Uream While passing through a lighted hall, I saw a picture, wondrous fair, A mother’s fondest hope, and all Her tender love were painted there. ’Twas evening and the light was low, A little child with golden hair Knelt at her side with earnest bow To say his simple evening prayer. But as I watched the gentle love Which shone from out that mother’s face, The scene before me seemed to move, 1 looked upon another place. A hundred hearts were beating high, A hundred lights were burning bright, I knew a joyous hour was nigh, ’Twas happy gay commencement night. The mother, sitting there aside, Looked out upon her own dear son, And as she gazed, a look of pride Upon her tender features shone. But once I saw a change again. I looked into a cabin door, There stood a tall and goodly man, And there the mother as before. He held her hand in silent tears. I almost thought 1 heard her sigh As calmly she controlled her fears, And breathed a sorrowful good bye. The picture vanished like a sheen Of mist upon a sunny sea, And then I knew that I had seen The portrait of reality. O happy days of youthful joy, That far too quickly pass away, Teach us that while we life enjoy, We later may rejoice to say, “In love and kindness have I tried Each day to live as best 1 might, To throw all wantoness aside And stand in virtue, truth, and right.” —F. R. SoutifKir front 1310 NUMBER FIVE VOL. SEVEN “tD]e Penbangi Imagine yourself in old Switzerland on a crisp fall morning standing at the foot of a hill covered with grape vines. Imagine that the grapes are ripe and that you and several companions are there contemplating the work before you. And if you wish, picture some of us in a happy, boisterous mood and others more contem- plative. If you are there now we will begin to pick. The boys of the party take every other row and the girls, as a means of precaution, take the rows between, for during the grape gathering of Switzerland it is held as a divine right for the boy to embrace the maiden beside him if she should happen to miss a bunch of grapes, granting, of course, the same right to her. The baskets are being rapidly filled, for we are not stopping to pick the ripe, luscious ones only, but all on the vines from those that make one’s mouth water to those that give one a shudder to think of eating. “Raisins.” someone calls, and Henri goes to empty the basket of the picker. On his way back he takes the contents of the others’ baskets and carries all to the container, into which he squashes the grapes by means of a little hand mill on top of the container. THK ACORN 3 Gaston’s back is getting tired already, so he stops to rest and wanders over to examine the con- tainer. He finds it to be a fun- nel-shaped, wooden receptacle about four feet deep, two feet wide and one foot in breadth at the top. one side of which is con- vex and the opposite one concave to fit the back of the carrier. Fas- tened on the concave side are two great round straps that go over the shoulders and under the arms of the one who carries the crushed grapes to the big barrel. The mill at the top is simply two grooved logs working like cog- wheels and turned by a small han- dle. While examining the huge barrel Gaston is startled by a cry of surprise coming from the little dark-eyed girl who has just payed the penalty for missing a bunch of grapes. Imagine now that you have worked all morning and that Henri is just emptying the contents of the container into the barrel for the tenth time when the call comes for dinner. We all leave our buckets to mark our places and follow the lane running between a high rock wall on one side and a row of huts on the other. Finally we reach the proprietor’s house and barn which, by the way, are the same build- ing. Entering by the barn door we pass through the loft, step down two steps through another doorway and we arc in the kitchen, where dinner—soup, salad, potatoes, sausage and Swiss pudding—is already on the table, and the smiling Swiss housewife waits to see that we eat until we literally can't swallow another bite. The meal is about half over and, up to the present, has been enjoyed immensely. The Americans of the party are exerting their best efforts to down some of that country sausage, when a squeal of indigestion comes from the next room. It is one of those animals Sir Walter Scott calls swine, which is bemoaning the death of one of his brothers, who is now the principal ingredient of the sausage we are trying so hard to eat. 4 THEVP acorn Imagine, again, that dinner is fin- ished with no further disturbances, that all afternoon we gather grapes, ' that the barrel is filled with crushed fruit and stems. Now think: All those grapes that were picked during the day—those beautiful ones and those j wormy, dirty ones—are all mixed to- gether and pressed into wine—that clear, red wine that one sees so much on the market. Imagine now that the “vendange” is finished, and if you have pictured well you have seen a typical grape gathering scene and the incidents pertaining to it as it really happens in Switzerland every year. — W.

