EXCHANGES Mark Twain, when a boy, went to school in Hannibal. The Philadelphia Bulletin reports a veteran Missourian as saying. "The school master once set the class to writing a composition on "The Result of Laziness." Young Clemens, at the end of the hour, handed in as his composition a blank slate." . Exchange. COMMERCIAL TEAM MAKES GOOD RECORD The Commercial team of Weber Normal College has had wonderful success in basket ball this year, hav ing won 13 out of 15 games played. bince tne tuture representatives or Weber in basket ball will probably come from the members of this team, their record is particularly significant. j The lineup of the Commercial team is as follows: Llewellen McKay, right forward; Lavern Wilkin-j son, left forward; Walter Brice, : center; Clyde Heiner, left guard, I and Thomas Hickman, right guard. on Wednesday, l-eDruary y, tney met the Brigham seconds for the second time this year. The first game, which was played Monday, February 7, on the Brigham floor, was won by Box Elder, the score Deing 1-14. Aitnougn tne score played an excellent game. In the second game, two days later, the Weber players showed their pep, and won by a score of 29-26. The game was exciting throughout, for the teams were evenly matched and several times the outcome seemed doubtful. The rooters were few in number but en thusiastic, and they enjoyed one of the most interesting games of the season. McKay and Heiner starred for Weber, Heiner making several spectacular baskets. In the second half Crawshaw relieved Hickman. The Commercial team has been defeated only twice, once by the Brigham second team, and once by the Scowcroft Never-Rip team. The Scowcroft team stands at the head of the Commercial league at prcs,-ent, with Weber a close second. CLASSES ATTEND MURDER TRIAL Two classes of English F, the one o'clock sections under Miss Maughan and Mr. Wilson, were excused on Tuesday, February 8, to attend the morning and afternoon sessions of the court and listen to the arguments presented in the trial of Mrs. Barker, who .was accused of killing her husband. All sections of English F are studying methods of argumentation, and the visit to the court was for the purpose of acquainting the students with the practical application of the principles they had discussed. They were instructed to analyze the arguments used by the attorneys and to note the use of evidence. Owing to the interest taken in the trial by the public, the court room was crowded to capacity, and for this reason only two English classes could be admitted. Other ' sections will visit the court in the future, so that all students studying argumentation may have the opportunity to study at first hand the arguments presented by excellent lawyers. Mr. Wilson's class in commercial law also attended the trial of Mrs. Barker, hearing the conclusion of the case. RADIO STATION IS PLANNED AT WEBER At the convention of Church school teachers held during the Christmas holidays at Srlt Lake City, it was proposed that the Church establish a radio system throughout the Church schools. This proposal was voted upon by the science and mathematics department, and was suggested that a committee be appointed and that Professor Howells of the L. D. S. University act as chairman. This committee was to investigate the proposition and was to report to Superintendent Bennion. Professor Howell has established a station in the L. D. S. High school and is training men for government and railway positions. The L. D. S is the only Church school which has a radio station at present. Through the radio system the students of the L. D. S. correspond with large stations on the coast. There are a great many students participating in this work, and their interest in it is very keen. Professor Barrett of the Mechanics department says, "Weber should organize a radio club this year and should start the preliminary work at once so that at the beginning of next year instruments could be put up and active work be started." President Ricks is eager to have a club formed and a radio station erected, as he wishes the studentT of Weber to have experience in such scientific work. When the radio system is begun, the course will be given under the direction of the science department. The radio system would advertise Weber better than any other specinl activity that could be organized. Messages received from other stations by radio could be published in the Herald if they hfd news value. All school news would he placed upon the bulletin board daily. All results of debates and sports roul1 be sent over the wireless. The science students are particularly interested in the proposed plan. FIRE DRILLS TO START IN WEBER "Safety first" in case of fire is to be the motto of Weber. A committee -from ihe faculty has been ap pointed to work out a feasible plan j lor fire drills, so that in case of fire the building can be emptied quickly and ill an ordeilv manner The plan suggested by the committee is as follows: Five bells two long, one short, and two long will be the fire signal. At this signal the students in the old section of the main building will march out through the north east door, which will be automat j icany released at the fire signal; . the students in the basement of the i new section of the main buildine will leave through the northwest door; the students on the main and upper floors of the new section of tne main building will exit through the southeast door; and the students in the Griggs building will march out through the doors by which they usually enter for classes. Old Section of Main Building' The order of marching follows in detail. The students in the basement of the old section of the main building (those in the domestic art and doemstic science rooms) .will march out first, using the northeast door; the students in room 7 will follow, and then those in room 18 will march down the circular stairs and leave by the same door; the occupants of the study hall will follow, marching four abreast to the circular stairs, dividing and descending the stairs two by two, and meeting again at the foot of the stairs to march on out four abreast; the students from rooms 19, 20, 22 and 21 will then follow in the order given. All of these students march out through the lower hall aiiu exit by the northeast door. New Section of Alain liu'ld'::ri The classes in the basement of the new section of the main building will exit by the northwest door in the following order: the students from room 5 will lead, followed by those from rooms 6. 