"In track and field the boys made a good record, both at Provo and at Logan; winning many medals and ribbons. Our experience this year in athletics reveals the necessity for a regular paid coach. The athletic side of a school is an essential that must be taken care of in any modern college. On the athletic field and gym floor is where a strong man is necessary to direct aright the boys in good conduct, language, pure thot, etc., thereby coordinating the physical with the mental and moral sides of their nature. "We are assured that athletics will be handsomely cared for next year, for both boys and girls. Our campus is to be enlarged and an athletic field provided. The new Weber Gymnasium will be an added asset to Weber, giving better opportunity to emphasize physical education. "Prospects for Weber are bright. Never before in the history of Ogden have citizens in general sensed so fully the need of a college. Weber has had more support this year than ever before, and they are demanding that Weber be made a four year college, giving- bachelor degrees in arts and sciences." DR. BENNION Dr. Adam S. Bennion delivered the address to the graduates, making a plea for tolerance and open-mindness. "What the world needs more than anything else is a determination to get all the facts concerning things. We see the necessity for tolerance on every hand, in the home, in the school, in business, in the church, in politics.' It is one of the hardest challenges in all the world. "The cause of all the strife in the religious world today is lack of tolerance. The purpose of the church is to foster peace and good will; the purpose of science is to discover existing truths. If the theory of evolution is wrong science cannot make it right and if it is right science cannot make it wrong. In the end it maks but little difference how God chose to create man. Evolution is the description of a process not a cause. God is not a description of a process. "In closing let me encourage you to go forward with an openness of mind. Guard against prejudice and avoid the misunderstandings resulting from getting just half the truth." President Thos. E. McKay presented the graduates with their diplomas and teachers certificates. Telegram From President The following telegram from the President Aaron W. Tracy to the graduates was read. Chicago, 111. May 20, 1924. Thos. E. McKay: Honor and respect to the Board of Education for their constant care, love, and esteem; to the faculty for their faithful labors. Congratulations to the graduates for their approach to service. Tomorrow a new campus; a new building; a greater harvest.Education is valuable only as it builds a high way to service, Happiness is born of righteousness. Righteousness is born of service. Graduates, I congratulate you upon your approach to service. Aaron W. Tracy. In a few terse sentences President McKay indicated the aims of the Board with respect to Weber's future. "We want, as Brother Blay-I lock stated, a four year unit. We are not going backward j to get that four year unit;: we are going ahead. We arc! working to get a faculty that will be equal to any faculty in the United States. We are, pleased to announce that we! have engaged the services of Lester HinchclilT to be the head of the musical depart-j meat next year. Pres. Tracy! has others in view. We want; Latter Day Saint teachers in this institution. You may have no fear with reference! to the faculty next year."

Maybe you remember some of these whose letters are printed below The Editor. Lowestoft, England. April 11, 1924. Editor of the Weber Herald, Ogden, Utah. Dear Sir: Today another Weber Herald came and I feel impressed at this time to take advantage of the few leisure moments that I have, and express to you and the Staff, my gratitude and appreciation for your kindnesses in mailing the many copies of the Herald. I can assure you that they have been read with great interest, for it has been the means of keeping me acquainted with the growth and progress of the school which will always be dear to me. Although at present I am several thousand miles from the school I attended for four years, yet I am still an ardent booster of Weber and of her up to- date and progressive Herald. il la always wilu judl ui iui. that I speak of .Weber Col-(Con leg-e to my associates here in the mission field. At the time of writing, this finds me laboring on the extreme eastern coast of England Lowestoft being the farthcrest city east in England as well as being one of the largest fishing markets in the world. I am enjoying my labors as a missionary very much, although we are greatly mis-understood and persecuted to quite an extent. Under the capable leadership of President D. O. McKay, with whom all Weber students are so well acquainted, the work is advancing and much prejudice is being- allayed.Again assuring you of my n Pfi n ri nn rrtr hp Hpra H appreciation for the Herald with best wishes to all at We-1 ber and for your continued I success, I remain Sincerely, Floyd A. Bailey. Prof. J. Q. Blaylock, Weber College, Ogden, Utah. Dear Brother: I just received a Weber Herald and it was as welcome as a ray of light from a lamp that is thought to have gone out. Not that I thot Weber was dead but most of my friends gone and the school entirely new. My folks found another, home and only left me two interests in Ogden, one Weber and the other a Recommend of Membership in the Church.' and I often wonder if anything could be written on the latter. So the Herald is a welcome friend. Supt. G. O. Larson formerly a teacher in Weber just re- turned from his mission on March 25th. I had the privi - lege of moving into his for- mer office room and discover- ed two old Weber Heralds that he left. It was like being born again. I went back over that whole year at Weber and certainly enjoyed it. I rejoice to hear that Presi dent A. W. Tracy