Y WINTER SPORTSMEN SGALE IGY MOUNT OGDEN COLLEGE CAMPUS F The wonderful visionary descriptions of the future of Weber College with its larger campus and more college buildings are proving to be more than just visions. The erection of the gymnasium' is the realization of a vision which has been, held up before the eyes of the people of this school and vicinity for so many years that the people branded it as simply a dream. The foundation of the Gym was begun many years ago anil it was said that the building was all built and hanging in the air by ropes, but no one would go up and cut the ropes. These same people have found that Weber's well known visions, backed by a loyal alumni and an enthusiastic student body, often materialize. For some time a vision of the future of Weber College, with a larger campus and more real College buildings, has been held up before the people and like the vision of the gymnasium it is beginning' to be a reality. The tearing down of the old building marks the first step in this direction. This building which was located on the east front of the campus was orig'-inally a residence. For some time after it became the property of the school it was the home of the president of the school. Later it was used by the music deparment after which it was known as the music building'. During' the last few years of the high school, some of the History classes were transferred to the old building. Many of the older students will remember what wonderful classes were held there under the direction of Professors Oborn, Nichols, and Manning of the music department.The old building was vacant all winter until about a month ago when the Vinci-mus club obtained permission to hold their physical activities there. A few boxing and wrestling matches were held by the club members before the work of destruction was started. Soon the campus will include the old location and then efforts will be directed toward further realization of Weber's visions. BASEBALL OUTLOOK Several days ago the weather was something' of a supernatural development. During those days of natural warmth and sunshine, some of the students were leisurely pitching the ball one to another. The boys w:-ve cany-in,, then iiMts in one hip pocket and a ball in the other. Fi' iin this turnout, several noons, it loo; like we've got some Babe Ruths, and one thing another of that type in school. Weber High School was noted for its fast baseball teams. Some of these men are in Weber now, as well as some other stors. Doesn't history repeat itself? Sometime in the near future, when let's watch and see what happens. We might have a baseball team. You can never tell, but the dope looks good. i iiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiii urn iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiii t rfr G. Tournament At Ephriam Huge Success Northern Division Outclasses South A sensational basket ball tournament held at Ephriam February 28, 29, and March 1, brought the Junior College basket ball season to a close. Four teams representing Snow, and Dixie of the Sou thern division and the B. Y. C. and Ricks of the Northern division competed for the pennant. The first night Ricks defeated Dixie and B. Y. C. nosed out Snow by a narrow margin. The second night B. Y. C. forged ahead three points for her second victory of the Tournament. In the game following Ricks chalked up her second victory, making Snow once more the victim. On Saturday night after playing two extra periods of sensational ball B. Y. C. defeated her old rival Ricks and won the championship. In the fight for the cel lar position Dixie forced the honor upon Snow after a heart breaking finish for the Ephriam rooters. Thus the tournament ended. B. Y. C. First. Ricks. Second. Dixie. Third. Snow. Fourth. With but one exception one could foretell the outcome of any one of the six games two minutes before the final whistle. The teams were exceptionally well matched, played fast and clean. Merlon Stevenson, and Malcom Watson officiated in all of the games. Their work was of high order and gave the best of satisfaction.The Ephriam Commercial club, whose guarantee made the tournament a success financially and socially, let no opportunity for the welfare and comfort of the visiting teams escape their commit tees. Excursions and entertainments of every variety were provided for the visitors, much to the discomfort of the worried coaches. On Saturday afternoon the Snow College and Commercial club provided a sumptuous banquet for the men and teams of the schools attending the meet. At this affair the associations of the previous days were lauded and applauded and a feeling of lasting f r i e ndship developed, that can only heighten the success of such meets in the future. The President of the League, r. G. Barton, the secretary, Joseph Jenkins, and President Hales of Snow, backed by their school and the town, directed the tournament in a most efficient and satisfactory way. The Gymnasium w a s packed each night and Sanpete will long remember the 1921 Junior College Basketball Tournament.Professor Jensen, in theology -"Mr. Anderson, can you tell us where we left the principal character of our narrative yesterday?"

