Utah A ® §® Jk® ®SF sa® svsas®® PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF WEBER COLLEGE 1929 Joseph Smith THE GREAT FOUNDER FOREWORD AND DEDICATION III: purpose of The Acorn is two-fold: first, to make a record of the activities of Weber College as an institution, and second, to present that material which will aid each individual associated with the college to construct a personal record for himself. There are. then, two requisites for type of content and method of presenta- tion. In the first place, the dominant theme of the whole year should be interpreted, and second, as much material of interest as possible should be incorporated in the plan. Since the publication of the 1928 Acorn, we have passed through a year of extensive activities into newer and wider fields than ever before, a year full of variety. Probably more predominantly during the year than expansion, the foreshadowing of a change in the control of the coh'ege has been the center of our interest. The recent announc.ment that the Church intends to withdraw from the field of secular education after June 10, 1910. has aroused apprehension as to the future of the college, not only among those close!v associated with the institution, but also in Ogden’s com m unity genera 11 y. It is probably but little realized by most ol us the part that has been played by the Church in bringing education in Utah to its present stag.- of development. Ideals of education adopted from New England, and incorporated in the charter for the City of Nauvoo were carried by the pioneers to Utah. Consequently, when these pioneers came west, one of their primary interests was the immediate establishment of schools to provide the necessary educational facilities, re- ligious and secular. Thus, we have education sponsored from the beginning, and where necessary, directly controlled by the Church until the State and municipal governments should be able to continue the work. Now comes, it appears, th • end of this pioneering, and the last step ap- proaches when the Church schools are to be placed in other control. And with this closing, we more fully realize the part that the Church has played in promoting education in this State. It is appropriate then that this book should be dedicated to the growth of education in Utah through Church control. Not only have we felt a coming change in administration this year but also an expansion and growth unexcelled in our activities. Never before has so much progress been made in both school activities and extension of departmental subjects into new fields. A year of fine social events, a continuation of football championships, a Honolulu trip, a place in the Basketball Tournament again sponsored by the college, and two men on the all-tournament team, oratorical contests of high standard, three debate tours covering more than half of the United States, an extensive program in the drama with two school plays presented and three Moroni Olsen plays brought here, in addition to our continued progress in all the other fields of activity represent the material that it has been necessary to treat in this book. A new angle has been outstanding in our activities; the community as well as the college has been represented through this expansion. The type of book that seemed best to suit these conditions appeared at once to be the scrap book, allowing an entirely different treatment of subject matter with signed articles from a large num- ber of contributors, informality of treatment being stressed throughout. The members of the Staff hope that in this book you may find a great deal of interest in recalling your connection with Weber College in 1928-1929. HISTORICAL EBER is a name that in- spires, a name that will live in the memory of thou- sands forever, representing a school whose influence is felt the world over. It was due to the leadership and ability of honest, coura- geous and persevering men that Weber Academy was established, an institution developed from the early Church sys- tem of education which was inaugurated in 1888. The following is an extract from a letter sent that year to the presi- dency of Weber Stake from the First Presidency of the Church: We feel that the time has arrived when proper education of our children should be taken in hand by us as a people. Religious training is practically excluded from district schools. The per- usal of books that we regard as divine is forbidden. Our children, if left to the training they receive in these schools, will grow entirely ignorant of those principles of salvation for which the Latter Day Saints have made many sacrifices. To permit this condition of affairs to exist among us would be crim- inal. The desire is universally expressed by all thinking people in the Church that we should have schools wherein the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and Book of Doctrine and Covenants can be used as text books, and where the prin- ciples of our religion may form a part of the teaching of the schools.” After receiving this letter with the authorization that accompanied it. Pres- ident Lewis W. Shurt I iff. President of the Weber Stake, met with other Stake officials to consider the matter. The bcxly decided to organize a Board of Education which would establish a Weber Stake Academy. The Board as then organized included Lewis W. Shurt- liff, iNils C. Flygare. Charles F. Middle- ton (Presidency of the Weber Stake); Joseph Stanford of the High Council; Robert McQuarrie, Bishop of the Sec- ond Ward; Thomas J. Stevens, Bishop of the Fifth Ward; David McKay, Bishop of Huntsville; and Professor Louis F. Moench. Stake Superintendent of Sunday Schools. The responsibility of establishing a school was rightly placed; for these men, tried in the early experiences and perse- cutions of the Church, had proved their ability. President Lewis W. Shurt I iff, born in Sullivan, Ohio. July 24. 1835, passed through the early trials that came to the Saints. At the age of sixteen he left Council BlufTs with his parents and crossed the plains to Utah, arriving in September. 1851. During the trouble with the Indians here in Weber County. Mr. Shurtliff became a lieutenant in the militia that was raised to defend the settlers. At the age of twenty-three he was called with other men on a coloniz- ing expedition to the Salmon River country in Eastern Oregon. In 1863, he was with Captain Thomas E. Ricks, helping a company of emigrants on their journey to Utah. While on his mission to Great Britain, he successfully pre- sided over the Nottingham and London HISTORICAL 7 conferences, and traveled extensively in England. Wales, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark. Germany. France, and Italy, doing faithful missionary- work as he went. After returning to Utah he served as Bishop of Plain City until 1883. as Weber County Commis- sioner for eight years, as a member of the territorial legislature, and as Pro- bate Judge of Weber County, lie was a delegate to the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, and to the Nat- ional Irrigation Congress. He was a member of the State Constitutional Convention, and after Utah became a State, he was elected to the Senate, where he served for two years. I Ie was also Postmaster of Ogden for four years. It was in 1883 that Mr. Shurtliff was called to be president of the Weber Stake, which position he held until his death. Charles F. Middleton, another of the founders, was born February 24. 1834. in Washington County. Illinois. I le helped with the building of Nauvoo. and shared the joys and sorrows that came to the Saints in their journey to Utah. After arriving in Ogden, he ac- companied President Shurtliff on the colonization mission to the Salmon River country, Oregon. After returning from that State, he served successful Iv- in a number of civil position in Ogden. Between August 7, 1871, and January 21. 1883, he labored as second counselor to David H. Peery in the Weber Stake, and on the latter date was chosen First Counselor to President Shurtliff. He filled a short mission to Illinois, Mis- souri. and Iowa; at all times he worked for the betterment of humanity. Nils Christian Flvgare was properly titled when the name Christian was given him. He was born in Sweden, February 3, 1841. While in his native country, he labored three years as a missionary, traveling extensively throughout Sweden. After being re- leased from his position as president of the Stockholm Conference, in 1864 he immigrated to the United States with a large company, and arrived in Sail Lake City in September of the same year. Shortly afterward he moved to Ogden, where he engaged in the work ot contracting and building. In 1874. President Brigham Young called him on a mission to Scandinavia where he again became president of the Stockholm Con- ference. serving for one year, then for two years as president of the. Scandin- avian Mission. On his return he ccmi- ducted a company of emigrants from Liverpool to Utah. Willing men are al- ways in demand: Elder Flvgare was called again to preside over the Scand- inavian Mission after one year of rest at home. During the two years he held this position, he assisted FMer A. W. Carlson in translating and publishing the Book of Mormon in the Swedish language. On returning, he again led a company of immigrants to ! tab. Six years later (1885), he was called a third time to preside over the Scandinavian Mission which mission resulted in the conversion of many people. Between 1877 and 1883, he was Bishop of the Fourth Ward; and from 1883 until the 8 HISTORICAL old Weber Stake was first divided, he served as second counselor to President Lewis W. Shurtliff. A Latter Day Saint of this character and ability is also a good citizen of his country, and Elder Flygare was no exception. He held many important positions in the Ogden city government and in various com- panies. He directed the construction of the Utah Agricultural College. His life should be an inspiration; it is one worthy of remembrance. David McKay, son of William Mc- Kay and Ellen Oman, was born in Thurso, Scotland. May 3, 1844. At the age of nineteen he came to Utah, and a few years later made his home in I lunts- ville. When twenty-three years of age. he married Jeanette Evans. I le held a number of positions in the Huntsville ward, all of which he filled successfully. In 1882. he was called on a two-year mission to Scotland; in 1891, he left for a second mission to his native country. After returning, he was chosen president of the Weber Stake High Priests quorum, and in 1884 became the first Bishop of the newly organized Eden Ward. In addition to the Church posi- tions he held, he was elected a repre- sentative and later a senator to the State legislature. The busy days spent in the service of others did not cause Elder McKay to neglect his home duties, for he reared a family, the members of which have become great leaders in our Church and State. Robert McQuarrie is another typi- cal example of a man who faithfully served his Church and nation. Like David McKay he was a “bonnie lad of Scotland, being born at North Knap- dale, August 17, 1832. I le came to Utah at the age of twenty-five, arriving in Salt Lake City, September 12, 1837. He filled a two-year mission to Great Brit- ain. was later Superintendent of the Second Ward Sunday Schools, Stake Tithing Clerk, and Bishop of the Sec- ond Ward from 1877 until shortly before his death. In civil offices, he served as County Treasurer for eight years, City Alderman for three years. City Council- man for six years. School Trustee for six years, Ogden City Treasurer for two years, and County Commissioner for three years. At the time of the founding of Weber Stake Academy, Joseph Stanford was a member of the I ligh Council. I le was born August 16, 1834. in Sussex County. England, where he later attended the National School, and at the age of fifteen was graduated as pupil-teacher. He had a desire to be graduated from Oxford, but when he was sixteen, he and his parents came to Utah, arriving in 1861. Their emigration was a result of their conversion to the Latter Day Saint faith. After settling here, he taught school and later engaged in the mercantile business. I le served in Ogden as City Councilman, Alderman. Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ogden City Schools. County Recorder for six years, and six years as County Commissioner. I le was a member of the territorial legislature for two terms. JOSEPH STANFORD ROBERT MCQUAJRJRJE CHARLES E MIDDLETON LEWIS WARREN SHURTLIFF NILS CHRISTIAN FLYGARE DAVID MCKAY 'bUNP£RS ox VEBER COLLEGE THOMAS JORDAN STEVENS LOUIS FREDERICK MOENCH 10 HISTORICAL Louis Frederick Moench. a man whose influence will live in the minds of many people for generations to come, was horn in Germany. July 29. 1846. I le received his primary and high school education in Germany; but before being graduated, he had to leave with his parents for America. T he family re- mained for some time in Chicago, where Mr. Moench. having a strong desire to become a great educator, went to night school, since he worked in the daytime. He took a course in Bryant and Strat- ton's College. At the age of twenty-two he started for California with the inten- tion of teaching school there, but stopped in Utah where he saw the truth of Mormonism. After becoming a mem- ber of the Church, he engaged as an instructor in the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah), taught in Brigham City for one year, then came to Ogden where for thirty years he held various executive positions in the teaching profession. I le was princi- pal of Ogden Schools (a position simi- lar to that of superintendent) for nine years, was principal of Ogden’s first high school (the Central School which was located at the present site of the Elk’s Club), was superintendent of Weber County Schools for ten years, principal of Weber Stake Academy, between 1889 and 1892, and again after returning from a mission to Germany, was principal from 1894 to 1902. Dur- ing his first term as principal of Weber, he drew the plans for the original part of the present Weber College building and directed its construction. Professor Moench also taught in Colorado. Ari- zona. and in Millard County, Utah, lie held important ward and stake positions in the Church. The effects of this great educator’s good will and intelligence are felt strongly today. Thomas J. Stevens is another of the founders whose great integrity and work did much to promote Church, commun- ity. and school, lie held high positions of trust in the Church as well as many important civil and social positions. I le was born in Bristol. England. January 24. 1848, and was baptized in 1856. Because of his noble character and fine works, he rose rapidly in the Church and was highly admired. The meeting conducted by President Shurtliff regarding the establishment of an Academy resulted in the organizing of the Weber Stake Academy Board of Education with Lewis W. Shurtliff. president; Joseph Stanford, secretary; Robert McQuarrie, treasurer; Louis F. Moench. principal : and Charles F. Mid- dleton. Nils C. Flygare. David McKay, and Thomas J. Stevens as members. This group of men stood firm in their efforts, and forged ahead with a plan they knew would result in a living, bene- ficial institution. It was January 9. 1889, that their hopes became realities, for on that day the Weber Stake Academy was formally opened with temporary headquarters in the Second Ward. Pro- fessor Louis F. Moench. principal, began with the assistance of Lorenzo Waldram, to teach the seventy students enrolled. The school included primary, intermediate, and academic work; in- 12 HISTORICAL terest increased, and the enrollment grew to one hundred seven, which condi- tion necessitated the securing of better accommodations; so in the autumn of 1889, the school was moved to the Ogden Tabernacle; in the early spring of 1890. to the Fifth Ward Institute; and two years later, to the present site on Jeffer- son Avenue. Plans had been made early for the erection of a permanent school building, but it was not finished until 1892. Although many activities and traditions were difficult to establish during these movements, the students who attended received religious as well as secular education under the tuition of competent educators. In the fall of 1892. the year the first building on the present site was com- pleted. Professor Emil B. Isgreen be- came principal, a position he held during that year. I)r. George Phillips served during the following year (1893-1894). Both men. being highly educated, left their impress on the students of the school. Dr. Isgreen is now a practicing physician in Salt Lake City. In 1894. Professor Louis F. Moench returned from a mission to his native land (Germany), and was reappointed to administer the affairs of the academy. I le stood for correct principles, was very devoted to his religion and to his labors in properly teaching those under his direction. The experiences and stories he related still live in the memory of his students. During the administration of Professor Moench, lawn and shrubs were planted on the school grounds. This beautifying program was carried on under the supervision of David O. McKay, at that time an instructor in the school. On the death of Thomas B. Stevens in the spring of 1900. Bishop John Wat- son was appointed as a member of the Board of Education, and in 1908, he suc- ceeded N. C. Flygare as treasurer. Principal Moench resigned his position in June. 1902. Courses offered by the Academy about that time were as follows; a one- year preparatory course, one-year mis- sionary course, a one-year Sunday School course, three-year commercial course, four-year scientific course, four- year classical course, and four-year normal course. David O. McKay succeeded Pro- fessor Moench as principal, a position he held until June. 1908, when he re- signed in order that he might devote sufficient time to his Church duties as a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles. During the principalship of Elder David O. McKay, it was found necessary to provide more room and equipment to carry on the activities of the school. Accordingly, plans were made, and by 1907 an addition was com- pleted on the west side of the original building. Principal McKay loved order, believed in the development of all, and stood for principles that would build real character. He fostered music, art. and all things beautiful; for in the truly beautiful, he believed, is found the good. All of his administration was marked with progress because he did hundreds of small deeds as well as large ones, and 14 HISTORICAL always worked in the interests of Weber. 1 le is today a most loyal supporter of his and our Alma Mater. In 1903. the Acorn Staff was organ- ized. and the Acorn Literary Journal was published monthly. Joseph II. Stimpson was the editor. A few years later The Acorn was published bi- monthly; this plan was continued until 1917. During Principal Me Kay’s adminis- tration. the school flag was chosen; the colors, purple and white, symbolic of royalty and purity of character. Wilford M. Me Kendrick headed the institution between 1908 and 1910. It was during the fall of 1908 that the name of the school was changed from the Weber Stake Academy to Weber Academy. This change was made after the Weber Stake was divided into three new' stakes. At the time the name was changed, the Board of Education was reorganized with David O. McKay as president; Lewis W. Shurtliff, vice- president; John Watson, treasurer; I Ieber Scowcorft. secretary; and Charles f;. Middleton. Thomas B. Evans, David Eccles. and James Wotherspoon, mem- bers. In 1910, William W. Henderson be- came principal. He was well loved by the students because of his pleasant personality, easy manner, and his diplo- matic way of doing things. Goodwill, democracy, and solid, steady progression marked his administration. I le is now a professor at the Utah Agricultural Col- lege; he is yet a great friend and loyal supporter of Weber. James L. Barker succeeded to the principalship in 1914. and held the posi- tion until 1917. During principal Bar- ker’s tenure of office, continued develop- ment was made in literary, forensic, anti public speaking activities. I le instituted the Barker Extemporaneous speaking contest which has been conducted regu- larly each year since then. In 1916-1917. the Weber Herald staff was organized, and a school paper, containing general and social news as well as literary ar- ticles. was published by the students periodically. Erom then on. The Acorn was published only as an annual and not as a literary journal. On account of the change in policy relative to school publications. The I Ierai.d has been dis- discontinued during the last two years as an extra-curricular activity. The General Church Board of Edu- cation in January. 1916, established a Normal School in conjunction with the high school, thereby offering two years of college work. The success of this plan was slow at first, but gradually made progress each year. The title of the Board of Education of Weber was changed to Board of Trustees. In 1917. Owen E. Beal became principal, and in 1918. the title of Prin- cipal’' was changed to President” to conform with the change in the educa- tional program. This, of course, made Mr. Beal the first president of Weber Normal College. The name of the school had already been changed from Weber Academy to Weber Normal College to express the new function of normal train- ing. The following is a tribute paid to 16 HISTORICAL President Beal by students who knew him: “A man of much reserve power who wisely does not carry his true values on his coat sleeves.” During the school year 1919-1920, Henry Aldous Dixon was president. I le was another leader who worked for the improvement of Weber. I le is re- membered for his close cooperation and intimate association with the students. During this year the college class was first organized with Floyd Stuart as president; Norma Hussey, vice-presi- dent; and Thelma Stephens, secretary- treasurer. This organization sponsored a number of very successful activities. Joel E. Ricks became president in 1920 and held the position for two years. The following tribute is given him in in The Acorn: Whatever he does, no matter how small, he does seriously, weighing all chances of success and failure.” In 1922, Aaron W. Tracy became president. In the fall of that year the school included high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors; also two college grades. At this time the name of the college was changed to Weber College. The scope of the college was enlarged, including Morgan, Summit, and North Davis Stakes as well as the four in Weber County. To conform with this condition, the Board of Trustees was reorganized to include the presi- dents of the seven stakes as members of the Board. Thomas F. McKay of the Ogden Stake was made chairman and John V. Bluth, George E. Browning. Robert I. Burton. Henry H. Blood, Howard Randall, and William O. Ste- vens were members. The Church Com- missioners of Education decided to confine the educational program at Weber to college work only; accord- ingly. the high school department was discontinued in May, 1923. In 1922. the erection of the gymna- sium was resumed after two years of difficulty following 1920. Early in the history of Weber Academy there had arisen a demand for a gymnasium suita- ble to needs of an energetic student body. It had been the desire of Princi- pal Moench to provide a place where students of the school, as well as others, might receive proper instruction and training in physical culture. Students at the time were forced to use the Lester Park Pavilion and later, some unheated buildings down town. A student asso- ciation attaining the success that had characterized Weber, yet working under such adverse conditions, demanded better equipment. The faculty and students, under the direction of Princi- pal McKay, began a drive to obtain sufficient funds for a building. Their efforts resulted in the completing of the additions to the original building in 1907. This new addition improved con- ditions materially, but after being used for a number of years, it was found unsatisfactory for many occasions. Again the demand for something better was made, and progress began. Every- one was enthusiastic; regular gossip was laid aside, and the subject of a gym- nasium was discussed far and near. Rallies were held, orations given, and HISTORICAL 17 committees elected to investigate. A canvassing program was begun, and some money was collected. Soon, how- ever. there came a change in school administration. Later the World War and other adverse conditions put a damper on the enthusiasm of the stu- dents. In 1920. some further progress was made, and in the summer of that year, the foundation of the building was completed. Depressing financial con- ditions during the latter part of 1920 and during 1921 caused another halt in the erection of the gymnasium; money could not be collected, and operations ceased. When President Tracy began his administration, construction was re- sumed, and through the earnest efforts of the school, the quorums and organi- zations of the four Weber County Stakes, as well as the business men of Ogden. SI 50.000 was raised. The Church had agreed with David O. McKay to pay fifty percent of the cost of the gym- nasium. Thus, this new edifice, prov id- ing adequate room and equipment for the use of many people, was completed at a total cost of .$300,000. It was form- ally opened January 9, 1925. The Inter- mountain Junior College basketball tournament has been held in the Gym each year since that date. Another step toward a better college was the organization and operation, dur- ing the year 1922-1923, of a distinct College Board of Control. J. Willard Marriott was president of the associated students of Weber College,' Francis Cragun. vice-president; and Ray R. Sco- ville, secretary-treasurer. Although the college membership was small, the offi- cers conducted a number of successful activities. The college and high school officers had been working together pre- viously, but such an arrangement was found unsatisfactory; and for this reason, a separate Board of Control, conducting college activities only, was elected, a Board which operated very successfully. The Associated Students of Weber College have been well or- ganized each year since, the officers be- ing in direct control of all student activities. It has been the desire of President Tracy to provide beautiful surroundings and comfortable rooms for the members of the college. He has striven to develop a college that will serve the community and students socially, intellectually, and spiritually, and one that can call for the support and admiration of the com- munity. Departments of Education and Psychology. Political Economy, I Iistory and Political Science, Sociology, Bible Literature, I lome Economics, Music and Art. Modern and Ancient Language and Literatures. English Language and Literature. Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Geology, Botany, Zoology, Hygiene, Physical Culture and Athletics have been instituted to give this service to the students and citizens. The first College Prom, a strictly formal affair, was inaugurated in the Berthana, March 28, 1924, and the prec- edent has been continued each year since then. Many other social events of the highest type have been conducted 18 HISTORICAL i i during President Tracy's administra- tion, all of which are provided for the enjoyment and aesthetic development of the people. In his efforts to provide the proper environment. President Tracy has made many improvements in the college buildings and on the campus. In 1926- 1927, the auditorium stage was raised, and better equipment was provided for dramatic presentations. The floor of this hall was rebuilt to slope toward the front, and a complete new set of seats was installed. With the purchase by one thousand Weber Alumni of a Lee Greene Richards portrait of D. O. McKay, an art collec- tion of the outstanding paintings of Utah artists was begun, a collection which is being added to each year. About six thousand volumes of reference and text books have been pro- vided in the library. New furniture and other equipment, choice pictures and flowering plants, have added greatly to the comfort and beauty of the room. A like improvement has been effected in the offices of the president, secretary, registrar, and recorder. Throughout the entire building remodeling has been done. Through the efforts of the Church and Alumni Association, considerable property has been bought to enlarge the campus. The Grix home and the Ellis home were bought before 1923. Presi- dent I leber J. Grant, in behalf of the Church, contributed $8,000 to the cam- pus fund on July I. 1924. with which amount some property facing west on Adams Avenue was purchased. The Rich property on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Twenty-fifth Street was purchased by the Alumni in September. 1925, at a cost of $11.000. The Eliza- beth Baxter home ($4.060); the C. J. Elygare home ($8,000); the College Inn ($3,500 paid by the Alumni toward purchase); and the Mason home ($5,700), were all purchased during 1927. The attainments reached in student activities is further evidence of the growth of a college for Ogden. Every year since Weber became a Junior Col- lege, it has won the football champion- ship of the Inter-mountain region. In December, 1928, after receiving an in- vitation from the McKinley school. Weber’s football team journeyed to Honolulu to play the McKinley team. Although they did not gain victory, the trip was a profitable one. In basketball, the Weber team has always won its way to the tournament by being either the runner-up or the champion of the north- ern division. Public speaking contests have been conducted regularly and have offered opportunity for a number of students. Great progress has been made in drama. During the last few years, a number of plays have been presented in addition to the annual school play, and always with great success. A number of pro- grams have been given and sponsored by the college during music week each May. The forensic activity has been flourishing during the last two years. Last year (1928), Weber won the Inter- i I � y r i HISTORICAL 19 mountain Junior College championship. The team was composed of Winifred McConnel. Frank Rose, Frank Robin- son and George Williams. Mr. Rose and Mr. Robinson made a tour of the Paci- fic Northwest and Canada. Out of twenty-three debates engaged in on the trip, the team won seventeen and lost four; the other two were non-decision debates. This year Weber did not win the championship; however, great rec- ords have been made. Winifred Mc- Connell and Virginia Nicholas recently toured California where they made an excellent record for the school. David Kennedy and James Neil debated with colleges and universities in the North- west and won seven cut of eight debates. George Williams and Frank Rose, ac- companied by Professor Mon son, made a tour of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and intermediate States, where they engaged in a number of debates. A real college for Ogden has been one important motive behind these activities. Driven by this motive, Presi- dent I'racy. with the earnest coopera- tion and efforts of the faculty, alumni, and students, has labored earnestly to make an unequalled record for Weber. With this year’s great success has come a fear that there may not be fur- ther opportunity to make such records, at least under the present administra- tion of the Church. The First Presi- dency, and Commissioner of Education have announced that they are going to withdraw from secular education. This means that Weber, as well as the other Church schools, will either be closed or taken over and operated under the State educational system. During the last regular session of the Utah State Legis- lature, two main Junior College bills were introduced. One bill provided that Weber College and Snow College be con- trolled and operated by the University of Utah as branches of that institution. Another provided that districts having sufficient population and tax-paying ability be authorized to establish junior colleges. After considerable discussion, both in and out of the Legislature, both bills were defeated. 11 is our desire that legislation which will provide a secure future for junior colleges will be passed within the near future. For the time be- ing, we must work, wait and hope for the best. THE PURPLE AND WHITE W. I!.

