The one in September will be in the form ot a pageant. The stake superintenden-cies anticipate an attendance of from hfteen to twenty thousand Sunday school members. Miss Ellen Thomas is chairman of the general committee working to make the pageant a phenomenal success. Other committees assisting are comprised of the members of each stake superintendency.

PRESIDENT JOEL E. RICKS ACCEPTS POSITION AT A. C. The years of 1020-21-22 wre periods of many attainments and accomplishments for Weber, and the character who was partially responsible for this success was President Joel E. Ricks. His work was invaluable to the progress of our school. For four years he labored for the advancement of Weber, and very little of that work was known to the students, for he did not work for fame for himself, but for the fame of the college. His first years at Weber were spent as a history instructor and director of the history department. The large number of students that attended his classes showed what a valuable asset he was as a teacher. His courses were always interesting because his arguments were clear; his theories- substantial; his illustrations apt, and his reasons logical. His resources were drawn from personal experiences and practical observation in the every day affairs of real life, as well as from his exhaustless knowledge of books. In looking back over x Prof essor Ricks' stay at Weber, we find no struggle for effect, no ambitious grasping for power, no drawing apart from the students. We see only the straight forward progress of a man of fine abilities and sound judgment, who, by the force of his intellect and his honorable fulfillment of every duty which he faced, rose to distinction not only in his school but in his city and state as well. We see him filling his offices with efficiency and dignity, respected by all his fellow workers and students. The students of Weber College cherish a feeling of respect toward Professor Ricks, and they extend to him wishes for success in his work at the Utah Agricultural college as professor of history. GIRLS TO DO BIG THINGS THIS YEAR Three rah's for the Girls' Association.This organization is composed of all the girls in the high school student body. It therefore is one of the liveliest, peppiest, most enthusiastic organizations in Weber College. Through the earnest efforts of the girls and their offieers many things, both educational and social, are accomplished.Weber has always been proud of this association and for the ideals for which it stands. First of all, it stands for loyalty to our organization and to our leaders. Next, for a high standard of education, and the elements of character which will produce a successful and happy life. It supports clean sportsmanship, and leads in the social life of the school. The officers in this association, which are composed of a president and secretary-treasurer, give during the year some of the best programs and most brilliant affairs. This year it will endeavor to show such enthusiasm and patriotism as Weber has never before witnessed. It will be behind the boys in all of their athletics yes, we will even follow them to the tournament and help to bring back the state honors. We will stand back of our debaters, orators, publications, operas and plays, and all which loyalty demands we support. Boys, watch out! We plan to give you some of the best programs and dances of the year; in fact, the biggest dance, the "Girls' Dance," which you will have the pleasure of attending. And girls! Our girls' show, we hope to make a thriller. That is the night we lock the doors on the boys. On Girls' day we hope to show the fellows the time of their lives. Elaborate plans will be made for this, our big day. During the events of this program we will escort the boys and show them what sports the girls really are. So be prepared, fellows, for the best time of your school year. Again this year we hope to hold the annual high school Weber leap-year ball, to be given by the Girls' associations of the schools. This we hope will be a very elegant affair; you all may expect to spend an enjoyable evening.All, in the Girls association this year is going to show some real true soirit and "pep," so be prepared. The girls are ar going to do things, for this is to be our banner year. .ii i in m in i in immii mi mi ii in i mini ii ii.; Society News r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Mr. Llewellyn McKay, president of the Weber H. S. student body, has just recently returned from an extended trip, which included a tour of the Yellowstone National park and Grand canyon. Miss Helen Rhees, a former student of the Weber College, departs Tuesday, August 22, for Battle Creek, Michigan, where she is to attend college.Ray Scoville, secretary and treasurer of the student association, left some time ago on a tour of the Pacific coast. He anticipates returning for the opening of school. Perhaps the students will be pleased to hear of the engagement of Miss Alice Tippetts to Joseph Anderson. At the present time Mr. Anderson is in Germany fulfilling a mission for the L. D. S. Church. Miss Tippetts has been attending summer school at the A. C. Miss Myra Wright, president of the Public Service bureau, spent her vacation in Richmond visiting with relatives and friends. Among the several students who have spent their vacations at Bear Lake this summer are the Misses Thelma Shurtliff and Inez Jeppson. Leslie Christensen, Herald editor of last year, has spent the greater part of the summer in Idaho. Lawrence Budge, president of the Senior class, has spent the summer in Malad, Idaho. Miss Nan Emmett anticipates spending a week in Eden as the guest of Miss Theo