To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optomism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much; time to improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, to strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of any trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim the fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you. Christian D. Larson. ON THE ROAD TO FAME Slowly, but steadily, Weber College is treading the pathway of fame. Wednesday morning was and ever will be a memorable day for this institution. The splendid and timely topic so ably delivered by our Governor was a fitting and beautiful background for the rendition of our hymn "A-merica."This thrilling song found quick response in the heart of every student and not a few eyes were wet as the many voices sung' again this prayer of our patriotic forefathers.The highest type of patriotism and love of country is nurtured in Weber College. Again, Weber is proving her ability in other lines of endeavor. The football team has distinguished itself in numerous games this season, playing teams from larger and stronger institutions. The Glee clubs have won many friends thru their fine programs of song. A number of speakers have gone forth proclaiming the merits of Ogden's College and explaining to the people the need of higher education in this city. Weber's greatness lies in her ability to serve, for true education begets service. And if a college of senior rank is to be established here that college must serve the community. That is Weber's one desire therefore her future success is assured. TAKE THE HINT A bright suggestion on how to build up Weber was made in a certain devotional, on a certain day, by a certain speaker not being specific. But why have'nt some of you spirited Weberites taken the hint? Now it's this way. Everything great in this world has had to be built and many have been the means and schemes used in this building. For instance the tower of Babel was not made only of bricks; mortar was used. And those bricks were not wholely made of straw; mud was used. With a little organization the mud and straw became bricks and the bricks and mortar united to form a tower. This aptly illustrates the force and pow er oforganization. HERALD Now it was suggested that if we want to build a College we should organize a "Booster's Club" a club composed of only those who are really live, loyal boosters of Weber. Why have'nt we such a club? Have we no ambition? Have we no determination? 1 lave we no hopes in the future greatness of our Alma Mater? Have we lost our faith in Weber? Come to life. Wake up! Let's get going. You Bushmen revert back to type, become Boosters. You Niggers change your color, become Boosters. You Sooners delay no longer, become Boosters. You Arabs get out of the desert, become Boosters. You Mountain Men get your arms around your Alma Mater, become Boosters. The rest of you get normal and become boosters. We should present a united front every student pulling for a bigger and better Weber College. RECENT ADDITIONS TO COLLEGE LIBRARY Some of the Current Magazines needed by the students in their research work have been purchased by the library. They are: Forum, Current Opinion, American, Review of Reviews, Atlantic Monthly, World's Work, Journal of Home Economics, National Geographic Magazine, North American Review, Scientific Monthly, Scribner's Mag-zine, Journal of Political E-conomy, Journal of Accountancy, The English Journal, and the Relief Society Magazine.The school intends to supply the reference works needed in the various courses so that the students will not be compelled to leave the school during the periods of study. PRESIDENT TRACY CONTRIBUTES BOOKS Pres. Aaron W. Tracy a-gain proves himself to be a loyal supporter of Weber's activities. Just recently a campaign was commenced for increasing the size of the college library. Pres. Tracy immediately responded and contributed the following twenty two books:Ancient Apostles, What It Means To Be A Mormon, The Religion Worth Having, Religious Beliefs of Scientists, The Education Process, History of Education, Psychology of the Common Branches, History of Modern Elementary Education, Public School Administration, Elementary School Standards, How To Know the Book, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Effective Public Speaking, Creative Chemistry, Medicine in the Ag'e of Chemistry, The Future Independence and Progress of America, Discovery-The Spirit and Service of Science, The Life of Pasteur, The Riddle of the Rhine, Ivanhoe, Paradise Lost, and The Faerie Queene. In addition he contributed several others at the beginning of the school year. A large library will inevitably come if other alumni will manifest similar unbounded loyalty to Weber. Ralph F. "I like those religious girls." Bud Stewart. "What do you mean, religious?" Ralph. "The kind that can make you feel as if you were in heaven all the time you are near them." Claude 11. "What is the way of a man with a maid.'" Hensley C. "The maid's way." Stranger (to William Terry) "Where will this path take me, son?" William, "It'll take you to Doc's still, but it won't bring you back," SEMINARY NEWS The Weber Seminary has at the present time an enrollment of 225 students. Such a large attendance is very encouraging to the instructors and very gratifying to the church authorities. Those in charge of the work are pleased with the attitude, that the people are taking in sending their boys and girls to the Seminary but they