Thy rugged peaks and lofty towering mountains O’er which bright gossamer clouds forever roam, Thy sun-kissed vales with cool refreshing fountains, Thrice blest thou art in truth my mountain home. The cool refreshing breeze from yon deep canyon O’er filled with odorous breath of sage and pine, Clear sparkling rivulets where ’een the pignon Drops down into thy glittering watery mine. In wastes of wild uncouth and rolling hillside The sego lilies raise their modest heads, And happy nooks and winding, twisting roadsides Are filled with sunflowers and with mustard beds. O’er fields where waste and desolation hovered Is waving now bright golden tasseled corn, And rugged slopes with rocks and cactus covered, Rich fruits and golden harvests now adorn. The azure canopy of blue above us Looks down upon the Great Salt Sea below. The Lord of Day throws his bright sheen around us, And turns its waters to a golden glow. All honor to those brave and hopeful pilgrims Who left homes, happiness and dearest friends, With liberty and love of God their emblems Traversed the weary waste to western sands. They knew not what the future was before them, But longingly to heaven turned their eyes, And God his richest portion showered upon them— Their desert drear became a paradise. Frances M.

Softly the gray shadows of twilight came creeping, creeping over the deep blue ocean, over the land, and up the distant mountain side, leaving the crest illumined for a few seconds in almost blinding brightness. Then suddenly as if by magic, this light, too, dis- appeared, the scarlet hue gave place to a hue of inky blackness, and silent night reigned supreme, her stillness broken only by the wind as it shrieked through the riggings of the vessel, which lay anchored in the harbor. “Do you think it safe to venture out tonight, Captain?” asked Louis Lorimer pausing at the cabin-door. Safe!” Well I suppose so. Here we have been delayed four hours already, because of that other mishap. I can’t lose any more time, for I promised to be at Promotory Point by noon tomorrow, and old Captain Muller never breaks his word.” “Even if he should break his neck,” laughed Louis, push- ing his cap farther back on his head. Then assuming a more serious air, he continued, “but I thought the sky looked like a storm and-------.” “O, yes, perhaps, but nothing serious. Didn’t you see the red sun-set? That’s a sure sign of a fair day tomorrow.” Louis retraced his steps back to the deck, where a young man, about his own age, sat in an invalid chair, his eyes fixed upon space. “Well, Bob, what are you thinking about?” asked Louis lightly as he sank into a chair beside his companion. “Are you sorry to leave the scenes of your childhood?” “Sorry?” repeated Bob listlessly, “what for?” “When I came up just now, I thought you had rather a sorrowful expression on your face,” returned Louis quiet- ly. “Perhaps it was only fancy.” “Perhaps,” murmured Bob evasively, shading his pale face with one thin hand as though he feared that the glim- mering light from the moon would reveal his thoughts. Louis was silent for a few minutes, watching the dark clouds gathering in the west. THE ACORN 3 “I told Captain Muller that a storm was brewing, and that we oughtn’t to set sail tonight,” he said suddenly. “Do you see how black the sky is becoming, Bob?” “Yes, I have been watching the sky all day, and I thought how very much like my own life it is,” said Bob, with a passionate bitterness in his voice. Louis glanced at him curiously, and catching the look, Bob continued, “Let me paint a picture for you Lou—you know I am somewhat of an artist. Here it is. I see a youth starting out on life’s road with everything before him—wealth, influence, friends. In college, there are none so popular as he, both with the students and the professors. Now the clouds begin to gather! His father invests his money in a big enterprise and finds—too late!—that it is a losing game. This knowledge he keeps from his son, thinking to let him finish school first, but fate decides differently. Seven weeks before commencement, a vast crowd assembled on the campus to witness the baseball game which will decide the league championship of the two rival colleges. Both sides are anxious to win, and pennants of crimson and of gold flutter in the air. I see only one group in the crowd, and that consists of perhaps a dozen young people, all loyal to the crimson. All the players are on the ground, except the Captain, and he suddenly makes his appearance amidst the roars of applause from the audience. He turns to the group of young people, waves his crimson banded cap as a sign of victory, and then enters the game with such enthusiasm that his followers catch the spirit and play as they never have before. The game is half over, and by the skilful outcurves of the pitcher, the victory is certainly on the Crimson side when— and here’s the climax Louis—the Captain makes a dash for third base, stumbles, falls, and—all is darkness. Do you recog- nize the picture?” Bob held cut a paper as he spoke, and by the fitful rays of the pale moon, which had just emerged from behind a cloud, Louis saw a curious combination of sunrise, sunset and dark, lowering clouds. “What a queer idea, Bob,” said Louis with a short laugh. “It would have been more real if you had made the sunshine predominate the clouds.” 4 THE ACORN “No, it wouldn’t,” said Bob decidedly, “a single failure has blighted my whole life.” “0, come Cousin, cheer up,” exclaimed Louis encourag- ingly. You know it is not nearly so bad as all that. Why failures sometimes make—” “Don’t begin to preach Professor Spruce to me,” inter- rupted Bob, raising his thin hand with a despairing gesture. “I know, and you know, that failures are blockades to success. That kind of tale sounds all right in literature, but it faces you in life; it is a different proposition. You, although your pros- pects were not so fair at first, have everything before you now and 160 credits besides, while I have nothing.” “What about Nona Everett?” asked Louis teasingly. “We will not discuss—Miss Everett,” murmured Bob coldly. “We were speaking about failures.” “But you’re so unreasonable Bob. Now if I had been hurt—” “Yes, how much better it would have been if it had been you instead of me.” Then he added hurriedly, “Not that I want to be selfish, Lou, but you are so light hearted, and always look on the bright side of everything. “I wish it had been me,” said Louis unhesitatingly. “There’s no hope for me now,” continued Bob recklessly. “I shall go to grandma’s little hovel in that island wilderness and die a hermit, for if ever I get well—and I hope I don’t— I’ll never go back to the city and try to keep up appearances. It would simply kill me. Father says perhaps they could man- age to exist on the money he has left, for mother declares she’ll never live in the country, while I would rather live on codfish, corn bread, salt breezes and solitude than to