Long we’ve felt your noble presence, Long we’ve learned beneath your care, Learned to find in what seemed worthless, Beauties bright and lessons rare. Oft your influence has taught us How our lives may brighter shine, How by purity and wisdom, We may reach a life divine. Still we feel not to detain you From a higher, broader life, Where your wise and kind direction Will bring peace and joy from strife. Though of next year now we’re thinking Of your presence, bright, bereft, Still we feel that in each student Part of your great spirit’s left. So we join to wish you progress, In your work in God’s great plan; And our earnest prayers may help you Give out light and truth to man. —R. D. L.:09. 4 11 TKo Acorn PRINCIPAL DAVID 0. McKAY “The time has come, they say, for us to part; And thou, our dearest friend, art going away; Still know that thou shalt live in each one’s heart Long after we are free from mortal clay. The seeds that thou hast planted in each life— Some on rich soil and some on harder sod— Will help us live above earth’s care and strife, And lead us back with thee, our friend, to God.” With all the gratitude we feel for our unnumbered blessings, with all the happiness and satisfaction we enjoy at the close of another well spent year, there is mingled a feeling of deepest sorrow when we think that the year is taking with it the Principal who has become so dear to us. If the hand of Death had taken him from us, how quickly we should realize all he had done for our Institution, and how eager each would be to tell of personal inspiration received from association with him. Heaven has dealt, this time, more kindly and we are thankful; but let us be just as appreciative of his noble efforts for us, let us mingle our thanks with our good-byes and while he can see them and love them, let us strew our flowers along his pathway. He became Principal of the Weber Stake Academy when it was unpopular, when it could boast of but a handful of students, and most of them entered late in the Fall, and left early in the Spring. The pros- pect was not a very bright one, but he accepted it cheerfully and has worked untiringly and uncomplainingly from then until now. Surrounding himself with a faculty willing to work at the pace set by their energetic leader, he commenced planning for the future. The attendance increased rapidly and friends to the Institution were made on every hand. It is surprising to us, even now, when we think how quickly the old building became crowded and there was loud clam- oring for more room. When he first suggested a new building he was alone even in the hope of a realization of his plan. It is true he was surrounded by loyal men and women in the Faculty, but the New Building seemed so THe Acorn improbable. The members of the Board of Education who had borne the burden since the birth of the Institution were still struggling under the debt of the first building, and they could offer no encouragement. In spite of all this, he obtained their permission to assume the re- sponsibility, himself and commenced that Herculean task alone. When they saw his determination, the Faculty entered the work with greatest enthusiasm and have stood by him to the end. When his public work increased, those who were nearest him begged him to give up his school work, but he insisted that it was a pleasure and that he could remain until the completion. During the past year we have enjoyed the result of that labor, but only a few realize how much of the best of his life he has given for us and the New Building. Within its walls there is no tablet engraved to his honor, no stained window reminding us of his nobility, no bust or painting of him—the modest man would not have it so—but the hal- lowed and sacred memory of a life so pure, so full of sympathy, energy and faith will brighten throughout eternity, while monuments are crumbling to dust. Fortunate indeed are the students who have been in his classes; for when he taught religion he gave truths he believed and had proved by practice; his lessons in literature were interpreted in the light of love and charity for all mankind, and his moral teachings had behind them all the force of a perfect moral life. Now he is about to leave us, there is but one heart in the school and that’s sair,” but we are thankful that we shall ever be able to count on his love and interest, and wherever he goes, we desire him to feel that he has the admiration, esteem and prayers of every loyal heart in his school—the Weber Stake Academy. |Tho Acorn ) APPRECIATION When the day is dark and dismal, And the sun beyond our sight; Then we miss the golden sunshine, With its rays of radiant light. But we need the days of darkness, Need some days with lack of cheer; So that we might know the brightness Of the light, when it is here. Thus it is with all life’s blessings: We absorb them day by day. Never thinking of their presence, Till their brightness is away; Then we're sorry of their going, Then we think of what is gone. Then we’re better for the blessing; For we know what it has done. So in this our school we’re spending Precious time of priceless worth. Little thinking of the future, In our jovial, carefree mirth. Day by day we thus are getting, Moral lessons, truths divine, And our teachers nobly striving, In our way as lights to shine. Now we may see little beauty, In our daily lessons here, Eut in time, when school is over, Then their beauty will appear, And oftimes, when life gets dreary, Full of trials, grief, and pain, Words of truth, long thought forgotten, Then will give us hope again. Let us learn to look for goodness In each day as it goes by, And thus store a wealth of sunshine To be used when storms are nigh. We may store up gems of lustre, For we meet them every hour; And these gems of truth will sparkle, Through our lives to give us power. Ruth Larson. THo Acorn 11 7| ODE TO W. S. A. Dear Weber Stake Academy, I love thy very name. Thou mak’st thy pupils better far, By pointing out life’s aim. Thy teachers noble, true, and kind, Have taught the way of truth, Have given best encouragement To hearts of troubled youth. And when life’s lessons here are learned, And we are old and gray, We’ll then look back with yearning hearts To dear W. S. A. — Beatrice Bornsjr.m THAD REUVER [8 | [The Acorn During August and September of eighteen hundred and sixty twor the Union army suffered several defeats. Besides losing many strong positions, they lost thousands of men. Some were killed outright,, some were taken prisoners and other disabled men were picked up on the field after Lee seized Marye’s Heights. Among those picked up, was the outspoken, impetuous Thad Reuver. He was one of the first to volunteer on the Union side, and bad fought bravely and well thus far. Previously, being in prison was unknown to him, and I assure you, it was quite disaggreable at this time. He was not contented to sit here and make the best of things. On the other hand, he thought about his position in the morn- ing, he thought about it at noon and when night came, he found it still creeping through his brain. Thad had several good natured talks with the captain in charge of the soldiers, but no one else knew just what they were about. A con- federate soldier passing by them as they were in the midst of one of these conversations heard Thad say, “Well I don't think a little under- ground work would do so very much harm. One morning the general came to talk to him. He promised the Union soldier wealth and his freedom if he would tell him the weak and strong positions and also the plans of the Northern Army. Thad knew that difficulties had often arisen between the Union officers and him- self. He hadn’t forgotten the slurs and insults, he had received at times from others with similar dispositions. He knew also that the losses on the Union side had been heavy of late, and it looked as though the Confederates might win. Nevertheless, he promised to give to the General during his next visit the whole plan of the Union army. Near the latter part of June, the captain saw that there was going to be something interesting develop around Gettysburg. He and Thad Reuver talked the matter over that evening before retiring. All the dissapointments and quarrels and cruel words that were connected with Thad’s life in the Union army came up again in his mind, and every time they did, they snatched with them a bit of his loyalty to the Union cause. And oh how big and bright were his prospects for the future now! He could easily escape the little disgrace attached to this. THe Acorn 11_9j Not many hours afterward, he was walking down the main street of his home town. How glad he was to be home! What a warm wel- come there would be in that little cottage by the mill. Thad Reuver could hardly wait to see those dear blue eyes of Bessie’s and hear the roguish laugh of little Rob as he ran out to meet his father. Just think little Rob would be five years old now! Finally he arrived at the gate and in a moment, Bessie was in the arms of her husband. Baby Rob came running out but stopped in wonderment for a minute or two. He could hardly remember his papa. It didn’t take so very long however for him to say, “You’re a soldier, aren’t you papa?” “Yes, my son.” “You’re a true soldier too, aren’t you papa? Mamma says I may have a soldier suit some day and maybe I’ll grow to be a true blue sol- dier too.” What thoughts were these that were clogging Thad’s brain and dimming his eyes with tears? “Had he been a true blue soldier? Did he want his little son to grow up to be like him?—Well no other Union man knew about it. What was the difference?-----There was a differ- ence. Why, oh why didn’t I realize it before?” Little Rob tugged away at his father’s sleeve but all was in vain, the tears kept coming. He awoke. The captain was nudging him and telling him that the General was here for the plans. “I can’t, I can’t tell them,” was all he could say for moments. “What’s the matter with you ? Have you forgotten your promise ?” “Forgotten! Goodness gracious, no. The thoughts of it haunt me. I’d rather be insulted, whipped, starved and die in the meanest, lowest prison on earth than be a traitor to my country.” The general walked away dumb-founded. “We might have known it would’t work,” he muttered. Little Rob did have a blue soldier suit and he, like his papa tried to be a true blue soldier.—Marion A. Belnap,'05. 110 | { The Acorn TO THE FACULTY Our Faculty, we love you all From our Apostle down; For many smiles you’ve given us When we deserved a frown. We have so much to thank you for, And never can repay The truths that you have taught to us In lessons every day. We all do most sincerely hope That in our lives, each day, We may, by your example taught, Help some one on his way. And so dear teachers one and all, We thank you for the ray Of living light you’ve shed on us, To help us on our way.