From the time the gridders alighted from the train, to the time they departed, they were kept in joyous spirits by Arizona entertainment.They were privileged to visit the great Salt River Valley, which is a veritable garden spot. I lere they partook of the varied fruit of the tropical clime. They also visited Mesa, and saw the temple being erected there by the Church. The stay of the team in Phconix was a glorious one. Hardly a minute passed without they were riding, dancing, playing, eating or being entertained in some other way. Weber is indeed indebted to Phoenix for this wonderful and entertaining trip of the Purple and White warriors. WEBER IS GROWING Valuable pages of the history of Weber College have been written in the past few weeks. Things have been accomplished which have scattered the fame of this school far and wide, and which have more firmly established it as a Junior College. As this is the first year Weber has been on a college basis in all departments, we feel that already unusual success has been attained. Winning the State Junior College Championship in football introduced this school into the College hall of fame. Then because of the brand of ball displayed in the Arizona Utah game, Weber e-stablished herself as one of the leading Junior Colleges of the Western States. Articles published in Cali fornia and Arizona papers go to show that Weber is recog nized as a real college and that the team it sent out was a strong, clean aggregation, of which any college could be rightfully proud. LIBRARY A few weeks ag-o a big-move was made by the Sophomores to contribute to the school library. What has become of this worthy endeavor is to be found out. The other day the librarian confessed that one book had been contributed, but the reporter forgot to ask whether it was contributed by a Sophomore or a Freshman. There is enough shelf space in the library to hold all the books that either or both classes may desire to give. It has been noticed that since the purity squad ransacked everything this empty space has increased, which means more room for more books. The Weber library to meet the requirements of a school of this calibre must be increased by at least two thousand volumes. This will eventually come if the students will lend their push. It is another g-ood opportunity for the classes to show what they boast they have. Sophomores remake your good resolution, Freshmen join in and let us see the library increased to meet the needs of such an instition as the Weber College. STAKE PRESIDENTS BEHIND WEBER The four stake presidencies continue loyal to Weber College. Last night in their meeting they voted to sustain all the activities of the students. They then called upon the several stake recreational committees and the Mutual Improvement Associ ations and obtained their promise of earnest support. We can now expect the attendance at our games avid dances to increase materially as we know these associations are behind the college. They will substantially aid us in cheering our teams on to victory. FOOTBALL MEN We do not like to laud our football boys too much, but they really deserve all the praise we can bestow upon them. However we are not a-lone in this matter. Read what Coach Heidenreish, of the Phoenix College, has to say about them. Here is his letter to Coach Wilkinson. Commercial Hotel, Phoenix, Arizona. Hello "Coach": Sorry I couldn't see you a-gain before you left certainly wish you the best of luck. You have a great "bunch" and Phoenix people appreciate the clean "gang" you brought with you. Merry Xmas and best wishes. Coach Heidenreish. STUDENT ASSOCIATION NEEDS SUPPORT OF STUDENTS In so far as it is possible, the Associated Students of Weber College is aself-sustaining organization. In past years the expenses of the various activities, and the incidental expenses of the association have been paid from the fees collected from each student, for membership in the association. This was when thjc student body numbered five hundred or more. Since the number of students has decreased to less than three hundred, many difficulties, of a financial nature, have arisen. Most of the activities demand just as much money now as when there were more students and so there are the same expenses to meet, but less income with which to meet them. This condition necessitates the student body making more money from the activities. It has been the policy of the school to honor the student body tickets at the various athletic contests and most of the dances. In as much as this year finds the association very low in finances, why could not the students pay a nominal fee of twenty-five cents for these amusements. It would not be an added burden to them, as most of them spend that price thrice over for shows and knickknacks. This is only a suggestive plan to aid in solving the problem. In order that each student may fully appreciate the deficit which is to be met this year, we print here a financial statement of the association:Estimated Budget: Acorn $1,800.00 Advertising- 500.00 Athletics 1,500.00 (Spent $802.02). Awards 500.00 Banquets 100.00 Dances 240.00 (Spent S136.7o). Debating 200.00 Herald 800.00 (Spent 330.00). Hikes 75.00 Spent $o5.45) .

