Classes in beginning German, French and Latin and advanced French are being conducted daily. At the beginning ""-of the winter quarter it is proba-.ble that other additions will be made to the list of classes to be had in languages. The feature class of the department is that in beginner German. This class is almost entirely composed of members of the football team. Miss Ridges who conducts the class says they are doing w&ndeitul thincs with the German lan guage. The noteworthy success of the team is largely due lO Uie laCL UUIU Luej icai nv-v-i their signals in German, in this way being able to confuse the other teams. The French: classes are making fine progress in their grammar work. The advanced class is studying French classics and modern French dram& and literature. .The entire class conversation-, is carried on in French;-' giving' thestu-dents-'exceltent practice in the practical use of the language. Miss Ridges -is .able' to add much interest and' color to the class work; having spent the past year in, France. The Latin classes, under the direction of Dr. Lind, are diligently engaged in mastering the intricacies of this classic study.- Latin has never been a very popular study with Weber students,' but since its introduction to them as a college subject, it is rapidly gaming in favor. . Students . and teachers re- nort that they are well satis . . . i 'is being made, and are confident that'Hhe language department is going to grow as fast as the college does, which i.c nrniiliiivmir a great deal.

A survey of his efforts to gain an education and then bring Weber to first.place in athletics, reveals .that no matter how long or hard the effort, the result . usually repays the struggle. When Merlin Stevenson was a treshman at Granite High school he" walked six miles to school and six miles back every day because he could not afford carfare. He worked in all his spare time to earn money to continue his schooling. During the rest of his time he .managed to win letters in football, track, basketball, tennis and public speaking, making enough honors to receive a gold medal inscribed with a list of all honors, scholastic and athletic. At the end of three years he was gradu ated with a scholarship for earning the highest average of his class. After his high school was ended it was necessary for Mr. Stevenson to go to Ari zona tor a year aad work to earn money to continue his training: At the end of the year he returned to. Utah and entered the university. Dur ing hks four years at the U. he made an enviable record in scholarshin as well as athlet ics. In his freshman year he ! made a etter m hasket.hall. and "in the other three years he received awards in football and track. V hen he was on . me pasKetDau team tne urn-1 versify won the state cham pibnship and entered the na tional tournament at Los Angeles. In 1919 the football team tied for the Rocky Mountain" championship. Coach Stevenson played fullback on this team, winning a gold football. He also won letters in track, taking first places in pole vault and high jump. He also took the shot-put and mile-run events. Upon graduation from the U in 1921 he was given a position on the faculty at the U summer school. He signed a contract to teach there. , the following year, but obtained a release to come to Weber as an instructor. When Mr. Stevenson came to Weber, the church schools had been playing football only a year. Most of the fellows had never played football before, and those who had were not very experienced. Malcolm Watson was at" that time coach of basketball at the school, while Mr. Stevenson was an instructor in mathematics, football coach j assistant basketball COHCll.

The next year,- 1922, there were only a few of the last year's men who had returned, but the team finished second in the division. Both years the basketball teams finished first in the division. The track teams came within one point of winning division championship in 1922, but sent men to the B. Y. U. invitational meet who took several places. In the relay carnival Weber entered three. -C seven events, winning all three. Last year Coach Stevenson was at L. D. S., coaching the unior college ana assisting ,vjh the high school.

LEARN TO PLAY 5 T Professor Hinchcliff announces that there are several musical instruments available for students who wish to learn to play but have no access to instruments. These horns are the property of the college. It is the desire of the college to get as many instruments in use as possible. If there are any students who would care to take up the study of a band Instrument, they can -make arrangements with Professor Tlinchcliff concerning lessons and use of the horns. ....