Lind, devoted considerable time to the study of the occurrence of petroleum in the oil fields of Montana, Wyoming, and the Uintah Basin, Utah; and to the study of gold and silver deposits in Utah and Nevada. The mineral collection of the college was in- creased by the addition of a number of valuable specimens. The objective in the study of Chemistry is to lay a solid foundation for the pursuit of more advanced special courses in this subject given in senior colleges and universities. During the Autumn and Winter Quarters the fundamental laws of Chemistry were studied and the non-metallic elements received special attention. During the Spring Quarter emphasis was placed on western metallurgical practice and on Qualitative Analysis. iT ATHEMATICS may be defined as the economy of counting. There is no ' problem in the whole of mathematics which cannot be solved by direct count- ing. But with the present implements of mathematics, many operation of counting can be performed in a few minutes which, without mathematics, would take a life time.”—E. Mach. A science is made out of facts, just as a house is made out of stones, but a mere collection of facts is not a science, any more than a pile of stones is a house . . . Physics is essentially a system cf explanations—answers to the question. ’Why? —on the behavior of inanimate things. —Henri Poincare. Engineering is the art of organizing and directing men and of controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.”—Henry G. Stott. In this department we endeavor to lay a foundation in these fields which will support a superstructure of any magnitude. OURING the school year 1928-1929 it has been the purpose of the department of History and Political Science to vitalize all its courses and make them fit into the ideals and aspirations of the students. DEPARTMENTS 35 History has been taught as the story of the evolution of civilization, the analy- sis of the great motivating forces, religious political, social, and economic, that are the great underlying causes of our great present. The courses have avoided the mem- orizing of long lists of names and unassimilated dates, the petty intrigues ot court- iers and politicians, and incidents of transient significance. They have rather been a delving into the events and movements that have had an enduring influence on the development of present ideals and institutions. I listory and Political Science have been made to reveal the failure and the suc- cesses of the past as danger signals and guide posts for the future, and also to give color and tone to the other subjects of the curriculum. CIVILIZATION and progress have brought an ever-increasing demand for col- lege trained men and women. During the past decade the nature of this de- mand has shifted very markedly to the commercial and industrial fields of activity, and the educational institutions throughout the whole country have been called upon to furnish efficient and well-trained business graduates to captain the industries in the great commercial world. In line with this nation-wide movement, Weber has been developing a strong commercial department and expects to continue its efforts in that direction. This year the college has strengthened its business department faculty and is now in the front ranks in the field of commercial education. Let’s all boost our commercial department to the point where Weber will be- come indispensible in the educational system of the great State of Utah. GREA I'ORS of expression inquiring for vital bases of study, asking what is the mystery of message, what is art, sought the tree; and its answer to them was, art is truth, and truth is life—vibrant life, vibrant line. “I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.” - - 36 DEPARTMENTS UR increasing proximity to Europe has heightened the importance of Modern Language in the college curriculum, for it has added to the recognized cultural and literary values, that cf usage. Language is no longer a closet subject; it is studied to be presented in speech. Hence, our method has been to function as completely as possible in the tongue itself, to accustom ourselves to comprehend not only by visual but by auditory sense, to reproduce correctly, spoken as well as written lan- guage. Our objective is the utilization of the medium thus acquired to know more accurately and intimately the cultures of nations and races foreign to our own. fcJARLY in the history of man he became interested in the living things about him. As the centuries have sped by, a notable array of biological facts have been established. In addition to the principles on which the science is founded, investigators have found and named an almost unbelievable number of plants and animals. Al- most a quarter of a million plants have been classified and named. In the animal kingdom, eight thousand worms, two thousand five hundred sponges, three thou- sand five hundred reptiles, thirteen thousand birds, and three thousand five hundred species of mammals have been classified and named. To the novice it would seem that the field has been covered, but we find more biologists working on more problems today than ever before. The beginning courses in biology place the great panorama of living things be- fore the student as a fruitful field for human endeavor. HE Weber Gymnasium presents a splendid example of cooperation between the Weber College, the Community, and the Church, for recreation service, body-building, and right living, the value of which would be hard to measure. The lives of not a few boys and girls have been motivated bv the things they learn there and the things they do there. During the four years of its existence, seven thousand men and women, boys and girls, besides hundreds that have paid daily admission fees, have enjoyed regu- lar membership and partaken of its privileges. i DEPARTMENTS 37 III: curtain of Weber is about to fall at the close of the act of 1928-1929, and as it slowly descends there are sixty-three prospective teachers watching eagerly for a curtain to rise on a more fascinating scene—an important and interesting part in influencing and molding the lives of little children. As a preparation for their role as a guide for young children, the department of Weber College offers a complete normal course consisting of Educational Psychology, I lygiene. Physical Education, Principles of Education, Organization and Adminis- tration. and Methods. In training they demonstrate how well they can apply their theory. We hope to hear good reports from our student teachers. DO community is wholly indifferent to youth’s entering upon its mature functions and responsibilities, devoid of knowledge of what sustains and makes possible intelligence, health and enduring energy. Even habits that secure healthful func- tioning of the body need the supplement of an intelligent, interested attitude toward information that has forming power for race-growth. The department of I lome Economics holds an important place in the curri- culum of high schools and colleges, and ea:h year the enrollment increases because the courses offered stress the practical development of household efficiency and better and happier homes. Young women feel the need more and more of that training which qualifies for life and service. Weber has had a very successful year in I lome Economics. I IE Doctrine and Covenant. Pearl of Great Price. Book of Mormon and the New and Old Testaments are among the literary monuments preserved for modern times. They contain religious and moral truths invaluable to people of the past, present, and future. They bear specific messages to the youth of the present day. which, if hearkened to by them, will make of them citizens capable of solving for the modern world its numerous complex problems. That the students of Weber College may obtain, cherish, and apply the messages of the respective books in these important works has been the objective of the Department of Bible Literature of Weber College. DEPARTMENT MAJORS Bl( 1 .OCICAI. SCI HNCH IIO.M E ECONO.M ICS MATHEMATICS. PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING FT I.VIES in periods of disappointment the spirit of a student body seems lacking. Students have in mind primarily their own scholastic endeavors and pur- suits. The result is, of course, a period of quietude and lifelessness in the student body activities. Yet experience has taught us that neither student bodies nor any other institutions can be judged by temporary relapses. The student body which has a spirit is the one which rises in the crisis and accomplishes those things which are difficult and outstanding. I leterogeneous as was the Weber Student Body at the beginning of this school year, its members became united in the melting pot of W eber ideals and traditions. These same students have risen to a plane of high achievement and fine accomplishment. Through them, a football trip was taken to Hawaii. Through them, forensic activities rose to phenomenal heights. Through them, every activi- ty proved a success. These are reasons why Student Body officers of W eber desire to express their appreciation for the support they have received. May the spirit of Weber become a part of each of us to serve as a motivating force in all that we attempt to accomplish. Student Body President NE of the ideals of Weber College is to develop leaders to serve the commun- ity. We Sophomores, having had this ideal of Weber constantly before us in our daily class instruction, in cur student body activities, and in every activity that Weber College sponsors, are graduating from the institution with a desire to uphold this ideal of our school. Many of us are going to higher institutions of learning to continue study in our major work; many of us will serve the community as teachers; others of us will enter civilian life. But. scattered as we shall be in many different fields, we, as alumni of Weber, shall always carry with us the ideals of the institu- tion—an institution which we have learned to love. IT is with a source of pride that we. as Freshmen, review our first year at Weber; for we now can truly be called Weberites. Our sense of responsibility is in- creased by our having viewed the high performance of the class new graduating, and by our knowledge of the achievements of the classes of the past. I lowever, the loyalty and capacity shown by Freshmen encourage us to believe that next year the obligation to maintain Weber’s traditions will be discharged right royally, and in a way that will assure a continuance of Weber’s ideals and splendid accomplishments. president sophomore class PRESIDENT FRESHMAN U ASS STUDENT ADMINISTRATION STUDIiN'l BODY -Paul J.

