Those Debonair, Suave Veterans Lambert Roe McGrath '49, '64 The first thing that comes to mind is the return of all those debonair, suave, veterans after the war. I also was a returning veteran but without the sophistication of the older vets. Anyway, it was hard to compete. We lost all of our girl friends to these handsome greats. They were better at almost everything: athletics, scholarship, getting along with people, friendliness. They were fun to be with. We rubbed shoulders with them in our social club and after class. One or two of them actually taught me to ski. Several of them became our heroes, and we followed them to the Uni- versity of Utah, Utah State, or BYU. We still hear about these classmates, and it is still fun to actually sit down with them, at times, and reminisce. They taught us much and probably shaped many lives without their knowing it. We have a vivid memory of a Weber College football game at the old stadium. It was a night game, the lights were bright, and there were only two players in the brightest part of the stadium - the opponent with the ball and Harry Soteras, our star football player. There they were, framed in the spotlight, by themselves, and trying to outdo each other. Harry wanted to tackle the other player, who wanted to make an end run. It appeared that the end run was about to be successful, when at the last minute, Harry reached up and caught the ball carrier by the shoelaces. Down he came. The challenge had been met, and Weber was the victor due to a shoestring tackle by one of our heroes. That was Weber College luck in those days. A shoestring tackle 66 We Remember Reed K.
