'%, FOREWORD V v; Men told him Truth had hid herself away Behind the mountain tops and left no path Among the wheat-fields at the foot for those Who sought to follow. They said she rode A lean wind through the star points, far Beyond his reaching finger-tips. He turned Away and, walking with his eyes upon The shaven stubble, heard cruel laughter sound Above their barren stalks. Wheat-fields on a Mountain slope . . . and Truth that rides a wind And stars along the top ..they'd said. And there among the bleaching grain a withered Blade of gold stretched long upon the ground. Pointed a way along a mountain top. . . . DEDICATION Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. Keats Mwr.-v STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION George A.

Tracy MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES Would you achieve high citizenship? Then you must acquire the art of whistling or singing the songs of your heart as you hold the plow in the valleys and on the hillsides. A happy union of a cheerful vocation and at least one of the arts for the sake of culture is indispensable to happiness. I bid you seek a vocation that you and yours may be properly fed and clothed; 1 bid you master at least one art-music, poetry, painting, sculpturing, or architecture—that your soul may be fed the nectar of eternal happiness. A vocation and an art will force you into the realm of high citizenship where your love of your fellow men will cause you to lose yourself in constant service to them Let every moment of your life be crowned with a garland of unselfish con- cern for the welfare of both your enemies and your friends. Let every moment of your life radiate to human progress and the perpetuation of high civiliza- tion. May you work humbly and faithfully in your field. May you drink deeply from the fountain of the arts man's greatest achievements. I love each one of you dearly. God speed! AARON W. TRACY. President.

Henry Anderson History Klcon Kerr President Kathleen Foulger Vice-President Norman Christensen Secretary William Ogdon Treasurer STUDENT BODY COUNCIL The past year at Weber College has, in spite ol the limited financial allot- ments, been a highly commendable one. President Kleon Kerr, Vice-President Kathleen Foulger, Secretary Norman Christensen, and Treasurer William Ogden proved themselves worthy of the trust placed in them, first, by appointing capable committees to work in various student body capacities, and second, by unselfish personal endeavor toward the promotion of every sort of advan- tage needed by the College. The Program Committee succeeded very definitely in securing inter- esting, entertaining, and instructive programs. The Dance Committee provided amusement with lucrative as well as enjoyable results. The Publications Com- mittee made possible the printing of a yearbook, an enterprise which has been eliminated for the last two years. The Drama Committee superintended the production of a school play and entered a one-act play in the Provo contest The Debate Committee sent members of the forensic department on numerous trips and was responsible for the four debate tournaments held at the college. The Athletic Committee procured the necessary funds to finance trips for the football and basketball games held with the various schools in the State. Not necessarily brilliant achievements, but solid, worth-while results were effected through steady and persistent effort—perhaps more of an accomplish- ment because of the initiative and character involved. The student governing body is to be complimented. Kcxthleon Foulgor President Marian Wilson Vice-President Phyllis Barker Secretary Bonnio Adams Treasurer GIRLS' ASSOCIATION This year the Girls' Association has been inter- ested mainly in bringing its members into a closer friendship with each other. This closer contact has resulted in new friendships that have made the year more enjoyable, that may likewise enrich other years. To such an end have we completed our calendar. November 9—Patriotic Girls Dance January 10—Girls' Costume Party February 15—Little Girls' Party March 1—Spring Garden Girls' Dance April 26—Mothers' Tea May 5—Canyon Party May 10—Girls' Dance Roy Ross President Ruth Jenson Vice-President Dave Welling Secretary SOPHOMORES For the Sophomores the school year started propitiously with the victory obtained over the Freshmen at the annual outing in Ogden Canyon. Although handicapped by the regrettable illness of President Roy Ross, the Sophomore class, under the direction of Vice-President Ruth Jensen and Secre- tary Dave Welling, continued to operate efficiently. The beard-growing contest and the Winter Carnival, at which skiing and tobogganing and a hot lunch played the main parts, showed the spirit of good will and sportsmanship that prevailed during the year. The Sophomore class has attained a com- mendable standard of activity.

Its sponsorship of the Junior Prom was an achievement of merit. The Freshman Class produced, as well, two very good school yell leaders and displayed a proper spirit of enthusiasm, which if maintained throughout the coming year will assure a successful 1936 sophomore class.