—Ellen Agren. The Acorn | | 111 A REVERIE Every evening just as darkness Falls upon the silent earth, And the wintry landscape fading Mingles sadness with our mirth, Steal I softly to the fireplace, Where I love to sit and muse, While the leaping flames go dancing Up and down the blackened flues. All alone here with the shadows Flickering on the darkened walls, While the wailing wind of winter Down the wide old chimney calls, Long and often do I linger, Gazing where the embers cast Glowing paintings of the future— Fading pictures of the past. On one side, the ruddy firelight Stretches in its rosy hues, Visions of a brighter future With success and joy, its dues; But among the fairest pictures, Darker spots are found as well— Sorrow, pain and often evil Are the things the spots foretell. On the other side, the embers Dying down to ashen gray. Reproduce to tender fancy Dear old times long passed away. Half forgotten joys and sorrows, Blended in a dimmer light, Flood the heart with half sweet sadness, Vanished days come back tonight. Dreaming here I sometimes wonder Whether in far distant years, As an aged woman waiting, Free from all youth’s hopes and fears When the trails of life are over I shall watch the dying light, Picture with its last faint glimmer Future days without a night. —Pearl Smuin,’08. 112 | [ The Acorn DEBATING Hurrah for our debating team! may they always be as successfi as they were Saturday April 25th when they defeated the Salt Lak High School. This is the first debating our school has ever done and the victor; certainly reflects credit on our institution. The Salt Lake boys came up very confident of winning. It wa perfectly natural that they should be; because they had debated befor and had been in oratorical contests, while our boys and girls were in experienced. Because our team lacked the experience, they seemed t study harder, and under the direction of Mr. J. P. Goddard, hunte' reference books and filled the boards in room twelve with outlines Their victory was anything but an easy one, and was due to their har study and constant application to the question before them. A debating team is nearly always judged by rebutal speeches. Ou students showed their ability when they were giving their final talks and certainly outclassed Salt Lake, although the visitors were stronge than our team in delivery. But students, our team’s career has jus begun and they need our support. The next debate will take place i Park City, and then the final will be held in the Salt Lake Theatn Students, let the team feel that our hearts are with them. OUR NEW PRINCIPAL Wilford M. McKendrick was born in Toole City, Toole Co., Utal January 12, 1870. His first blessing was that of noble God fearin parents who encouraged him to obtain a perfect education—physica mental, and spiritual. He attended the district school until he was fifteen when he be came a student of the B. Y. Academy at Provo under Dr. Carl C Maesar, from which school he was graduated with the degree of Bache lor of Pedagogy in 1895. The following year he was one of five teach ers to receive the church degree of Bachelor of Didactics. He taught his first school at Lake Point, Toole County, when h was seventeen years old. Two years later he became principal of th district school at Monroe, Sevier County and in 1895 was appointed ir 1 'M | The Acorn 11 13] structor of Mathematics in the B. Y. Academy at Provo, where he re- mained until 1898. From 1900 to 1902 he did missionary work in the Southern States Mission, spending the first nine months in the South Alabama Confer- encc and the remainder of the time in the office at Chattanooga where he had charge of the correspondence of the mission. He is remembered in t.he South todav as the Mormon debator who did so much toward allaying the prejudice against the church throughout that section of the country. He was victorious in the encounter with Rev. Haynes, a Cambelite minister in Alabama and travelled eight hundred miles to defeat Rev. Lee Jackson before an immense audience in Mississippi. He became a member of the faculty of this institution in 1902 and has been one of its most energetic workers as well as one of its most loyal supporters since that time. During the first year, he suggested the possibility of a Lecture Course and was immediately made chairman of a committee of three to work out the details incident to the establishing of a permanent course in the institution. The committee has known no other chairman and the success of this great boon to students and the public generally, is due principally to his earnest efforts and his never failing faith in the judgment of the Weber County public. He has been a true friend and staunch supporter of Principal McKay, and probably no teacher has ever deserved and received more of the love and confidence of principal and students than has this great hearted man. In introducing him as the new Principal, Bro. McKay said, “The night was never too dark, the way too long or the task too great for Brother Me Kendrick, when it was for the good of the school. During the six years we have worked together, he has never once said no; more than that, he has never quibbled.” The future of such a man is easily predicted; by supporting he has earned the support of teachers and students, by being a true friend he has made a host of friends and his future must be a brilliant one. “A man he is to all of us most dear; So kind and thoughtful, sympathetic too, Our hearts respond his slightest word to hear, In him we recognize a leader true. O may the Father who doth bless us all Direct him always with the greatest care; And may the angels heed his slightest call, And answer promptly every earnest prayer.” [ 14 j |THe Acorn AT THE SUMMIT OF THE SIERRA MADRE MOUNTAINS Picacho Grande, dotted here and there with sharply contrasting patches of glistening snow and clumps of dark brush, lay before us. It was scarcely higher than the surrounding peaks and was such a mod- est, round topped affair that the name Picacho {Peak) seemed very inappropriate. The grade was so easy for the last half mile that we galloped our ponies right to the summit; but, on reaching it, we stopped short and drew back aghast—we were high above everything and in front of us was a mist-filled chasm. It seemed that the highest breeze from behind might topple us head long into space. Across to the west, shrouded in a blue haze, was a black wall of mountain with a still blacker rent breaking its evenness. Soon the bright sun partly cleared the mist from below and we could make out, down, down, almost di- rectly under us, a winding thread of silver. By means of field-glasses, we saw that the tiny thread was a tumbling, surging river, leaping high cataracts here and racing down smooth rapids there, or spreading out in a wide quiet stream. On the banks, in little canyons, were clumps of tropical trees and we could easily imagine that rich fruits hung from the branches, and that gay colored birds hopped from limb to limb, making the valley echo with their wild cries. We thought of sunshine and warmth, but the dazzling sun only mocked us; the light breeze which began to blow caused us to button our over-coats tighter and to seek a protected nook where we lighted a roaring fire. The Acorn [ | 15 j THE BOX-ELDER SWING The ropes are decayed with a cover of moss, The swing-board is worm-eaten, dingy and cracked, And 1 gaze from a world full of evil and dross Where the box-elder swing seems to beckon me back; Back, back to my happy young boyhood once more To wander again where the meadow larks sing, Back, back to the old times and the pleasures of yore, To the primeval woods and the box-elder swing. I can hear its faint creak in the summer winds sigh As it longs for the sweet thirty summers ago, And the robin seems singing a faint lullaby As Time softly rocks the old swing to and fro. The brook babbles on in its journey to Fate But its echoes remain thro the woodlands to ring Fancy hears the same blue-bird respond to his mate That I heard when I played at the box-elder swing. The wild summer-roses are smiling again, The sweet little mary golds nod to the breeze; They heartily welcome the same summer rain, And bow their good wishes to neighborly trees. The bright yellow dandelions fresco the ground, The honey-bees swarm where the ivy-vines cling; All swarm as my thoughts where sweet mem’ries surround The picture of youth and the box-elder swing. The old wood-land pathway that curves thro’ the glade. The path that has so often guided my feet,— Will no longer lead to the elder's cool shade Where I sat to repose from the mid summer heat. Tis now over-grown with an acre of weeds Where the nettle lays low with his treacherous sting, But with food for the dreams my good memory feeds On the scenes that surround the old box-elder swing. The sweet crystal spring at the foot of the path Darts upward and down with a transparent flow. And the same happy sparrows indulge in their bath As they did in the sweet thirty summers ago. I can hear the same mourning dove cooing his pliant, I can hear the same whip-poor-will trimming his wing What a picture ’twould be for an artist to paint! This picture of life at the box-elder swing. The glorious sun broke its smile through the face Of the oak and the aspen, the elder and ash, And the ground was a net work of intricate lace Daily bathed in the spray of the brooklets’ cool splash. The swing told its secrets from mom until eve,— The secrets so precious to boyhood’s bright spring; ’Tis a a treasure and gem that behind me I leave: This sweet charm of childhood,—the box-elder swing. From a world of contentment, good times on a farm— I have memories treasured that gold cannot buy. About them my heart holds a hypnotic charm ; The stream of Rememb’ranee shall never run dry. | The Acorn | ( 171 These treasures I always shall claim as my own, Be I beggar or count, be I toiler or king, For the costliest gems of an emperor’s throne Are the mem’ries like those of the box-elder swing. I can see it today as I cherished it then;— The hemp of the rope may be parted in twain Or the elders destroyed by the axes of men, But the same noble picture shall always remain The very same sun shines upon us today, But the same pleasant sunbeams no moments can bring Like those that I spent in the past Far-Away With the comrades of youth at the box-elder swing. —Walter Emmett. THE LECTURE COURSE . The Academy Lecture Course has become a permanent part of our institution. The people of Ogden look forward to its announcement as they do to the announcement of the regular theatrical season. The committee spend moie money each year in order to obtain the very best talent for the development of the students and the public in gen- eral. The students, for whose benefit this course was primarily insti- tuted, have taken a deeper interest this year than in the past, and as a consequence, it has been a financial as well as an intellectual success. The committee is at work arranging the course for next season. Seven numbers have already been secured. Montaville Flowers whose ability the people of Ogden already know, will be with us next year, also Opie Read who so pleasingly combined wit with so many truths in his “First One Thing and then Another.” Sylvester A. Long will give one of his “Entertaining Lectures.” Fredrick E. Hopkins of Chicago, Jacob A. Riis, a reformer and author of great ability, Russell H. Con- well, president of the Temple College, Philadelphia, and the Whitney Brothers Quartette are the numbers already procured. The committee promise an exceptionally fine course and feel assured the people will appreciate their efforts and be benefited by coming in contact with so many of the greatest men of our nation. 