MR. ALLRED IN A PLAY HE WON'T SOON FORGET. THATCHER ALLRED ENJOYS WILDWOOD BEAUTY. PEDAGOGUE'S PAST "I remember when I was your age" a twinkle comes into the noble pedagogue's eyes and he smiles. Yes, those were the days when the faculty members were college age more or less (see the pictures on these pages). At that time the now-faculty engaged in many varied and diversified occupations. Wrapping cosmetics in a large mail order house where "loyalty to the firm," was of paramount importance . Playing music, tin-pan alley variety, in stuffy theatres where kids took popcorn. Watching Indians in the Uintah Basin where one could dress informally (see picture of modern squaw man, bottom left). Acting in Little Theatre plays where melodrama was at its height. Bathing, or rather, boating on clear streams where plankton is found were only a few of the occupations with which Weber College Faculty members busied themselves. Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and nameless places were baptismal fonts for now-professors. While some were preparing themselves for the teaching technique by jerking sodas, polishing other prof's desks and living in boarding houses where the food was definitely on the inferior side, others were already "village schoolmasters." Still others were only students. In the year 1924 Leland Monson O. M. CLARK AND PAPOOSE. MEMOIRS FROM MR. CLARK'S MISSION TO GERMANY. 30 RAY B. WEST, JR. AT THE TENDER AGE OF 1 1/2. MR. WEST AT ANOTHER TENDER AGE. PROFESSIONS was a contestant in the Barker Extemp contest. His speech was so outstanding he was given not honorable mention but instead, a duplicate prize. It was during the same year that the coeds were saying "Nay, Nay," and had coined the phrase "swaddling clothes" to refer to last year's styles. "A-Hunting we will go," became the theme song of graduates as they started job-hunting. Some of them got jobs; some of them took "substitute" jobs and others became post-grads. What did they study? Well, a variety of things. Mostly they filled groups, had a strong minor in something not too closely connected with the major, graduated, that is, received degrees and set up shop in a "little town" to begin with, as the most respected man in the village. When their reputation became known, they were transferred and later came to Weber College. Except for occasional leaves to continue studies they have remained. It was during the period just mentioned that many took a couple of years off studies and fulfilled LDS missions in Europe. Others traveled through the United States taking with them all sorts of odd experiences. Maybe that explains the twinkle in the eye at times of reminiscence. DR. O. W.
