A COMEDY OF ERRORS. TIhj Hlinlenls of Weber, w ho are ac-'iiHtnmM to r.ijhiif tlifir lunches at srliool, liave the bad habit of throwing 1 lie i--f t-uvt't'H a ii d wrappersbe-it-'nKins to their Imx'hoH around in various unnpproprtatf pku-cH. Tim two main "haunts" or place- wlieru the .stmlculs go to partake of their eru.stu and tvucdp'd pit; are the bane n lent room next to the furnace and the went radiator on the main floor. These plat es appear quite clean before the action begins, but after the appearance has greatly changed. Papery, crusts and fruit peelingn are seen in the cornei-.s and if the ob server would stoop ami look under the radiator and behind desks, the sight would be overwhelming. Hut thanks to some of the mora courteous students I hey take pains to stuff the debris under something instead of throwing it anywhere. W hen (lie janitor cornea a series of oaths are heardT The janitor proceeds to clean out this mess. The janitor works fast, cursing the students who caused all tills work. Poor janitor! Students, stop this "comedy of errors." If you must eat your lunches, t ry to keep your surroundings clean, for the sake of the janitor and the sanity of our school. -oo- ORIENTAL PERVERSITIES! A goodly number of our most highly esteemed Senior damsels have adopted the harum-scarum fad or fashion of hair ribbons intermingling with the Maraeilled waves. UNMIDICATED ASSI N IN 1TI ES ! And behold, the boys could not be banked by such scandalous proceedings. Therefore, a few bright -lights among the superior (?) sex sailed out with large, vastly fascinating (?) bow ties for neck decorations. LAMENT! What are the common people ever coming to? NOISE. With few exceptions the Weberites set good examples at the recentWeber-High game, especially iii the yelling. When the High school rooters yelled, they were little interfered with outside of an occasional "Razz-berry." But when the home rooters tried it they could hardly keep together anil be heard above the din created intentionally by the other side. The yelling before the games should be more of a comparison of the yells, with that during the games only as a lest in noise making. MAKING THAT GYM A REALITY. Ogden spends $2,000,000 a year for the repairing of unhealthy bodies, due to the lack of a gymnasium. Only about $300,000 more is needed to erect this long talked-of gym. Why not put this $2,000,000, for one year, in the gymnasium fund and save each times that a tue.ory is worthless unless expedient in actual practice; therefore our theory of creating the better teaching of Engiin.h will not ring true unless we practice the correct use of the language. if we could realize the splendid training we could derive from the proper application oT our English through the curriculum we would, undoubtedly become more proficient us-rs of the language. A certain prominent linguist in one of our college has said, "We have the richest language that a people has accredited to it and we use it as if it were the poorest. "We hoard up our infinite wealth of words between the boards of the dictionary and In speech dole out the worn, bronze coinage of our vocabu lary. "We are the ufiers of the philological history. "When we can save our pennies and pass the counterfeit coin of slang we are as happy as if we heard a blind beggar say, 'Thank you,' for our put ting a lead quarter into his cup." OPTIMISM. Optimism is a quality which we stir dents should cultivate. It is a some thing which is an absolute necessity in school life. "Man Is that he may have joy." For get your troubles and be gay. H your English lesson refuses to prepare it self, put on a smile and a bit of in ward determination and prepare it yourself. If your car is late, be glad that you have an excuse lor being late for your first clatts. After you begin feeling very, very optimistic the next thing to do is to assist that grouch. If your teacher wears a frown make him forget it. "Smile, and the world smiles with you; cry, and you cry alone." . . oo J LOOK WHAT WE N 1"'KU! A CAFKTKIUA! Why let our faculty help pay the Ogden high school's expenses? If Weber had a cafeteria that was run strictly on a business basis and had a reasonable ff,e charge for lunches it would not be necessary for our faculty members to go elsewhere for their lunches. It is not only the high school that gets Weber's trade, bipt also a shop located on Twenty-fourth street and JefTerson. It is continually taking In money from Weber's students which might be kept here at school. A cafeteria would not only keep money In our school, but would encourage the domestic science students along their line. It would put money in our student association treasury, helping to build up our school financially and would be more convenient for those who wish to buy their lunches. LITER SENIOR REPORT We seniors again came out on top when members of our debating squad walked off with the bacon in both class debates. The subject under dis cussion was, Kesolveu, l