The College Year STUDENT BODY OFFICERS elected- for the year 1924-25 were pledged to carry out an extensive advertising campaign to insure a large enrollment when school opened for the fall quarter. During the summer months every opportunity to speak a word for Weber was eagerly seized. Two weeks before school began, students were busy preparing a pre-season edition of the Weber Herald. Committees of students and faculty members were already arranging the details of the President's Reception, the opening social event of the year. Only such unselfish loyalty to Weber's cause, continued through the year, has made possible the many noteworthy accomplishments that have been achieved. Scene on the Trail The Mt. Ogden Hike THE FIRST EVENT of real importance directed by the student body was the annual Mt. Ogden Hike. It was a glorious day in Weber history in spite of the fact that a chill wind, that increased in velocity with every upward step, was whipping the cold gray clouds around the peaks. The occasional moments of sunshine and the protection of sheltering cliffs afforded opportunity for the hikers to engage in periods of fun. Irma Galbraith and Dorothy Ballantyne, while trying to capture two elusive doughnuts hanging on a string, gathered enough powdered sugar on their noses to protect them from the weather during the entire trip. Miss Ridges proved her- self one of the best hikers of the day. She led the bunch nearly all the way to the top. After five chilly hours of climbing the hikers Alow the trail found themselves perched on the cold windy summit. It was indeed a "cold reception" as one of them expressed it. Numbed fingers found it almost impossible to gather fuel for a fire which when built was only warm where there was a flame, and there it was too warm. Numbed faces refused to function when the lunches were brought forth. It was a reverent, shivering group that stood with bared heads while Old Glory was unfurled on the steel pole and while the prayer was offered. Weber had again gained the top in the face of formidable obstacles. The Peak The Ricks-Weber Football Rally WHAT A THRILL TO SEE our own Purple and White flapping lazily, gracefully in (he gentle fall breeze over the city hall. We who proudly passed along the streets that day knew that Weber had at last won a place in the esteem of Ogden. With a victory over Intermountain Union, a four year college, we were already making plans for a game with Phoenix, Arizona, for the National Junior College Championship. Ricks was challenging our right to the honor. The rumor had come that the northern school had a fast aggregation and were fully intending to stop our rush for the flag. Only enthusiasm and support could win us a victory. Only a good crowd at the game would insure the financial returns needed to put over the year's athletic program. An enthusiastic student body, almost to a man, rallied to the cause to put over the first big advertising feature of the season. Togged with homemade "Weber vs. Ricks" posters, and led by the band, the cheering half- organized mob marched through the streets. With yells and songs they bombarded the city hall to observe the "temper" of the city "dads". Then it was that the mayor with smiling countenance proclaimed his in- The "Purple' Waves over Ogden
