Among committees, clubs, publications, debate, dramatics, athletics, and intramurals, to name a few activities, is at least one opportunity for every student to take part. Each student who cultivates one of these extra-curricular inter ests adds much to both his education and his pleasure. See you at the opening-gun dance. Here They Are Your Officers For 1939 - 40 Kay Storey Secretary Rolfe Peterson President Rolfe Peterson Student body president Dan Curtis Treasurer Barbara Reeve Vice President Everything Is Ready All summer long tne campus lias orisued wuh activity because we Knew tuat you were coming. xne Dusiness oi-nciais nave worKea aevoteaiy ioiiowing tnrougn orders lor furniture, laboratory supplies, and scnool equipment. XHe Superintendent of Buildings and urounds nas Kept five crews working at a feverisn pitcn to get the Central Building ready for you. These workmen, mostly our own boys, have remodeled the inside of the building, painted it inside and out and even washed its face outside. The transformation is so marked that you will be astonished. New departments of art, nomemaking, carpentry, vocational business courses, courses in discriDuave traaes and aeronautics have been added, and students are now rushing to register while there is still room. One of the finest contributions to your education lies in the new Weber College Ogden-Community Greater uoncert Series, which offers you nine major numbers at the Ogden high school and half that number at the college. Such numbers as Lawrence Tibbett, and Cryl Orchestra, the Russian Cossack Singers will be experiences long to be rememberd. The student body officers are meeting weekly to formulate plans for what will unquestionably be WeDer s greatest year in student activities. Expansion of the campus, the addition of several new departments, tne renovation of buildings and the planning of student activities do not represent the only directions in which preparations are being made for you. The faculty-is not to be outdone in its progressiveness as shown by the fact that over forty members returned to school soon after the first of the month to plan your work, reorganize their courses and work out guidance techniques that will insure your continous growth. The faculty is convinced that the school's entire investment n added campus, added buildings and equipment is significant only as these facilities make for improved instruction because, after all, this is an educational institution and instruction is its purpose. Weber college will become known for the excellence of its faculty. The buildings, the equipment, and the faculty do not make the school. It is the student body that brings the campus back to life and helps more than anything to give it spirit. Indications are that Weber will have a student body one thousand strong, happy in living, seeking joy in fine accomplishments and satisfaction in cultured shared living. All of these preparations are for you. They are intended to help you qualify yourself for the career that you have planned, yet you must remember education is something that you must do for yourself. It is not something that anyone else can do for you. Earnestness of purpose and willingness to work ahead at full speed are characteristics of all real Weber men and women. Yes, we are not only ready for you, but we are most eager to welcome you because we know what Weber College can do for you. H. A. Dixon President Opportunity Awaits You Tne warm hand of fellowship, the genial eyes of good will, and the smiling face of friendship beckon you to join this happy college atmosphere. A democratic college, where students and faculty supplement studies with a rich program of wholesome student body activities, bids you welcome. And whether your chief aim be the pursuit of the highly academic training of the professions, or the masterly skills of the trades, you will find a well-trained faculty ready and willing to be of service to you. M. L. Stevenson Dean -of Instruction The College Book Store Welcomes You to Weber WE SUPPLY YOUR SCHOOL NEEDS Like A Nose-Dive The calendar rolls off the days of freedom before we settle back into the old groove of school I look at the oncoming freshmen with envy and wish I could say to everyone, "Hello there, you lucky freshman with your wide open, puzzled, eager eyes! You look as if you're in a quandary tryine to decide what course to take and when and from whom ; everybody is trying to tell you what a quartei hour is and where room 214 is, and you wish you could hide in a corner and think it out. But the corner is already occupied by some other freshman. You might as well relax and decide that you didn't want to major in English or Math anyway. Tsk, tsk! I still envy you because it's all new to you. For weeks to come you will be having new adventures. Your first lecture class will seem like a cinch until you realize all the notes you should have taken. Your gym course will make your vacation seem like work until the teacher tells you to write a term paper at the end of the quarter. Thrills like a nose-dive, you say? Yeah! But keep thatready-for-any-thing--we-can-take-it attitude and this first year of college will be the most fun-filled of your school years, and also the most learning-filled. Freshmen each year give a new zest to school life that the old battle-scarred sophs certainly could use. Best of luck, learning and laughing lo you from an enthusiastic student body vice proxy. Barbara Reeve Student body vice president ODE TO A WEBER POLITICIAN His campaign was a pleasant one And worthy, here, of note; He only kissed the babies who Were old enough to vote. SHE STOLE HIM A Utah radio announcer the other evening turned British when he said, "The Duke of Windsor today set foot on his native soil for the first time since his abduction." You'll Do Better Wth a Conn. The choice of Artists Sold Exclusively By Clen Pros. Music Co, A Little Pull As we start another school year, we think of what it holds tor you. The problems wmcn will baffle you, the dates of the Eohippus, which will elude you, are all a part of the fun you can have at Weber. But it is only partly these things that make Weber the school it is. We sophomores feel toward Weber as we know the freshmen will feel towards it later on. So, freshmen, we give you a hearty welcome and a little pull. We expect you to keep "Weber on top. Kay Storey Student body secretary School Paper and Magazine Will Use Many Students By FIRST-NIGHTER Thirty students can this year have major writing and executive training on the two featured publications of the student body -Signpost and Scribulus magazine iT was revealed Monday by the advisors. And during the year the work of dozens of others will appear at one time or another.Signpost alone can use at least twenty clear-thinking, hard-writing journalists. This opportunity is available because the paper has been enlarged to six columns and may appear weekly because of its value in publicizing and increasing school growth by professional writ-ups on athletics, dramatics, public speaking, debate, enrollment, instruction, administration, and student life. A weekly paper will give complete coverage on all events, freshen the news, and place Weber college on a basis with Utah's four-year schools journalistically. IT's OUR BELL (Continued from Page 1) gets around to tearing down the city hall. Weber's new crop of successful politicians, however, stand undaunted by the failure of others. Encouraged by Mr. Ora Bundy and city engineers, they optimistically predict a victory Bell for early football games. Barring, fire, flood, famine, or Nazi invasion, the Victory Bell will be riding around the Weber Campus on a go-cart before Mr. Monson assigns his first theme. Scribulus this year will be even better illustrated than last year. Student photography will be used to the extent that first-class photographs are produced. And because of the addition of Farrell Collett to the faculty, the art work produced by students will be superior and more varied, and more artists will be published. In writing, Scribulus accepts finished work in the fields of the short story, article, poetry, sketch, and familiar essay. Because of the quality of writing required, W. C. authors feel that they have been admitted to to an inner circle of craftsmen when they are published in this magazine. . . V Tr t-t E (Ortflrn ieo 1870 Utah Frills and Frillers Many activities lie dormant waiting for ambitious students to bring them to life. But these students must have talent and enthusiasm. Talent and enthusiasm seem to be natural to the men and women who had the interests of Weber at heart formerly. Under these former Weberites, Weber's enlistment grew from a company of two hundred to an army of approximately a thousand. They set a pace that only workers could keep. And so it has come to be understood that any one who engages in these activities does so with all his heart or not at all. However, there is a scholarship angle, too. And that's not fooling, either. Hear my message, all you frills and frillers, and be active in this progressive institution. Dan Curtis Student body treasurer WISHING YOU A SUCCESSFUL YEAR Cleaning- - Pressing - Repairing VERNON S.
