LADY MEMBERS OF FACULTY ENTERTAIN 50 MINUTE PERIODS ARE INTRODUCED SPARGO'S WEBER HERALD Faculty Social Planned The ladies of the Weber faculty met in the Weber dining room Thursday, February 3, and enjoyed a very .pleasant afternoon. The hostesses tor the occasion were Miss Betty Noble, Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Wilson. The table was decorated with a chrystal vase of pink roses, and the idea of Valentine's day was carried out in decorations and refreshments. Miss Venus Williams, who has just recently returned from a mission to the Eastern States, sang "One Fine Day" from "Madame Butterfly." She was encored several times and responded with appropriate songs. Miss Lenore Cannon gave two hu morous readings in clever style, and Miss Lenore Hinckley and Miss Vivian Peterc.ii delighted the ladies of the clr.:. with several duets. Miss Peter-on and Miss Hinckley have recently returned from the Hawaiian Islands and their selections were sung in the native language. At this meeting it was planned to give a Valentine party for the faculty members and their guests TT,,.rinv February 10, but this was later postponed. The party ha oivpn this evening, February Miss Parry is in charge of the decorations, Mrs. Manning is chairman of the refreshment committee, and Miss Maughan will direct the games. 4 Valentine box with appropriate valentines for everyone feature of the party. will 17. will be a RAMBLING (NURSERY) RHYMES (Luke 25:1-9) And it came to pass in the last days that a decree went forth that the students of the Weber Normal College were overworked and growing thin. And behold many debates rent the air in respect to the overwork. Then all hail, and be exceeding glad, for at the latter end a plan, even the fifty-minute plan, came forth and after a period of strenuous labor for students and faculty it did seem a most mighty relief. Now behold this is a great satisfaction to' the students of the Weber Normal College, for there did formerly appear many ' cob-webbed imaginations in the class rooms and the students did become too weak to dodge the"never-before-heard-of" questions rhot forth by the Cannons of the classes. Therefore it is a matter of great rejoicing for them to have ten minutes subtracted from each class of agony. And now behold these do be the ways in which to use thy ten minutes in the mornings Thou shalt relieve thy conscience of the sins of yesterday. Thou shalt resolve to do better tomorrow (if so inclined when tomorrow comes). Thou shalt write an excuse for thy slutting of yesterday. But behold when thy day's labor at the Weber Normal College be done, then shalt thou seek earnestly after thy seat at the show. Hazel B. LOGIC AT AYOHK What is the shifter's song?

Lewellyn (in Barker contest): For instance, in the Herald, a wonderful little Freshamn poet was discovered. The teachers all praised his work. Have you met this little Freshman poet? Lewellyn informs us that his name is BILL NITE. Last week something unusual happened in Weber. The teachers became inquisitive over the week end, and on Monday the "following questions were asked in all English classes: , 1. How many times a week do , you attend the movies? 2. On what days do you usually go? 3. Name the best pictures you have ever imuu. 4. Name five others which you enjoyed "very much. 5. What type of pictures do you prefer? This caused considerable disturbance among the students. Whispers went through the classes. What did the faculty want this information for? Some students who had occasionally attended shows on Sunday felt guilty and wondered if they were now about to be caught; others who had shitted school to see the movies in the afternoons felt twinges of conscience and many apprehensive fears; still others suspected that the faculty might be trying to discover who studied and who did not, in the evenings. All fears were allayed, however, when it was announced that it would not be necessary for the students to sign their names. The results of the investigation have not been completely tabulated et, but some interesting facts have already come to light. It was. found that some students have been to only one or two movies since school began this year while quite a number attend as often as four or five times a week, frequently seeing two shows in one evening. Judging from the results so far, the boys prefer stories of adventure and thrills, particularly "wild west" and cowboy movies. One stated that he could endure any thing except "love . stories with foyipy rro"'i(3 ' A, ibp VOVS in the older classes admitted, anonymously, that they enjoyed a good love story. Almost without exception the girls mention the love story or romance as their favorite type of movie. Few of them like the "wild west." thriller, but they enjoy melodrama if there is a good love story in the play. Very few of the students mentioned the so-called educational films, pictures of travel, events, or science, as a type of movie they enjoyed. Some recorded their aversion to slap-stick comedy, and very few said that they liked it. Charlie Chaplin was seldom mentioned favorably, but the Harold Lloyd comedies were frequently praised. The purpose of the faculty in conducting this investigation is to determine the type of motion picture shows the students now attend, and to attempt to educate them to enjoy the best productions offered by the theatres. An inquiry will be made to ascertain the type of productions coming to the theatres in Ogden, the merit of the films will be investigated and a list of the best plays will be posted on the bulletin board each week. A short descrip tion of each play will be given so that the students may choose wisely. The faculty considers the movie, if well selected, as a valuable source of education, and wishes to-assist the students in the choice of worth while amusement.
