LIND SPEAKS ON "GENERAL GEOLOGY." The lecture by Dr. John G. Lind on "General Geology " delivered in Devotional Assembly was of a type that should be delivered oftener before college students. The Dr. might well have included his characteristic phrase, "note that. "We are here to learn, not to be entertained,' as Judge Reeder appropriately remarked in the beginning of his excellent address. The heads of our departments should be asked to present the outstanding phases of their work to the students at frequent intervals. Such a policy would prove an important factor in broadening our education. President Blaylock has the right idea about assembly programs. FORMALITY VINDICATED At first many Weber students doubted the wisdom of making the Freshman Prom a formal function. It was consistently argued that the cost would make it impossible for enough to attend to make it the success that it really should be made. It would now be impossible to find any one to sustain this view. The beauty and dignity of the dance impressed all who were present. Enthusiastic praise was forth coming on every hand. Weber's status was raised one hundred per cent in the estimation of our many friends who were present. The precedent being set should be followed by all classes having charge of the Prom in the future. Those who were not present have much to regret. Such occasions are land marks in school life that will be prized memories to all who take advantage of them. With more time to prepare for the event no one should be absent next year. HONOR STUDENTS It is really a great distinction to be an honor student in any school. The title carries with it the fact that the student has put forth such effort as is required to merit an A grade in each of his classes. It shows that he has enough ambition to desire more than simply a passing-grade and that that desire is so strong as to cause such as is necessry to realize it. It is an established truth that one gets from a thing just what he puts into it. This is even more true in school work than in other lines. Schooling is simply a development of the inteligence and character of an individual. With: out action on his part these are not developed; they are not made capable of bearing- the burdens of acieve-ment. The more the work on the part of the student the more firm will be the foundation upon which he may build his caitle of success. The more he develops along each line the stronger are the rounds of the ladder he must climb to the standard he has set. Thus the honor student is looked to, and not without reason, for greater things in life. This position should be the aim of every student in school, because the way onte works in school is an index to his success in life. ACTING PRESIDENT BLAYLOCK The work of Professor Blaylock in handling the affairs of the School in the absence of President Tracy is very commendable. Such work is little noticed and even less appreciated, by the students in general. If ever anything wrong lays the blame to the head right in some cases but m the majority it is absolutely wrong. The head is very seldom really to blame. On the other hand tjiie students very seldom give any aid in-avoiding such errors. Those are the facts pessimistic as they are. To take the other side; who gets the praise for conducting the school as successfully as it is being conducted? Who gets the praise for arranging such wonderful devotional exercises and getting such inspirational and interesting speakers to come and instruct us with th'eir talks? Who gets the praise for keeping the school interesting? No one. It would be much better to take a more optomistic point of view, keep the blame to ourselves and place the praise where it belongs. B. E. H. S. Those who read the Box Elder High School notes in the last issue of the Herald will notice the wonderful advancement thht school is making. Box Elder has always been one of the leading High Schools of the State and the steps she is taking- to better her athletic field and in the agricultural department as well as the life that is being shown in other lines is very commendable. The cry of the people today is for a practical education. Brigham City is in an agricultural district hence she is answering the demand by enlarging her summer course in that line and by making the study and work of those students of use to the community in general as well as to the students themselves. Nor is she putting this project over at the expense of other lines. The forensic, social, and athletic activities are being boosted just as much as the aggie department. With such pep and enthusiasm Box Elder should continue to be one of the leading High Schools of the State. THOTS ON There was once a hen who never laid two eggs in the same place. All went well until she tried to sit. She had her eggs scattered all over the farm, and she tried to hatch thfcm all. The third day she went crazy. The Efficiency Magazine All good work is especially done without hesitation, without difficulty, without boasting. Ruskin HERALD takes place in school everyone of that school. This may bei EFFICIENCY THE CHAMBER INTEREST For some time Ogden has not been advancing as rapidly as it should. Cognizant of this, the Ogden Chamber of Commerce has taken it upon themselves to raise a fund of 23,ttt) from donations from the business men of the city. This is not really a donation but an investment which is to meet the cost of an extensive advertising: campaign. This campaign is not f;r the purpose of selling any product but is to put facts concerning Ogden before the different industries of the world in an effort to entice some new industries to come and take advantage of the wonderful opportunities afforded here. Ogden is naturally a railroad center; it has the best possible- facilities for almost any industry. The location, climati', water supply, and proximity of agriculture for food supplies are ideal. These, along with the succes of businesses already here, if made known to the enterprising people in other lines will open their eyes to the possibilities in this city. A report from the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce shows a very favorable gain as a result of such an advertising scheme in that city. Other cities are forging ahead as a result of their advertising, and if Ogden is going to progress at the rate she should it will be because of some such scheme. Many methods will be used to carry this program out. Bill boards are to be erected, and advertisements will be placed in the different trade Journals of the country. The program as planned will cover approximately five years. The Chamber of Commerce is doing a great work for Ogden and much credit will be due them for the industrial RTowth which must take place in this city as a result of their work.

