FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 FOUR PAGES HIGH MEETS OGDEN; School Play Promises To Be Prettiest In History AFTER LONG PERIOD OF PREPARATION SCHOOL PLAY IS NOW READY TO BE PRESENTED We are all expecting a treat. The mere fact that "Merely Mary Ann" is a product of the pen of Israel Zangwill, recommends it to us. Little additional comment is necessary to establish its claim to a position in the first rank. We find here a combination of brilliant comedy and extreme pathos. The appeal is universal; the author has the ability to reach the heart-strings of each of us.

Tracy gave a very interesting talk. He based his speech on two subjects, a daily schedule for boys, and the relation of the boys to the Weber girls in regard to social affairs. "If you will select live or six things," he said, "and do them regularly every day for three or four years, you cannot help but come out on top. It has been proven in many cases that boys who were under-developed mentally through lack of educational opportunities, having applied this theory, have advanced very rapidly. "First, get up at a regular time every morning. Train your mind so that you do not need an alarm clock ; you can do it in a very short time. "Second, kneel down and pray, before leaving your room. It will help vou go through the day. Not only does your church believe in morning prayers, but some of the leading men of the country do also. "Third, if it is possible, take a bath before breakfast. At least wash your neck, especially behind vour ears. You may laugh at that, but it applies to Weber students as well as others. Then, when vou are old enough, shave every morning. A bristling growth of whiskers is an abominable sight "ii high self ml students."Fourth, go through a regular program of classes and study throughout the day.

This is your play. The cast has done its part in spending long, hard hours at rehearsal ; the rest of it is up to you. How many tickets have you sold? have proved that by studying a certain subject at a certain hour every day, a better knowledge of the subject is obtained. Study English at one time, history at another, and mathematics at another. "Fifth, have a regular evening program as far as possible. Of course, this will vary considerably. Once a week is often enough to go to shows and dances. "Sixth, have a certain time at which you retire. This will insure the same amount of sleep every night." By reading the biolograpby of men such as Wilson, Franklin, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, we can gain some idea of the importance this system had in molding their careers. The sooner students acquire this habit of regularity, the sooner are they assured of success. Bro. Tracy then spoke on his second point, the relation between Weber boys and the girls of the school, lie exhorted the bovs to cease "stagging" to parties and dances. "It is your duty to see that the girls get to these affairs, and get home again. Don't be so stingy in spirit or bashful, (and bashful-ness shows a yellow streak) that vou cannot mingle with them as their escorts. It is getting now so that college girls have been forced to go out with other fellows who are not of our school, simply because the college fellows will not take them. You do not have to fall in love with them : go with the idea of being a (Continued on l'ae 4) INTERESTING SCENE FROM ''MERELY MARY ANN" ; MM $ i COLLEGE DEBATORS CHOSEN The six debaters to represent Weber in the inter-collegiate debates this year were chosen Tuesday. Four of these debators, Junius Tribe, Hugh Moyes, Edwin Nelson, and Raymond Poulter will represent the school in the northern church school triangle, Tribe and Moyes taking the affirmative side of the question, Nelson and Poulter the negative. The other two debators, Florence Browning and Willard Marriott, will debate the B. A. C. Final arrangements as to question and choice of side have not as yet been made. Debating prospects look very bright for Weber College this year. The debators already have one draft of their speeches prepared and they are developing them into first-class speeches. According to an announcement by Professor Wilkinson, the college debates will be held the first of March. BUSINESS MEN SUGGEST COLLEGE COURSES In reply to letters sent by President Tracy to different corporations in Ogden, regarding the curriculum for next year's college courses, some very favorable responses have been received. The letters show the interest which is being taken by Ogden's business men in the college. "Naturally there will be a growing need of men and women for office work and in addition, to help to take care of the business end in our own industries, we need trained men to round out the organization of the production end," writes the Utah Packing Corporation. The letter continues. "Your College is deserving of the support of everyone in this community, it is much better if the industries here can get their trained men from our home town, rather than being obliged to bring them in from other parts of the country. If we can be of further service to you. please advise." (Continued on Pae 2) COLLEGE LOSES TO v it , WEBER DEFEATED BY BOX ELDER Friday, Jan. 26, the Box Elder five from Brigham defeated Weber in a fast game by ten points. The score was 34 to 24. The game was played in the Weber auditorium and was attended by a large crowd. By winning the game from Weber the Box Elder team jumped into first place in the division, leaving Weber second. The team work of the Brigh-amites was commendable. The work of Boothe, Burt and Elia-son was mainly responsible for the victory. For Weber Couch shined. While Weber was playing under difficulties she put up a good fight and the Box Elder team had their hands full in defeating them. Budge was suffering from tree-itis, which made it impossible for him to play his usual game. Anderson tried to out class Job in the boil line; partly succeeding. Due to the upmire's nonappearance the game was played with one official. This lack of an umpire made the game a little rough. MRS. LLOYD SPEAKS TO GIRLS Mrs. Lloyd, matron of Weber last year, spoke to the girls en masse at the assembly held Wednesday Jan. 31. The sincerity of her address was very effective. "Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven, and all else will be added," was the keynote of her speech. She told how every one might add vast treasures to his birthright. "Don't sell vour birthright for a mess of pottage as did Esau," was the splendid advice she gave. Each should strive for a pure spirit; that in itself would be ample recompense. Monk went around the study hall trying to find out wdiat a perigon was. Nobody seemed to know. Finally Frank Douglas answered, "When you and "Mighty" were kicked out of school that was a 'pair-gone'." High School Debates To Be Held In March At a recent meeting of the debating club the subject for high school debate this year was given out. It is : "Resolved, that Utah should establish a state constabulary." The choice of such a subject grows out of the great criminal problem which has confronted the country ever since the end of the war. Due to the tardiness of the University of Utah in deciding upon the subject, it is necessary that the work of preparation be accomplished in a very short time. The inter-high school debates will be held about the middle of March, which allows only about six weeks for the class debates, school tryouts and the final rounding off of the teams. According to Professor Wilkinson, debating coach, the jclass. fliaJLPjvilLJakfi--alarf'..uf xl Thursday, March 15, and the school tryouts Friday, 16th. Weber will be handicapped through the loss of all of her debaters of last year. We have no experienced men to rely on this year. However, that is no cause for discouragement. There is an abundance of good material with which to develop some first-class teams. Those students who have attended the meetings of the prospective debators have learned some valuable points. It is estimated that about twenty-five will try out, and out of these probably six will probably be chosen to represent the school. It is not known yet whether a church league will be formed this year. The fact that B. Y. C. has no high school at all this year makes it probable that there will be no church triangle. However, Weber and L. D. S. may engage in a dual debate, and in that case another team may be chosen. The high school triangle will be composed of Box Elder, Ogden High and Weber as in the past. PRESIDENT TRACY IN CONFERENCE WITH COLLEGE PRESIDENTS President Tracy met with the presidents of the different church schools two weeks ago to arrange a curriculum for the church Junior Colleges. Those at the conference were, Pres. W. W.-Henderson of the B. Y. C, Pres. Romney, Ricks Normal; Pres. Guy Wilson of the L. D. S. U. ; Dr. Harris, President of the B. Y. U. ; Pres. Wayne Hales from Snow Normal College and Pres. Jensen of Dixie Normal. They arranged the following curriculum for the junior colleges. The curriculum offers courses in nine departments: English. Language, Literature, Modern Languages and Literature, Music, Mathematics, History, Commerce, and Science. The following subjects will be offered in the scientific department: Home Economics. Biology and Agriculture, rhvsieal Science and Social Science. WEDHKS Weber to Meet Ti In Second Game Of Season COLLEGE TEAMS ENGAGE IN SLOW CONTEST; SAINTS MAINTAIN LEAD THROUGHOUT GAME Yesterday afternoon on the Deseret gymnasium floor the L. D. S. U. junior college team de-feater the Weber junior college five by the score of 29 to 12. The game was a slow affair, and the two church teams showed only occasional flashes of speed. The Saints made the first score when B. Woods counted a foul pitch. The Saints held the lead throughout the entire contest, and the first half ended with the score standing at 9 to 7. For the Weberites, Halverson and Wilkinson showed up to the best advantage. For the L. D. S. 11-;.-;.- -.ii.! .cr :u i.c-i JUI.1U1 11. I, llllkll tlMU JUI- omon did the best work.

