that it was up and going when its worthy representative, Ernest L. Wilkinson, won second place in the Rich Oratorical Contest. Now departing we leave our footprints on the sands of time with the fond hope that some one has been inspired to a higher standard of efficiency by the presence of the Senior Class. hen life’s cares are thrust upon us, and our classmates are i rom us, then fondly will our memory turn to the happy days ol school. Now, the moments pass in pleasure, each one brings us some rich treasure! Oh, their value we can’t measure! hese happy golden moments of our school days.

JUNIOR NOTES We luive now completed our third successful year at dear old Weber and so pleasant has our work and association been that it is indeed hard to realize that when school again opens we will be Seniors. How strange it will be to walk thru the halls unmo- lested and idealized by all under-class men. Rut then away fond dreams, let us live today. Next year our old rivals, the class '17, will no longer be in our midst and it is with keen pleasure and satisfaction that we look back at our relations with them and we shall miss them a great deal next year. But we have come to one of the crossings in life’s great highway and so in parting we wish you good luck and God speed and we hope that success shall crown your efforts. We wish also to acknowledge the ability of the Sophomores and Freshmen; we have always found you keen competitors. t this opportunity we wish to thank the faculty for their kind assistance in making our class a success and especially do we appreciate the efforts of Prof. Savage and Principal Barker.