live there now, although I suppose Grandma will drive me mad with her ever- lasting knitting.” “Well, I’ll admit that grandma don’t have elaborate ban- quets and garden parties and does an awful lot of knitting, but there’s no better woman living, and I ought to know for Susie and I have lived with her ever since we were tiny children,” ex- claimed Louis with sudden spirit. “We would never have been THE ACORN 5 able to attend college, if it hadn’t been for her self-sacrificing help.” “0, that’s the way you look at it. Mother says she’s a regular old miser. But look Louis, the storm is on us.” Yes, the storm so closely connected with the storms of hu- man life was already upon them. Par in the distance could be heard the faint peels of rumbling thunder, which came nearer and nearer and then broke with a terrific crash, followed by the mingling of blinding rain and wind, with the occasional flashes of lightning which illuminated the dark troubled waters. “Mollie, here’s a letter from Susie,” said Grandpa Lori- mer, coming slowly into the room, where his wife sat knitting. Bob, pale and spiritless, was sitting by the window, tapping out a tune on the pane, and did not hear his grandmother until she asked him twice if he would read the letter. “I can’t see as good as I uster, lad,” explained Mrs. Lorimer, seeing the sullen look on Bob’s face as she handed him the letter. “No wonder with that counfounded knitting always before your eyes,” thought Bob. Aloud, he read: Dear Grandma and Grandpa: “We were so sorry that you couldn’t come to com- mencement exercises, for if ever I was proud of my brother it was last night. His valedictory address was simply grand. The whole house arose in one mighty applause when he had finished, and the flowers show- ered on him!— Well, I verily believe that every hot- house in town was robbed for the occasion, and grand- ma,—would you believe it?—Louis walked home with _____yy Bob paused, and grandma looked up from her work and murmured, “Go on, lad.” “With beautiful Nona Everett, and left me to come home with Tony Walsh.” Aunt Isabel was there, dressed in her stillest silk and paste diamonds (they must have been paste, for Nona says they have lost all their money). It is a 6 THE ACORN wonder that Bob is as good as what he is, having such a mother! How is Bob any way, and does he like cod- fish as well as ever; Don’t, by any means, let him see this letter. Well, grandma, I’ll not be home for about two weeks, for Nona wants me to go home with her for a visit; my light has burned so low that I can’t see the paper and so au revoir. Sue. As soon as the letter was finished, Bob grabbed his cap, and left the room. He would not stop, although he heard his grandmother say distinctly, “Poor Bob.” Whither he was go- ing, he knew not or cared. The thought uppermost in his mind was to get away from everything. Nothing mattered much now. Suddenly he stumbled over something, and looking down he saw the steps of the village church. Completely exhausted, he sank down on them, and covered his face with his hands. “Why, Mr. Lorimer, however did you walk so far, and what are you doing?” asked a child’s clear voice, and glancing up Bob saw the little girl he had met several times by the sea- shore in his evening walk. “I don’t know how I walked so far, and I don’t know what I am doing,” said Bob. The girl opened her blue eyes in astonishment, and then laughed. “Well, since you don’t know what you are doing, suppose you come into the church, and hear me rehearse the song I am going to sing Sunday,” she said. “I haven’t been in church for so long that I wouldn’t know how to act.” “The more reason you should go in now and learn, when there’s nobody to see you ’cept the organist and me.” With a sudden feeling of awe, Bob sank into the seat and heard as in a dream the words of the song: “The Lord is my Shepherd, No want shall I know, Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear, THE ACORN 7 Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay, No harm can befall with my Comforter near.” The music died away with a low, sweet moan, and Clare stood beside Bob asking him if he liked the song. “Like it! Why I thought the angels were singing me back to life,said Bob with deep emotion. “I suppose you’ll come to meeting now, won’t you! You know I have asked you so many times. “Yes, I’ll come,” said Bob, and sure enough the next Sun- day he was sitting beside his grandparents in the church. True he never gave his strict attention to the preaching, but when Clare sung, no word escaped him. No one can repent all at once. Bob struggled long and earnestly to conquer his inner self, and when he felt that at last he had succeeded, he read the announcement of the marriage of Nona Everett and Louis Lorimer. All the old bitterness and rebellion returned for a time, but the words of the song came back with double meaning, and he conquered the second time. He still continues to live with his grandma, although Ills parents recovered their wealth and his mother continually writes: “T don’t see why you don’t come home, Bob. You must like cod-fish better than you thought you would. I’m sure you don’t get your plebian ideas from me.” Lillian Guthrie, ’09. rijr vl corn PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE WEBER ACADEMY SIX TIMES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

A great amount of hard work lias been done both on the paper and in our efforts to fit up permanent head- quarters. Thanks to the loyal support of the business men of Ogden; we have been able to see our way clear to the furnish- ing of a cosy office in the basement where ail Acorn business is carried on. We hope that now, simply because school is over that the students will not cease to patronize The Acorn ad- vertisers. We are also grateful to the students and faculty for their support in numerous ways. Debating Team Debating Trophy Won by the Class of 1911 DEBATERS—LAURENCE W. RICHARDS, WM. |. CR1TCHLOW, JR., I.EONE ENGSTROM (ALTERNATE) THE ACORN 9 It is with the greatest sorrow even though it may be a selfish one that we again think of the time when we lost one of our best and dearest teachers, Professor Mills. Although we know that he is still in this city where his inspiring in- fluence will have a wider field to cover, we are nevertheless loathe to think that he has left this institution. The Acorn staff together with the students of the Weber Academy wish him the most complete success in all his future labors, and most especially in the work of upbuilding the educational system of this city. “Make every experience and mistake a new stepping stone.” Get a firm grasp on the life proposition; do not take hold of life with the tips of the finger, never getting down where efficiency and power dwell. Grasp with that grip and tenacity of purpose and vigor of determination which do things worth while. Train yourself to use your ability, not daring to squander it. When I am going anywhere I don’t wait for a star; I hitch my cart to anything going my way.” The Acorn staff wishes to thank the students for the sup- port they have given us in our endeavors to keep up the ex- cellent standing of our school through its organ, the school paper. We have had the support of the loyal students, at least, and if our papers have not fulfilled their purpose, despite our efforts, we hope we have not lessened its standard. With the aid of the entire student body the strong new staff will make next year’s paper a great success. Let each one of us give it our hearty support. 