SOCIAL ONE of the outstanding badges for the royal coat lapel of Weber is her friendly spirit which doesn't take long to manifest itself. Accordingly it cropped out, as is its habit, in the first week of the first quarter. To be exact, it was the first Friday that the student body decided to congregate one and all at Wright's camp in Ogden Canyon where they reveled in a wiener bust and in each other's company; thence to complete the day by dancing in Weber's own Gym. The comradery that makes Weber so gloriously democratic was such a delight to all present, they determined to cling to it tenaciously, to not let it escape. By way of keeping the priceless spirit ever present, the student body resolved to observe all occasions when they could meet to enjoy each other fully. One of these was the daily devotional which has long been one of the most inspirational institutions that ever bound students in a feeling of unity. Here the students met to hear educational programs that served to lift the hearers up out of themselves into an atmosphere of devotion and beauty. Everyone loves devotional. Daily, in a still different section of the building was another activity (may we not call it that?) which served to bring the students more closely together. The library on the third floor, super- vised by Miss Browning, contained each hour countless workers that were struggling with education and its necessary investigations. Perhaps a pen was lent, some paper borrowed, a willingness to remain helpfully silent shown; and throughout the year, each new session of library served to unite the students even more strongly in a fellow feeling. Of course, not to be overlooked were the school dances, perhaps the most pleasant functions of the year. The next in line after the "Get-acquainted" party was the frolic held in the heart of the football season, held partly to celebrate our successes, partly to raise elusive funds for the trip to Honolulu, but mostly just because the students of Weber wanted it. At any rate, it was enjoyed so thoroughly by each individual, and the group as a whole, that the following Friday a twin frolic was conducted in the Eighth Ward Hall. The Honolulu fund piled up beautifully as did Weber spirit. Then the time too swiftly came around to bid farewell to our football team and its boosters; so when the Berthana orchestra played "Aloha Oe" in the Farewell Dance, it was to a crowd happy yet sorrowful. During the absence of the team and other precious portions of the school, the students had need to call upon their rich fund of fellow feeling so that they might relieve their excruciating lonesomeness. The fellow feeling offered re- lief by uniting the remaining students into a dance, pleasure-filled to exceed all expectation. Lonely people having a glorious time?-inconceivable, yes, but that is what Weber students did, and they departed for the Christmas vacation feeling happiness once more. Every farewell must have its return, so the vacationers returned with the New Year to take up studying once more, and to await the return of the voyaging Weberites. These departed friends journeyed back just in time for the basketball season and the dance which followed the first game. True to all precedent those attending were delighted at having come, continuing to |
