Show r PAGE TWO THE WEBER HERALD Thursday, June 5, 1924. THE WEBER Published every other Monday during the school year by students of Weber College. Official paper of the Weber College Address all communications to Weber Herald, Ogden, Utah. The Weber Herald Staff EDITOR Rulon Beus Associate Editors, J Vernald Johns, Erma Valentine, Rulon Jenkins. Sports Editor Orval Winkler Feature Editor Lavon Hoyt Department Editor Ada Rose Exchange Editor ...... Edna Brown Special Writers Margaret Garrison, Elanore McMullin, Fedora Laycook. Business Manager Robert Burton Circulation Manager J. Leland Gibson Typist Elizabeth Shaw The Staff hereby extends appreciation to those students and friends who have contributed articles and reports for the material in this issue. EDITORIAL A WORD OF APOLOGY Sonic lime has elapsed since the last issue of the Herald, the resignation of the business manager and the subsequent drive for the "Acorn" advertising necessitating a suspension of publication. While under the conditions it was quite unavoidable, care should be taken that it docs not happen again. A news publication must be kept alive. Such delays as this give a paper a "history book' tone or make it read like a college annual. Effort expended in buUding up an efficient exchange is thus set at naught and, to a certain extent, the confidence of contributors is lost; a gentleman always promptly acknowledges correspondence. To be effective a College publication must be put on an efficient business basis. We trust our readers will accept the above explanation and continue to extend to the Herald their goad will. THE MOUNT OGDEN HIKE Ogden and Weber College cannot afford to underestimate the importance of Weber's Mt. Ogden Hike. Here about Ogden we have some of the finest scenery to be found in all the world. The view from the top of Mount Ogden is magnificient beyond description. The Great Salt Lake, the wonder of America, may be seen shimmering in the afternoon sunlight. Beautiful valleys nestled among the lofty snow capped mountains present a scene the beauty of which can nowhere be equalled. It is uplifting, inspiring, aind impossible to forget. The completion of the Weber trail will make it easily accessable to every body. If inlormed of its beauties people would come from all over the state to participate in the climb; tourists would stop over a day to visit the peak. Every resident of Ogden should make the trip. To see the beauties among which he is living will make him proud of his mountain home; a home love that will pay dividends in civic accomplishment will rise in his breast. It is an asset that Weber College and Ogden City can-npt fail to capitalize and deserves greater support on the part of the students than it was accorded this year. OUR YEAR BOOK Handicapped by limited funds and by a late start our Acorn staff has accomplished the seemingly impossible. The book, this year, while hardly as larg'e as some of our annuals have been, is a fitting' monument to our years work. In elegance and artistic beauty it probably surpasses any previous edition. In its excellence it is typical of the spirit that has prompted all of our years activities. The cartoonists clever recording of the gay events that have transpired' is the work of artists. In completeness and wealth of humor the calendar is without equal. A substantial leather cover gives the Acorn a distinguished appearance it has never known before. We cannot say too much in praise of the editors, Miss Wilson and Mr. Poulter, the members of their staff, and Miss Betty Noble of the faculty who assisted them in making the book. CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IDEAL HUSBAND By an Idealist. First of all he must love cherish and obey. The ideal husband is the man who rec-og'nizes his wile's superiority. She is more delicately attuned to life's problems than he and therefore her judg'-ment should be accepted in the adjustments of the government of the home. Second. The financeer of the home should by all means be the wife. On each payday the careful wife meets her husband with the command "Halt! Unload!" whereupon he promptly and meekly hands her his check in humble submission, and goes into the dining room to investigate the evening meal. Third. lie should participate in the duties of the home, as helping with the washing', if the wringer is of the "armstrong" model, he should furnish the strong arm to turn the crank. He should assist in preparing the meals, and doesn't of necessity have to be an oculist to cut the eyes out of the potatoes. He should see the dust under the bed and buffet and not hesitate to bend his back to remove it. He must be a man of great physical strength, a man who can successfully and scientifically carry ten or more pounds of whooping', wailing humanity, back and forth across the room in a religious effort to palliate a frenzied attack of colic, who can safely administer a soothing dose of peppermint or paregoric and patiently pace the floor while the wife purrs away a few hours in total oblivion. Fourth. The ideal husband provides for his wife's recreation, takes a pride in dolling her up even at a sacrifice to HERALD his own personal appearance. Too