Within her sanctuaries of idealism, before her altar-fires to Beauty, we are weaving on the fabric of her founding, patterns of life —Weber patterns. c 4nd in the labyrinth of those patterns, in their intricate meshes of reality, we are finding joy in fashioning to- ward Beauty, knowing, “Beauty is truth; truth, beauty, and “A thin£ of beauty is a joy forever. Over never-ending trails in quest of Beauty, to the revealing avenues and corridors of Weber’s PATTERN SHOP, we came, DESIGNERS, to seek expression, PATTERNS, for our lives endowed with hope.

Your man of the Consecrated Life may mix with the world, and do the world's business, but for him it is not the true world, for hidden away in his heart he keeps burning a lamp before a shrine dedicated to Love and Beauty . .. The first emo- tion on coming into the Brother- hood is one of loneliness and isola- tion. You pray for comradeship, and empty arms reach out into the darkness. But gradually you awak- en to the thought that you are one of many who hope and pray alike; and that slowly this oneness of thought and feeling is making its impress felt . . . Consecrated laves!

They will like always to retain his inspiration, his spirit of youth; they will like to catch that infectious enthusiasm of his. to respond to his wit and sparkle and laughter; they will like to be stimulated by that keen challenge of mind, that impulsiveness of heart, that strength and wholesomeness which reflect his clean living; they will like to remember that charming sweetness of manner with which he extends to them always tender, comforting courtesies. Sensitive to fineness, to virtues in big men, to the real essence of their contribution to society; spontaneous in ex- pressed recognition of the little and the big things; in the heart of Weber he is that scholar and that gentleman who is the embodiment of youth’s ideal in Weber’s consciousness. Superintendent Joseph •'. Merrill has endeared himself to Weber for qualities, common to big men. reflected in a year of difficult transition, when he came to her first heading a visiting committee from the Uni- versity of Utah vehere he served as Director of the School of Mines and Engineering. He was honest-minded, direct, encouraging, constructive: a man with a sincere desire to be fair in his judgment, a man who wanted first to know the truth and then to have conditions right; a man who respected the desire of those influenced by his decisions; a man of tender feeling, of sensitive regard for the will of those whose lives be touched. Weber loved him then for his breadth of vision, the quiet consistent confi- dence that has been maintained in department relationship where he has suggested means for accomplishment of objective and acknowledged credit when due. In administrative relationship now. Weber welcomes him to counsel her youthful spirit. Thomas McKay, fourteen years member, five years President of Weber's Hoard of Trustees; John V. Blutb, George :. Browning. Robert I. Burton, Henry II. Blood, William (). Stevens, and Howard Randall, promi- nent busy men of affairs, serve Weber’s larger community as an advisory body to Weber’s President. They are men who. having gone over most of the road themselves, keep alive the idea that life is good, that there is in it an inexhaustible fountain of joy provided young people equip themselves properly. It is with concern for that equipment that they counsel the way. displaying confidence always in youths’ ability to solve its own problems in a complex age. They are great-souled men, generous, with a distinct sense of the loyalty of individual responsibility to college affairs, in administration and activity; they are men with the echo of Weber’s yester- day in their hearts who serve the Weber of today with thought of the Weber of tomorrow. President Aaron W. Tracy is dynamically identified with a cause, a Weber College for Ogden, to sense and to serve her community's in- dividualism. a college built reverently secure upon the ideals of Weber’s founders. He works concretely in a larger faith for the accomplishment of his educational vision by administering a program for campus at the door of Ogden community’s heart; so that her people of youth and maturity may open the door” night or day to enjoy opportunities which permit education of feeling and intellect, which permit a larger develop- ment of the aesthetic life wherein intellect may be born out of the soil of emotion. With a fine sense of Weber’s traditions conceived out of the mind and heart of her own people, he weaves into the warp and weft of her structure ideals out of many institutions which contribute to her individuality, feeling that Weber is the designer of her own pattern which he. in the ideal of perfection, finds the real joy in perfecting. AARON W. IRACY BERTHA KCCLES WRIGHT I.ESTER HINCHCI.IEE BIBLI: LITERATURE—“No man is completely educated ' President Tracy has said, unless he possesses a knowledge of the precepts of those books on which the outstanding religions of the world are based; unless lie has learned to appreciate the attitude of those men and women who have dedicated their lives to the service of their religion.” Recognizing man's spiritual capacity as an educational factor. Weber College provides opportunity for spiritual development through the medium of sacred literature. DRAMA—Lemuel B. Josephs taught: Be yourself, do not act; recognize the author’s thought; be the character that you are already, potentially. And so he made Weber know that in the drama. Beauty is truth; truth beauty.” In 1923 Bertha Eccles Wright, a devotee of his art. introduced him to Weber, where during one quarter of each succeeding year, except this one. he has been instructor of the drama. This year Mrs. Wright has conducted Weber's class in play production, formerly under the direction of Mr. Harvey L. Taylor. MUSIC—in her love for music, in her desire to extend its beauty and its refining influence, Weber has set an ideal that Ogden shall become a musically appreciative community center, that the best of music art among her own people shall find its full expression. Toward the accomplishment of this ideal. Mr. Hinchcliff. in addition to instructing classes in theory and technique at Weber College, is actively engaged in promoting musical projects of the community. 