are of the opinion that with a little more effort the enrollment could be doubled. Plans are now being' made for an Enlistment Week, when the students will make a drive for the increasing' of the enrollment. They hope to increase their number to 400. There is no reason why there is not this number of students receiving daily religious training, at this institution. On account of the number of teachers available, being limited and the classes being few, some students of the high schools are deprived of the privilege of taking the courses in Theology. But in the near future Principal Taylor expects to announce the organization of four more classes, thereby making' it possible for those, who are now unable to attend, to register and take advantage of this religious training. TUITION FREE One of the pleasing features of the Seminary which is attracting many students is that there are no charges for entrance. The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been striving for a long time to furnish religious education without charg'e to those boys and g'irls whose parents have not the necessary financial means. But they are not alone in their desire to furnish religious and moral training. Many other churches are trying to obtain religious education for the boys and girls in the graded schools, and in the high schools. They believe a knowledge of religion plays an important part in one's education. Educators of prominence are recognizing, as never before, the necessity of supplementing the secular work of the public schools, by a daily lesson in religious and moral education. This necessity is met by our church in the establishment of Seminaries and Religion Classes. We are very fortunate in having one of these Seminaries at our very doors. The boys and girls who are now taking Seminary work are thoroughly interested in it and enthusiastic in what they are receiving". The discussions which they enter into and the talks which they give to their fellow classmates prove that they will be the men and women who will assume in the future the responsible positions in the church and in the community.It is the hope of the Seminary authorities that the people of Ogden, regardless of their religious affiliations, will rapidly awaken, to the value and importance of religious education in the lives of the boys and girls. They should thoroug'hly realize that a study of the Bible, produces a reverential respect for God and a keener love for their fellow men. PRES. TANNER VISITS SEMINARY Nathan J. Tannei of the Weber Stake Presidency and a member of the Seminary Board was a visitor at one of the missionary meetings last week. He was well pleased with the work of the students. He likened the Seminary to the ancient school of the prophets, it being a place where students are taught how to teach the Gospel to those who have not received it. The students greatly enjoyed Pres. Tanner's visit and join with the instructors in extending to all an invitation to visit the Seminary classes. SOAPSUDS When Cupid hits a woman's heart he Mrs. it. For throe days in succession Yern Wilkinson came into classes early. On the third morning Prof. Blaylock looking' up said: "Well, Yern, what makes you come so early of late? You used to be behind before, but now you're first at last." Romancing in Songland We've all Been Thru it "Barney" "One Night in June" "Barney Google" met a "Wonderful Child" "In The Land of Sweet Sixteen" and because she said "I Love Me" he called her "Foolish Child". But he asked to call "To-morrow" and she said "What's You're Hurry". He said "I Ain't had Nobody Crazy Over Me" and just "Supposing" you start "Runnin Wild" over me. Someone saw them "Holding Hands" and he was looking into her "Oriental Eyes" and murmuring "W o n d e r f u 1 You" "I'd Love to Have Ya" "You've Got to See" "Wonderful One" "It It Wasn't For You" "Jennie" I'd go with "Shufflin Mose." Now you can't say "Nothin But" yes. Then she said oh "Jimbo Jambo" "Don't be too sure" cause I don't care any more for you than the "Man in the Moon" so "Trot Along" and leave me with my "Lovin Sam" "Just for To-night." But if I find myself "Crying For You" or even "-Falling" for you I'll come "In a Caravan" then you can "Tell Me a Story" like this, "When I'm Alone with you." "You Know You Belong" to me, he said, "When will I Know"? and won't you "Kiss Me" "Sweet One?" She said "Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean" are in the "Georgia Cabin Door" with my "Aggravatin' Papa" and fthey'll see, but "Umpah Urn- pah I don t care about them, so "My Sugarman" "Keep it under Your Hat" and tonight "My Pillow and Me" will decide.He left her saying "It's a Wonderful World and I'll just wait "Until my Luck Comes Rolling Along". But then he went sowing "Wild Oats" and met "That Red Head Gal" and when he thought of his "Sweet Dixie Lady" he said "Do I-Do I Love Her". Floating down "Starlight Bay" with this "Rose of Brazil" who is "Just Like a Doll" makes me wonder if I want to -"Come -back -to-Mississippi" and so he led a high, life "On the Great White Way" with "Laurette" who would dance "Snake Hips" and the "Coralito Tango" because she said "He Loves It." But "Sunny Jim" from "Old Madrid" or "Asia Minor" was seeing her "Every Wednesday Night" and talking about "Honeymoon Chimes" and "Twilight On the Nile" till at last she told poor "Barney Google" "I'm Thru." It was "Some Lonesome Night" for him so he started for "Carolina in the Morning" "Just a Little Blue" with the "Old Plantation Blues" to tell his troubles to