It was Weber's most outstanding in history. Traveling throughout the region to New Mexico, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, Weber returned each time victorious. Tragedy ended their year, however, with the death and injury of the five representatives to the national debate meet - Delta Kappa Rho, Tau Kappa Alpha held in Reno, Nevada. Two of the five returned, and Weber lowered her head in mourning. The vivacious personality and genuine person of Mary Clarke will long be remembered. Her plans to run for president of the Associated Women Students were not attained, but her fellowship with the women on campus and her smile were never to be forgotten. Clifford Hughes, a transfer student from University of Utah, had represented Weber for the first time in Reno. A top student in mind as well as in body, Cliff was developing as a unique and worthy individual. Robert Mukai, in all his personal relations, brought to Weber debaters the friendly exchange of ideas and a sense of unity not before felt on the campus. Giving up a law profession to fully support the debating field, Mr. Mukai died doing the thing he felt was most important. Weber State College mourns their passing. Death is a shutting of the eye Death is a shutting of the mouth To us Death is a muteness beyond silence But To those Who do so swiftly part in youth and beauty It is not a shutting of the heart. L.
