Show The W eber Her Published By The Associated Students Of Weber College Vol. 1 March 27, 1934 No. 11 CATASTROPHE: It is true that a few minor inconveniences have resulted from the laboratory class in carpentry recently instituted in the Mo-ench building and all over the adjacent campus. But, up until last week no major catastrophe had occurred . Mr. Hurst was solving an accounting problem for his eight o'clock class. "Now we bring down this figure ..." The fi jure came down--down through theceil-ing--the figure of a man's leg, clothed in a monstrous shoe and a grimy overall. Mr. Hurst ruefully removed the plaster from his hair und continued the discussion. PROGRESS: Remodeling of the Moench building is progressing very satisfactorily, Mr. George D. Johnson, in charge of construction, reports. The work is up to schedule and will be completed as scheduled by May 1. The library and other rooms on the second floor will be ready for rehabitation in a few day s . The majority of the material has been purchased. As much of the old material as possible is being reused. All excavating for the new south entrance, the extension of the north wall will be finished next week, and the second floor of the new-classrooms west of the present building will be laid. Sixty men are at work on the project at the present time. Approximately the same number will be employed until May 1. "THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER": The Weber college band, boy's glee club, and the girls' trio presented numbers from the "The colonel's Daughter" in Malad March 22 in advertisement of the presentation of the musical comedy to be given there. Rehearsals of the comedy are proceeding very well, and the first rehearsal of the entire cast and chorus with the orchestra was held recently.

Reeder today, but he has left absolute proof of his existence at Weber forty-three years ago. In tearing down a door-frame of an upper room of the Moench building CWA workmen recently discovered the following insc ription: "Leo J. Reeder, Ogden City, November 25, 1891, Three-thirty a. m." Reeder must have seen an opportunity to make a name for himself while the building was under constriction, climbed in the darkness to this high point to inscribe his message for posterity. He must have had insight that our building would not stand forever, but it is wondered why he mentioned the location of the building. o As this issue goes to press, Curtis Bydee and Bill Alsup are frantically trying to raise enough money to join Weber's other debaters in the Phi Rho Pi tournament in Kansas. |