4� JOSEPH JARVIS MARIAN I READ I El AND II M0NS0N ENGLISH, LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE—In no field of creative work is ii more demonstrable than in English Language and Literature that craftman- ship is the road to art. The student learns that the composition is a verbal struc- ture built upon a definite pattern or plan, created to produce singleness of effect; he learns that it is composed of units contributing to the totality of idea; he learns that singleness of impression is achieved only through adherence to basic working principles, the “C. U. E.” of all good writing. He learns that art results from the association of substance and form. He learns the source of fact, feeling, and idea; how to gather and retain subject matter, how to organize anti develop it to serve his objective. Step by step he learns his craft. Knowing the creative factors he can interpret appreciatively the product of a creative mind: in aesthetic response to the message of a masterpiece he can say, How beautiful! —sensing behind the creation the mind that designed and man- ipulated materials toward its accomplishment. Response to literature in Weber College is made possible through basic courses in the English and in the American fields; opportunity for expression of idea is made possible through basic courses in the four forms of composition and one additional class project in argumentation. In association. Miss Marian T. Read, head of the department. Mr. Joseph Jarvis, and Mr. Leland II. Monson are building upon the tradition of past years a high standard of class administration. V y.mi + y. x rr.: T + � mm mw ■i 7 — m am JOSEPH 1). THOMAS EVA BROWNING JOHN Q. BLAYLOCK FOREIGN LANG I AGE—Language is that medium of words by which thought is transmitted from one individual to another, the word being but a symbol which affords color and design. Weber's department of Language has, as an aim. the interpretation of the hidden beauty in the word-symbolism of French and German vernacular. Experience in Europe last Spring and Summer has enabled Mr. Joseph I). Thomas to offer his students an additionally correct inter- pretation of foreign languages and customs. THE LIBRARY—That Weber realizes the importance of making the environ- ment of the student attractive is demonstrated in the Weber Library. Warm, neutral tones are enlivened by color in growing plants, in choice selections from Utah art. and in the volumes of reds, greens, browns, and blues, which promise the student reader vicarious association with great men. There scholars enjoy the classics of literature; there Miss Eva Browning works for the best educational interests of Weber men and women. SOCIOLOGY AND HISTORY—It was Professor Cheney, eminent American historian, who asked. “In our present imperfect state of historical knowledge do certain tendencies in man's nature emerge which may enable him to understand his habits better and to attain to a more intelligent method of improving his ideas and practices? In loyalty to Weber’s own ideal, in harmony with the thought of the best historians. Professor John Q. Blaylock has taught history and sociology to his students in a way that has inspired progressive response. I —_____— ii0� � eVta� . — ss — BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS—An understanding of the sciences of Busi- ness and Economics becomes more necessary with the increasing complexity of an industrial age. the activities of which, though they belong to the arts of Un- necessary. are really the foundation of the arts of the beautiful. I)r. Dilworth Walker in his quiet, sincere desire to enhance the quality of business leadership in Ogden's community has ably conveyed the spirit as well as the form of the Science which he teaches. TYPEWRITING AND SHORTHAND—A knowledge of typewriting and shorthand is becoming so important in almost every phase of activity that this division of college business administration has increasingly demanded efficient and practical instruction. In Weber College. Miss Lucy Denning has built a strength m her department that has resulted in exceptional proficiency among her students, who are thus equipped to meet the demands of a growing commercial community for capable men and women trained in this field. ACCOUNTING AND BOOKKEEPING—Training in accounting and book- keeping renders practical value to the student by enabling him to understand one of the very technical and indispensable elements of business operation. The ac- quisition of accurate knowledge in this field is made possible at Weber through the teaching of Mr. Wayne Mayhew. who. besides being an instructor at the college, :s a practising certified public accountant, who can provide his students with cor- respondingly valuable facts. . i. r .. ’.««(tv� � '•«ior� ! Va ......................•� .