Many brave knights lost their lives trying to capture the monster in Pantouflia. But the hero, Priggio, finally succeeded in killing the fire drake. Priggio, very stately and hand-rome, is too clever to be popular. He never speaks to anyone except for the purpose of imparting information. One day he asked the daughter of the Spanish ambassa dor, Rosa, whether he would ever be loved. Was he? You must find out for yourself. Elija Clawson is Priggio, and Melba Douglas, Rosa. The wise man of Pantouflia oh, very, very-wise is Carl Ballentyne. Molinda, Georgia Tate, of course raptures a handsome young man, Paul Cragun, who plays the part of Alnhonso. Enrico could win the favor and love of almost anyone, including Kathleena, Myra Wright. Of course he always agrees with his older brothers, which is a very wise thing for Rulon Peterson to do. A very .iolly king except to his. wife and Priggio is (found in Wallace Budge. The queen is greatlv disturbed because the king's chickens scratch up her garden. There never have been such wise rulers! - ""ic Di.cDeia, Mary F'W-!:. " is very dignified and ret on having her own way. ' . Very pretty cos'tumes will be worn by the chorus, and the dances and music will be beautiful. The students are assured a treat in the opera which the music department is presenting this year. WEBER CAPTURES THIRD PLACE IN BASKET BALL By defeating Morgan by a score of 4 8 to 22, Weber finished the season in third place. Weber lost, by narrow margins, the first four games of the season, but since that time her team has won steadily. If her luck had come earlier in the season she would undoubtedly have gone to the tournament, since she defeated the leading team in the division, Davis. Tn the Morgan game Weber started scoring early in the first half and was not in danger of losing the lead at any time. Although the game was one-sided throughout, it was interesting. Budee was the scorer for Weber and Kingston for Morgan. Parry was taken out early in the game because .of an iniury received in a "mixup." The biggest feature was a sensational basket made bv Hickman when he caged the ball from his guarding territory. Hickman holds the record of not missine a basket in two years. The other stars were Budge, Hill and Couch for Weber. WEBER Fd. G. Fl. G. T. P. Budge, rf 4 8 16 Parrv. If 1 0 2 Watkins, c 5 0 tn Lindsay, rg 4 0 8 Hickman, lg 10 2 Couch.

WEBER STUDENTS TO APPEAR IN OPERA '"'Powder and Paint" to Be Presented at Orpheum A number of students from Weber Normal College will, take part in the production of the comic opera, "Powder and Paint," which will be presented at the Orpheum some time in April. The opera is to be given under the auspices of the Mutual Improvement Associations of the Ogden, Weber, and North Weber stakes. The director is Professor Wallace Reed. The production will be excellent, for the best singers and dancers of Ogden are to be chosen for the cast. The heroine, Fluffy Ruffles, is a chorus girl who develops in the course of the play into a very fine character. Two stenographers of New York furnish a great deal of humor. The old man of the play is the villain, and the son is the hero. The story tells of the business of the old man, who manufactures powder and paint for the feminine trade. His son invents a means of naturally beautifying the complexion, and the complication develops around their rivalry. A very good moral is taught by the opera. Some of the students of Weber who will be included in the cast are: Bert Leishman, Tottie Hart, Frank Douglas, Ray Ballentyne, Carl Ballantyne, Irvine Hull, Francis O'Neill, Evelyn Hinckley, Hazel Stone, Melba Douglas, Wallace Budge, Elija Clawson and Paul Cragun.There is a great deal of catchy music and pretty dancing throughout the opera. "I get a penny every time I take my cod liver oil." "What do you do with them?'' "Mother puts 'em in a money box till there's enough and then buys another bottle of cod liver oil. "Tommy," said his mother tearfully, "It gives me as much pain as it r'oes you to punish you." Tommy (also tearfully). "Maybe it does but not in the same place." TERRY SUFFERS A BROKEN RIB IN GAME William Z. Terry, star center for the faculty, had one of his ribs broken in a mix-up during the game played between the faculty hoop stars and the College five. In the next faculty game, this player will wear a "keep off" sign, for "safety first." the ope D. O. McKay And Board Members Visit Weber On Wednesday, March 9, Apostle David 0.: M-cKay honored the students of Weber by speaking at Weber Normal College on his experiences in the Orient. This was the first talk given by Apostle McKay since his return to the United States. Members of :he school board were present. After three violin selections by Miss Fisher, Schumann's "Trau-merei," "The Viei nesse Dream," and the "Cane Bisak," President Ricks introduced tYf. speaker. Apostle McKay repeated the first stanza of "Home Sweet Home." "This is the first white audience I have seen since left. But the three months that I have been gone have changed my attitude toward the brown race. I have found that when we meet theiii with the idea of learning from :hem instead of criticizing, we find much that is worthy of our emulation. "Perhaps you will be more interested in the people than in the countrv. When we stopped and saw from the train the old ruined walls of China, we decide; to get a kodak and take pictures, but we had not gone a rod before we were surrounded bv the mist pitiful siehts of humanity. It vas in January and the weather ,:;'s below zero. posed to the cohl,--thev were raeged and shivering. So we photographed them instead of the wall." Annstle McKay then spoke of the terrible conditions in China, a countrv rich in natural resources. Fe told also of several instances il-li'strfitins: the courtesy of the people of China and Japan. "There are several lessons wp should learn from the Orient." he continued, "and one is the lesson of courtesy and respect toward strangers. Another is the lesson "Thi"h tepches us to reserve judgment until we are sure of what we say. "We are accustomed to treat with contempt the people of brown skin whom we meet in our country. But under the brown skin beats a heart that is warm and true." President McKay stated that he was not unmindful of the danger impending to the United States because of the aggressive