Weber boys seem bound for the lower regions, considering the dates offered for the valentine frolic. (Intended sarcasm). Never in all Weber's history have the boys been so congenial. They must attend at all costs. The party is to be held in room 12 which will be decorated profusely in hearts, hearts, hearts and more hearts. We're sure they'll satisfy. We're having a real "orchestra" and punch and everything. Strictly invitational. Every college man is to be in evidence and is asked to show-up in his best that night of all nights. The college girls' association is this year establishing a tradition that is to be carried down through the coming years an annual dance that will be looked forward to with eager anticipation and will be considered the one big event of the year fostered by the College Girls' Association. There is one good thing about yell practice; the girls can say all they want to and nobody will stop them. The advertisers support us: vou support them. L. D. S. gers One of the most hotly contested games of the season was played when Weber met the Tigers in the initial game of the season, Weber winning by a three-point margin. Judging from the past games of the two schools, the game Friday should be one of the best in the history of the two schools. The Weber men have been working hard for the game, as it is one of the deciding games of the league. The team losing this game will be practically out of the running for the division honors.

They are banking on such men as Smith, Cox and Lyons to gain them a victory so as to use the wreath purchased for the-opening game. With Budge back into condition Weber will be helped materially. Anderson has no pet boils at present. Peter is in good condition and Monk has recovered from his "spills" at Davis. Price is feeling fine, so with these men all in good condition the Tigers will have more than their hands full. The game will be played in the Weber auditorium Friday at 7:30 p. m. WEBER CAGERS DEFEAT DAVIS Weber high team journeyed to Davis and romped home with a victory. The game was played on a slick floor which tended to slow it up. The score was 29 to 21 for Weber. Both teams displayed a flashy brand of ball. It was the fighting spirit of Weber that gained the victory. "Spills" by Monk was one of the features of the game. He fell down something like 38 times. Other players also found themselves setting down time and again on account of such a slick floor. Price and Halliday at guards, played a good defensive game for Weber. Anderson as center also played a good game, making seven field goals. Linford carried the heft of the game for Davis. If you hear James warbling "Kiss me good-night, Dear Love," do not conclude that he is, (as Larry says in the play) "dead nuts." lie is simply practicing for "Merely Mary Ann." You should hear him sing the entire song, and Harry Jones whistle it, and Olin play it, and Josephine "hum it." and May and Rigby "duet it," and the organ-grinder grind it. One concludes that half the world wishes to be kissed good-night. |
