NEW SEMESTER The second semester, which will be the last one for Weber High School, began Monday the fifteenth, after two trying weeks of examinations and first semester make-up work. The work for the remainder of the year is now under way, and classes are back to normal again. Since this is to be our last year as a high school we expect to make a fine showing in all branches of our work. This should apply to scholarship as well as activities. As a parting tribute to our school, we suggest that all high school students go to their classes determined to secure better grades than ever before, and to make this semester the successful climax of the high school's career. STUDENTS TAKE NOTE A complaint has come in regarding the disgraceful appearance of the steps leading up to the auditorium from the fountain. The condition is especially bad during basketball practice. Students should treat the halls of their school with as much respect as they would those in their own homes. Our building may not be the most beautiful in the land but it should at least give an impression of decency. We believe that Weber students should care enough for the general appearance of their school to refrain from this disgusting habit. EXCHANGES Brigham Young College The "Hermit of Hawaii" is the selection to be presented by the B. Y. C. this year. It is a comic opera by Arthur A. Penn, and promises to be one of the big events of the year. Brigham Young University Professor Earl Pardoe, head of the Dramatic Art Department, has attended the National Speech Convention. While there he gave a paper on the "Technique of the Body," which received many commendations. Professor Par-doe is a former instructor of Weber. Utah Agricultural College The college play for this year is to be "Dear Brutus", by Barrie. Tryouts will be held in the near future. 1st. student Have you seen Mildred Brown around here lately ? 2nd. student No but I saw Sterling Wheelwright about five minutes ago. The silence of the editorial room was broken by a rap on the door. Lorraine and Zula entered bashfully. Ye Editors broke away from their work to see what they wanted. Their voices sounded sweet and appealing, they could not neglect their question. "Where's that matinee dance?" they asked. They had their hair newly waved, their shoes were shined and they had on their best dresses. All ready for the dance and it was seven o'clock. The dance had been over for three-quarters of an hour. COLLEGE RALLY Again the college showed it's spirit when nearly all the members turned out to serenade the town and gain it's support for the game Thursday evening. The students gathered on twenty-fourth street and Washington Avenue just before noon Thursday. They executed some spirited yelling and drew a crowd of the towns-people. Mr. Marriott then surprised those assembled by telling them that they were not there to sell them anything, to hold a political, nor a religious meeting, but to tell them that Weber College had joined the Junior College hoop tourney and was in the fight to win. He then introduced Mayor Frank Francis. Mr. Francis urged the citizens to support the College in all endeavours, stating that now was the time to have a real college in Ogden. As mayor of Ogden he asked the citizens to patronize the game to be held that night at Weber the first college game to be played in Ogden. The next speaker was Attorney David J. Wilson. He made the astonishing statement that everything must be born, stating that he himself was born once. He told his audience that Weber College was just being born and that she needed the assistance of the people of Ogden to make her grow. The meeting was interspersed throughout with songs and yelling . Both were a credit to the college. EVANSTON HO, OR THE INSIDE DOPE The time was set for eight-twenty a. m. The suit case of Hill and Halverson, with "Weber College" standing out in purple, and all the other local boys' names in red, struck the public eye with such force, that one loyal citizen paid the Plumber's car fare to the depot. The team was warming the bench in the depot at 8:22 a. m., breathless and excited over Manager Helm and money. This man of means finally walked in at 8 :25 with his Ingersoll stopped and the company's cash in one-dollar bills. Brownie Weaver gave the boys a rousing send off and a few yells, at the subway gate. The man in grey took Weaver to the street with Brownie still yelling Who-gee-gee-rah-rah-rah. Floyd spent' four bits at the United Loan Office for a deck of paste boatds, which were worn out teaching Bill Potts the game of solo. The train pulled out with Brownie and the band playing "When you come back, if you do come back." A fellow passenger's canary sang several verses of the Purple and White, between Ogden and Echo where it there departed cage and all. At the tunnel Joe Flygare forgot to light the lamps, with the result that Sieman Bow man held four aces in the next game. Train No. 6 stopped in Evans- ton at one minuts to twelve, on time, with the chorus of "Where do we eat." Well, we ate a good two-dollar meal, at the expense of Evanston, without many hard feelings. Gee! but money was slippery. Sieman lost a nickle in a slot machine, which payed two chips. He traded the chips for a punch at a punch board and won a pocket knife with two blades. One blade, placed in a slot, played the player piano, all afternoon at cost price. Bowman's vampish smile made the waitress hostile and she took the catsup off the tables . Sieman later got his revenge on the restaurant in general. We participated in a battle of slipping feet at the ball game. The floor was so glassy Bowman wore roller skates. A college girl, to Brownie Weaver "How do you like the girls' dances." Brownie "I think they are great, I like the girls to flock around me at least once a year." REMINISCENCES It wos COLD yes the atmosphere around us, and our feet also. Oh, I'm forgetting to say where this cooling atmosphere is, was, and possibly always will be until the month of July again resumes its thirty-one days of heat. The place, oh yes, it is easy, very easy to forget to tell people where, when, and how, when telling about an adventure; especially one as thrilling or as wonderful as this It was the trip form Malan's basin to the mouth of Taylor canyon. We had just completed the journey from Mt. Ogden to the basin and were awaiting the arrival of Mr. Taylor, Pete Couch and Larry. We built a fire and as soon as they came we made an improvised stretcher from two young trees, coats, haversacks, belts and so forth. But this turned out to be a failure as Larry's weight and that of those who were at either end of the stretcher proved too much for the thin crust on the snow. It was fast becoming dark, and the many chucks in the trail were becoming invisible, much to the disgust and displeasure of the foot-sore and weary hikers; especially Larry who had to be literally carried down the seemingly endless trail. Not many could walk that distance on one