Show JOSEPH JEPPSON Herald Report THE WEBER HERALD has always been the free lance of the Student Body. In its columns the students of the School saw things by the light of Student Interest, Chronicled the news, and exposed the popular opinion. During the first part of the year, under the able direction of John Emmett, editor and Louise Browning and Barbara Sprague, associates, the Weber Normal College published a paper that reached the mark set by those of former years. After a few editions of this paper, it was suggested by the English Department and passed by the Board, to put the paper in the hands of the English students. This was done and the paper became an organ of the English Department rather than of the entire Student Body. In it some excellent work has been done by the students. Next year the question will be again before the students: Shall we have a student publication which will compare favorably with other college papers as a publication or one published by the High School English classes, which will necessitate it falling into the class with High School Papers? GRANT DAHLSTROM RUTH SCOWCROFT LELAND JOHNSON Journal Report AT LAST we have reached the final lap of a most successful year. Father Time waits with drooping head to inform us that the annual race is over, and that now we must turn over the reins to oilier- perhaps more successful drivers. So we have reached our goal! And as we stand here for the moment in reverie-recollecting, contemplating-we are given to see, by that most wonderful artist, our mind-painting with skilful stroke upon our visions-the days of a passing year-of lasting friendship, successful activities, and pleas- ant moments. We see oratory, debating, dramatics and with them, our Literary Journal. And as we think of the stories, essays, and bits of poetry printed on its pages, we are forced to conclude that not all good writers lived in the good old days. How the English students watched for its issuance! Perhaps in their class criticism of it, an examination was postponed. Or, perhaps, its interesting contents delayed the daily nap of many a weary lad. Not only has our Journal met approval within the walls of Weber, but other schools and literary authorities have also recognized it. We should, indeed, feel proud of those contributions which have made our book successful. We should appreciate the wonderful opportunity of which, by the diligent work of Professor Tracy, we are the recipients. An opportunity which gives to those whose ability lies in that field of art, the possibility of expression. An opportunity which will cause us, as students, to strive for the attainment of an appreciation for finer literature and art, |
