Some of the members were unable to attend . but all who were in pttend-rinee g-ave Interesting talks on their experiences at the school. Dr. John G. Lind represented the faculty of " '97," and told of some of the good times of that year. He contrasted the size of the school of " '97" with that of the present. He said that there were no more than one hundred and fifty students in school at one time during1 the entire school year of "'97." lie gnve himself the honor of publishing the first catalogue. Tn those days the instructors came from all walks of life and did not specialize in teach in any one line of the curriculum. Dr. Tjind tnld how ho received !his salary in tithing and how hard it wa-s to use this as a medium of exchange.The graduates were first defended by John Q. Bla lock. H Is remarks were quite interesting. They made the students wonder if "fun" hadn't been in the world along time. He confessed much that he did when he took a girl home for the first t ime and, in fact, almost gave the impression that he had been a "lady's" man." Mr, Francis L. Woods represented the same class as a graduate of the commercial course. He told us of ttye athletic life of the school as it existed in that day. The representative of the faculty of " '9S" was Joseph A. Si Li. Tie epressed his grea" appreciation on bins: able to bo present. He. also, had had experience with tithing script. There were no graduates of thai class present, but four studeius who were attending during the year portrayed more nf the s, hool life. They were Wilford I'.r.'un well, Walter Parry. Joseph H.

The student association was startled one day last week by several reports heard In the vicinity of room twelve. There has been a rumor that the reports were from caps brought to school by a few members of the team. It was explained by one of the boys that the process of popping the caps was placing them on the floor and twisting the hf on them. What is the idea f el inws '.'

OF IMPORTANCE I Never before has the lied Cross had such vital problems to contend with as at the present time. The magnitude of the work of this great relief organization is almost incomprehensible. M.my people n gard the lied Gross as a war unit only and do not talce an interest in it now us they did during the war. This is a view that should not be taken as more help is needed now than ever bei '-re. I here are - more homeless orphans, more famines, more plagues and more suffering today than ever before in the history of tho world. Miss Brad ford, of the American lied Cross, recently gave an inspiring talk to the students, telling incidents of the suffering that is now going on in the world. She stated that if America did not assist the nations in need that it would moan the partial death of the white race. No other country is in condition to help to any great extent and the saving of future civilization depends upon America. Talks are being given every night of the drive in every theatre in town, and some students from Webe: are acting as four-minute men. Speeches and compositions have been made compulsory in public speaking, English and in some theology classes in order to stimulate interest. Tho drive is now on, students. Let's have Weber tho first school in the city to go over the top. -00- MUSICAL, FESTIVAL PROMISED SCHOOL Weber students are a wakening to an appreciation of music that promises ! to bear wonderful fruit. At a recent ! meeting of the board of control a . i. asu,re was presc ted by W. II. Man-' ning to have inter-class competition in ; musical activities as in public speak-; ing. The board passed the measure j and now there will be a musical festival in which classes will present each, i a girls' trio, boys' quartette, mixed i quartette, soloists of various voices, and instruments. Points will be al-' lowed for each event and the class receiving the most, points will be given fan award which will be announced ' later. j A committee was appointed by the : various classes to work with Mr. I Manning in preparing a schedule for j the program. I The following committee is working on the program: W. 1J. Manning, ! Cleoiie Lindsay, college; Aura Bennett, ! seniors; Francis Cragun, juniors, and ; Bonita Scow-croft, sophomores.
