College Report The year 1920-21 has seen the growth and development of a bigger Weber College, and although the members have been few, favorable results have rewarded earnest efforts. As a class we do not intend to boast of our several achievements. However, we have helped to build up the foundation of Ogden’s College, which is the luture of our present school. We have striven to uphold the old standards and have worked for improvement in all ways. But, having nothing but high school atmosphere to breathe, the College has not found real spirit; it cannot find real spirit until “Col- lege” is written in the heart of each student. Of course, there has been the high school rivalry and contests, but as a community, Ogden needs a good college; a home college, a product of the labors of Utah people. And, in making Weber a college, we make Ogden a better town and Utah a better State, and after all, it is the Nation that counts. If there were a college in Ogden more people would be afforded the opportunity of higher education; they would become better citizens and larger individuals. Thus, with an open field on which to work, Weber should become a real college. The one way a college finds growth is in the hearty support of faculty and students, they alone are able to work up enthusiasm and respect. The thing to do is “boost,” everywhere, at all times and keep the college spirit high, for out of college spirit comes more college spirit. Weber has prospered as a high school, indeed, it has succeeded, but a more brilliant future awaits at the end of the road. Therefore, not only the class of this year must help, but all the classes of years to come. We extend to them our heartiest wishes for the development of Weber College and urge them to take up col- lege work at Weber. “It is for us, the living to be dedicated . . .” Let us. then, dedicate ourselves to a successful Weber Normal College!

Without wasting time casting longing eyes on upper classmen and their success, we plunged right into the activi ies. Not one year have we failed to carry off the class basketball honors and w2 have been represented on the school team from our Freshmen yiar to this, our Senior year. We are truly proud of Claude Lindsay, who has been a working member of the team since he entered as a Freshman. In intellectual activities we have also made a name for ourselves winning the class debates in our Sophomore and Senior years and the Barker contelst in our Junior and Senior years. In our School contests in debating and oratory, we have been well represented. For the School play many stars, as well as some minor characters, have been furnished by Class ’21. We, as a class, have been a definite social unit and have had several enjoyable parties, as well as en- ttertaining the rest of the student body royally, at other times. And now, a we part from thee, dear old Weber, we wish to thank the other classes for the help they have given us,.and the faculty for the earnest efforts they have made to lift us from the common plains of life, up to the heights of Progress. If we ever reach a vantage point in our dumb toward success, we will truly say, ‘To you, to you, all praise is due, Weber, our Alma Mater.” EIGHTEEN