•� r a, jm tr.:r,-� - aa � . ■ ! — 29 — ■I ■■ I YDIA II. TANNER ANNA STARK A. LEON WINSOR EDUCATION AM) PSYCHOLOGY—The Department of Education and Psychology. stressing character and ideals in addition to methods and problems of teaching, supplies the prospective teacher with tools that equip him for classroom leadership. Besides instruction in child psychology, principles of education, hy- giene. educational organization and administration, the candidate receives teaching experience. Mr. A. Leon Winsor. head of this department, is on leave of absence at Cornell University, where this year he will receive his Ph. D. Miss Anna Stark, who has direct supervision over sixty-four teaching cadets trained in her department, impresses them with the fact that school teaching is becoming more scientific every year. Through educational subjects, students become acquainted with principles of learning and teaching: through training, cadets acquire “practical control of the principles by using them. Her work demonstrates that teaching is an art acquired: her cadets sense their responsibility in preparation for the guidance of future citizens. HOME ECONOMICS—'That the Weber woman may scientifically prepare herself for domestic life, that she may also receive training for a possible profes- sional career, the Home Economics department provides balanced courses in Home Nursing, Dietetics. Foods, and Household Management. But more permanent, perhaps, than this practical experience acquired in laboratory and class room, is the influence of Mrs. Lydia 11. Tanner who. in her true conception of life and ser- vice. has taught that the joy of the homemaker is the most real and profound. 30 I BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE—Biology is the science of life. It is the one study vital to a complete understanding of the beauty and divinity revealed in life pro- cesses. It is a subject to which the nature lover can always respond, in which any student who desires to know truth can find the answer to his many questions con- cerning natural processes. Mr. A. Russell Croft, guiding his students to intelligent observation, influences them to the development not only of a scientific attitude, but also of a reverent one. PHYSICAL EDUCATION—In Dr. Frederick C Van Buren. director of the Weber Gymnasium, is found devotion to the development of community recreative activities in an age when three attributes are co-ordinately emphasized: “A clear mind, a strong arm. and a brave heart.” Conducting the men's gymnasium and swimming classes and also supervising special educational features, he is interest- ing the students of Weber and the people of Ogden in physical welfare, inspiring their interest in its practical and in its artistic expression. In charge of the women’s department of physical education of Weber College, Yirs. Lucille (). Clark, has. through a year of intensive instruction in swimming, gymnastics, and personal health, provided opportunity for development, physically, that will serve as a basis for greater mental efficiency and spiritual balance, and that will constitute a preliminary preparation for leadership in a field wide open to those capable of maintaining its standards, who have community welfare at heart. 31 — MERI ON I . STEVENSON WAYS'I: B. HALES JOHN C. LIND MATHEMATICS AND ENGINEERING—That Weber men and women may possess the key to scientific phenomena, that they may gain knowledge funda- mental to an understanding of modern mechanics: electric appliances and industrial machinery. Merlon L. Stevenson lays a foundation in the study of mathematics anil engineering. That Weber men may prepare for this field he aims to give in- formation for practical application in engineering and to give preliminary knowl- edge that will lead to research work in advanced courses. PHYSICS—Physical phenomena never take place without causes, and these causes move and function according to law. Interpreting and explaining this law, the Physics department of Weber is molding a scientific attitude of mind, is devel- oping a laboratory technique, and is enhancing an appreciation and understand- ing of life. Dr. Wayne B. Hales, whose own wide experience in research work has given him increased regard for the scientific mind, inspires his students toward accurate conception of universal truths. GEOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY—“The man with the fact is like the guide you hire to lead you up a mountain.” Dr. Lind is more than the guide with the fact: he is equipped with unusual experience and interpretive power. Lor thirty years his record of service in Weber College, where he has pioneered the exact science field, has complemented his record of scholarship in the United States and Mexico: in Heidelberg and Jena, Germany; in attendance at the International Geological Congress, Spain; and in fellowship as a member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. I UC.U.E PARKY ELIZABETH SHAW CLARISSE II. HALL THE SECRETARY-TREASl'RER—With characteristic visualizing of her work as it is related to the entire system. Miss Lucile Parry quietly and thoroughly maintains the responsibility of the secretarial and financial organization of Weber. In addition to being purchasing agent for the college she acts as Secretary to the President, Treasurer of the Associated Students and of the Alumni Association, and Secretary and Treasurer of the Weber College Board of Trustees. Till: RECORDER—Despite the apparently soulless documents entrusted to official care, the college recorder can feel the human impulses that surge through the halls and permeate the data she so painstakingly files away, sensing behind facts and statistics the reaching out of life for truth. Miss Elizabeth Dee Shaw, who assumed the technical duties of recorder in September of this year, has con- tinued the work of her predecessor in a manner complimentary to executive judgment. THE REGISTRAR—The system of registration, which Weber adopted in 1927 after a careful and intensive study of systems employed in educational insti- tutions of outstanding record, has affectively demonstrated its practicability. That it is proving its worth for Weber's needs is due in large part to the efficient super- vision of Mrs. Clarisse II. Hall, who, for two years, has served as Registrar. Four hundred college students have submitted their records to her care this year.