10 THE ACORN “The whole face puts on mourning for the death of self respect.” “Doing the lower when the higher is possible constitutes one of the greatest tragedies of human life.” ILtttuve Coutst Our knowledge and development comes through experience. From the cradle to the grave it is almost a continuous contact with environment. Through the senses this objective world acts upon and changes us. Thus we become educated. Being endowed with an imagination, we are not limited to actual experience, but we can picture the experiences of others and thus learn many of the most vital lessons of life. These images may be gained through books or they may be acquired more vividly by lectures. When students meet with the class of men who appear in our lecture course they come in contact with men of vast experience and men who have turned that experience to account, and men who can draw such vivid pic- tures of life that the students receive impressions, the influence of which can never be measured. We can not come in close contact with such men as Russell H. Conwell, S. H. Clark, Jacob A. Riis and Sylvester A. Long without being raised to a much higher plane intellectually, mor- ally and spiritually. The following was our course for last year: Frederick E. Hopkins—Golden Fleece. Opie Read—“Something I Haven’t Given Before.” Jacob A. Riis—Battle With the Slum. Whitney Bros.—Male Quartette. Sylvester A. Long—Lightening and Toothpicks. Russell H. Conweli—Acres of Diamonds. Montaville Flowers—Christmas Carol. George Gilbert Bancroft—“Hoodoos.” THE ACORN 11 S. H. Clark—Silas Marner. Les Miserables. A Servant in the House. Brand. The committee has already signed contract for the follow- ing talent for next year: Ex-Governor Robert L. (Bob) Taylor. The New Zealanders. Whitney Bros. Quartette. De Witt Miller. Leland T. Powers. Laurant (Magician). Edward P. Elliott. Thomas E. Green. The Whitney Bros, made a great “hit” last year and Thomas E. Green is well remembered for his strong lectures given on the course three years ago. The committee has been trying for years to get Bob Taylor, who is considered by many people to be the most fascinating lecturer America has ever known. Leland T. Powers has also long been sought after by the Ogden public. ITe is recognized as the “top notcher” in dramatic reading. Several other numbers will be secured later and the school will follow its motto, “Each year let the course grow stronger.” This year the Academy entered the High School Debating League to compete for the state championship. Each class had its own teams and debates, followed by inter-class debates, from which teams the school team was chosen. This team, composed of Lawrence Richards, Fred Jensen, Alma Winters and Wm. Critchlow, represented the Academy at Brigham on March 19, 1909, debating on the proposition: Resolved, That the United States should permanently retain the Philippines. The Acad- emy team represented the negative side of the question, and won the debate from the Brigham High School, which was rep- 12 THE ACORN resented by an exceptionally strong team. On April 16, 1909, the Eureka High School team, three girls, and the principal, their coach, were the visiting team here in Ogden, and debated the same question. The Eureka team won the decision, and thus left the Academy out of the next preliminary and the final debate, but left them in the field with an exceptionally bright prospect for next year. One of the University men, a judge of the Brigham debate, paid the boys the high compliment of asking them to give him their word that when they had finished high school they would enter the University with the purpose of debating on the University teams. The Academy is justly proud of its debaters, and hopeful of next year’s outcome. m. e. n iiotc During the past school year, the II. C. P. Club has been studying the works of our standard authors. The first semester we studied Alice Carey’s poems and George Elliot’s famous 4‘Middle March.” The last sem- ester we have enjoyed a series of lectures on “Health,” given by Miss Zina Larkin and have taken up Owen Meredith’s poem, “Lucile.” In connection with our literary work we have had occa- sional dinner parties in our club room. On December 17 the girls entertained the basketball boys and Coach Harker at a Christmas tree party. One of the most enjoyable events of the season was a ban- quet given February 11 to the faculty, the basketball boys of Brigham City High School and of the Weber Academy. The banquet was served under the able direction of Miss Eva Farr. The Domestic Arts department and the tables were dec- orated in red and white and the color scheme harmonized throughout the courses. Sororttjf If otea Early in the year the Rosebud girls met and elected the following officers: President, Norma Sears; vice-president, Minnie Jensen; secretary, Bea Brewer; treasurer, Nell Wilson. THE ACORN 13 The following outline was prepared for the meetings in each month: First Tuesday, literary session; second Tuesday, lecture; third Tuesday, etiquette; fourth Tuesday, magazine review. We have had very interesting lectures from Mrs. J. M. Morrell, Mrs. D. R. Shurtliff and Miss Ivy Cleghorn. On the evening of December 18 the club gave a leap year party. Of course it was voted by all present to be the social event of the season. The girls who were present certainly de- serve credit for the way they treated the boys. Clara Schumann was the daughter of Frederick Wieck, and was born in Leipsic, September 13, 1819, and died at Frankfort, May 20, 1896. She studied under her father and it was not long before her ability manifested itself. In 1828 Clara Wieck (Veek) made her first appearance in public at a Gewandhaus concert, playing the F minor concerto of Chopin. Her aston- ishing skill and interpretative insight won her many distin- guished friends, among them being the aged Goethe, whom she met at Weimar. She then toured Europe and achieved enor- mous success, especially in Paris, where her genius won her such friends as Mendelssohn, Heyerber, Chopin and Kalkbren- ner. In 1837 she was made imperial pianiste, and excited the admiring envy of Liszt, not yet come to his own. In 1840 she married Robert Schumann, in spite of active opposition on the part of her father. The happiness of their union and the devo- tion she showed to her husband made