attitude of TaDan. He then summed up his impressions of the countries vividly bv saving, "One might call Japan splendid, China interesting, Hawaii beautiful: the people of Japan arp verile. those of China decrepit, and those of Hawaii loveable." Apostle McKay stated that in the near future many missionaries will be sent to the Orient. Both men and women will be needed. "God help vou. when the c."V comes, to realize the greatness of your mission. The souls of these brown folk are just as white as the soul of any Caucasian." The students thoroughly enjoyed the talk of Anostle MeKav, and feel Grateful for the inspiration he ha brought from the Orient. He will leave in the near future for a trip o the missions of Europe to see conditions there. DAUGHTERS OF THE PIONEERS TO GIVE $1000 TO "GYM' Mrs. W. H. Reeder, Jr., vice-president of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, called a meeting in which the members of the association voted 1o raise $1000 for the Weber Gymnasium. At once they contributed $325 toward the total amount. Several big events are planned for this spring to raise the remainder of the $J000, according to the statement made by Mrs. Reeder. College To Present A Clever Comedy JUNIOR PROM TO BE BIG EVENT Plans for the Junior Prom to be held April 8 are now being made, and the committee promises that this will be the best Prom ever given by Weber students. Leon Bush, the president of the Junior class, called a meeting on Thursday, March 10, to discuss plans and get information regarding the Prom this year. Full details have not been 'definitely decided upon. The invitations will be ready by the first of April. Decorations will be a big feature, for it is expected that all Juniors will get behind the movement and make it a success. The Berthana hall will be used, and excellent music will be furnished. Several surprises are promised by the committee in charge of arrangements. The Prom will .undoubtedly be the biggest social event of the year. WEBER'S "STATE CHAMPS" HONORED IN DEVOTIONAL .st and Director of "The Lost Paradise" Give , Short Talks On Tuesday, March 2, Weber's "state champions in drama," whose play "The Lost Paradise" had been so successful at the Orpheum the night before, spoke to the students in devotional. President Ricks introduced Mrs. McKey, saying: "We wish the guiding genius, the director, to respond to the idea -'All the world's a stage'." Mrs.. McKey thanked the students for their support, the cast for its work and also the others whose work behind the scenes had made the play successful. She said that her work as a director kept her busy watching the book, tending the whistle, the telephone, the anvil, the shouts outside, and the furnace, so that she had but little opportunity to see the performance. She was very pleased, however, with the work of the students in interpreting the drama. President Ricks then called for the "poor little lame, girl" and Cora Mortenson told of the thrill a player gets when s.tanding in the wings listening for the little bell which means the curtain is going up. She expressed thanks for the appreciative audience. "We will hear from the lover of the play. You all know where he got his training." Leon Bush replied that he was not the only one in the plav who "was wise to the love stuff." Continued on Page 4 (After the game with Davis) Francis Browning, to Miss Noble, "I could just love you." Miss Noble, "I feel that way, too." Did you notice the blush on Mr. Larson's face when he was before Judee Bush? I wonder why Did you notice that Miss Noble seemed to enjov herself during the court on the 23rd? "LOST PARADISE" TO GO TO LOGAN On March 25, the cast will take "The Lost Paradise" to Logan. They will play in Nibley Hall. Joseph Anderson, and Professor Barrett are making all arrangements for the trip. "Amazons" to Be Directed by Mrs. Brennan Tomorrow night the students and patrons of Weber will have an opportunity to enjoy a very clever comedy, "The Amazons," presented by the College students in Wtber auditorium. The play has a most entertaining love story, a queer turn being given by the fact that each girl is brought up by Lady Castlejordan to look, think and act exactly like a boy. And then when she returns from London and finds them acting very, very much like girls well you must see the end for yourself.Should you like to see Ira Terry taken suddenly with cramps? Dave Bybee sprawled upon the ground with a swollen eye? Barbara Sprague doing stunts with dumbells in a gym suit, and kissing but there, it must not be told. Then there is Josie Robins who admits she is a boy and is proud of it, and her . sister, Hattiebelle Shields, who is ashamed of wearing trousers but is afraid to admit it. Leroy Johnson is winning as a lover who will, as he says, follow a Dretty face even if he does see it first in trousers. And Mary Ensign is the pretty face. William ptuki chr,...-not above telling a. lie- if properly paid. And Ira as "Tweeny" loves persistently despite h is . many aches and pains. ".'O f David Bybee, as -le FL'toichman with English ways says "Damn it all" frequently, bo.h in cast and out especially when he scrubs. Golden Fisher makes a most solemn Reverend, and Louise Browning an autocratic mother. Art Hutchens has a rough and ready fist and musses up the Lords a bit. The "dresses" of the ladies are well, different! The scenery is being specially built, the rope by which Terry and Bvbee descend from the skylight having been alreadyinstalled. WEBER WINS FAST GAME FROM DEAF March 8 ended the hoop season for the Weber basket throwers when they were victorious over the Dummies on their floor. The game started with Budge throwing the first basket. From that time on, the game was nip and tuck for both sides, though the final score stood 3 6 to 2 8 in favor of Weber. When the whistle announced the end of the first half the score stood 16 to 9 in favor of the Weber five. When the whistle sounded for the second half, the Deaf players took a better hold and succeeded in tying the score. The game was fast and interesting. Although this was not a league game the spectators from the Green and White and the Purple and White found it an exciting contest. The sixth man from Weber was not much in evidence, but the cheering was enthusiastic and encouraged the team to victory. WEBER Fd. G. Fl. G. T. P.