This organization directs the activities of the Student Association: therefore, its duties arc many: its responsibilities great. It has power over the judicial, executive, and administra- tive interests of the Association. BETH WINKLER GEORGE R' ANCHE Vitf-Ptttidtnl • Sttuljry I if' ■3 ■ Jfjrt I IE 1-ACT that Weber College has had this year one of the strongest student organizations in its history is a tribute to Mr. Wallace Jones, President ol the Student Association, and to the cooperating with him: Beth Winkler. Vice- President. and George Blanche. Secretary. Proceeding in an intelligent, diplomatic manner to fulfill their duties, they have displayed unusual ability as an executive body. They have maintained friendship and harmony in a successful, democratic administration. Working unceasingly to put into effect the constitution passed at the close of last school year, they have overcome the depression of trivial diffi- culties. and have capably solved the bigger tasks. Admirably representing those who selected them and fulfilling the trust placed in them, they have made the college feel the constructive influence of their ability to create a spirit of cooperation. «seal 37 — THE SOPHOMORE CLASS JTV PERSONALITY is the sum total of what you do,” the Sophomore class have personality. They have already caught the spirit of the Alumni into whose ranks they will enter in June; they are the first Sophomore class in Weber’s history to contribute to the college campus fund by choosing a cast from their own members, directing a drama, and presenting their play. They have concentrated upon a few projects with this thought, each time. This one thing I do well,” and then, with this positive angle of vision toward their goal, they have consistently worked forward its accomplishment. The largest graduating class of Weber-—one hundred members, the largest number to remain through two years, they have revealed a solidity of purpose in staying with the first objective, scholarship. They have been leaders in Weber, setting standards for all purposeful activity, maintaining an unique note of consistency indicative of that tone, that idealism, which future classes will emulate. With the resignation of President Budge at the end of the Winter Quarter, a spring election was held resulting in Carma Francis being chosen president. Edward Ward, vice-president, with Roland Manning continuing in the office of secretary. MF.RI ON !.. STEVENSON JOHN Q.