4, 2, 1 and 3. marching in the order named The students on the main floor of the new section of the main building will exit through the south east door, the students of room II: leading and those of rooms 8, 9, 1(1 and 11 following in the order given. The students of room 25 will then march down the south stairs and follow those of room 11. The class in room 2 4 will follow that of room 25 and the students in the .isseri-bly hall, in room 2 6 and in the Acorn room wi'l follow in their order. " T This order of march is given so that those rooms nearest the. door will be cleared first in order that no congestion will occur. Griggs Bu'ldiiK The students in Gl will leave by the front door, those in G2 will exit by way of the side door leading to the front porchj1 and those in G3 will march out through the back door and down the back steps. The committee, in making this plan for fire drills, assumed that in case of fire all exits would be free. They are now working on an emergency plan to be used in case the fire should block an exit, or stairway. Special Ilwommeiidations The committee recommends that three fire escapes be built at Weber, one in the old section of the main building, probab';- leading from the study hall, and two leading from the assembly hall. This would forestall any possibility of students being trapped in the upper rooms in case of blocked stairways. The committee also recommends that the space in 'front of the northwest door be kept clear. Cars are now parked directly in front of thi", door and such a condition in case of fire would impede the progress of students leaving the building. It is also urged that all students continue marching till the sidewalk in front of the buildine: is reached, and do not return until instructed to do so. No one should stop for wraps. No student should leave his own line to march with another group. Everyone should marcn in an orderly manner, avoiding boister-ousness.Large printed cards will be placed in each room. Each card will tell exactly what the occupants of that room should do in case of fire. This, uev.ee wm In the past. Weber has not hadl good facilities for the prevention or fire and the students have had no training in fire drills. The admin- oration is aoing .in n J '" insure the safety of the students, of , Weber, and the co-operation of the students is requested. FLASHLIGHTS OF PLAY TAKEN Saturday evening, February 12, Mr. Rabe from Ridges' Studio took flashlight pictures of the characters in the play. Each act was staged and the most important scenes selected for the pictures. As. soon as the photographs are finished they will be used for advertisingpurposes. JUNIORS GIVE INTERESTING PROGRAM Friday, February 11, was Junior day in the Weber Normal College, and the class gave a short but entertaining program in devotional to show that the Juniors are very-much alive. The class also gave a dance in the evening, following the basket ball game between Weber and Morgan. The Juniors displayed their beautiful new banner on the stand during the exercises. The prelude, a piano solo by Wealtha Bramwell, was beautifully rendered. Following the prayer, the first number on the program was a saxophone solo by Edns Chris-tiansoh which was enjoyed by the students. They clamored for more, but the Junior class president, Leon Bush, announced that because of lack of time there would be no encores given. The solo was followed by an excellent reading, "When Melindy Sings," by Marguerite Rogers, given in her usual gay and charming style. The little touch of pathos at the end was well brought out. The last number consisted of two selections by the Junior "I. O. U. Not'' string quartette. The members of the quartette were Helen Slater, Edris Christiansen, Leon Bush and Julian Stevens. They sang an original Junior song accompanying themselves by playing on uke-leles, and this was applauded so enthusiastically that they were forced to give another number. They played the well known "Purple and White" anil the students stood while their school song was given. The time was then turned over to the student officers to advertise the game and the dance. President Wright urged the students to attend the game to be played in I It1 evening with the Morgan tcm Frank Douglas then led t!-p dents in a few rousing . y'r'Ils. The new school songs ' v.'h'rh. "v? students have been practicing fr several days were led by Professor Mannir Edris Christianson exit march. played the LYCEUM COMMITTEE . IS APPOINTED It has been announce! in th" "Blue and White" that a Lyceum committee has been appointed for all the Church schools.