With this end in view, we called for volunteer photographers, and now print the results of their work on the following page. We specialized in this department, realizing that pictures are the life of any souvenir publication and will be of interest long after the reading material has lost its charm. At last the gymnasium problem has taken definite proportions. Unfortunately, however, the committee has requested that nothing be published concerning the plans. This much we may say, that there is organized an energetic committee of thirty-five mutual workers with President D. O. McKay as chairman. The idea of a gymnasium is by no means new. Here is a quota- tion from the first souvenir Acorn ever published. The girls are looking forward with pleasure to the Domestic Science department, and the boys to the Manual Training, but both will be benefited by the modern gymnasium to be fitted out. That was more than five years ago. The long hoped for Domestic Science and Manual Training de- partments have been realized, but not until the present has our gymnasium been a certainty. We. the present staff, now surrender our precious charge—the Acorn. We lay it down with a sigh of relief, yet we look upon it with pride and feel a maternal interest and anxiety for its future wel- fare. We submit the charge to next year’s staff, with the request that they guide it through another year of success to a higher state of perfection and place our school paper on a plane where we may all be proud of it. With a feeling of hope, we retire and say: “We wish you success with all our hearts. THE t ACORN 7 |Cecture Course Another successful year has gone and the Academy has again shown itself capable of giving the Ogden public the best that the coun- try affords. No other thing has done more good for the school than the Lecture Course. The citizens of Ogden have made such splendid Lecture Courses possible, inasmuch as they have supported them. During this season, with such a man as Senator Bob Taylor, with a heart of melody and a tongue of gold, as the first number, success could not but come. Lecture Course 1909-10.

Departing Senior (to teacher)— I have come to thank you for all 1 know. Teacher—“Oh, don’t mention the trifle.”—Ex. Prisoner at the bar.” said the portly, pompous and florid mag- istrate, “you are charged with stealing a pig, a very serious offense in this district.

Never before has debating held such a prominent place among our student body activities. It is practically a new institution, but the enthusiasm that it has created among the students shows that it is fast finding favor. Much interest was centered about the inter- class debates. The different classes, anxious to win the silver loving cup, put out strong teams and when these teams met. one could not well determine who was winning or who had won until the judges had rendered their decision. This interest displayed by the various classes did much to elevate the new phase in our school lite and made possible the selection of a strong team to represent the Academy in the State High School Debating League. Our first debate was on March 18. when we met a team from the Collegiate Institute of Salt Lake City. The question was, “Resolved, That the tariff should be imposed for revenue only, ’ the Academy team, composed of William Critchlow, Alma Wilson, Lawrence Rich- ards and Peter Kasius, alternate, representing the affirmative, and the Collegiate team representing the negative. It was a splendid contest in every way, being characterized by good speeches and well statd arguments. But our team more than held their own with the visitors, and at the end of the contest received an unanimous decision of the judges. The judges were Judge William McCarthy, Professor A. Blaine Roberts of the University of Utah, and Attorney George Davis. The victory over the Collegiate Institute pitted the Academy team against the strong team of the Park City High School in the semi-finals. Slightly handicapped because of the short time to pre- pare and changing the side of the question, they journeyed down to Park City and, before a packed house in the Orpheum Theater, went down to defeat by a decision of two to one. In this debate the Academy was represented by Lawrence Greemvell, William Critch- low and Lawrence Richards. The judges were Professors A. Blaine ACADEMY ORCHESTRA ACADEMY BAND THB ACORN 9 Roberts and Clifford Goff of the University and R. T. Mason of Park City. Park City has a strong team. Their team work was good and it showed long preparation and good coaching. Our team showed up equally as well, and Park City can justly feel proud that she defeated us by so narrow a margin. A clipping from the Park City paper reads as follows: The team members and coach of the Weber Academy are foemen worthy of the best high school teams in Utah or in the whole Intermountain region. They commanded the respect of every one here by their mag- nanimous spirit shown even in defeat. Truly they are manly fellows and we will be glad to welcome their return.” This is the second time our aspirations have been nipped just as we were about to realize success—championship. Last year Eureka did as Park City has done this year; but success comes to those who work and wait. We have worked, we will wait and base our hope upon the saying, First the work, second the same, last the best of all the game.” The Salt Lake High School debating team sent an invitation to the Academy team, inviting our team to meet them in a debate upon the same question. Both the Salt Lake team and Academy team have met defeat at the hands of Park City—the former by a decision of three to nothing, and the latter by a decision of two to one. The debate would undoubtedly prove very interesting, but our team felt that they could not well accept the invitation so close to the ending of the school year, so it was carried over until next year.