hat the l tan .State Legislature Should Make Further Appropriations to Be Tsed by a Commission for the Building of Good Koads." Leonard Wright and Jeff Ballif upheld the negative against the sophs, receiving two out of the three votes. Robert Wilkinson and Klliot Heninger had the affirmative against the junior debaters. This debate was unanimous for the seniors. This is only one of a series of intellectual contests of the season and we are hopeful trat this class will succeed in many victories in the remaining contests. ,B oo SOPHOMORE REVIEW On looking back at our work we do not wonder that the other classes call us the liveliest class In school. Here is a brief summary of what we liave tihne this year. We have given the financially successful dance of the year. We have instituted the check stand at Weber which has proved a protection and a financial success. Wo have given tne only pop corn and hot dog sale of the year. Our program in devotional was tie snappiest given this year. This is but the social side of the class. Our basketball team compos- y ear a t'i er that at t he least t h reo fourths of the' amount spent on doctor i ed of Orin Ferrln. Leslie Chamber- bills. Ogden is far too large a city to be without a gymnasium, and it falls to the students of "Weber to boost this proposition. For many years the people of Ogden and especially the students ot Weber, have been planning and dreaming of this gymnasium, but we find this does no good toward the constructing: of it. It takes work, money and enthusiasm to build this gym. If we do our part -it we show every one of our friends that this is a lain. Brown Foulger. Art hur Rhee and Ruben Rhees. under the direction of our athletic manager, Ted Woods, have won all but one or two games this season. 'Red" Wade, one of the strong men of this year's squad, is a sophomore. Bill Price, another sophomore, has secured a place on the commercial team. The Pleasant View team, composed of four sophomores, gave the commercials the hardest game of the season recently. Our debating, under Miss Faith Folk ma n is progressing rupidly, and we fully expect to "cop" the cham-pio nship. In the Barker contests we di?p!a necessitv and ask them to do their j ed exceptional ability, although our part, we can rest assured that the ; boin a new cl Weber Proved gymnasium will become a reality rath cr than a dream. oo Yelling has been one of our strong points, due very largely to our splendid yell master. Everet Brown. Yelling was a big factor in our winning second place in the Founders' day parade. The display of class colors BETTER ENGLISH. There has been established at We ber the highest standard of English; produced by the girls, under the aus-courses. We now stand near the head f pices of the vice-president.

MY HOME TOWN' IS A ON E-HOK.SE TOW X. i Most every one h:iH a home town, i Those who have a homo town pos-'t a strange love for that town j whether ir he a good town, a bad : town, or even a "one-horse" town. I : love my home town, first, because it I is my home town and. second, because i it is a one-horse town. You may 'wonder why a one-horse town appeals so much to me. and if it happens that ' you do, I shall be very lad to give I you any additional in formation if so I be it that you don't get enough from ! this tale. My home town lies in the valley of Lhe Great Salt Lake, in the Rocky mountains, where everything would be quiet and agreeable but for the presence of another town large enough to be called a city which is ever sending forth shrill whistles and numerous other horrid noises that are not pleusing to the ear. This menace of having a very near neighbor will always be present and the only possible way to get rid of it is to outgrow the large town and then becomo a menace to it. That, of course, would make no difference to us because we are rather selfish at times. I am talking of impossibilltiy now but nevertheless we would be in our seventh heaven of delight if we could get ahead of any one else, no matter by what means we got there. Well, there are only about five hundred of us living on a piece of land about one and a half miles broad by two miles long and our chance to grow is limited, Indeed. The streets, which aro paved with gravel, clay, or mud (when it rains) are few and far between. Some of them are only one-half milq apart; others are a mile. There is not a straight street in this town, and I am of the opinion that no one in the, village has ever noticed this fact before. Boulevards have, never been heard of as yet, because no one has ever been far enough from home to see such a thing. In spite of the fact that grass is usually a rare luxury, some of the worthy inhabitants have planted a lawn in their front yards more to serve as a pasture for the sheep than for beautifying the premises. The houses are of no particular style but have been designed by the individual settlers themselves. The ones which have a lawn in front are generally the largest