HeSlo! Student Body Officers of next year welcome new students and returning ones to the best college in Utah in the year 1952-53 with particular emphasis on BEST COLLEGE.Faced with leading the student body in its efforts to keep Weber the best, one of the first assignments was to write this article. "Why is Weber the Best?", and "What Have We Planned for the Future?", are the questions we want to answer. In determining what makes a "best" school we need only look at the four phases of scholastic functions.1. Administration Weber has an organization of administration wfrich nears perfection. Every direction of school activity from military guidance to part-time jobs is clearly outlined with a special leader.2. Faculty The friendly and helpful attitude taken by Weber's faculty seems to give students confidence that the great tasks of life and knowledge can be accomplished.3. Curriculum Approximately 300 different courses of instruction are offered at Weber in its day and night schools, making it a leading Junior college in the nation. Everything from excellent engineering instruction to a terrific music department topped with field trips in several classes is offered. 4. Extra-curricular activities Here certainly is one of the things Weber excclls in. Ten social clubs, AMS, AWS, Whip club, Education club, Geodiciplus, International Relations club, and many other organizations sponsor parties, dances,in-tra-mural activities equal to any university in the nation. The student body sponsors a dance nearly every week along with a matinee dance, Mardi Gras, Dinner dances, outings, Sadie Hawkins' j ! Your COLLEGE I! grows with Weber days, Christmas caroling, Football, Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, For-ensics (the list could go on forever).Plans for the future include the biggest plan ever since the establishment of the city, that of making Weber a four-year degree-granting institution located on a huge, new campus. General consensus of opinion at the college say, "If Weber ever becomes a four-year college, next year will be the important one." Next year we plan to campaign with everything we've got to attain the great day. Naturally we have no intention of slighting any other school activities. We have planned just as many and hope to make them as successful if not more so than ever in the past. The same fun, the same educational standards as always will be a major factor in keeping Weber the best in Utah. For any information, questions or answers, we invite you to write any one or all of the student body officers.Thanks for everything, Val Lofgreen, President Jane Powell, Vice President Raelene Sommers, Secretary Alien Cook, Treasurer Tom Burton, Business Mgr. Your Success in Life May Guide Others David Livingston once wrote, "I will go anywhere provided it be forward." This is an excellent motto to keep in mind. How many of us this year have taken a step backward, instead of a step forward, as we had planned. In what did we fail? Has our goal in lite changed because of our failure, or are we willing to pick up and try again? Are we going to be willing to keep sliding back ward for the rest of our life? SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Where The EAT RUSTY'S CONGRATULATIONS SOPHOMORES! Jimmy's Flower Shop 450 - 25th Street Phone 6292 SSSSSSS; ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Goodbye! By Fred Ball I'm not usually the sentimental type, as most of you know by now, but being told to write this little farewell to Weber college kinda' hits me pretty hard. The past two years will always be cherished by me and I know no matter what paths I choose in latter life that the memories will always be as loved and remembered as they are now. It's really been fun. I'll never forget how I literally "lost my shirt" at the Mardi Gras. It was a little embarrassing at the time, but now the thought that the little incident may have helped Weber onto four year status rubs a little ointment on the hurt pride. The student union benefits as just a little step to the big thoughts of a four year school but every little thing that we did this year helps. I don't think I could ever have served office at a better year in Weber college history. Weber Day made a big hit with me and I know it did with the rest of you students and the citizens of Ogden. The ground-breaking ceremony and the dedication of the new land after the big parade will always hold a big spot in my heart. The thought that the students of 1952 had a definate contribution to the great strides of progress that Weber is taking should always make everyone be proud. I remember how Carol, Norma, Hugh, LaMoyne and myself felt right after being elected student body officers for the year 1951 and 52. The thoughts of the many responsibilities that faced us had the five of us plenty scared but we buckled down and attempted to plan a 'Freshman Week' that would be appealing to the new members of the Weber College family. Graduates DRIVE - INN I Retiring studnt body officrs are Lamoyne Garside, business manager; Hugh Jacobs, treasurer; Carol Barker, vice president; Norma Creer, secretary; Fred Ball,president. After Freshman Week died down, the staggering job of homecoming was staring us right in the face. Hugh and LaMoyne recruited some help and then proceeded to make a big day for the old grads. After home-coming there was parties and recognition for the football team and many other arduous tasks begging for a little attention. I'll bet that not one member of the Board of Control will confess that we were not working on some activities every day of the year. Work? yes, I guess you could call it that, but we enjoyed every minute of it. We hope the students did. Now, the end of the year has rolled around. When the diplomas are handed to the graduating sophs this year, I sincerely hope that they will not think themselves divorced from the Weber family. There's a lot of work to be done for a bigger and better W.C. The work will always be open to all the graduation class of 1952 and the freshmen of this year. Plus Weber college wherever you so. Let the public know just how much four year status means to the Weber family. Keeping our goal in the public eye will aid a lot. Carol, our terrific vice president, and myself seemed to get all the glory this year. Our pictures were in the paper several times, we were named outstanding sophomores, were awarded the honor of being among the first to break ground on the new campus and will lead the graduates to the presenters of the diplomas. It seems foolish to me ! THE CLASS OF '52! 1 n Your Clothinq Store 1 sssssssssssssssssssssssssss that such outstanding student officers as the other officers should have to sit a little and not share the spot-light as much as they should. Norma has done a wonder-full as secretary. Keeping all the minutes and writing so May letters is such a terific job and that I mavel that such a little gal could do such a great job. Who can doubt that Hugh has a terrific job as student treasurer this year. He managed to keep us from going too far in hole on the thousands of dollars we have to take care of. And then LaMoyne. What a swell job he did this year. Handling all the pressing business problems of the Day. Let me sign this 'benediction' for them also. Let me express for all of us the heart felt thanks for all the help thin year. Remember us please, and also keep in mind the the continual fight for a four year school. See ya Fred Ball, President; Carol Barker, vice president; Norma Creer, secretary; Hugh Jacobs, treasurer, and LaMoyne Garside, business manager, student body officers of 1951-52.
