In 19U4-5 under the leadership of David O. McKay, the faculty and students first became enthusiastic over this movement. Rallies and banquets were held and committees were appointed. These committees visited from house to house gathering donations for the "gym" fund. Two hundred dollars was raised. Then due to a change in the school administration this wave of enthusiasm died out. A few years elapsed in which only feeble efforts were made to continue the drive. Then came the great World War with the result that the gymnasium was, for the time, placed in the back ground. After the war President McKay secured a promise from the Church to pay half the cost of such a building. The first plans were made. The building was to cost sixty five thousand dollars. Upon reconsideration, however, it was decided that seventy five thousand dollars would be the minimum cost. Later it was raised to one hundred thousand, and finally to three hundred thousand dollars. This was thought to be the right sum to pay for a gymnasium which would serve Weber College, Ogden City, and Weber county. Each of the stakes in Weber county was required to raise a portion of this fund. The stakes not only made their quota but went over the top. We appreciate their splendid cooperation in this matter. Last Spring school was dismissed for two days that the students might go out and earn money to contribute to the gym fund. When they returned on Monday each student turned in two dollars of the money he had earned. One thousand dollars was placed on the table that morning. The Alumni have also been enthusiastic workers in behalf of the gym. Thru their untiring efforts they have produced three plays and given the proceeds to the fund. Professor Josephs coached two of these plays and freely gave his valuable time to the cause. As students we are indeed grateful for his services and the splendid support rendered by the Alumni Association.President David O. McKay, the father of the gymnasium, has a worthy successor in President Aaron W. Tracy. He has worked unceasingly in its behalf. It was President Tracy who conceived the idea of allowing the students to work two days and contribute their wages to the fund. It was President Tracy who as head of the Alumni association worked continu ously in the promotion of this project. But what reward is there for all of this labor? The reward, fellow students, is the possession of a gymnasium that can not be equaled in all the West. A gymnasium which offers in its departments all the various physical exercise necessary to the proper development of ths human body. Is not this enough? SUPT. KARL HOPKINS VISITOR AT WEBER (Continued from Page 1) "We want you to be prepared when you come to the city schools. Don't neglect your opportunities to gain knowledge. Every class you have today, every idea you get will stand you in stead later on. "The Ogden city schools are open to Weber College. They are open to you as a laboratory. I want you to put your heart and soul into your work while you are here so that when you come to the city schools they will receive benefit as well as you." He advised the students to remain in school as long as they could. "Don't be in a hurry," he said. "Don't take the short cuts." In addition to the above qualifications of a successful teacher he gave the normal requirements made of all teachers who enter the city schools. To teach in the elementary schools one must have completed a two year normal course and have had two years of professional training..The requirements of a Junior High School teacher are three years of college work and two years of professional training. The requirements of a High School teacher are a four year course of study in the subjects to be taught and two years teaching experience. It is all a question to me. Charles Hussey and David Kennedy are constantly making announcements at Ogden High. Why should so much attention be paid to "High" when Weber has a more complete field in this regards? Every day immediately after Theology these two fellows can be seen hurriedly thrusting on their coafs, walking briskly out the front door and east through Lester Park. One glance at these queer fellows in their mad rush eastward will convince you that they know where they are going and for what purpose. On one occasion I asked them why the hurried trip every noon? And Dave answered, "We are going up to the High' School to make an announcement." Now that doesn't sound very reasonable to me, an announcement every noon.

UNION MEETING The members of last year's debating team, were called upon to present a model debate for the recreational board of the Mt. Ogden Stake, at their union meeting Sunday December 9th. Due to the inability of one of the members to attend, Clarence Brown, one of Weber's former debators, ably filled the vacancy. The question debated was Resolved: that Utah should adopt a state constabulary. David Kennedy and Clarence Brown debated the affirmative and Myra Wright and Rulon Beus the negative. It is the work of those comprising the recreational board to conduct debates in each of their respective wards during the month of December. The debate presented at the union meeting was very well received and seemed to be greatly appreciated. Several of the members pronounced it highly entertaining, as well as instructive. A CHALLENGE Having proved our superiority in physical powers, endurance and speed we are anxious to match our intellectual power with that of the noted Runts. Therefore, we the undersigned, do hereby challenge the sawed off Runts to a debate, to take place in devotional. The question for discussion will be: Resolved, That the Board of Control should pass laws compelling Weber's lean, long, slender, hungry-looking "studes" to either get fat or wear suspenders. Constitutionality waived. The speeches will be three minutes in length. Each speaker will be given one minute for rebuttal. The most incompetent judges will be obtained so that an unbiased and just decision of the debate will be rendered. Signed: Van Tanner. Robert Burton. James Lindsay. Pelicans. A 'S' ' For ages past women have been considered the greatest artists in "jaw wagging." Now, we have evidence to prove the contrary. Where is our proof? You can never forget last Friday's Yucatan Marathon, in which the boys showed the greater skill in the use of the oscillatory powers of human jaws. Pard, a representative of the Ogden Standard Examiner, was given a rather frigid reception in Wednesday's Assembly all because he failed to show his press card. Mr. Tracy said, had he known the dog was a member of the Standard staff, he would have granted him all the privileges accorded news-paper people. Pard, though publicly reprimanded by President Tracy, for his boistrous conduct, was not offended and was loath to leave the Assembly room. However, now his identification is established, the dog is free to wander wheresoever he wills.