- This committee will solve many cf the problems of entertainment and instruction which have arisen in the schools, by establishing a course of lectures, programs, etc., to be given in all Church educational institutions. Professor T. Earl Pardoe of the B. Y. U. has been appointed chair man, and Professor Hyrum Msnwar- ing of the Ricks Normal College and Dr. Thomas T. Martin of the Millard Academy are the other two members of the committee. It is expected that each Church school will be benefitted by this central organization of a Lyceum bureau. NEW PLAN FOR THE MARCHING IN DEVOTIONAL On Monday of this week a n?v plan of marching from the assembly hall after the devotional exercises was adopted, and it has proved very effective in giving an orderly ap pearance to the close of devotional. For some time both faculty and students have felt the need of more systematic marching. A faculty committee was appointed with Professor Jenson as chairman to work out the details of a feasible plan, and the report of the committee was adopted and put into practice. According to the new system, the students arise at the sound of a chord and face toward the center aisle. All doors are used as exits. The first twelve , rows march out through the west and east doors at the front, and the six rows at the 1 rear march through the rear door on the east. The faculty and college students exit through room 18. The students of the first twelve rows march to the center aisle, form four abreast, march to the front, and then separate, two marching to the east and two to the west . At the same time the students at the rear are marching, two rows on one side leaving first, then two rows toward the rear and leave by the " . . ... This plan, as soon as it becomes a matter of routine, will be very effective in clearing the assembly hall rapidly and systematically. The students should heed the warning to continue to march down the stairs, as otherwise the doors will be blocked and the marching impeded.Evelyn IT. in English Exam.: "What" did he give an exam like that for? Didn't he know we were preparing for dates?" What kind of dates, Evelyn, what kind? WEBER TO ENTER EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING CONTESTS Weber will enter the State High School Contests in Reading, and Extemporaneous Speaking to be conducted by the University of Utah. The state has been divided into eight districts, and in each district there will be two contests., one for boys and one for girls, in reading and in extemporaneous speaking. The material for the reading contests will be Dickens' "Christmas Carol." The University of Utah suggests that this classic be taught in English and Public Speaking classes of the schools, and that no coaching of contestants be done aside from regular class methods. The students will not be required to memorize any part of the selection.Two weeks before the final contest at the University of Utah, there will be a contest for boys and for girls held in each of the high schools participating. Each student will be given one-half hour to prepare a three-minute selection from the "Christmas Carol." At this contest one boy and one girl will be chosen to represent the school at the district contests. One week before the final contest", there will be two contests in erch district, one for boys and one for girls. Each student will be given one hour to prepare a five-minute selection from the story. , At these contests one boy and one girl will be chosen to compete in the final contests. Final Contests On the evening before High School Day at the University nevi spring, two semi-final contests will be held, one Tor the boys and on for the girls. Each of the students will be given one hour to prepare a 'en-minute cutting of the classic to be read in the finn 1 contest. A gold medjl will be awarded to the winner of first place in the final contest for boys and another to the winner of the first place in the girls' contest. A silver medal will be awarded to each of the two winners of second place. The main point, to be considered in judging the contest is: Toes the' con tes lint bring life to the printed words of 'he s or;? That is. dee-. he make the ssory and its characters re-live in our minds? The general topic for t.hb extemporaneous, speaking contests will be "Industrial ard Economic Resources of Utah.'' In the contest the top'c is to be limited to some specific subject. The manner of conducting the extemporaneous contests will be similar to that of the, reading contests, except that there will be no separate divisions for boys and girls. District Contests Two weeks before the final contest at the University, each of the schools of the league will choose one student to speak at a general district contest. The candidates of these preliminary contests are to be given one hour to prepare a three-minute speech on a specific subject which" they are to choose from a list of ten specific subjects secretly prepared under the direction of the principal. One week before the final contest at the University a contest will be held in each district, at which one student will be chosen to speak in the final contest. In the district contests the contestant shall be given two hours to prepare a five minute speech on a specific subject chosen from a list of ten specific subjects which will be sent to the district director by the University director. This list will be sent in a sealed envelope and is to be opened in the presence of the contestants at the time of choosing subjects for the contests. Final Contests Twenty-four hours before the final contest at the University, the candidate will choose a specific subject from a list of ten prepared by the University director. The student will be given seven minutes to speak on the subject chosen. A gold medal will be awarded to the winner of first place, and a silver medal to the winner of second place. Professor Barker of the University of Utah, former principal of Weber Normal College, has offered a priza of five dollars to any student of Weber winning a place in the district contest, and a prize of ten dollars to any student winning a place in the final contests. Any student wishing to enter either of these contests should confer with Professor Tracy immediately.Jos. Anderson now sits between Delbert and Cora on student-body day, by order of Gert.
