HONOLULU DECEMBER 9 SUNDAY-Thirty-three expectant Ogdenites board the Southern Pacific for California. The occasion is a momentous one, for the lucky party is bound for far-off Honolulu, and Weber College is about to crash the bars of international football fame. 10 MONDAY-The team is deposited at Berkeley where the cramps occasioned by confining six feet into a five-foot berth are ironed out on the football field. The rooters continue their way across the bay, get- ting their first glimpse of the city of many hills from the ferry, and are swiftly transported through the choppy waters to San Francisco. Baggage, taxi, hotel, dinner, show, and finally. the haven of one's own room. 11 TUESDAY-"To your right ladies and gentlemen, you see the section of San Francisco that was entirely destroyed by fire and which is now completely restored .. .. You are looking upon the world famous Golden Gate .... To your left are the finest golf courses in the world." 12 WEDNESDAY-The whole party reunites at the wharf of the Matson liner, Wilhelmina. One eye is kept warily on the boy who so nonchalantly assumes control of bright new baggage. Precious tickets are carefully tucked away in inner pockets. a slight panic ensues when some careless person rushes off to the news stand for a last magazine or a box of candy. The warning whistle sounds. Pushing and crowding excitedly, everything is finally miracluously aboard, and the gangway is drawn in. 13 THURSDAY-A strange change is observed on board the Wilhelmina. Smiling faces are magically replaced By deathly pallor. Sudden, involuntary trips are made to the outer rail of the ship. At nine p. m., a puzzled moon looks down on the deserted deck of the Wilhelmina. 14 FRIDAY-A few brave wayfarers venture forth and proudly establish themselves in deck chairs. There is much cabin-to-cabin visiting. Mr. Shaw, who has not missed a meal, goes about bringing cheer to the bed-ridden. Miss Read, who is also a worthy sailor, recites what she has had for lunch. 15 SATURDAY-For the first time, warm sun and smooth waters accompany the travelers. There is a noticeable lighting up of pale faces as the hitherto despised chimes for luncheon are sounded. Two p. m.: Wan spectators are tucked safely in deck chairs while the more hardy indulge in potato carrying, nail driving, shaving, cracker eating, and "Are you dere Casey?" contests. By six p.m. the staterooms are in wild disorder, and a more roguish bunch of sailors you never saw, attending the "Hard Times Party." (To whom it may concern: Persons suspected for filling balloons with milk and wafting them to unsuspecting receivers with forks in their hands should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law). 16 SUNDAY-The way everybody hurries not to be late for Sunday School leads one almost to think he was still at home. Nobody is late for the Weber Assembly, however, and President Tracy reminds the fellows of the ideals of Weber which they are expected to uphold in Honolulu. 17 MONDAY-Mr. Shaw wins the horse races for the third consecutive time; he goes about merrily jingling his winnings in his pocket. At dinner, which is formal, all are guests of the captain, who enter- tains royally. Joe, Lucile, and Eva are all awarded prizes for having won in the contests of Saturday. As those who danced later in the evening agreed, acrobatic power, as well as grace is necessary to be a successful dancer on board ship. 18 TUESDAY-"Yes it is," "No it isn't," "Yes it is-land!" From a mere cloud-like form on the horizon, there evolves the outlines of an island: Hawaii! Unbelievably green, the Island of Oahu seems to rise sheer out of the water. To the land-starved eyes of the passengers, it appears doubly enticing. How they feast their eyes upon it! Suddenly, with no warning, they are startled by cries of "Aloha!" Charming Hawaiian girls. all in white, with their arms loaded with gorgeous, fresh flower leis surround the football men. Accompanying the girls are Mr. Miles Cary, principal of McKinley; Mr. Harold Kay and Mr. George Q. Cannon, formerly of Ogden: Mr. Waddoup, mission president; Mr. Wooley, and others that we know; and everyone is given his first taste of Hawaiian' hospitality. But the greatest thrill of all is to follow. As the boat glides into the dock, the visitors are greeted by a Hawaiian band and choir of men and women whose rich voices carry out across the water. The incident is an unforgetable one. The greetings of hundreds of people at the docks, the strains of that melody of melodies, "Song of the Island!" As soon as they are landed, the football team is hurried off to the Barracks at Waheawa, where their training begins in earnest. 19 WEDNESDAY-At about seven a. m. there might have been noticed five young ladies slipping into the limpid waters of Honolulu. Many Oh's and Ah's are also audible as they find the water to their liking. It is discovered that what was thought to be an explosion in the night, turned out to be only a cocoanut falling on the roof of the cottage. 20 THURSDAY-Some of the visitors are taken to Diamond Head and other points of interest, while others are initiated into the sports of surf riding and Out-rigger canoeing. Gilbert thinks it must be the climate that's doing it, else how can he stand perfectly dry on one side of the street, and see it rain on the other? 21 FRIDAY-Three precious days gone already! Today there is a meeting of the Utah Club, who plan a trip around the island for the Utah visitors. The meeting is held in the Y. W. C. A., one of the beautiful buildings of Spanish Architecture in Honolulu. The boys return from the Barracks. 22 SATURDAY-The great day is here. The real purpose of the whole trip is about to be realized. Weber, undefeated in football for six years, is to match her prowess against that of the dusky sons of Hawaii. MICKS PLAY BEST FOOTBALL OF SEASON TO DOWN WEBER ELEVEN; WILDCAT ELEVEN BEATEN BY 13 TO 7. Such headlines graphically tell the story of Weber's defeat. Yet there is no quibbling over the decision. McKinley's victory is a clean-cut one, and Weber bows to her superior foe in good grace. Though there are many heavy hearts among the Weberites this afternoon, the spirit which characterized her many victories is not lacking in defeat. Weber still has the best football team in the world. The Hawaiian Luau which follows the game does much to alleviate the general gloom. The startled stomachs of the guests make the acquaintance of fresh pineapple, raw fish, roast pig. baked bananas, jellied cocoanut, and poi. Nothing but one's own hands are used to eat at a Luau. The really delicious feast is followed by interpretative Hawaiian dancing. 23 SUNDAY-Nine a. m.: The trip around the island is begun. Past rice fields, sugar cane, plantations, and taro fields they go, finally skirting the water's edge, and thus on to the L. D. S. Temple at Laie. Luncheon is served on the lawn at the Mission House, then a surf bath in huge, foaming waves, and back to town.
