The hikers will go to the peak and there hold suitable exercises and raise another flag on the mast which was placed there in 1922. There are numerous public speaking contests for the benefit of the students. The James L. Barker Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, which is held late in October, was founded by Professor Barker of the University of Utah for the purpose of discovering undeveloped talent among students. It consists of seven contests with different participants who speak on subjects announced an hour before the occasion. The winner of the final contest is awarded a cash prize of ten dollars, and the class attaining the highest number of credits receives the Barker cup. The J. S. Lewis Extemporaneous Speaking Contest is held in November and is similar to the one above, except that it consists of" one contest with an WUimited number of speakers. The- J. S. Lewis Company awards a gold medal to the winner.' To the successful competitor of the Grant Oratorical Contest, President Heber J. Grant presents an autographed book. Weber College is a member of the northern debating triangle and debates B. Y. C. at Logan and the Ricks College at Rexburg, Idaho. The winners of this league debate the winners of the southern triangle for the Church Junior College Championship. Many are the opportunities open to endeavor in the literary field. Mrs. Flora Eccles Douglas awards annually three prires for literary xcellence in different forms of written composition; one of twenty! dollars to the student producing the best poem; one of fifteen dollars to. the student writing the best essay; another of fifteen dollars to the author of the best short -- , - , ,, ... story The college publications are as .

Students of the college present a play each year in the auditorium. MemDers oi tne casi are cuwcu the various parts by means of competitive tryouts. Although it is unwise for any student to sacrifice work for pleasure, yet his enthusiasm for his lessons will increase if he does not withdraw from socials. Weber is noted for her activities in play as well as in work. The social season opens with the President's reception. Though this is intended to be the best attended dance of the year, there are many smaller dances just as enjoyable. Each class has its treasury to provide for many parties, hikes and dances. The Freshman "Country Fair" in January, and the girls' Valentine party promise to be annual festivities. By far the most important social function of the vear is the magnificent college Prom, held in the Berthana at the close of the winter quarter. This formal ball was inaugurated last year with tremendous success. The social season closes with the most enjoyed school day of the year, Girls' day. The young ladies' stand treat all day and in the evening give a dance. PRESIDENT TRACY RETURNS FROM U. OF CHICAGO ffnntinnpH Prnm " - - president concerning his stay Chicago.

He also visited the Mormon cemetery which contains many unmarked graves. President Tracy states that the business men of Nauvoo recognize the mistake of driving the Mor mons from that territory. They think that, had the Mormons been Dermitted to remain there, they I would have a city fully as large as Chicago. OBTAINS FLOWER FROM CARTHAGE JAIL President Tracy traveled over the same road from Nauvoo that the prophet was taken over when he was removed to Carthage jail. The president has many pictures which he took of Carthage jail and the room where the prophet and his brother Hvrum were killed. He also secured from near the dooi: of the jail a slip of a geranium which he expects to plant near the school, and which he will name "Carthage Geranium." Parts of the old battle ground called to his mind incidences he had read of concerning the early history of the Church. While comine through Kansas City and other cities the president stopped off and visited several schools. After Questioning him upon the outlook for Weber, he says he ex- Dects this to be the greatest year in the history of the institution.

The classes to be offered are Old and New Testament History, Church History and Doctrine, and any other course desired by a sufficient number of students who are eligible.

OFFICERS CHOSEN At the Alumni banquet held last May the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President John Q. Blaylock. First Vice-Pres Peter KaslUs. Second Vice-President Gladys Ensign Harbertson. Secretary Mary Jacobs Wilson. A school's traditions and ideals are perpetuated largely by its Alumni the men and women who have grown up with institution and who through storm and stress, sunshine and showers, have established its traditions and ideals. Because of this they have the school's welfare enmeshed in their very heartstrings. Weber, through a long career since 1889, has slowly evolved standards and traditions of clean life, genuine sportsmanship and high scholarship that are the envy of other schools and the pride of its Alumni and student body. It is the purpose of the Alum3J Association to see that these ideals are maintained and that the Purple and White shall continue to float unsullied over Weber. Another function of the Alumni is to advertise and "sell" Weber to think, "Weber," talk "Weber," sing "Weber" until the contagion spreads through the entire community and causes everyone to "break out" with "Weberitis." Let oHr slogan be "Weber a Four Year College."

Mr. Winkler left Saturday, September 20th for Germany to do missionary work. 1 -' , DANCE FOR HEBER JACOBS OCTOBER 2 On Thursday, October 2nd, in the Weber College auditorium will be held the farewell dance in honor of Heber Jacobs. Mr. Jacobs is to depart soon for England as a missionary, and it is expected that a large number of his friends will gather to give him a fitting send-off. On account of the dance being held in the school auditorium it will be possible for a much larger crowd to be in attendance. The Safety Of PUBLIC SERVICE BUREAU TO BE ACTIVE The public service bureau, under the direction of Gladys Blaylock, president, and Josephine Manzel, vice president, is preparing for an active year of service. Programs have already been given this fall in several wards. The public service bureau is an organization within the student body which has as its objective service to the public. Programs are furnished upon request to any organization, whether religious, civic or social. These programs may consist of readings, music, talks, or anything else that is desired.Last year not only the people of Ogdea were entertained, but programs were taken to out of town wards, as far south as Kaysville, and north as far as Brigham City. It is the aim of the officers of this year's organization to be even more useful to the public than during the previous years. WEBER'S LIBRARY ENLARGED Students will be pleasantly surprised at the obvious improvement of the college library. Last year the students were handicapped by the lack of suitable reference books in the library. This year that difficulty will be largely remedied. Sufficient funds have been placed at the disposal of the school to provide an addition el over twenty-five hundred volumes to the already well-filled shevles. A large part of these books are practical reference works for every department. One of the especially fine features of the new library is the "Mormon Library," which contains practically all Mormon literature. Many of these books are the orgi-inal copies and are therefor very valuable. A total of twenty-five periodicals is now in the library, and back copies have been ordered to complete past volumes. All this material will be especially valuable to the student because of its easy accessibility. The cataloging system has been revised and is the same as employed in the public libraries. All books are classified according to topic, title and author. This makes it possible for the student to find the material ha is looking for much more quickly and efficiently. .