"If you were my husband," said Slim, "I would give you poison." "And if you were my wife," retorted Gene, "I'd take it." and improved a great deal, for there were so few men out that all the experience in the world would not make a good team without long, arduous practice. It has been very pleasing to note the improvement in the team, working against almost insuperable handicaps, and rising to first place in the state. Coach Stevenson deserves a great deal of the credit for these accomplishments. We expect some excellent returns from the track and basketball a recent interview he wished THE WEBER HERALD Box Elder High school lost lo the L. D. S. U. at Brig-ham Friday, November 14, by the very low score of 2 to 0. The only score ot the game was made when V. Call was caught behind his own line after he had received an attempted drop kick by L. D. S. U. This safety was the only score ot the game and the rest of the game the teams played on almost equal footing.the L. D. S. U. had a heavier line than Box Eider, but it did not seem to be of much advantage to them, for Box Elder gained consistently through the line. V. Call was picked as the star of the game by both the Deseret New-s and the Tribune because of his great gaining ability through the strong L. D. S. team. This was the first defeat of the season for B. E. II. S. and was a sting with which to end the season. However, we have reason to be proud of the tact that the game was lost by such a low score and that comments on it by oiii - cials and fans pronounce it the best in the state this year. Box Elder is now all ready to start intensive training for the basketball season. Some material is back from last year and from all indications the coming year is going to be a successful one for us. 0. K. S. MOTES Interest at Ogden High this week has been centered on the annual Education Week pro grams. The parents of stu dents have been entertained by various clubs and associations with demonstrations of school work and the accomplishments of the year. The Junior class is sponsoring a school party to be given at. the Berthana Wednesday evening, the entertainment will be in the nature of a Thanksgiving celebration, I with various features during j the evening to carry out this idea. Clubs have been active this week, the Diatate, Forum and Gamma Kappa having held meetings during the week. Preparations for class basketball are being carried on. A tournament will be held immediately after Thanksgiving to determine-the school championship, and to help in the awarding of positions on the regular squad. Prospects are unusually bright this year for division honors. Musical Hour Is Initiated at Weber (Continued From Page 1) iium of their expression and musical instincts.

DONATES CANDY very loyal student of this institution is behind everv ; move that will make the col- j lege bigger and beter. We, as j college students, know what ;it means for our school to grow. We know the meaning of "boost," "root" and "push." For years we have been striving to bring the townspeople to realize that we need their co-operation. Our efforts, so diligent and long sustained, have at last begun to bear fruit. We have a very earnest supporter in the Orpheum Candy Company. This business house has always been a staunch Weber booster, giving its support at every opportunity. If all the business houses of Ogden would follow the example of this progressive shop, Weber's status as a Junior College would be established over night. At the Alumni play, "Twelfth Night," the Sophomore girls sold candy to help defray expenses. This candv was all donated by the Orpheum Candy Company. This one act alone would be sufficient to warrant the gratitude of the students, and it is only one of many similar kindnesses.The Weber College wishes to thank this company for its loyal aid, and extends to it the sincere appreciation of the school and its hearty support. SCHOOLS SEND STUDENTS TO WEBER The Weber college student body, numbering at the pres ent time about two hundred and fifteen students, draws its pupils trom a large and varied field. Represented in the personnel of the school are twenty high schools, three universities, four junior colleges and one business college. These institutions spread over six states. The following is a list of the schools and then-representations : Weber Collee-e students who returned this year lead the group with . eighty-three students.

The college should be proud that it has a musical depart ment capable ot putting over an undertaking of this magni tude. The opera is going to be one oi .the big events at Weber this year, a musical treat in every aspect. It will be of a very high order, both musically and artistically, being-staged with an eve to perfec tion in rendition rather than elaborateness in production. No doubt it will be the means of spreading Weber's already favorable reputation among musical circles in the city. The Symphony orchestra which Professor Hinchcliff has organized from school and city talent wall accompany the production. The group, which consists of about thirty members, is making rapid progress with the score of the opera. This collection of the musical talent of the school is fostered by the music department of Weber, and gives promise of being the foremost organization of its kind in the city, being as much a credit to the school as the school is to the city. In the future the orchestra will work in conjunction with the glee clubs for their forthcoming productions.
