THE WEBER HERALD SURPRISE ON PREXY GIVEN BY COLLEGE President Kicks was the honored guest at a. surprise party staged by the members of the college classes at his home Tuesday evening, December G The students met at the college and; marched gaily to the Ricks residence on Twenty-fourth street. There they were met by Mrs. Kicks and conduct- ed to a "secret chamber" to await the arrival of the president. After the greetings wero over the party ad - 4n,in,l n tv. t .-,! ;-. . ,ii,i i r cnnn,. omo. were "gum animals" and "hannoniou:; hunt " The game "gum animals" consists of a number of Intricate nrncesses. The first requirement is sum; the sec ond, the ability to sain the proper consistency by a method of mastication; and the third, an element of artistic ability. After a period of intense concentration the specimens wero exhibited for judgment. Professor Wiitsor, one of the college advisors, was awarded first place and received a music box for his labor. "Harmonious hunt" is perhaps one of the most, interesting and amusing games, known inasmuch as it provides amusement for all concerned. ThelHOXOR school OF FIRST J.OVK party was divided into two groups, !j.X. 5, (t, 7. each group choosing a captain and a J oo call. Mr. Tracy presided over the "Hoe Haws" and Mr. Ricks lead the "Bow Wows." It was the duty of each member of the groups to find the hidden peanuts. When this was accomplished he was to stand there and give hits call until his captain responded At the end of an appointed time the cap- tain having the largest amount of pea- nuts wins.

The general subject was "Student Body Activities at Weber." It met with the approval as it came as a rest from the usual subject, "Kffects of the War." The contest was indeed the best of the year, and eacli contestant should bo commended. The judges 'were David Wilson, Aaron Tracy and Krnost "Wilkinson. The speakers were Van Tanner of the. Sophomores, who spoke on "The Feasibility of a $ Student Body Fee;" Joseph Joppson for the Seniors on "The Henel'it of Student Ae- tlvity"; Llewellyn McKay for the Jun-j iors on the Buhject, "Tile Weber Alumni, an Asset to the Schcool," and Ben E.

The first is the turiuiiK of the in te rent of former members back to the wel fare of the school. Kach member must sense the debt he owes to (be inHtitution which ;ive him the inspir.'iiion of his life. He must not only be keenly Interested In its welfare, but must do no met h inr to foster its nmbitions and to help R realise He aims. He must make It , possible fur future stud-mts of the school to receive what is best in education.How is he be.st koiukt to do this'.' By supporting the present plans of (he Weber Alumni association. Two of tho major nims of the association are to create a eollere spirit In Ofc'den and Weber county and to incorporate for charitable purposes. Cases of the inVal success of snob bodies as this are eiled. One ease is to be found in the riilea i?o university and another in the H. V. V. of I'rovo. STUDENTS INVADE STEEETS OF OGDEN Weber's entire student body marched through the business district of Ogden Tuesday to advertise "Pes (V My Heart." Weber:; hand led the procession while the students, marching four abreast, followed. The line of march was as follows; South from the school to Twenty-fifth street, west to Washington avenue, north toTwenty-third street and back to Twentv- fifth street. During the entire march the ) sttl- ; dents sang 'Teg O' My Heart." Several stunts were "pulled off" by some of the students. Probably the mosl Important was the snake dance demonstrated by (he "chain gang" with Walt Price as leader. We are sure this means of advertising our show proved to the business men that Weber's spirit is still alive and at the same time reminded them to exchange their tickets ai the box office of the Orpheum theater.