Carver. Miss Georgia Tate, a former student of the college, has left for California where she will enter college. Elder R. Stanley Rhees, student body president of 1920, who has fulfilled a mission in the northern states mission for the L. D. S. Church, is now spending a few weeks in Canada, visiting with friends and relatives. He will return home in the very near future and is planning to take up college work at the University of Utah. Miss Lou Jean McKay entertained a number of friends at her summer home in Huntsville at a party in honor of Professor Squire Coop and his wife, formerly the renouned oratorio singer, Miss Marjorie Dodge of Chicago. The evening was diverted to games, music and dancing. Mrs. Coop, accompanied at the piano by her husband, sang several selections during the evening. At the close of the evening dainty refreshments were served to all present. THE GROWTH OF WEBER In the year 1888 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints inaugurated a more extended program of Church school education. Inasmuch as religious training was practically excluded from the public schools, letters were sent to the presidencies of the various stakes urging them to establish academies in order to foster religious training and moral development among the young. In conformity with the import of the letter addressed to Lewis W. Shurtliff, president of the Weber stake, the brethren of the priesthood were called together to consider the matter. They decided to organize a board of education and to establish the Weber Stake Academy. Accordingly, the board was organized with the three members of the stake presidency, Lewis W. Shurtliff, Charles F. Middleton, Nils C. Flygare; one member of the high council, Joseph Stanford; three bishops, Robert McQuar-rie of the Second ward, Thomas J. Stevens of the Fifth ward, David McKay of the Huntsville ward, and Prof. Louis F. Moench, who had gained considerable reputation as a teacher in Weber -county and Ogden City, and who was to become the first principal of th school. Through the effort of this board the Weber Stake Academy -was established. Temporary quarters were secured in the Second Ward meeting house, Ogden, where the school was formally opened January 7, 1889, with Louis F. Moench as principal. The attendance, though small at first, increased so rapidly that it was found necessary to secure better accommodations. Plans were made for the erection of a permanent building on Jefferson avenue. In the meantime the school was moved from the Second ward to the Ogden Tabernacle, and later to the Fifth Ward institute. The first building on the present site was ready for use in the fall of 1892, and the school moved to its present home. Since that time it has been necessary to enlarge the building. In 1907 a new building, built on the west of the original building, was completed and ready for use when the school opened in the fall. In 1917 it was again necessary to provide temporary quarters for some of the classes. For this purpose the Grix residence, a large two-story brick building, was remodeled and converted into class rooms. The School of Music and some other classes were moved to that building. At the present time a magnificent gymnasium is in course of construction. The name of the school has been changed a number of times to express the periods of growth. When the old Weber stake was divided into three new stakes, the name of the school was changed from Weber Stake Academy to Weber Academy. After the school took up college work and began to specialize on the training of teachers, the name of the school was changed, to express this new function, to the Weber Normal College. The change of the name was made in 1918. However, the school had been giving college work for two years before this. With the opening of the school this fall, 1922, the school will be reorganized into two distinct departments the senior high school, consisting of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth years of school; and the college, consisting of two full years of college work. The name of the school has been changed to the Weber College. An inquiry: We would like Professor Manning to narrate the event which surrounded the disfigurement of his right eye. Boost your school to Mount Ogden. BOARD OF CONTROL TO BE EXCEPTIONAL (Continued From Page One) is a good student, all round athlete, a good mixer, a friend to all, in short, wholesome. Our vice president, Miss Nan Emmett, who for two years has had splendid experience as an executive worker, will now have an opportunity to put into practical use her hard earned experience. She is a friend of every student, and an enemy of loafers. Ray Scoville, secretary and treasurer, the English student of the school, is specially known for his neatness, care and interest in his work. We may count on Ray for having the statistics of our school up to date and in good order. Lawrence Budge, the student who succeeds in all he does, is going to lead the highty Senior class. We expect this class to do great things under President Budge's leadership. The Junior Class this year is led by Ted Woods, an apt and live student. This class' success last year will inevitably increase under President Wood's leadership. The president of the college and the college classes, besides the president of the Sophomores in the high school, will be elected at the opening of school. The college members of the board will no doubt be leaders in every respect, as we anticipate a large number at Weber on college registration day. The responsibility of conducting school affairs in a college way, and engender at Weber a college spirit, will largely depend on those elected