Ol i'iriul paper of the Weber College. Address all communications to Weber Herald, Otfden, Utah. thk wkbeh hkkald staff (Acting Members) J. Willanl .Marriott Editor Gladys iirovvn, Marion Taylor, Sarah Spencer, Llewelyn McKay Assistant Editors WEBER'S NEW PRESIDENT Aaron W. Tracy has been chosen as the new president of the Weber College, lie succeeds Mr. Joel E. Ricks, who resigned from that capacity to accept the chair of history at the Utah Agricultural college. Mr. Tracy is a native of Oilen, himself a graduate of Weber, from which school he went to the Brigham Young university and later to the University of Chicago. He has, for the past three years, held the position as head of the English department of Weber, in which capacity he has proved bis ability and his earnestness.The fact that Mr. Tracy is himself a gratlmite of the school he is now going to head, makes us feel that he is, in a sense, taking upon his shoulders the paternal robe to govern, as it were, the family of which he at one tmu was a junior member. And there is no doubt in our minds but what Mr. Tracy will succeed in his new capacity. His many splendid and desirable qualities include those attributes which make for success in whatever he undertakes to do. We congratulate the board upon their choice and heartily indorse his appointment. SEPARATE COLLEGE AND SENIOR HIGH CLASSES For five years there has existed in Ogden a college under the name ot Weber Normal. That name also embraced a high school department which boasted about a dozen times as many students. Due to this large majority of students, people of this community have thought of Weber in terms of a high school. The small college classes have fought hard to bring the college to the top, but under the rule of high school officials in every activity, this has been almost impossible. Last year in the fight for the upbuilding of the college, college men and women were given responsible positions in the student body affairs. As a result the college came to the front and demanded attention. At a rally held near the close of school last year the college classes decided to dissolve the student body of Weber, which will give the future students of Weber College a separate student organization. This "breaking of relations" was nut done to cause any feeling of superiority over the Weber high school, but on the other hand for the advantages it offered the college and its students. One may easily see the opportunity for growth which this separation will present to Weber Junior College. It will give the students the opportunity to cope, on an equal basis, with students of other junior colleges in both intellectual and athletic activities. This, if nothing else, will prove a drawing card for the college. The students under a college governing body will grow away from high school ways and enter into their activities as college men and women. In this way they will create a college spirit in Weber. ALUMNI ACTIVITY Our Alumni is behind us to a man. Their love for Weber is being expressed in a material way. As an organization they are determined to establish our school and their school so firmlv on the map that it will endure for ail time. They have set out now to erect within a very few years a magnificent college hall. They aim to raise funds by various methods. One is by several annual plays. From these plays they hope to realize from a thousand to two thousand dollars each year. This amount, added to what the associated students can probably raise annually, placed at interest, will increase into a powerful purse within a very short time. When their plavs are put on, every Weberite will be present to enjoy the productions of the alumni. Hyrum Belnap, ex-president of the Alumni association, constitutes the dramatic company of the Alumni. He will select from time to time a member of the Alumni association who has become proficient in play production to make up a cast and put before the public a plav of the highest order. Mrs. Bertha Eccles Wright has been selected to direct the first play which will be produced. She will announce the play and cast soon. We are proud of our Alumni association and will do all in our power to support it. The officers of the Alumni are: Harvey Taylor, president; Ruth Scow-croft, "second vice president, and Del-bert Wright, secretary and treasurer. ATTITUDE OF THE CHURCH OFFICIALS Since the beginning of the church school the L. D. S. Church has always been ready" and willing to share in the upbuilding of education. Although there have been many periods of distress and evident failure during the growth of the church schools, triumph has held sway and progress has increased its stride. Now, as the Ogden college advances another step, additional courage is given. President Tracy has received word from the members of the commission of education stating that they are ready to support Weber to the maximum of five hundred college students. With their eyes looking into the future, the people of Ogden cannot help but appreciate such an offer to aid in the improvement of their city. "To be, or not to be that is the question." We are certain that Weber is to be, in time, one of the finest colleges in the state. Education means more growth, more advancement, more development.Don't miss the rally, the big commencement of our school season. BIG MUSICAL EVENTS PROMISED FOR YEAR Perhaps no year in the past has had the splendid musical offerings that are promised for this year. Already three distinct features are scheduled, one of which is now in course of preparation. In November, the private vocal students, under the direction of W. II. Manning, head of the music school, will present Balfe's beautiful opera, "The Bohemian Girl." Blanche Kendell McKey will direct the staging, and Ernest Oborn will assist in directing the music. With the assistance of these two artists a splendid performance is promised. Already an array of talent is working hard on various parts. The following will participate: Evo Porter, Adelaide Ashton, Melba Douglas, Gwn Nelson, Millie Millar, Myra Wright, Erma Stephens, Aura Bennett, Ethel liowns, Violet Banford, Kuth Wright, Annie Ilarrop, Luella Anderson, Dr. W. M. Cragun, Glen Wright, Heber Jacobs, James Lindsay, Wm. Van der Huell, David Johnston, Wallace Budge, Wayne Grow, Sterling Wheelwright, Charles Dee. The second musical offering is to be "The Martyrs," which is a sacred cantata by Evan Stephens, to be given by the Choral society of the college. The presentation last year was a surprise to the many who attended. Many requests for its repetition have been received, consequently, near the birthday of the Prophet Joseph Smith, December 23, this master work will be repeated. The third musical offering will be scenes from "Thais" and "La Bo-heme," given by the advanced students of the vocal art department. MR. WILKINSON NAMED AS PUBLICITY MANAGER Professor Wilkinson has been appointed publicity manager of the Weber College. It is his duty to keep before the people of the community exactly what Weber is doing and what she intends to do. Mr. Wilkinson is losing no time in porforming that which has been assigned to him. He has already placed before the people of the community, interesting programs, in which information relative to the purposes and aims of the Weber College have been given. Mr. Wilkinson's aim is to so thoroughly plant Weber in the minds of the people of the various wards that they will dream for Weber and live for Weber. BOARD VOTES WEBER A JUNIOR COLLEGE (Continued From Page One) an institution of higher education in its midst. Heretofore, although science, mathematics and composition courses have been given, it has been generally understood that only normal training could be received. However, the courses planned this year are complete, and one desiring to take junior college work may obtain credits here which will receive equal consideration with those of the senior college.