It was reported that the play was a very ineresting andexciting- one. That it was well appreciated by the larg-e audience was shown by the vig-orous applause and favorable comments. :.- Although no formal announcement has been made as yet, we feel that the ring-on Venice Marble's left hand means that Weber will lose at least one student by . the matrimonial route. Of course again we have no facts but we have an idea that June will be the month when Owen and Venice plan to celebrate. Mr. Harrison Parker and Rulon Beus attended a birthday party on Monday 24 The only feature they remembered was the delicious refreshments. True to his Benjamin Franklin style Rulon carried a dozen rolls home with him and not to be out done Harrison confiscated a cake to which he will refer later. s Mr LeRoy Deem was a visitor at Weber on Tuesday 25, Mr Deem was a former student but is not attending school this quarter. He intends to soon begin traveling as a salesman for a Knitting Campany. ft ft ft Mr. Jones of the B. Y. U. Yearbook staff and Mr. Kenneth Anderson a former Weber student now attending the B. Y. U. attended the Prom and, incidentally, made a tour of Weber Saturday with their lady friends. Miss Lenore Croft, a former Weber student, who is now attending the A. C. has been selected to play the part of Olivia in the school play "The Twelveth Knight." Miss Genieve Madson of Ogden High paid several short visits to Weber last week. She was apparently the guest of President Junius Tribe. Miss Edna Brown went to Salt Lake City to attend the Grand Opera given by the Chicago Civic Opera Co. She reported having had a very enjoyable trip. (For various reasons.) A most unusual incident occured last week. Mr. David Kennedy spent the noon hour at the Ogden High. Miss Venice Marble spent the week end visiting at the home of her parents Dr. and Mrs. Marble of Brigham City. 33UUpodu.II JBO.I.u jo s.ui -iuiu no Aquqo.i, -soo.'a a.ij 4Sbj 9scui Aiuonba.ij looip ll-s!H uop.o'Q aqt .muiiisia uooq suq 3quj sniunf We put this in the box and turned it upside down so that Junius couldn't read it.

DEPARTMENTS COOKING DEPARTMENT Members of the cooking-department visited the Shupe Williams Candy Company last Friday afternoon, and obtained some very valuable information. The men who i piloted them through the factory were very kind and cour-iteous; they explained the different processes used in the manufacture of candy. The girls left the factory with a much more extensive knowledge of candy making. The amount of candy sold at the book store has decreased considerable since the o-pening' of the cafeteria. This shows that students will really buy sensible food if they are given any opportunity to do so. Mrs. Tanner is very much pleased in the way the students are supporting the cafeteria. Mrs. Tanner has received word from the Home Economics Association that they are adopting' as their slogan "Better teeth." Such a slogan would be beneficial to any community. If we are to have better teeth we must eat less candy and other carbohydrate food, which naturally decay teeth and rob the body of the teeth-building materials. Milk has more real food value than any other food. It also contains the elements required in keeping our teeth in good condition. Adults as well as children should drink plenty of milk. "If all else shall fail ye, drink milk." MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Generally the Mathematics department is looked upon as a department of abstract thinking and a place where everything exists that is difficult to understand. We may agree with this to a certain extent along the lines of Geometry and Algebra. But when a person says that Trigonometry is not practical, he has taken a step out of the right way. Trigonometry is just plain arithmetic made applicable to everyday life. Instead of multiplication and division which becomes very difficult and long at times, Trigonometry reveals the logarethms, and addition and subtraction take the place of the first two principles. The Trigonometry class this quarter have changed their minds about Mathematics and are enjoying that subject im-mensly.DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE Professor Jensen has just received several valuable additions to his already splendidly equiped labratory. The Baloptican, a machine purchased at a cost of $185 will be of great worth to the department. It can be adjusted to transparent, as well as o-paque objects. All connec- Swell Up "Pinks" The following- is a letter received from Mrs. E. O. Thompson of the faculty of the Tooele County High School: Dear Mr. Blaylock: This will be a hurry note but I wanted you to know that we made our eig'htjr mile trip, through the snow, in safety. I also must tell you how much I appreciated the reception extended to myself and the girls whom I brought to Ogden to attend the Weber Prom. These small high schools have so few opportunities to get help along social lines and they do need it so badly. While your dance was given for older people there were many fine things which my group of girls brought away with them and which I am sure will be a means of stimulating higher ideals in their parties and dances. I wish that I might let your "Pink Elephants" know I just how much there courtesy , meant to these younger girls. I Those boys were simply I splendid and are rendering IIILLCREST Try the Drug Store on 7S6 23th Street j tions have been made and ! the machine is ready for use as soon as the special order of slides arrive I Several sets of slides have been received during the last I week, which will be used in the phvschologv, zoologv, and botanv classes. EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT Students of the Educational department are busily engaged writing letters to superintendents in hopes of ob taining- a position as teacher next year. We are proud of this group of students and wish them good luck in securing positions, and in the handling of them efficiently. A committee of faculty members met Wednesday af- ternoon to look over and 'consider applications for graduations. Those who receive certificates or diplomas this year, should feel it an honor to be a member of the first class to graduate from Weber College. In years to come when Weber has grown to a great and renouned college they will look back on the days spent here in 1923-2-1 with pride and joy.