many men are prone to neglect the appearance of the wife. He should remember that he is but the reflection of her mental and moral prowess and therefore should meekly and humbly accord her this distinction. The man who harps about the inequality of his wife in privileges, who contends that 'two codes of morals are nec-I essary, is right in his theory', I though he does not know why. Two codes of morals are necessary for if the wife should try to conform to the man's code this old world would be an unfit place in (which to live. Her moral j fibre and her natural incli nation to protect her social standing makes her immune to the temptations of the poor weak man. Fifth. The ideal husband appreciates and respects his mother-in-law. The sclf-cen- 'tered unappreciativeson-in-! law is best represented by the presentation of the following ! anecdote: The undertaker in an adjoining town wired ason-in-!law that his mother-in-law (was deceased, and inquired as :to the disposition of her body. Should he cremate, embalm, or bury? Immedi-Jately the reply was received j "Embalm, cremate, and bury, take no chances." This was ;from a son-in-law whose attainments were nil. The ideal man then is the man who loves and obeys his wife who seeks to scatter an occasional rose along the 'pathway of her prosaic life 'and who loves her mother as he loves his own. Note: Take what you wish and leave the rest. Doctor: "Who was Homer?" Van Eliot: "The guy Babe Ruth made famous." LAW ENFORCEMENT TOPIC AT NATIONAL STUDENTS CONVENTION Recently a conference of College and University students along with faculty members and Presidents representing over 13U schools was held in Washington D. C. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss law enforcement with special reference to the prohibition law. This conference was thot to be a wise step in that it would plant the seed of obedience to law in the minds of the students and thus carry it into all the educational institutions of the country. A-nother purpose was to find out by reports the attitude of the schools toward prohibition. They showed that this law had resulted in much good; that women could reasonably expect their husbands to come home without a serious dent in their pay checks in cases where this had not been the rule before; that many happier, more contented, and more prosperous homes now existed than before. They showed wherein parents could command more respect from their children which resulted in better training and less lawlessness than before. It was recognized that one of the main objections to the eighteenth amendment was that it made it relatively easy for the rich man to obtain liquor while the poor man is unable to pay the price. But this was recognized as an objection to the enforcement and not to the law. The only feasible correction for this and many other objectionable features I connected with the United I States today, such as the oil scanaai, was mar 01 euucai-ing the public to higher standards of honesty and of observance of law. We can have a peaceful country without the right officials but not without a law abiding people. "In an address at Yale University, at the huge Alumni Luncheon, Chief Justice Taft discussed 'The Need of Observance of the Law.' He brought out the point, quite frankly, that he had opposed the Eighteenth Amendment both for personal and political reasons. But he also brought out the point that, when 'this amendment became a law, he considered it only the part of a patriot and a sportsman to uphold it. Said he, 'I am appealing to a Yale audience because I believe it is inspired by as high motivees as any audience gathered in this country, to give a solemn consideration to the responsibility of every intelligent man, however much he resents the taking away of that which he may regard as necessary to his comfort or to his sense of hospitality. I am appealing to such a man to change his attitude toward the enforcement of that law because he cannot afford to have his opposition to prohibition greatly impair the influence of the Constitution and the laws of the country, or wreck the fu- jture of the society whose ba-jsis must rest upon them.' Significant as his words were, still more significant was the way in which his words were received. The tremendous and sustained applause showed the serious-minded attitude of the present day graduate as decisively as anything that I know. "The graduate of today is facing the issue of responsible citizenship sanely and intelligently, and is rapidly coming to feel a value in observing the law, however distasteful the law may be. The g'raduate of tomorrow will, I am convinced, do more than follow in the footsteps of the graduate of today. The growing enthusiasm will, I am convinced, inspire the gradu ate of tomorrow with a sane, thoughtful, deep respect for the Federal Constitution." In her address to the students Assistant v Attorney General Willebrandt said in part: "Unless colleges teach how to live as well as think, they have failed of their high purpose. The most alarming phase of modern education is that it has sacrificed spirituality in many of the larger non-sectarian universities to speed the scientific