Show College Notes The second year of Weber as a college has come to an end. This brings the college class to the final spurt of trying to gather enough hours' credit together to pass St. Peter, in the form of Bro. Dixon, and land a seat and a diploma with the graduates. The guardians of our destiny have been rather stern this year and so it is that the last day comes with ink-stained fingers and eyes like owls. The Seniors in their smug complaisance superinduced by the holding of a letter from the graduating committee are indulging in day dreams instead of work. We hope they will continue in these childish but pleasant dreams until next September, when they awake in Weber or some other institution. But, to come back to earth and more important subjects, ourselves. During the year we have studied hard and diligently even if we won't get an A. B. If we don't come up to the standard it's no fault of the college faculty. The huge economic books we have carried in our minds have had a deadly influence on us, but this deadly malady has been successfully combatted in wild bursts of joy. Our several parties have been variable in place, form of entertainment and those present. But just one word to the rising generation: A bonfire party with plenty of "eats" is the best get-acquainted method in the world. The participators in these simple joys include representatives from High School, Canada and Idaho, as well as from Weber. So think about it, students, and come back next year and see what pleasant surprises may be in store for you in the form of new college students. These notes draw near a close even as the school year has done. But the best, the last. Mr. Dixon leaves the school this year to accept a higher position. As has been said in other places his going will be a great loss to the school. Everyone in the school appreciates his efforts, but it is the college who will feel the heaviest loss. Mr. Dixon in his daily work in classes has given us a splendid opportunity to know the splendid friend and teacher that he is. As a class we want to thank Mr. Dixon for the work in the college department and the interest he has taken in the welfare of the class and to let him know that we appreciate his efforts and thank him for them. We wish him the best of luck in his new position. To Mr. Savage, next year's head of the college department, we wish to offer all the support we may be able to give and to wish him the best of success in his studies at Chicago. Seniors--Year fraught with earnestness, work, good spirit, anticipated freedom |