Wednesday, February 27, the Ogden and Box Elder basket ball teams played a tie-off for the Ogden division championship. Although the tig'ers won by the score of 26 to 11, the bees kept their wonderful fighting spirit up during" all four periods of the game. The game was fast and featured much team work. It was played in the Weber Gymnasium which was filled to capacity with spectators. This victory gave to Ogden High School their first division championship with it a chance for the state title. Ogden should surely be proud of Coach Kapple's well trained team. With their defeat the Box Elder team had the chance to play South Summit for a place in the first bracket of the tournament, but were defeated in a hotly contested game at Coalville by a score of 32 to 31. Mr.Tupper Entertains Students The students of Weber were entertained Wednesday, March 5, in the Devotional exercises by Mr. Tupper. He gave a short address on the subject "keeping young;" the keeping of the spirit of youth even in declining years. Mr. Tupper is a retired business man who has devoted considerable time to study of the drama and has also written plays which are produced under his direction in his own theater in Oakland, California. He was to read one of his plays ond left the selection to the students as to whether it should be serious or humorous. The majority desired the humourous play so he read a unique little play, entitled "Hodge, the Wood Cutter." It was a study in the unusual, fairies, elves and such "little folks" creating the plot that centered a-round some poor unhappy "mortals." It was very much enjoyed and appreciated by the students who were very grateful to him for rendering such an interesting and educational program.

HALLS TALKS TO STUDENT BODY Impresses Upon Students The Importance of Choosing a Vocation In the Devotional exercises February 26lh an address on "Selecting a Vocation" was given by Geo. Halls. The sub- stane of his address was: I feel very pleased this morning' in having the opportunity of meeting this student body. I do not feel altogether out of place because I was once a student of this institution. This institution has done great things for me and has assisted me in educating my family. I trust that you will follow me closely in this subject "Selecting a Vocation."This is one of the most important things in life, because if we make a mistake in this particular thing our lives are not going to be profitably spent. All honorable labor should be dignified. I should like to impress upon you that we should not look clown on any class of honorable labor. It is just as important to have this building heated and lighted as it is to have the teachers to instruct. You students come to this institution to acquire learning and knowledge and while you want that knowledge, still if I were to ask you why, you would say to more thoroughly equip myself for life. What are you going to do in the world? The world needs workers and if I should ask you, what particular nitch in this great world do you fit, probably you would not be able to answer me. I say to you girls, this morning, it is just as necessary for you to know how to cook and keep house as it is to have a college education. You must be prepared to perform the tasks of domesticity.It is just as necessary for you boys to know something about the farm, the city, the (Continued on Page 3) Utah-Idaho Junior College League Organized At a meeting of representa tives of all the schools in the Junior College League held at Snow College March 1, a permanent organization was affected. The organization shall be known as the Utah and Idaho Junior College Athletic Association. The Constitution and By-laws will be published in a later ed ition of the Flerald. The charter members are Ricks, B. Y C, Weber, L. D. S., Snow, B. A. C, and Dixie. At this meeting provision was made for an invitation track and field meet in each division in the spring. A tentative football schedule for 1924-25 was also drawn up. According to this schedule, Weber will give battle to Ricks, B. Y. C, and L. D. S., at Ogden and to Snow at Ephriam. A. L. Winsor represented Weber at this meeting.