because a lawn is usually a sign of prosperity. They are built of logs, rough boards or mud bricks with here and there a misfit built of all of these materials combined. Some of the very poorest live in dugouts or very small mud brick houses. On the other hand, the so-called middle class live in houses which are neither large nor small but which exactly fit the pocketboolt of the owner. You may wonder what kind of people live In such a place as this appears to be. Well, I can hardly tell, myself. Some of them are from one country arid some from another; some are- large and some are small; some are good and some are; bad. Every one will cheat his neighbor if he gets a chance and think nothing of it. They have various customs. Some of the farmers plant their crops when they see certain changes in the sun or moon whether it be the right time of the year or not. Then if the crops fail they blame it to the Almighty. They seldom ' do any thinking for themselves along any line. They al low the moon to rule the planting of their crops and likewise they allow the ministers of the various religions rule their hope of salvation. There is no effort put forth to gain any end by the majority of the people because they are satisfied with their present surroundings and do not care to pro gress. As I have said, these people come from many different countries far away from this new world and consequently they speak different languages. One might go into a house of English people and talk freely with them; he might step over the fence and be In Holland; he might walk around the corner and be in Italy; or he might go to another part of town and be in Africa. The one nationality which he would no doubt meet and which could not carry' on any kind of a broken conversation with him would be the Japanese. When these funny little folk leave their native land they often forget their ambiguous mother tongue and also fail to ma-ster the new language. Consequently they have a queer lingo which can be understood neither by ah Englishman or a Jap. On the whole, a stranger from a large city of well educated people would be a total loss with all his education if he should happen to stop in my home town. We have no set time to go to bed or to work, but just go when we feel like it. Some work from 4 n. m. until 10 p. m., some from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m. and some others seldom work at all. But, in spite of all this, we all eat when we are hungry and drink when we are dry. We sleep when we cannot keep awake, and the cow calling for her calf is our only alarm clock. Many people would never cease complaining of a life like this, but as for me. I would not give it up for any other in the world. Every one is wealthy in the broadest sense of-the word. I do not speak from the point of view of money, for we have little to do with the filthy lucre, but from the point of view of health and good sense. There is not a sickly person among us because we live in the great outdoors most of the time and nature takes good care of us. Although I have said before that most of us are lacking in troughtful-ness for progression or any other big things, I say now that good common horse sense is one of our outstanding traits. We know when to go in out of the rain and how to keep our bodies in the beKt condition possible. This Is a trait not found in larger communities and very often not present in towns like our own, nevertheless we are wise In these things and that is as far as our Interest goes. Beynnd these few simple laws of health there is no other law. We can do as we please without molestation. Of course there is none among us who would commit a murder, and if there 1 were he would soon be ousted by the ; peace-loving population. But speak-1 ing of the minor offenses, I will pay that we have a half-breed sheriff who j gambles at the village store with the j other men and who would nnt arrest; anyone because everyone i his friend, Tbero is no other city officer and we' ! have no cno to please l ut ourscives. i There is no possible chance for my home town to become great as far as i I can see, even if it were to live for !a ml'. ion years. As you will remem-j ber. the dimensions are small, and the ! people are satisfied wit ri what they ! now enjoy. It is true they have an ! old fashioned school house, but the ' thought of any further education than this has never entered the mind of any I one. I nm satisfied with things at they are and care not what they i might be. I am content to live and ! associate with the people I love. The I crooked streets, the queer designs of the different houses, the customs and ! nationalities of the people, the previ- lege we have of being our own master and having no specific rules of conduct to follow-all go to make me love my home town. If we had fire departments, police forces, large stores and everything that a large city has. we would be as if in a prison. We would not be happy and care-free