his "Carolina Mammy." He went down the "Saw Mill River Road" and came to his "Journey's End" just in time to see the "Parade of Wooden Soldiers" and mammy singing a "Lullaby" under the "Red Moon." He saw his "Jennie" "Down by the Old Apple Tree" a-mong the "April Blossoms" talking to "Billie" about "If Winter Comes." Someone told him "She's Got Another Daddy" now, in fact "Seven or Eleven" and poor Barney sure had the "Lowdown Blues" and thought it "Black Cat Luck." When at last he spoke to her she would'nt say a word. He asked, "Oh is She Dumb," but she was only "Mad." At last she said, "You've been gone a long time, you "Little Rover" "Am I to Blame." I know though that it was "Nearing the Day" for you to "Come on Home." He said, "Dearest" don't forget those "Faded Love Letters" "Honey Dats All" I ask. She said "Give me One Day" and the next night at the ball when they were playing "That Dada Strain" she said "Somehow I Can't Forget." But did you ever "Think of me" and he told her, "Always" you and my "Home, My Loving Dixie 1 lome." Then just at "Midnight" they went strolling down "Memory Isle" and everything was all right for she said "Open Your Arms." They were still there at "3 O'clock in the Morning" and Fruits of Sociology FAMILY BUDGET REQUIRED OF BOYS What Say You To These Schedules of Expenditures Fair Coeds? Sociology proved itself to be more valuable to the students than just five credit hours when Prof. Winsor re quired each boy to bring a family budget to class. This budget was supposed to be a product of deep thought and study and not merely the result of usual guess work. Believing that the average wage in Ogden would fluctuate from $1,500 to $1,800 the boys based their statements upon these amounts. This brought forth unfavorable comment from the class coeds. "How in the world is a woman going to have a good time on that meagre salary," "My husband don't need to expect to keep the expenses under that stingy trifle," "Why a woman can only have two dresses a year under those wages," such were the words of disgust uttered by members of the weaker sex. The standard of living is so high, the cost of living' is so much that the girl of modern day is not willing" to submit to a' salary which our grandparents would have considered sufficient. She will not promise to love, honor and obey with only the hope of $1,500 in return. However the boys are to be complimented for their able defense of the budgets. Many were the plans suggested to save a nickel here and a quarter there in order to keep within the limit. We submit two of the budgets which have the thumb marks of much careful thot. We withold the names of the composers as both are handsome young men. If any girl wishes to learn more about them she may address the Herald office.

The first one is Millinery. In this class the girls will study the shapes of the different hats and why certain forms are not suitable for certain types of people. Their practical work will be in the constructing" different shapes of hats, and designing and trimming them. The second course will be that of Elementary Dressmaking. It will be given especially for for the benefit of those who have not had instruction a-long that line in the high school. Besides the drafting of patterns and the making of dresses, this course will include a study of textiles, how they are woven and their value by tests. Professor Osmond states that the course of Advanced Dressmaking and Handwork, now being conducted, will be continued next quarter. It will consist of model ing.cre-ative designing", free-hand cutting, and constructing of household furnishings. Junius: "Well, I've seen a lot of rough games, but the roughest I ever participated in was a lively game of chess." she said "Morning will Come" you'd better take me to my "Carolina Home." When they got there thev both had the "4 O'clock Blues." From then on everything went as smooth as "Romany Love" and at last the "Chimes" were heard and there was some "Jazz In the Chimes" when they were wed. And now you'll find them iv a corner of the world telling "Love Tales." And "Fate" is responsible for it all. B. E. H. S. SCHOOL PLAY The school play, "Country Mary," has finally been cast. Because of the large tryouts it was difficult for the judges to make the selection. Now under the direction of Miss Caldwell the cast is complet ed. They expect to have the play ready for presentation in about four weeks. ANONIAN CLUB The active members of the Aonian Club are busy selecting new members. The girls have held several interesting' meetings and a number of parties for their pledges. As soon as the new members have been selected and initiated before the student body, they will begin a study of standard authors of Liter-, ature. Miss Bcnnion is the club advisor and is making the club a real asset to Box-Elder. AG CLUB HOP The "School Farmers" arc to be complimented on their successful "Ag Club Hop." The decorations were beautiful and the whole affair showed artistic ability plus some real hard work. Everyone seemed to have a splendid time and we will all a-wait eagerly for the next "Ag Club" blowout. DEBATING Have you noticed the ever watchful eyes of Messrs. Spencer and Mahoney? No, they're not special detectives, or prohibition agents. They are after energetic thinkers who will work hard to uphold the high standards that Box Elder has maintained in debating. Several of the old standbys are back. They'll be valuable again, but we need more new material and lots of it. So every thinker out for debating.

