The College Year Student body officers elected for the year 1924-25 were pledged to carry out an exten- sive advertising campaign to insure a large en- rollment when school opened for the fall quarter. During the summer months every opportunity to speak a word for Weber was eagerly seized. Two weeks before school began, students were busy preparing a pre-season edition of the Weber Herald. Committees of students and faculty members were already arranging the details of the President’s Reception, the opening social event of the year. Only such unselfish loyalty to Weber’s cause, continued through the year, has made possible the many noteworthy accomplishments that have been achieved. The Mt. Ogden Hike The first event of real importance directed by the student body was the annual Mr. Og- den Hike. It was a glorious day in Weber history in spite of the fact that a chill wind, that increased in velocity with every upward step, was whipping the cold gray clouds around the peaks. The occasional moments of sunshine and the protection of sheltering clifi's afforded opportunity for the hikers to engage in periods of fun.

Weber had again gained rhe top in the face of formidable obstacles. Tkt Peak The Ricks-Weber Football Rally What a thrill to see our own Purple and White flapping lazily, gracefully in the gentle fall breeze over the city hall. We who proudly passed along the streets that day knew that Weber had at last won a place in the esteem of Ogden. With a victory over Intermountain Union, a four year college, we were already making plans for a game with Phoenix, Arizona, for the National Junior College Championship. Ricks was challenging our right to the honor. The rumor had come that the northern school had a fast aggregation and were fully intend- ing to stop our rush for the flag. Only en- ,h u'wsostr 0%tUn thusiasm and support could win us a victory. Onl a good crowd at the game would insure the financial returns needed to put over rhe year’s athletic program. n enthusiastic student body, almost to a man, rallied to rhe cause to put over the first big advertising feature of rhe season, d ogged with home- made “Weber vs. Ricks” posters, and led by the band, the cheering half- organized mob marched through the streets.
