Show MARY CAMPBELL President LOWELL RIDGES Vice President The third year of the PUBLIC SERVICE BUREAU has been a tremendous success because of the able efforts of its officers. They have put forth a conscientious effort to make the influence of this organization felt over the whole town-and have been successful. The name of this organization typifies its object or motive, which is to render service to the public. The season's work was started by extending to all Bishop's in Weber County a cordial invitation to call on this Bureau for pro- grams. This was taken advantage of by all wards, and on numerous occasions pleasing and instructive programs have been rendered by our students. Programs have also been furnished for the Hospital and Industrial school. At mid-year the registration of the Student Body was greatly increased. This was due to the fact that the advantages offered by Weber were effectively shown to the grade student by the Public Service Bureau officers. They circulated letters explaining in detail why Weber is the only worthy school in Ogden. A copy of the Weber Herald was given to each graduating grade student to show one of the progressive activities of Weber. In organizing this bureau the Student Body made a most progressive move. It is the best advertisement possible for Weber. Instructive, interesting programs are easily obtainable by any assembly, while the students taking part on the programs receive invaluable experience in appearing before the public. The officers for next year are very capable students and the success which has been so evident this year is sure to be the result next year. JOSEPHINE VOLKER Secretary-Treasurer MARY WOOLLEY President CLEONE LINDSAY Vice President Girls Association THE GIRLS ASSOCIATION was organized last year for the purpose of manifesting a "get-together" spirit, as well as to create sundry amusements. The first stunt "pulled off" was a character dance for "Girls Only." Of course there was some underhanded scheming on the boys' part to break up the party, but to put it over on them two armed policemen were hired to hold the doors. To satisfy the curiosity of our gentlemen friends a regular vaudeville was given later, at which some of the boys came in coveralls to watch an older sister parade the stage in his best "Sunday-go-to-meetin' " clothes. Our next signs of life were shown at the "St. Patrick's Jazz," in which everyone carried out the rule of wearing green, except a few upperclassmen, who attended in noisy orange ties. With this exception, everything went off to a "T," from Georgia's dancing to the "beauty parlor." Another feature of the evening was the Sophomore's Shamrock booth, which took the three-dollar prize for attractiveness, while the Freshmen walked off with the financial success. The proceeds were given to the stage fund. At last spring brought the "climax" and gave the girls a chance to flit around the halls while boys held classes. The significant day came April 12th. Days before the event even Charlie and Theron paced feverishly around the halls hunting for a "date." They even made use of their good-looking eyes and "blinked" at a few Fresh- men. However, their expressions were changed when they found they had been "paired off." About 1:30 the girls journeyed to the springs and had a hilarious time. Later, they returned to "top" the day off with a big dance. |
