Weber, you did your self proud in your first activity of the year, "The Collegiate Hop." Your interest in school life was shown very clearly that night. You showed Ogden the cleanest and finest dance entertainment it has seen in many a day. The members of the student body are to be very highly praised. Your spirit is strong and firm. If we are to guagc the success of the year as a whole by that dance and we most assuredly can, we are sure to experience a year never to be excelled.We welcome all of the student body including faculty members to be present at all school functions. It looks mighty fine to see all of the faculty at our social functions. Let us assure you that we appreciate your cooperation. Your attendance adds a certain something, that we like very much. Many students have voiced this same opinion. Never miss a single function. You are more than welcome. To the chairman, Dob Kimball Dee Bramwell, Chuck Peterson and the rest of the loyal workers, let us say, thank you, and mean it. You fellows are largely responsible for the success of that dance. Arrangements are being made for much work in public speaking and debating. No activity offers more development and no such thrills are obtainable anywhere. as in this particular field. All interested get your voice in shape, because it won't be long now. Football! ! Are we proud of those fellows. Weber has never had as fine a looking group or a harder working group. Watch your football schedule. There are some great games scheduled. Our team is known internationally, and it shall be even more famous. Rowland Corry. W Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Students, sons and daughters of old Weber, let us be visionary, let us picture the Weber of the future, let us sec her in a finer light in her future greater greatness. It lies within the power of each and every one of us to do our bit toward the ultimate realization of Weber as one of the greatest institutions of learning in this state and nation. To the end that in some year, not too far distant, we shall have a campus many times the size of the present one and with a student body association numbered in the thousands instead of only hundreds. An initial step to be taken is the adopting of the spirit of the missionary.' Let us go out from these halls every day with a good word on our lips for Weber, go out with the proper and enthusiastic attitude toward our school and toward our fellow men. Everyone of us has some friend who is not now one of us, but who should be participating in the fine opportunities our school has to offer. Why not call on these friends and discuss their problems and their opportunities with them, weighing their obstacles and considering plans by which they can see their way clear to get back into school. Weber's administration is justly famous for its unitjue ability to assist the student in arranging his affairs to the end that he may carry on with his education. A college such as Weber is a distinct asset to the community in which it is located, and the people of Ogden, along with her leading business men, are appreciating this factor more and more as time goes 'on. Without Ogden and its support we could have no college ,while at the same time Weber is fast becoming a great advantage to this community. A city the size of Ogden should have its own college and be mighty proud of it. As stated above the business men and people of Ogden are more solidly back of Weber this year than ever before in the history of the school. The business houses have cheerfully contributed to the end that we might have the splendid band we now enjoy, and that they might be uniformed properly. In our daily goings an comings let us remember their sacrifices in our behalf and let us in turn support them with our undivided patronage. Our opening dance of the year "The Collegiate Hop" was supported by Ogden's merchants through their purchase of tickets from our young men who called on them. We must guard against overdoing their generosity in such instances, but we should also remember that they played their part in making our initial activity a complete and satisfying success. We should make it a point as a student association to become better acquainted with the citizens of this community and to know more about its business enterprizes and the people who control them In the conduct of our daily lives we should always keep in mind our duties to our school and community and thereby carry on more ideally in the future than has perhaps- been our want in the past. Students of Weber remember that the future of your school and of your emmunity lies, in a great degree, in your hands. Remember that everyone is well aware of the high ideals espoused by Weber. Remember that you and you alone can perpetuate those ideals in the minds of the people. Kieth Rowlands W . Take advantage of your opportunity to study in the school library. It's quite, light, and full of good reference material. Eva Browning and her capable staff of librarians are ever at your I service. 