Show T HE great number of different contests and entertainments conducted and fostered by the Student Body of 1916-17 proves that the organization, tho probably younger in appearance than in by-gone days, believes in and enjoys any kind of school activity in which there is real fun or development. Under the auspices of the Student Body school teams in Basketball, Tennis, Debating, Extemporaneous Speaking, Oratory and Declamation were organized. Aside from these teams, inter-school contests were fostered to a greater extent than in former years, and it is safe to say that twice as many students took active part in these activities than in any previous year. The Board of Control, which consists of student body officers and faculty representatives, has held regular weekly meetings and has been continually extending school activities. All ex- tensions undertaken have proven a success. In all student body affairs the Board of Control and student body have always had the willing support of our conscientious principal, James L. Barker, to whom we feel grateful for the liberal student government that has been ours. The annual student body election resulted in the selection of the following officers for next year: President of Student Body, Ernest L. Wilkinson; Vice President of Student Body, Mary Woolley; Secretary and Treasurer, Czar Winters; Athletic Manager, Douglass Leishman; Yell Master, James Leishman; President of Public Service Bureau, Charles Linford; Vice President of Public Service Bureau, Mary Campbell; Secretary and Treasurer of Public Service Bureau, Lowell Ridges. ALUMNAE REPORT The Alumnae Association of Weber College are pleased to ex- tend congratulations to the students at our dear Alma Mater this year. As the year of 1916-17 draws to a close we recall the many brilliant accomplishments of our fellow-students and we partake of the feeling of pride which is shared by all alike. Every loyal student of "Old Weber" is proud of his Alma Mater and is proud of those students whose labors have added honor and lustre to her fair name. While at Weber we forget our individual ambitions, our own selfish strivings, and are moved rather by an irresistible desire to work for our school and her traditions. So it is that the debating championship or the oratorical honors are not won by "Tom Jones" and "Mary Smith," but rather that these students have achieved honors unto their school; and each in- dividual student therein is fully as proud as tho he or she had made the accomplishment. This community of ambition and mutual pride holds the minds of the Alumnae members, making it imperative that they ex- press appreciation for each year's improvements and each year's accomplishments. As the time is now at hand for another class to leave and scatter its members over the innumerable avenues of life, we are glad to extend to them a welcome into the Alumnae Association. We congratulate them upon their worthy achievement and trust that their whole lives may be crowned with a consummate success. To every loyal student of WEBER we desire to give the assurance that the sympathy and encouragement of the Alumnae members are always extended to them. We look for a continual growth and higher honors as each year passes, because the blessings which come from their efforts are shared equally by us. LELAND M. EVANS, '16 |