LIND Advisor MARIAN T. READ Advisor THE FRESHMAN CLASS O THOSE men and women entering Weber for the first time has been JL given the heritage of Weber's past, a heritage which is reflected in group expression by upholding, as a class, the idealism symbolized in the purple and white, whether in relation to scholarship, college activities, of larger activities of the community, where, as a leader, a representative Weber student is known as a “‘scholar and a gentleman.” The heritage involves acquaintance with and interpretation of Weber traditions of the past, while building her traditions of the future. Scholarship, service, the loyalty of in- dividual responsibility toward a co-operative undertaking—these are the ideals of tradition. The Freshman class have sensed the co-operative responsibility that is to be theirs for the coming year; a spirit, individually felt, which is to be transmitted for the inspiration of Freshmen novitiates of next year. But more, these Weber Freshmen have contributed to Weber their in- dividuality and that of the several institutions and communities from which they have come. They have come in the strength of their own traditions, strong men and women with alert minds and senses, who, as a group, have maintained the highest Freshmen record of scholarship in Weber College history.

By winning the Intermountain Junior College cham- pionship in debating, she has commanded the attention not only of junior but also of senior colleges and universities. In 1927-28 Weber successfully launched two new programs, the first being the addition to the curriculum of a course in argumentation under Professor Monson; and the second, the sending of two debaters on a tour of the Northwest. The class in argumentation met twice a week: once for instruction in theory and technique! and once for practice debating. Professors Blaylock. Monson. Hales. Walker, an. Croft, of the faculty, met with the class dur- ing the practice periods to offer constructive criticism. Prom the members of the student group the school teams were chosen. In this way the selection did not depend upon tryouts but upon the ability of the students as dis- played in the regular meetings. Eight members were given the opportunity to debate with other schools. 'I lie four chosen to represent the college in the league were Frank Robinson. Winifred McConnell. Frank Rose, and George Williams.

J0SEP1 IS caine to Ogden when the idea of a Weber College was just formulating, having been invited by Mrs. Bertha Eccles Wright in the interest of the annual alumni drama in which he not onl interpreted the lead but also directed the cast, rendering his services as a con- tribution to the campus fund. Harvey L Taylor was a member of this cast. Inspired by Mr. Josephs, Mr. Taylor continued study of the drama with him in New York City, after which he served for two years as depart- ment head, interpreting the Josephs art. This year Mr. Taylor was made president of Gila College. Arizona, and Mrs. Wright continued the tradition, the message of which Mr. Josephs, himself, has perpetuated by instructing in Weber for a part of five consecutive years. Aside from the service of Mr. Josephs in the field of his particular interest, his larger philosophy has been a strength to Weber in a difficult period of transition, lie came recognizing a native dramatic tradition, inter- preting the soul of that tradition, and projecting its interests, lie early vin- dicated the faith of Weber in that which she desired to do in dramatic art particularly: his wholesome confidence inspired a program which has forecast the Weber Little Theatre; I le vindicated her educational philosophy that there is no growth without expression, but he made her realize that the greatest growth is toward those things hovering just above the heads of the people keeping them always looking up for a fuller enjoyment of life. He early recognized the individuality of Weber and has. in refined graceful service, set a standard for that individuality in her drama. ■:LOOKING FOR MARY JANE Roland Manning Reede Ames li usiness Managers Carma Francis Rulon Budge Directors PLAYERS John Merrifield .

Blaylock of the lives and accomplishments of the eight men who began those Weber patterns that the present de- signers are attempting to perfect. These men, Louis Warren ShurtlifT, Charles P. Middleton, Nils Christian Flygare, David McKay. Robert McQuarrie. Joseph Stanford, Louis Frederick Moench and Thomas Jordan Stevens, cannot be forgotten for their work and sacrifice in establishing and guiding the institu- tion when success was largely overshadowed by lack of finance.