Mountain climbing is fast becoming a leading out-of-doors activity. The many lifty peaks, shady glens, and sparkling streams in the Wasatch range supply variation and rest from the tired hum-dum which modern civilization imposes upon man. In the past, Weber has had no organized hiking activity. True, many individuals and small parties have made trips into the mountains, but, as a school, little has been done as yet. In September of this year, however, Weber will make her first pilgrimage to Ogden's famous peak, Mount Ogden. This peak is the highest in the immediate range of the Wasatch. From its summit on a clear day one can look into five states. Salt Lake City and Logan are clearly visible. A fine trail modifies the ruggedness of the climb, making it in ail one of the most delightful mountain trips in the world. The plans for the trip, although not definite, will be about as follows: Early in the morning, students, faculty, alumni and friends will gather at the mouth of Taylor's canyon. Here each person will be provided with his proper pack, and from here the pilgrimage proper will begin, taking the trail to Malan's Heights, thence to the cabin site. Here the halt for breakfast and a few hours' rest will be called. Again taking the trail, the pilgrimage will wind its way to Mt. Ogden. Once upon the peak, a fitting program will be rendered, which wiii mark the beginning of one more tradition for Weber. Already much interest is being shown in the trip. Many are anxious to join with us in making it a success. Get your "hiking togs" now. Be one of the hundreds to make Weber's first pilgrimage to Mt. Ogden. M'KAY GIVES POLICY FOR H. S. STUDENT BODY In some schools, perhaps in nearly all high schools and colleges, there is a certain percentage of the students that seem to draw apart from the others, and no matter what comes up that calls for the support of all, this crowd gives the proposition neither physical nor moral support. A great deal of criticism is exchanged among students concerning the actions of the officers in student association affairs, but very seldom is a remedy suggested. By the time the disfavors reach those who perhaps could adjust them, it is too late to do so successfully. Indifferent students, students who are afraid to help with a little work, students who want something for nothing, are the ones that fail to cooperate with the officers in making the association a success. That is the spirit that we do not want in 1922-23. If nothing else is accomplished but cooperation of all the students, we feel that the year will be a successful one. Students at Weber are given more self government than in most schools. The board of control is composed of nine direct representatives of the students and two faculty members, showing that the students have fair control over student affairs. More than ever, then, there should be complete harmony between students and faculty members. The faculty will support the student association in everything that is not harmful to the school or contrary to the wishes of the board. That has been proved in the past. Weber is known for her excellent spirit and for "live" students. During the past two years certain ones have said that the school spirit is dying. These are the students who are killing it. Knockers and not boosters kill anything. Nothing can be done to suit everyone just right. What some people like, others dislike, and visa versa, so that some of us must go out of our way a little to please others. This means outside of school as well as inside. The actions of the students outside of school boost or knock the institution more than anything else. If we follow out the policy of cooperating with one another, of being boosters and of maintaining Weber ideals, it will inevitably lead to a live school year, pleasant work and success.Don't miss the rally, the big commencement of our school season. 1.

