ALUMNI OFFICERS John O. Hi.avi.ock Irma Gai.braith Harvey L. Tayi.or President Secretary I'ice-President The zAlumni Association DURING the past few years, the Alumni Association has made re- markable advancement toward the realization of its dream; a dream of perpetuating Weber’s ideals, and of helping Weber materially to become one of the leading educational institutions of the West. Through this association our Alma Mater has retained the old Weber spirit and has instilled, into the heart of every Weber student, the in- spiring aim of growth and progress. Each year a fraternal banquet is fostered by their organization, unique in that it brings “home annually, increasing numbers of alumni. Last June, from jive to eight hundred members participated in the first gathering at the Weber Gymnasium. This structure had been transformed from a dream into a reality largely through their efforts. Lor five years the association has presented to large and ap- preciative audiences, Shakesperian and modern drama of high merit, and has used the proceeds to enlarge Weber’s present campus. The acquisition of the Rich property has been the achievement of the pres- ent year. With such a progressive body steadfastly preserving the vision and working to make the dream come true, Weber will soon stand forth more prominently as the intellectual and cultural center of the community. ♦I 22 ]

'Board of Trustees ! IE members of the Board of Trustees, an advisory body of Weber College, act as trail breakers for the school; upon them rests the necessity of resting and sounding the paths Weber must pursue. Unknown by most of the college stu- dents, these energetic, inspired men, acting as trustees for the present and guarantors of the future, guard and cherish the ideals and traditions of an adopted school. Theirs is the lot to interpret the visions of Weber’s leaders in such a manner as to foster growth; theirs, also, the right to create new possibilities for this school. Tor the faith of the Board, that Weber in the spring of her development will come forth renewed from her recent period of transition, the college men and women are grateful 21