'iiiiiimiiuimimuiiiiii i iiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ARE THE BOYS GOING TO BE ENTERTAINED? He, "When do we celebrate?" Another he, "What do you mean?" He, "Just what I say; when do we celebrate?" The other He, "We just got through celebrating. Where were you founders day? He, "Oh founders' day isn't much. Haven t you ever been to the Girls' dance?" The other He, "No." Then he does not know what he has missed, does he? Why the Girls' dance is the biggest event the Girls put over during the year. It is the climax to a great day of celebration during which the girls endeavor to entertain the "Weary Willies" of the school. As the girls are now in supreme authority, and as they will be so for some time to come, we can expect a stupendous day of mirth when this frolic is staged. But thus far this year it has been held a deep secret. Not an inkling concerning this festivity has saluted the auricles of our news hound. The boys are anxious. Each one, in some way, is plucking petals from the fatal flower and saying, "she me, she me not, she me etc., ad infinitum.Oh that fate will soon soothe each troubled brairi, and calm each aching heart by bringing forth the Girls' day of joyous entertainment. SPORT BRIEFS Jerry Blackburn won all of thirty-tw cents in the Black Jack and Poker game, which was in progress between here and Phoenix, Arizona. We might ask Mr. Terry to calculate the exact amount won per mile. ft "Clix" Barker, our excellent left end, won much comment on his playing in the Phoenix Weber contest. Let it be said that he deserved it all. ft "Smitty" although knocked unconscious in the game at Phoenix, won much admiration from the spectators. He handled his team in the usual manner expected of him, his strategy being just as good as that of Barto Davis. ft O. Zinn did not get hold of a fumble at Phoenix but he played an exceptional brand of ball. It was not his fault; there wasn'tj a fumble to pick up. It seems that some of our good Weber fellows tried to g-o to the bad in Los Angeles. We might ask Slim, Morris, Monk, Al, and O, to explain what they found out about the "Bowery." ft ft Frank Robinson, our missionary date maker, was certainly pleased to see us all. He was also sorry to see us leave. Many thanks to him for the good time 'we all' had. ft ft The Football Glee Club rendered many selections on the trip. More than once Prof. Blaylock had to explain that we were a football team, and were not being transfered to an asylum. ft We guess the team remembers the enterprising reporter for the Colton, California Gazette. Captain Couch, especially, should not forget her. ft ft There is a famine in Southern. California and Arizona. All the available oranges were eaten by the Football men. ft ft Long will we remember the scrap for the lower berths on the return journey. We, upper berth men, hope that the lowers all caught their death of cold. ft ft We can still see Pete when his berth suddenly decided to do the grand closing act. Also Plummer, hunting all over the car for his pillow. "Hate food." "Why?" "Spoils my appetite." Saturday ii mi uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mil ii i ii The Ogden High is scheduled to play the Bear River High tomorrow night. Ogden fandom will then be when these two High School lead. Although he has not geon-toed. Well, there's a knees and pigeon-toes. The Ogden fans will be treated to one of the best games to be played in Ogden when the two High School teams take the floor. Bear River, although they did not show to much advantage last year because of inexperience, will be one of the strongest contenders to gain entrance in the High School tournament this spring. They have many of last years men in togs, the foremost among them being V. Harris, forward, C. Grover, guard and Christensen, center. With such men as these, developed under excellent coashing, we can rest assured that Ogden High will have her hands full. We all know the coaching ability of Kapple of Ogden High. We know that if his team enters the High School race for the pennant, that they will be well up in the race. Although he has not mentioned his hopefuls, we think that possibly the four best bets are, Clark, forward, Wade, forward, Blackham, guard and Doxey, forward, who was one of Webers bright lights last year. This game will be replete with action from start to finish. Are You Sure That You Are Not Pigeon Toed? Have you noticed a number of the students walking pigeon toed. Well, there's a reason for it. The classes in Hygiene and Sanitation have been studying the "D isorders of Growth" including knock-knees and pigeon toes. Prof. Jenson told them, that to some extent, the intelligence of a person can be told by the way he places his feet in walking. After discussing the effects of pigeon-toedness and its relations to mentality he said, "One time, in a discussion with a friend physiologist, I asked him if a Mr. A was very mentally efficient. In reply he said, Mr. A walks with his toes away out'. This was a sign that he was slightly deficient in and around the cerebrum." Since this discussion we have noted, that even to their inconvenience and discomfort, the students of Hygiene are walking pigeon-toed. DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The girls of the Home Construction Class are making visits to some of the model homes of Ogden, for the purpose of observing their construction and arrangement. The new ideas gained will help each student to plan her own ideal home. BOYS CLASS Recently the Boys Cooking Class prepared and served a model dinner to the Faculty and their partners. The menu was as follows: Pickles Salted Peanuts Fruit Cocktail Turkey Dressing Creamed Potatoes Brown Sauce Cranberry Sauce Peas in Timbale Cases Hot Rolls Butter Balls Celery Pineapple Salad Marguerittes Date Pudding Cream Whip Marshmallows. There were 22 people served. The boys served the dinner without making one mistake and were congratulated by the faculty for their high culinary efficiency. Mistress "Who broke that china jug?" Maid "The cat, mum." Mistress "What cat?" Maid "Why, ain't we got one?' ' O.