SOCIAL ONI ! of the outstanding bad- ges for the royal coat lapel of Weber is her friendly spirit which doesn’t take long to manifest itself. Accordingly it cropped out, as is its habit, in the first week of the first quar- ter. To be exact, it was the first Friday that the student body decided to congre- gate one and all at Wright’s camp in Ogden Canyon where they reveled in a wiener bust and in each other’s com- pany; thence to complete the day by dancing in Weber’s own Gym. The comradery that makes Weber so glori- ously democratic was such a delight to all present, they determined to cling to it tenaciously, to not let it escape. By way of keeping the priceless spirit ever present, the student body resolved to observe all occasions when they could meet to enjoy each other fully. One of these was the daily de- votional which has long been one of the most inspirational institutions that ever bound students in a feeling of unity. Here the students met to hear educa- tional programs that served to lift the hearers up out of themselves into an atmosphere of devotion and beauty. Everyone loves devotional. Daily, in a still different section of the building was another activity (may we not call it that?) which served to bring the students more closely together. The library on the third floor, super- vised by Miss Browning, contained each hour countless workers that were strug- gling with education and its necessary investigations. Perhaps a pen was lent, some paper borrowed, a willingness to remain helpfully silent shown; and throughout the year, each new session of library served to unite the students even more strongly in a fellow feeling. Of course, not to be overlooked were the school dances, perhaps the most pleasant functions of the year. The next in line after the “Get-acquainted” party was the frolic held in the heart of the football season, held partly to celebrate our successes, partly to raise elusive funds for the trip to Honolulu, but mostly just because the students of Weber wanted it. At any rate, it was enjoyed so thoroughly by each individ- ual. and the group as a whole, that the following Friday a twin frolic was con- ducted in the Eighth Ward Hall. The Honolulu fund piled up beautifully as did Weber spirit. Then the time too swiftly came around to bid farewell to our football team and its boosters; so when the Berthana orchestra played “Aloha Oe’’ in the Farewell Dance, it was to a crowd happy yet sorrowful. During the absence of the team and other precious portions of the school, the students had need to call upon their rich fund of fellow feeling so that they might relieve their excruciating lone- someness. The fellow feeling offered re- lief bv uniting the remaining students into a dance, pleasure-filled to exceed all expectation. Lonely people having a glorious time?—inconceivable, yes, but that is what Weber students did, and they departed for the Christmas vaca- tion feeling happiness once more. Every farewell must have its return, so the vacationers returned with the New Year to take up studying once more, and to await the return of the voyaging Weberites. These departed friends journeyed back just in time for the basketball season and the dance which followed the first game. True to all precedent those attending were de- lighted at having come, continuing to 56 SOCIAL enjoy themselves just as thoroughly throughout the dances which followed all the basketball games played in Ogden. Founders’ week saw traditions and memories renewed; saw commlt.mora- tions made with due ceremony. Then by way of celebration in a lighter vein, the students indulged in ice-skating and hot- dogs on the ice-clad tennis courts. Founders’ week saw its close, the basketball tournament came to an end. and to set apart these events, a tourna- ment tag dance held forth in the Weber Gym. Speeches, watches, and honors were presented every dance was a tag dance, every round a pleasure. Thus ended the basketball season. s% k % The Acorn Ball was a glorious ball; Dedicated to its queen; dedicated to beauty. Red and white frills transformed into Valentine lace. Masks veiled the dancers as they sought to find their loves. The atmosphere held song and ecstacy-- And then, the Queen of all W eber was shown— Our queen in white was a true Valentine, lovely Blanche! So the ecstacy was higher still, then Fntertainment of the most delightful sort throughout the evening Was enacted so that all might see And say that this dance was the loveliest of all. To all good college folk there comes a Prom And if they are very good the dance is beautiful. Is joyful, as was the Weber Junior Prom. The hall was a fairy land of flowers— Lilies and ferns twined in green and white happiness; Pretty girls in dainty dresses, gallant men in black and white. Music that sang of spring— All this made a picture of loveliness that will ne'er be forgotten. � Hf Spring brought debating to Weber, and when the prowess of the debaters took them away to different parts. Weber gave them hail and farewell. The farewell took form in a dance given with the aid of our old friend, the Weber Gym. Although by mishap the debaters were forced to hie away before the dance, the spirit of our college came to the rescue and the dancers enjoyed themselves thoroughly, feeling quite happy with the memories of Frank and George for company, and the thought of their certain success. I:very year is not leap year but every year sees a Girls' Dance held at Weber. Naturally this dance is the heart’s de- light of the Weber College men. It was with glee that the girls traded dances; it was with joy the men submitted to the trading. Such a glow of happiness was present that it reflected on the face of everyone there. When the evening ended, it completed at- the same time the social season of the year, with not the finish but the firm continuance of a bond of true fellow feeling.

