Show The Sophomore Parties THE first Sophomore party was held October 9, at the home of Mrs. David Eccles. As this was a general get-acquainted affair, the program was arranged so that every student present intermingled with his fellow classmates. Games, dancing, and refreshments, insured the success of the evening. The second party was held in the cafeteria. Never has "our kitchen" seen such a gay crowd of merry-makers as those who arose from the pile of tiresome books on an early Monday evening of February 1, to join with fellow Sophomores in a few hours of hilarious sport. Every minute brought a new kind of fun. Surprises of versatile creation issued from all parts of the room. The most thrilling event of the evening occurred at the time of the contest to displace the nickles which rested on the nose of each of the eight boys who were stretched out on the table. The sentiment voiced by each of the fifty-five members present testified to the pleasure of the social event. The Freshmen Parties HALLOWE'EN was the time chosen by the Freshmen for their first class party. Orange and black decorations adorned the dance hall at the home of Mrs. David Eccles, adding charm and mystery to the occasion. Black cats and witches which greeted the students failed to frighten them away. During the evening everybody danced: the bashful, the bold, those who knew how, and those who did not. Professor Myers kept the interest at its height by introducing get-acquainted games and dances. One of the interesting features of the evening was a "Lemon Dance." Lemons were passed among the girls, and at the end of the dance, those holding the lemons were required to eat them. A high standard in socials was established by this party, and class spirit and interest was greatly increased. A second party was held February 12, in the cafeteria; this party maintained the standard set by the first. Again everyone danced, this time to music from the Brunswick Panatrope. Various games and con- tests interspersed with the dancing; the ones causing the most interest were a bean race and a pin race. Ice cream and wafers were served later in the evening, in spite of the fact that the Sophomores got away with the cakes at the beginning of the party. The Freshmen have proved by their socials that they are not as dead as Dan Van Kampen accused them of being, nor are they deserving of the title of "The Deadwood Club" as Tom Browning suggested. Girls' Day GIRLS' Day is an annual affair at Weber College. Its purpose is to encourage a more democratic and friendly spirit at the institution. This year May 7th was set apart for the observance of this event. A drawing was held several days previously, at which time, students were paired off. Friday noon, a tug-of-war took place between the Freshmen and Sophomore girls, the Sophomores capturing honors. In the after- noon the girls took their partners to the Egyptian Theatre and in the evening the boys were entertained at a very pleasing and artistic dance given by the girls in the Weber Gymnasium. High School Day TO promote the interest of High School students in Weber College and to obtain their cooperation in her endeavors, a day is set aside each year for the entertainment of seniors from the several ad- joining counties. High School Day was held this year on May 14th. In the morning's devotional exercises sixty students from Morgan presented a program which included several musical numbers, readings, and speeches. In the evening, seniors from Boxelder, Morgan, North Davis, and Ogden High school enjoyed a delightful dancing party given by Weber students in the Gymnasium ball-room. Honor Day HONOR Day was held Friday, May 21. All students who have participated in special school activities received awards or honor- able mention. These included Student Body officers, Acorn and Herald staff members, Literary journal staff members, participants in athletics, college play actors, debators, contestants in the Grant Oratorical contest, Barker Extemporaneous Speaking contest, and Flora Eccles Douglas literary contest, and students receiving scholarship awards. In the evening all honor students were entertained at a special banquet and dance. |