one of the most beautiful romances in the history of music. Schumann ,s nervous system broke down at Dusseldorf and subsequent insanity, which cul- minated in his death, seemed only to increase her devotion to him. After his death Clara Schumann resumed her concert career, until 1878, when she became a teacher of piano at Dr. 14 THE Vj ACORN Hock’s conservatory, Frankfort. It is impossible to estimate the value of the work she did in popularizing Schumann’s music. During this school year we have been attended by the best choir that has ever been known in the history of the institution and we know their work has helped to build up the standard of our school and is appreciated by each member of the faculty and the entire student body. The beautiful selections which they have rendered each morning in chapel have added greatly to the interest of the devotional spirit. One hundred select voices have now in preparation the 4Feast of Adonis,” a beautiful cantata by Adolf Jensen, which is to be rendered at the commencement exercises. The orches- tration and orchestra parts to this cantata have been received and steady rehearsals are taking place in which both organiza- tions are working faithfully. Aside from the orchestra, the choir will be accompanied by Miss Alberta Wright, who has done splendid work this year in her responsible position as choir organist. Our new $450 organ was presented to the school free of cost by the Glen Brothers of Ogden. The student body will please remember this in making their musical purchases. The sight singing classes, under the direction of Prof. Bal- lantyne, have been very successful this year. The students are given a two-year course, which enables them to secure sufficient mastery of the subject to make its service practical in their lives. They are given practice in reading two-part compositions at sight. In all the history of this institution no organization has progressed in such a marked degree as this year’s band. Al- though they have been working under disadvantage they have made splendid headway. This is the first year that the boys has visited the outside settlements. Trips have been made to Plain City, Huntsville and Hooper, where musical entertainments were given. A con- cert was given in our own hall, at which time the splendid work of the boys was exhibited. A great deal of pleasure as well as profitable experience has been gained from these concerts. THE ACORN 15 On March 5 a dance was given by the organization, which by the help of the student body was a decided success. Prof. Nichols has under his care some small boys who are working hard on their clarinets, hoping to join the band next year. With the conscientious work of each member during this summer and the increase in numbers next fall they expect to tour the whole state. The school as a body, as well as each member of the band, certainly appreciate the effort that Prof. Nichols has put forth to make this band such a success.

On March — the Weber bunch departed on the celebrated Ogden and Salt Lake Railway for Salt Lake City to play the last game of the series. They were a cheerful crowd, about two hundred strong, flying the many pennants of the good old school. The game began at 9 o’clock with great interest manifest 6y the spectators. The cheers rang out with enthusiasm, but the Granite boys played hard—they had to. At the end of the first half the score was close, Granite being in the lead by one basket. THE ACORN 19 The second half was delayed through fouls and disputes, but the players made things hum. The falls, fights and swift passes made everyone crane his neck. The score was coming up, but the time was short or the victory would have been ours. It was claimed by several basketball experts to be the fastest game of the season, barring none. It was also conceded that our boys played fastest and showed the best team work (as is shown by the fact that they made more baskets), but luck seemed to be against them in the matter of foul pitching. The students are to be commended in the manner in which they supported their team, and the team for the way they took their defeat. The Granite team had to meet the Lehi team on the Friday and Saturday following our game, to play for the state cham- pionship. On the night of the first tryout, Granite played well and succeeded in scaring Lehi a little. The systematic playing of the southern boys aided much and they won by three points. The next day Granite lost heart and the victory again fell to Lehi. This gave them the state championship without losing a game in the series. Congratulations are extended to both Granite and Lehi for their successes. INDOOR TRACK MEET. Before the indoor track meet held at the Armory, March 26, Weber said little as to what they would do, but they were sawing wood never the less. In looking over the daily papers a few days before, one would hardly have known that Weber Academy occupied a position on the map, but the night of the meet it was all Weber. They won first and second places on the high jump, first and second on the shot-put, first, second and third on the pole vault, first and third on the broad jump and in the wrestling they won first and second place. In fact they made more points than all the other contestants combined. The entrees were as follows: Ogden High School, School for the Deaf, State Industrial, one company of the guards, and the Weber Academy. 20 THE ijf ACORN SALT LAKE TOURNAMENT. At the state wrestling tournament held at the Y. M. C. A. March 27, the Weber Academy took two first places and one second with only three entrees. This is a remarkable showing when you consider the numerous entrees from other schools and all over the state. Two firsts out of a possible five is not bad. THE INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET. This event was held at the Fair grounds on Friday, April 16. It consisted of tryouts of our several classes in track work. The Seniors led in the contest. They took first, second or third places in the following: SENIOR. First and second—One hundred-yard dash and pole vault. Second and Third—One-half mile. First and third—High jump and broad jump. First—Shot-put. JUNIORS. Second—High jump and shot-put. Third—One hundred-yard dash and pole vault. Second and third—One mile. SOPHOMORE. First—2:20. Third—One hundred-yard dash. First—4:40. Third—Shot-put. FRESHMEN. First and third—One mile. Third—4:40. First—One mile. Second and third—2:20. Second—Broad jump. THE ACORN 21 Sflttttttif ITotea The Alumni Dramatic Club presented the play, “Pygmalion and Galatea” in Hooper, Huntsville and the Fifth and Second wards of Ogden. They all took their parts in a very creditable manner. Moroni Olsen as Pygmalion and Minnie Brown as Galatea certainly did excellent work. Miss Cleghorn deserves thanks for the time and work that she spent in directing the play. Clyde Lindsay, 04, is on his way home from a three-years’ mission to Germany.