as we are under our present circumstances. On the whole, it is my candid opinion that there is not a class of people in the world who live as happy a life as we who follow our beliefs unhampered by men who are continually trying tc change things from bad to worse by their new thoughts. Well, so much for my tale. People may laugh at me and say, "here comes a farmer" or ''there goes a man from the country," but I will proudly hold up my head and say to all the world that they may have their fun at my expense if they wiph, but after all I was born under a lucky star for "my home town is a one-horse town" and no one on the face of the globe can boast of more happiness and freedom than lies hidden In those words. EUGENIC HOLMES. Hl'SBANDS. Husbands are a convenience, a necessity, a privilege, a nuisance and a bank account tto the extent of being a security). There are three kinds of husbands: The faithless, the faithful and the henpecked. The faithless are a nuisance, the faithful a privilege and the henpecked a convenience. The faithless type cares for only one girl before marriage and for all others afterwards. This type claims about half the male population when avowed bachelors or young boys are excluded. These husbands would delight living in Reno. Another type which claims about one-fourth of the men Is the henpecked. . In Jiggs we have this type portrayed to perfection. And Maggie is a wife of the kind that is, unfortunately, usually found in the association of the type. Last but not -least (in quality) are the faithful the devoted husbands who love their wives and are loved in return. But these are few and far between. In the homes of these husbands we find also a true, devoted wife. Here the rights of one another are respected, for everything is governed by love. These husbands have decided that their children have come to live with them and not they4o live with their children. Of course, they have their "ups and downs," but then all husbands do. Nevertheless, in these homes "ups and downs" are not of frequent occurrence. Many marriages come about (or happen, as most of them do) on iriere infatuation, not on true love. Many of the marriages are hasty, in which the couples "just couldn't wait" to have it done properly and so elope to save time. These are the marriages that give to us the faithless and henpecked husbands. Then off we rush to a divorce court, our pictures appear on the front columns of a newspaper, our family skeleton is uncovered and we have a horrible notoriety coming on us all at once. That is, in case we happen to be "flushed" with coin. Taking it all in all, marriage is a lottery where we may or may not draw a lucky number one who is as he was before marriage, neither faithless nor henpecked; one jvill be able to stand the rest of our days, thinking of him the same as we did before we took the chance. BETTY E. DAY". oo THE PLACE WHERE I'M LOXGIXG TO BE Out where there's a fragrance of springtime, Out where there's a buzz of the bee, Out where the bird's song's the blithest. Is the place that holds charm for me. Out where the brook babbles' lightly, Where the bluebird sings just for me, Out where the cares are lightest, Is the place where I' longing to be Out where the glories of morning Enliven the heart with glee Out where the sunshine at noontide. Shines down on all nature for me. Out where at evening's silent hush, The shadows softly fall Out where the vespers at evening Are heard in the nightingale's call. Out where the heartstrings of human hearts Are tuned to the joy of living Out where the happiness supreme Is found in the joy of living. Out where our Giver is Ruler of all Where the heart beats steady and free Out, out to God's own country Is the place where I'm longing to be.

The sophs went riding one day it is said-One hundred sophs in five bob-sleds; They rode and they rode till they ran out of snow. They decided at last there was no place to go. Back to old Weber they came on the run To see if the chili and buns were done. They ate and they ate till they couldn't eat more And when they were through they all rushed for the door. The girls to the assembly hall went forth to dance. While the boys did the dishes in aprons and pants. We were all very sorry when that day was gone But we cheered tin the crowd with laughter and song. DOROTHY TRACY. oo EIFE WITHOIT A TEACHER. Wouldn't it bo "grand" to live without having lo hear a teacher preaching at you all the time, especially some of these crabby, cranky old fogies We might want to learn a little while young, but when we grow older we would rather spend our lives indulging in some healthful outdoor sports. All these teachers like to do is hand out lessons, lessons, lessons, for us to evaporate into our heads. Then if we do not happen to catch on to the lessons as quickly as the other students we are at the mercy of their tempers. Try to imagine what a heaven it would be to get away from all of these torturers. LOIS JONES.
