'Purple and White' "Proudly waving ov'r old Weber, an ensign of truth and I right, " How many times I have sung that beautiful school song with the echoing of its sweet strains ringing through my mind for hours after. But now as the year is coming to a close it has a greater and still more significant place in my mind. A year is gone already. Work Together Now Weber has been a center for social as well as educational background and influence. High school graduates all over Utah and many other states have met together at Weber as one body. They are no longer friendly rivals but are working together as a whole. As we entered the friendly doors of Weber college at the first of our Freshman year an atmosphere of belonging came upon us for we knew we were part of it. As we listen to the words of welcome from our beloved President Dixon we know that he is striving to help each of us accomplish the things we are working for. Purple and White If a lump comes in your throat on the closing assembly when students and teachers join together in singing "Purple and White" don't feel self-conscious, for as you look around and notice your neighbors, you will see that they too are realizing that the year is at a close. Many students are receiving scholarships, awards, and other recognitions for outstanding work they have achieved in their fields. But there are still many who will be left unnoticed, for it is impossible to know the achievements of all. Many of these unnoticed persons are students,who are working for Weber in a different manner, such as supporting school affairs and games. Unseen Weberite This person may never be noticed but he is there. He may be the fellow sitting in the middle section of the auditorium during an assembly or theater production. This unseen Weberite may be the girl attending the football games in the rain so the team can have some cheering during the play. No, it isn't only the person on the stage, nor the person participating in sports who always counts, but the person who helps school spirit to live on by attending school functions. So as you hear the "Purple and White" in our closing assembly, stand up and join, for you can proudly say you are truly a Weberite. Watson - Tanner Clothing Co. "SMART APPAREL" r 1 . : . ; - . . 1 t-" jl; J Dear Editor: Here's What Irks Me . . . Dear Editor, It has come to my attention that the library of Weber College is be ing used for every other purpose but the silent meditation of the student.It has been the daily practice by the majority of students to use the main library as a meeting place for social clubs and general horsing around. It's about time some college students realized they are old enough to cut out these tactics. This practice occurs usually during the hours from 9 to 4. It seems that the library is occupied by a more select group of mature people during the evening hours. The express purpose of the library is to get down to business, your own business, not to sit down to attend a general conference. So students, let's simply shut up, if possible, or else join the speech class of Thatcher Allred. He'll give you a chance. Signed O Silent One If the students will only remember that the library at the east end of the second floor is for quiet studying and the adjoining rooms on the north and south are for group studying I am sure silence can reign. After all a player puts out in practice and in a game we ought to be ashamed for not supporting him. Oh, but do we care about that, a football player is supposed to be tough and be able to take all this beating, why don't some of the pretty boys around here try a little football, come on out for the team and they will show you how to play rough. That dare still goes for the lilies that say Weber's team is soft and gets shoved all over the field. Look at the Comp-ton game last year, Weber was behind 60-0 but ask anybody In that stadium including Compton players if Weber gave up. It's the very same way in basketball and baseball. Weber's had some of the greatest teams in her history this year but of course most of you don't know a thing about that, you haven't seen them play. Signed A 9 year letterman Four Ex-Teachers Returning for '49 Four teachers who have been on leave of absence will be returning to Weber college next year. W. H. Handley, Farrell Collett, and Helen Malley will begin fall quarter and Mae Welling will return the latter part of the year. With several teachers taking leaves soon, a few new teachers will be selected to take their place. Clair L. Anderson has been chosen in the physical education dept. An instructor to take Alta Hirst's position in home economics has not been decided on as yet. Miss Hirst is quitting to put her teachings into practice for she will soon be married. Instructors taking leaves of absence are Wayne Carver, Dean Garner, Merle Allen, and Thatcher Allred. Dear Editor, Why is it that students won't support their ball games? If a person would realize just what our boys go through preparing for a game perhaps they would attend. Just as a start, look at football. The coaches arrange an attractive schedule bringing the top football teams of the nation right at your front door. What do we do about it? Why of course maybe a little rain falls to keep -us away. Our boys don't spend a whole week practicing just to see if they can beat each others brains out. They want to be primed for the game the following week end. He practices every night of the week, thus there are many problems Involved; ways of getting home after practice, lessons piled up at home when he does get there, and injuries sustained throughout the practice are not such fun and you will find he has one of a time. IHi TED COLLINS BOB iMOKKIS Dear Editor, With the year's activities in athletics winding up with resounding victories in conference basketball and baseball, I feel that although the student body has not been behind the team all the way, our athletics have gained remarkable achievement in their fields of res pective competition. Coaches Milton Mecham, Bear Ward, Reed Swenson and ' Dean Gardner should be presented with a trophy from the students for the diligent manner in which they handled this year's action in sports from football to basketball to baseball to track to tennis and intra- (Cont. on Page 3, Col. 2) CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES FINER FOOD CAFE 24th and Kiesel You can afford a dream kitchen Nov! fi 1 Why delay?