In some moments when some of us let our appetites for liquors which have been brought about by some previous indulgence get the best of us, we think that in the glass we shall find our best pleasure. Others of us 22 THE yf ACORN in times of hilarity have an idea that “in getting out with the crowd” to visit a carnival we shall obtain the greatest amount of joy. While most of us in more serious moments think that true happiness comes only by doing good. Besides these ways, people have many other ideas about how and where one can gain pleasure in this life. Examples from the three mentioned, though will serve to show which is the true happiness, the happiness of the heart, the happiness that is intended for us by our Father in Heaven. The people of some of the European countries take great delight in their carnivals, especially at New Year’s. They dress up in about all the different costumes used by our circus clowns and go out to “take in” the carnival which consists of moving picture shows, merry-go-rounds of different kinds, trained per- forming; shooting galleries with their miniature wild animals going back and forth in little flag forests and fowls suspended by rods flying throuh the air-; and palaces of strength where ex- cellent athletes go through different feats of strength and wrestlers meet all comers. The people at these carnivals have a very boisterous time, throwing confetti, playing tricks on one another and enjoying themselves in the different places of amusement until long after midnight. Everybody seems to enjoy themselves, but when they do go home and go to bed, they wake up the next morning with the pleasures gone, not to return again until they repeat it the next year. The masquerade ball of the French people furnishes the example of pleasure by the liquor route. The couples dressed up and masked in various pretty costumes go to the ball with the intention of staying there until it is out, about 5 o’clock the next morning, and having a time. About one-third of the ball- room is reserved for dancing and the remaining is covered with wine tables. The time spent in each part of the hall is in about the same proportion also for they dance a waltz, two-step quad- rille, or polka and then have about twice the length of time re- quired for a dance for an intermission in which to get their refreshments. They repeat this throughout the night and as the beverages are of the fermented kind, one can easily imagine the condition of the couples about 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning. THE ACORN 23 At these hours it begins to get more difficult for them to dance at the end of an intermission than it was at the close of a pre- vious dance. They are happy now. They no longer care who sees them and some of the girls take off their masks. Now is the time for the unprejudiced judge to give his decision of this kind of happiness—one glance is all that is necessary and he turns away too disgusted, almost, to give his opinion. Happiness! What a contrast between those kinds mentioned and the happiness of the soul! All that one needs in order to judge for ones self is to go into a little “locale” in the same city from which the other examples are taken and there see, in that little room with low ceiling and lighted lamp even in the after- noon, the expressions of happiness on the faces of the few simple souls who have been trying to help somebody along in this world and who are listening to a missionary who points out to them that true happiness comes only when they have made someone happy—when they have done their duty whether the skies are dark or fair, men kind or unkind—and when they have accom- plished that which our Father in Heaven has planned for them to do.

After many attempts the crew succeeded in cilmbing the rocky shore. “Now,” said President Driggs, “We’ll raise our flag so that pirates will beware of us.” The “blue and white” was no sooner unfurled to the breeze, when all were startled by a voice behind them saying in sepul- chral tones: “Who dares trespass on my grounds? Who dares supplant my colors.” “We, the class of ’09,” said West, in rather a weak voice, as he beheld the red flag of danger in the hands of a savage looking woman, who stood on a steep ledge just above them. A) Basket Bai.l Team THE ACORN “Explain how you happened on my land,” commanded the woman, pushing her long black hair out of her eyes with a crimson wand. In a few words Willard explained how they had started out on a pleasure trip, intending to return in time to have their fortunes told at Madame Trincola’s, when a storm arose and drifted them to this island. “I saw your boat two hours ago and raised this storm to wreck you on my coast,” said the strange creature in a ghostly voice. “As for fortune telling, I’m an Egyptian, and can reveal your past, present and to come. Follow me.” With fear and trembling, the students followed their weird guide over rocks, ledges and cliffs. Suddenly she paused before a alrge marble slab, and waved her wand over it three times. The third time it creaked on rusted hinges and opened, reveal- ing a secret passage leading into the earth. “Follow,” again commanded the prophetess, leading the way with a lighted torch. The students quickly formed into a single line and obeyed her. On and on, they wandered, through winding passages. At last they reached a large cavern, and the Egyptian motioned them all to be seated on a rocky bench along one side. “Now,” said the Egyptian, unlocking a secret vault and drawing out a large cauldron, which she placed over an open fireplace. “Now I’ll prepare a powerful charm and proceed to reveal the misty future. First, let me give you a caution. Speak no words to each other, and ask me no questions or the spell will be broken. When I call your name, walk by the cauldron three times and make a wish. The third time I’ll predict what the future holds for you.” She emptied three vials into the foaming kettle, and revealed the students’ futures as follows: Hyrum Belnap—You, a drawer of water, and hewer of wood shall be—for time and all eternity. Carl Shipp—A minister’s office you shall hold—and many sheep bring in the fold. Albert Wade—You shall have all the riches of this life— and Florence Judkins for a wife. 26 THE ACORN John Wilson—Instructor in W. A. thou shalt be—nothing but hardships in store for thee. Harold Cambell—Boldly the future before you looms—a robber of graves and maker of tombs. Fred Jensen—Be not discouraged while raking hay—for at the luncheon table waits Claramay. West Lindsay—Nothing for you but a football player—al- though you may aspire to be a mayor. Louesa Critchlow—A breaker of hearts is thy trade—and yet thou shalt be a happy sweet maid. Andrew Baggs — A chemist for evermore—generating H2S04. Irma Browning—Boldly in an auto thou shalt pass by— winking at all the boys on the sly. Willard Dance—Thou shalt be a lawyer of great fame— and all the world shall hear thy name. Horace Wayment—In Plain City thou shalt be a farmer— accompanied through life by Edna Garner. Heber Hancock—When you lose your job as choir director— you’ll become a dog-tax collector. Edna Woods—Paris fashions thou shalt lead—Of latest styles taking heed. Horace Nelson—Your future can be easily seen—agent for Success Magazine. Lawrence Farr—You, by the name of Lawrence Farr—shall be a conductor on a street car. Clarence Stephenson—You, an explorer in the Arctic zone— seeking fame in lands unknown. Lizzie Walker—Mender of clothes and mixer of bread—all household duties resting on thy head. David Moench—Thou shalt be head of Sunday school— teaching the children the Golden Rule. THE ACORN 27 Parley Farrell—Thou shalt be a member of the senate—at the age of thirty and one minute. Clyde Clark—The future reveals a change from now—thy bread shall be earned by the sweat of thy brow. M. Tanner—As sure as thy name is Tanner—thou’ll marry a girl by the name of Hanner. Burton Driggs—President of the U. S. shalt thou be—mak- ing decrees with rulers far o’er the sea. Francis Goddard—Thou a great man shalt be, either later or sooner—And win world renown as a piano tuner. Rexel B.—If your duties you never shirk—you may again be Legislator clerk. • Charlotte Stallings—Although you a kindergarten teacher may be—you may always be sure that John Pope will love thee. Dewey Ensign—In your class you have always been an im- portant factor—and in your day shall become the worlds great- est actor. Eugene Widdison—Thou a wanderer in a foreign land— seeking gold in Alaskan sand. Lillian Guthrie—On the stage your life you’ll lead—and never know what is to need. The cauldron sank, the charm was broken. Quickly the Egyptian marshaled the students from the cavern, and as the storm had long since abated, they embarked on their vessel, and steered away from the enchanted isle. SEFO i CO MM£f C£rt£H T.

