Show The Weber Gymnasium STUDENTS and faculty members of the College take a personal pride in the Weber gymnasium, erected three years ago through the combined efforts of Weber College, the citizens of Ogden and Weber County, and the L. D. S. church. Dr. Frederick C. Van Buren, director of the institution, is aided in his administrative work by Mrs. Frederick C. Van Buren, Mrs. Lucille Owens Clark, Mr. Malcolm Watson, Mr. P. A. Nielson, and Mr. Peter Borup. Less than a year ago the gymnasium officials and the Weber College Alumni Association undertook the construction of a double tennis court, 108 x 110 feet in size. The cement sides are so banked that in winter the site may be flooded for skating. After a period of five years the tennis courts are to become the property of the Alumni Association. Over thirteen hundred persons are included in the winter membership of the gymnasium. Three hours daily are devoted to the physical education of Weber College students. GYMNASIUM LOBBY The Weber Gymnasium Circus THE WEBER Gymnasium Circus, an annual recreative activity held early in May of each year, is a cooperative event between the Gymnasium and the College that motivates the physical talent of both institutions and gives a type of entertainment that is artistic and instructive. Its appearance this year heralded the suggestion that it shall become, in time, one of the most outstanding exhibitions of its type in the intermountain country. Dr. Frederick C. Van Buren with his efficient staff of co-workers has planned and conducted the entire affair through three, years. The program this year included pyramid building which was made a 1928 feature, the circus parade, special animal acts, electrically lighted Indian club drill, tumbling and apparatus stunts, plastique exhibitions, and ballet and folk dancing which terminated in the May-pole dance.