knowledge. Colleges should be centers of spiritual growth. Our lives are after all but channels to express a g'reat beneficent force struggling up from the dark mould of barbarism and antiquity into the blossom of spirituality, civic generosity and simple goodness in private life. "The charge is Hung at col lege men and women of to day that they are flippant, irreligious, superficial and lawless. Unfortunately many are. But we must not forget that the flippant group in each college makes a louder noise and receives more not ice than the steady reliable majority that forms the bulk of the young people and a-mong whom are the hope and the potential leaders of tomorrow."Unless during college years two habits of life are made, fruition of after years is stunted and leadership lost. The two habits of which I speak are a love of work and spiritual development. "Love of work can only come by necessity the inward compulsion of having to make good because of hope of parents or financial necessity. It can be developed only by learning to put off a present pleasure for a future good. "By a spiritual replenishment, I mean simply developing the old fashioned or at least some kind of religious life that is based upon conscience, and a responsibility to God and a sense of responsibility arising from the belief that He wants to speak to the world through us. That causes a daily spiritual development of our lives. Usually in college it comes thru the churches or emulation of, or inspiration from the life of some holy man or woman. The name of the church or the means of obtaining that side of education is not essential, but that every student should have during his high school and college days, a definite purpose to use his full spiritual powers is the most essential thing in all education. -"If during' college years we can catch the vision and the feeling too that God is struggling to work through us, then our lives become opened out, our 'spiritual intake' so to speak enlarges and the great stock of energy and goodness seeking' ever to express itself in a selfish world, finds a channel through us. Thus is character built up; new energies are released; powers unfold; new faith in government and consecration to the responsibilities of citizenship result. Without such definite spiritual experience in the early years of life character becomes hardened, contracted and materialistic. "The colleg'e life therefore that teaches spiritual vision and a love of work is doing more to combat the forces of lawlessness and disorder than any other one agency. Law enforcement is not half so important as obedience to law, and obedience, respect and responsibility to govrn-ment arise from education and habits of thought and not from 'verbotens.' "The hope of tomorrow is from the products of our schools today. So long as that output is men and women whose lives have been inspired by simple faith and energized by love of labor, ills of government cannot long survive, they will be cured by the healing effect of characterful citizens who move into such localities. "The man and woman e-quipped with spiritual vision and love of work will transform any locality in which the3f move. Their lives become broadcasting agencies for decent . government, responsibility in public office and respect and support of law and order." MISS FOLKMAN AND OTHERS VISIT THE JACOBS ESTATE Recently, a party of college students headed by Miss Ruth. Folkman paid a visit to the Jacobs Estate at River- dale Heights. The party left I school at two o'clock in the afternoon and returned at five, minus Miss Folkman. What went on between these hours is unreported although the Jacobs car was seen headed for Fannington by the natives. Rumor has it that Mrs. Folkman is planning a visit to Weber College in search of corroborative evidence.Ruth F. "Does Rigby ever pray?" lleber J. "Why yes, just last night at the supper table he said, 'Oh Lord, beans again.'" Health, education and a chance that's all you need. You can do the rest. JOSEPH RIRIE SPEAKS ON SERVICE College students hear much of "Service". The talk of Mr. Joseph Ririe to the students April lljlh, undoubtedly impressed many with the necessity of purposeful service. The following are a few valuable extracts from his speech: "The influence that is radiated from the students of Weber cannot be measured in dollars and cents. That influence has been the influence for service and for the higher and inspiring influences of life. The men and women that graduated from this institution years ago are the leaders of today." "What are you going to do in life? It is siiid that the boy or girl who doesn't dream and build castles in the air will never build on the ground. It is well to build our castles in the air within reach. There is a world of opportunities today for boys and girls. 