Show CHARLES A. OSMOND Courteous, reserved, and quiet, Mr. Osmond conducts his classes with a dignity that lends charm to the most intricate problems. His occasional snatches of dry humor, amid detailed explanation of phenomena, stimulate the scientific interest of his students in what otherwise might be an abstract study of physical law. Physics ORIGINALLY, physics was inappropriately termed natural philosophy, but now it has come to be known as the science of the phenomena of all that inanimate matter which does not involve chemical change. This department, with the aid of a well-equipped laboratory, teaches to the students the fundamental doctrine upon which the science rests-the conservation of energy. As ordinarily taught, this subject is made up of the apparently unrelated sciences of mechanics, sound, heat, light, electricity, and magnetism, but with physics considered as the study of energy, the student is not confused and is able to form a more accurate conception of physical law. | INTER with its characteristic activities has come. Upon the field of the inside campus the football squad drills for the final late season game. Inside the gymnasium, in the warm clear water of the pool, a merry group is laughing and calling. The rafters echo the sound and send it forth into the cool air. From the high windows of the gym floor, soon will come sounds of basketball games. Machines will push away the snow outside, banking it high against the tree trunks. Loyal, interested spectators will fill the gym to cheer for their favorite team. Dramatics EVER since the dream of the Weber Little Theater was inspired by Mr. Lemuel B. Josephs, famous friend and one-time instructor of the drama at Weber, it has been the fond hope of many enthusiasts that the dream be actualized. The return of Mrs. Wright from the coast, where she has been studying at the University of Southern California, has acted as a pow-erful stimulant. The Rex Theater has been procured as a stage upon which students may develop talents through the production of plays. It will be a laboratory for the drama, training young men and women to be future leaders in this art, selecting students of individual talent to progress as specialists, and building a cultural center where the best in drama may be introduced. BERTHA E. WRIGHT A certain poise and assurance in Bertha Eccles Wright, acquired through many years of observation and study with finely-trained devotees of the drama, combine with her own charm in a distinctive personality. Her characteristic naturalness and her open frankness command the love and admiration of students. ON the campus, the Freshmen and Sophomores are already casting icy missies that seldom reach their goal. Cold snow-flakes from the trees shower into their bare faces. A spirit of good fellowship is in the air, a secret longing for Christmas vacation combined with a dread of examinations and a consequent lack of desire for thoughtful study. Through it all the college stands in almost solemn silence giving no heed to the elements that surround it. It stands immutable; yet with all its dignity it carries a cheerful air of friendliness that is characteristic of its true relation to its students. |