This fact was again made manifest by the grand character ball given the night of January 15, 1909. This was the first, dance of the kind to be given. The costumes were numerous and beautiful. The one idea in the decoration was the burlesque corners on different classes, while our class colors, old rose and white, added to the attractive- ness of the party. The party was a decided success, socially and financially. WHAT THE GIRLS CAN DO. The landing between rooms 16 and 17 was a scene of at- traction March 15, 1909. The Junior girls here had a candy sale. The corner was decorated in class colors and a table cov- ered with delicious home-made candy made by the girls. A matinee in the afternoon finished a successful and en- joyable day. The result was that twenty dollars was added to the class treasury. 30 THE ACORN CLASS YELLS Sis, boom-bah! We’re the Juniors. ’Rah! ’rah! ’rah! We are fine— Right in line. We’re the bunch Every time. Its we are, Its we are— J-u-n-i-o-r. AN EXTRAORDINARY CLASS MEETING. On April 2nd a notice appeared on the bulletin board that a special meeting would be held that afternoon important to every Junior. Of course, the Juniors are naturally curious. This was shown by the president being repeatedly interrupted and the same question asked: “What are we going to do in class meeting?” to which he positively refused to reply. When meeting was called to order the usual full house was not present. But the few loyal members who did appear were taken to the room which had already been prepared for them and, greatly to the surprise of all present, delicious ice cream and cake was served as a compliment from the Junior boys. Does it pay to be loyal? THE J ACORN 31 One day in December the Senior boys took it into their heads to change their occupation. Barbering was the new trade chosen and preparations were immediately made for convert- ing room 13 into a first class barber shop. Patronage they would have, whether it come willingly or not, and, strange to say, for customer No. 1 they chose a prominent member of Class ’10. Victor Sears fell victim to their shears. No spectators were allowed and in order to insure privacy further the victim was calmly (?), with much struggling, placed on the floor by about sixteen Senior men and then completely hidden from view by the rest of their classmen, who served not only as a screen but also as ballast to hold the honored guest on the floor. The business was then transacted. The classmen of ’09 soon abandoned the tonsorial art as a bad job and went back to sleep. Through the strenuous efforts of parties belonging to neither class, we assure you, a “peace meeting” was agreeably agreed to with many and strong ob- jections by both classes concerned, which, according to our judg- ment, surpassed the “Hague’’ by few. “and the sophomores paid for the paint.” “ ’Twas on a winter’s night Not so very long ago; The night was dark and quiet, There was scarcely any snow. ’ ’ We placed our ’10 upon the roof, And then made our retreat; But Sophs had followed, and when we left., They, a like process, did repeat. Upon the roof that frosty night, When darkness hid the mall from sight, Midway almost, ’twixt earth and heaven, Our ’10 they changed into ’ll. We will confess, ’twas a slight surprise, But not the end, you may well surmise. More strange things followed, and the songs still sing: “Class eleven, you have been ‘stung.’ ” For of late we Junior men THE ACORN Upon ourselves did take, High on the selfsame roof, in front, Another HO to make. Of course, we did it, nor think that all; Simply ’cause it aint. ’9 We changed that HI to a HO And the “Sophs paid for the paint.” The paint was black, but called “enamel,” And even now, to this very day, When Old Sol's rays are clear and bright, A shining HO looms up in sight. Vol. XX Bfuntor ferali) Published at Ogden Utah No. 10 MAY 25, 1909 SMALLPOX OASES REPORTED. A number of cases of smallpox were recently reported to the Board of Health, but it is questionable whether there is any truth in the report, as a number of persons concerned are mem- bers of the calss of '09, and it is a well known fact that they are too slow to catch anything. COUNTESS PASSES THROUGH OGDEN. The countess, Lenore Brown Sobeiski, passed through Ogden yesterday on a tour to Lynn to visit with parents and friends. BRIEFS. The famous actress, Madame Lila Kccles, will appear at the Grand Sun- day evening in Miss Josephine Burton’s world renowned drama, Mother Goose. Stewart Eccles was arraigned in po- lice court last session for reckless driv- ing. Upon his inability to pay his fine, having spent all his cash for hot air for his machine, he was given ten days at the usual place. The game warden for Utah filed a complaint against Rev. Henry Yolker for holding in undue suspense a young deer (dear) or ‘'fawn.” For anything in the line of sawdust, slivers, or splinters, apply .to the Cordon-Belnap Lumber Company. At the New Grand on Wednesday evening Prof. Leland Read, just re- turned from Berlin, will give his initial recital. The professor is assisted by a number of prominent local musicians of the town. One of the main features of the evening will be the drum solo rendered by the capable Orwin Miller. Henry Erickson will also ably assist the young professor. Indications are that the dashing young society Belle, Esther Shurtliff, is going too far (Farr)—some day. Professional bootblacking, good work; reasonable prices. Carl Torgeson, prop.