Relia's Aunt, thinking they were cold, took out a hot water bottle. What's the matter with Terry? David K. (In drug store) "I want some consecrated lye."- Drug-gist, You mean concentrated lye." David "It does notmeg any difference. Thats' what I camphor.' What does it sulphur?" Druggist, "Fifteen scents. I never cinnamon with so much wit." David, "Well I should myrrh, myrrh! Yet I ammoni-a novice at it." Kathryne C. "Have you ever read 'To a Field Mouse?" Florence W. "No how do you get'em to listen." Jerry, "Is'nt there just a chance of us being anything to each other?" Ruth, "Ves-er, strang-ers!" Bill M. "Close, isn't it?" Erma V. "You call this clo-- - er, that is it's stifling." One night at a dance, Chas. Hussey was introduced to a girl. He did .not quite understand her name so asked her what it was. "Miss Unowe," was the re-ply."Miss who?" he asked. "Miss Unowe." "Pardon me but you'll have to speak a little louder," he explained, "You know the music is so loud ." "Miss Unowe," came the reply in an unmistakable tone of voice. "I guess I'll have to give it up," sighed Charles as he walked away, "She thinks I know her and this is the first time I have ever seen the dame." A Business Hint! The late J. P. Morgan once declared that he attached more importance to character than he did to collateral when granting loans. Ogden State Bank A. P. Bigelow, President WISHART BREAD M. I. A. INSTITUTE: The Mutual Improvement Associations of the four stakes of Weber County are conducting a Recreational Institute in the Weber College. Several courses are being given to instruct the members of the recreational committees in social dancing, special programs, dramatics, and other recreational activities.Weber College is represented by several of its students. They attend the social dancing division, for the purpose of learning and understanding the benefits of proper dancing. Their object is to then help the other students of the college to realize the necessity of higher standards of dancing. The first class was held on Thursday November 15, Wesley Hammond, an instructor at the Deseret Gym, gave a talk about "Social Dancing and Dance Directions." He traced the history of dancing from the early days when there were only square dances, with violin and organ music, to the present time of walking to jazz music. He explained that as other things have advanced, dancing and dance music have gradually degenerated. "In order to solve the problems of social dancing of today," he said, "there should be proper management of all dancing parties." Several instances in public dance halls of Salt Lake City showed that through proper management the social dancing could be controlled. It is for the purpose of training people to manag-e the ward dances, and thus raise the standards of dancing in our church, that the class has been organized in Og'den. Mr. Hammond suggested that high standards be maintained in all the wards and public halls. "This will work it has worked" was his testimony. Saturday evening, Nov. 17, Miss Emily Brenson, also a teacher in the Deseret Gym, took up demonstration work. She taught some'' of the fundamental steps in good dancing also the first step of a fox trot. She strongly emphasized the need of better dancing among the young people of today. She told of an incident at the Deseret Gym. At a dance one student asked another if the piece being played was a fox trot or a waltz. They decided it was a waltz and began to dance. The fact was they danced a fox-trot to the music of a one-step and thought it was a waltz. Del ton Bramwell: (grabbing Elizabeth's wrist) "Gimme." Elizabeth S. "What d'ye want." Delton: "Don't get excited, 1 only want the time." Elizabeth: "Don't you worry, that's all you'll get." We earnestly suggest to Mr. Manning that he take charge of the Athletic Boys Quartet. These boys have good hearts, (so we have heard, though we have never heard of them using samel but their voices are slightly, ever so slightly, in need ofa little voice cultur.e in addition to the general culture which they are obtaining in an extensive course from Mr. Barker.