The question this week is: How can an innocent college chap remain single during 1924 without hurting some dame's feelings?Harrison Parker, "Try to look like you belong to the House of David Band or something." Charles Hart: "Don't spoil your complexion by the use of water." Sooner's Club in chorus: "Just act natural." Fred Berghout: "Cut off your ears, pull out your teeth, wear goggles, and then disguise yourself." TRIBUTE PAID TO FUONDERS (Continued from Page 1) Brimhall then spoke for a few minutes, after which the instructions for the parade were given to the assembly. The afternoon was attended by many who were unable to come to the morning session. Brother Thomas E. McKay conducted the meeting, which was opened by a violin solo by Miss Mary Fisher, "Valse" by Chauminade Chopin. Invocation was offered by John Watson. A Trio, consisting of Ernest F. Oborn, pianist, Mary Fisher. violinist, and Mrs. Ray Carr, cellist, played a beautiful selection from Chopin, which drew hearty applause from the audience. Lorenzo Waldran, one of the first three teachers in the Weber Academy, established in 1889, gave a short talk on the Old Weber Academy and its founders. Adam S. Ben-nion and Ex-Mayor Francis both gave short speeches, commending the students upon their attitude and expressing their good wishes for the advancement and upbuilding of this college. "Serenade" by Kreisler, was played by Miss Fisher, and Dr. Brimhall spoke a few words of greeting to the assembly. D. R. Wheelwright read a resolution which was to be forwarded to one of Weber's earnest supporters. Elder Stephen L. Richards, of the Counsel of the Twelve, then addressed the students for the remainder of the time. He expressed the conviction that the Commission of Education would support Weber College to the extent of its ability.. The Evening Session was conducted by D. R. Wheelwright. It consisted of a One Act Play, Report and Explanation of Alumni Chapter by Pres. Tracy, Stunt by Class of '05, and a "come-back" by the class of '25, "Yes, We have No Grandchildren." Superin tendent Bennion spoke, and a "Mixed Quartet" (very mixed) rendered several selections. The quartette was composed of James Lindsay, Gerald Blackburn, Earl Garr and Jesse Lillywhite. The Class of '05 were promised $50, by President Tracjr, if they would have their posterity present. The class failed in this but President Tracy gave them the check credited to the Alumni Association. This started the ball rolling. Brother D. R. Wheelwright of class '96 then! presented the Alumni Association with $100. The ball continued to roll. Mrs. Rosella Ferrin Larkin, of class '08 and Mrs. Jeanette McKay Morrell, class adviser of '05, each presented the Association with $100. This completes the pledge of the A-lumni to raise $1,000 each year for the new college building. The Student Association has made a similar pledge, but have not 3-et filled their quota. The assembly adjourned to the Central Junior gymnasium at the conclusion of the program and witnessed a game between the alumni and Weber. All of the guests were not able to see the game so they returned to the Weber Auditorium and spent the remainder of the evening in dancing. in n m u i i miiiiiiuiiii PROPER POSITION IN DANCING We have been requested a great many times to define the proper positions used in social dancing. We are pleased to submit the following article for publication in the Weber Herald: All good looking and modest positions are proper in ballroom dancing-. The position that is accepted by people of judgment and refinement is as follows: The gentleman's right hand is placed on the lady's side, somewhere between her hip and armpit, his lingers reaching toward and nearly to her spine. Her lei t hand is placed on, or near his shoulder; his right elbow being raised and pointing out, with a firm contact of his right and her left elbows If this contact is not in their elbows it will be formed by their bodies, which is neither good form, nor modest. His left and her right hands are lightly joined and extended The couple should be par allel to, and facing each oth er, in order to dance well to gether, with the riglit foot of each pointing- between the feet of the other. Each should look to the left and not breathe into the other's face. This is good hyg-iene and practical. A good