SCHOOL DAY LOVE AFFAIR BROUGHT TO AN ABRUPT END Miss Mable Rolapp, tue long-looked- for bride-to-be of the famous psycholog- ist, Victor Hugo Sears, on April 27, took ship to Europe. The psychologist is at present labor- ing under an intense strain of mind, occasioned by the sudden departure. The family physician, Dr. Leo Harris, hopes for his ultimate recovery. SERIOUS WRECK. A serious wreck occurred late Mon- day night on the Cragun-Critchlow air- ship line directly over the North Pole, as a result of a head-on collision. As the cars were run by hot air, the nu- merous passengers were slightly injured before the cars could be stopped. Among the injured are the following: Myrtle Ramsden. Amy Taylor. Jessie Stevens. Florence Judkins. Effie Grow. Hazel Felt. The injured were immediately placed under the care of Dr. Ray Jones and hopes for the recovery of all is enter tained. MAN ROAMING STREETS. A certain person who gives his name as Herbert Reeder was forcibly taken to police court yesterday. It was thought ho is mentally deranged. Chief of Police Ballantyne discovered him on the corner of Twenty-first street boisterously bellowing a string of “Rah Rahs! for Weber!” The attending physicians think it is only a reappearance of the same malady with which he was seized immediately after the Weber Academy basketball team defeated Granite a few months ago. CHIEF OF POLICE TO LOSE POSITION. Upon order of Mayor Joseph Eccles, Chief of Police Ballantyne will likely lose his position. The mayor, late last evening, met the chief leaving the hair- dressing and manicuring parlors of Athleen Woods and Mary Tanner, bear- ing away a strenuous pompadour. The city’s chief executive decided such actions were entirely too sporty for one occupying such a humble posi- tion. SPORTING NEWS PRIZE FIGHT CALLED OFF. A prize fight was called for Friday p. m. in the Weber Academy gym. Mayor Eccles, however, disappointed the fight fans of the town by calling out Chief of Police Roland Ballantyne and his forces, who put an end to the game. Giant George Burton has accepted the proposition of relieving Atlas one day out of every seven. Success to him. World’s Champian Middleweight Wrestler S. E. Harris has left for Ath- ens where he will enter the world wrest- ling meet. THE ACORN 35 The Weber Academy and especially the Junior class have reason to be proud of the brilliant genius of one of its members, Herbert Reeder, who has at last solved the problem, which for cen- turies has baffled the greatest physicist, L e., perpetual motion. The above ac- companying diagram will show clearly the principle of his machine. Consider the weight B on right side of diagram as going in direction indi- cated by the arrow. The weight is a six-lb. iron block going up, but as it reaches point X at the top, by careful watching of the weight and also its value 6 lbs., it can easily be seen that it changes to a 9-lb. weight. Therefore every such pairs of weights as A and B produces an excess of 3 lbs. on the left side and the wheel revolves as a consequence on axel Q in a counter clock-wise direction. The machine is very simple, “ absolutely nothing to get out of order.’’ “A child can operate it and it never gets out of order.” Great financial rewards are hoped for, from discovery.

We have established by our great number the high standard of the school in keeping in touch with the hints and suggestions of the Faculty in “Finding our place and keeping it,” and in “Carrying our responsibility.” In classwork, comparing with other classes, we have the greatest number who have not failed. We have raised the “Self Government Scheme” to unpar- alleled heights. We have raised the greatest noise in advertising our Lec- ture Course. We have won all the Basketball games by our faith and support. THE ACORN We have won the Silver Loving Cup for the Sophomores by sacrificing our usual power to debate. We have placed carloads of blue tickets in the hands of our advertisers. We have comprised chiefly the choir, band, orchestra and glee clubs. We know the Scriptures as our A B.

