Show PAGE FOUR THE WEBER HERALD TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1922 PRESENTS PLAY Great Interest Manifest in Wonderful Ability of Former Weber Student "The play's the thin" and has been ever since that mid-Victorian period to this age of movies and vaudeville. It has been one of the chief amusements of the race ever since the be-fcinninf? of time, and today it stands not only as an amusement but as one of the greatest educational factors in America. Of course, its educational value is dependent entirely upon the type of the play. The intelligence and the standards of a community are judged by the type of plays they foster. If this is the case then are we, the students of Weber Junior College, helping any to raise the standards of our community? Yes, I think we are. That we appreciate such things is evident from our attendance at John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln, one of the best plays ever produced, and at the plays given by Moroni Olsen. These four one-act plays were given in the Weber College auditorium on September 28 and 29. Here the play lovers of Ogrden got a real treat in the vastly different trend of the various plays. The plays given were "Foils is Foils," a comedv character study; "Cash Value," "The Other Door" and "Who Said What's in a Name?" Mr .Olsen is author of the plays as well as producer and actor. We are very fortunate in having Mr. Olsen again with us as he is an actor of no little merit, and we are very proud that he is a fellow townsman as well as a former student of Weber. During the past weeks Mr. Olsen has been traveling with Swartliemore company, one of the largest Chautauqua circuits in America, and this summer has been showing on the northeastern coast as well as in Canada and Prince Edward island. While with this company Mr. Olsen's "Who Said What's in a Name" was being played, as well as "Turn to the Right" by Winchell Smith. These were a great success. In all probability we will have Mr. Olsen with us this next year. He is very interested in the Little Theater movement in Ogden and will probably promote this in the near future, although it is very indefinite. Next year, Mrs. McKey states, big things will be accomplished in Weber in this line. She is planning on a big play this year to carry off honors, although she is not yet sure what the play will be. She is studying the various material and ready plays. Everyone who is interested in this line watch for the try-outs. There is talent in the school and it is this talent that is needed. Don't hide yours under a bushel. The help of the student body is needed behind such movements to make a big success, fellow students. If "the play's the thing," then "on with the play." Miss Maughn Heads English Department Miss Maughn succeeds President Tracy as head of the department of English. She is competent and will keep the department up to that standard to which it has been raised by Mr. Tracy. We have the reputation of having one of the most thoroughly organized and efficient English departments in the state and we are sure that this reputation will be maintained under the able leadership of Miss Maughn. TOO LATE NOW "Now, my son." said the conscientious father, "tell me why I punished vou." "That's it." blubbered the boy indignantly. "First you pound the daylights out of me, and now you don't know why you done it." THEIR FUTURE ASSURED Tom Darling, we can be married at last. I have obtained a position in the university.

Jewelers GIRLS' ASSN. GIVES MUSICAL PROGRAM Last Friday the students of Weber witnessed the best student body program given this year. The program was in charge of the Girls' Association and was a great success. The Senior girls and some of the other girls of the association gave two very clever plays advertising the Senior dance, which was given last Friday night. Alvin Leishman also encouraged more enthusiasm in the students by an excellent talk. Miss Tottie Hart, a talented and popular student of last year, gave a solo dance which was appreciated very much by the students. Frances and Edna Cragun, Ruth Wright and Heber Jacobs also did their share in giving the to students a very good program. The entire program was as follows: Prelude Frances Cragun Prayer Carl Green Talk Heber Jacobs Piano Duet Frances and Edna Cragun Play, "A Night at the Purple Poppy," Girls of the Senior Class Piano Monologue Ruth Wright Oriental Dance Tottie Hart, accompanied by Elenore Shorten Talk Alvin Leishman Play, "Her First Date" Members of the Girls' Association and Master David Shorten. Many other such programs will be given during the school year. The student body officers are anxious to have any class or organization put on a program at any time. They are waiting for you to ask for a day, so do not be backward but come forth and show the student body that you are alive. MEMBERS OF CLASS NAUGHT SEVEN! A letter to members of the Class of '07, by an alumni of Weber: Dear classmates of 1907: Our old Weber Stake Academy, as you are proud to know, is now Weber College. Some graduating classes are remembering their indebtedness to their alma mater and are contributing to its growth and greater service. They are coming to its aid, almost its rescue, as it makes the transition from high school to college. The immediate need of the institution is the financing of the gymnasium. The class of 1905 has contributed $400. Other classes are busy. I am responding to the request of members of our class who feel that we cannot afford to wait longer in announcing our program. They have said that their apportionment is ready. Since there are now sixteen living out of our original membership of seventeen, the individual allotments will be only $1R.75. If you can join in the effort, '07 will take its place with the other classes that have not forgotten the school to which they will always owe a debt of gratitude. Class '07 will help to pass on to those in the grades a bigger and better Weber. In extending the good wishes of each member of the class to you, as I know I can, I remind you that '07 is honored in the selection of Aaron W. Tracy as president of Weber College.With many kind remembrances of our associations at Weber, and with best wishes for your success, I am Verv cordially vonrs, GEO. C. ENSIGN, President Class '07.

STUDENT OFFICERS OBTAIN NEW ROOM Old Art Room to Be Papered, Cleaned and Painted; Much Needed Improvements There is a host of wonderful names that will just suit our new student bodv room. For some students it will be "The Land of My Own Romance." For the school in general it will be the "Land of Sunshine." where the heavenly flame is forever peering through the skylight. The new room is what used to be the art room and what is now Room No. 44. We have some "board of control members that will make that room the choiciest of all. Perchance some will even be "fired out" for stuffing classes to visit the room, not the inhabitants thereof. Room 44 is going to be papered, painted and cleaned. Curtains and drapes will complete the idea that Weber is our home. Watch this room become one where all will be united to one purpose and one end. CHANGE OF CREEDS A party of clergymen were attending a Presbyterian conference in Scotland. Having a spare afternoon, several of them set off to explore the district. Presently they came to a river, spanned by a temporary bridge. Not observing a notice that the structure was unsafe, they started to cross it. Thereupon the bridge-keeper ran after them in protest. "It's all right," declared the spokesman, "we're Presbyterians." "I'm no carin' about that," was the reply, "but if ye dinna get off the bridge you'll all be Baptists!" ONLY CHANCE Mother Johnny, why in the world are you feeding the baby yeast?" Johnny Boo hoo! she's swallowed my quarter and I'm trying to raise the dough."

"ABE" LINCOLN GRAND SUCCESS (Continued From Page One) causing disturbance, be removed from the house. The enforced withdrawal of one or two culprits would ensure good order thereafter. Patrons of the theater, excepting teachers and students, paid the regular matinee prices for seats. Almost were they entitled to a refund of their money, for the performance was marred throughout and spoiled utterly in places by the ridiculous behavior of children in the gallery. As a college and high school we are opposed to the possible repetition of so disgraceful an occurrence. LSI m Eventually PAINE & HURST "Where the Women Trade" Why Not Now? 2469 Wash.