Pessimistic persons about the school expressed «real doub; that with Stevenson awav. anvthng ccuLI b- done about a football team. At the opening of the football season we found the situation thus: Coach Stevenson on a year’s leave of absence, studying and coaching at Berkeley: five Junior College championships to be defended: a trip to Honolulu facing an acceptable Weber team: and three hundred and fifty anx:ous students demanding that Weber’s honor be upheld. Enter a new character into the storv. The worthy authorities had recruited an old Webvr grad and athlete, well versed in the methods of Stevenson and able to expound to the mei with whom he worked, the art of the � � ame Bramwell. or Delt. as he was more commonly known around sch x)l. became the rew mentor and began to tu« at Steve's shoes. I low we'l he wore them will be sten later on in this nar- rative. The call to colors—black and blue. Per- haps it was the promise of a trip to Hawaii, or perhaps it was the craving for the contact, the fight or the desire to do something for Weber that brought an exceptionally large group out in the moleskins the first nioht of the work- out. Coach Bramwell wore a broad smile when he saw nine of last year's men troop onto the field. Nine members of last year's squad were back, but not one of them was sure of a posi- tion on the team for this year’s battles Even “Bugs’' Woods deserted his Dost of Cheer Leader to go out for the team. Needless to say. however, that “Bugs was on the firing line, putting life into the twelfth man” when the team appeared for the first game. But. that is another part of the story. Now we have the characters of the great college drama of football. The setting for the first act is the Lorin Farr Park. The stand is filled with Wildcat supporters. Who is this prancing out before us? Gealta gallops down the field, medicine case in one hand, water pail in the other. A faint cheer; Bugs” waves his arms and shouts. Three hip-hunahs for B. V. U. A roar! “Bugs” goes cra .v and is almost kneoked down bv the sudden on-rush of the Wildcats as they follow Captain Wangs- gard onto the well-marked gridiron. Pssssssst boom' Weber is embarked on her journey toward another football championship.

What's Snow to a bunch of Wildcats, anyway? The royal visi- tors from Ogden followed the brass band up the street, feasted as football plavers usually feast before a game, watched Bugs” run a foot race with a Snow merry maker, and th.n marched forth to the field of battle to help Snow celebrate their annual Home Q ming and Founders Day. Did they celebrate it? FOOTBALL 65 W ILDCATS WALLOP SNOW: CHAM- PIONS IN FORM: WEBERITES WIN HANDILY IN HOME COMING TILT ON EPHRIAM LOT. Dell, how could you spoil a perfectly good Pounders Day by melting all Snow? And then while the orchestra was still play- ing a grand finale, some scoundrel began a campaign to sell enough tickets for the Ricks game to land the whole team in Honolulu. It was a good idea at that. Weber needed at least two thousand dollars. The most feasible means of procuring the funds lay in the gate receipts of the remaining football games, in the dances that would be staged, and in the con- tributions that could be gathered. The Cham- ber of Commerce and all civic organizations immediately offered their support, and we thank them for their very worthy efforts in tiding us to send a team to Hawaii. The scene of the next act opened before a comparatively large crowd who had braved the elements to watch one of the greatest f(x t- ball contests ever staged at Lorin Parr Park.

The mud and water tended to slow down the game as far as actual sensa- tion was concerned, but the evenness of the two aggregations more than offset this draw- back. Both teams failed to score in a number of places where it seemed inevitable that they should. Anyway, it was a grand old “swim” with the score at the end standing 6-6 for either team. One more act.