Prof. Bradford: “A ‘Parent and Child’ was left on a desk in room 9.” Prof. Mills, (In Ancient History): “Thousands of head of horses are canned and shipped into our state every year.” But he didn’t say how many men get canned in our state every year. Margaret Kotter: “Miss Larkin, shall I let the tucks run away from the back?” All those wishing to buy, rent or borrow second-hand chew- ing gum will apply to John Browning. Why don’t the boys get in style and have a “Sunny Jim” pompadour like Roland B. Mary (looking at the map of Utah): “Minnie, how far is Hyrum from Pleasant View?” Minnie: “Why, that’s where he lives.” Ethel Sisman: “His father died when he was eight vears old.” Prof. Jensen (speaking of the Jews being the only people without a country): “The Americans have their America, the English have their England, and the Turks have their Turkey.” There are some people who are expected to do a great deal without being told, viz: planting an old sage brush and then standing around until dinner time. THE ACORN 47 A notice on the Bulletin Board: ‘‘All Seniors who had pic- tures taken after Tuesday noon must have them taken again. You broke the lens. We have on sale several hundred copies of the following popular novels: ‘Aw, Forget It.” by Florence Judkins. “Essentials on Hairdressing,” by Alberta Wright. “How to Make a Hit,” by Martha Shaw. “How to Care for a Tree, (Cedar) ” Lillian Wright. “The Soul Kiss,” by Ernest McKay and Lila Eccles. “The Ballet Dancer,” by Fawn Wright. “Norma Darling,” by Thad Stevens. “The Lay of the Mariner,” by Bea Brewer. “Lucile,” by Jim Scowcroft. “Hints on Automobiling,” by Celia Eccles. “When Shall We Two Meet Again,” by Victor Sears and Mabel Rolapp. The Physics class have recently advanced the theory that “echo” is the only phenomenon that can flim-flam a woman out of the last word. They are never alone, who are accompanied with noble thoughts. He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything. The second year Domestic Science girls gained much prac- tical experience during the first semester in preparing and serv- ing dinners at noon to the public. The second semester the girls have been given a limited amount of money with which to give luncheons. They have made out their own menus, and have done their own marketing, pre- paring and serving. 48 THE ijtACORN They have also been given a course in lecture work on Food and Dietectics, correct and dainty serving and in making menus. The first year girls have been given demostration lessons and lecture work on principles of cookery. The mid-year girls have been given a course of lecture work on principles of cookery, which will enable them to begin with second year’s work next year. Though the Domestic Science Department has only been in- stituted in the school two years it has advanced very rapidly, and the girls have gained good, practical experience from it; but the course outlined for next year will surpass all that has been given. Mr. Stanley, agent for Shilling’s Best company, donated to the department extracts, spices, etc., amounting to Ten Dol- lars, for experiments in the department, which have been found very satisfactory and for which we wish to thank him. Miss Nina Winters and Rhea Brown proved themselves charming hostesses at a luncheon served in the W. A. dining room on St. Patrick’s day, at 4:00 P. M., under the direction of Mrs. D. R. Shurtliff. St. Patrick’s colors were used in profu- sion throughout the dining room; the table being decorated with a centerpiece of green and white carnations in a tall green hat and smilax hung in festoons from the chandelier to the ends of the table, while candles illuminated the room in a soft shade of green light. The place cards were little shamrocks. A yellow luncheon was given April 22, by Margaret Kolter and Beatrice Farr. The green and white luncheon given April 27, by Eva Sorenson and Pearl Bingham was a great success. May 5, a dainty peach blossom luncheon was given by Mary Parker and Hazel Hudman. May 12, a dainty apple blossom luncheon was given by Ethel Sisman and Pearl Peterson. A very dainty purple and white luncheon was given March 31, by Miss Birde Wotherspoon to the S. M. B. S. club. A bas- ket of violets being hung from the chandelier with purple rib- bons intertwined with smilax draped to each place. The color ■ ©MV %itto ©vpn 'Phc Academy is indebted to the Glenn Bros. Piano Company of Ogden for their generous gift of a fine chapel organ. It is of the West- ern Cottage make, the case of golden oak, has 17 stops and 7 sets of reeds. We do not know its actual value in money, but its worth to us and the spirit in which it was given cannot be measured by money. During the Christmas holidays two teachers approached the Glenn Bros, and made known the need of a good organ for the Academy. The need was no sooner shown than supplied. Had the donors been present at devotional exercises and witnessed the manifestation of appreciation with which their gift was received, it would have demonstrated to them the force of the truth. “It is better to give than to receive.” We take this means of publicly thanking this wide-awake firm and wishing them the business success they deserve. 'Phe dividing of the Weber Stake into the Ogden, Weber and North Weber Stakes made it necessary to change the name of the Academy. Consequently the new board of directors which was organized at the beginning of this school year authorized the change from “Weber Stake Academy” to that of “Weber Academy.” The Junior Class, desiring to do something in a material way for the school, had the name plate on the front of the building remodeled so that it reads, as appears in the above cut—“Weber Academy.” Tile work was neatly done and the new plate presents an imposing appear- ance. THE ACORN 49 scheme was carried out through the seven courses which were served. Pearl Shaw and Lily Barker entertained five of their girl friends at an Easter luncheon in the Academy dining room April 9, 1909, the color scheme being purple and yellow, which was carried out effectively. The center of the table was decorated with a nest containing Easter chickens and purple and yellow eggs, around which were strewn daffodils and violets. The while place cards were tied with narrow purple and white rib- bon. Each of the four courses carried out the color effect, the Easter idea prevailing. Another dinner of the series given by the Domestic Science girls was given March 10, 1909, by Gladys Wright and Mamie Doxey. The color scheme of green and yellow was carried out effectively. The table being decorated with daffodils and ferns. The white place cards were decorated with a piece of fern tied with yellow ribbon. There were four courses which were carried out very successfully. Sotnrjetl tpxvtmtut It is recognized by all students of present that it is as nec- essary to educate the body as the mind; that it is it? indispens- able to a thorough education that one’s hands should be trained as that one’s mental power should be developed In the dis- position of all young people there is a certain amount of motor activity which should be trained, rather than allowed to run to waste, or to be expended in mere pastimes. As an outlet for this motor activity, the boys have manual training. For the girls, the best way of training the hands is in sewing. Sewing is filled with possibilities of constructive work. Outfits of various kinds, such as housemaids need, the linen closet, the tea table, the trousseau, and fine arts for adorning the home are the basis of work taught in the Domestic Arts De- partment. Our work does not aim to prepare for a trade, it aims to give mental and moral strength, to increase appreciation 50 THE ACORN for the true and beautiful and to develop a love of doing and a desire to benefit others. Froebel’s heartfelt cry of the need of training every child’s natural activity if he would be harmoniously developed gave a new meaning to manual work. Phychologists studying the de- velopment of the brain, found that a complete education includ- ed training in action as well as in thought. Gradually, as more study was given to its proper function in the school, the entire attitude of education was changed. Among such leaders it is now agreed that every child should be given the opportunity to use hand, will and mind together. The Domestic Arts Department occupies two large, well lighted rooms on the first floor of the building. The rooms are carpeted and are well equipped, having eighteen machines, five drafting tables, an excellent glass cabinet for displaying work and lockers for each girl’s work. There are twenty-five girls registered in this department who show much interest in their various kinds of work.