There are individual chapters in the Weber College, the I . of I ., and the I . A. C. The general executive offi- cers include a president arid a representative of each of the chapters. Llew- elyn C. McKay of the U. of U. served as president of the interscholastic organization for the year 1927-28. The Friar News,” published periodically, is the official organ of the Club. As this publication records the activities of the various organiza- tions. it is very cosmopolitan in spirit. The Weber College Chapter of the Friar's (dub represents a group of college men who take a prominent part in school activities. Their work in an active field of service has enabled them to enter college well equipped for leadership. Theodore KILTS Donitb Midion GEORGE Bl WCIII.

The opening league game with Westminster College showed that Weber would again be a series contender for championship honors. The score was Westminster 0, Weber 45. The first game of a series of three engagements in Montana and Idaho was with the Montana Normal at Dillon. Weber won by a safe margin of 19-6. At Rexburg, Idaho, the team defeated Ricks College 55-0.

The upset aroused exceptional interest in the following contests. In the second engagement, Kicks forced the Branch Aggies to the limit for three periods. The Aggies, however, opened a passing attack in the closing quarter and took this game, 40-24. It was a well prepared Weber team that greeted the strong Snow quint in the third game; a satisfied one. too, when it emerged with a 48-25 victory. Making a colorful attack, the Wildcats got a sensational start and worked in splendid unison. The Weber team was forced to relinquish its tradition, however, when the powerful Branch Aggies scored a 24-17 victory the second night. The Aggies trailed the Weberites 6-4 at the end of the first period, 10-8 at the half, and dead- locked them at 14 in the third quarter.

The cement sides are so banked that in winter the site may be flooded for skating. After a period of five years the tennis courts are to become the property of the Alumni Association. Over thirteen hundred persons are included in the winter membership of the gymnasium. Three hours daily are devoted to the physical education of Weber College students. GYMNASII M I.OBBY 1 .a 3he Weber Gymnasium Circus irJpt HE WEBER Gymnasium Circus, an annual recreative activity held early in May of each year, is a cooperative event between the Gymnasium and the College that motivates the physical talent of both institutions and gives a type of entertainment that is artistic and instructive. Its appearance this year heralded the suggestion that it shall become, in time, one of the most outstanding exhibitions of its type in the intermountain country. Dr. Frederick C. Van Buren with his efficient staff of co-workers has planned and conducted the entire affair through three years. The program this year included pyramid building which was made a 1928 feature, the circus parade, special animal acts, electrically lighted Indian club drill, tumbling and apparatus stunts, plastique exhibitions, and ballet and folk dancing which terminated in the May-pole dance. NUMBER of college men and women have been successful in passing the u-X senior Life-Saving lest as outlined by the American Red Cross. Winning the membership card and the emblem denotes the attainment of considerable ability ip swimming, for there are nineteen separate requirements that must be satisfac- torily completed. The winner of the award must demonstrate his knowledge and proficiency in the various methods of rescue and resuscitation. Among other things he must dis- robe in deep water and swim one hundred yards; be able to break the death grip and the strangle hold, and recover heavy weights in six to ten feet of water. The fust student of Weber to win the award was Miss Ariel Frederick. Since then eleven women and three men have fulfilled the requirements. t.HORA PETERS BERNICE LITTLEFIELD CARMYN CRITCHLOW ZEI.DA SKINNER RHEA TAYLOR ARIEL FREDERICK ERMA RICH KATHLEEN O'CONNOR exercise; (2) a practical accomplishment; (3) a fascinating recreation. Aquatic activities are of such a nature that most of the muscles of the body are brought into play. Diving develops not only coordination and balance, bur also physical determination and courage. Considering the fact that three-fourths of the surface of the earth is covered with water, there are few people of wide activities who do not. at some time, find themselves “in the deep. When such a situation presents itself there are two alternatives: to sink or to swim, and the individual unafraid of the water can usually take care of himself. In addition to being an excellent exercise and a practical accomplishment, swimming is one of the most interesting of all sports.