'Learn more and earn more.' " "Choose the vocation that you find joy in and yet can be a help to your neighbor." "There are too many unscrupulous men who have reached positions of esteem through money and are wealthy today. This is not to be desired for as the Apostle Paul said, 'The love of money is the root of all evil.' " "God meant that all should have a chance to live here, and to work out his own destiny. So it is necessary to pick out a vocation that will bring some remuneration. Do not choose something that you do not like. You must choose something that you are adapted for." "The higher we reach and the more we learn, The more we see there is to learn." "The' fundamental thing is service." "Do good to your fellow-men and you will find happiness in the world." "Seek the vocation that gives you joy and pleasure. Don't seek anything that will bring shame on you or your fathers or mothers, and you will find that this old world is a good old world after all." THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA ENTERTAIN An hour of music that was thoroughly enjoyed by the college students was furnished by the Ogden High School Orchestra, with soloists, at the Student Body Program Friday April 11th. Professor Lester Hinchcliff, instructor of music at the High School had charge of the Program. The Prog'ram: A French Dance, "Apple Blossoms" by the Orchestra. Solo, "Absent" by Franklin Richards, accompanied by the Orchestra. "Wine, Women and Song, by the Orchestra. Bass Solo, "The Skipper", Wilford Pickett. First movement from Mozart's "Concerto" by Wade Stevens, pianist, accomained by Orchestra. Male Quartette, "My Moustache". Clifton Rhead, Kenneth Rhead, Don Wakefield, and Alva Blackburn. "Zallah", Orchestra. The Ogden High School has an excellent musical organization and every number was rendered in avery creditable manner. SLANG Slang is inelegant and unauthorized popular language. It corresponds in language to the jazz in music and to sport fads in dress. It is inelegant because elegance in anything requires care and precision, and a slang word or phrase! can be indiscriminately used to express innumerable conflicting' emotions. It is unauthorized because it is used without the approval of those who represent our best in literature. It is popular because it appeals to the com mon mind, to the person of mediocre intellect. 1 hose ot sluggish mental habits use it to express their vague, formless ideas rather than exert the effort necessary to discern their exact status and express them in suitable terms. Slang terms are rarely adopted into the language, but when they are, it is because they have come to have a definite meaning and have therefore really passed out of the field of slang. Buy From Our Advertizers DR. TERRY'S CAREER AT WEBER It is with feeling of sincere regret that we, who have been pupils of Dr. Win. 7.. Terry realize that this is his last year at Weber College. Through his long association with this institution an almost filial attachment has sprung up between him and the young men and women who have met with him day by day to receive instruction in the sciences which came under his jurisdiction. During the many years he has been connected with Weber, he has had charge of the registration of students and we have always found in him a competent friend and advisor when selecting our courses of study at the begin-ing of each school year. It is with pleasure that the Weber Herald gives to its many readers a short sketch of his life since his connect-1 ion with institution. I Dr. Terry first came to Weber at the opening of the school in 1895 as instructor in mathematics and history. Prof. L. F. Moench, then President of the institution found in him a valuable addition to the faculty. In 189G Dr. Terry resigned his position to fill a mission to Germany. Upon returning in 1900 he resumed his former position, as instructor of mathematics and history. He continued at Weber until the spring of 1907, when he accepted the Principalship of the Summit Stake Academy at Coalville, Utah. Dr. Terry returned to Weber in 1913 as instructor in history and German. A year later, however, he became head of the mathematics department.Dr. Terry continued to labor as head of the Mathematics department until the middle of the school year of 1918- 19 when he again resigned, this time answering a call from the War Department. The War Department Officials sent Dr. Terry to Aberdeen, Maryland, where he was employed computing range tables for thte Artillery.He returned to the school at the opening of the year 1919- 20 and has continued his work as head of the Mathematics Department since that time. ' Dr. Terry has witnessed the transition of Weber from a grade school to a High School and fro a High School to a Junior College. During' his career here the idea of the Weber gymnasium was born and realized. He is able to accurately recount any number of important and interesting events in the school history. Just what part Dr. Terry has played in Weber's development no one will ever fully appreciate. His sterling character qualities have won friendships for Weber that will pay dividends through all time. H i s professional abilities have drawn many a student to the institution. His sacrifice for Weber in its early days when wages were paid in "tithing script" were born of a love that has characterized his every act while connected with the school. We regret that we must in the future be deprived of his associations and can only wish him the greatest measure of success in his new undertakings.HONOR