The play, written by J. Hartley Manners, was filled to the brim with wit and humor and yet contained just enough touches of sadness to fac-inate. Mrs. McKey head of our dramatic department, under whose direv-tlon it was presented, certainly merits our appreciation and pride for the wonderful work she secured from the members of the cast. It was certainly enjoyed by the friends and patrons of Wober and was a success financially as well as artistically Marguerite Rogers, as "Peg" was ) adorable, quite charming with her Irish brogue and her animation.

WEBER-HIGH-GIRLS TO GIVE LEAP YEAR BALL FOUNDERS' DAY On January 7. 1922, Founders' Day at Weber, the Weber and Ogden Hirrh Girls' associations will give their firs: annual leap year ball at the Berthana. This ball is the first or its kind and the girls hope to make it a big success. The girls of High school have already made ninny "dates" for this ball and are still keeping it up, showing the fellows that the girls are real sports. So come on all you Weber -iiis: Show the fellows that we are better sports than they are. will show the High school girls and Weber Tvllows that at last one time during the year we will show thvm one grand, glorious time: The girls' associations of both schools are uniting together for the purpose f forming a more friendly relation between the two schools.

Peg has come to England from America at the request of an uncle who had repented of the treatment' accorded Peg's mother before her death, and he wished to make amends. However, before Peg arrived her uncle dies. He provides for her In his will and suggests that Mrs. Chichester care for and train her. For this service she is to be paid one hundred pounds each year. This money is welcome because of the financial failure of the family. Peg, however, is not, and they do not fail to impress her with the fact all the time. She is nagged at continually by her aunt nnd told that Ethel should be her model. Peg is resentful because of this treat ment and determined not to be trained. She accredits her conduct to a little devil that is in her or to the "original sin." Ethel maintains a very RED CROSS DRIVE FOR ELIMINATION OF TUBERCULOSIS An extensive drive was launched ! some time ago for the stamping out of tuberculosis. Jt was actually taken up in the Latter Day Saint churches : throughout the wards in the thre-1 'stakes centered in ogden. Also a mix-j ed quartet, three of which are former students of Weber, gave several mini- bers in the Orpheum theatre and clsc-j where. During the singing the Boy ; Scouts of Ogden distributed pamphlets ;on which were written songs anil lied j Cross stories. This distribution as-i sisted much in the collecting of contributions for the elimination of this ; dread disease. It can be said that the people of Og-; den responded liberally to the drive and it is to be hoped that our "bit" will assist materially in ridding this nation of its most terrible plague.

JUDGED TWO T6 ONE Orators Chosen Only After Very Close Tryouts; Miss Gladys Green Wins. Mr. Alton Richards "was the proud winner last Thursday of the book, that we do not appreciate our oppor-given for the best oration on the sub- I tunities at home. He said that in a ject of "What Appeals to Me Most;smau couege the students have the in Our Gospel and Why." Speaking j personal attentions of the instructors, on the Word of Wisdom as his choice wmle at a ial.gc ne, they only get a he won out over his only opponent, distant view of these men. In other Miss Gladys Green, by a two to oncwonjSi irl a iarge institution the mem- decision Mr. Richards, speaking first, said that our church found, long before science did, that alcohol and tobacco are injurious to the human body. He said that "through all history, liquor and immorality have gone hand in hand," and then cited the cases of Babylon and Rgme. He stated that the people of the churcn especially should observe the Word of Wisdom because it is the "stepping stone to most of the great virtues of life." Miss Green spoke on "Why I Believe the Great Prophecy Will be Fulfilled." In her speech she considered four points, namely: 1. Christ's first coming wa.3 a fulfillment of prophecy. 2. Christ's mission will not be complete until He visits this eartn again.. 3. Many other prophecies made by Christ have been fulfilled. 4. Latter day prophecies have also been fulfilled. Miss Green drew her conclusions by saying that we must make good use of our time here for we know not when the great prophecy concerning the coming of Jesus will be fulfilled. These two speakers were chosen to participate in the final after a long and heated contest in the tryouts. The entire number of college students taking theology entered the tryouts. Judges for the contest were Supt. W. Karl Hopkins, Thomas O. Stokes and Bertha Wheelwright, Mr. Richards' speech follows: WHAT APPEALS TO ME MOST IN OIR GOSPEL A'I WHY THE WORD OF WISDOM The principle that appeals to me most in our religion is the Word of Wisdom. It interests me because it shows the intrinsic worth of our gospel. If a prophet or leader of our church can give to us a command ment concerning certain human habits long before the nation as a whole rec ognizes the danger of their indul gence, and before even science itself can discover the impending conse-i quences, surely our religion must be of God and surely it must be worth living. - Mormonism, because of a revelation given to Joseph Smith almost one hundred years ago, gives to man ai scientific principle, which, if observed, makes for health, keen intellect, and moral and spiritual uplift. Failure to obey this law means race degener-I acy. At the time this revelation was given science knew very little, if anything, h ! of the harmful effects that result from' i the use of hot drinks, strong drinks! ; and tobacco. In fact, it was thought: ! that the use of these things was bene- fieial to the health of man. Slrungi i drinks, for example, were recommend i , ,. ....... i.. .' '' land to quicken one's 'intellect.

