Tomorrow is to witness the first real day of sport for this year. There is just one thing we want the faculty and student body to do tomorrow and that is to keep things lively so we can have a "rarin' " good time. The main requisite of a good time is to have something to do, hear or see Tomorrow is going to be one of those real live class days, just bubbling over with school spirit and enthusiasm, with lots of things to participate in. just imagine ihe rnaie members of the faculty versus the lady members in a watermelon eating contest. No less than four melons per head.) Then let your imagination see the freshmen-sophomore watertug-of-war. Here's hoping it is a nice, chilly afternoon. Of course we will all be anxious to see our Senior- Junior football enthusiasts give us a demonstration of their achievement along this new athletic sport, giving us some idea of how they are going to tear up Ogden High Alumni next Saturday. After the afternoon spovts your time is your own until time to call for her. Then for the big dance in the evening, with Thatcher's high class orchestra, refreshments and a gay crowd, a real enjoyable time is insured. So everybody cut loose from the lure of study and help make tomorrow's class day one of the best. R. STANLEY RHEESE, '20. Be a booster,' and while you're boosting don't forget to boost for Weber, and then if you have any time left you may boost for the world but boost for Weber first. WEBER TURNS OUT TO WELCOME PRES. WILSON The building was left desolate, when school was dismissed Tuesday, to welcome the president of the LTnited States to Ogden. It is to be regretted that he did not have a longer stay here, and speak to us, but for the short hour that he was here, everything possible was done to make his stay pleasant. At the request of Mayor Browning the schools of the city were closed' during the afternoon, and special places were assigned each school on the north side of Twenty-fifth street, between Jefferson and Madison. OCDEN, CLASS ELECTIONS ARE HELD NEW CLASS PRESIDENTS ELECTED. One of the most extraordinary events was necessitated when new class officers had to be elected in three of the classes for the coming year. In the Senior class, a new class president had to be elected due to the resignation of Orval- Carstensen, who is athletic manager for the coming year. In the election Clarence Brown won out easily over his opponent. Brown possesses the initiative which is necessary for a successful preside:1!. Hp hps hen an earnest worker in the past and should be able to lead his class on to victory. The other officers who are to support him for the following year are: Miss Luella Nichols, vice president; Jessie Hansen,secretary-treasurer; John. Croft, yell master; William Kasius, debating manager; L. R. Johnson, dramatic manager. In the junior class, Miss Ruth Scowcroft was elected to fill the position of Herald reporter. If you doubt her ability, read the Juniors' report for this issue. The other officers who were elected last spring are: Cora Mortensen, vice president; Carl Ballantyne, secretary-treasurer; Claude Lindsay, athletic manager; Helen Hinckley, debating manager, and Frank Robinson, , yell master. Inasmuch as John Scowcroft is attending school elsewhere this yeai, a new class president was necessitated in the Sophomore class. To fill this position, class '22 chose Lew Fretwell, one of the most promising underclassmen in the school. Few possess an over supply of pep and we are expecting big things from the Sophs this year. The other class officers are: Eddie Christy, vice presi-(Gontinued on Page 3, Col. 3) Tuesday morning in devotional, President Dixon announced the details of the arrangement and that a short asembly including a short yell practice would be held at 2 o'clock, just before leaving. The school marched over in a body and filled the whole block. When the president's part' passed, Weber, true to her old traditions, gave him a rousing welcome. The coming of the president of the LInited States is a great event in the history of Ogden. It is seldom that the people of the intermountain region enjoy a treat like this. UTAH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, president predicts During the past two weeks, Weber has registered one of the largest student bodies in her history, having at present six hundred twenty-eight students. This means that we will break all previous records with an enrollment of eight hundred this year With such a large number of wideawake, enthusiastic workers our possibilities are unlimited. It is up to us to develop them and make them worthy to represent our school, which stands for first and best in social, physical and intellectual development, which are necessary requisites of an ideal school. Football season is here. Just the word sends that same chilly feeling up the middle of your spinal column, that will thrill your whole being when you see a Weber man cut like a knife through the opposing team's line, then stri'glit over to victory for Weber. We expect to put Weber on the map in football this year just as we did in basketball last. There is only one way tojio ; we must work and boost all the time and then when things go a little slow boost and support the school and our various teams all the more conscientiously. Don't think for one minute that the team is not training and working hard. Just come up to Twenty-eighth and Harrison and watch the workout. It will make you feel how little you are doing and how much more you want to do to make a better Weber. The coming of basketball, baseball and track ensures a "whizz" of a year in athletics. Conditions look more favorable than ever