Having been invited to contribute a few lines to the Weber Herald, the paper of your school, I comply with a feeling of pride in your institution. As I write, there is before me in memory the numerous occasions when I have seen you in Devotional Assemblies, and no picture of youth and hope stands out more prominently in my mind. Weber is in its infancy. Your faculty will play an important part in building the structure. Your President is a capable, sincere man, swayed by the finest forces of the heart, and he will be a big factor in giving to Weber a place in education. But you, the students, have your contributions to make, quite equal to that of president and 'faculty. I have confidence in you. I know you will apply yourselves, and so direct all ! your energies as to reflect j credit on the school of which you are to be the product. Today you are laying the foundations of your lives. You are determining the future as to whether you are to be successful and the college enduring. Be persistant, H thorough, be honorable. iive your lives intensely. llrl i i ATt itairar irAn f r n h r-o. tm. I. lu ycuei sc 111 greatness is my earnest Pr'lyer. ABRAHAM LINCOLN February 12, 1924, was the 114th anniversary of the birth of our immortal President Abraham Lincoln. His remarkable career is unequal he has endeared himself to all who read of his accomplishments.A noble character was his greatest asset. The ability to see the tender, human side of the factors which above all others made him famous. He lives, and will always live in the hearts of all Americans, their, ideal as a private citizen and as a President.

GEORGE WASHINGTON In the foreground of the early history of our Republic stands the enimincnt figure, Washington. Through the trying days of the revolution his faith and courage was an inspiration to the soldiers who endured such hardships for the sake of this, our glo- rious nation.

The Cadet Battalion of the High School will hold their annual Millitary Hop on February the 21st. The Hop is being advertised by officers who are performing with the Pantages Circuit at the Or- pheum Theatre. The ball is I to be made attractive by dec- orations that are soon to be installed. Millitary drill will be performed so that the public can see a sample of the work the cadets are doing. ;ng 0f "non-coms", who have been under Sgt. Halloway's instruction will conduct the drills. Millitary circles of this State and others have their eyes focused on Ogden and it's Cadet Corp, so that we are sure of a large attendance of Army officers and officials from outside of Ogden. The snappy T. N. T. Club recently held a lively theatre party. The members after proceeded to the Urpheum ineatre wnere tney enjoyed 1 the vaudeville act of not only professionals but that of the Cadet Officers as well. From the show they went to a noodle parlor where they Ill i' l i T 1. held an eating contest. Rob ert Martin and Blackburn , , , 1 succeeded in outdoing all the rest of the crowd. Soon after wards they dispersed, some went to the White City to dance while others wandered off in happy groups. IflL" "JlT it A recent vacancy in the Forum has caused mUch spec t nst larger tnan tne ciud mem bership, which is limited to twelve. JNew members are selected from competitive tests.

For the purpose ofstimulat-ing interest in art at the High School, the Art Club has been organized. It has a member ship of eighteen students. Others who are reallv inter ested in art are privileged to ioin. With Mr. Marshall as faculty advisor the members of the Club have painted stage scenery for several of the wards in Brigham and are now doing the scenes for the school opera. Advertisements for games, Lyceum numbers, and dramas have also been made by these Club members. Altogether the Club has sav ed the school a considerable sum of money. SPRING ATHLETICS Box Elder expects another good year in track. Burke, who was defeated last year by Burt of Box Elder, is back with another year of development and should go well in the mile and the half mile. Vosco Call, who won second in the pole vault last year in the State meet, should be good this year in the pole vault and the high jump. 1.-4. 1 -Cf4l. liari racer, wno tooit in in ui broad jump, should do wellj in broad jump, high jump and, hurdles. Other men who should show up well are R. Lilly-white, Zundel, Reeves, Royle j Jensen, and Steffen. Walt Mann will be good on sprints. Box Elder has won the division for a number of years in succession and bids fair to repeat. This year the State Athletic Association is handling track differently from other years. The State will be divided with four schools in a division. Each school must , participate in a dual meet and the division winners will i be decided as now in basket-1 ball. Only the division win-I ners will be permitted to en-iter the State meet. This method seems unfair to the small schools but the idea is to foster school teams rather than teams composed of two or three stars. SCHOOL OPERA Feb. 27 and 28 the School will present "The Mikado," a comic opera with eccentric characters. The staging made by the Art Club of the school, is more elaborate than ever before. Miss Caldwell of the Dramatic Art department is coaching the stage presentation, Miss Alice Reeder has charge of the dancing and Vincen, McKay will produce some unusual lighting effects. There will be a large orches-jtra composed of the High ! School and Community or-I orchestras. Besides the nine (principals there is a chorus of fifty voices. It used to be that when a man got a letter marked "two cents due" the letter was worth two cents. CURRENT COMMENT By C. C. Wilson Events are transpiring with impressive rapidity in these "piping times of peace." What the reading public is viewing is a mighty phantasmagoria of history-making action of the most dramatic kind. In Europe the stage is both England and the continent from Spain to Russia. Egypt is now a magnet of historic romace. In the Far East, India and the Phillipines are storm centers. Mexico is a-gain turbulent. And in our own U. S. A., excepting war times only, we were never farther from the doldrums. In the national capital the pot is boiling feevirshly. This time it is a Huge vat of oil, and it is a poor day in Washington when it doesn't boil over and no one is scalded. Just now A. B. Fall is the national scapegoat, and mem- 1 f T-l J j.

And now Daugherty is singled out as the target. It is doubtful if he can withstand the withering attack led by Senator Wheeler of Montana and the other senators who are on the war path. Can McAdoo come back? Is the question which is giving the Democrats a bad case of "nerves".

Right at the psychological moment the party of the opposition is lackingthe required Moses. With the question of national conservation holding the center of the stage in a presidential year there may be a demand for a recognized conservationist, like Gov. Pin-chot of Pennsylvania, to take the helm of the ship of state. The question of tax reduction also looms large upon the horizon, with the "bonus" involved in the discussion. The Republican insurgents have joined with the Democrats in defeating the Mellon proposal, which means acceptance of the schedule advanced b y representative Garner of Texas. The vote was 222 to 196, convincing evidence that the insurgents, under Lafollette's leadership, are holding the balance of power these days in Washington.The vote on the Bok peace plan seems to indicate, as far as such straw votes can, that the reading part of the public at least is in favor of ending the peace dead-lock. Nearly ninety percent of the votes have been favorable to the idea of America's playing a part in the attempt to stabilize world conditions, looking to the outlawing of war as a goal. In the world of the spirit many noteworthy things are not to be overlooked in the general political upheaval. Last week "The Nation" published their annual prize poem, "Jezebel", written by Scudder Middleton. "A Parable of Paradise", by Genevieve Taggard appears this week as the second prize. One of the world's greatest private libraries, begun by the elder J. Pierpont Morgan and added to by his son, has been given to the public as a reference library. The library is valued conservatively at $8,500,00, including $1,500,000 endowment for its maintain-ance. Book lovers call it the most magnificient gift of the kind ever made. The Board of Trustees of Wellesley College have hit upon a plan of faculty representation in the government of the college, whereby a delegate from the college faculty is to sit with the trustees as one of the regular mem bers, and will be expected to voice the faculty point of view when matters relating to the faculty or students are under consideration. This in-ovation is hailed as "without precedent in American colleges." The authorities of Vassar College, it is reported, have granted to members of the faculty "complete freedom of research, instruction and utterance upon matters of opinion." This looks as if daylight might be streaking the academic sky. But the real test will come when some professor says or does something that offends a rich donor or trustee. It will be a happy day for all teachers and ministers when the "new freedom" really arrives.