He is devoted to the interests of the college and to all of its activities. He delights in the personal relationship that exists between him and his ath- letes, and between him and the student body generally. He is interested not only in scores and victories but in college youth. Coach Swenson is ably assisted by Carl Belliston, who is coach of swimming, track and field, and general trainer of all major sports. Coach Belliston is also director of intramural athletics. Under his direction an exten- sive program has been drawn up and carried out to the satisfaction of every- one. Lynn Foley, stellar 160-pound end, captained the Wildcats through the 1934 football season. Lynn was a good end, both offensively and defensively, and it was his work and experience that helped mold a football team out of the many inexperienced players who reported for practice. Much credit for the success of the 1935 basketball season can rightfully be given to likeable and capable Captain Stanley Watts. Stan was second high-point man in the conference and was selected on the all-conference first team. Carl Taylor, a former participant in athletics at Weber College, was chosen athletic manager to act as business representative of the school in sports matters.

FOOTBALL SEASON During the 1934 football season, the Wildcats engaged in five practice games and two league games. Forty-one players of Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Oregon turned out for football practice. Weber played the first game of the season October 2, at the Ogden Stadium, when the Wildcats met the Alumni. The Alumni had two chances to score during the contest, and the varsity one. Each team, however, lacked the punch necessary to carry the ball across the goal line, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. On October 13 the University of Idaho. Southern Branch, came to Ogden to play Weber. The game started well for Weber, the Wildcats carrying the ball deep into Idaho territory before being checked in their goalward drive. The Idaho team then started a drive that ended in a touchdown. At this point, the Wildcat defense stiffened and neither team was able to score, the half ending 6 to 0 for Idaho. Soon after the second half started, Weber's team, weakened by injuries and substitutions, gave way before the onslaught of the heavier and more experienced Southern Idaho eleven, who, led by McKrola, scored 39 points in the last half to win by a score of 45 to 0. On October 27, the Wildcats journeyed to Provo, where they showed unexpected strength in a game with the B. Y. U. Freshmen. In the first half the Freshmen scored twice as the re- sult of a perfect passing attack. After this the Wildcats outplayed the Freshmen, and only bad breaks kept Weber from scoring. The game ended 13 to 0 with Weber in possession of the ball on B. Y. U.’s one yard line. Three days later, on October 30, the Wild- cats played the University of Utah Freshmen at the Ute Stadium. Weber started the game with a team of reserves who, being nervous and over-anxious, allowed the Utes to score a touch- down, a point after touchdown, and a safety, for a total of nine points in the first quarter. The Wildcat defense began clicking more ef- fectively, and the Utes were held to one touch- down in each of the second and third quarters. With the entrance of the Weber regulars into the fray at the beginning of the last quarter, the scene materially changed. The Weber team staged a brilliant comeback, pushing the Utes all over the field, scoring once, and hav- ing possession of the ball one yard from the goal line as the game ended. Final score— Utah 22, Weber 7. The Wildcats made their last home appear- ance November 2, at the Ogden Stadium when they played the Aggie Freshmen. In a contest brimfull of penalties, the Aggie's greater weight and reserve power spelled defeat for the Wildcats. The score was 42 to 0. r The first league game of the season was played with Snow College at Ephraim, Nov- ember 9. The contest was close and thrilling. Snow scored first through the Weber line after a series of passes had put the ball in scoring territory. Neither team could work into scor- ing position, and the half ended 6 to 0 for Snow College. Weber came back after the half and, on a sustained march down the field, carried the ball 70 yards to a touchdown. The tie was soon broken, however, when Snow scored two more touchdowns in rapid order. In the final minutes of play, Foley, Weber end, caught a beautiful pass to score another Weber touch- down, making the score 19 to 12 for Snow College. The final game of the season was played November 17, on the Westminster field. The Parsons won a heartbreaker from the Wildcats. Westminster got the breaks in the first and second quarters when they blocked two of Weber's passes and scored each time. Watts then counted a touchdown for Weber, and the half-time score was Westminster 13, Weber 7. In the final quarter Westminster scored a safety. These two points were the deciding factor of the game, as Weber came back and carried the ball over for a touchdown as the game ended. Final score—Westminster 15, Weber 13. BASKETBALL TEAM FIRST ROW: Frank Walker, Max Snow, Coach Roed Swenson, Bill