During the year we have given several successful luncheons, one ma’inee and an Orpheum box party. Lucile Ballantyne Edith Barlow Lila Eccles Marv Summerill The musical talent within the school has developed greatly within the last two or three months. At first the several musical depart- ments were not organized completely and were progressing slowly, but when they became organized they worked very diligently for suc- cess. The musical instruction in the Academy is given by Professors llallantyne and Nichols, who are more than interested with their dif- ferent organizations. The several organizations are: The Band, Or- chestra, Sight Singing classes. Choir and monthly recitals. The fu- ture musical outlook is very bright, especially if we ate successful in getting the conservatory in our school. The sight singing classes have had a most successful season of work. The first year class numbers more than fifty and has completed all the fundamental principles of notation, time, intermediate tones, scales, including the harmonic and melodic minor and tonality. Very few have discontinued, so that this class has been one of the most suc- cessful Prof. Ballantyne has ever taught. The choir has done some very creditable work during the past school year. Their rendition of patriotic, melodic, humorous songs every morning in devotional and their taking part in programs on special occasions has thrown much praise upon the leader and the school. 'Phe organization is now earnestly rehearsing “Wreck of the Hesperus, a very beautiful and artistic musical work by Tomas An person, with words by the immortal Longfellow. This characteristic Ulntala gives great opportunity for emotional display and for the cm- Poyment of dramatic fire in contrast to the intensely syrup esthetic l ne Idch must be had to express the more tender passages. It has ecu orchestrated and for accompaniment the choir and soloists will au l lc school orchestra with the piano. 12 THE f ACORN The story deals with the wrecking of the schooner “Hesperus.” The daring bravery of the skipper who had taken his daughter aboard to keep him company. The approaching storm with all its cold and fury which results in final disaster to the ship and death to the skipper through exposure and cold. At day break on the bleak sea- beach a fisherman discovers the form of the daughter lashed close to a drifting mast. “The salt sea was frozen on her breast and salt tears in her eyes.” The cantata closes with these suggestive lines: “Such was the wreck of the Hesperus, In the midnight and the snow! Christ, save us all from a death like this, On the reef of Norman’s woe.” Mr. Lawrence Green well will sing the part of the skipper and Miss Elsie Shorten that of the daughter. This beautiful work will make a most pleasing and instructive part of the commencement program. The periodical musicales given during the past season have grown to be very popular. The school choir and orchestra have taken part in each recital as well as the best local and Salt Lake talent as soloists. So popular have these musicals become that a general demand is being made for them for next year. Prof. Ballantyne informs us that they no doubt will be permanent in the school. They have not only been entertaining, but highly instructive and educational in their na- ture, for many of the works of the great masters have been presented. Wisdom is in knowing what to do next; skill is in knowing how to do it, and virtue in doing it.—Jordan. Within the past year the students and the patrons of the school have listened with surprise and appreciation to some very artistic selections rendered by the band and orchestra. Prof. Nichols has de- voted a great deal of time in trying to make these organizations rank with the best in the city. The orchestra has a membership of sixteen, while the band has twenty-four. They have regular practices each week and the members are very diligent and inter- ested in the musical uplifting of the school. Their selections have been of the classical order, as well as the popular. They have pro- gressed wonderfully and have the reputation that has been worked hard for. The orchestra has played two selections for each recital which has been given this year, having new pieces for each musical. They have also played very successfully at all of the dances and are now hard at work preparing the instrumental part of the cantata. THE ACORN 13 Through the efforts of the band members, the band as a whole is a very successful organization. They have played before very ap- preciative audiences at the lectures. The band concert, which was given at an early date, was very well arranged and delightfully ren- dered. A special feature was the rendition of a song by Mr. Law- rence Green well, accompanied by the band. Mr. Green well has a rich bass voice and it harmonized beautifully with the band. At any spe- cial occasion the band was “on the spot” with their instruments ready for service. Especially was this shone when Governor Spry arrived at the Academy and when the lecturers were to appear. The band is an organized body of workers, having a president, vice-president, secre- tary and treasurer. They have their regular meetings and a certain number of laws. Much credit is due Prof. Nichols, who is leader of the band and orchestra. His special practices and conscientious work with each member has brought the cjuick results. We have now in our possession a beautiful Kimball Grand piano, which we won in a prize contest last year through the help of the students and faculty. Every one in the school is now receiving the benefits of the labor. It is rumored that a conservatory of music will be established in' the Academy next year and that the talent for the monthly musicales will be drawn from the different departments of the conservatory to assist the choir and orchestra. Prof. Ballantyne, when approached upon the subject, preferred not to give anything out authoritatively at present. Let us hope it will mature, for it would further tend to popularize the Academy as one of the leading high schools of the state. Q.—When is it positively dangerous to go to church?

