Where Are The Trophies? Once upon a time, Weber won the State Championship Pennant in Basketball. This may have occurred more than once; the writer confesses his ignorance on the matter. At other times trophies have been presented to the school by various classes and individuals. The class of IWb presented a cup to the school to encourage publicspeaking-; the class of 1911 presented a cup for inter-class track athletics; the Girl's Association of 1918-19 presented a trophy to encourage indoor baseball; James L. Barker presented a cup to encourage extemporaneous speaking- and Browning Brothers presented a trophy to encourage inter-class basketball. But now the clouds of mystery gather and the mists of uncertainty arise. Where are Weber's pennants, trophies, cups, etc.? ? ? A few years ago the trophies were displayed in an appropiate show case and were a source of interest to the casual passerby and a cause of joy to the students. One night a number of Ogden High Students visited us and without asking permission assumed the guardianship of the trophies. However without much litigation they were restored to their rightful owners. Since then the show case has disappeared and the trophies have been removed from the gaze of the faithful. Did High School also take our flags and pennants? If not, where are they? Recently we saw the James L. Barker trophy but only for a few minutes. We understand that it is being kept in the Student Body room with the rest of Weber's treasures. Why not let the students gaze at them again? As a college we ought to show our trophies. We stu dents would like to see the old show case put up again and some of the old pennants and trophies dusted off and brought forth to the light. Yes! We Have No Surveyors, But Expect Two Soon WEBER A SENIOR COLLEGE IN 1926 (Continued from Page 1) and earnestness, than would a disinterested professor. Think then, how much more can be accomplished when the instructors and teachers are working with a personal interest to get the knowledge over to the students which will enable them to live successful lives. The time has come when it is absolutely necessary for a person to have a college education. In spite of this necessity it is hardly possible for everyone to g"et this requirement because of the lack of finance. To go away to obtain a college education takes more than the average person can afford to spend. That every person can re ceive college education senior colleges must be established in places where students are enabled to attend. Weber county, for this rea son is the only logical place in which to build another senior college. Ogden is the second largest city in the state and there are more than enough students here and in me small towns in tne surrounding area to maintain a Senior College. We can easily see how necessary a Weber Senior College is but the question now confronting us is when is the most opportune time to make the inital drive. The answer is we must begin right now! ! ! No time is like the present! Right now the town is being- aroused with a genuine college spirit and a lull in the enthusiasm would be fatal. We must keep going ahead with out one back step. Taking it for granted that we begin immediately and work as fast as it is possible, then Weber will be a Senior College in 192b! ! ! ! Til ere are perhaps many of the students who do not know that Weber offers a class in Surveying in her curriculum. Because of reasons unknown the course was not published in the school catalog-ue. But really there is a class in Surveying, and there are two students in it. Isn't it surprising how many large classes are being conducted here; yet it is a fact. This is part of the service Weber offers. Due to the fact that the class is so larg-e it has only been meeting once a week. This has hampered the progress, samewhat, but both members have solemnly resolved to make up all lost time during the next quarter. There are some prospects of more joining the class in the future, which will make it much easier to carry on the work. The course so far has consisted of experiments to find the length of one's pace. Students have probably noticed the two members over in the park, galloping around like insane persons, but they were only executing one of the experiments per assignment.It is the intention of Prof. Terry to develop first class surveyors out of these studious members before the third quarter is over. Weber is just as well e-quipped in the surveying line as the University of Utah. All of the equipment is new and in perfect adjustment. Over five hundred dollars has been spent for equipment this year. Prof. Terry is a very capable teacher, and ranks with any in the state in the surveying line. As long- as he remains here we can rest assured that Weber will turn out real surveyors. With Gigantic Blowout Fall Quarter Closes Death Knell Tolled Etiology To Our Friend The Canine 1 r Mr. Wilson's umbrella was not to be found anywhere, so he asked the members of his family if they had seen it. "I think that Kay took it last night," said little Garf. "What makes you think so my son?'' "Cause when I was in the hall last night. I heard him say to Helen, 'Well, I guess I'll have to steal one!'" Dogs come in all styles like women's hats. Their habits are divers the most pronounced being eating. Dogs have been known to eat with relish kings and icemen. Chow dogs eat nothing but chow and by the same token it is only reasonable to believe that police dogs eat nothing but policemen; St. Bernard dogs eat nothing but saints, and bulldogs eat bulls. Pekinese dogs do not eat with chop sticks and are useful only because they come in shades and can be worn on the feminine arm to match almost any costume. Lap dogs come from Lapland, or if they do not they should. Some dogs are wonderful sing'ers. Many dogs sing arias from area-ways. The best accompaniment for a canine diva is a small boy with a mouth organ. Fashionable dog's fit into a-partments like radio amplifiers and make almost as much noise. Unfashionable dogs run around allies follow ed by tin cans. Small boys annex the cans, but the dogs by the very light of their eyes finally annex the small boys and heaven has produced no more perfect affinity. All shades of dogs are fash ionable except yellow. The reason is because when a dog is yellow outside he is usually yellow inside. The most popular dog at summer resorts is the hot dog. The coldest dog is the hair-ess Mexican. He is the only dog that trembles when he is not afraid. Hot dogs come in sections, well stuffed, like subway trains. Men are not able to muzzle women so they muzzle dogs. A dog is a man's best friend because he never borrows a cent, although he sometimes begs for a few bones. Sea dogs do not make good lap dogs. Bird dogs should not be fed bird seed. The closest animal to the dog is the Ilea. The flea stands still while its world moves after a rabbit, thus proving the Einstein theory. The dog bites the rabbit and the