Gymnasium BELIEVING that the highest physical efficiency is necessary for the fullest enjoyment of life, the people of Ogden have seen fit to place in the community a gymnasium which is one of the finest in the West. Students of Weber College may here enjoy the fullest privileges. They are trained in the fundamental principles of physical education and given opportunities to develop their qualities of leadership in that line of work. Probably one of the biggest factors in Weber's athletic success of the past year can be accredited to the gym. Mr. M. L. Stevenson and Mr. Melvin Saunders have had charge of the men's work, while Miss Kathryn Shufflebarger, assisted by Miss Lucille Owen, the swimming instructor, has had the girls under instruction. To these people can be given the credit for placing the physical education department of Weber College on a par with that given in any school. No great variety of courses has been offered, but classes have been attempted that would meet the graduation requirements of any university. The aim has been to furnish an opportunity for every student to secure and maintain that physical condition which makes possible, through recreation, exercises, swimming, and various games, the highest mental and moral efficiency. A unique feature was held this year in the form of a "May-day Circus." The Weber Gym Association combined with the Weber Col- lege gym classes to give a very entertaining and unusual exhibition. It is planned to make this circus an annual affair. Swimming THE second year of swimming as a minor sport at Weber was a marked success, and far surpassed any accomplishments of the previous year. Three meets were held during the year. The one with the L. D. S. U. was the first Junior College Swimming Meet ever held in Utah. Its success gives promise of a real Junior College Swimming League with annual competition. Of the three meets held, one was interclass competition, while the other two were with the Weber Gymnasium team and the L. D. S. U. team. In the last two meets, Weber was defeated both times; the Weber Gym-Weber College meet was won by the Gym team by the score of twenty-seven to forty-six, and the L. D. S. team won the other meet by the score of sixty-three to nineteen. The meet with the L. D. S. team was of high standard for Junior Colleges since many of the men who competed were holders of state records. No extensive coaching has been given at Weber in this line although Professors Grey, Saunders, and Thomas have been of valuable assistance in organizing the team and rendering helpful suggestions. The men who entered in the Weber swimming contests were Rigby Jacobs, Harrison Parker, Leonard Steimle, Wallace Randolph, Garnett Littlefield, William Miller, and Smith Thompson. Steimle received the highest score in fancy diving and Jacobs was awarded the highest score in swimming. The state record of twenty seconds for the forty yard free-style event was equaled several times by Jacobs. Prospects are bright for the future and progress in swimming will undoubtedly be proportional to the growth in the other departments of the school.
