Kanab, Richfield, Millard, North San Pete, Rockland; from Idaho: Albion, Rigby, Shelley, Woodruff, Madison; from California: St. Ignatius, Polytechnic, Manual Arts; from Arizona: St. Johns; from Tennessee: Castle Heights Military Academy; from Texas: Ranger High School; from Hawaii: McKinley High; and from the Phillippines: Antique High School. After thus informally presenting the students to each other, President Tracy introduced Dowain Wright, student body president, Alice Sorenson, vice-president, and Kent Bramwell, the yell master. Each was persuaded to say a few words. Dowain, sensing the out-of-place feeling of the new comers, suggested to his classmates that they go out of their way to make new friendships. From Alice the newly enrolled heard for the first time mention of President Tracy's "silent speeches," and when the meeting was adjourned, they smilingly left with more cheerful views for the future. The students came to devotional the second day anticipating an enjoyable program, but were not disappointed when the student body separated into the major groups for the election of officers. The Forestry, Pre-Dental, and Pre-Medical students, uniting to form a larger personnel, elected as then president, Robert Marchel. The Pre-Law group chose Jay London as their leader. The Department of Education elected Wray Glenn; Department of Business, William Taylor; Department of Languages, Katherine Bradley; Department of Engineering, August Ahlf; Department of English, Keith Wilson; Department of Home Economics, Helen Poulter; and the Department of Physical Education, Athleen McGregor. Having "found" themselves in their respective groups, the students began to feel more at ease, and the time passed quickly. A few days after the election it was planned by the Board of Control and announced in assembly that on September the twenty-fifth the annual "Get-Acquainted" party would beheld at Wright's camp in Ogden canyon. Murmurs of approval welcomed the announcement and everyone was soon making preparations to go. However, the gods on Mt. Olympus had willed that it must rain, and on Sunday night, the twenty-third, there cams an Olympian deluge which lasted all day Monday and Tuesday. To contribute to this misfortune the Brigham bus had been wrecked, and several of the injured had been placed in the hospital. On Wednesday morning the students came to school unusually downcast. Not only had they wasted fresh haircuts, but they would also have to attend classes. The inclement weather and the bus casualty theatened the abandonment of the affair entirely, but through the request of the improved patients ana the timely suggestion that the party be held in the Weber Gymnasium, the day was saved. All afternoon classse were dismissed, and immediately after devotional the students raced to the gym. Lowell Barker came in first; Allan Blackford brought up the rear. Everyone received a lunch as he entered the door. As all the seats were occupied by the gentler sex, probably for the sole reason that they were the first there, the fellows parked themselves on the floor and ate their lunchs. When every sandwich and every apple had been eaten, "Duke" found it possible to announce the program. First the teachers were made to clamber upon the orchestra stand and introduce themselves by giving short speeches. Prof. Blaylock had the rare pleasure of giving his arm to Miss Read, Miss Stark, Mrs. Hall, and Miss Shaw in assisting them down; for "Ock" Demming, the Weber Bum, had his body sprawled over all places that might be used for a dignified descent. This called Dowain's attention to that personage, and he was duly presented to the student body. The freshmen class officers who had recently been elected were then initiated by the sophomore officers, Kent Bramwell, president, Lorna Crockett, vice-president, and Mae Skeen, secretary. Rex Greaves, the president, after making a short speech, was given a scroll with a few rules for the freshmen to follow, which prohibited them from using certain staircases and doors. The sophomores placed a "Beautiful but Dumb" sign on the neck of Bernice Hall, vice-president, and asked her to go around for a collection. Many students felt sorry for her, and sacrificed their apple cores. With a frown on his face, Verle Shaw, the secretary, sang "Little Jack Horner." The audience listened attentively to catch any tone of harmony, but were cruelly disappointed. The freshmen leaders in taking their initiation showed good sportsmanship and won the admiration of the student body. Hortense Hatch gave a reading, Blanche Heed and "Tex" Wilson sang vocal solos, and the program was closed by a selection from the Hawaiian trio, Harry Buchalter, Jimmy Ing, and John Peterson. To enliven the party, Dr. Van Buren had the boys play a few games. The girls giggled as usual and registered great pleasure when the fellows were tossed in a canvas. A few of the featherweights even had the pleasure of placing their feet on the ceiling. One of the school's heaviest heavyweights- his name need not be mentioned-went up, but the law of gravity overruled the law of force and he came down, lit on the canvas, and spattered out like a starfish with legs and arms a-kimbo. In the evening the "Get-Acquainted" party was climaxed by a dance, with Dr. J. G. Lind as the main center of attraction. A number of girls tried to earn their geology grades, but few progressed much further than a "D." After this party, interest in school activity ran high, and it was with rare enthusiasm that two weeks later the students started on the annual Malan's hike. At five o'clock in the afternoon a group of Weber collegians had assembled on the campus, and with much wise-cracking they flocked up Twenty-fourth street, occupying both sidewalk and road. Entirely unconscious of the rights of motorists and pedestrians, the party continued up the street until the foothills were reached. Here they stopped and looked westward over the city. Dusk was stealing softly over the land and what few dust particles were in the air formed a shadowy mist several feet above the earth; the sun seemed to be submerging in Great Salt Lake, and the rays of that small, fiery rim which had yet to go under were reflected by the water into the sky, forming an indeterminate plane of innumerable colors. The hikers were enraptured by the scene, but they hastened on-darkness would soon come, and the ascent might become dangerous. They neared the top. Darkness came, but with it the stars, and the trail was easily seen. As they climbed over the rim of Malan's Height, the group stopped to get a breath of cool air. In a moment they arrived at Weber's traditional camp and with relief deposited all burdens. Wood was gathered, a huge block "W," that had been prepared before, was lighted, and the students were soon sitting around a fire, listening to an informal program of songs, jokes, and reading. By the time the entertainment was over, the fire was reduced to embers. Weiners and marshmallows were roasted and devoured. Everyone's appetite was soon satisfied, and the hikers, feeling sufficiently strong to fall down hill, began the descent. The moon was out, and with this ample light the bottom was soon reached. Here, bidding each other good night, they departed for home. Another Weber function had been accomplished; all surviving barriers to amicability were overcome. Weber, with an all encompassing spirit of friendliness was now ready to enter upon the activities of the year.