Weaver, Jack Dinncon. SECOND ROW: Stanloy Walts, Eldon Jensen, Lynn Wilcox, Howard Widdison, Lynn Foley, Cluff Snow. BASKETBALL SEASON SNOW COLLEGE AT EPHRAIM—JANUARY 11 and 12. After a fairly successful pre-season of basketball competition, the Wildcats opened the season with Snow College at Ephraim. The first night the Wildcats won comparatively easily with a score of 41 to 35. At the half the score was tied at 24. In the early part of the last period the Wildcats gained the lead and retained it throughout the remainder of the game. The following night Snow turned the tables on the Wildcats, winning by a score of 41 to 35 DIXIE COLLEGE AT OGDEN—JANUARY 21 and 22. On January 21 and 22, the Wildcats made their iirst home appearance, splitting honors wtth the Dixie Fliers in a two game series at the Weber Gym. Dixie led throughout the entire first game, being seriously threatened only once, when the Wildcats rallied to score 19 points while holding the Fliers to 8 points. This rally, however, was not great enough, and the Fliers won the game by a score of 51 to 34. The second night three of Weber's and two of Dixie s regulars were removed on personal fouls; reserves, therefore, battled during the final stages of the game. Weber's reserves proved themselves to be capable hoopsters, and Weber won the game, 28 to 43 and gained an even break in the two game series. BRANCH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AT OGDEN—FEBRUARY 1 and 2. The Branch Agricultural College came to Ogden to meet the Wildcats in the Weber Gym, February 1 and 2. The first game was dull and one-sided. The Wildcats were defeated by a score of 29 to 39 and were outclassed in all departments of play. The second night the game had more spirit. Weber led r- 17 to 15 at the half, but during the remainder of the game was unable to keep up with the fast Aggie team The Aggies won by a narrow, two-point margin, 37 to 35. WESTMINSTER COLLEGE AT SALT LAKE—FEBRUARY 8 and 9. With championship hopes fading, the Wildcats trounced the Parsons twice. The first game ended with a two-point lead for the Wildcats, 27 to 25. The low score was the result of the tight defensive work. The Parsons led at the half, but a rally in the early part of the last period gave the Wildcats the lead, which they retained. The second night Weber won again. This time the score was 30 to 22. Weber started off with a bang and kept the Parsons at a standstill, allowing them only four points in the first half. The Parsons rallied in the last half, to score 19 points over the Wildcats' 14. This gain, however, was not great enough to overcome the margin held by the Wildcats, and the Parsons went down to defeat. BRANCH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AT CEDAR CITY—FEBRUARY 15 and 16. On February 15 and 16, Weber s team journeyed to Cedar City to play two games with the Branch Aggies. The Wildcats lost the first game by two points made in the last six seconds of play. Both teams played splendid ball. The guarding was excellent and the basket shooting accurate. The second game was also won by the Aggies in the last two minutes of play when Jones and Adams threw a basket each. DIXIE COLLEGE AT ST. GEORGE—FEBRUARY 18 and 19. On February 18 and 19, the Wildcats met the Dixie Fliers at St. George. Both games were thrillers and both were decided in the last minutes of play. The score was tied in both games two minutes before the final gun sounded. The Fliers rallied to win each game by 7 points. The first night, the Fliers led throughout the contest and won with a score of 42 to 35. The second night, the Wildcats tied the Fliers at the half but were unable to get their lead in the final period. The score was 34 to 27. WESTMINSTER AT OGDEN—FEBRUARY 22 and 23. Four successive defeats did not discourage the Wildcats. The Weber players returned to the Weber Gym and won a two-game series from West- minster. In the first contest the Wildcats led throughout the entire game. Twice the Parsons got away to promising rallies, only to fade before the Wildcat offense. The Parson's defense was loose, allowing Weber to score at will. The second night the Wildcats made it four straight victories over the Parsons by turning them back with a score of 37 to 35. The game was spirited and packed with thrills. The score was deadlocked seven times during the game. With seconds to play, Foley. Wildcat center, caged a shot from the center of the floor, breaking the deadlock and giving his team a winning margin of two points. SNOW COLLEGE AT OGDEN—MARCH 8 and 9. The last two games of the season were played at the Weber Gym with Snow College. The Wildcats took matters seriously and in the first game stood out in front 15 points at half time. The invaders, seeing their chances for the Jaysee championship growing dim. came back in the final period with a scoring attack and won the game by six points. The following night Weber took the final game of the season. The score was 46 to 42. The lead alter- nated consistently throughout the game and kept the fans on edge. With the score tied in the last few minutes of play, the Wildcats staged a last minute rally to break a 38-38 tie, and turned an apparent defeat into a brilliant victory.