to represent the college student body in the seat of our school government. THE M'HOOSH MYSTERIES NO. 1 SIR LESTER'S DILEMMA I had finished my morning tub, and with the soap securely in my trouser pocket, sat at by breakfast. I was at that moment occupied with a particularly interesting advertisement exploiting the horrid dangers and sorrows besetting those who thoughtlessly neglected to use Blank's shaving cream. My flesh creeping with the horror and shame of it all, I lifted my coffee cup to my lips and gulped down the contents. I felt a sort of an object floating on the surface brush my lips. I set the cup down and found a small cork bobbing about in it. As I investigated further I discovered a small phial lying in the bottom of the cup. My gaze immediately shifted to Parkins, my valet, who sat in a far corner, mending the trouser seat of my dinner suit. What was the blooming idiot up to, anyhow? I had surprised him at something wften I came out of my bedroom. Other peculiar circumstances had tended to make me suspicious of his honesty of purpose. Only yesterday I had caught him emptying the coffee grounds into my tobacco jar, and a week after Christmas my new tooth brush had disappeared. Dammit, I'd have to speak to him about it. "Parkins," said I. Yes, sir." And the door bell rang. "Excuse me, sir," said Parkins and left to answer it. "A gentleman to see vou. sir. 'e never gave no name." ' Well, 1 said, fuming inwardly over the interruption, "show him in." The fellow who entered was a figure that I think I shall not forget for a long time. His short, aggressive body was surmounted by a square head. His eyes were dark and sombre, but possessing a singular force that could be felt immediately. His ears were a trifle large, but I found later that he always tucked them under the grey derby that he held in his hand, at that moment. In spite of his solid manner, I could perceive somewhat that he was not entirely at his ease. He shifted from one foot to the other and scratched his ankles. "Mosquito bites," I decided. "I am Sir Lester Lillywhite," he finally announced. "Hm," said I, and succeeded in dislodging a crust of bread that had fixed itself in my tooth. I took it out and examined it critically not the tooth, the crust, rather. "Well, well," I suggested by way of encouragement, a brilliant idea came to me. "And how does your corporosity saggasitate this morning?""Ah," he said darkly, "that's the trouble." "What is?" I asked politely. "I don't know." He heaved a sigh of despair. This was astounding. For a moment I could not think. At last I managed to regain my faculty of speech. "What does your mother call your name by when you are home?" His face brightened visibly. "That is the very crux of the trouble, sir. To be frank, I fear I have got myself into a frightful mess of trouble and the devilish part about it is that its all so damned devilish, sir, that it makes me feel so, wellah ." "Devilish," I suggested. "Yes, that's the word, devilish; that's just the way I feel now." This was really startling. I immediately sat up in my chair and gave my best attention to my peculiar visitor. The circumstances were evidently most unusual. In fact the most unusual that had come under my observation during my whole career as a detective. Sir Lillywhite, who had seated himself at the beginning of the interview, now hitched his chair closer and, in a subdued, confidential tone of voice, whispered: "It's positively rummy, sir, and I don't like it at all." This last statement brought a gasp from me. Which is all the more unusual in view of the fast that I pride myself on my self control more than any other quality that I happen to possess. I turned the matter rapidly over in my mind. Now what? What now? Why was all this thus? Evi For Sanitary The Economy 2450 Washington Avenue dently, I concluded to myself, things were not hitting right with Sir Lester. On this presumption I based my next remark. "Well, sir, I hardly know where to begin." "Do," I said, and scratched my left ear. That is, I scratched where my left ear had been, for I had, inadvertently, it seems, shaved it off that morning. Thinking of it then, curiously enough, annoyed me. It had been a good ear and it was with no inconsiderable regret that I had thrown it in the ink well after serving it so unfortunately. I observed that Sir Lester had now taken a rutabaga from his pocket and he was peeling it with a certain amount of care. He suddenly looked up. Already he looked ten years older than he must have looked ten years before. It was startling. But even then I could not suppress a sigh of regret for the loss of my auricle. But I am not known to be a sentimental person. My strange client had now finished his repast and had seated himself on a keg of pickles across the room. "The whole thing is this," he began with a hint of desperation in his voice and suddenly stopped short, placed his derby on his head, tucked in his ears and left the apartment. A moment later, as I gazed out of the window, I saw him walking rapidly away to the south, which was a peculiar circumstance inNview of the fact that he was obviously headed north. (I afterwards came into this apparent solution of this phenomenon by reasoning that he was walking backwards.) This was the last I saw of Sir Lester alive. A few hours later came the news that he had dropped dead in the Soho. It seems that a motor bus had approached him rather violently and had knocked him down against his better judgment. And so, Sir Lester Lillywhite's dilemma will always be a mystery to me, but the most inexplicable thing about it all is this: Why didn't some bus f liver run him down before he came to my apartment ?
