He was on his way to the city of Melburg to attend to some business for his father. The rays of the rising sun seemed to play tag with the shadows among the grass and flowers near his feet. A cool breeze, carrying the odor of clover blossoms was blowing very gently. Overhead among the branches of the irees were birds, cooing and calling to their mates and occasionally a butterfly or buzzing bee few past. In fact, everything seemed endowed with life and activity. Still none of these things were noticed by Marvin as he walked slowly along, for he was buried in thought. Marvin had attended the Melburg High School for three years and was now working to obtain money to carry him through the remaining year. During the past week he had been offered a position by a large business firm of the city. This, to his father and many of his friends, was an opportunity which he should grasp. Marvin realized that it was a great chance to work his way up in the business world, but there seemed to be lots to lose. He knew that if he accepted the offer his school days would be over and the ques- tion that lie was debating in his mind as he walked to the station was: Which is the greater opportunity? While he was thinking of school a mental picture framed in his mind. It was commencement time and the school auditorium was beautifully decorated. On one side of the stage was a bower made of red and white roses, his class colors. Beneath it he saw his classmates who were participating in the commencement Puge 11 I V || Sfte acorn' exercises, but there was no place there for him. lie stared into space as if looking at the real picture. “Pshaw, he murmured as he shrugged his shoulders and pressed forward with rapid strides. “How foolish of me. That will only be one night and it is all for show anyway. Just think how much ahead of them I will be at that time if I accept the position.” lie stepped aboard the electric car and was soon on his way to the city. As it was early when he arrived, the morning hours afforded him time enough to complete his business and he found that he had the afternoon before him for recreation. Consequently he entered the studio of a famous sculptor. He wandered about the long room ad- miring the different models. There were faces and forms which showed great intellectual development—some which possessed quali- ties of great physical strength, while others portrayed simplicity and loveliness. Standing back by itself in a darkened corner of the room, he found an unfinished model, lie gazed upon the beautiful face which almost seemed to possess a soul, so well had nature been in- terpreted and he wondered why it had not been finished that people might admire it. “You admire the face. said a voice breaking in upon the undis- turbed thoughts of the boy. Marvin turned with a start to find the old master standing by him. Yes, very much. lie answered as he looked into the old man’s face. It was one that showed wonderful creative power, but more than anything else—persistence. “But why has this model never been finished? inquired the young man. The master gazed up into the face some moments, then said: 1 hat face was made by a young artist who tired of his work before it was completed. Something that he considered to be a greater op- portunity led him away from his work here. He alone knows the lorm that corresponds to that face and I am waiting and hoping that hr will return to make the model ready for the world. lie paused a few moments, then added in a sad tone. “He failed to use the oppor- tunity given him and consequently his work is unfinished. As Marvin heard these words, his face brightened and a sigh of reliri escaped from his lips. He felt as if a weight had suddenly been lifted from his mind, for it was then clear to him which opportunity was greater. “Yes, he exclaimed aloud, “1 will finish my school model first.” Weber aims to promote the spiritual moral and physical develop- ment as well as the intellectual side of her students. No one can at- tend the institution for any length of time without partaking of its spirit. We will commence our vacation this year fresh from Weber’s in- fluence. We will be known as students of the Academy and we must conduct ourselves as such. Our actions advertise Weber more than anything else. Let us as Weber’s students be careful in selecting our associates as well as our associations. If we frequent pool halls, cigar stores or places of ill repute, we take dear old Webers name in with us, and the Academy will be judged accordingly. When we show a willingness to attend and keep the laws of Weber we take upon ourselves the responsibility of upholding her name and keeping above reproach. We have been honored by visits from some of the leading men of our church, as well as prominent educational men of our state. Each speaker has tried to impress the truths that our school teaches and we should show our appreciation to our visitors and the faculty by putting these things into practice. Let us make use of the advantages we have at the Academy and remember that the world judges Weber by the students who attend, and the graduates who are sent out from under her influence. Boost! boost! boost! for Weber and the gymnasium, t'sc all of ihe influence you have to increase the Academy’s popularity. Talk to your friends and sing Weber’s praises to every one. Do not pub- lish her faults, but work silently to overcome her weaknesses and re- member only the good. “Seek and ye shall find.’’ If you seek for bad you will find it; if you seek for good, you will find more of it than evil, every time. Do this and Weber will always remain the best school of its kind on the earth. Boyd Lindsay Classical ] gfte ACORN Page 14- Mingles with tlie friendly bowl The feast of reason and the How of soul.

