About this time of the year students are beginning to get discouraged, and to think the tasks which lie before them are too many and too difficult, that they shall be unable to find time to do all the term-papers, to write all the themes re-quired, and to study all the lessons which the teachers continue to assign. This is the time of the year, when these students who are disappointed in their idea of college lose interest and drop out. This year, we are very happy to say that such has not been so strongly the case. A few days ago in Devotional, President Tracy announced that the number of students who have quit thus far is considerably smaller than last year at the same time. Such an announcement is indeed encouraging. Somehow, we do not like the sound of the word "quit", it is too closely associated with that other word, "quitter", an appellation no one likes to have associated with his name. Can it be that the students this year are of a finer type than before as prophecied by Mf". Blay-lock at the beginning of the year? It is our belief that they are, and we wish to commend them upon their splendid attitude of determination to finish that which they have started. Take courage, fellow-students; your tasks are not so hard as they seem. Follow them through to completion and you will find the greatest satisfaction' in life the satisfaction that comes only to him who has triumphed over difficulties. -W- Albion, We Thank You. We wish to take this opportunity to express to our sincere appercia-tion to the Albion State Normal School for the wonderful manner in which our football delegation was received in your city last Saturday. Your Homecoming Day exercises made us feci perfectly at home, and the splendid dinner, program, and dance made the day one we will long remember. The sportsmanship of your team upon the field was of the highest type, and all in all, we salute t he Cardinal and Black! HERE AND THERE Miss Meda Walker who graduated from this institution last year and is now teaching in her home town of Vernal, Utah, visited the school last week and left her subscription to the Herald. Thanks, Meda. 00O00 Miss Alta Byrne, Acorn Queen in 193-1, now teaching in Cobre, Nevada, visited the college Monday and scattered her winning smile about the campus. 00O00 Jimmy Ing, Weber's all-conference fullback last season and intermoun-tain 140 pound boxing champion in 1930, is in our midst again. Jimmy is working hard on a National Guard appointment to West Point, and is preparing for his next examination at Fort Douglas. ooOoo Weber students thank the management of the Paramount and Or-pheum theatres for the generous concession honoring the college student-body ticket. ooOoo Odell Ingram, a present Weber student, was recently married to Miss Packer of Brigham City. Congratulations. VV In Memoriam The students of Weber College wish to express their sincere sympathy to Sarah Kendall, who has recently lost her mother. We realize the impotency of any words we might offer at such a time. We can only quote those which have comforted so many in their time of bereavement : "The Lord has given and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." i Pullman Tailors J 2311 Washington SUIT and O'COAT Both For $20 Workmanship and Fit Guaranteed This ad good for $2.00 Credit on Suit or O'Coat Author of "News and Views" Addresses W eber Assemblage (Continued from Page 1.) to destroy the education system in that city." Faith In Weber "Now we hear the echoes of other forces at work trying to destroy this school. I would say to you young people that there is something in my heart that attaches me to this institution because I have seen it grow. I have great faith in the leadership here and in the men and women who are devoting themselves to your cause. I have seen tins grow out or a dream a hope, and aspirations of a man and those about him; building into their hearts and souls something they thought might meet their dreams or their expectations." Vash Young Mentioned In that connection I am recalling Vash Young's book Let's Start Over Again", perhaps you have read it. He is an outstanding writer of Utah's earliest life, and now one of the outstanding insurance men of the United States. In this book he tells of a fire that burns down a home and so he pictures in the embers the husband and wife raking in the embers just as people do in extreme distress and perhaps searching out a keepsake from the ruins of their home. A neighbor came over to them and said: "Well, this is sad" and the wife said "Yes, all is gone" and the husband said "Yes, all is gone" and they said, "We have lost our home ; there is no place for us ; there is no shelter to protect us from the chilly world". The neighbor said, "No, you haven't lost a home because if all the people who have had their houses burned down had lost their homes then there would be a great multitude out in the woods. You haven't lost your home. Tonight you will be sheltered in our home and you will remain there just as long as you wish to. "Do you know what has burned down? A house has burned down. Your home is in your heart and in your very soul, and if you have the courage and if you believe firmly enough and if you have the vision that home will rise more beautifully out of your faith. And from the things as they are, your home will again rise and you will plan and then, they said, 'Let's start over again.'" And so I liken that somewhat to this institution, that you have had your time of stress and of strain and of uncertainty and you have been building because you have had faith and vision and hope and your teachers have drawn you close to them. I am an advocate of an is-stitution of this kind in which the young people are brought in close contact with their instructors." Weber Beauticians Are Progressing -w- College Trio Livens Democratic Rally A girls trio consisting of Ruth Greaves, Doris Wangsgard, and Y'vonne Pierce sang two very melodious numbers at the Democratic Rally of Nov. 5. The large audience thoroughly enjoyed the numbers. The Weber School of Beauticians, under the supervision' of Mrs. Stra-ton is progressing rapidly. At present, nineteen enthusiastic girls are enrolled. In the morning they hold a class in theory, and in the afternoon they serve the public. All work done by the girls is properly supervised. In order to protect the patrons which it is serving, the school has adopted 'cleanliness" as its motto. After Mr. W. S. Golding, Head of Registration Department had visited the school, he stated, "Every thing is as I would like to have it." Mr. Harrison, State Inspector of Sanitation and Sterilization, also highly commended the school. rSi I Keeley's 'Best By Test" 2463 Washington Ave. FOUNTAIN, CANDIES and H m s LUNCH M 2305 Washington Ave. COLLEGE CORDS In The Latest Models and Colors $1.98 $2.98 COLONIAL THEATRE Coming Attractions Today and Tomorrow THIS IS THE NIGHT Friday and Saturday CHEATERS AT PLAY Sunday - Monday - Tuesday TARZEN THE APE MAN Wednesday - Thursday RESERVED FOR LADIES Friday and Saturday AFTER TOMORROW Sunday - Monday - Tuesday ROAD TO RENO |