118 11 TKo Acorn OUR FACULTY So tall, and stately is his form, A prince of men, he nobly stands, A leader; that he is indeed, ' But one, who need not use commands. His beaming eye does oft times show How deep the feeling of his soul, He inspires us for truth to seek; Eternity he puts our goal. The students love him one and all; And oft you’ll hear them sadly say, “O, what will English be next year, When we have not our dear McKay?” But we are sure we still shall have His love and faith to help us on; His influence and cheer we’ll feel, Although his loving presence’s gone. There is a teacher dear to us, Her name’s Jennette Morrell; She aids us in so many things As all of us can tell. No matter at what hour it is Her work is needed here, She’s on the spot prepared for work And tells us “do not fear.” In wisdom, grace, and goodness true No one can take her place; 0, how we’ll miss her guiding hand That here has helped the race. [ THe Acorn | 19) She is a sister to us all; “Good work” has been her cry, She’s roused the good within our souls And raised our ideals high. Logical and true his mind His life is full of reason, Quick to pardon, very kind, Except in case of treason. Our principal he is to be And though he’s stout, we’ll love him, And by next year we’ll all agree, There’s none to hold above him. Who is it, do you ask me? Well now just wait and see. He delves in things fantastic And things imaginary. He has a firm foundation, And what he does, does well. Where does he get his notions? From life as you can tell. He has the education, And for pedagogues ’tis fine To teach wherein salvation Can be taught the human mind. You’ll see him work among the boys, As though they were his only joys; The saw, the square, Oh! how they ring, “Old time Religion,” is all he’ll sing. 120 J | The Acorn Ballantyne the man of song, Who all the blessed day, Is helping ’long the happy throng, To sense sweet music gay. He ’peals to our emotions, And does what ere he can, To lighten our commotions, And help ennoble man. Our good kind Brother Jensen, Who has this many a time Appealed to our emotions, To help along mankind. When in our good devotion, He’s had a word to say, He’s called the best that’s in us To waken to life’s fray. A man of Greek and Latin, Who scarce has time to smile, � For all his rare spare moments, With themes he doth beguile. The students make a tantrum, “Bout themes he has them write, Yet all their lenghty comments, He has to read and right. A girl of Arts and Science, Miss Eva is her name, Her doilies and her doughnuts, Have won her wondrous fame. She is a willing helper, The world she can defy, To take more fancy stitches Or make a better pie. | The Acorn | { 2lj Our D. Ray Shurtliff is the man. Who’s ever persevering, He teaches how to hold the hand, In Shorthand engineering. 1 n type writing he is the one, To show you how to do it, You must get the elastic touch, Or else forever rue it. He likes to see the students spry, Writh ever cheerful faces And J have often wondered why, They've won so many graces. Within the dear old Arts room, Miss Larkin you will find, She teaches cutting, sewing, And cultivates the mind. She likes her work so much here, And one can plainly see, That there is an attraction, And that is J. P. G. In the room of three plus nine, Our J. P. Goddard you will find, A man who knows his business well, And knows he does, as you can tell. The students all do like him though, Because when balances are out, And they do feel inclined to pout, J. Percy with his “yes you can,” Does start them working once again, They soon look up and happily Exclaim, “I have it,” J. P. G. 122 | [The Acorn There never was a maiden fair With more potential graces Than she with such abundant hair And cheerfullest of faces. She teaches how to make the fudge, And how to boil and stew I wonder who’ll be Myrtle’s judge Of all she cooks, do you ? You ask who the man is, well now can’t you guess, He has a high fore head and eyes full of quest; When school rooms are chilly and troubled our souls, Now what could we do without our Brother Cowles? A little man there is in school, His name well you can guess, He always sisters all the girls, And brothers all the rest. In Physics he’s a dandy, ’Cept when he gives a test, His birds-eye view is handy, Say nothing of the rest. Bailey the man of bugs and plants, Is always looking for a chance, To brighter make the rugged roads, Enhance the study of flowers and toads. PLEASURE The Acorn [ | 23] Pleasures are of two kinds, first, those which we seek, and second, those which seek us. The first are usually those received by going to cheap shows or vaudeville, by turning the Sabbath into a picnicing day, or by merely satisfying the passions. The second, are the pleas- ures we feel when we have done some good, or made some one else happy, and in so doing we have lost self. We feel these pleasures long after the cause has been removed and get a great deal of true satisfac- tion from them. If we watch a man who continually seeks pleasure, we shall find him selfish, narrow minded, and morally corrupt. On the other hand, watch one who tries to give other people pleasure and never thinks of self, and you will find one who is sought after most; who is in continual demand. He is remembered many years after the other man’s ex- istence is entirely forgotten. There is only a short time allotted us to live upon this earth, and it is too precious to spend in pleasure seeking. Men who truly succeed, have pleasure seek them, and enjoy this pleasure; they do not spend their time seeking it. “Pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flower, its bloom is shed; Or like the snow-falls in the river, A moment white—then gone forever; Or like the borealis rays, That flit e’er you can point the place. Or like the rainbow’s lovely form Evanishing amid the storm.” —Wilmina McFarland '08. (24 | [The Acorn JUST AN INCIDENT IN LIFE “What are you going to do, Amelia, after you graduate? ” ask a young girl sitting with two of her class mates. “I’m going to teach.” “And you, Jane?” returned Amelia. “I’m going to the University.” “And now tell us what you are going to do. Favorite?” “I?—Oh I’m going to—Well I hardly know what to do” answer Favorite, with a rather far away look in her large dark eyes. “Favorite, I believe you intend to get man ied,” said Jane earnest! “Of course I intend to get married some day,” replied Favori “I shouldn’t like to live an old maid,” should you ?” “Well,said Amelia, there are worse things than being an old maic “What is one, being an old bachelor?” “Yes,’ said Jane, or a drunkard’s wife.” The girls fell into a thoughtful mood.—Evidently they h approached a subject spoken of before. After a moment’s silence, for three girls couldn't endure more than a moment’s silence—Ja asked confidentially: “Favorite, are you really in love with SamLoubell ? I hope y aren’t. He isn’t worthy of you.” “Why isn’t he?” asked Favorite. “Because,” continued Jane “he is reckless; I believe he is dishc est—he lied about that broken desk—and you know better than that his breath frequently smells of whiskey—especially in the dances “Well, he’s just as good as any of the other boys, so far as I c see. Anyhow, girls, he says he loves me; and he’s promised me to qi his dabbling with liquor, and to stop his smoking—But I don’t kno sometimes I think it’s alright for me to encourage him, and other tiir I don’t. Girls, I’m worried.” And Favorite with a characteris toss of her head, that was always accompanied by a forward moveme of her little foot, heaved a sigh that showed that her “worry” w deeper than words. O these premonitions that come to us! If we could only und« stand their significance, and heed their signals! How many a you soul would be saved that has been carried along ignorantly thou innocently, to a wrecked life! ■as THe Acorn 25 Just such a warning was in Favorite’s heart that day but she shook it off believing she could steer her own course. She did, and sailed straight for the Maelstrom. These three girls were students in an academy, in a prosperous western town. They graduated with honor June 1, 189—. Amelia became a successful teacher in her home country. Jane went to the State University, graduated, taught a few years, and married a success- ful young professional man, in---, the Capital of the State. Favorite heeded the prophetic warning of that school day to this extent: She put “Sam” on probation for two years, during which time he “straightened up,” and became a very promising young man. People said, “Favorite will make a man of him yet,” and “I admire Favorite’s pluck in refusing to marry him until he stops his smoking and drinking and so on. You know how people talk. Yes for two years Sam Lou bell’s conduct was irreproachable, and he succeeded in getting Favorite Mannering’s hand in marriage. Her class mate’s hint, two years before, that Sam had a dishonest trait, had been forgotten. There was no thought that Sam had ever deceived her during these two years by taking a drink “on the sly”. June 15, 190—Favorite Mannering became Mrs. Sam Loubell. It was a pretty wedding and all was love and happiness judging from the following account that appeared next morning in a local paper: “One of the most important events of the week in------was the marriage of Miss Favorite Mannering to Samuel Loubell. The bride, most becomingly attired in white silk and carrying a shower bouquet of white carnations, was attended by Miss Irene John- son. After a sumptuous wedding supper the bride and groom left for an extended bridal trip and will be at home to their friends after July 25th. The happy couple are prominent in social circles.” Jane was away at school; but