Show 22 WEBER COLLEGE The Weber College Debating Association This club is under the supervision of the director of debating and the debating manager who is elected by the Student Association. The direct responsibility for the success of the club rests upon its President and Secretary, who are appointed by the Board of Control. The club meets bi-weekly, and at each meeting one current question is debated. From among those who participate in these bi-weekly debates will be selected the debators to represent the Student Association in the Inter-Collegiate debate. Missionary Club This club is composed of all Weber students who have rendered missionary service in behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and who, after performing their missions, have become registered students of the institution. The purpose of the club is to foster Weber ideals, to instil the spirit of the Gospel among the students, to encourage preparation for missionary work, to assist in the Public Service Bureau Service and to present socials and programs from time to time. Further, it aims to create among all missionaries who have ever attended the Weber College a spirit of endearment and material support for their Alma Mater. The organization consists of a President, a Vice-President and a Secretary. Founders' Day Weber perpetuates many interesting school traditions, chief among them being Founders' Day. It is observed January 7th, by a ceremony which includes a pilgrimage of the entire school in gala attire, to all the former homes of Weber. WEBER COLLEGE Hiking Being close to the famous Wasatch range of mountains, hiking is a much favored activity. Each fall the annual pilgrimage is made to Mount Ogden, a peak east of the school whose elevation is 9,575 feet. A great flag pole was planted on this peak October 4, 1922, by the school. Three hundred seventy-five people took part in the dedicatorial services. During January or February of each year a winter hike to this great peak is also sponsored by the school. The path is rugged, the scenery varied, hence come all the thrills of an Alpine climb. To the north and east of the school are Lewis peak and Mount Ben Lomond, the latter having an elevation of 9,717 feet. Trips to these peaks are taken during the year. Because of the numerous geological wonders in the Wasatch Range hiking is both educational and recreational. Winter Sports Skating, skiing, tobogganing, and coasting have been adopted as chief of winter sports. Skating on the north end of Utah's great lake is a pleasure unique in itself. The famous Bonneville Lake Terraces furnish fine courses for skiing and tobogganning. No finer slope for coasting could be found anywhere in the west than the great Stansbury Lake Terrace. Clubs and parties foster these activities. All students who attend the school are eligible to take part. |