After tying Granite for the title, the defeat was rather severe. The thoughts of this defeat had not entirely lost their sting when the basket-ball season came around once more, and it was with tre- mendous determination that our boys entered the league. We lost two games in the entire league series and they were lost on our op- ponents’ floors. At the close of the series by actual points, we were in the lead, but by a game having been forfeited to the team from the School for the Deaf, it was necessary to play a tie game on a neutral floor. This was a decisive victory for us, the score being 22 to 36. The result of the game made our representatives champions of the northern division. One more game remained to be played, that with Heber, champion team of the southern division. The game was called for April 2 at the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium in Salt Lake. At 8:30 both teams were on the floor. At the first sound of the referee’s whistle our boys began to play ball in earnest. A bold start with a score of five was made before Heber’s team realized that the game had started. As soon, however, as they did so, the situation of the game began to grow exciting. The score was soon made even : first one side was ahead and then the other. The rooters were in continuous suspense until the first half ended with a score of 12-12. Our boys had evidently become used to the environment by the time the second half began, for they played with twice the speed and precision they had manifested before. The entire half was an exhibi- tion of clean, clear-cut, fast and almost perfect playing. The ball simply flew from one side of the hall to the other as it made its way THE ? ACORN IS toward our basket, never touching the iloor, and to all appearances never seen by Hebcr. The swift and absolute passing accomplished by our team certainly showed the effect of earnest and systematic training. The game ended with a score of 17 to 31. At last the goal had been reached and the reward of continued work and training real- ized. A clear and unquestioned title to the State High School Basket- ball championship was established for the W. A.

The class ’12 has voted to give the money left in their treasury at the end of the year to the Gym. fund. At the beginning of the year the class ’10 voted to give all their surplus to the gymnasium. They have also got out neat little celluloid buttons as a means of boosting and promise to do some- thing very much more substantial in the near future. 16 THESP acorn The Student Body manifested their appreciation to the basket- ball boys for the great honor they had brought the school by pre- senting each of the team men with a gold watch fob and the substi- tutes with a sterling silver one. INTER CLASS TRACK MEET. Evidently the cup presented to the Student Body '‘for the en- couragement of track athletics,, served its purpose in some degree at least, for more spirit and enthusiasm was manifested this spring than ever before. About the middle of March boys began to appear each morning, limping around on stiff legs, the result of the first few nights of training. The track became the scene of hard work every evening after school, ‘‘professionals,’ amatuers, beginners, in fact all were interested, looking forward to the inter-class meet which took place April 30 at the fair grounds. It was certain before the event began that the contest would lay between the two upper classes and the uncertainty as to the win- ing team continued until almost the last event. The two classes were represented by two strong and evenly balanced teams. The Seniors sent two especially strong men. Burton, although he had been out of the sick bed for less than a week, and Greenwell, to oppose the fav- orites, Clark and Roberts, from the Junior class. Throughout the meet was full of spirit and extremely interesting.

The purpose was to further the interests of the de- partment, that its influence might be felt more keenly by the school in general. Among the prominent and successful men who gave us talks along their respective lines of business were: Mr. Heber Scow- croft, of the John Scoweroft Sons wholesale firm ; Mr. John Pingree, cashier of the First National Bank; Mr. Parley T. Wright, manager of W. H. Wright Sons’ Department Store, and Mr. Craft of the For- estry Service. The club is gaining ground very fast and is serving its purpose, intending to be the most popular and complete organiza- tion in the school in the future.

