Show Page Two WEBER HERALD Freshmen Win Eighth Contest SENIORS LEAD SERIES; TOMORROW'S CONTEST DECIDES WINNER Willi thn S( niors leading Uio Frosh liy only one point, intense inlcro.st is ' ct ntcred upon the Kxtcmpo contest ;:clic(lule(l for tomorrow. Eight contests have been held so f:r uml Hie contest which is but 24 hours off marks the wind-up of the series the final contest. Helen Hinckley won the contest of last week and thereby pushed her class to within one point of the Seniors' scorn. The general subject discussed was "Conservation of Food." The winner took up the phase, "Conservation in the Home." As the score now stands the Seniors are credited with 14 points, the Freshmen with 13, and the Sophs and Juniors are tied with 10 1-2 points, consequently the last contest will in iltelf decide who is the winner of the series. If the Seniors win first place they will win, hut if the Frosh acquire the Blue ribbon and the Seniors get the Red, the two classes will tic for the first. A great deal, therefore, depends upon the support the class gives its contestants. The general subject is "Public Speaking," and the opponents will not be given their subject until 1G minutes before time to speak. There wil be three outside judges an. the speaker will be disqualified if lie wanders from his subject in any way. In other words, a real Extempo contest. Some class cheering would intensify the contest. Men who know Quality Buy Here. Where Do You Buy? Ogden Barbsr Supply Co. 318 25,h Street PRINTER 2476 Washington Avenue OGDEN.

The advice of the faculty that we refrain from bringing valuables to school is both insuf-.'ie'ent and impracticable. True, it is the height of folly for any student to leave money anywhere except on his pcrscn; but when it comes to carrying "rubbers" and all other valuables around with one, we can hardly refrain from scoring in no uncertann terms the petty thieves and petty methods used to detec tthem. When the room was broken into and boxes of candy taken, some of which were for Uncle Sam's soldiers, we felt that some one either had no sense of honor or was not mentally balanced. But time passed and "rubbers" and such, were continually missed. Then came the climax. Over one hundred boxes of candy, belonging to the Sunday schools, CLASS NOTES SENIORS' TREAT All right, you lucky Senior boys, forget about those meatless, wheat-less and eatless meals and get ready for a real bust that would tempt old Hoover himself. Ask any of the G. H. Domestic Science girls or maybe i; would be better to wait until you ; get asked. You see it's this way. On I the twenty-first, thirteen Senior girls ; will invite thirteen Senior boys to this said dinner, so if you want to get in on it, brothers, act your nicest. ' Following the dinner, if we are able, we will meet the rest of our gang in j the P. O. room and raise a little riot l ths remainder of the evening. Most of the Seniors are busy practicing for j cur big class play, but we expect them to forget their lines this night and join in a good time. Just a slight reminder, for we know you like to be reminded, we are still cn top in extempo. R. W. JUNIORS' MID-WINTER CARNIVAL A GREAT SUCCESS A complete metamorphosis having taken place, the Junior Mid-Winter Carnival is now one of retrospect, rather than exalted anticipation. Did we have a good time well, I guess. Prompt'y at eight o'clock Wednesday evening, Freshies, Sophs, Juniors, and a few Seniors, assembled at the Weber auditorium to participate in a grand celebration. Horns, confetti, serpentine, candy, ice cream, chili con carne, Ridges J:zz orchestra, and dancing were the main attractions of the evening. Thursday night proved to be the greatest success, for Friday morning many students were absent from sr hool. FRESHMEN STARS L"p-a-dee, up-a-dee, up-a-dee A. What's the matter with the Frosh, Hay?

PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS AND MENTION THE HERALD HERALD NO. 10 wore stolen; money was taken from different students and then some kleptomaniac stole some Thrift stamps mcney from the office. The responsibility that rests upon the student body is that of making things so unpleasant for the few who cemmit the outrages that they will immediately alter their habits. The only way of safeguarding our valuables is to do away with the thieves. Drastic action in this case must and will be supported by the student body. Students who fail to become indignant over such actions as the disappearance of pens, rubbers, hats, candy and money are tacitly consenting to .such outrages. Remember the sentiments you express on such questions reveals your charcter very clearly. Public sentiment around Weber should hang such offenders as "high as Halam" on a gibbet of shame. THINKERS DISCUSS ACADEMIC FREEDOM When in the course of human events Weber's activities come and go, with fond memories as the only remaining souvenir, the members of Weber's Thinkers club will still be pondering ovi the live problems of the day and the club will form the center cf brain activity for those who demand evidence for all beliefs. Emerson, it was, who said "The world must look out for a thinker." This applies even at present, but after the war it would not be at all surprising t.i behold the exaltation of nr. en who think and the rejection of those who follow in blind obedience the obsolete conventionalism of the ages, some of which probably has descended from the Garden of Eden. Twentieth century civilization brings with it a readjustment of life and thot. The concerted action of society has replaced the uncooperative ancient mode of living. With this metamorphosis of civilization, great problems regulating the conduct of man continually present themselves. When the world is made safe for democracy, reconstruction in every country, including the U. S., will necessarily follow. Reformation of the political system will be a necessary reform if our country is to progress. Therefore, men who can think and act will be needed as never before. The Thinkers club aims, by acquainting students with the big problems of our school and country, to prepare them for leadership in the immense period of reconstruction that will soon follow. Every Wednesday at 3:30 p. m. some vital subject is debated. All have a chance to speak. Yesterday the subject discussed was "Freedom of Academic Thot and Action in War Times." All the members were present. The membership of 30 might soon have to be extended. Better Join Now. See either Prof. Kasius or E. L. Wilkinson.ber on the first team?