Amelia was present at the reception. During the evening, she remarked to a friend confidentially. “I do hope Sam will be true to his pretentions during the last two years—Favorite is a beautiful girl, and I hope she is not placing her love where it will be unappreciated. “Years rush by us like the wind. We see not whence the eddy comes nor whither-ward it is tending; and we seem ourselves to witness j 26 11 The Acorn their flight without a sense that we are changed;” and as the yea] by companions separate. Seven years from the wedding-night school girl Jane and her husband chanced to visit her old home-t One evening just as the sun was setting, they were strolling along joying the balmy air and the glories of a Western sunset. As they pc the little school house, Jane talked of old school days, of her girl panions, of their studies, their instructors, their examinations, mencement day. O how many thousand thoughts crowd the mer at sight of an old land mark in childhood! Jane experienced then and among the choicest pictures on memory’s wall that evening her two girl friends,Amelia and Favorite. Suddenly she stopped tal about the happy old days, and a look of sadness beclouded her face ‘‘Poor Favorite,” she continued, ‘‘She was so trusting. Sh lieved in Sam’s honesty and thought she could reform him.” “I’ve heard you say he did keep straight for two years,” said Campbell her husband. “Yes, he did; or at least, he pretended to.” “Do you think it was only pretense?” “I lost confidence in him when he lied about a bench he broke, then bragged about his cleverness in escaping punishment—one —well if there isn’t Favorite now'.” “Where?” asked Mr. Campbell. “In that buggy, holding a baby in her lap. That is her . mother by her side and her little girl kneeling in front.” And Mr. Mrs. Campbell watched the buggy go west on main street which rz right angles to the one on which the school house stood, and on w they were strolling. When they reached the comer, they saw buggy standing in front of a saloon, and the little six year old climbing out. Jane experienced a sinking feeling go all over her and almos stantly caught her husband’s arm and unconsciously cried, “Oh, that terrible.” Yes it was terrible! There sat an aged mother and her daugl the latter holding reins in one hand and supporting a babe, a months old, by the other. A little boy three years old was sleepin the church yard. The rays of the setting sun were just kissing flowers on his grave, planted there by a heart broken mother. A innocent little “Favorite,” six years old, was walking into a loaths beer hall to ask a drunken father to come home with her and mama It was indeed a sorrowful scene; but when that little girl appe again at the door alone, and between sobs that were shaking her little body, said something to her mother, the nature of which can be guessed, it became almost heart-breaking. Little Favorite climbed into the buggy, and the occupants started down the street. But when about a square from the saloon, the horse was turned and driven back to the saloon. A second time the little girl pushed open the door—A little babe trying to rescue a brute—an angel that should be enjoying the bliss of heaven, which is only another word for home, walking into a sty to lead a hog from his mire! and yet that brute, that hog was her father! O man, what will not dishonesty and intemperance lead you to! This time she came not unattended. Evidently the strangled manhood of his companions had been aroused, and they insisted that the father go with his daughter. There was some talking on his part when his wife asked him to come home. Favorite’s old friend, still standing unobserved on the comer east of the saloon, could hear only an occasional word. The wife talked loudly,she seemed to have partaken ofcthe husband’s coarse- ness.—“Drunk for two days”—“Leave you,” “not a bite in the house” —were some of the words that were spoken loudly enough to be heard. After a few minutes the man staggered back to the saloon, a hog returning to his wallowing in the mire, and Favorite and her little one drove to their home— What a change in a young girl’s life! And only nine years since her commencement day! —Oman. 28 THe Acorn THe Acorn Published by the Students of the Weber Staho Acad Subscription Price . . Single Copy EDITORIAL STAFF.

We appreciate the work that Mrs. Morrell has done for us, and want to thank Birde Wotherspoon ’07 for her ar- tistic drawings. When our principal D. O. Me Kay leaves, the Acorn will lose one •of its best friends. He was the first to suggest a school paper, it was he •who gave it its name, and since it was planted, he has been a true and faithful gardner, giving the little seed everything to aid its growth. THE SENSE OF VALUES One of our teachers often tells the following story1: “Two small boys were playing in the room. I went up to them .and said, Tve got some money for you. Which will you have, ten cents now or fifty cents thirty days from now?’ Th older one, about thirteen years, said. Til take the fifty cents thirty days from now.’ The other, about seven years old, said, ‘I’ll take the ten cents now.’ ” What was the difference between these two boys? Expereince had taught the one to know that fifty cents thirty days hence is more valuable than ten cents today, and that it would pay to wait. The younger boy did not have the proper appreciation of values. The deep est aim of education, says Prof. James, “is to enable us to acquire a true standard of values.” The fact that few of us appreciate the value of an education is shown by the number of students who drop out of school during the year to accept a position that offers “the ten cents now.” Not only in the financial but in the intellectual world this true sense of values is very essential. Mr. James continues, “What the colleges— teaching humanities by examples which may be special but which must be typical and pregnant—should at least try to give us, is a gen- eral sense of what, under various disguises, superiority has always signi- fied and may still signify. The feeling for a good human job anywhere, the admiration of the really admirable, the disesteem of what is cheap and trashy and impermanent—this is what we call the critical sense, the sense for ideal values. To have spent one’s youth at college, in contact with the choice and rare and precious, and yet still to be a blind prig or vulgarian, unable to scent out human excellence or to divine it amid its accidents, to know it only when ticketed and labeled 130 j jThe Acorn and forced on us by others, this indeed should be accounted the v- calamity and shipwreck of a higher education.” We have to deal with men after we leave school, and in order to that successfully we must have a knowledge of men and be able discern their good qualities. Our Savior possessed this power t greater degree than any man. Then to cultivate it not only bri: success here, but draws us nearer Him. In one way the differe: between Christ and man lies in His greater degree of appreciatior the true sense of values. Study your classmates, study men, that you may be able to “Kr good men when you see them.” Search for truth that you may pi the proper value upon it, and learn not to reject a five hundred per c increase a few weeks hence for the ‘‘ten cents now.” MISCELLANEOUS Mohammed put into words a great symbolic truth when he saic his disciples, ‘‘If any man have two loaves, let him sell one and 1 some flowers of the white narcissus; for the one is food for the bo and the other is food for the soul.” The attacks by fanatical tribesmen upon the foreign settleme in Morocco, and the inability of the Moroccan government to furr protection have thrown upon Spain and France the duty of such j tection. Yet this is the question, ‘‘How can it be protected from w in, or from without. Morocco is a relic of medievalism in the dawi the twentieth century. Politically speaking, it is a state hopele; out of joint with the spirit of the times and its environment, and it longer fulfills the primary duties of a state. The situation is i worthy careful study.”—The Forum. The Tarentine Gulf, the instep of the Italian boot, is the bn place of oyster culture. The shores are dotted with oyster pa which are made by driving four posts into the bottom of the Gulf ; connecting them by wire grass ropes. From the ropes bundles of h; THe Acorn [ | 3l] boughs are suspended, and to these boughs the oyster spawn attach themselves. These dangle in the water, and sway back and forth with the tide. In this way, the oysters get all the floating food but escape the seamen. After about two years and a half, the Tarentine oyster is ready for market. A rope fourteen feet long will rear about 2000 oysters.—4 ‘ Chronicle. ’ ’ Prof. James says, “An education is to help you to know a good man when you see him.’’ If this is true, then our great universities, and colleges have failed in what they should teach. There are men who have endowed both Yale, and Harvard, who have been honored in church and university and who have exhibited a character status which differs in no way except in degree, from that of the common thieves and burglars which fill the jails. The young men who go to these colleges are taught to honor men who have made their money dis- honestly even taking from widows, and orphans. It is no wonder there are so many dishonest men. Let college men have for their ideals another type than this given, and the country will better itself. —4 ‘ Literary Digest.' The United States has been put to great expense in trying to get rid of the water hyacinth. This plant with its broad green leaves, and beautiful flowers, has clogged up the water ways in southeastern United States to such an extent that ships cannot get through. It is claimed that in one place a house-wife threw a few plants in the river, and soon they were so numerous, they had to be dredged out. It is strange that so beautiful a flower should become such a pest. The new British Prime Minister, Herbert Henry Asquith who is to succeed Sir Henry Bannerman appears to be a very different person from his genial, good-natured, and extremely popular predecessor; one paper says “He is too unsympathetic to please the crowd, and too stiff to get on with his colleagues. Many may be his virtues, but personal magnetism is not one of them. He is slight, of medium height, hale, cold, and distinguished looking. On the whole his attitude is reversed and haughty.”—“Literary Digest.” A large group of the singular excavations known as dene-holes was recently discovered in the forest between Woolwich and Erith, England. Two of the holes have been explored. Each possess a circu- 32 | [The Acorn lar shaft about three feet in diameter, with holes in the sides appar intended for the support of ladders.