Barker, formerly a president of the college, was a visitor. The occasion was the last of the annual extemporaneous speaking contests, bearing his name. After the speeches were given he addressed tho students for a few bers are only individuals of a large mass. He said that the best colleges today were the small ones and that the junior colleges had come to stay. He told Weber to by all means send a representative to enter every college contest in order to get a name, and a reputation even if she did not win out for a number of years. He told the studejits that they did not have enough self confidence or conceit and that if they would only try they could equal the best speaker of the occasion. Mr. Barker suggested that a prize of. $10 be offered to the winner from each class and a 125 one be offered for the winner of the finals. He said that he would be responsible for getting the men to pay the prizes. uu Gives Good Talk to School on Peace and Disarm ament Prospects Superintendent E. S. Hinckley gave a very interesting and inspiring talk' to the students December 21. His theme. Peace, Love and Service, was truly in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. He emphasized the factthat disarmament will not bring peace, but that it will come only into the world through the acceptance of Christ. Wars are fought because people do not fully comprehend Christianity. Napoleon recognized the wonderful , superiority of Christ, the one individual ,who commenced His work on the proper basis, inasmuch as He began His work by teaching the common people who form the bulwark of the nations. The great historian. Wells, says that as long as people remain selfish and do not accept the" teachings of Christ, there will be hate, envy and distress in the world. The lack of food in l he w orld todav is due to t lie selfishness of the individual on, we sha 11, a As long as this goes St. Mathew says:: I ". . . hear of wars nnd rumors ; of wars; . . .

I To emphasize love and service- to i 11 out the thought of who one : neighbor is.

Superintendent of Church Instruction Visits Students EDUCATION THEME People Helped to Do, to Be and to Appreciate Life by Education Weber was honored on December 8 by having Adam S. Bennion, superin tendent of the church school system. as a visitor. An especially pleasing feature of his visit was his address in devotional. As it was National Education Week. Mr. Bennion chose as his subject, "What An Education Mav Do for Us." Education, he said. does two great things. In the first place it increases one's power to do and to be. Helen Keller's life is a good illustration of this. In spite of the fact that she has been deaf, dumb and blind practically all of her life, she is perhaps one of the world's best known and educated women. Other examples he gave were those of "Spot" Ure. a member of the University of Utah football team, and Carl Hart, a member of the Aggie football squad, who are two of the best players In the slate. These men, he said, were not sensational players from the first but only by persistent effort have they become educated in football. The great purpose of the schools, he said, was to hold up the things we can do. It is up to us to take advantage of the opportunities presented. An education, he said, also teaches one how to appreciate life. It teaches one to know what is good and what is bad ; to set a value on life; and teaches us to appreciate that which is really worth while. - Other numbers on the program were a selecuon by the Glee clubs, "Consider the Lilies," and two violin solos by Charles Guernsey, accompanied by Francis Cragun. In our opinion the church schools are quite fortunate in having as their superintendent a man with such a spirit of comradeship and interest as I has Mr. Bennion. . If there is any thing that we as youths deplore it is "a man with an unsportsmanlike, sanctimonious attitude. Superintendent Bennion is without doubt the autipode of this type. When he is to speak it is enough to say that we waste no time in the halls. -oo- Boys and Girls Clubs Have Meetings in Which Spirit Is Ideal Monday, December 19. the boys' and j girls' association of Uie school en joyed separately spiritual feasts the Mikes of which are seldom equaled in lour school experiences.
