For the benefit of those who have not had the privilege of reading this article, the context is as follows: "Ogden high school students will probably remember the very complimentary article in the Ogden Standard-Examiner of October 7, which described our snake dance on the night before the L. D. S. game. The article spoke highly of the spirit exhibited and complimented the school on its showing. "Now our notice is brought to an article in the Weber Herald of October 14. which quotes theStandard-Examiner's article in full, and makes the following sarcastic addition : " 'If the newspapers of Ogden speaks so enthusiastic over the street, rally staged by Ogden high school, we commence to wonder what excitement Weber, with her spirit, will create when we play our first league game with Ogden. It will be "some day," as the expression goes. Even though we are smaller in numbers than High this year, caused by the elimination of an put one hundred freshmen, we will be bigger in numbers when it comes to showing spirit. Not only three hundred will parade, but at least double that number. Not onlv will graduates of the old-time school life declare it a success, but ?11 will acclaim it as such. Watch us,, Ogden! "When we first read the article there perhaps was something in their boast to outdo us; but when the day passed and not a single student nor a bit of purple and white made its appearance, we resolved that the article was the same old string of promises. High school has staged a successful snake dance before each game this season and has received the commendation of the city publication. "When Weber can evoke a like commendation from the city paper we will watch her. At present there is no need. Promises are empty things when not followed by action. "We dislike your attitude, Weber; but we might remark that your criticism would be much better if the grammatical errors in the first sentence of the above quotation were eliminated." As far as we can trace, the publications of the two schools have always been free from "mud slinging." We like good, wholesome rivalry, but we detest this article, Ogden; it rubs our fur the wrong way. This is a new kind of journalism, at least, school journalism. We don't like it, but, if it is the fad, we cannot be behind the times. If the Classicum wnnrl nslr cmnp one, they might be informed that a few days after this renowned article was nuhlislied in the Wphpv T-Tpvnlrl seven hundred Weber students, four abreast, making a line approximately two blocks long, staged the largest street rally ever seen in Ogden. As for the purple and while, more school colors were floating that day than ever flew before. Our band gave the business men of Ogden a treat they appreciated, and the Ogden Standard-Examiner gave up a write up in the evening paper that was something to be proud of. When Weber makes a promise, Ogden, she keeps it. As regards the grammatical errors in the first sentence, we commend you highly for being able to find them. The former editor is no longer here and cannot make an apology for himself. However, your point is well taken,, and we are sure to be able to profit by it. Probably an Exglish extension course from the Classicum might help, one never can tell. Weber Normal College to Weber Herald, Ogden, .Utah THE WORLD AT OUR FEET It is now as if we were standing on a hilltop with the whole world spread out before us in a checkerboard of joys and sorrows, sunshine and rain. We face a new year. We may do with it what we wish. We have our youth, that priceless treasure, we have a new, spotless page on which to write our record, and we have, best of all. unlimited opportunity.The whole world is shinning before us. We have days full of sunshine, blue skies and green hills; we have days when the world is all white and sparkley with frost and snow; we have days when the rain drizzles steadily down on brown leaves and glistening pavements. There are lulls and rises, calms and storms. These latter we must weather well with tlie enthusiasm stored up from joyous days. We have the world at our feet. What will we do with it? THE SHOP GIRL A Christmas Sketch "How tired my feet are! How I hate Christmas. All these people around Christmas is for them, not for us. Three more ' flours: 1 know I shall be dead. "What? Over at the lace counter, yes ma'am." "Talk about consideration! I haven't seen any, smiles more like cross words and commands this season of cheer! I mustn't forget tho' that little old lady who was so nice to me. She just smiled and bobbed around. But there aren't many like her. The children have such sticky hands and, oh the noise and uproar. Out there on the street all the lights shine out on the wet pavement, the people smile in at the windows and the big flakes are so cool. But come to earth its hot in here. These people with all their parcels, such knobby ones and flat ones, I'd like to follow them home. Now that gentleman with the holly wreath I'll bet he has a nice family. Sometimes there's something to smile about. That, embarrassed young man at the florist's counter some girl will have rosies tomorrow. The crowd is thinning out now and they're really closing the doors, Christmas Eve!! and it's 10:30. Not many smiles and cheer among us. Oh, this night air is good I'll leave my coat open and let the snow blow in. Oh, here's the little Salvation lass, I'll put in a dime some kiddie will be happy because of me and I'll be too. It's Christmas Eve! Barb. Old Custom Revived Continued from Page 1 already being organized under the direction of Lester Hinchcliff. They arc now practicing new carols, and the people of Ogden will certainly receive a treat Christmas eve. Plans havo been formulated by which all the business district will be compassed and Mr. Hinchcliff assures the people a good chorus. Children of various wards are also being organized to sing upon Christmas eve to the residents of the wards. We are glad to hear of this activity and wish it success. May this custom continue to grow, is the earnest wish of Weber. A college paper is a funny thing The statl gets all the fame; The business manager gets the dough, And the Editor gets the blame.

A SOLILOQUY I may look old, Brother Tracy, and though you would suppose That I'd sown my wild oats long ago; I will tell you the truth of my life and my woes, You can judge for yourself if it 's so. At the first of the year we had themes by the score, Till my head was o'er flowing in grief; It was themes every time we came into the door Till I longed and I longed for relief. I am just waking up to tho fact that we then Might have taken repose and a rest. For of late we've been taxed 'till ! thought of all men, You can sure put our nerves to the test. But a word of advice to the ones who, next year, Will come seeking the best to be had; Just take English I and you're coming right near To the heights of success, dear comrade. Cleone Lindsav. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT It means: A kindly smile for the tired girl Sick of the shoppers' ceaseless whirl, A penny dropped in the Lassie's box, That means an urchin's Christmas socks. Lifting a little child on high To view the toys, nor let him cry For the want of a tale of Santa old (His smiles will repay you back threefold. ) A smile or help in choosing a gift, A muddy crossing and maybe a lift, Not wasting money but spending it well Giving gifts whose value tells. And in your gifts let there spirit be A holly ribbon a red berry. Reckon thy gifts not in cents this year But in loving friends who are kind and near. If you think our jokes are old and weak, Don't stand around and groan; But jazz us in, some bright day, Somo clever -ones of your own. Heard in tho Herald Office: Louise eating candy.

They may wear a smile, but under the grin, Deep down in their heart, there's pain. They think of the things, that gave joy wings, And vow they'd ne're do them again. Others have said, "Life's just dream," And never awake from the trance. But dream through the night and dream through the day, Leaving their fate to chance With a peaceable sigh, and a mist in their eye, They look to the great beyond : Avoid the strife, and the big things of life Live in tho days that are gone. But wise men say "Life's just a span, To prepare for eternity;" And they work and watch, devise and make, Chance to maturity. With energy strong, and hope all along, They climb to the highest goal. Attain the things, only good deeds bring; Attain the peace of soul. Ruth Mathews. Abbey (jingling two dimes ii his pocket): "What will you have a" drink or some ice cream?" "Both," she answered demurely. |
