Show ROBERT NEWMAN President RUTH SCOWCROFT Vice President Freshmen In the first year of the reign of Owen F. Beal, the class of twenty- one journeyed up the hill to join the Weberites in exceeding great numbers. And behold, there was not such a talented class throughout the school. Yea, they did mind their own business exceeding well until the clouds of basketball hung o'er them, when out of the deep sleep of the upperclassmen, the Seniors realized that a great blow had fallen upon them. For the great class of twenty-one had whipped them with exceeding soreness. And it came to pass in the course of the basketball season, the Sophs also received the same treatment at their hands. And it came to pass that the championship rested with the Juniors and twenty-one. And behold, the Juniors waxed to exceeding great strength, and by chance won the game. But behold, Claude L. and Lee D. of twenty- one were received with great joy on the first team. And this class, thinking it time to have joy, gathered themselves together in the great Weber Auditorium, and did dance and make merry throughout the evening. They did drink the soup with exceeding great joy, as it was after August first. And lo! the extempo contests came, and the Seniors barely escaped with the championship, as this great class did pursue them vigorously. . . And it came to pass in the course of events, this great class did lead them all. . . Yea, the upperclassmen did cry mightily unto them, to know from whence their talent came, but of no avail. . . And thus ended the first year of the class that set a new pace in the history of Weber. |