HONOLULU DECEMBER 9 Sunday—Thirty-three expectant Cy- donites board the Southern Pacific for California. The occasion is a momentous one. for the lucky party is bound for far-off Honolulu, and Weber College is about to crash the bars of international football fame. -I Monday—The team is deposited at X X Berkeley where the cramps occasioned bv confining six feet into a five-foot berth are ironed out on the football field. The r x ters continue their way across the bay, get- ting their first glimpse of the city of many hills from the ferry, and are swiftly transported through the choppy waters to San Francisco. Baggage, taxi, hotel, dinner, show, and finally, the haven of one's own room. n Tuesday—“To your right ladies and gentlemen, you see the section of San Francisco that was entirely destroyed by fire and which is now completely restored ___You are looking upon the work! famous Golden Gate.... To your left are the finest golf courses in the world.” “I O Wednesday—The whole party re- X w unites at the wharf of the Matson liner. Wilhelmina. One eye is kept wariiy on the boy who so nonchalantly assumes control of bright new baggage. Precious tickets are carefully tucked away in inner pockets. A slight panic ensues when some careless person rushes off to the news stand for a last magazine or a box of candy. The warning whistle sounds. Pushing and crowding excitedly, everything is finally miracluously aboard, and the gangway is drawn in. 1 O Thursday—A strange change is ob- X served on board the W'ilhelmina. Smiling faces are magically replaced by deathly pallor. Sudden, involuntary trips are made to the outer rail of the ship. At nine p. m.. a puzzled moon looks down on the deserted deck of the W’ilhelmina. I A Friday—A few brave wayfarers ven- X jt lure forth and proudly establish them- selves in deck chairs. There is much cabin-to-cabin visiting. Mr. Shaw, who has not missed a meal, goes about bringing cheer to the bed-ridden. Miss Read, who is also a worthy sailor, recites what she has had for lunch. 1 w Saturday—For the first time, warm sun and smooth waters accompany the travelers. There is a noticeable lighting up of pale faces as the hitherto despised chimes for luncheon are sounded. Two p. m.: Wan spectators are tucked safely in deck chairs while the more hardy indulge in potato earn- ing. nail driving, shaving, cracker eating, and Are you dere Casey? contests. By six p.m. the staterooms are in wild disorder, and a more roguish bunch of sailors you never saw, attend- ing the “Hard l imes Party.” (To whom it may concern: Persons suspected for filling balloons with milk and wafting them to un- suspecting receivers with forks in their hands should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law). -| s Sunday—The way everybody hurries X O not ,0 be late for Sunday School leads one almost to think he was still at home. Nobody is late for the Weber Assem- bly. however, and President Tracy reminds the fellows of the ideals of Weber which they are expected to uphold in Honolulu. -| rn Monday—Mr. Shaw wins the horse X races for the third consecutive time: he goes about merrily jingling his winnings in his pocket. At dinner, which is formal, all are guests of the captain, who enter- tains royally. Joe, Lucile, and Eva are all awarded prizes for having won in the contests HONOLULU 67 of Saturday. As those who danced later in the evening agreed, acrobatic power, as well as grace is necessary to be a successful dancer on board ship. Tuesday—“Yes it is. No it isn’t. Yes it is—land! l:rom a mere cloud-like form on the horizon, there evolves the outlines of an island: Hawaii! Un- believably green, the Island of Oahu seems to rise sheer out of the water. To the land-starved eyes of the passengers, it appears doubly entic- ing. Mow they feast their eyes upon it! Suddenly, with no warning, they are startled by cries of Aloha!” Charming I lawaiian girls, all in white, with their arms loaded with gor- geous. fresh flower leis surround the football men. Accompanying the girls are Mr. Miles ('ary, principal of McKinley: Mr. Harold Kay and Mr. George Q. Cannon, formerly of Ogden: Mr. Waddoup. mission president: Mr. Woolev, and others that we know; and everyone is given his first taste of Hawaiian hospitality. But the greatest thrill of all is to follow. As the boat glides into the dock, the visitors are greeted by a I lawaiian band and choir of men and women whose rich voices carry out across the water. The incident is an unforgetable one. The greetings of hundreds of people at the docks, the strains of that melody of melodies, Song of the Island! As soon as they are landed, the football team is hurried off to the Barracks at Waheawa, where their training begins in earnest. Wednesday—At about seven a. m. there might have been noticed five young ladies slipping into the limpid waters of Honolulu. Many Oh's and Ah's are also audible as they find the water to their liking. It is discovered that what was thought to be an explosion in the night, turned out to be only a cocoanut falling on the roof of the cottage. Thursday—Some of the visitors are taken to Diamond Head and other points of interest, while others are initiated into the sports of surf riding and out-rigger canoeing.

Weber, undefeat- ed in football for six years, is to match her prowess against that of the dusky sons of I lawaii. MICKS PLAY BEST POOTBALL OP SEASON TO DOWN WEBER ELEVEN: WILDCAT ELEVEN BEATEN BY 13 TO 7. Such headlines graphically tell the story of Weber’s defeat. Yet there is no quibbling over the decision. McKinley's victory is a clean-cut one, and Weber bows to her superior foe in good grace. Though there are many heavy hearts among the Weberites this afternoon, the spirit which characterized her many victories is not lacking in defeat. Weber still has the best football team in the world. The I lawaiian Luau which follows the game does much to ajleviate the general glexjm. The startled stomachs of the guests make the ac- quaintance of fresh pineapple, raw fish, roast pig. baked bananas, jellied cocoanut. and poi. Nothing but one's own hands are used to eat at a Luau. The really delicious feast is fol- lowed by interpretative Hawaiian dancing. Sunday—Nine a. m.: The trip around the island is begun.

Dell faced a real problem when he stepped from the train, but he wasted no time in finding a solution for it. Prom the masses of material that reported for practice the first afternoon, Bramwell chose a large squad which he cut down as the season advanced. With legs still wabbly from the boat and train ride, the Weber Basketeers opened the season with a Pounders Day cagefest. The Spirit of Weber must have turned over on his throne when he saw Weber drop behind the Knights of Columbus' fast team at the half. The spirit must have smiled broader, how- ever. at the rally so ably staged by the Wild- cats in the last three minutes of play which brought the Purple from behind to lead at the final gun by the rather surprising score of 36 to 27. The dance which followed was as good as the game. Por detail, see the social section. At this point the B. V. U. began to feel just a little sure of themselves and challenged the Wildcats to a practice game. Their chal- lenge was accepted, and the Standard tells the story: WEBERITES SHOW POWER IN GAME WITH PROVO CAGERS: PURPLE HOOP- STERS COME PROM BEHIND; THIRD ANI) FOURTH PERIOD SPURT GIVES BRAMWELL MACHINE VICTORY IN CLASSY CONTEST AT WEBER GYM; KNAPP POPS SCORERS; JENSEN STARS POR VISITORS. Ooooo la la! What a game! Not to be outdone, the Weber warriors journeyed through the land of Zion, the land of 1 .chi. and into the land of the Provoitcs. Perhaps it was the atmosphere that affected the team or it may have been other things: be what it may, the Ogdenites were a little dizzy on their basket shooting and finished about nine points behind the men from Provo. And then came the big grind. With the salt shaken from their feet and the shakiness gone from their legs. Delt and his co-workers faced the task of hurdling the first big obstacle in the race for a tournament position. Before a packed gymnasium the Albion players took the floor and made their cus omary circle of the playing court before warming up. The hall resounded as the Albion players took the floor, but as Captain Moesinger led his huskies into the hall it actually shook. Who didn’t shed a tear as the team lined up; the good old Weber Banner was raised while the student body stood to sing Purple and White. The strains of that song seemed to sink into the blood of every member of the team. Did thev fight? And did Albion fight? Let the score be the indication. At the half the score stood even. At the end Weber led by 41 to 23. One less curve to turn. Milton Rawson was introduced at this time as assistant athletic manager, and the team proceeded into the Ricks game. Prom Rcx- burg came one of the hardest teams to defeat in the division or for that matter in the state. Battle, battle! Oh you Weber! Rrrr. Rah. rah, rah for the Purple!—Come on team! Atta old fight! and the next day, WEBER TAKES PAST CAGEFEST PROM RICKS FIVE; WILDCATS STAGE PAST GETAWAY. MOESINGER AND PARKINSON TWIN- KLE. And again Delt was happy. Our warriors left for the far north and the College Inn became a miniature stock exchange. Ed Hall became the center of attraction as he received the reports of the Albion game. ‘Tifty- t 70 BASKETBALL five to thirty-three. Ed said, and opened the door just in time to save the plate glass in the door from total destruction. To a similar group the next night Ed an- nounced that Weber had lost to the tune of 20-40. The group that had gone out shouting the night before went out that night with a smile of determination on their faces. With a week of idleness facing him Del? arranged a contest with the Westminster Col- lege of Salt Lake City, The Parsons played bravely and gave the best they had against a much superior team. Part of the time the Weber mentor used his entire second string, anti part of the time a mixture of first and second. The one sided score of 31-70 really isn't a good indication of the fight put up bv the Salt Lakers. The return contest in Salt Lake the following Monday was a repetition of the track meet at home. The Parsons were again snowed under by a larger, better trained team. At last the race had centered down to a contest between two teams for supremacy in the northern division. Ricks and Weber were running neck and neck for first place. AH Weber needed to do now was to defeat L. D. S. in order to tie Ricks for first. On the other hand should Weber lose to L. D. S.. Ricks would hold unchallenged right to the northern crown. With such a prospect in view imagine the crowd and the fight at the last home game of the season. The Purple won handily over the Blue, but lost for the season the services of Red” Knapp on account of a badly injured ankle. Undaunted by this mishap, the Wildcats in- vaded the abode of the Saints, and after a colorful game returned home to the Acorn Ball with another victory slated for them Thus closed the league until the tournament should decide further who should be supreme in Junior College Basketball in this section of the country.

UTAHNS BOOST BASKETBALL. So began the sixth annual Tournament. From start to finish the big cagefest was a thriller. Ricks and Dixie stepped up to the firing line first to open the tournament with a hotly contested basket tossing exhibition. With Parkinson starring for Ricks, and Blake for Dixie, the first gun of the tournament found Ricks with the first victory bv virtue of a 31-28 score. Then romped upon the floor the Weber tossers. Then the Snow. Then the snow began to fall in accordance with the heat from the hot playing of the Purple machine. Score at the finish—Weber. 43; Snow. 28. After that battle, just to finish up the evening's enter- tainment came the battle between the Blue and White and the L. D. S. True to expectations, B. A.

