The question whether to adopt a non-wool uniform for the boys underwent considerable discussion and finally came . up to be voted upon Monday, Dec. 10', when it was decided to adopt the uniform, as. per example exhibited, March 15, 1918. The cause was championed by Pres. E. L. Wilkenson who contended that it would be economicr.l, conservative, and eliminate clannish-ness or cliques in the student body. The opponents of the cause were upper classmen, headed by Andrew Kasius, who opposed the measure on the ground that it would not be eco nomical, as a large percentage of boys had purchased their supply of school clothes, that it was not necessary to conserve the wool and if so its adoption would not cause a decrease in the manufacture of citizens' w;ool clothing. The argume-J. j that it would eliminate "cliques" in the school was refuted with the argument that the "person with a dollar has a friend," no matter how he is dressed. Finally the main issue was the proper time for adoption. The opponents of the cause acceded their points but maintained that the present time was inopportune for . its adoption, and recommended that the inauguration of the idea be postponed indefinitely. The advocates realizing the inclement conditions of the weather compromised and suggested that it be adopted March 15, (Continued on page 4.) WIN "FOUR BITS" RIGHT NOW FIND THE MIS-SPELLED WORDS .

At the last meeting of the school board they accepted Miss Montgomery's resignation and filled the office, as . registrar, with Miss Sylvia Barlow. When interviewed by a representative of the Herald, Miss Montgomery did not care to discuss the matter freely, which caused the writer to draw the conclusion that she is preparing to embark upon the sea of matrimony. Just who the lucky man is to be she would not tell. Of course there might not be much truth in these statements, but the students must have a reason and this is the best one and the most probable the writer could manufacture. Whatever her next enterprise may be, Ivliss Montgomery carries with her the best wishes of the student body and staff, for unlimited success. It its marriage . may the succes be doubled. Miss Barlow is a former member of the school, having attended with class '15. Since that time she has served on a mission in the Eastern states for the Mormon church. We welcome Miss Barlow among us and wish her success in her new labors. JUNIORS STAGE BIG CLASS PARTY One of the most successful class parties held in the school this year occurred last Friday night. The affair was a party given by .he members of the Junior class and was the initial event held in our social room. Some thirty-five students were in attendance and after a program of readings, songs, and musical selections by prominent members of the class, a program of dances was indulged in. . About 9:30 the crowd went down town to a "noodle joint." Judging from the way in which many members used the "chop-sticks," the feed was not the first sensation to them. Some suggested photographing the scene for the movies. After this novel "stunt" the members re-congregated in the "Social Room." With full stomachs they put x little pep in the Victrola and dancing was resumed. Everyone, tho, found himself in poor 'condition" and at 11 p. m., the thots of romance overcame them. The only criticism was that there were too many "stags." A larger crowd is expected next time. UTAH, FRIDAY, D ICC EM 5 ICR TEAM ROUNDING SHAPE BASKET BALL PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER Since the removal of the balconies, Coach Watson has seen some fast performances in the line of basket ball. The increased size of the hall has enabled our basket hoopsters to reach their acme of speed, which is far from Deing slow. Each night sees some twenty sturdy lads all clad in basket ball apparel out on the old barn floor with every bit of energy and enthusiasm in them turned loose. The only thing that is worrying the coach now. is how to classify them as to better and best. The members from last year's team who are being showed a close race for their old births on the team are: Phil Jeppson, Art Linford and Bonesy Jones. Ray Lindsay of last year's Junior team, shows more speed and form than ever, but is being given a close race cy his brother Claude of the Frosh ranks. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the year is the work of Schade. So far Ken has shown more ability to .hrow baskets than any man out. In ante of his limited amount of weight, lie has proven "a vv'ninwind on the floor. Ken will go a long way to-.vard filling the vacancy left by our last-year star Ern Shreeves. Others who are showing up are: Virgil Peterson, Lee Davis, Roy Gleave, Paul :Iinckley, Frank Newman, Ivan Farr, ML Roberts, Arlie Shurtliff and Ellis 3arker. GtyriBtmas 131 7 Lo, once again has come His day of Birth, The Gentle One, whom Prince of Peace we name; And yet red is master of the earth, The sword and torch advance in blood and flame. Far now the Time when Christ hung on the cross, When down his cheek the tears of sorrow ran, And yet the tides of battle rage and toss, The fear of man is still his brother man. Lo, on this day, as on that day long past Is greed of power, ambitious lust and pride, And love and mercy were to darkness cast, 4s grappled men in stubborn hate have died; Great Teacher, in Thy word the soul can tell The peace to follow this grim reign of Hell. Alfred Lambourne. 