J. Q. BLAYLOCK Everybody's friend, ev- erybody's counsellor, who could be a finer trustee of Weber ideals than Daddy Blaylock ? Loyal to high moral and mental stand- ards and champion of true education, he stands as a pillar of strength on Weber's firm foundation, a beacon light to the better things in life for all those who are his students. HOWERED with mellow sunshine and refreshed by the quiet breeze among the leaves of the two gnarled trees, the Gymnasium is the realization of many dreams, the tangible evidence of a love of health and beauty in- stilled into student hearts. But love of mind control and intelligence are also expressed. These types of truth Social Science IEANINGLESS dates become significant under the tutel- age of this department. People walk out of the dullness of the pages and become flesh and blood, with problems as vital as ours of today are to us. Once becoming real, these figures of the past make us desire to understand them. Thus history becomes vital. Contemporary problems of fi- nance, of commerce, of industry, are brought concretely to the fore. They become, under careful guid- ance, not wordy theories, but real, living truths applicable to modern life. Economics, political science, and sociology form the background upon which one can build a super- structure of truths which one en- counters daily. are symbolized in a youthful bronze figure standing in an alcove high on the college front. Through two great windows on each side, the warm morning sunlight filters into the library, dancing upon the polish- ed tables, before the rows of heavy volumes and over the wicker ferner- ies.

Home Economics i HE work of this department centers around the subjects, hygiene home nursing, and cooking. Hygiene is taught with the aim of instilling into students an intimate knowledge of bodily func- tions and of teaching the methods of maintaining bodily vigor. The course in home nursing, comple- menting hygiene, details the pre- ventative and curative methods of retaining physical efficiency. It is in the culinary art that this department has made its most practical demonstration. While learning the secrets in the prepara- tion of attractive meals, the students, directed by Mrs. Tanner, operate a cafteria which is patronized widely. LYDIA H. TANNER With motherly solicitude for all her students and patrons, Mrs. Tanner has won a loving niche in the hearts of all. Efficient, artistic, and hospitable, she has nude the Weber Cafe- teria a noontime haven for uork-weary minds and hungry bodies, and her classes a home for the learning of problems in home-making. HIKE a temple of Venus, the gymnasium stands a symbol to ideals of health and beau- ty. The Olympian figures high above the tall broad windows per- sonify that aim and inspire the de- sire to attain equal beauty and symmetry of form. Set between four columns, pillars of strength, the figures are expressions of the ideal. Page 11

English Language and Literature 1011 ISLE AD by its power frl| and inspired by its beauty, all great artists and devotees of literature have loved language. All of us, in one way or another, are vassals of the written word. It forms our opinions, unlocks the doors to King’s Treasuries,” and, in general, acts as an inconspicuous, but no less potent, guide ithrough life. How important, then, to understand the proper use and composition of English! In the classes of Marian T. Read the inspiration and material neces- sary for these achievements is found in affluence. During the autumn quarter the work centered in orient- ation towards goals, professional and cultural. Craftsmanship, the qual- ity stressed in creative writing dur- ing the winter season, was continued throughout the spring quarter in advanced expository writing, which emphasized particularly the process- es of definition and analysis. COOL, green lawn, fra- grant shrubs, and tall, majestic trees have mellow- ed the cold red brick below the bronze monument into a friendly strength. Overhead the brilliant blue sky, flecked with snowy clouds, gives promise of a fine day, while gaiety and anticipation combine pleasingly with a certain quiet dig- MARIAN T. READ The spirit of service, of comradeship, of adventur- ous curiosity that animates the personality of a suc- cessful teacher, distinctive- ly characterizes Miss Read. There is always present about her an atmosphere of culture , She inspires a student to want to be- come somebody , No wor- rying about that teacher's mood from day to day! , nity to give fair promise of a suc- cessful year. It will be one which will live forever as a beautiful memory in the lives of many of the students. Enjoying the cool delights of the broad green campus they will learn to love the old College build- ing and the Grecian splendor of the Gymnasium. Page 13