leg and end the trip with a smile. We had a good time, there are no two ways about it. Although we have a few aches, as a result of continually lifting and dragging our feet, nevertheless the adventure was very much enjoyed. Some expressed their sentiments thus : "I wouldn't have missed the trip for a hundred dollars, but I would not go again for a thousand," but when they have forgotten their sore muscles and when another trip is planned, they will be "on deck." Bert Opheikens. SIEMAN'S KNIFE A TRAGEDY While the College basketball team was in the cafe at Evans-ton, Sieman Bowman was up to the front of the cafe playing the slot machine. He put a nickle in the machine and got out two chips which he traded for a chance on the punch board. He punched the board and received a pocket knife. He then put the pocket knife in the electric piano slot and played the piano all afternoon for nothing. "And all went merry as a marriage bell," until after the dance when they were met by Plummer rushing" wildly back to the hall and crying excitedly, "Boys, we've got to go back. Sieman has lost his knife !" The team immediately returned but a "defective" investigation did not find the persons who were charged with "treason" against the team for "copping" the knife. Next morning Sicilian was misssed from "his accustomed place" and after a frantic search was discovered, just before train time, talking seriously to a policeman. He denies that it was about the knife, but "you know me Al." HEARD ON THE HIKE Harvey became wise and com posed the following saying, while he sat on a snow bank toasting his toes, "If you 'Terr (y)' your 'Wolleys' while trying to 'Budge,' lay on the 'Couch' and let the 'Taylor' fix them." Harvey (on the hike) : "What time it it?' Bert : "Don't know ; my watch froze up." Florence and Percy still persist in radiatorology. The floor is beginning to take the impress of their shoes. More than one way of leaving footprints. Ernest Wilkinson "What are you going to wear to the backward party?" Miss Austin "Nothing." Ernest "I'll be over at eight." Departments CARPENTRY DEPARTMENT The carpentry department, un der the direction of Prof. Ridges, is doing efficient work in the lines of manual training. There are about eighty-five students enrolled during the different periods of the day, and all seem to take much interest in their work. The shop is well-equipped, and affords first-class advantages to the boy who wishes to learn the mysteries of the saw and plane. The products of the carpentry classes are numerous and varied. Cedar chests, tool chests, cabinets, ironing boards, and tables are only a few of them. Besides making useful articles such as these, the students learn the fundamentals of carpentry, so that they become prepared to take up this vocation after leaving school. This department is not brought to the notice of the rest of the school very much, but its work is being done well. DOINGS OF THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Although not much has been published about Weber's domestic department its work is worthy of favorable comment. It is composed of a lively bunch of girls and two efficient teachers who are up and doing, willing to help Weber, and always preparing a feast for someone. A four course dinner was served by them on January 12th to the Church School Commissioners Apostles John A. Widt-soe, Stephen L. Richards, Richard R. Lyman, and the Board members of Weber College. The serving was done by Elizabeth Shaw, Elva Stephensen, Verda Bybee and Rae Chadwick. On January 18th, four Weber girls, Eva Marriott, Norma Barrett, Lea Anderson and La Von Green served a four-course luncheon to the Amour Club members who were being entertained by Mrs. Arthur D. Miller. Last Friday morning sixty-five of the C-D domestic science girls enjoyed a visit to the Sperry mills. The girls were delighted to be accompanied by Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Tanner. The classes are studying wheat products and in the laboratory ten girls make bread and rolls each day. The junior cooking girls made angel and golden cakes which they served at a tea given at the Berthana last Tuesday. CURRENT EVENTS DISCUSSED IN HISTORY CLASSES When it was found that events which may sometime revolutionize the world were slipping by unnoticed by the average student, some of our teachers set about to remedy the condition with the result that at present one day a week the history classes recite on current event topics, each stu dent giving one event of im portance. At the end of the period the articles are collected and pasted in a large scrap book by two members of the class. A great deal more interest in state, national, and inter-national affairs is already noticeable. Teachers are like verbs. They can be divided into two classes; regular and irregular.

It is suggested, however, that the county rent for the present a part of the Weber College building to be used until such time as they can supply or erect their own. If this were done, however, it may necessitate the erection of a college building for Weber College, but at any rate should the county decide to accept this offer, the boys and girls of the county high school as well as the students of the city high school, whose parents are assisting in the erection of the gym, would have access to physical education in the Weber gym. All officials are of the opinion that both the city and the county make such adjustments as will permit their students to have access to the Weber gym. The gymnasium is progressing rapidly and it is fully expected that it will be completed for operation by next September. In the future, Weber College with its seminary, its college and its gymnasium will be better able to serve the community than it has ever been before. HIGH JINKS The High School study hall door flew open and out rushed Miss Scowcroft, she had nearly reached the hall stairs when the doors of the study hall crashed open and out plunged Pete. It looked as if there had been a little trouble in the sanctuary of study. Miss Scowcroft stopped running when she reached the fountain, but our star athlete rushed down the stairs. (Mystery grows.) A feminine handkerchief was dampened, and amid a flurry of skirts our librarian dashed back to the study hall. In a few moments Pete returned with a bunch of keys in his hand (Mystery deepens.) In his excitement Couch forgot which key belonged to the athletic room door. Finally, after a number of unsuccessful attempts he opened the room and in a few moments he came out, flinging a wet towel. He also started for the study hall. What was it all about? Oh I forgot to say, someone had fainted from over-study. With apologies to Mr. Coue. Day by day in every way they're getting brighter, brighter and brighter. (We mean the girls' sweaters) Bill P. Steve won't have to grow wings when he goes to heaven. Plummer Why that? Bill Well when he plays basketball he can stay in the air so long, seems to know how to fly.
