Show Page Two WEBER HERALD OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS STUDENTS We as students are loaded down with responsibilities which, (absorb our leisure time, and require much brain power to fulfill. Our mothers anG fathers have high ideals for us. They think that we are very popular though we never do anything lively; so our first responsibility is to them. We must not let their air castles come clattering down around their ears. It is our business to let them float gradually away. We must, to use a slang expression, pull the wool over their eyes. They are too worried and busy to bother about writing excuses for a trip to Tom's so it is our duty to write them for ourselves.Teachers lead a dull life, especially the ladies who have no matrimonial joys and so it's our duty to liven it up We must keep them guessing. Any teacher would rather write an "A" than a "A Condition" on our cards. Hence in order to make this easy for them, we must be good bluffers and rot hesitate to report "Prepared" whether so or not. Our principal duty, however, is to ourselves. We came to school to prepare for future life. We should, above an, cultivete the art of doing two things at a time, that is, to be able to chat while we get all we can out of reading our text book but once. We ought to be able to look back on our school days like this: Monday was the day we went thru Men who know Quality Buy Here. Where Do You Buy? Ogden Barber Supply Co. 318 25lh Street B. F.

Don't Desert the Ship Near Dresden is the little town of Meissen where one of the largest china factories in the world is located. Tourists often remain for hours in the moulding room of this immense factory and wonder at the remarkable skill and speed with which the moulders form perfect dishes of all descriptions. All the mechanical assistance they have is a small machine, similiar to an old fashioned grindstone, which the moulder operates by a tread wheel. The workman sits upon a stool and treads with the left foot while the right leg hangs limp. When asked if their left leg did not get dreadfully tired through such continuous use the moulders all exclaimed, "It is not the , leg that we use that gives us trouble. ' It s the one that remains idle." Our school is like the workman, It has a leg that works and one that is usually idle. At this time of the year the workers are full of vigor and enthusiasm while the idlers are dropping out of school from sheer fatigue. They forget the plea of the United States Commissioner Claxton urging them to remain in school, and they are likewise unmoved by the data that has been gathered by the United States Department of Education which proves that every day in school is worth $9.02 to the student. Of course there are many students leaving who go to farms and have a legitimate excuse, these we wish unbounded success in their patriotic work, but, besides these there are many who are discontinuing for no legitimate reason whatever, to these we say "Look before you leap." H. A. D. the back door over to Tom's in the fourth period. Tuesday was the day we took snap shots over in the park and got into such trouble with Savage. Wednesday I made such a dunce of myself with that "Ideal Husband". Thursday Kate and I sluffed chapel in order to post a letter. Friday we spent all day talking about the Junior Prom that night. The old saying "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die" has been changed to "Sluff, bluff and be foolish for in a few years we will beold-fashioned." Rather than follow the proverb, "Work while you work and play while you play," we practice the new song, "You can be youths but once." Helen Hinckley. GIRLS MAKE BIG GAIN (Continued from First Page.) may enjoy the pleasant (?) experience which we so frequently have, of accompanying themselves to a movie or Pan show. And yet, fellows don't think us heartless. Altho we can get along without, we shall come back to spend the evening with you in dancing at Weber. Even here, too, we need your assistance, for when you see the girls with flushed cheeks and shaky knees coming toward you. do not run off but make it as easy as possible for them to ask you to escort them to the dance, where you had best treat them cordially, for the girls have the choice of partners and you may become a wall flower. A bore is a man who talks so much about himself that you can't talk about yourself. "Pat, how would you like to be buried in the new grave yard?" "Faith, and o'll die first." An Irish lover said, "It's a great comfort to be alone, especially when your sweetheart's wid ye." THE AUTO AS AN ADJUNCT TO MATRIMONY Since the time Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, there have been various methods of courtship, chiefly: "For Sale," "Eloping" and "The Shortest Way Home." The latter has been the one of our most civilized times. By that I mean up to twenty years or so ago when Mr. Ford first took four silk spools and. an old tomato can, and put them together and the thing ran. Of course they were a novelty then, and all a fellow needed to do to get a "Jane" was to save up his nickels until he got five dollars to invest in a ford, and fifty cents for his year's supply of "hot air," then to call around to her home and honk. Since then, however, they have been getting more common day by day. yet cupid is still retaining an auto as his big trap. Now it is, "Plas that boy a car?" "Yep, a swell one." "Say, introduce him to me, will you?" Of course good looks for a fellow counts a little, but the old saying goes (changed a trifle) "A good auto covers a multitude of freckles." Speaking of eloping, it used to be "Down the Ladder and Run." Now it is "Give her more gas, George, the old man is gaining on us." John Emmett.