Prof. Hansen—“Why don’t we eat horse meat; they are more particular what they eat than a cow?” Casius—“Then a human being must be better than them. “That man is built of the lower part of the world that is not brought up to business and affairs. —Owen Fetham. “If you want your own business done, go and do it; if you don’t want it done, send some one else.”—Wm. J. Bryan. “Punctuality is the politeness of kings. —Abraham Lincoln. Business is “employment, an affair, serious engagement, some- thing to be transacted; something to be done. Every human being has duties to be performed, and therefore must cultivate his capacity for doing them. In order to build a house we must first have a found- ation, and after having built it must prepare for that which is to fol- low. By what means may we secure this foundation? It is secured only by indulging in those transactions that will bring 11s before the people. In business we come in contact with all classes of people, and converse the large and difficult problems of the day. Yet it is the manner in which even small matters are transacted that often decides men for or against you. Wm. J. Bryan says, “Business is a character tester and an evil coaxer. Think, if you can, of the corruption that would be caused upon the earth should the business man be taken away for only a day. The condition would be like sheep without a shepherd, which without a leader would wander into dark and dan- gerous passes. We can well apply the words of Senator Beveridge in his speech to Congress when he said, “The business man is like the blood of the nation, and we should all strive to be an enzyne of such.” A DREAM OF THE COMMERCIAL. A few nights ago, while dozing in my chair. I had a strange dream, in which I saw many of our leading club members, but was surprised at the business they had engaged in after leaving school. I thought I was riding on a train, through valleys that were un- known to me, when suddenly the door of the coach opened, and a 22 THE ACORN familiar voice called out; “Peanuts, Popcorn, Chewing-gum and Candy.” I turned and to my surprise, it was Stanley Purrington. He recognized me at once and we were soon deeply interested telling stories about the “good old school days ’ Hearing a voice in the seat behind me say: “Won’t they be surprised when they find we have eloped?” I turned to see who they might be, and found it was Mabel Moore and Lawrence Wright, my old schoolmates. Before 1 had time to speak with them, however, a gruff voice spoke from the end of the car, saying: “You’ll have to pay full fare. You’re surely over age.” And Carl Lindquist, dressed in a conductor’s uniform, entered, pushing before him Leland Read, who had tried to ride on a child’s ticket. We soon stopped at a strange city, but I got off the train to see what I could. As I pushed my way through the crowded depot, I noticed Florence Lowe, in a policeman’s uniform, arresting Ernest Wilson, for attempting to kidnap Marcia Slater. I walked up the street until I came to a large office building, in front of which stood our president, Clarence Johnson, loudly proclaiming that he sold all kinds of “Soft Soap and Shoe Polish.” I also recognized three of my old schoolmates, Eugene Barkdull, Ervin Iligley and Willard Gardiner, who were busy sweeping the street. Each wore a badge which read, “The Butler Scavenger and Street Cleaning Co.,” and looking up the street saw a water wagon approaching, on which was seated our friend Frank, himself, still wearing the “smile that won’t come off.” Upon entering the building, I saw these familiar names in the directory upon the wall: Pyott Bros., Matrimonial Agency; John Jones, Epitaphs and Rhymes; Norman Anderson, Expert Shin- gler; Mary Storey, Wigs and Costumes; H. Tribe, the “Bee” Man; 11. Wheelwright, Hot Air Specialist. Wishing to inquire the time, 1 opened the door of a large double office, directly in front of me, and to my amazement, saw our di- rector, Professor Hansen, busily engaged in teaching a crowd of col- lege boys how to play “Safe and Sane” football. His bookkeeper. Walter Garner, was making eyes at the stenographer, Isabel Bev- eridge. I stepped forward to shake hands with my old teacher, but just as I entered the door, his assistants, Ingles and Roberts, in an illustration of Professor Hansen’s idea of a “Surething” touchdown, hurled me back into the hall, and I bumped forcibly into the janitor of the building, and discovered to my horror that it was my old friend, Horace J. Nelson, who without recognizing me, kicked me out, and 1 landed in a heap on the sidewalk. I awoke, and found I had fallen out of my chair, but was glad that it was only a dream. Victor II. Sears.

