Show Yell! Yell ! Yell! VOL. V Ogden Tigers Record Crowd Is in Attendance The largest crowd, that ever witnessed a basketball game at Weber, filled the assembly hall on Tuesday, February 22, when Weber played Ogden High School. After Weber's defeat of Davis on Friday, the interest was much keener than if Weber had not won from Davis. Coach Watson's Weber Normal College hoopsters completely outclassed the Ogden Tigers in the hoop battle, the former aggregation winning with a score of 2 4 to 14. The Tigers failed to play the same brand of ball in this contest that was noticeable in the former one in which they defeated Weber, while the W'eberites showed improvement in all departments of the game. The ice was broken by Budge of Weber coring the first point of the game from the foul line. Smith of Ogden then caged a pretty field basket from midfield, . making the count 2-1 for the Tigers. f' Two field baskets, in succession by Lindsay place! the Weberites again out in the front, which position they held until two minutes before time sounded at the end of the first half. Two field goals and a free throw gave the Weberites an S to 7 score at the end of the first half. Con'inued on Page 3 WEBER, B. Y.

A. during the Christmas holidays, Mr. William Z. Terry was elected chairman of that section. Mr. Terry attributes his election partly to the interest that is being shown in the book that he is now writing, which makes many improvements in the teaching of algebra. When Mr. Terry took out his master's degree at the University of Utah, he wrote this book as his vhesis. It has, been taught for several years and after each year lie has revised it. Miss Cannon is now teaching it in her algebra classes and after this year's work, another revision will be made. The book is not yet ready for publication.Patrick worked for a notoriously stingy boss and lost no chance to let the fact be known, one day a waggish friend wishing to twit him, remarked, "Pat, I hear your boss pust gave you a knew suit of clothes." "No." said Pat, "only a part of a suit." "What part?" said the friend. "The sleeves in his vest," replied Pat. Wanted; a stopper for Bill Chen-ney's mouth. LET'S Are Defeated By Weber WHAT IS A FIRE-DRAKE?Around this bird, beast, or phantom is woven the interesting plot of "The Fire Prince," the name of the comic opera to be presented by the students of Weber under the direction of W. H. Manning. About fifty students have gone dinnerless for weeks, in order to learn the choruses and dances which are great features of the opera. Mr. Manning says this production should surpass all local productions seen in Ogden for years. The chorus is strong and well balanced, the principals well trained and six of the cleverest dancers of the "Three Twins" 'will do the fancy dancing as fairies, and demons, under the direction of .Mi's. Maxwell, instructor at the Berthana. Costumes, most of which will be made at the College, will be quaint and elaborate. With four more weeks for hard work, the cast will be in superb form to give a fine entertainment. It might be mentioned that all principals are students of Weber, j trained in the department of music. ! "The Fire Prince" was written ! by Henery Hadley, one of the foremost American composers and musicians. The music rairly ripples with beautiful melodies, and the plot calls, forth an abundance of mirth. The scenic effects are wonderful, displaying the journey of the seven league boots and the resurrection of two fallen heroes. Those who have witnessed the rehearsals have become very enthusiastic over the beauty and action of the opera.

J:1 'LOST PARADISE" BIG ARTISTIC TRIUMPH Enthusiastic Audiences Enjoy Weber's Annual School Plav "The Lost Paradise," presented by Weber students under the direction of Mrs. McKey at the'Orpheum last Tuesday and Wednesday, March first and second, was an unusual artistic success. In every detail of setting, costuming and acting, the play was presented with professional finesse. The cast and the director deserve great credit for the effort and talent which combined to make the play, "The Lost Paradise" a notable event. The theme of the "Lost Paradise" is the struggle between capital and labor, a vital problem of the hour, a problem which, as the heroine says, should concern the women as well as the men. The sympathy of the audience is held throughout by the gripping presentation of this idea. The play tells the story of Reuben Warner, a lad born in poverty, who works his way up. He is a genius who has invented the Volta Dynamo, but who is robbed of his invention by the owner of the Knowlton Iron Works. Warner loves the daughter of Knowlton and because of this love protects her father from threatened strikes and from the disgrace which would result were his guilt disclosed. Margaret, however, spurn? the love of Warner, calling him a "workman" in her father's facte ry, and becomes engaged to Standish. a selfish, stubborn egotist. In t;ie end through the loyalty of Neil, who 'ove- Warner, Margaret lec ,-ns the truth, and comes to understand that Wnrner is the man she really loves. The play is replete wi'j comic seriousness and tragedv is also Called. . Ruth Scowcroft as Margaret Knowlton made a charming heroine. The role was difficult, because Margaret, while she feels the pride of an aristocrat in her position, still has sweetness and depth and sympathy in her character. Miss Scow-croft's handling of this role showed great insight into the character and talent in presentation. Leon Bush, as Warner, gave a sincere and convincing performance As the man who had risen from the ranks, the man who would deal justly with both sides, he held the sympathy of tne audience throughout. Cora Mortenson in the role which Maude Adams played, Nell the factory girl, was appealing. She carried a difficult emotional role with professional skill. A pleasing love story was introduced by Elija Clawson as the merry Bob Appleton who decided to settle down to finding twigs for a love nest, and Marguerite Rogers as Polly, the demure, adorable little country girl, who discovered he was "poppin' " and consented to help make the nest in the sugar-plum tree. The character of Knowlton was effectively portrayed bv Wallace Budge and Mrs. Knowlton, the proud, shallow aristocrat, was excellently played by Georgia Tate. The comedy was furnished liberally by "Cinders," played by Dorothy Nichols and her "true mash," Leroy Johnson. Carl Ballantyne, as the villain, made the character of Standish cor-dialy disliked by the audience. His characterization was excellent and he even had the black mustache. The foreman and workmen at the factory gave the atmosphere of reality necessary to the production. The spokesman for the laborers. Rulon Peterson, was especially real, and David Bybee was effectively disguised beneath an Egyptian beard. Ira Terry as Old Bensel added a touch of pathos to the pleas of the men. Francis O'Niel as the maid, and Gladys Green as Kate, Bensel's daughter, took their parts very well. The setting for the play was ex-Gontinued on Page 3 Weber Wins NEW BUDGET SYSTEM At the latest meeting of the board of control, a temporary finance com mittee was appointed for the remainder of the year to determine the student activities, this committee will also handle the financial affairs of the student association, the board of control has adopted the budget system and each activity will have its own program and will report just how much it must have for its necessities.