21, 1917 ELECTED HISTORIAN . At its regular weekly meeting of iast week the Board of Control appointed as historian of the school, Miss Vera Hinckley. This is a new student-body office, but nevertheless it is an important one. The Herald previously announced the decision of the B. of C. to add this new office to the student body offices, and according to the new constitution, which has been accepted by the board, "it shall be the duty of the historian .to keep a record of all events, achievements and important activities connected with Weber and its welfare. He (or she) shall at the opening of the school year select a suitable book, wherein all information is to be placed and at the end of the year this record shall be filed with the Librarian of the school." The selection of Miss Hinckley assures the faithful performance of this duty. She has been a conscientious hard worker ever since entering Weber as a Freeshman. During her ihree and one-half years' sojourn in our midst, she has always been an ardent supporter of her class and school. The appointment also carries with it a "seat" in the B. of C. Beginning this year, then, a school history will be kept, and a detailed story of our progress filed with the Librarian for the future enlightenment of those interested in Weber. SENIORS GIVE CHAPEL PROGRAMS READINGS, MUSICAL SELECTIONS AND ONE SPEECH ARE RENDERED The last week witnessed an avalanche of Senior talent in devotional. On Tuesday of last week the Seniors began to furnish the programs. On Wednesday the hour program was given by this class and a few numbers were rendered by this talent again Thursday. Readings were given by Mary Wooley, Lucille Thomas, El-nora Browning and Mamie Critten-clon. Musical selections were rendered by Lottie Ririe, Lucille Scott, and Mary Ernstrom. The Bingham Brothers Walter and Golden rendered a vocal duct. The lone speech was delivered by "Chuck" Linford as a result of the toss of the coin with Andrew Kasius. Charles discussed "The Relationship of the Classes to the Student Body." On Wednesday the Senior officers took charge of the program. The students were reminded of President Beal by Ray Lindsay and Mamie Crittenden, and Vera Hinckley endeavored to imitate certain members of the faculty. It is surprising to note, however, that the feminine tendencies overcame them to such a great extent that they even whishpered and "giggled" while their class-mates were performing. M, -wj fiappy new year No. 7 JOIN THE RED CROSS TO-DAY A TITHE OF POPULATION WANTED AS MEMBERS The drive for membership to the American Red Cross ends today. Have you already joined? If not, don't forget that today is your last chance. The books of the Weber College Chapter of the American Red Cross are open for your name for the last time this afternoon. Hand your "dollar" to either Mrs. Tanner, Miss Stallings or Mr. Holton. Your name will then be entered on the official roll of this chapter. It is not merely the contribution that goes with each membership that the government is after; but it is the membership itself. This humanitarian organization has asked a tithe of the population of this great republic to become members. By the end of this week the American Red Cross hope's to have 10,000,000 members. It is well to remember, too, that "Columbia" is asking ' for only 51 memberships. President Wilson himself, is this week conducting a vigorous campaign to" get people to join. This tithe ; of the' population will form a nucleus around which all ac tive support of the Red Cross will group itself. . More mercy work is needed. This organization saves the lives of men just , as the Y. M. C. A. saves the souls of, men.; If you join you will have the privilege of learning more about the condition of the soldiers and you will be given a chance to be a leader in doing mercy work. Don't shirk from your duty! Join this afternoon. We believe that more success would have been attained had this movement been carried on in connection with the student body, , but all give your "dollar" EFFICIENCY TO BE RE- MEDAL TO BE AWARDED FOR CHARACTER STUDENT ATCIVI-TIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS An efficiency medal is to be given again this year. The example set by the student body president and Acorn editor of two years ago is going to be followed. The efficiency medal which was given by them last year will be imitated by an efficiency medal which will be given this year. That is, the design may probably not be the same, but a gold medal with a raised "W" on it will be given this year on the same basis as it was given last year. It is not to be given for scholarship only. A student can be a "grind" and yet be very inefficient. Power is not a result of mere study-(Contimied on page 2.) m mm V in |