COMPENSATION I saw him across the dingy street— A little old cobbler, lame with a hump, Yet his whistle came to me clear and sweet As he stitched away at a dancing pump. Well some of us limp, while others dance There’s none of life’s pleasures without alloy. Let us thank heaven, then, for the chance To whistle, while mending the shoe of joy. COMMON-SENSE The question, “What is most necessary to success in life?” common and very important one. Though it has been ansv variously, yet it seems to me that while we may desire to add ( things, the element of common-sense is, next to a true conceptit religion and its duties, most essential. The great psychologist, Dr. Reid says, “In common langi sense implies judgment; good sense is good judgment; nonsense is sntly fifty 1 ex- lam- This been rlier. bvi- st to is a rered rther jn of jage, what ■I mmm | The Acorn | [ 33 is contrary to judgment. Common sense is that degree of judgment that is common to all men.” As a business proposition, common-sense expresses itself in native prudence, natural practical intelligence, tact in behavior, mother wit, acuteness in the observation of character. This means that while the element common-sense may aid us greatly in acquiring wealth, it will also dictate to us the means of using the same. It will help us not to dream of fortunes but to work for them. “A certain truth, which many buy too dear: Something there is more needful than expense, And something precious even to taste—’tis sense. Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven.”—Pope. If Pope is right, and if common-sense is so needful, how fortu- nate it is that some portion of it is bestowed upon us all at the beginning and that the means of cultivating it are open to us all, whether we be rich or poor, strong or feeble! Other things being equal, the young man whose parents have taught him to exercise his judgment and to apply to all his actions the element of common-sense, is far ahead of the young man who has not developed himself along this important line. For instance, the young man comes home from school almost disheartened and declares that he can see no sense in his arithmetic, or it may be in his grammar, and de- clares that by the consent of his father, he will drop the nuisance of a subject and take up something else. But his father encourages him by arousing his common-sense. “I learned those lessons once, so did your mother and your teacher. The boys last year learned this, and so will many in the future, therefoie, it is not impossible, for it has been done. You need this lesson so that you may be prepared to learn that of tomorrow. Today’s work is the foundation for that of tomorrow, and of next week. These lessons are steps of the ladder of learning by which you climb to usefulness and respectable manhood.” Thus the boy is taught self-reliance and to apply sober judgment to all his affairs. Many young students, who have attended school for a few years and have attained some standing in the intellectual world, return home and refuse to receive the advice and counsel of their parents—thus under valuing their parents’ experience. These young people have learned to parse a complex sentence, or to extract a cube root and they think they know everything. They forget that the greater part of this life is not confined within the four walls of the school room, but is rather in the field, the shop—the practical activities of life. While [34 [ | The Acorn their parents may not have had the opportunities for acquiring the education that they have so graciously provided for their children yet, because of the parents’ greater and more varied experiences they may yet be competent to teach those of less experience, thougl perhaps of greater theroetical knowledge, many things relating to th practical affairs of life, and to give wise and prudent counsel regarding the choosing of companions, the kind of books to read, etc. Much of the middle-life poverty and misery might easily be avert ed, if the young would but listen to the dictates of their parent regarding to the practice of industry and economy, instead of feelin; that a scorn of control will make them wise and honorable; tha selfishness will make them useful, and that a misapprehension of wha they can do, will make them happy. In short, if all would reduc their actions to a common-sense basis, there would be less crime less poverty; more of true Christianity and consequently more happi ness. —C. J. Jensen. MUSIC NOTES The school choir, of eighty-five voices has in preparation tY beautiful cantata “Esther” by Wm. B. Bradbury. The subject is taken from the Bible and clings very closely to tY history of Queen Esther in that sacred book. The solos, conce: numbers, and choruses all seek for and reach an ultimate end whic gives to the hearer that feeling of repose so necessary in a work of th character. Arrangements will probably be made to render “Esther” as a pa of Commencement exercises, with orchestra and organ accompanimen Following is a synopsis of “the cantata:” Esther was bom in Persia five hundred years before Christ. Beii an orphan from infancy, she was adopted by her uncle, Mordecai, wh recognizing her great natural beauty, trained her in the accomplis ment of highest womanhood. She was chosen by the King of tl Realm to be his wife and Queen. She did not disclose her nationalit THe Acorn 11 351 Hainan was Premier and favorite of the King. Haman hated Morde- cai because he would not respect him as the King had commanded. He did not know Mordecai’s relation to the Queen and to be revenged, he obtained a decree to destroy all the Jews in the provinces. Mordecai discovered the plot and charged the Queen to petition the King for the safety of her people, which she did at the peril of her life, on account of the law that no one shall go unto the King unbidden. The King heard her petition, and Haman was defeated. Haman had prepared a gallows for Mordecai and an attendant informed the King of the fact. The King ordered Haman to be hanged from it and pro- claimed Mordecai Premier in his stead. After this there was great re- joicing among the people. The sight singing classes of the school have done excellent work this year. The importance of making sight singing a two year course has been fully demonstrated this season. Pupils then remain long enough to make the subject a part of their lives. The students who have taken this course under Prof. Ballantyne, appreciate what sight singing has done for them. During the entire school year, the teachers and students have taken much interest in the musical development of our school and we hope it will continue.

If she makes a success in these departments r The Acorn 11 37) moral and mental faculties are apt enough to make a success in any business of life. In order to obtain these ideals we all know that education must play the most important part. Our Arts and science department is the most practical part of school; and the homes of the future should be benefitted through this, as well as other branches of study. Chief Chancellor J. J. Tobias of the Chicago University of Law visited our school and was very pleased. He expressed his pleasure by offering, as a reward of merit, S25.00 for the best dress made in the Arts department, and also offered $25.00 for the best loaf of bread made by a domestic science girl. The Art needle work class has done some beautiful work. All kinds of drawn work, battenburg, point-lace, and embroidery, can be found in the cabinet of the art room.. The Domestic Science department has compiled and printed about two hundred recepies. They are bound in book-form and are ready for the public for $1.50. The first luncheon to be served, was given by the H. C. P. club to the ’07 and ’08 Basket Ball teams. Through the kindness of G. E. Browning, the domestic science girls gave the faculty a duck dinner in November. The Domestic Arts department is better equipped this year, than ever before. Through additional room and many other conveniences, the girls have been able to do much better work than last year. The Juniors gave a dainty luncheon to the Coalville basket ball team. The band boys have been playing praises to the Prep, girls ever since the fish dinner. The Arts and Science teachers were served a dinner by the Fresh- man girls, which was thoroughly appreciated. [38 | [The Ac orn All the students have enjoyed the “Punch”, which has been serve at our dances.—The domestic science girls made it. Through the support given us by many patrons, we have been ab! to accomplish more than we could have done otherwise, we wish t thank the following for their hearty support: “The Consolidate Wagon and Machine Co.” donated two very fine Stewart Range “Burton Bros. Implement Co.” gave a splendid “Jewel Range” an “Stevens Implement Co.” gave a most excellent “Buck’s”. “Hewlet Bros,” Mr Culley and “The B. H. Townsend Co.” have contributed e: tracts and spices. We assure these friends that the many homes tha are represented in our department, will well remember them. It is hoped that next year these departments will be even bett than this. Through hard work and help from our patrons they ha's grown from tiny seeds to flowers. If, next year, they arc nourishe as they have been this year the flowers will continue to bloom, ar through them many homes be beautified. H. C. P.