TRACY APPOINTED PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One) tithing, "to save all the rest and not to buy gloves, since they wear out, but to use the bare hands, for it endures."At Marriott, President Tracy worked his way through the grammar schools and at the age of eighteen began to. attend the school, over which he is now called to preside. Often he would walk the entire distance of five miles to and from school. And after four years of financial struggle, at the age of twenty-two, he graduated from Weber. Pres. Tracy as Teacher. Because of his ambition and high ideals, he was appointed as principal in his own town-of Marriott. After two years of service in this capacity he attended the Brigham Young university for one year, leaving school again to be principal at Slaterville. While at Slaterville he married Ethel Marriott, who has been his continual inspiration. His services were then sought by Honeyville, in Box Elder county, where he was principal for a year. From here he went to West Weber as principal, thence to Burch Creek, and finally to Eden, being by this time one of the highest paid principals in Weber'eounty. After two years at Eden he again attended the Brigham Young university where he stayed until he was graduated in 1919. Since then he has takenpost-graduate work at the University of Chicago. Coming to Weber in 1919 as a member of the faculty, his first position not requiring principalship duties, he was soon appointed head of the department of English, which position he has filled with signal ability. His work was soon recognized by Superintendent Bennion and for the last two years he has been chairman of the committee on English for the entire church school system. President Tracy's life and personality can best be summarized by the thought that he exemplifies in true W.Edwards & Sons FIRST-CLASS Shoe Repair Service 33012 24th St. Service Is Our Motto Try Orpheum Candies For Something Better Orpheum Candy Co.

"An educated man," he said, "is the man who has the power to think, to act and to appreciate." As a Thinker and Planner. President Tracy is fundamentally a thinker. The great characteristic of his life has been that virtue of always planning and organizing. Fortunately, unlike many thinkers, he has the ability to suit the action to the thought, and his thought is always governed by what he thinks is right. His life has been a life of action. From infancy he has devoted his mind and labor to working out schemes. When a child at the tender age of seven years in Star valley, he found himself without any toys or other means of recreation, and decided to build for himself a sleigh. Modeling it after the sleighs, as le had remembered them in Utah, he cut out the runners, but forgot to curve them in the front. Mounting the highest peak possible of a neighboring hill, he gave a great plunge; the-sleigh broke through the crust of snow and Aaron continued to the bottom, using his own avoirdupois as the best sleigh. Gathering himself together at the bot-ton, again he mounted the hill, obtained and rebuilt his sleigh, perhaps the first one in Star valley. Here also, when his folks couldn't afford to buy suspenders for him, he manufactured his own. When he went to Honeyville as principal, some of the ttvnspeople, on seeing him, proclaimd him "a young freckled-faced kid of seventeen." When he left Honeyville the entire community gave him and Mrs. Tracy a public reception, presenting him with a gold ring, and his wife with a bracelet. They realized that to him was due the credit for a modern school which became a reality the following year. It is rather significant also that a new school followed his work at Burch Creek. Student Body President at B. Y. U. While at the Brigham Young university he was elected president of the student body. Under his active leadership the stndent body began a movement which was the beginning of the progressive university spirit now being manifest at that school. President Tracy thought that it was "wrong" to have high school and college students in the same classes, and organized together in the same student body. By relentless work he managed to get the issue before the school board of control and the president of the school, with the result that the college students separated themselves from the high school students. The upshoot of this separation was the evolving of a plan, eliminating the high school and making the "Y" the Lew Thomas 0. K.

Coming to Weber in 1919, he started the movement for the standardization of the size of classes, and through his efforts Weber is now recognized, in some regards, as being an ideal school. Alumni Banquet Greatest Success. Last year, as president of the Weber Alumni association, he succeeded in bringing back four hundred and seventeen students to the institution to enjoy the annual alumni banquet. The enthuiasm resulting was a great aid in getting the people of Ogden to support the Weber gymnasium. Has Held Prominent Positions. President Tracy was president of both the Weber and B. Y.

Because of his life of hardship and, at times, of solitude, he has a very deep appreciation of the aesthetic and spiritual values of life, and few men have a much stronger testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel. Weber can be proud of the fact that it has a president who is just as firm in his religion as was his father and grandfather, who drove an ox team across the plains and built the first house in Marriott Settlement. A goodly portion of his life has been spent as a sheepherder in the hills, where he was close to nature and his God. Weber College is fortunate in securing his his services as shepherd of its students. Immediately after his appointment and upon his recommendation, the board of trustees changed the name of the institution to Weber College, and voted a complete course of junior college work. Under President Tracy's leadership Weber is destined within a very few years to become a competitor to the Brigham Young unversity, the largest institution in the Church schoolsystem.
