GUY H. HURST Trained by experience as an accountant, Dr. Hurst is prepared to give to his students the attitude of present-day men of affairs hi this field. Like his clothing, his temper is never ruffled. He is a teacher who commands respect, yet commands it in such a way as to ob- tain friendship at the same time. ONG ago, when these stairs were new, their charm was in their splendid beauty of form. Now, after years of increas- ing wear, they still hold as their chief attraction that same beauty with an added touch of tradition that clings to them, acquired through years of service and toil as a winding way into upward retreats for quiet study. (BusinessCAdministratioJi HE realm of finance and economics the Judges of Precision and Accuracy dic- tate with unyielding justice. Figures must be found that will chart the course of the ship of finance over the turbulent seas of Business. The work of the student special- izing in this field has been done with the desire to gain accurate training in business problems. Courses in ac- counting have been given through- out the year, efficiency in quick tabulation being gained by contin- ued practice. In the autumn quar- ter a study of commercial problems opened the door into new vocations. Winter found the group engrossed in details of effective marketing, and the spring in questions of public finance. Page 22

BERTHA E. WRIGHT A certain poire and as- surance in Bertha Eccles Wright, acquireJ through many years of observation and study with finely- trained devotees of the drama, combine with her own charm in a distinctive personality. Her char- acteristic naturalness and her open frankness com- mand the love and admira- tion of students. N the campus, the Freshmen and Sophomores are already casting icy missies that sel- dom reach their goal. Cold snow- flakes from the trees shower into their bare faces. A spirit of good fellowship is in the air, a secret long- ing for Christmas vacation combin- ed with a dread of examinations and a consequent lack of desire for thoughtful study. Through it all the college stands in almost solemn silence giving no heed to the ele- ments that surround it. It stands immutable; yet with all its dignity it carries a cheerful air of friendli- ness that is characteristic of its true relation to its students. cDramatics since the dream of the Weber Little Theater was inspired by Mr. Lemuel B. Josephs, famous friend and one-time instructor of the drama at Weber, it has been the fond hope of many enthusiasts that the dream be act- ualized. The return of Mrs. Wright from the coast, where she has been studying at the University of South- ern California, has acted as a pow- erful stimulant. The Rex Theater has been pro- cured as a stage upon which students may develop talents through the production of plays. It will be a laboratory for the drama, training young men and women to be future leaders in this art, selecting students of individual talent to progress as specialists, and building a cultural center where the best in drama may be introduced.

 CLARISSE H. MALL Cares of college files anil records rest upon Mrs. Hall, yet beneath her burden she not only ex- acts efficiency in the high- est degree, but also retains an ever-increasing ability to win friends and to maintain a disposition un- ruffled, frictionless. (Registrar PON the accuracy and com- pleteness of the records is built a super-structure of transferred credits, references for business purposes, and settlement of disputed credit rights. Through her ability to keep the multitudin- ous figures at pencil point, and her accuracy in all details, the calls made upon the school’s files arc answered quickly and correctly by Mrs. Hall. The file, containing the registry cards of the entire student body, stands formidably in the office defying anyone to solve its intrica- cies. Mrs. Hall meets its challenge and keeps it constantly correct and ready. Alumni records and all stu- dent body transactions are kept with the same scrupulousness. UR highest steps rest beneath a tall Gothic arch. It is a gateway to higher knowl- edge, a gateway to the land of books wherein past and present may be read and understood, broadening the views and ideas cf students and their relation to life and its complex problems. It is an inspiration to lovers of symmetry, a work of architectural art. Page 2}