concerning our gymnasium. On changing the cite to Twenty-fifth street, progress seems to be lagging but it is planned to put the foundation this fall. We want to look beyond the end of our noses and see the completed structure. M'Ve don't want to have a squash erected, only to wish after that it was different, but we want. to see a real model gymnasium, one that we can and will be proud of. In other words, not a squash that will spring up for us in a few weeks, but an oak that is perfectly developed. Although we hope it will not necessarily take a thousand years to grow it. The outlook for our intellectual contests is very bright. We have more talented, earnest, hard-working students than ever before. With that undivided enthusiastic support that always characterizes Weber we will accept nothing but the best, which means successful victory. Weber's socials have always been of that high moral standing that harmonize her ideals. Making our socials invitational we hope to maintain and better if possible that high standard for which our parties are characterized. Fellow students, we are beginning what ought to be Weber's most successful year. We have one of the best faculties and best boards that Weber has ever had. The faculty and student body are closer united in the ideals and determination for a banner year than ever before. It is up to us to prove that our. aim is high ideals and fair play to all, that we are one with faculty in making a bigger and better Weber. 1919. Weber's Grid T earn Rounding P. S. B. BEGINS WORK FOR YEAR HAVE GIVEN PROGRAMS ALREADY. The Public Service Bureau, under the able direction of Miss Oa Jacobs, has started its work for the scholastic year of 1919-20. This year the work carried on by this organization is mainly to boost the school and our gymnasium. It is thru this activity that Weber is advertised thruout the various counties of Utah. It has been one of the factors that has caused the tremendous growth of Weber during the last few years. It is hoped that a qeneral response will follow and request made cV 3'ou to help in this great movement. A program was given recently in Riverdale under the new officers for this year. Pres. Oa Jacobs conducted the exercises. The program follows: Solo, Owen Ridges; reading, Vera Malan; song, Mr. Hardy; talk, Walter Stevenson; song, Lester Savel; talk, David J. Wilson. LATEST FACULTY MEMBERS In the first issue of the Herald we overlooked three new members of the faculty who were not listed in the catalogue. David J. Wilson has been secured to instruct in Commercial Law and College English. He was a former teacher at this institution, having come here with James L. Barker and G. Oscar Russell. While he was here he proved his ability as an instructor and was exceptionally popular with the students. Mr. Wilson will un-(Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) ALUMNI TO PRESENT COMEDY DRAMA AT ORPHEUM The entire cast has not been selected as yet but the members who are now rehearsing have had previous experience and are all recog nized as players of exceptional ability.They have been working continuously during the last few weeks to make this show a success. Uhey are giving their time to make Weber's dream of a gym come true. All they need now is a full house to complete their plans. Weber students, advertise this show and attend it yourself, so that efforts for us will not be a failure. Be there a week from next Wednesday, October 1', at 8 p. m. No. 2 into Shape COMPETENT MEN APPEAR ON FIELD STRONG AGGREGATION EXPECTED. When about forty men turn out the first night footba! practice begins we'll say that prospects ar brilliant. And by men we mean the fellows in the school who have a desire to play the game and also possess the ability. Array.-.d in new suits the men in which Weber places her football hopes for the first year that she has participated m the gridiron sport,' came into view like a bunch of green freshmen. But, with all due respect t-n tlip m ilkliiiBrs. we . must sav that the green disappeared in about one night of practice. I The first night the fellows were taught the gentle art of falling on the ball. After a few spectacular spills the style that they displayed made them appear as professionals. Due to the able coaching of Male Watson, the team is rounding into excellent shape. He is being assisted by Ed Peterson, a former grid star of the U. of U. These two men have been instructing the team con stantly during the last week and when Weber starts playing other teams the effect of their superior coaching will be apparent. The men have been divided into three squads, all on an equal basis, so it is impossible to state here who will make the main team. It is nown, however, that the "eleven" will be composed of competitive players. The necessity of the support of the student body in this new spoit cannot be over emphasized. The loyal support which Weber has given her representatives in past years must be repeated this year in order to have our team represent us to the best of their ability. Under the able direction of Mrs. Lila Eccles Brimhall, the alumni association of Weber intend to produce a comedy drama at the Or-pheum theater on October 15. The name of the play is "The Big Idea." The show is filled from the start to the finish with rare humor. It is recognized as one of the best comedy dramas ever produced. When the curtain rises at 8 p. m. on October 15, it is hoped that the entire Weber student body will be present to witness the production. The money derived from the show will be turned over to the Weber gymnasium fund, so by supporting it we take one more step toward making our gym a reality. |
