FRANK WEYER’S HASTINGS COLLEGE CONNECTION:

A PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY

The Weyer family has graciously opened the Family Album to our use. Their photographs, added to those from the 1911 Bronco (edited by College Senior, Frank Elmer Weyer), and a few more recent photos from the collections of various newspapers have made up the "pool" from which we have selected a few pictures to publish – some of which were obviously posed, while others are of a more informal "snapshot" variety.

Frank E. Weyer, 1911 Bronco Editor, persuaded W.W. Clarke (son of an early H.C. Board Member and
 Art Editor of  The American Boy) to produce a Bucking Bronco logo as the College mascot.
