Show MALCOLM WATSON Sturdy, athletic, and friendly, "Malc" Watson has won the whole-hearted respect and cooperation of his pupils. Always ready to instruct those who desire his aid, he becomes a mighty tool in the moulding of fine physiques and in the development of latent potentialities. Physical Education UNDER the direction of "Malc" Watson, old swimming hole splashing and awkward diving are transformed into quiet, graceful action. In the pure agreeable waters of the gym pool, perfect swimming is taught by a modern, efficient method; no longer must one endanger his life in an effort to learn swimming. Courses in life-saving and exhibition swimming and diving are offered to the more advanced students. Many highly competent life savers have been developed during the years in which this course has been taught. Swimming, one of the more practical courses of a college education, holds an important part in the life of college men and women. SHIMMERING lights playing upon the white columns and gleaming on the broad white walk beckon with friendly welcome. Fantastic shadows fall upon the path, shadows of great silvery white birches and tall pines. Stepping out of the lights into the cloistered shade of the hall, we feel the charm of Weber's evening loveliness. Physical Education INTO the lives of the students has come a vision of beautifully-formed bodies, graceful motions, and deep-rooted health. Training through systematic exercises and interpretive dancing has replaced the fabled fountain of youth. Vigor is woven into the fibre of the body as the students bend, and twist, and pull. Muscles become tightened into form and nerves stimulated into instant response. Through a careful and constant training in this gymnasium work the ideal of physical symmetry and health is realized. Dancing in interpretive mood tends to develop a charm of motion, a poise, and a grace that answers the call of youthful loveliness. BETTY HENDERSHOT As a pal to her students, Mrs. Hendershot has won many staunch converts to the values and pleasures of gymnastic work. Playing ball with her team, dancing with her choruses, and exercising with her classes, she becomes an embodiment of true physical culture. THE newer part of Weber is an inspiration at night. Shining on ancient trees now graced in new-budded leaves, the brilliant lights flood the Weber Gymnasium reflecting on the Doric columns, beaming from the windows of lobby and ballroom, suggesting a spirit of geniality and cheer. |