Ilea bites the dog. This makes the winner a scratch. A flapper is one who looks, acts, talks and dresses the wav her grandmother longed to. Recently the Student Body was delightfully entertained by several examinations. They created such a stir and so much complaining came lrom the students that we decided to interview members of the faculty on this profound procedure. The first member we interviewed being noted for his easy exams, we anticipated a very cordial reception. "Dr. Lind," said we, "what do you think of examinations? Are they right, wrong, or otherwise? How o ften should they come, if ever, and do you enjoy giving them?" The Doctor sat silent for some moments, then clearing his throat he said, "Don't ask any questions. You will have to g-o look it up in the book." This somewhat disappointed us, but still hoping that we might obtain the desired information we went to Prof. Jensen. "Prof. Jensen," we said, "What do you think of examinations? Are they right, wrong, or otherwise? How often should they come, if ever, and do you enjoy giving them?" Prof. Jensen looked slightly puzzled, then said, "Frankly, I do not enjoy giving long tests. Long papers take too much time to correct. Anyway class recitation is what counts. By the way, George, if you see any members of my Zoology class chasing a-round the halls, you might tell them that an outline of our text, with drawings, will be the eighth question in examination. Exams count 75 of the grade." We kindly thanked Prof. Jensen, for this information, and left wondering how short the - other seven questions would be. We then interviewed Dr. Terry. We said, "W hat do you think of examinations? Are they right, wrong", or otherwise? How often should they come, if ever, and do you enjoy giving them?" The Doctor cogitated for some moments and finally said, "Well, speaking of examination papers, they are visually wrong, a few are otherwise, but I never have any that are right." - This was discouraging, but we resolved to try again. We then visited Coach Wilkenson. "Coach," we said. "What do you think of examinations? Are they ." "H ," said the Coach. We left him, and went to Prof. Noble. "Prof. Noble," we said. "What do you think of examinations? Are they right, wrong, . or otherwise? How often should they come, if ever, and do you enjoy giving them?" Prof. Noble meditated. After a few moments she said, "I think that exams are rather a necessary evil. I can not bear to see my pupils suffer during them, so I leave the room. By some way or other my pupils usually manage to We inhibited a desire to embrace Prof. Noble for such kind words and went on our way rejoicing. (We had just registered in two of her classes for the coming quarter.) From our observations we tabulated the following- report:1. That long examinations are painful to those who have to correct them. 2. That Professors enjoy correcting long examinations. 3. That daily work counts more than anything else. 4. That the examinations count at least 75 of the grade. . 5. That there is no use taking examinations, as they are alwa3's wrong. 6. That Prof. Noble is an instructor who pities the suffering ones and slightly alleviates the stupendous burden of the faltering- stude. Pres. D. 0. McKay Sends Appreciation ivn interesting letter was received from Elder David O. McKa3" former president of the Board of Trustees and now president of the European Mission. We appreciate the interest which he continually manifests in Weber College. The letter follows: The Weber Herald Staff, Ogden, Utah. Dear friends: With the American mail last Monday morning- came the first two numbers of the Weber Herald-Vol. 9. They were as welcome as a letter from home. Starting with your editorials, I believe I have read every article, including some of the "jokes." I even read the "Ads." It seemed almost like saying "How do you do?" to the familiar business friends in Ogden. Then, too, I wanted to know what leading business men are really willing to support Weber College. Not every one wdio" sayeth "Weber! Weber!" is a friend to the college, but he who doeth something for her! That friendship is best which takes space in, the "Herald," and sends a monthly cheque, or manifests itself in a good contribution to the Gym. I am a firm believer in the gospel of James, that faith without works is dead, or as Tolstoi interprets it; "A faith without acts is not faith. It is only a disposition to believe in something, an affirmation of belief in something in which one does not really believe. Faith is the motive power of action." Your "Ads," the hours and days spent by business men in the interest of the Gym, and the contribution list, will tea you wno nave laitn in the future of the college, and whose hearts beat in friendship for it. You say that "The aim of the Weber College is to produce men and women of strong character, with highly developed spiritual natures. Of all noble aims, that is the noblest! May every succeeding number of the "Herald" contribute to the accomplishing of it. Weber boys, here in the mission field, are winning more credits for themselves and for Weber. I am proud to be associated with them. Please give my love to President Tracy, members of the Faculty, and to the students, who, I am sure, delight in the ideals of the "Purple and White." Sincerely vours, David O. McKay. DR. SPAETH SPEAKS ON MUSIC (Continued from Page 1) "How's your boy making out at College," asked a friend of Mr. Hales, "Is he giving any evidence of brains?" "Is he.'" replied Slim's papa, "I'll say he is! He may he wabblv on his mathema tics and English, but he's got the best head lor signals on the team." 'low brow' are good music," said Dr. Spaeth. He took for an example the song, "Hail, Hail the gang's all here." This was written by Sir Arthur Sullivan who composed, "The Lost Chord," "Onward Chris tian Soldiers" and other noted selections, the song WTc wont go home until morning" was sung by Marie Antoinette, and is one of the old French folksong's. He then played what he considered the "K)0 per cent American" selection, "Turkey in the Straw. "Recognition," said Dr. Spaeth, "is the first step in the appreciation of music. People like familiar things, and get more fun out of listening to them, than they do in hearing a totally strange selection played. As a conclusion of the lecture Dr. Spaeth sang "Give a Man a Horse He Can Ride", and a very amusing rendition of "Jack and Jill", first in oratorio style, then in jazz, the American Style. Then he played it with intense emotion, according to the Italian opera version. The lecture was well worth hearing, and we hope to have the opportunity of hearing-many of a similar nature and interest throughout the rest of the school year. Stude; "I thought you were going to call me up the other day." Another, "I was, but mother came home sooner than 1 expected and the first thing I knew she had dusted off the living- room table, and it was there that I had put your telephone number."