INTERMOUNTAIN JUNIOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT ORATORY LWAYS expanding and gaining in prestige, forsenic activities in Weber's curriculum have progressed until they have now reached an enviable plane. The practical training given to all those who really strive in this work is invalu- able in public life, for these workers find an opportunity to express themselves and to banish the eternal demon of fear. Public speaking work brings to the student an active mind and a freedom of speech which makes for power and conviction not only in school life but in the world outside the school. The student, who strives in this field, grasps an eternal gift which will bring him joy anil happiness in the ser- vice of others. Weber started out with high ideals in oratory. The sophomores and freshmen decided to undertake and solve the great mystery of the various political plat- forms. and. as a consequence of this decision, the Barker Extemporaneous speaking fray was begun. I his contest wa instituted by James L. Barker, principal of Weber from 1914 to 1917. Principal Barker presented the school with a cup which was to be the reward of an extemporaneous speak- ing contest. Pour members from each class complete. Two contes's are held, two fi'st- year students being pitted agai'st two second- year students in each event. The class poss s- sing the highest composite score is given the privilege of having its class numerals engraved upon the cup. Coming just before election dav. the general assignments, the potircal platforms, was pertinent. Por weeks preceding th? contest all the students exhibited an interest in poli- tics. unusual even at election p.r o.ls Na- tions had tried to puzzle out tue w v and the wherefore of each party plank and platform and had failed in all attempts at the solution of the national mystery. The Literary D'gest had failed in a« a'temot at the correct political solution, but Weber carried on. On the appointed day the four entrants from each class met at ten o'clock and drew lots so as to determine who would represent the classes in the first contest. The four lucky ones then had one hour in which to prepare their topic. At ten-thirty, fully informed upon their topic, each one came forth into devo- tional and spoke upon his assigned point. The sophomores bet the freshmen that they would win the forensic match and they did. George Williams and Winifred McConnell, represent- ing the sophomores, apparently understood the complex structure of the platforms better than did the freshmen. Margaret Schmalz and Grant Svphers. or. perhaps. Grant probably decided the prize was not worth the winning when he discovered that he could not defend the Social- ists but must need present the Republican cause in a clear light. The best excuse for the downfall of the “freshies” probably is that they hadn’t had their minds trained, as yet. in the com- plexities of college life. Next came the Grant con- test. This oratorical event, instituted by President ('r '- is held annually on his birthday, the twenty-second of December. President lleber J. Grant, of the L. D. S. church, started the contest in all of the church schools in the year 1919-1920. The oration, a prepared ten-minute soeech. is given without notes and the winner is presented with a book personally autographed by President Grant. Pew students entered this contest: evidently they were afraid that they could not uphold the dignity of the occasion. George Williams and Grant Svphers declaimed in a manner befitting dear old Weber. George winning the decision. As a matter of fact, both spoke so well that the placing of the award was hard to determine. There was a frantic rush for tax pamphlets and. for the first time in the history of the library, economics books were placed on reserve when the Classified Property Tax was an- nounced as the general assignment for the next two Barker Contests. Say, Eva, where is that book of L.utz’s or Taussig's’ll do? Say, hurry and lot me take the Principles of Economics. Oh. Jim's got it? I'll have to get another copy.” RED LETTER DAYS Winners Oct. 31 —First Barker Contest George Williams Dec. 22—Grant Contest George Williams Jan. 21 —Second Barker Contest James Neil ORATORY 81 Again all the student's brief cases were stuffed with literature. Taxation became the sole topic of conversation. Now and then pamphlets six. seven, eleven or fourteen bulged out of one of the aspirant’s brief cases and lay on the floor until som other avid tax fiend confiscated it. Income Tax. Land Tax. Classi- fied Tax. General Tax. Single Tax. double tax. triple ’v: everv deba'or’s and orator’s mind was full of tacks, and the sensation wasn’t a pleasant one. James Neil and Bill Capes championed the sophs”, and Virginia Nich- olas and Blaine Ramsden spoke for th Again Jim walked off with the extemporaneous laurels. (That seems to be a com- mon occurrence with |im). The old adage about the luck of a greenhorn was wrong once more, unless we believe, of course, that there are exceptions to every rule. The freshmen failed again. Shortly afterwards the sophomores. loe Littlefield and Norman Bingham, and the freshmen. I)o vain Wright and Wanda Ros.g gathered all the dis- carded pamphlets, torn bv much usage, pieced them together and perused them earnestly in preparation for the final clash. Long and dili- gently they stuffed their heads with taxes, and. most likely, the sophomores studied longer and more diligently until taxes bulged from their heads, for the older class triumphed once again. Thus the second year men won the honor of cherishing the Barker Cup for another year —until the freshies” grow up to be sopho- mores and win it for the sophs” again. Have you ever had a wave of the famed waters of the Great Salt Lake hit you in the mouth? It is a shock which befuddles the brain and chokes up the throat. No amount of effort will bring forth one sound from that undependable voice box. Many people had a similar experience one day in assembly. It was on a sunshiny morning that George an- nounced. “ Today is the day for the Lewis Ex- temporaneous Speaking Contest; Mr. Allen. Mr. Allison, Mr. Syphers. Mr. Ramsden. Mr. Bingham, and Miss f;oulg?r. wi I «ou please come to the stand?” Manv a mind went blank when its owner heard our own President's voice enunciate his name. When George proceeded to announce. “The general topic of discussion will be the Junior College Bill which is now before the state legislature,” each favored one ex- perienced a peculiar sinking feeling: neverthe- less each one walked slowly up to the platform. Norman must have felt as if the fates were over harsh with him for no soon« r had his foot touched that platform carpet than George an- nounced. Mr. Bingham will give the first speech.” So began six excellent arguments either foror against the bill. In this contest the speakers have absolutely no prepar- ation on their special topic. If they are not numb with fear, they think of what to say as they walk to the stage. The speakers always rise to the occasion nobly, and we learn to appreciate the quick wit of our fellow classmates. The contest is sponsored by the J. S. Lewis Company. It was started in 1915 and has been conducted annually since then. If Mr. Lewis had been there when the last emphatic voice ended, he would have been, no doubt, ready to let the future of our legislature and the settlement not only of the problems in taxation but also of any bill under consideration rest in the hands of such competent speakers. Blaine Ramsden was pronounced the best bxtempor- aneouseur” and received the medal offered by Mr. Lewis. Should a blessing or a ban be pronuonced on a departing class which bestows an annual oratorical contest on a school? This is a ques- tion which has often puzzled Weberites. I he class of 1905 decided to purchase a cup which would be a bone of contention in oratorical circles for years to come. I he '05 contest was held May 20:h. when the snow was all gone. Seme very fine speakers entered. Competition was keen as to who would win the right to have his name engraved in the '03 hall of fame. Emma Jacobs carried off the honor. RED LETTER DAYS Winners Jan. 22—Third Barker Contest Joseph Littfie'd Feb. 23—Lewis Contest Bkine Ram-den May, 15—'05 Contest Emma Jacobs DEBATING (Purporting to be excerpts from the diary of a debater) JANUARY IB: This evening, debaters day. More students entered than ever before. The judges listened to oratory for four hours. Trank Rose. George Williams, lames Neil, and David Kennedy won places on the league team, with Grant Syphers as alternate. The question debated was, “Resolved: that Utah should adopt a classified property tax.” We now turn to other subjects, and begin to prepare for inter-scholastic competition. JAN I AR M Debate tryouts held to- I'rom the Agricultural College and the Univer- sity of Utah met in our auditorium in a debate on the classified property tax. Mr. A. P. Bigelow, president of the Utah T a x pay e r s A ssoc ia t ion. p resit! e d: and a lame audience of students and citizens attended. The de- bate was very entertain- ing. We hope the two schools meet at Weber again. FEBRUARY 8: Frank and George defeated the Ricks College nega- tive team, and Jim and Dave won the deci- sion over their affirmative team today in the first league contest. The answer to the question. ‘Should the indeterminate sentence as now used by the courts be condemned?”, was thus decided by our debaters to be “yes. and no.” We are developing some very able politicians. Saturday, these teams will go to Salt Lake City to enter the league finals. TT.BIU AR 10: My good luck has not deserted me' Dave and Jim go to the North- west. Prank and George east—and Virginia Nicholas and I to California. We are all very much impressed. George has been induced to smile. Dave is finding it difficult to keep his mind on his family. Virginia and I are lost in visions ot oceans and oranges. Jim hasn't cut a class for three days, and Frank is still writing letters, letters, letters. The Northwestern trip is to inrlud; d bate in Idaho. Oregon. Washington, Montana, and British Columbia; the eastern one. debates in ('dorado, Kansas. Missiouri. and Illinois: and all of our debates (Virginia's and mine) will be with schools in California. It is an ambi- tious program, but not too much for us. The question we debate will be. Resolved: that a substitute be found for trial by jury.” The league contests are over, and we are now collecting books, pamphlets, magazines, and interviews, on “trial by jury.” PEBRUARN 17: Dreams will be realized tomorrow when Virginia and I leave for Cali- fornia. There is three feet of snow on the ground now, and more coming down. I hope the California climate doesn't disappoint us. Our first debate is on the nineteenth with Sacramento Junior Col- lege. Dave and Jim will leave next Thursday. With four of us wandering about at the same time Mr. Mon- son will have a large amount of worrying to do. MARCH 8: We ar- rive home safely—in spite of the atempts we made to follow all of the excel- lent advice we had re- ceived about trains, taxis, hotels, street cars, ferries, restaurants, and sight- seeing trips. We liked the climate, the people, the places, and the debates. We found no other school with as etxensive a debate program, or so much interest in forensics as Weber has, and so came home well satisfied. Letters from Jim and Dave indicate that they are having a successful trip. They will be home in a few days, if they don’t miss any trains. Frank is as submerged in this business of managing as he was when we left. The volum- inous correspondence of the Debate Depart- ment is crowding everyone else out of the Stu- dent Body office. MARCH 9: Last evening Grant and Frank debated with a team from Mount St. Charles College of Helena. Montana. The Jury System was vociferously condemned and upheld with effectiveness by all four debaters. This is the first time Grant has represented the school this year. Next year he should be one of the best. MARCH Id: Jim and Dave came home today. They won a11 but two of their ten de- bates. and although Jim says that in fulfilling Of nit processes of learning perhaps mun- is so important as Debating. It involves not only a sincere search and acquisition of truth, but also the basic principle of growth —expression. Truth possessed but unc.x- pre sed is fruitless. The discoiery of truth and its presenta- tion to our fellow-men is the noblest of pursuits. —Aaron W. Tracy DEBATING 83 their two-told mission, lie had the good time, and Dave did the good debating, we believe that it must have taken two of them to do as much of either as they did. Representation such as they have given us is a credit to them and to Weber. Take your bow. gentlemen! .MARCH 22: Mr. Monson and four de- baters drove to Ephraim today to debate with Snow College. The teams consisted of Joseph Littlefield. Blaine Ramsden, Grant, and Jim. There was no decision, but all five members of the expedition are sure they won — the proper attitude! MARCII 28: This eve- ning the administration entertained debaters and coaches from neighboring high schools at a banquet. The occasion was graced by the presence of Presi- dent Tracy and Professor Blaylock, two of our most enthusiastic supporters. President Tracy’s friendly :ooperation has encour- aged us to undertake things we perhaps should not have attempted without his help. Mr. Blay- lock was instrumental in the organization of forensics at Weber many years ago. and has always, officially or as a friend, played an important part in the debates. Representatives from high schools of Davis. Box Elder, Weber, and Morgan Counties, and of Ogden City came to the banquet, and were entertained, (we fervently hope) by a program of music and the customary ‘few words' from members of Weber’s debate department. MARCH 29: Mr. Monson. George, and Frank left this morning for Peoria and points east. Mr. Monson trusted Virginia and me to conduct our own tour: he even, after some deliberation, allowed Jim and Dave to go with- out supervision: but when Frank anti George began making plans, he decided to take them in his automobile. We are glad Mr. Monson is going to find something other than work. He was confronted with the task of educating ten debaters up to the point where they could en- gage in inter-scholastic competition, and he has accomplished the task single-handed. Frank's days as manager are almost over, but he’ll probably be haunted forever by the 347 letters he has written. George protested even as he put his bags in the car that he didn’t believe they were going. But they left, carrying road maps, tow ropes, and our wishes for their suc- cess. In a few weeks Mr. Monson and his young friends will return with stories of more victories. APRIL 1: Today we debated with the Agricultural College. Rondell Tanner and Dave went to Logan where they upheld the negative side of the jury question and Virginia and I debated affirmatively here, against the A. C. girls' team. Tre team was as good as any we have met. The first de- bate with the college at Logan proved very inter- esting. Mr. Blaylock acted as critic, and we found that, even at the end of season, there is much to In learned. APRIL 10: George and Frank have won three of their first four debates. They write of many good times and much excite- ment. The first few days they were occupied with snow. rain, and muddy roads, but after that, proceeded more comfortably. The events I have recorded here are only a few of these that we all shall remember. The long afternoons spent in heated discussions, the hours in class where some of us attempted to absorb the principles of logic, the many amusing things we found to do while we wan- dered about from school to school—all these have played their part in making the year busy and interesting. The efforts of our most capable coach. Mr. Monson, and Frank Rose, our en- terprising and indefatigable manager, com- bined with what little the rest of us have been able to do. have brought the results for which we hoped. The wide scope of our activities, and their great success has made this a year upon which we shall always look with justifiable satisfaction and happiness. APRIL 23: Prank and George returned today, having won six out of eight debates. Their return marks the end of a successful debating season. No subject in the curriculum is more conducive to nil around intellectual develop- ment than debating. It calls for research, for culling, for comparing, weighing and evaluating, for organisation. It trains the mind to meet situations with dispatch and decision. It calls for individual initiative, for courage and decision.