WRESTLING AND BOXING SEASON The schedule for Weber's wrestling team this year included practice matches with the freshmen teams of Utah State Agricultural College, Brigham Young University, and University of Utah, and two league matches with Westminster College. Of the practice contests, Weber won the match from the Utah Aggies and lost to B. Y. U. and Utah by close decisions. After the practice season was over the Weber matmen met and defeated the Westminster grapplers at Salt Lake by a score of 20 to 14. Several of Weber s star wrestlers were injured in this match, making it possible for Westminster to eke out a close decision in a return match at Ogden. As a consequence, each school gained one victory in junior college competition. A tie for the championship resulted, as these two schools were the only junior colleges entering wrestling teams. The Weber boxing squad competed with Westminster in the only inter- collegiate boxing event of the, season. Some of the members of the squad entered the Amateur Athletic Union Boxing Tournament in Salt Lake. They made a very creditable showing. Truman Carver won first, and Ed Steckel second in the 125 pound class. Glenn Ballard won second place in the 175 pound class. f TRACK TEAM SWIMMING TEAM TRACKSTERS FIRST ROW: Simpson.

After two weeks of practice, tryouts for team positions were held. The team selected was composed mostly of Freshmen, only one member of last year's squad being on this year's team. Practice meets were held with Weber High and Davis High. On April 19 Weber met Westminster Junior College in a track meet at Salt Lake City. The most important track event of the year was the Junior College Track and Field Meet at Provo, April 27. Weber entered a group of fourteen trackmen, who made the outstanding achievement of the year in athletics. They broke one conference record and placed first in seven events, to gain a total of 5972 points and bring Weber their first Rocky Mountain Junior College Track and Field championship. The Weber swimming team, coached by Carl Belliston. was the only junior college swimming team in the State. Therefore, the State competition was limited to high schools. During the year the team competed in meets with the Granite, West, and South high schools of Salt Lake City. Helen Parmley President June Griffiths Vice-President Laura Chadwick Secretary WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION At last the women have come into their own—and into the men's too. The Women's Athletic Association was organized at Weber College in 1935. Its purpose is to create interest in women's athletics. At a meeting of the Girls' Association during the winter quarter, Helen Parmley was elected president, lune Griffiths, vice-president, and Laura Chadwick, secretary. The Associa- tion began to function immediately and during the year sponsored several tournaments. The intramural basket-ball tournament, carried on over a period of three weeks, attracted seven teams: English, Sociology, Physical Education, Faculty, Business, La Dianaeda, and Otyokwa. After several well-played games, La Dianaeda won the championship of the tournament from Otyokwa by one point. On March 28 and 29 four girls entered a swimming meet in Salt Lake City. Mae Emmett placed for Weber. Volley-ball, squash-ball, tennis, swimming, and archery tournaments were also conducted. BOYS' INTRAMURAL CHAMPIONS Much interest was created this year in the Intramural events, which v ere under the direction of Carl Belliston. The first intramural tournament con- ducted was basketball. Practically every organization on the campus entered a team. After much competition the championship was won by the College Inn Dormitory Five. While this tournament was going on. the handball tour- nament was in full swing. Professors Roland Parry and Merlon Stevenson, representing the faculty, captured the championship. Two of the highlights of the season were the football game between the Freshmen and the Sophomores, which resulted in a scoreless tie, and the three-game basketball series between the Delta Phi fraternity and the La Dianaeda, girls' pep club. Girls’ rules were used. The Delta Phis were vic- torious and were treated to a supper by the La Dianaedas. The La Dianaeda team team later proved that they were capable basket- ball players when they won a close game from Otyokwa to gain the Girls’ Intramural Championship. GIRLS' INTRAMURAL CHAMPIONS Standing: Kathleen Foulgcr. Jack Higginbotham. Stanley Mansfield, Marjorie Wood. Sitting: Marian Wilson (director), Bernice Lindquist. The intramural one-act play contest was won by Otyokwa. Second place was taken by the Language Department with the play One Fine Day. Other departments participating were: Education. English, and Law. NOT QUITE SUCH A GOOSE By E. Gale CAST Sylvia Bell Bernice Lindquist Albert Bell Stanley Mansfield Mrs. Bell Marjorie Wood Hazel Henderson ....