At last Father Time has made it possible for us to really appre- ciate the significance of that one word which for four years we as a class have been wearing, yelling, singing and cherishing almost as sacred. “1910.” Our goal has been reached; our aims realized. More- over, we feel, and consistently we hope that we as a class have car- ried out the requirements of our motto and have accomplished more than just the necessary and common-place act of “geting through”; we believe and hope we have left behind us a record that rather than detract will add to the reputation of the Weber Academy. As we leave and disband we carry with us fond recollections of our connec- tion with the school. May she continue to grow and expand and de- velop and may every class that she turns out reflect more credit upon her and be bigger, better and stronger than the last. 24 THE ACORN T is with sense of pride and satisfaction that we look back on our record as an organization and a part of the Weber Academy. Especially is this true of this year’s accomplish- ments. We began operations last fall under rather discourag- ing conditions, not the least of which was a debt of nearly forty dollars. Not only have we cleared up this debt, but we have “inflated” our treasury with good solid coin far beyond any mark established previously by us, or so far as we know, by any other class. For just what purpose this surplus will be treed will be explained later. Sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.—Boardman. The class committee has succeeded in snap-shotting all members of the Senior Class together with others whose faces you see in this department. DEBATING. Perhaps by making a statement we run the risk of criticism, but before we leave the school we think it not improper to at least express our opinion. Last year we lost to the class '11. This year we de- termined to cover that defeat with victory. Our team met and de- feated last year’s champions and thus came up for the final with the class '12. The decision of the judges was against us. Now just where the line is between taking defeat gracefully and welcoming an injustice is mostly a matter of opinion, but this is one thing that the class of ’10 cannot take and feel good about. Here we feel we have “received a big lemon’' rather than suffered defeat. Moreover, this is not entirely imagination, for this opinion was upheld and sustained by faculty members and the debating committee from the faculty. But nothing was done to right the admitted injustice. This idea was further upheld when the school team was selected. It would have been logical to expect the majority of the team at least to be chosen from the Sophomore class, since they were class champions, but such was not the case. Furthermore, two of the Senior debators were of- fered positions on the school team in preference to any others. We would not have it understood that we entertain any but the best of feelings, for we readily admit that it was not their fault. We only contend that if a rank decision were rendered, as was admitted, an attempt at least to rectify should have been made. Tender handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle. And it soft as silk remains. —AARON HILL. THE'� ? ACORN- 25 tEhe 33Iaslmtgtcm fJarty On February 18 the class of '10 gave a Washing- ton party, which, it was universally admitted, set a standard in more vays than one for future dances in the Academy. The boys washed the entire dancing surface free from rosin and left the floor smooth and white. Old Glory in every form and shape imaginable cpiite transformed our hall from its usual and common appearance to one of beauty and grandeur. The corners were all particularly Hirque and suggestive. Red, white and blue punch was served in “Valley Forge.” People who remained off ihe floor on account of the immense crowd, rested in the fag corner in the refreshing breeze of an electric fan ; lounged in the Indian wigwam, or sat comfortably before the fireplace in the Colonial parlor. The Seniors entertained one of the largest crowds that ever gathered for a dancing party. Financially, the hundred-dollar mark was passed, thereby filling the coffers with welcome funds. “How speaks the present hour?” Act. Don't wait for great oppor tunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.” We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us. —BOVER. 26 theSP acorn 19111 parties Realizing that this would be our last year together, the Seniors decided early in the year to keep things busy socially as a class. Miss Lila Eccles was hostess at the first party given in October. Although it was much against the wishes of some of the anti-Seniors, all the Senior boys arrived safely and ready for the fun. An ex- traordinary source of entertainment was soon afforded. Our patroness soon had every boy writing proposals in verse to the girl whose name he had drawn. The girls were similarly occupied in accepting or re- fusing, as the case may have been. All the verses were read aloud to the amusement of the listeners. The entire process passed off gracefully, considering, of course, that all were absolute amateurs. A delicious buffet lunch was served, thus reviving all who had been overcome by the unusual occasion. After the Junior-Senior debate the Junior debators were the guests at an Orpheum party. A similar occasion was planned for the Sopho more debators on the evening of the day the debate was first sched- uled. Charles Stewart Eccles was the host at the home of his mother, and the class of 10 and the Sophomore team were the guests. Here we became authors. A popular song with a lady’s name was given each boy. It became the duty of each couple to parodize the chorus and then give a vocal rendition of the same. It was indeed astonishing to see just what ability, literary and musical, we have in the class (?). A most exquisite lunch was served by little girls in old rose and white aprons, this being the prevailing color throughout the evening. 