Let's get in and have a good representation on this contest. GIRLS CONDUCT PEG" CANDY SA.LE'leHt I)roblemH- such aB- "Germany! The Girls association of the Weber Normal college conducted a very suc- cessful candy sale at the Orpheum theatre on the nights of December 13 every girl responded liberally. The candy given was five hundred sacks. The 'Orpheum Candy company gave the association one hundred sacks of candy and five hundred chocolates. The girls as well as the other mem- heir bit. A collection of $12.50 was made. The entire proceeds, including the boys' donation, amounted to $100. The proceeds will go to help defray student body expenses. oo FALSE PILLARS ARE REMOVED The students were surprised whon they accidentally looked into the auditorium and noticed the absence of two OL ino n" l)S(?uao nuiars wnicn naa inrineriy auornea tne suitfe. we say I "adorned" because they, like the stu- den'ts often are., had been given unearned credit for their support.

Frequent !y the piay-! ers were injured by coming- in con-! tact with the sharp corners. Finally ! the coach got the permission of the ! faculty and had the adornments re moved. The removal of these also adds much to the appearance of tho stage. THREE OF WEBER STUDENTS FALL overbalancing them. There w-as a cVash immediately following and tho three were lying on their backs.

M;tud;'' RICHARDS WlflS mm i frf mm .. ORATORiCSLi (Continued from Pap One) the soldier who was a non-user of alcohol was also the one who made the real soldier. The commander of the P.ritish army in East Africa testified that the first men to fall out of the ranks were not the tiill men, nor the short men, noi the heavy men, nor the light men. but the users of alcohol. They fell out as j if they had been mai ke'd. They could not run and not be w e a r y a n d w a 1 k and not faint. Hut the danger caused by the non-resistance of the sold ier was by no means the only one; nor was ii even the moat serious, The nat ion .bega n to tally than the non-user . During fifty years, eighty-three percent of the students at Harvard hao been smokers and seventeen per cent non-smokers. Vet nearly all of the ! honor students had come from the seventeen per cent. Other colleges jord. At the I", of W. the marks of the non -smokers averaged from five to 'ten per cent higher than those of th-. i smokers, j Scientific experiments showed that j the alcohol contained in only two t glasses of beer weakened the memory and intellect from five to fifty per cent This phase of the question alone would have caused - concern to a mi-tion which had prided herself in hei intellectual superiority, but a still more serious problem faced the country that of her morals. Through all history liquor and immorality have gone hand in hand. Ii has been tbe cause of the downfall of nations. The great city of Babylon was captured while ts inhabitants were drunken on wine. Liquor and immorality caused the downfall of Rome. At the beginning of the World War when the very life of civilization was threatened, the U. S. was brought suddenly to realize that these things which had allowed former civilizations to be swept away by savage hordes, were already strongly fastened on her people. She saw the same leniency toward drunkenness and immorality that had characterized the nations oi old. She saw the sons and daughters of her first citizens in drunken parties and saw them accept as a matter of course, the debauched morals of the once loathed outcast. The homes oi her people were being ruined, the father often a helpless wreck, the children worse than orphans. The need for action was imperative. America could not. fail. American ideals of liberty, justice and equality, could not perish from the earth. Only one thing could save her a new purity of American life purity on which rests every virtue which can save intelligence, strength, courage, faith and the spirit of self secrifice which offers life itself that right may triumph. Just as the physician tries to heal the broken body- by striking at the source of the disease, so our legisla tors, in attempting to heal the ills ot a nation, struck at the root of the evil. In the early pare of the year of 1919 they passed the eighteenth amendment, prohibiting the usB of strong drinks. Ltali, later, went even further. She realized that the cigarette was undermining the morals of the young so decreed that its sale within her boundaries should cease. It is not yet possible to compute the intrinsic worth of these laws in saving our national integrity from the dangers attending moral laxity. But some results we can already see. Money that formerly gushed into the coffers of the saloon is being used for the better and nobler purposes of life. Banks flourish where alcohol was formerly sold. Business houses no longer ask "Does your husband drink?" Already the attendance at colleges has increased and the children of the future, upon whom our nation will depend, are growing up without ever' beholding the drunken brawl of the saloon, or feeling Its effect, in the circle of the home. And if we but assert our rights and demand law enforcement, the youngster of tomorrow will never make acquaintance with the cigarette.