PROM SIDELIGHTS Those who laughingly referred to the Prom as the "Butlers Ball' are respectfully silent now. The fellows wore those dress suits and wing collars with far nlore grace than was at first predicted. One student remarked that he didn't even notice that he was in any unusual garb. The refreshments served at the Prom were certainly delicious. Many thanks to President Tracy. For a comedy of thrills and amusing situations ou ought to have seen the fellows trying on those suits when they first arrived. Will leave the details to youv imagination. Fit yourself for a better position in life. PHARMACY the XI ill for Service Phone 311 Freshmen Life By Sterling Wheelwright "Say, Hens, where's my suit?"' "Aint I got a vest with this here suit?" "Where's my pants?" "Say, do them there guys think I'm goin' to the Prom insl in ;l shirt anil vpst ?" A conglomeration of shouts j all out ol proportion to the number of participants, came from the Student Body room as the would-be Promenad-ers endeavored to help 1 len-sly unpack the rented formalities.Each suit had connected with it a card bearing- the student's name and number, presumably his ordered size. We say the card was connected, because there the relationship ended. Hebcr laid violent hands on a "Tux" bearing his name and dropped the coat on. 1 le was completely enveloped in its folds and then discarded it, thinking- he had been sent a fancy overcoat by mistake. He then hitched on the pants, which after a careful survey by himself and friends he decided could be worn by pulling the ends over his feet and tying with a piece of string. Heber borrowed the smallest full dress coat in the lot and slipped into it. By accident it was a perfect fit; notwithstanding the fact, he jerked it off when "Long John" Tanner jokingly remarked; "Ha, ha, Hebe. Gosh you sure look like an organ grinder's monkey." ( All during this episode, "Slim" Hales had been trying to clothe himself in a full dress coat, which likewise bore his name. Words fail to describe his attempt, although we dimly remember that his elbows, at least, were covered. Clarence Brown, who was slipping out of the door with the best fitting coat said in an intended consolatory manner. "Well, you want two inches of cuff to show anyway." Chauncy hurried away to avoid the air-blueing comments which followed his advice. Clix was heard to say from the depths of a pair of pantaloons, "These must have been made to order for that man who sells popcorn in of the front of the Cozy." Van's coat had been made for a person of normal dimensions, but a subsequent exchange with someone else resulted in a perfect fit. Van's joy was short lived, for after returning- from a gleeful visit to his lady in the sewing room, he discovered that his nine points of the law (possession) had been transferred. A resulting onesided trade mended matters. As things gradually settled down, Harrison Parker and Rulon Beus left their elsewhere borrowed trimmings, observing, "Well we'll go home to have our little circus."WAS THIS A FRESHMAN GIRL? She was a pretty and ambitious girl and had studied the matrimonial problem to a nicety. "Yes, I suppose I shall wed eventually," she said, "but the only kind of a masculine nuisance that will suit me must be tall and dark with classical features. He must be brave, yet gentle. Withal he must be strong a lion among men, but a knight among the. ladies. That evening a bow-legged, lath-framed 3-outh, wearing checked trousers and smoking a cigarette, that smelt worse than a burning boot, rattled on the back door and the girl knocked clown four tumblers and a cutglass dish off the sideboard in her haste to get to him. Ella: "You raised your hat to that girl who passed. You don't know her, do you?' Heber: "No, but Rig does, and this is his hat." x-cx-ok-xx0":.cmx--:- ETIQUETTE I xxh::o-wxoo-xoo When a gentleman pauses to hold a door open for a lady, or extend her any other courtesy she should never fail to thank him.
