Winter Sports Club To CLIMB OUR SNOW COVERED MOUNTAINS; to skate on our crystal lakes and rivers; to coast, ski and toboggan down the famous ancient lake terraces and to appreciate the wonders of the great out-o-doors was the-purpose for the organization of the Winter Sports Club. Under the supervision of its president, Sherman Couch, and vice-president, Myra Wright, the club has stimulated an interest in Winter Sports which promises to become a leading activity not only of Weber but of Ogden as well. The annual winter hike to Mount Ogden was made on January 13th by twelve members of the club. The day was clear and cold, ideal for a winter hike; and the snow, varying in depth from one to twenty feet, was well crusted. The hikers tracked one behind the other, each taking his turn as trail breaker, in true Indian style. This method in- creases endurance; and on the trail of "King Winter" endurance is a very necessary factor. On reaching the top, good use was made of all extra coats, caps, and mittens. A real arctic wind, blowing snow and clouds, swept with cutting ferocity over the summit into the valley below. The stay at the flagpole was short-just long enough to sing the "Purple and White" and take a few pictures. Then began the most thrilling part of the trip, coasting down the mountain side -no, not on a man-made coaster, but on nature's own. The steep, well-crusted slopes provided a truly wonderful course. One's chief concern was to stay right side up, as he shot past rocks and trees, thru drifts of light snow, and over bumps at a rate not exceeded by the flight of the fastest bird. Upon reaching the cabin site a bonfire dried mittens, warmed feet, and invigorated souls. From here a fairly well beaten trail encouraged a speedy descent to the foothills, and a short time later twelve tired and hungry lads reached their homes, thrilled with the mystic weirdness of the winter-clad mountains, and happy in the joy of accomplishment. Another event sponsored by the club was the skiing and tobogganing party. Sixty lovers of the sport chartered a street car, fastened to its sides toboggans and skis, rode to the foothills, and then hiked to the old lake terraces near the reservoir. The party was divided into two sections, each section going down every other time. Five to ten found room on each toboggan. Once started there was no chance to stop. Descending faster and faster they would strike a little light knoll, leap into the air, again drive down a steep incline, speed over the snowy surface, the fine snow beating into rosy faces, and finally stop covered with the cold icy crystals, but thrilled with the fun of it. There was no time to meditate; at the top lusty throats were calling for the return of the toboggans. For real sport and fun this event ex- celled. It was declared by all to be worthy of repetition several times during each year. The Winter Sports Club has tried to popularize winter out-of-doors activity, and its greatest desire is that each year as Weber grows into a large College she will be- come the leader of out-of-door winter activities in this part of the state. debating Club THE FORENSIC INTERESTS of the school were encouraged this year by the formation of a Debating Club. This club held weekly meetings and listened to such speakers as County Attorney David J. Wilson, President Aaron W. Tracy, Professor Hessler of Ogden High School, and Debating Coach Earnest L. Wilkinson. In addition to encouraging intellectual effort, the club also con- ducted one of the foremost social dances of the year, converting March 30th into April 1st and having an April Fool Dance. It was one of the most successful dances of the school year. Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores became members of the club and received great benefit therefrom. Those responsible for the success of the club's efforts are: VAN TANNER, President. RUTH FOLKMAN, Vice-President. DAVID KENNEDY, Secretary. ERNEST L. WILKINSON, Advisor. College Girls Association A COLLEGE GIRLS' ASSOCIATION was this year organized for the first time at Weber. Like the High School Association, which preceded it, its function is largely social-to welcome the newcomers, to present programs in Devotional, and to foster the social life of the school by giving a number of parties, sometimes for the girls alone, but oftener with the parents or the boys of the school as guests. Its most notable accomplishment during this school year was the Valentine party, which furnished an evening of fun equalled only by the College Hallowe'en frolic.