STUDENTS RECEIVE AWARDS (Continued from Page 1) their wives, and honor students of the school were present. The food served by Mrs. Tanner and the girls of the Domestic Science Department was excellent, and prompted the guests to unanimously tender them a vote of appreciation. The room was beautifully decorated with purple and and white Hags and purple and wihte lilacs graced the tables. Song's, yells, toasts and speeches enlivened the occasion, making" it one long to be remembered. T h e short, appropriate taJks of the retiring faculty members gave a touch of feeling not usually felt at such functions. The b.anquet was followed by the last student body dance of the year at which all had a most delightful time. WEBER STUDENTS DISPLAY ORATORICAL ABILITY In the devotional exercises of April 29th. the annual J. S. Lewis contest was held. For several years past Mr. Lewis has given a gold medal in the form of a watch fob, for the best extemperanious speech on some local topic. Eight students entered the contest, Clarence Brown winning first place and Leland Monson second. Each speaker was given one hour in which to prepare his subject and speeches were limited to four minutes. The presentation of the medal was made by the Student Body President. Mr. Lewis being unable to attend because of business obligations. Other students entering the contest were: William Terry, Orval Winkler, Frank Barton, Van Tanner, Van 1-21 iot Hcnninger and Rulon Beus. The subjects were not of such a character that the students could obtain any information concerning them, but required original and quick thinking. All the speeches were of real College caliber and the contestants arc to be com-meded on their wonderful a-bility to express themselves "jfore an audience. SOPHOMORES GO A HIKING Monday night at 7 o'clock the Sophomore class met in a body on the beautiful lawns of the Weber College Campus and strolled forth to the hills to indulge in the old and famous sport of toasting "hot Dawgs," marshmallows and incidentally, the face of the person possessing the appetite.The Sophs true to form turned out in abundance. Almost every member of the class was present. A good time was enjoyed until the grub gave out, then it was found necessary by a few with unsatisfied hungers to resort to that famous pastime cabled "singing". On the way back to the city several members had quite a time finding their Fords among' the tall weeds that cover the hills. When the lost had been found and the Sophs packed into the ve hides of transportation, like sardines, they came gaily back and were carried to their "several places of a bode." We thank those who, to add to the variety, so kindly rcleived us of part of our load of available nourishment before we left. The moon also was enjoyed by all, as long as it lasted, which wasn't long. A REAL MAN "A man, what is he? A body sound and trained; resolution to accept personal responsibility; character and aspiration to make the most of life; judgment temperate and firm; ability to spend to good purpose; a career wisely chosen, carefully prepared for; desire and capacity to play a mans pirt in home, society, and government; intimacy with friends of aspiration and attainment; adjustment thru practical experience to life and living; a balanced personality."

This will probably take place soon after Pres. Tracy returns from Ch icago. "We had hoped to be able to tell you something definite tonight regarding an enlarged campus. This much we can say, however, you will have a splendid campus when school opens next fall." Mrs. Bertha Eccles Wright spoke on "Ogden as a Dramatic Center." She emphasized the fact that in the Bonk of Mormon and in the history, and traditions of the Mormn people there was ample material out of which we could build a distinctive art of the very highest type. "We also have the necessary talent. It is understood among' critics that from a generation that has had to endure hardships and provocations there always comes a wealth of artistic talent. "The greater art centers had their small beginnings. Why shouldn't we make a start and eventually make this a center to which all the world will look." Pres. Taylor, in behalf of the Alumni Asociation, presented Sister Lydia Tanner with a cameo broach as a token of respect, love and appreciation for her untiring, cheerful efforts that have made so many of the functions a success. Miss Gladys Blaylock as a representative of Miss Noble's Theology class presented the association with a check for $100.00 to be added to the "College Building Fund." The following Alumni officers for the coming year were elected. President. John O Blaylock. First Vice President. Peter Kasius. Second Vice President. Gladys Ensign Harbertson. Secretary and Treasurer. Mary J. Wilson. Three cheers were given the retiring officers for their splendid success of the past season. The Pink Elephants and members of the Freshman class kept the spirit of fun and frivolity bubbling during the evening' and their songs? and yells furnished much a-musemcnt for the crowd. Everyone voted that the banquet was the best ever and all pledged themselves to boost for Weber and make it the best institution in the West.