A certain preacher said that drunkards went to Hell and for their punishment had to swim around eternally in a pool of wine and whiskey. Oh death, where is thy sting. WHAT IS DOMESTIC SCIENCE? Mrs. Tanner of the Domestic Science Department is proving that domestic science is not a course merely to teach planning, cooking and serving of meals, but that it includes the planning, furnishing and arranging of the entire home. The Senior girls of the Domestic Science department have been given the opportunity of visiting some of the model homes in Ogden, to see good examples of the things they are studying about. After these visits each girl makes a plan for a house in which she plans the artistic furnishing and arrangement of it. She learns how lines and color can make or mar a home from the artistic point of view. In the near future the girls are to visit a lumber mill,, where they will study different kinds of wood which are used in home decoration. Visits have also been made to the Sperry Flour Mill and to other manufacturers of food materials. While the work is still theoretical to a great, extent, the girls of Weber hertofore have not had such an opportunity of practical study and they are not unappreciative.

NO. 11 Brilliant Game Over Davis First Defeat for Davis in Two Years The Davis High basketball team went down to defeat at the hands of the Web'er team Friday, February 18. This is the first defeat in, two years for Davis in a league game. Although outclassed in size and weight the Weber five fought with bull dog determination to win. It was possibly the best game played on the college floor, this season. The boys displayed wonderful ahilitv throughout the entire game. the manner in which Hickman played the position as mard was a big feature of the game. Budge and Parry played excellent ball as forwards while Lindsay and Watkins covered the floor with excentinnal swiftness. A large crowd witnessed the came and considerable interest was shown. The Weber students were loyal to the team and yelled with the spirit, that no doubt helped the local boys to romp home with honors. The lineup and summary: Weber. " Davis.

SPARKS FROM EXTEMPORANEOUS - DEBATES Two classes in English Voe'.e-in-iilfu rhc t iciory over High by holding extemporaneous debates on very important questions of the dav, namely, "Resolved: That men should do the housework," and "Resolved: That the newspaper is a better companion for a man than a wife." In debating the first question, Joseph Jeppson gave a very thorough definition: "Men," he said, "means married persons of the masculine sex, and house work means work in the house." Leonard Wright maintained that housework would be injurious to a man's physical welfare. "Washing dishes,'' he declared, "would produce chapped hands and arched backs, walking endlessly after a carpet sweeper would make flat feet, and scrubbing could not help producing knock knees and bow legs." Howard Belnap said that if a man did the housework the woman would return from the office, scold and do it all over again anyway. Beatrice Gale, for the affirmative, proved by example from the faculty that those who did the housework had the hardest muscles and the least surplus flesh. She also remarked that "Monk" Halliday, though he might be difficult to manage at first, would be a marvel when once broken In 1o dishwashing and scrubbing. "Monk," who debated the affirmative of the second question, retorted very ably. "Just suppose I were married to Beatrice," he said. "Could I eat my supper in peace? She's too good at argument. You can shut up a newspaper, but how about a wife?" "Jeff" Baillif and Allen Burnham argued that a man couldn't expect a newspaper to cook his breakfast, or clean his rooms, or nurse him through a sick spell. "What's a hotel for? What about doctors and hospitals?" asked "Monk." Then he declared that a fellow could get well quicker by just "hanging around" than by trusting to the home-made remedies suggested to his wife by his mother-in-law. "And as for cleaning house," he added, "I reckon if a fellow could swing a baseball bat, he could swing broom." Continued on Page 5 |