I The Acorn 11 39] MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT This is the first year anything has been done at shop work in this institution, and we are pleased to announce, through the medium of the Acorn, that nearly eighty young men have availed themselves of the splendid opportunity this department affords. At the beginning of the school year, every bench was in use all the time. This time of the year, however, some of the boys have discon- tinued their school work to engage in agricultural pursuits. Considering the fact that all of our boys are in this department for the first time, we have made remarkable progress; for we have not only made many exercises consisting of joints of many kinds and shapes (each one having its purpose), but have made tables, chairs, desks, music cabinets, jardiner stands, cabinet lamps, ironing boards, plate racks, and bread boards, and in addition to these we have put up par- titions, made door frames, hung the doors and put on the locks, built fences and have done much repair work about our buildings and grounds. The boys have been respectful to their instructor, attentive to shop discipline, and much interested in their work. Our shop is well lighted, heated and ventilated. Our tools are new and of the very best quality. Our benches we have made our- selves and, while they are not of the most expensive design, they are well suited to our purpose, and are such as the boys can make and use at home. We think this part of our Academy work will grow more popular each year, and believe the time is very near at hand when parents throughout the country will patronize such schools as have facilities for teaching their boys to do as well as to know; for if the hand as well as the mind is trained while in school, our boys will have that practical experience they necessarily must possess to be of much service to their employes. —W. O. Ridges, Instructor. v 140 | [The Acorn THE ROSEBUD SORORITY The members of the Rosebud Sorority met early in the year and elected the following officers: Lila Eccles, President, Norma Sears, Vice-President, Fawn Wright, Secretary, Veda Farley, Treasurer. During the first semester, some of Tennyson’s poems were dis- cussed and the last half has been given to the study of Scott’s“ Ivanhoe.” Although our enrollment was nearly doubled when the new study room plan was adopted, we have had some excellent meetings and enjoy having a room of our own. TO THE SORORITY GIRLS The Rose bud girls are fine, They do things every time. They do and overcome, All defects, one by one. They could not find a day, In which to give their dance. They did not weep and say, “We will not get a chance.” But then they tried again. It was hard I must confess. But were all happy when, They made a grand success. Base Ball Team mm (THe Acorn 11 411 ATHLETICS Our basket ball season closed with a marked improvement as con pared with previous years. We feel that next year the team will be able to compete with larger schools than it has this year. The students are to be com- mended for their willingness to aid the Athletic Association financially. But this is not the only way in which they ought to support the boys. Enthusiasm cannot be meas- ured by dollars and cents, and this is the support the boys lacked and what they most needed. Students when will you wake up ; We wish to express our apprecia- ti to the faculty for their support to this department of our school. The base ball team has done good work. They have added their strength toward making athletics a success. For the first time a Track team has been organized in our school. George Burton was chosen captain and the boys have done very well considering that it is their first effort. Success to this part of our athletics, may they ever improve and bring honor to the W. A. 42 11 The Acorn LOCALS Much credit is due the Acorn Staff for the able manner in which they have performed their various duties on the paper. They have made us appreciate even more than ever the value of the little Acorns that drop so regularly from the Academy cala. Since “great oaks from the little acorns grow,” let us feel assured that much good will result from the uplifting influence of our school paper. Strength and long life to the “ Acorn.” David O. McKay One of the students was so strongly impressed with Apostle Claw- son's story of Dante’s concetration of mind, that, next morning she sat on the door-step waiting for the car, and became so deeply interested in her book that the car passed by unobserved. “Do you keep cakes?” asked Becraft. “No, sir,” said Miss Ballard, “we sell ’em. How many do you want?” “ Did I say I wanted to buy?” replied Becraft as he walked out. The Athletic boys are crying for a shower bath in their room, yet when it rains they all go in.

Our dear old school, to thee we look with pride, We’re glad to know that we were trained by thee. Within thy sacred walls doth Truth abide, Eternal Truth, the Truth that makes us free. We know that in thy early childhood days, Stem poverty and want had sapped thy strength; And to those noble men give hearty praise, Whose fortitude did’st bring thee safe at length. Now thou art older and art stronger grown: More stalwart sons, more daughters pure and fair. Now thou hast ample room to call thine own, Reward of patient toil, and faith, and prayer. Those men of God, and women pure who’ve sought Within thy holy shades from year to year To plant the truth by action, word, and thought. Are held by every one of us most dear. Not only have they tought us worldly lore, That whets the intellect, and feeds the mind. But they have given to us vastly more: The Truth that art and science do not find. Dear School, thy mission here is but begun, Thy walls must ever spread, thy banners wave, Thy moral trophies show more victories won, For many thousands come for thee to save. —LeRoy E. Cowles, ’03. LOYALTY TO THE ALUMNI The members of the Alumni, are as a rule, loyal to their Alma Mater. It is the way they show their loyalty that is sometimes ques- tioned. Few, perhaps, who have already become members will see ) THe Acorn 11 47 this article, but some who will have the privilege in the future may read it. And after a few years contact with the world, they will appreciate the stand that it has taken. While writing I see before me the pictures of a score of young men, most of whom I have been bound to with a “David and Jonathan tie” —a tie that bound tighter and tighter as the opposition of a seemingly thankless world pulled on the ends of the bonds that held us. It seemed then that distance or time could never separate us in the thoughts and affections of each other. But the parting came amid heart felt revolutions and pledges. New associates filled the vacancies; and though we meet occasionally and enjoy a few moments of felicity, the meetings are usually accidental. We do not take the time nor make the effort we once thought would be so small a consideration in order to be with congenial spirits. It is the same with our high school experiences. Those days are among our happiest and most profitable, and we wonder why those that drank at the fountain before us so seldom come back for a refresh- ing draught. But it is only in accordance with natural consequences that we allow new interests to take the place of the old—it is as natural as for the harvest to follow the planting. Teachers sometimes complain because “parents don’t visit ithe school” and some argue that they are less interested in their children than in their young stock that are pastured some distance from home, and that they make frequent trips to see. I am inclined to take such a condition as a compliment, for it shows that people have more confi- dence in the teachers of their children than in the barb wire fence that incloses their colts and calves. The silent support may be more effective; for after all it is not the votes and the torch light procession that send a man to Congress. Now I hope that none who read this will agree with me to the ex- tent that they will never drop in to see the school or attend an Alumni Banquet or go with the crowd to Lagoon. Our school is truly like Pat's knife, the same as of old though often having a new blade and osac- sionally a new handle. If we do not miss seeing it too long we will re- cognize the knife; but we are proud to note that the knife is being en- larged with each change and that when a blade is renewed it is supplied with two of equal or superior quailty. The handle (the building) is being made capable of holding more, finer, and stronger blades; if we do not make frequent examinations it will grow out of our knowledge. • —Jos. G. Widdison,’03. |48 | [The Acorn A GLIMPSE OF HOLLAND In contemplating a trip through Holland, ghosts of long ago come unbidden before the mind. Flitting by, one sees young Oliver Gold- smith, knowing nothing of Dutch, but bent on teaching the Dutch English, returning from his fruitless efforts penniless, with a flute as his capital and but little more as his baggage. Close behind is Sir Joshua Reynolds, astonishing the Netherlander with his ear trumpet, and writing home delighted to Burke: “The face of the country is un- like anything else, the strength and straightness of the artificial roads often with double rows of trees which furnish in a point, the perse- verance of their industry and labor to form the dikes and preserve them in such perfect repair, are ideals which occur to every mind as truly sublime. Next comes John Quincy Adams, a youth who at thirteen was a student at the University of Leyden, at fourteen was secretary of the legation at St. Petersburg. Just behind him comes Washington Irving with his quick eye and polished pen noting his “Tales of a Traveler. Thackeray delighted with the country said, “I feel a Dutchman is a man and a brother.” There is an injunction against building on the sand, but in Holland every house has to be built on it. A whole coast line is held together by ropes of sand cemented together by the roots of unpretentious reed grass. By means of wind-mills the air is made to pay