had an op portunity to go to school and I also feel that Weber is in perfectly good hands at the Weber. But Weber College is represented by enough students in California on Missions to cause a person to feel at home here. There are at least 15 Heralds coming here look forward to their arrival Everyone, even Og'den people, enjoy the climate here. According to the residents of this state there are only two kinds of weather. They always say it is "usual weather" today, or it is "very unusual" and hasn't been like this for 40 years. I laugh now that I have spent my second winter here and they say such conditions have never occured before. I have poured hot water on water pipes to melt the ice two years now and this time natives said, "This isn't California weather, it is so unusual. It has never happened before" Just the same, Utah could profit by this method of boosting. We are continually organizing new districts into Sunday Schools, Wards, and Branches. It is a wonderful privilege to work in a field that is growing so rapidly. My work carries me to most of the districts in the Mission. I get to meet all of our people that attend church, as I visit and I suppose that is the best part of them. I would be glad to hear from you and any person in the school that cares to write. Sincerely your former pupil, Jos. G. Jeppson. Dear Brother: Just a few lines to let you know how the representatives of Weber in South Africa are faring. We also take this opportunity of thanking you for sending us the Weber Herald. We enjoy reading it very much. Since arriving we have labored in the Cape Conference and at the present time are laboring in the Transvaal i r t i l ence in. Johannesburg the largest city in South Africa. Johannesburg is in the center of the gold producing district of the Union. The gold reef extends a distance of seventy-two miles and produces some two thirds of the world's gold. This industry has transformed the veld into a thriving city in the space of thirty-five years. In the cities one finds a very Cosmopolitan popula tion, but chiefly consisting of English, Dutch, natives and Malays. The great problem of South Africa is to u-nite these classes of people to build a greater Africa. Especially is the colored problem serious there being many , combined. At . 1 1 the present time because of the cheapness of native labor a great problem of unemployment exists. Missionary work in South Africa is very interesting because of the fewness of elders and the vast .amount of territory we have to work. A transfer from one conference to another is the same as go-ing on another mission in the Slates because the nearest conference to Cape Town being six hundred miles a-wav. The various customs See Us First" Watson-Tanner Clothing Co. 372 Twenty-fourth Street of the people also tend to .make our work interesting, and the mild climate permits us to carry on our regular missionary work at all seasons of the year. Last year was the most successful in the history of the South African Mission. We had more elders laboring here than at any previous time, more baptisms and greater activity in all phases of the work. Our prospects are even brighter for the coming year. Trusting for your success as President of Weber College, we remain Your Brethern, Chester A. Engstrom, Leonard N. Judkins. Hikueru, February Hth, 1924. President Aaron W. Tracy, Weber College, Ogden, Utah. Dear Brother Tracy: I was over joyed at receiving three "Weber Heralds" last mail. It was surely a very happy surprise, and I wish to thank you very much for them. I was glad to hear in them how dear old Weber is taking the lead in everything she takes part in. It sounded very good to hear that Weber took the Championship of the Junior College League, and to hear that they were going to Phoenix, Arizona, to play them. I haven't heard who won yet, but expect to on the next mail. I was also very glad to hear that the new gymnasium will be ready for Basket Ball. I am now in Hikureu, one of the islands in the Low Archepiligo of the Society Islands. You have most likely heard of Hikueru. It is one of the best pearl diving islands in the world. These people are surety wonderful divers; they have a pair of air tight glasses to protect their eyes from the salt water, and a twenty-five pound weight to carry them down. Many of them can go down 125 feet and stay down two and a half minutes. There has. been some large pearls dived for this year, and our saints all come and pay their tithing on the pearls they get. I have been here now ten months and have been studying very hard on thelang'u-ag-e, and can now see some of the fruits of my work. I can carry on a conversation and give a few short talks. I know I have been blessed very much since I came in to the mission field. I have had good health, have been able to see things different than when I was home. I have a testimony that I know that this gospel is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet sent of God in these last days, to restore the Church of Christ upon earth once more). I am thankful I am a Latter Day Saint and that I have the privilege of being a repre-entative of this great church here. And I hope and pray that I may do some good a-mong these people. I would surely appreciate a letter from you if you have time to write. I close now praying- for the Lord to bless you with health and strength to carry on the great work in which you are engaged. I remain as ever your brother in the cause of Truth Elder H. Brown Foulger. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS ELECTED (Continued from Page 1) upon a par with our major sports. Those elected to the student body offices for the next year are fully capable of discharging their duties in a satisfactory manner. All that will be necessary will be the support and cooperation of the individual students. The interest in the election was very keen, practically every student at school on election day voting. Zero A goose egg; nothing; a mark on a report card; some cold. TWO WEBER GIRLS SEARCH FOR THRILLS Most of us are able to withstand the spell of drowsiness that settles down on the school at a certain period every spring. That is, we do not often do anything rash. Only two are known to have lost control this season and they justified their acts by saying they went for the purpose of making news for the Herald. They were Miss Ada Rose, and Miss Dorothy Bal-lantyne.Their objective was the Union Depot but they could not wait so long to get the first shock. A corner drug store with a stock of chocolate bars on the show case beckoned them enter. The complete stock of candy was priced, the names of the chocolate bars recited, the samples submitted, not one satisfied. Sweetless they resumed the journey. When they reached the depot, luckly, all the two o'clock trains were in. Taking out a pencil and paper they walked up to different passengers and presented themselves as newspaper reporters, telling them how pleased the city was to have such distinguished visitors. By such, flattering remaks they were able to obtain considerable interesting personal information. The girls got a real thrill out of this, especially when they entered into a conversation with a per-fectly wonderful young sheik. He told them all about his trip to China and about being there when the Americans were captured. Dorothy and Ada then decided to try something new so they went to a Man in Grey and asked him what they could do to have a little excitement. His advice was to get on a train without a ticket and act "kinda" dumb. "They can't any more than put you off, and the train doen't stop this side of Salt Lake, so you will get a good ride," said the Man in Gray. "That sounds good," said Dorothy, "But how will we get back?" "The same way," said their helper. In a few minutes a conductor came down the walk. "Hy! there," yelled the Man in Grey, "These girls are dumb, and want to go to Salt Lake. They haven't any money."The conductor looked at first one girl and then the other, and tried to talk to them, but all the response he got was a blank pleading look. A softening countenance showed his sympathy. "Well, I guess I can get by with them if they go in the kitchen and wash dishes on the way." "Ugh! Let's go;" groaned Ada. "There's nothing thrilling about washing dishes." FORTY FIVE CLIMB MOUNT OGDEN (Continued from Page 1) the beautiful, the sublime, and the good. The object of our existance will become more plain. And as it took continued effort to arrive here, so will it require continued effort if we are to enjoy these and other related blessings. The trip down was made by way of Malan's Basin, some crossing over again into Taylor's Canyon and others going on down Waterfall. The g-reat banks of snow that still cling to the south side of the canyon afforded many of the hikers thrills galore. Pres. Blaylock was able to make the best speed while Ruth Folkman succeeded in performing the most original antics. Katherine Cannon enjoyed it so much that she enthusiastically declared, "I am going to have a glacier built in my own back yard." Everyone enjoyed themselves to the utmost and the hike was a pronounced success. Due to the fact that it was so near the end of school many of the students had returned to their homes or taken up their summer work which may explain why so few took part. In connection with the hike we wish to express our appreciation to the Browning Bros. Co. win) presented a flag for the occasion and to the Boyle Hardware Co. for a flag and rope, thus doing so much to make the event the great success that it was.

MILLER, Prop. 2472 Washington Avenue HISTORY STUDENTS ARE GIVEN TEST Under the direction of the E d u c a t i onal Department Miss Ilah Naisbitt gave Prof. Blaylock's Western History class a short quiz, testing their knowledge of American History. Most of the students having evaded this subject in College and a few having missed it in High School gave some very interesting answers to these questions. The questions were concerning men of importance in different periods of history, important dates, events, and some historical terms. The results of this test were very interesting. Many new theories and ideas were advanced. Some of the answers are as follows: Paul Pevere's ride was in Gettysburg. Gettysburg was a decisive battle in the Revolutionary war. Ml. Vernon is a noted battle ground. Paul Jones whipped British vessels on Lake Erie. The French and Indian war was fought in 18120. Wilson's assasination was caused by his assuming too much power. The Mason Dixon line was the dividing line between the U. S. and Canada. The Mason Dixon line was 04 40 or fight. Patrick Henry was a typical example of an American pioneer. Lewis and Clark explored 1 MARKET I Phone 2800 5 the Mississippi River. One of the first colonies in America was Hie Mormon Colony. The Rio Grande River was important in the Spanish A-nierican war. If a mob took a prisoner out to hang him, one student would "call the fire department and turn the hose on 'em." The Spanish American war was fought in 1012. The Mason Dixon line was the first attempt at Western expansion. The spoils system was one. cause of the Revolution. In commenting on these J. R. Tribe said that Queen Ann's war was fought in 181i2. A MISTAKE I stood upon a mountain, I looked down upon the j ) 1 a i n , I saw a lot of green stuff That looked like waving grain. I took another look at it, I thought it might be grass, But l.o! unto my horror, It was the Freshman class. Poor little Ray has lost his heart, But he knows where to find it, Leave it alone, and it will come home, I lelen close behind it. Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it every day, and at last we cannot break it. Horace Mann. |
