IV WEBER GYMNASIUM PERFECTED To Be Built Facing Twenty-Fifth Street At a recent meeting" of the church presidency, a motion was passed giving the school authorities of the institution complete power to carry on the plans for the completing of the Weber Gymnasium as outlined. This act marks the first step toward making our gym a reality and it is anticipated that work toward its construction will be under way immediately. Weber's gym will be built on practical the same principle as the Des-eret Gym in Salt Lake. Any student who has investigated this latter gym can imagine what an asset such a building will be to Weber and also to Ogden City. lhe strui.ti.i-!-, -n -oi-rlii1ri- to the pre-vnilirsr planc. is to be three lonVs in ( ieight. It is to contain 'thrc basket ball floors, a dance hall equal to any in the city, a large swimming pool, and a number of other conveniences for real indoor sports. With such a gymnasium to Weber's credit it is apparent that this school will grow to be one of the largest and best known schools in the state. With such a place to train our athletes, we can be assured of an all state team in any kind of athletics. The gym will also be an aid to the school intellectually. Modern educators have recognized the necessity for real recreation in order to achieve the highest degree of intellectual efficiency. Naturally, therefore, Weber College will be among the leaders of the state'in all kinds of activities when our gym is completed. TERRY RETURNS TO WEBER Has Been Working For GovernmentTrof. Win. Z. Terry has returned to Weber after serving with the government for about four months. Mr. Terry left Weber near the close of the second semester to accept a position offered him by the War Department. His return to the position of instructor is to be considered as very fortunate, as he is recognized throughout the entire state as one of the best teachers in mathematics and has written a number of books on this subject.Prof. Terry lias been connected with Weber ever since it was organized. He has seen Weber grow from a small school to the present institution and he knows our weak points and will be a strong social factor. Mr. Terry will resume his former position as professor of mathematics. That he is fully capable of filling this position is unquestionable. Weber welcomes 1'rof. Terry back again to our midst.

And better still, Aaron Tracy is a Weber Alumnus and expects to make our school his home. fter graduating from Weber he was the Principal of the Eden School for several years.

Mr. Snell lias been raised to be a banker, but he has become so absorbed in young people's activities that he has decided to use his talent for the good of Weber. He is a star debater. He was the editor of the 1918-19 B. Y. U. yearbook and was awarded the efficiency medal of that institution. Our students may expect some excellent work with Mr. Snell in economics and sociology this year. MISS OLGA WUNDERLY, A. B. Our students will find a rare friend render his more intimate influence, yet we feel confident that through his power and personality the spirit which has so long characterized this school will now spread to the entire system. The men associated with Brother McKay on this commission have also very splendid reputations as leaders and educators. Air. Richards is a practicing: lawyer in Salt Lake City. Richard i.

After two years away from home he is coming back with more enthusiasm and a broader smile than ever. His rich tenor voice makes him a great asset to the musical side of our school life. Mr. Manning has just completed a summer's work at the Chicago College of Music, where he studied under Oscar Sacnger and Herbert Witherspoon. but his resignation became effective a short time ago. This important position is now held by Adam Ben-nion. Although still a young man, he has had a thorough training and a rich experience. Before accepting the present post he was identified with the University of Utah as associate professor of English. Under the leadership and guidance of such men as these the church schools should certainly grow and prosper. The present reconstruction period calls for new adjustments in education and these men are highly qualified for the tasks of the new era. 7 No. 1 INSTITUTED TEAM TO BE PICKED SOON Good Material Already in Sight All right, now, everybody, nine rahs for the football team. Such is what will be heard at Glen-wood park on Thanksgiving day, when Weber and Ogden clash for the state football championship. Say, won't it be a grand and glorious feeling? But really, fellows, the inevitable has happened, and Weber's eleven is to join the other grid teams this season in the contest for state honors. When the church board of education decided in favor of football a new era in athletics was made possible for the church schools throughout the western country. It is the general belief that football is a useless, as well as dnno-erous game for the schools, but this beliei' id rapidly changing to the more modern idea that, the sport is an asset to the school as well as a great benefit tt those who participate. In former years teams relied mostly upon sheer weight and brute tactics, but now games are won by scientific plays, and general team work. Needless to say, football is one of the real tests of courage and sportsmanship and it helps keep up the moral of a school. The public schools of Utah have been enjoying the benefits derived from the gridiron sport for several years. Even our "friends" up the street have won the championship. But this year Ogden will have to build up an entirely new team with a new coach. We can at last start on an equal with the "Tigers." No doubt the East Side High of Salt Lake will have a strong team in the League and with two weeks more training will prove formidable adversaries. Davis will have the benefits of an experienced coach. But any deficiency on our part in experience will be more than balanced by Weber's traditional pep and loyalty. Coach Watson has been studying the science of football all summer, and has spent some time in Salt Lake with Tommy Fitzpatrick, coach at the U. of U. learning the rudiments of the game. Weber has the material. It is up to the student body to make football a success or failure. Money must be appropriated, a suitable field for practice must be secured, and above all the candidates must be encouraged, because they will be fighting under great difficulties. Among the probable participants who have had previous experience on the gridiron arc Jcppson, Lindsay, Critchlow, Doxey, Brewer, Norton, Croft, Farley and Linford. With these and many other of the same ability "Wats" should be able to develop a strong aggregation. The team will be composed of eleven men and about nine subs. K. G. F., '20. |