toll, and by its powers the sleeping water is pumped from where it is not wanted into running channels. The trees grow and the rivers flow just as they are wanted. Air, earth, and water are under control, and the result is Holland. At one time it was a mixture of land and water but by combating nature a noble people has created the fertile and productive home of a compact and prosperous commonwealth. During the sixteenth cen- tury she built dikes and contested with the sea for supremacy. In her struggle with Spain, she preferred to treat with the sea ather than with the Duke of Alva, and when no longer able to cope with his su- perior forces, they cut the dikes and flooded the provinces preferring to be drowned herself with the land of her creation, than to live upon soil outraged by the feet of foreign foes. It cost the inhabitants j uni ok basket Ball Team Slurtii Fttt | The Acorn ]Q3 horrible suffering but they won from Europe both religious and political freedom. Without science such a land would never have beheld the light of day. Babylon proudly boasted. “It is I who made the Euphrates.” But cultivation of its banks did not continue long. The genius of Holland can say, “It is I who made the Rhine, the Maas, and the land through which they flow.” Cultivation is not falling but growing with passing years. As the results of such work as the strengthning of defences, the pumping dry of lakes, the shore beds are covered by thrifty farmers. The building oi substantial roads and canals surpasses all other systems of public improvement unless it be our own forty thousand miles of railroad over mountains and across broad rivers and lakes. Talk of the Pyramids of Egypt and the Chinese wall as monuments of man’s skill and industryl They are mere warts, pimples on the surface of the country, neither useful nor ornamental, exhibiting neither great skill nor great goodness ini their designs of execution. The wall never answered the ignoble purpose for which it was built, but the dikes stand today a perfect net work over the land which they preserve. In this fair land one can visit places hallowed in days gone by. The City of Leyden hospitably opened its doors to the English Puritans, afterwards the Mayflower Pilgrims. Dordrecht is famous for having adjusted the religious differences between the Lutherans, the Calvi- nists, and the Armenians. At Ryswyk was signed in 1697 the treaty which made peace among England, France, Germany, Holland, and Spain. Sixteen years later Utrecht witnessed a similiar ceremony for England, Germany, Holland and Savoy. Everything in Holland is well kept. One would think, the rain which falls from Heaven is soap and water and that once a week the farms are swept and dusted for Sunday. Even the little bushes are afraid to stir when a breeze comes to play with them, lest they should rumple their leaves and be called untidy. In yet other fields are the Dutch great. Lovers of art should visit Holland as their painters are noted. Rembrant’s work is styled “Lost Art,” being so rich in coloring and light that no other artist has been able to reproduce it. 1692 marked the Artist's greatest triumph. He painted “The Night Watch” Amsterdam's pride and greatest treasure. The longings, if not the inspirations, of an artist come over one as he 50 | j The Acorn roams over the region round about Leyden, where a thousand years ago the sea damned the mouth of the Old Rhine with sand and the whole country between Leyden and Katwyk was changed into a swamp. This swamp is now called the Rhineland and is a smiling land of gardens and sound meadows. Through it still flows the Old Rhine, till it enters the desert region. Here the Dutch cut through the sand-hill and gave to the river its ancient exit to the sea. As a person approaches Holland, he sees a long narrow picture with its little dots and spots more methodical than accidental. By looking through a glass these dots of various shapes and sizes re- solve themselves into wind-mills, churches, steeples and chimney tops crowned with stork’s nests. Swinging gently around the “Hook” in a short time we are within the Hollowland. The first question is one of surprise. Is this the boasted river which circles through a part of France, forces its way across Belgium and gives to Rotterdam its importance as a sea port ? It is, and yet it is not. The Maas lacked a safe channel, so the Dutch engineers cut an artificial one, and by controlling the flow of water and by incessant dredging the requisite depth is maintained. The filling up of the chan- nel necessitates the raising of the banks, and thus, one glides along on water higher than the land round about. Near the “Hook” the inspector comes on board and goes through one’s baggage, and the cabalistic mark which he puts on each parcel is the formal welcome to Holland. News papers are brought on board and for once you do not want a morning paper, it is all Dutch to you. Henry Belnap,'0b.

The very atmosphere within these walls Inspires to righteous act, subdues the wrong; Foundation Building is the theme first taught, And daily practice tends to make us strong. Our ideals have been raised to loftier heights, Our vision trained to view the broader life, The beauty and the grandeur of God’s plan, Man’s love for man instead of greed and strife; Our minds have been unfolded, clearer thought Has made us see all beauty, love the truth, Distinguish good from evil, choose the good, And live to serve e’en yet while in our youth. Our life’s a structure, its foundation stones In youth are laid, if firm and solid, then May massive building rise with dome and tower, Its strength, its service seen and felt by men. Our Principal has labored day by day, To teach us how to lay each rock with care, To smooth each jagged edge, make weak parts strong So each foundation may be firm and fair. Our graduation means not stepping out But stepping upward, acting well life’s part.

MEDITATION O, Thought that now so swiftly flees, O’er shining pools and darkening leas, Take me with thee in thy flight, My soul seeks thy calm realms tonight! The stillness of the night was unbroken, except by the faint breeze that stirred the leaves gently. Dark clouds were to be seen with a few stars visible heie and there. A pale round moon peeped occassionally from behind a cloud at a small lone cottage, and illumined it with a weird light. We looked inside the cottage. Here the same gloomy still ness reigned, but instead of the gleam of the moon, which lighted the dark clouds outside, a fire from a large open grate cast a flickering light over every- thing. By its strange gleams we could get a fairly good look at the room. The floor was bare, the only furniture, a few broken chairs and a rickety old table. The walls were decorated with pictures of men and women, who, if we may judge by style of dress, lived in days gone by. The atmosphere of the whole room seemed to be one of gloom and sad- ness. Seated on a low rocker in front of the fire, his chin resting on one long thin hand, his dark eye fixed upon the dying embers was an old man. Long he sat there thinking, thinking O so deeply of his own • THe Acorn 11 531 wasted life, and if those thoughts could have been expressed these would have been the words: Could my life have been spent in a far better way, O listening angels will you tell ? will you say? Is there no redemption unto a soul lost, For a mind that has been in the night tempest tossed? 0 speak if there be in that region of light, A place where the heart can find hope and delight; A place where the wretched may find quiet peace, Where the weary may find a dull rest at the last. 1 confess that my life’s been too selfish by far, That my weak mind has tried my good wishes to mar. With regret I reflect of the lost days gone by, That bring tears to my eye, to my thin lips a sigh. O Time, would’st thou only fly backward with me, Could I ever regain what I’ve long lost to thee? Could I feel that if life were beginning again, That I could avoid its being all spent in vain? Wearily the old man arose from his chair and threw on the last piece of wood, then noiselessly he resumed his seat. Instead of gazing into the fire-light, he watched the shadows dance upon the wall like some wild spirits at play in the forest. Dimly he compared the sha- dow's to his own life, but he failed to see that even the shadows w'ere caused by a light! Shudderingly he drew the thin wrap more closely around him whispering as he did so, Shadow's haunt me night and day, Hope is fading fast away, Rise not before me, wasted life, Keener thou than sharpest knife. Too late thou com’st with thy tale of woe, To me thou’st been the greatest foe. Can I think of one good deed you say? Impossible fiend, away, away! But hold, one moment to reflect— Don’t leave my soul forever wrecked. O, yes, I drew one spirit back, |54 [ |The Acorn By pointing out the rightful track. That was many years ago, Before my wild oats I did sow. For credit there I cannot look, Its long since blotted from the book. The old man’s head sank to his breast. The tears trickled slowly down his withered cheeks. The shadow's grew deeper and thicker on the walls, and they came closer and closer around him, and hemmed him in. Suddenly he thought he heard a voice sweet as his mother’s when she used to sing him to sleep with a lullaby, saying, We have carefully looked your credits o’er, And although we vainly wish for more, The one lost sheep brought to the fold Will give you shelter from the cold. How happy the thought to the old man that he had been instru- mental in saving one soul! How sw'eet the wrords that gave him hope and new life! Yet why this sudden change? The room w as lighted as if by magic, the birds were singing outside. The shadows no longer chased each other around the walls—no shadow could ever dwell in so bright a place. The old man rubbed his eyes wondering at the strange feeling that had come over him. He looked at the fire to see if the light came from there, but already the last spark was dying out, and and as it did, he awoke, but in a brighter world.—Lillian Guthrie.