OPERA "CARMEN" TO BE MUSICAL TREAT Professor Manning and Aids Are Developing Wonderful Caste As the time approaches for the presentation of the Grand Opera "Carmen" the cast is rapidly being put through the paces in the art of singing and acting. There will be a few surprises for there will be presented a Carmen, a Don Jose, a Michaela, and an Es-camilo, the like of which has not been produced in Ogden. Mrs. Pauline Waterfall will interpert the role of Carmen. In type and voice she is well suited to the part and some day could be a real "Carmen." Don Jose? Yes, Jim Lindsay. Who would have believed that Jim, as he pushes his listless broom could step forth, a kind sweetheart, dutiful son, and turn suddenly to a pasionate lover, desert his country for a woman whom he kills. But Jim fills the shoes of Don Jose more than full. Miss Lillian Eastman will be lovely in the character of the tender sweet Michaela, and Rulon Budge with his red hair (page the hair dyer) will throw the bull in the roll of Escamillo the bull fighter. So much for the principals and a word about the rest. The chorus, thirty voices of fine caliber, stir up a great deal of life and color, singing about eight selections of the finest choral music ever written. And talk about the beauty and manliness, the chorus of "Carmen" is full of it. Now keep your seats. There will be imported twelve dancing beauties from Seville, Spain, and "Hot Tamali!" how they can dance. So you see Carmen will be a real big affair that Weber can well be proud of. Too, we must not forget there are other principals helping Mr. Manning. They are Mr. Oborn, Marj- Wooley, Sophia Wetherill Reed, Wade Stephens, and Mr. Sterling Wheelwright. Prof. Blaylock Takes Charge of School In the absence of President Tracy, a man much beloved by the Weber College students is ably filling his place. This is the sixth year Prof. Blaylock has been in Weber as professor of History and Economics. The students love, respect, and admire Prof. Blaylock and are giving him their loyal support. Prof. Blaylock secured his B. A. in History and his M. A. in Economics from the University of Utah. He will attend the college at Logan this summer to take a course in Western Flistory under Dr. Tanner of Columbia Univers-' ity. J Prof. Blaylock is a man of much experience in executive work. Pie has been principal of four different schools. Just before coming to teach at Weber he taught at the Lewis Junior High School. The Weber students welcome Prof. Blaylock, and promise him undivided support.Buy from our advertisers. i iiinini iiiiiiiiiiini iiiimi inn 1924. tj? Find Less Snow Than In Former ANDERSON PARTY The Anderson party which held revival meetings at the First Baptist Church from February 11, to 24, came to the Weber chapel exercises Thursday, the 21st. Mr. Mead is the Young People's worker, Mr. Crane the chorister, and Mr. Anderson the evangelist of the party. After singing two negro spirituals, Rev. Anderson addressed the students on "What is a Man Worth?" He said that physically, when the -elements of the body had been segregated, if put on the market a human being would sell for ninety-eight cents. Intellectually a man is very unstable. Rev. Anderson quoted Roosevelt in this regard. "If a man will steal an overcoat when uneducated he will steal a railroad w h e n educated." Everyone must have spiritual stability to make him an honest, square, person. Spiritual development is the main thing in life. It is the thing that makes martyrs die without feeling the pain; it is the thing that makes men a-chieve. Especially is this true when we stop to think that the mind is the servant of the heart. Debating Prospects Good; Debate March 14 The outlook for a success ful debating season is very promising. Although no league debates have been held as yet, we are confident that our teams have builded arguments, that our opponents will be unable to defeat. The value of debating to the participants and to those who "listen in" can not be overestimated. It trains the mind to be keen, alert, resourceful, and in many ways it trains the intellect. Judging from the immense stack of cards and the numerous reference books that Leland Monson carries about, we imagine that debating trains the physical as well as the mental. Our first league debate will be held March 14, when our affirmative team will meet Ricks, at W'eber, and our negative will meet B. Y. C. at Logan. These debates should be as keenly anticipated and as loyally supported as have been the other activities. We can hardly expect our teams to work unceasingly for us if we do not encourage them with our support. Of course Weber always supports her activities, but this is just a gentle reminder that we must get behind our team, wish them success, support the debates and so make this a banner year for debating. The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them.Ca-vour. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini iiiiiiiiiiini 11111111111111111111111!: A nn iiiiiin iiinnni.iiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiinn rft -t Years Descent Rapid And Full of Thrills The annual winter hike to Mount Ogden was held Feb. 23. The day was cloudy and somewhat uncertain; nevertheless, the sun came from hiding enough to make the day quite ideal for Winter hiking. The little party left Weber at 8:45. Heavy shoes, warm coats, and caps, canteens, lunches, cameras, and raisins were chief among their weapons of protection. Different was the valley and the foothills; no snow, or ice as in previous years, but the signs of spring everywhere. Taylor's Canyon with its same rugged beauty, had sheltered only a few inches of snow which had become well packed by the process of melting and freezing. Malan's trail was buried in about 2 or 4 feet of snow over which several hikers had gone when the snow was soft. Since, the snow had frozen, leaving the path rough and uneven. A rest at Malan's heights, netted the little party several pictures also satisfied appe tites. From here the party followed the Weber Trail This, although well covered with snow, could easily be traced by the fresh cut limbs and shruberry. From Malan's to Mount Ogden the trail had not been made. However, the snow was fairly well crusted It was only perhaps every 15 or 20 steps that one would break through, he would then sink in to the hips. To get out of such a hole it was necessary to crawl on hand and knees for a few feet, before the snow was strong enough to bear the body weight. Uneventful was the remainder of the climb until within an hour of the top. When, just at the foot of the last steep assent, a great cloud settled upon the mountain; soft and white at first but soon dark and threatening. So dense did it become, that to see more than a few feet was impossible. A fine frozen mist began to fall. Just keep climbing up, was the only thing to do. Not very pleas ant of course, but safe so long as we felt ourselves going up. So difficult was the climb by now, and so depressing the surrounding, that the little party fell into silence. When within a hundred feet of the top, the great cloud rolled back like a gigantic veil, revealing, thru the sun sparkled mist the great steel flagpole. Joyous shouts broke from the lips of the weary and legsore band Instead of the usual cold wind which in past years has swept over the top from We ber Valley down into Ogden and Morgan Valleys, the sun beat down in true July style, reflecting back from the top of the clouds, which filled the valley and canyons unti frozen trousers and cold feet and hands were soon warm and steaming.

The total enrollment has fallen down slightly due to lack of funds in some cases, lack of ambition in some, and probably to the effects of spring fever in others. However, the majority of the students came back with new life and more determination to succeed in their line. We at least have one satisfaction this quarter and that is that the school will be the result of the operation of the old law the survival of the fittest." The process of "culling out is g'Oing on continually in Weber, where only those with enough ambition to make them have initiative and leadership can long remain. Of course there are a few exceptions to the rule. We cannot expect this process to be thorough in its operation in the beginning. Some students with, very little ambition remain in school and some students who are very energetic find it necessary to leave. Since many Weber students are training for teachers it is expected that they have much initiative and executive ability, and we are assured that the activities of the spring quarter will be put over in a rousing manner. However, those who have returned this quarter can very easily make the school a social and scholastic success. It is anticipated that they will put their new spring energy to work in the chool activities as well as their studies. To be a small student body doesn't mean that the activiies are fewer. It simply means that they may be on a smaller scale. This is not to be regretted, because it merely means tha a much larger percentage of the students are permitted to take part. Thus it is really a great advantage.Nor are the activities in all cases to be on a smaller scale. Tiiose calling for outside attendance may be on just as large a scale as in the larger schools. BOARD OF CONTROL VICTORIOUS IN THRILLING HOOP BATTLE The Board of Control came out victorious in a thrilling hoop contest with the Faculty Thursday noon. The game was replete with thrills from start to finish, with the score in doubt until the last minute of play. At the half the tally stood 6-6. Beus was high point man, scoring four baskets for his team. Brown and Poulter twinkled for the Faculty. The Faculty has had a hard time this season and were not in the best physical trim, making it necessary for them to play by proxy. Bill, the janitor, represented Dr. Lind in the memorable fracas ; C. Brown substituted for Prof. Blaylock, Ray Poulter for Oborn, James Lindsay for Dr. Terry and Parker for Prof. Jensen. The Board of Control was represented by D. Kennedy, H. Jacobs, H. Cortez; R. Beus and V. Tanner. ' It is to the credit of Mr. Tanner that a tradition has not passed out of Weber this year. We must have that Faculty and Student Body game. |