Lights! Curtain! The prologue of Weber's Dramatic Season begins. The scene in which our thirty would-be actors as- semble at the sound of the first bell is a familiar one—room twelve. The direc- tor calls for action, and Margaret DeVine stands before the rest of the group and chants, “Menny-enny-ah h-h- h-h-h-h-----” This. though perhaps unin- telligible to the aver- age person, wins the approval of Mrs. Wright, for it is an exercise which will develop in her pupils more charming voices. There is strong real- ism in the work done by Roger Woods as he interprets the poem. On the Jail Steps” (proving that an actor must know life before portraying it). One can sense, too, the heart throbs that Lovinia Francis feels as she pantom- imes. “Among My Souvenirs.” Our young players feel the usual urge to do Shakespeare; and we receive a real treat when Beverly Wood in the balcony scene says. Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name which. is no part of thee, take all myself.” and Joe Littlefield ardently replies, “I take thee at thy word!” After weeks of consistent study of voice, pantomime, diction, and inter- pretations. the prologue fades, and we are ready for the play. Act One—One Act Plays The four scenes of our first act shift from the lightness of romance and flowers to the dregs and drugs of the tenement. But there is an intervening study of our relations with God and with each other. Verla Green is engaged to Lloyd Farr. Drab, yet hopeful, she has waited fifteen years for the wedding bells. Ella Winkler, of Mr. Slov- sky's Florist Shop, sends her orchids, and her fiance thinks they are from another angle of the triangle. Every man fights to retain that which someone else wants—needless to say Slovsky's furn- ish the flowers for Verla’s wedding. Henrietta and Stephen B r e w s t e r (Lila Peters and Jack Moore) are happily married until Lila’s theories of psychoanalysis threaten to sink the ship. The explosion comes when Sister Mabel (Ellen Fairweather) twists these ideas and discovers her own suppressed desire for Stephen. Once more jealousy, that most useful of all human attributes when an author needs a climax, comes to the top, and all is adjusted. Cecil Gealta. as Mr. Strickland, is moved by greed and avarice. He de- clares that “not even the Finger of God can stop him from absconding with the life savings of investors of his Dramatic Art. in its real sense, should be a means to better speech, lovelier voices, greater imagination more culturi and charm; and to a deeper appreciation of literature, people, conditions, and countries foreign to the environment of the student, hi truth, it should influence his vocation, or avocation, through his ability to see and understand, and to give himself to such an extent that he becomes a person of person- ality. and that, a charming gracious one. His life should be fuller and better, and more sincere to. the extent that his appre- ciation and interpretation arc real and true. V3 JkXxi—� - . DRAMA 87 firm. The Finger of God does intervene in the form of a girl (Evelyn Jackson) who places absolute trust in his honesty. He tells Benson (George Williams), “I'm going to make good! I’m an honest man! Nance and Jim (Donna Manning and Bill Wright) face life hopelessly. Jim is moved only by the desire for revenge against the the judge who “sent him ud:” Nance by her love for Jim. “Two seeds planted in the mud. God does not intervene. Life is drunk to the dregs. Romance, pseudo- psychology, determi- nation to live, and death in life—our first act like a spectroscope has broken life into its component colors. Act Two—“Lai f That Off” The first scene reveals ten anxious young men and women, applying fine pencillings of make-up, repeating lines, tensely awaiting that great thrill which comes as the curtains part and the dazz- ling footlights rise between them and the hushed darkness beyond. It is February 9th. Weber is presenting her student actors in “Laff That Off.” As another curtain rises we see three “jolly bachelors,” Fred Taylor. Bill Wright, and Len Harbertson. who are sufficient unto themselves until Peggy Bryant (Carol Adams) drops in. War bugles cause Fred and Len to express their love. Only Bill, whom Carol adores, maintains a discreet silence. In the end the heroine actuallv wins the hero, Len is rewarded with a Pygmalion- ized Mop-up-us (Margaret Schmalz). and Fred comes out with a photograph and a letter announcing the arrival of a “third.” Everybody is rewarded. Lee Cain, the landlady’s lesser half, gets a drink, Donna Manning and Norman Bingham as a comedy pair get a hand. Bertha Agren gets an opportunity to exercise her Irish tongue, and Floyd Farr gets a chance to be in a show. Act Three—“Take My Advice” Scene: Auditorium Time: May Eighth Bradley Clement, a lovable young profes- sor, (Floyd again) says. “Now if you’ll take my advice—” The Weavers (Emery. Cecil. Mildred and Lucile) do. and there- on turns the play. Sev- enteen-year-old Bud is convinced that college will be a better choice for him than marriage with his “divine in- spiration” Marelln Scotte. “the fastest, fiercest vamp in town.” ( Would you believe it of Doro- thy?) Mr. Weaver’s tendency to “sign on the dotted line” whenever he en- counters a salesman, is overcome when he applies Professor Clement’s psychol- ogy Jimmy Thayer (introducing Jack). And charming Ann’s ambitions for a stage career under the direction of the effeminate Kerry Van Kind (Bill makes his bow. “ye-es”) are aban- doned. After successfully slaying all of the family's dragons, the young hero is rewarded with the hand of the king’s daughter. Epilogue Who are these arrayed before us on the stage for the final scene? Can they be the same thir y? Yes, but to each players has come a broader understand- in and fuller enjoyment of life which remains with him as the director.

I pray thee.” he asked quaveringly, what business today?' The one ad- dressed turned, revealing a broad, white brow anil a fine, del.ca.ely carved contour. There was something in the hauteur of the gently lifted chin, in the regal bearing of the head that marked him with the brand of Jewish aristocracy, lie was Lean- der. whom men called “The Lion”. “Some Nazarene.” he said in answer to the rabbi's question, who would b judged by Pilate and this council. I am told he is accused of blasphemy.” But why do they bring him here?” the old rabbi quer e.l. Do they not know we do not judge blasphemers?” Thou dost not understand, l ather.” spoke Leander condescendingly, lie is filling this people with false notions of his divinity, saying that he is King of the Jews. Lo, they bring him hither crowned with a plate of thorns. Aha! I'll wager he’s enough of being King.” The old man turned his eyes toward the portals of the court.

Leander, how calm, how self-possessed, how courageous he is in his suffering. Methinks there is something noble in him. I pray thee, let us show him mercy.” Leander clenched his fists. There will be no mercy!” he growled fiercely. “Away with him! Crucify him!” Immediately the mob took up the cry until it echoed like a death knell over all the building. “Crucify him! Crucify him! until it sounded, with increasing volume down through the ages. “W hom would ye that I would release,” said Pilate. “Barabbas. who is a rob- ber. or Jesus?” For a moment all was confusion; then someone arose. 'Tellow countrymen— he began. All eyes were turned upon him. I lis voice had startled them with its r:ch. commanding tone. “Who is it? someone asked. “ 'Tis Leander, 'the Lion’.” his neighbor replied. “Ilush. he speaketh.” “This pale and cowering man whom ye have brought doth say that he is King of the Jews. I a-k you. where is his scepter, his royal robes, his palaces? The King of the Jews must have power to ride the storm, to raise up armies at his command, to free us from the mighty clutch of Rome. Where is this. I pray thee? It needs not your wisdom to reveal the folly in him. This lowly Nazarene. King of the lews? lie mocks the royal title. Then again he dares to say he is the Son of God. Oh. mv friend. I quake in such great blasphemy against the most High •ehovah. He stands before you. Jesus of Nazareth. What say you we should do to him? Like a mighty thunder clap from a darkened cloud came the reply; “Crucify him!” I wash my hands of his blood. said Pilate, and the Jews, not realizing the fuH significance of the curse they uttered, cried. “Ilis blood be upon us and our children ” Mas’er. a hand touched Leander’s sleeve. “Wilt thou hasten?” Thy little daughter is very ill. THE LION On a couch, rich with plush and velvet hangings, little Myrnon lay. one chubby hand convulsively clutching the pillow, snow white against the brilliant flush of her cheeks. By the bedside stood Leander, his proud head bent low. The poise and bearing of the aristocrat was all gone now. He was no longer Leander, the Lion; he was Leander, the man. melted, softened by grief. Slowly a night and day dragged by, but still the child showed no signs of recovery. “Althea, dear.” Leander spoke in a choked voice to his wife as together they stood by the bed chamber, “is there not something we can do?” She ran her fingers carressingly across his brow. “Leander.” she spoke gently and with emotion. “They have called thee mighty, 'the Lion’ and have praised thy power to move multitudes to thy command. Yet hads’t thou ten times thy strength, thou coulds’t not heal our child.” Not many days later the old servant maid. Myra, crept softly to the bed chamber and found them in each other’s arm. weeping. Althea raised a tear- stained face. “Her breathing is heavy, and she does not know us.” she said. We fear that she will soon be gone.” “Dear Mistress.” said Myra, as she wiped a tear from her cheek with the back of a roughened hand. “I have a friend whose child was stricken with a dreadful fever. A lowly fisherman was called in who healed the child instantly.” Leander had been listening intently and as she finished he sprang to his feet. A new light was in his eye and a joy seemed to envelop him.—if there was some- one who could heal her— “Go!” he said hoarsely. “I bid thee hasten thither. Bring him at any cost. All that I have is his if he will heal my child.” But shortly Myra returned alone with blanched and streaming eyes. “ Tis useless.” she said. “O master they have crucified him.” “What?” he gasped. Cold drops of sweat stood on his brow as the calm, pale face of the Nazarene came before him. “Myra, who was this doer of miracles who might have saved my child?” Why master, did you not know? said Myra, sadly. “ Twas Jesus of Nazar- eth.

