Show The twofold purpose of the Whip Club is to give forty girls a chance to wear a uniform and to raise a little bit of wholesome hell while they're at it. But they're invaluable instigators of student body pep. Leland Monson Albert Mitchell Blair Burton Adviser Adviser President "The pen is mightier than the sword - but the tongue is mightier than either." Upon this premise is founded the organization of Phi Rho Pi, national junior college forensic society. This organization has taken on especial importance this year because of the honor given the Weber chapter by national officers, who designated our school as the site for the 1940 national convention and contest. This was brought about mainly through the efforts of our forensics chief, Mr. Leland H. Monson, who is national vice- president of the society. Mr. Monson organized the Weber chapter in 1934 and he has guided the Alpha chapter through six years of development and achievement. Blair Burton is local president, specializing in debate. Others take part mainly in speech-oratory being the field in which Weber won national recognition and championship.