Students and teachers were all there. I did not say all worked, but all believed they worked, and really much was accomplished. On such occasions, the most important figure is the commander, who in the person of Principal McKendrick, put on an imposing front and did full justice to the title, giving orders and emphasizing them with frantic gestures. Students hustled to carry out these orders, making the dust fly, running on errands, falling over one another— anything to please Brother McKendrick. Brother Goddard, under pretext of an important appointment with the debating committee, got out of all work, but was ready for luncheon when it was served. Brother Richards started out well with good intentions and a shovel and a rake but his art being the correcting of themes and not being used to the harder walks of life, he gladly drop- ped his tools at the call of Brother Goddard to assist the perplexed debating team by scratching his head. Brother Bradford was busy giving the impression that he had done something. Brother Shurtliff did a few strokes when he wasn’t brush- ing his clothes or holding hands with the lady teachers. Sister Ballard (who follows logically and psychologically) and Sister Farr, were very busy preparing the luncheon that the girls had brought already prepared. Sister Larkin, surrounded by legions of fairies, armed with just plain rags and cakes of Bon Ami, succeeded very well in making the windows shine like glass. Brother Bailey worked the camera, taking snap shots every now and then, watching for artistic poses of students and teachers. Brother Jensen really did work, as demonstrated by the way he scrubbed his brow. Brother Ridges and Brother Cowles may have been there—in fact we know that they were there to lunch, and from the amount they ate, we feel sure they must have delivered some telling strokes some- where. Brother Neal, who was the only one dressed for the occasion made quite a hit. It was a question whether he was a surveyor or only a rough-rider, trying to look like President Roosevelt. At all events he was “Willie on the spot.” Brother Ballantyne, with hands in pockets, a smile on his hand- some face, walked calmly around, viewing what others were doing and THe Acorn | [ 59 seemingly approving of it, but no manual labor for him—No, he must be excused! for he is our voice, and not our ground cultivator.

Lucille was blessed with a sunny disposition as well as a pretty face and figure. She had a beautiful complexion, with large blue eyes and an abundance of golden hair. Mildred somewhat resembled Lucille in appearance. Her hair was of the same golden hue, but she had beautiful hazel eyes. Her disposition was very different from Lucille’s. She was jealous and easily tempted. Ralph Johnson, the Professor’s nephew, was a general favorite among the students of the College, especially among the girls. Al- though they would not admit it, the majority of them were envious of Lucille when Ralph accompanied her to the first school dance. Mil- dred especially was very jealous and resolved to make Ralph change his opinion of her if it were in her power. Mildred and Lucille were both in Professor Johnson’s algebra class. They had been having some difficulty in solving some of the problems. There were only a few who were able to work them. One morning the Professor told the students that he had a very important matter to speak upon. The students were all attention. “For a long time,” he began, “I have suspected that some of our students have been using a key book to our Algebra. You all know that it is against the rules of the school to use one. Last night I took the opportunity of satisfying myself as to whether my suspicions were correct or not, and now I am sorry to say that they were confirmed. I found the book in the desk of one whom I would have least suspected. We will now give that student a chance to speak and justify herself if she can. Miss Manners, have you anything to say?” The whole class was thunderstruck. In most of the faces there was a look of indignation, but on Mildred’s there was a look of triumph. “Now,” she thought, “I wonder what Ralph Johnson will think of you.” Lucille was too dazed to speak. She sat there as if she had been struck. She looked at the teacher a full minute before she stammered, “Professor Johnson, I am sure I don’t quite understand you. Do you mean to say that you found the key book in my desk?” [66 THe Acorn “I am very sorry to say so, Miss Manners, but I did.” “I hardly know what to say,” returned Lucille, “But I protest, I am innocent of ever having seen the book.” “I am sorry this thing has happened. I would never have thought it of you, but the evidence is so strong against you, that if you cannot give us sufficient proof of your innocence, we can do nothing but believe you guilty. Last night I looked in every desk and found the key. Un- less you have removed it, it is there yet. Will you look and see?” Lucille obeyed and found it on top of her other books. She was sure that the Professor must be mistaken until she found it and then she was too surprised and indignant to speak. She won- dered who had been low enough to use the book and place the blame on her. “Here it is, but I am sure I never put it there. I have never seen a key book before in my life,” she said, almost ready to cry from the humiliation of the affair. That night Lucille went home almost heart-broken. Some of the students had shunned her, but the most of them stood staunch in their belief that she was the victim of a contemptible trick. The next morning Ralph said “Gocd-morning” rather coldly. And when she greeted Mildred with her usual “good-morning” that haughty lady turned her back and walked away without speaking. That day in the class not a word was said about the affair. A week passed this way; most of the students were loyal to Lucille but the Professor seemed to believe that she was guilty of the offense. He felt very sorry that she had done such a thing; for she had always been an ideal student. One morning, when the class was discussing a problem, some one mentioned a key book. It was regretted as soon as it was said for every one thought of Lucille. The eyes of every one involuntarily turned toward her; and, when she saw them, it was more than she could bear and she broke down and cried bitterly. During that day Mildred asked Professor Johnson if she might speak to him and Lucille for a few minutes after school. When school was out, he asked Lucille to remain for a few minutes as Mildred wanted to speak to her. Lucille wondered what Mildred could want her for, because she had seemed to shun her; but she was soon to find out. “I have a confession to make to you,” began Mildred. She seemed very agitated and nearly ready to cry. “From the time we started to school you have favored Lucille. I was very jealous of her, for before THe Acorn j [ 67 j we had always been treated alike by everyone of our teachers. Just before the holidays I saw that Lucille was getting ahead of me in algebra. When my brother George came home from school, I asked him to give me an old key book which he used when he went to school here. He gave it to me and I used it after the holidays. After awhile I thought that you began to suspect that some of the students were using a key book. I wanted to get rid of it someway, and when I thought of it I decided this would be a good opportunity to get even with Lucille. So the night before you found the book, I slipped it into her desk, unobserved by anyone as we were passing out. I have not had one minute’s peace since I did it. Everytime any one looked at me I thought he was reading my secret. I could not look either of you in the eye for fear you would detect my guilt. Many times I have fully decided to get up before the class and confess all but when I thought of what everyone would think of me, my heart would fail me and I would put it off. In class this morning my better self prompted me to get up and confess all but when I thought of the humiliation of it, I could not do it.” Here she broke down and could go no farther. Lucille was crying by this time but the Professor looked very grave and stem. “Miss Smith,” he said, “I am more grieved than I can say to think that a student in this institution would lower herself enough to do such a contemptible thing.” “I know it was contemptible of me,” returned Mildred, “but it was all because of my jealous disposition. I have suffered a great deal more than you, Lucille, for you did not have youi conscience to battle with, being innocent of any sin.” “I think you have not suffered any more than you deserve.” Said the Professor sternly. “I am sorry that this has happened, spoke up Lucille, “but now it is all passed and I see no use of bothering about it.” “There is no use of trying to justify myself; and I suppose there is not much use of begging your pardon. I could hardly expect you to forgive me for treating you so unjustly.” “I do forgive you, Mildred,” said Lucille, “I would much rather be your friend than your enemy. Hereafter let us be good friends and forget that anything has ever come between us.” “Oh, Lucille, if I were only as kind and forgiving as you, I would give all I possess; but hereafter I am going to follow your example.”— Lelia Taylor, ’ll.

And on the other end of the argument where is the gain to the individual or business man to have such looking printing misrepresent him—“tatileing” wrong impressions altogether ? We would find greater glory in doing the thing more uncom- monly done. The result is a distinctiveness that wins atten- tion and approval. New faces for the formal grade of work are being set in the cases and you can depend on getting it done in the approved modem style j likewise if you’re a merchant and require office stationery or your business needs a little tonic in the form of unique or catchy advertising literature.