Cana’s lace shone with hopeful happiness as Johan hobbled back from the cottage he had visited, lie shook his head slowly and mumbled, No. Cana, this is not the By we seek, but I think it is the next one to the north.” Cana did not answer, but took her place at the cart, and they slowly trudged on over the dusty road. Their feet were sore to the point where each step was an agonizing ordeal, but there was nothing to do but go on. They were looking for their son F.ric Johannesen who was living somewhere in Denmark. The distance to the next By was not far. but it was dark when Johan and Cana Bjargan finally reached the top of a small bak and saw the hamlet below. They rested at the top. and as they peered into the darkness that was only broken occasionally by a light from some cottage, they wondered what they would find there. After a while Johan clutched the handle of the cart and whispered, We must hope. Cana.” and they went on. The first hovel they came to belonged to a husman. and there they stopped, hoping and praying it would contain news of Eric. Together. Johan and Cina approached the habitation. The door was opened by the husman himself, who. like the rest of his class, was nearly exhausted by his long hours of toil. Johan asked for information of his son. The husman was silent for a moment and then answered. Yes, 1 knowed Eric Johannesen: he lived in this By. but he moved away about two years ago and nobody knowed where.” Johan’s head dropped and in the greatest misery he turned to Cina who was staring at nothing, as if she were looking into the dreadful future. The husman told them to come in for the night and he would give them a little to eat. They moved to a shadow by the crude fire-place where, though they sat in a ghost-like silence, their minds were in a sickening turmoil. Johan's thoughts went back to his youth in Schleswig, Holstein. I le had had to work hard, of course, but his parents owned the farm: it was free Danish soil. For generations and generations back his fathers had lived on that same land, that same beloved soil that he had tilled and wrested an existence from: it had been conquered generations before by his ancestors. They had been in peace and contentment because of their skill in subduing the land. It had been the family heritage for years and he had been over every inch of that sacred soil, and had lived with it, and vanquished it when it became rebellious, his entire life. He and his kone. Cina, had struggled and been happy there for nearly fifty years. Their lane) was their life anywhere, but it was the soil of his race that was to be coveted. If it LOVE OF THE SOIL was not Danish soil it did not bring contentment Johan must have, liric had moved to the north with the intention of returning some day to receive the family heritage. They were pleasant memories to Johan; the old back-breaking days though they were, seemed beautiful after being deprived of a life on free soil. Then came the horrible memories of the war. the invasion by the Germans who wanted the land so they could build the Kiel Canal. They came over in great hordes, and conquered the land of their desire. After the conquest the decree was issued that the land should no longer be Danish territory; it should be Ger- man. a part of Germany. The people would have to speak German and adopt German customs. German soil!—no longer free Danish soil could his land be called. Johan and Cina had buried two children in Danish soil, his fathers for generations hail been buried there; now it was German. No, it would be impos- sible to stay. They were Danes and on Danish soil they must live. They would go north and live with Trie. T heir friends and neighbors had tried to discourage them, especially because of their age: but they could not bear to stay. So putting their necessities, and one hen into the cart, they had left the ancestral home. It was not sold; to sell the land would be like selling the bodies of their children who were in the earth. The journey had been torture, but they expected that, and now with no hope of finding Erie, the future looked sickening. They had few kronans left even though they had been given food often by the peasants. When Johan awoke from his stupor the peasant offered him and Cina some food, but they were not hungry. They were told where they could sleep, and then they went to brooding and dreaming again. The next morning Cina suggested that they might be able to become tenants in one of the dahls. so again they forced themselves to march. But it was a vain hope All the good land was taken, and the landlords could not use them, because they were too old. They travelled for days but never could the find land for old tenants. They were given a little food at some places that could spare it. and thus they were kept alive. Finally. Johan and (ana came across a piece of rocky, barren land. No one claimed it. so there they stopped. It was getting towards fall and they would have to prepare for winter. They first must have shelter. I heir days were long and hard as they worked on the simple dugout that was to be their home. They built it with rocks and mud. The roof was thatched and covered with dirt. It was a terrible thing to start the winter in. but there were others as poor and in as desperate conditions. After the dugout was made, they started to clear the rocks from the best part of the land. The' work was tor- LOVE OF THE SOIL lure. Some of the rocks were big and required hours of slow toil. Their hands were cut and bleeding, and by night their backs were stiff and weak. They dug roots to eat because they could not always find other f x d and it was not very often that they found a treasured egg that the old hen had laid. Besides,1 the eggs were saved for the dreaded winter that was to come. When Cina found an egg she would hurry to Johan and call, “Johan! Johan! sec, an egg. Our blessed hoan is helping us;'’ and then she would gleefully exhibit the coveted egg. With winter came bleakness and despair. It was cold. Food was impossible to get. Johan was nearly driven to stealing. When Johan appeared with a little frozen meat or crusts of black bread. Gina's heart beat fast and she would even laugh with joy if her cold did not keep her coughing. Even wood was hard to get for fuel. There was no axe and the snow covered the branches that were on the ground. It was a miracle that they both lived through the winter. Towards spring they felt encouraged although they were weak and hungry. One day as Johan was turning for home with nothing to eat for Cina. he found a tiny pig almost frozen to death by the roadside. At first he thought it was dead, but it moved a little when he picked it up: so he wrapped his ragged coat around it! and started the painful journey home. As he walked, his happiness and hopes increased. A pig meant so much to a person in his condition. As he neared his hut he began whistling an old feasting tunc through his cold lips. Cina heard it and dragged herself to the opening of the dugout calling hoarsly. “What do you bring. Johan? Johan, smiling like a young lover, cried joyfully as he stumbled towards her. “A graes, Cina, a graes. Cina clapped her wrinkled hands and cried for joy. They nursed the pig as if it were a child: it had the choicest spot near the fire- place. and Johan and Cina went without much of their food so that they might keep the pig alive. In the spring when the ground was bare Johan started his work on the soil. He turned it up with his shovel and then planted the seeds of grain he had brought with him from his old home. It was a beautiful spring, and the warm weather put spirit into the old couole. Then one day the precious hen lead nine little chicks into the sunshine. Johan and Cina stood in the doorway. The grain was growing nicely, the hen was scratching food for the chicks, the little pig had lived and was rooting in the soft earth. Johan straightened up and murmered, “Cina. next year we will have a cow.” —Dilworth Jensen THE THREAD livent less days; even years in unbroken stretch; miles of existence; a round ot things weighted with sameness. If there was joy---it had departed. If there was an exultation--it had gone. If there was pain or pleasure--I had forgotten them - - - until--- Today in the wake of a song of timeless love which sought through centuries its complement undiscouraged, joyful, hopeful even, to be at last requitted, at last received in all the myriad things that break into the soul and fill its hungering, and satisfying its seeking; Today that song flooded my reed dry soul; o'er filled it with the old transendend- encv caught up from L.ethe. where 1 had hurried it, the invulnerable thread. Love, my beloved that little path to yesterday!

That is the acme of weakness when lone builds around a broken thing a stern, cold wall to hide it from himself. Reborn, remembrance says with clear, calm voice. Oh live again, for these things are not thwarted! This would I ask. Forgive, that a song from the fire of another soul, should call love again to live. —Maude Johns FROM THE WINGS A twisting ribbon, silver bright, Slides out along the floor Beneath the heavy drop that hangs Around the magic door.

I can’t stay here—behind the scenes: Out there are parts for me. Give me my lines to learn and live. I’m not afraid to be That which I am! —Dorothy Foulgcr DUMB ANIMALS moment the unhappy humans were forgotten, but as he wove his way in and out the tall reeds he again pondered them over in his small mind. After his thoughts became so that he couldn’t extricate one idea from the other he gave up thinking entirely. It was then that he noticed he wasn’t going the way he came. By this time the mountain side should have been in sight, but it wasn't. All that Peter could see was a myriad of green stalks that supported the grass. Because this was his first encounter with being lost. Peter was really frightened. 11 is heart beat so fast, his side hurt. 11 is breath rushed up so hard, he almost suffocated. Now he was running aimlessly, hoping that just the process of running would conjure up the mountains. Suddenly a sharp pain caught him at his neck, lie hung for a moment shivering, afraid even to think. Had he been a more widely traveled animal he would have recognized that what held him so tightly and so painfully was a farmer’s barbed wire fence. But it sufficed to Peter that it pained worse than a very sharp stone, and held him like a vice. When he could stand it no longer, he knew that he must call for help. Per- haps the lie-human who was waiting would come. This human had no rod with a death-giving bang: he was only unhappy. So Peter opened his mouth and gave the wail that is so wierdly human. The first call brought no result, but he put all his heart into the second. Surprisingly it wasn’t more than a moment before he heard sounds behind him that gave notice of the human’s approach. Then fear froze him again, for he was remembering that it was this human who didn't like dumb animals, had a detestation for them, in fact. Peter knew that he was as dumb as the cat which the lie-human despised, even though he washed his own fur. Ilis breath lodged in his throat: for a moment his fear was almost more painful than his wounds. The feel of strong forepaws reassured him however, extricating him carefully from the treacherous barbs. When he was finally free he looked up into the face of the tall creature and loved him as much in that moment as he loved Mother Cheetah. The eyes of the human kept surveying him gravely: so Peter lifted up all his hope, love and gratitude and placed it in his own eyes for the human eyes there to sec. Then amazingly the tall creature said with an unusual, husky note in his voice. Why you poor little devil. Suffering and never whimpering.” Peter felt himself being wrapped with skillful movements first about hi-' wounded foot, lie and his new friend were so engrossed that they didn't hear steps. They first heard “Tony!” cried in a most beautiful voice; then they saw the dark-haired she-creature, and saw also that she had great tears in her eves. The tall one she now called “Tony” (and it sounded very much more right) DUMB ANIMALS turned and said quietly. “Linda, these animals really feel. They're nearly human —you should have seen this little fellow's eyes—oh my dear. I didn’t realize. Shh. Tony, don’t ever be gracious enough to allow me to forgive you—it is you who should forgive me for my foolish pigheaded ness, not to mention blindness. Why Tony—” The lovely creature was in Tony’s arms. Peter could feel her tears that he was sure were happy ones now; and because he felt that any third person was almost unnecessary, he hurried off. Mis bandages, because of this relief bothered him very little, and he waddled through the grass at a great rate. The mountain was clear now. Peter was up its side, and he didn’t stop until he was cuddled up by .Mother Cheetah, where he promptly fell asleep, as contented as only a little Cheetah that has done a good turn can be. —Vella Fowler RAIN Rain in the city— Cool, refreshing, Washing the house-tops Of their sooty burden: Changing the green of the park Into the color of my emerald ring.

In the fall of 1928 a tournament was conducted with Claude Jensen, win- ner. and Karl Pelham, runner-up. As soon as the weather permitted in the spring, tennis racquettes came forth and work was begun on the formation of a tennis team to represent Weber. Claude Jensen. Hyrum Holton, Alvin Steed, and Cassin Clark were chosen for the team. These boys journeyed to L. I). A. C. U., B. V. U., and other schools to play. A spring tour- nament was also held in between showers, and with its finish ended a most successful year for tennisites.