'Pile third party was in the form of a sort of Domestic Science class, robbed of its disagreeable features—teachers, etc. As the boys arrived each one was unceremoniously ushered into a white apron and set to work; some peeling potatoes, others making biscuits, beat- ing egg or doing other culinary antics. A fine time was spent in cooking, but when it came to the neces- sary eating—Oh My! It is really surprising how “concentrated” and compact biscuit can become if just made right, and how absolutely solid cake can be if the cooks know just how to do things. Every- thing was certainly fine, though. If one thing above another deserves THE ACORN 27 special mention it was the mulligan stew “planned and constructed by Edyth and 1,eland. We must not forget to say, however, that no 5-ei'ious results followed. In fact we are all back to school again now. MENU. Strawberry Cocktails. Mulligan on Toast Potatoes en Surprise. Twin Biscuits. Salad a la Weber Ice Cream Cake Fudge “iWhs, iwt 31Wits” Evidently the dreams of the student body concerning the “Gym” will become realities just as soon as we get beyond the possibility of enjoying it. In this regard it is hardly an exaggeration to say we envy the Freshman class of next year, for they can reap benefits from it during their entire stay here. Nevertheless, ever since the word “Gym” was mentioned in the Acorn this year, the Senior class has been continually boosting. As a means of making the matter as live as possible and to bring it permanently before the minds of the students and public, an appro- priation from the class treasury was voted for the purchase of “Boost- ers' buttons” to be generously distrbuted and worn. Furthermore, it was decided to appropriate all the surplus in our treasury at the end of the year to the gymnasium fund. Just how much there will be is hard to estimate. Now the sum on hand reaches beyond the $100 mark, and to this will be added the success from the class play to be given in the Ogden Theater Tuesday evening, May 31. The class dramatic company has been at work ever since the Washington party, February 18, and promises to stage the best Senior play ever presented from the Academy. CLASS OFFICERS. Lawrence W.

On the night of January 21. 1910, one of the most successful dances held in the Weber Academy was given by the Juniors. Dan- cing was at a premium, the hall being crowded to its capacity. The decorations were in class colors and were very attractive. We recommend this motto for dances: “Work and Boost and Success follows.” ATHLETICS, RAH! RAH! RAH! The Junior class saw the need of encouraging and boosting track athletics in our school and on the morning of February 16, 1910, they presented to the students of the Academy a beautiful silver loving cup, which is to be held by the class winning the inter-class track meet for a period of one year or until taken away by a new champion. May our coach have better and more material to pick from and may his final team be ever victorious is the desire of class 11. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” THE V? ACORN 29 In our school activities, such as basket-ball, track, debating and dramatics, a final team or troupe is picked from the many contest- ants who represent every class. The Junior class this year had the honor of supplying these different activities with most of its mem- bers. In basket-ball we supplied three men out of a team of five, on the track out ol a team of ten we will furnish four or five, in debating out of a team of five, three are Juniors, in dramatics out of a troupe of seven we supplied two of the leading characters. We aim not to brag, but we are proud to say that when it comes to a contest of choosing boys and girls on their merits to represent our school in contests with other high schools, or to appear before the public, class ’ll furnishes the leaders. 30 THK £ ACORN We say to the W.

Individual work of all kinds is done by the students, beginning with the simple models and gradually advancing in the art until they are proficient enough to accomplish the most useful articles that are necessary for home life. 'Phe work of the department is under the supervision of two ex- perienced instructors, thus giving advantage to the girls in all branches of sewing. It is not the aim of the course to graduate proficient seam- stresses, but rather to so educate pupil that they may be able to make the most of themselves in any one of the many lines into which opportunity and their capacity may lead them. It is a fact that per- fect drafting of the most satisfactory needlework are done with the greatest ease by those pupils who have taken a course of sewing and garment cutting.
