A dinner, musical numbers and guest speakers were topped off by inducting into the Alumni Emeritus Chapter the classes of 1940, 1941 and 1942. A Meritorious Service Award was also presented to Earl S. Paul. Paul was chairman of the sub-committee that selected the present site for the college. He was also instrumental in raising funds for the purchase of the site. Paul served as chairman of the WSC committee on buildings and grounds, which established the Master Campus Plan. Dr. Gordon T. Allred was asked to talk about his life at WSC. He said that doing so for him is “‘tantamount to turning loose a bear in a honey house. . .sheer delight for the bear, but no telling where it will end up,” he chuckled. Allred recalled the days his Mother, Pearl, taught in the English department, and his Father, Thatcher, was the chairman of speech and drama. “‘College-wide meetings were sometimes held in our home,’’ he said. “In fact, gatherings of that nature in our little front room seemed more like family reunions.” ‘“‘Weber Family,’’ Allred continued, was a term popularized by President Aldous Dixon. “And I can assure you, it was no mere bit of greeting card sentiment; it had deep-felt meaning, and still prevailed very strongly when I was a student at Weber nearly two decades later.”’ He recalled his campus days — with membership in the Phoenix Fraternity, college dances, and the Sadie Hawkins day the boys allowed themselves to be pursued en masse by the girls into Lester Park, where they had prepared a “magnificent mud bath.” “They ended up more like Moonbeam McSwine s than like Daisy Maes,” he laughed — “and some of them none too happy about it.” Members of the classes of 1940, 1941, 1942 who were not able to attend the Emeritus Chapter Banquet on May 19, who would like to receive their Emeritus Chapter Certificate and identification card are asked to call either Ginger or Sharon at the Alumni Office 6266564 before July 1. Without the identification card members of the Emeritus Chapter cannot get the discounts for cultural affairs, theatre, library use or other benefits offered by the Alumni Association. Vice president Robert B. Smith discussed the perspective of growth and change relating to Weber. He explained that those alumni gathered at the banquet represent a valuable group of people in that they connect history with the present. He lauded the level of support from the community and alumni groups that Weber receives and commended the group for their part in that support. Smith explained his surprise at the college’s ability to change, which, he said, is significant for learning. In the 2 years that he has been at Weber, the college has taken on four new deans and 70 new faculty members, marking a 20 percent increase in staffing. He maintained that the members of the faculty are exhibiting new expectations and new standards of growth and learning as they are seeing the value of raising self-expectations. Weber now has a graduate program and faces, in the not-too-distant future, the addition of several new programs and fields of study which will train professionals, Smith said. He cited several areas of potential expansion including computer technology in the arts and sciences. Music for the gathering of 145 emeriti and guests was provided by Afton Castlemain at the piano and vocal soloist Rick Givins who was accompanied by Greg Fenton. & Keep Up!