Under the direction of Leland H. Monson, Weber's debating program has become one of the best machines in the West for building participating citizens. The magnitude and success of the entire speech program has evoked unusual comment from both v estern and eastern colleges and universities. This year a trip to Oregon, one to California, one to Bristol, Virginia, one to Salt Lake, and numerous clashes with visiting teams here at home have rounded out a satisfactory debating season. The more notable events of the program are recorded in the diary of a debator. SALT LAKE TRIP November 27—At the Intermountain Speech Tournament at the University of Utah eight debating teams are entered from Weber. Barbara Lindquist, Kathleen Foulger, Kleon Kerr, Jay London, John Nelson, Lowell James, Roy Ross, Dave Welling, Grant Goddard, Myron Walker, and Ralph Berrett are to compete under the purple and white. Competition here is very stiff. Schools from Utah, California, Nevada, and Arizona are entered. Under tournament rules, two losses disqualify a team; so the going will be hard. At the end of the first four rounds only twelve teams are left in the run- ning. Of these, three are from Weber.

The contest was non-decision. BRANCH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AT WEBER March 16—Four Weber debaters, Russell Harris, Edith Weaver, Evan Jones and Jim Lazenby, clashed with B. A. C. at Weber today in a lively inter collegiate debate. All teams made a commendable showing. UTAH-IDAHO TOURNAMENT AT WEBER March 22 Today Weber is sponsoring one of the largest debating tourn- aments in its history. One hundred and twenty-five debaters are competing for the intermountain championship. This tournament is to be of the double elimination type, wherein two defeats eliminate a team from further compe- tition. Weber has entered eight teams: Kathleen Foulger, Barbara Lindquist, Wanda Welling, Marian Wilson, Kleon Kerr, Jay London, Lloyd Williams, Toyse Kato, Sidney Gordon, Russell Harris, Nevin Richards, John Larson, Louis Babcock, Lowell Anderson, Melvin Ferris, and John Nelson.

The concluding oratorical event was the Evelyn Neilson Woods Contest. Wanda Welling placed first. CHRISTMAS DANCE Beauty, music, rhythm, grace Have lulled to sleep the ghosts of care; So let us be content To dream away these precious hours We've snatched from life. GIRLS' DANCE SOCIAL REPORT The social program at Weber College during this school year has been gay and interesting. The student body has been a united group whose aim has been to carry out successfully all student activities. The Christmas Ball, presided over by Miss Weber, Miss Bernice Lind- quist, was delightful and truly representative of the democratic spirit of the institution. Equally enjoyable was the Christmas promenade, sponsored by Excelsior and Otyokwa, at which Miss Aliene Smedley was presented as Sweetheart of Excelsior. The Excelsior Club sponsored the inter-school Snow Carnival Dance, at which representative beauties from the various high schools and colleges in the northern division of the State competed for queen. At the Heart Throb Trot, given by the Bachelors, the student body elected Miss Kathleen Foulger to act as Queen of Hearts. The Girls' Association is to be congratulated on its splendid organization and on its winter quarter Girls' Dance. Little Sister Day was a hilarious and spectacular affair and was thorough- ly enjoyed by everyone. On this day the girls went around the school in deshabille, and the boys went around in amazement. The Junior Prom at the Berthana Ballroom was the culmination of a gay social season. The year has been most congenial and happy for everyone, and the Weber College Student Body expresses the hope that other years may be as successful. - JUNIOR PROM Nothing may enter here That would disrupt The full communion of happy souls.