position and car riag-e of the individual and taste in the grouping of the couple will give the desired picture of refinement. Leadership on the gentleman's part, with a positive knowledge of his steps and where to go, and the ability to follow (or be a good accompanist) on the lady's part constitutes g-ood dancing. Stens have very little to do with good dancing, but the rhythm, posture, grouping, lead and follow, ease, style, and interpretation of the music (thereby giving each dance an individual character) has everything to do with good dancing. I am sorry to note that the older people who dance are more or less reverting to the old dances. This shows that they are not willing to learn the modern dances, which are better and thereby set a worthy example in the dancing of today. They seem to expect the thoughtless, if not reckless immoral youngsters to reform themselves. This condition can only broaden the breach between the parents and children on the question of dancing and conduct. Sincerely, Christensen's School of Dancing, by Wm. F. Christensen. Warning To Those Who Will Not Heed In orderto detect any movements towards matrimony, which may result in jeopardizing the souls of any members of the bashful set, it has become necessary to organize a nuptial detective agency. Already a report has been received concerning one of the prominent couples of the school, who are so closely allied together that the sounding of wedding bells is inevitable.Far be it from this agency to turn to nought the secret of these two, but in the interests of the whole school it is deemed necessary to expose this nefarious plan before it is too late. Even if it is too late for this particular couple it will serve as a warning to all young men, who think this Leap Year business is just a joke. Accordingly in the next issue of this paper this Agency will take the liberty to publish the names of these two parties concerned unless, in the meantime, these parties herein mentioned shall have had a personal interview with the Chief detective. As his time is very valuable stipendiary emoluments will be in order. However the Agency wishes to extend to the bride its heartiest congratulations for her speedy work in so suc-cessfuly performing this wonderful fete since January 1, 1924. uiuiiiiiiiimiimiiiuiiiiumiiiiiiuiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin in iiinimi inninir 1 SOAPSUDS 1st P.

TAKE NOTICE GIRLS, HERE'S BEAUTY HINT The rumor has lately been circulated in Beauty Parlor Circles that artificial eyelashes are really coming into vogue, that the girls are wearing them, and that they are proving a real "KNOCKOUT." It is said that these aids to beauty are gently glued, on the eye lids, and barring accidents they are expected to stay there for an indefinite period. In this e-vent it is supposed that when the fair dames cry, instead of shedding salty teare, they will shed their eyelashes, which may or may not be true. Just think what a terrible strain it would be on the poor girl to restrain herself from flirting, (for of course this would have to be true) she would not dare flirt for fear of winking her eyelashes off. This would be a very good way of introducing a society for the prevention of osculation, for when a fellow went to kiss his sweetie, he would more than probably get a mouthful of eyelashes. The Blue Laws have instituted a new method of procedure, now that Leap Year is being ushed in. The great number of bachelors has been increased year by year, and of necessity (?)' the aumber of Old Maids has also greatly increased. The girls are therefore to be provided with artificial eyelashes on or aftjer January 1, 1924, and if within a specified length of time the girls have not succeeded in vamping a man, they deserve the doom of old maids. One bright person in commenting upon the matter has said, "Well, the idea of artificial eyelashes may be a good one, but let me hand a wise word to the girls. One Wink before the glue is dry, and the flirtation is all gummed up." Portia's small brother, "She ain't in, sir." Lee Hales, "Come, tell me the truth and I'll give you a dollar. Is she in?"

"These men paid the necessary bills and the janitor and then divided what was left among them as salary. However, the church later came to their rescue, and gave them some tithing script."