750 Students Enroll At Weber (Continued from Page 1.) the beauty culture course. I presume that we are the first college in the United States to inaugerate such a course. Mrs. Strattin, who is here this morning, will be the instructor in that course. We will probably get this course under way within two weeks. I desire to pass word out to those who would be interested in such a course that the tuition is based on the same bases as the regular courses, consequently, being far cheaper than the regular price that is paid. I want to urge everyone to be a missionary indeed to help young men and women attend college here or elsewhere. This is a year when many who are young desire to go to school hut financial conditions are such that they feel that it is impossible for them to do so. Urge them to come in and at least talk it over. I commend and congratulate many of you for the struggle you put forth to come to this college. We do not all know just the price some are paying. ! tell you when men and women come to college without a dime in their pocket they are to be congratulated, and their future is assured. No man can be down, no man will fail who has the courage to do that sort of thing in these days. And the thought strikes my mind now as it has many times lately that the world today is in the condition that it is in because of the inability of the leadershp of the world to solve the problems of the world, and if we, don't get our young men and women to go to college I don't know what will I do know what will become of the civilization... It will go down, and you young men and women look forward and press on and you will succeed and you will solve the problems of the day. I am glad that Dr. Lind is well enough to be with us this morning. You know he met with an accident last fall, hut he has been courageous and is with us again. Brother Croft has been away a year and has now returned and we are pleased to welcome him. This program is nearly all impromptu, but the Student Body President has been tipped off so he knew he would have to say something. The rest of the program will he made up as we go along. We will hear from our Student Body President. ROWLAND CORRY: Faculty members, members of the college alumni, and present students of Weber. We arc very happy indeed to welcome you all here today. We are glad that you have been able to put forth the effort to he here. Before 1 go any further. I would like to introduce to you the other student body officers. Ila Smith First Vice-President, Mr. Spencer Van Dyke, Second Vice-President, and Lewis Brown Secretary. There is also Dee Bramwell, the cheer master. Now that we know the family we can proceed. As I understand it, the duty of the student body president is to keep the students pepped up and keep those activities sponsored. Now, in education as well as in any act ivity a great deal of fight is needed. There may be times when things look gloomy, things may look black, hut I encourage you and implore you to drive on and support your activities. There are some activities that will he introduced right at the beginning of this year, mainly this opening dance. As you all have heard, this dance is to be held at the White City with Jerry Bceseley's orchestra. This dance will be sponsored and taken care of in such a way that a clean fine entertainment will be had and all of you will enjoy it. We encourage you to be at that dance this Friday the 16th. Meet your members of the faculty and members of the student body at that dance. We are inviting the alumni, the parents of the alumni, the present student body, and the parents of the faculty. This year,, our activities are going to be many and all of them are going to be successful, I can assure you. There is as big a field in de-hating as there is any field of activity in the school, and I encourage you Freshmen especially to participate in that activity. There are also going to be intercollegiate public speaking contests with different schools throughout the state of Utah and intercollegiate oratorical contests.Then there is our football. You all have heard of our football men, they look like the varsity team of the University of Utah. Their shoulders look to he about ten feet thick and when they stand up they make a fine group. This is going to be a big year in debating and foot ball and a big year in every phase of school activities and that part of the activities will he brought before you from time to time. Never say die. Let's keep up old Weber spirit. 1 thank vou. ILA SMITH: Members of the Faculty and Alumni and fellow students : It certainly does seem great to he hack and see all the familiar faces and so many new faces. To the girls I would like to say that we intend to have increased activities and the field is going to be open for girl's clubs and many other activities. To the Sophomore girls I would like to say for us to get acquainted with the Freshmen girls and help them and be their friends. Don't let them get discouraged but carry-on and if we will all work together we will have a happy and successful year. W Fond Memories Cling To College Inn Ye College Inn has been the center of College life for many succeeding generations of Weber students. The meeting place where weighty matters were discussed, and plan's made. The hub around which the social life of Weber revolvedd. It has been the means by which many of our Alma Mater's most successful .graduates were able to complete their years at Weber. The College Inn is as much a part of our school today, as it has been at any time in our illustrious past. May it always hold such a place in a corner of our school, and mean as much, or more, to each incoming group of students, as those who are gone regard it. |
