Show Frances Cragun Vice-Pres. J. Willard Marriott President AY R. Scovi Secy-Treas. Weber College Report WEBER COLLEGE HAS MADE ENORMOUS STRIDES in the school year of 1922-23. The enrollment has increased from thirty to one hundred and fifty students. More important, however, than even this increase in number, is the development of a College spirit in this body. During the past year the Weber High School and the Weber College have become separate and distinct bodies, each having separate associations. Furthermore, the people of Ogden have been shown that a live College really does exist-a College that can do and does things. The College has enthusiastically entered the various Junior College contests. It was represented in the Grant Oratorical Contest by Josephine Rhees, Elizabeth Seppich, and Raymond Poulter. In debating, Junius Tribe, Raymond Poulter, Hugh Moyes, and Edwin Nelson were the contestants. The basket-ball team of the Col- lege entered the Junior College League and developed splendid team work by the end of the season, paving the way for future successful College athletics. In dramatics the College has also been active. Josephine Rhees made a charming "Merely Mary Ann," and to enjoy her art, the College went ensemble. To the Alumni play 'The Merchant of Venice," they bore their banners too. One February evening the College girls proved to be lovely Valentine hostesses to their respective escorts. On various evenings during the year, the College and Faculty made merry playing group games and consuming refreshments. The Cabaret-Vaudeville was an innovation in school annals, which will no doubt be carried on in the succeeding years . During the three nights of its presentation, fun-lovers saw a real "big town" display of high class hilarity. Scholastically, the College is top-notch. All classes have followed the regular courses of the University of Chicago and other accredited universities. The future of Weber College is hopeful, indeed; a splendid new building will soon be erected; the gymnasium is almost completed; and the enrollment for next year promises to be several hundred students. With these assurances, and with a real College spirit fully developed, the future of Ogden's Junior College is assured. President Tracy has kept a fixed goal before the College. He has impressed upon its every member the idea that his specific duty is to lay now the foundation of a real institution of higher learning. Ogden City realizes, as this school year ends, that Weber College is established to remain and that it has attained that true spirit which will mean growth for the community, for the College, and for the individual. |