Page 25 ye ACORN Cfte Jfuture of tfje Class ’13 The following is a story which was found in an old note book be- longing lo Janette Downs. It is dated June 3. 1934. I sat by ilie fireside one evening thinking of my school friends, especially those of the class of 13. li was twenty years since we had graduated and I decided to go back to Ogden to see if 1 could find any of them. When I arrived there three weeks later. I was almost lost. Every- thing was strange and upon looking around I found that 1 did not know one person and no one knew me. 1 went into the depot and sat down. I suppose 1 must have looked dejected, for a man walked up to me and asked if I were in trouble, lie looked so kind and pleas- ant that 1 told him 1 was looking for some of my old '13 friends. Well, this is funny,” he exclaimed, I am Boyd Lindsay, the president of that same class.” 1 was very pleased to see him again and began to ask questions concerning some of the class, lie told me that he was the head of a large Women’s Furnishing Department store in the city. Ina, Bertha and Viola, until recently, lived on the sand ridge, where they conducted an “Old Maid’s Ranch.” Scott Taggart, an eminent vocal music teacher, who had been hired to give lessons to the parrot, succeeded in capturing the heart of Bertha. The other two girls have evidently given up all hopes and have become notorious suffragettes. Ben and Verna Henderson are at present visiting Scott and Bertha. Ben is a conductor on the O. S. L. railroad and is taking his lay-off now.” “Then there is Leonard Anderson, who is a congressman. Dave and Jack Eccles have become famous through their airship line from Hooper to Roy.” Just then the train whistled and Boyd ran to catch it. 1 walked up the street and finally came to the Weber Academy. I was met at the door by the principal of the school. 11 is voice sounded familiar and upon asking his name 1 found that he was Jesse Cottle. ” ould you like to meet our teachers.” he asked—“perhaps you may know some of them.” M e went to the Domestic Science rooms, where Ei'fie Allen was piesiding; and to Room I, where Lloyd Millar was instructing a class ot hreshmen in Latin. At the office I was introduced to Coach Arias •elnap. Of course. 1 was not at all surprised to see him in that posi- t,0n Jl,st then a beautifully dressed lady rushed into the office. Her appearance created a disturbance and her style of dress would cause 0[ S u? ACORN Page 26 one to think that she was a woman of wealth. She flirted with all the boys, and even with the principal. Imagine my surprise when I learned this woman to be Mabel Kirie! In the Assembly Hall. Weltha Wilson was teaching a class in dancing. W hen Jesse called the teachers from room 11 1 recognized Arba McGregor and Karen Coombs. They were conducting the Kin- dergarten training class. During the remainder of the day I visited the Senior English class that was in charge of Leon Cowles, the son of our dear English teacher. In charge of the Chemistry class was W eber Henderson, and in Botany, the class was studying the alterna- tion of generations of Isoetes Echinaspora. Arba had a little shopping to do after school and I accompanied her. Hanging in front of the little store on the corner of Twenty- fourth street and Jefferson avenue was an ensign advertising Brown's confection. “Did you know.” said Arba, “that Harold and Ora Brown own that store? They bought it from 'Pom just after they returned from their honeymoon in Brigham City.” Xear the old Catholic church we passed Victor Belnap, chief of Ogden's police, and Marcellus Chard, the great psychologist from Har- vard. who was studying the psychological situation of a recent mur- der. Just behind them we passed Leantine Barker, the President of the Stake Relief Society, and Lillian Griffin, the matron of the Orphans’ Home. We noticed a sign on the building, where Ford’s studio had been. It read: A. Stallings—Y. Xielson I lairdressing Par- lor. anything in the line of switches, rats, puffs and rolls—we can match any color. We arrived at Arba’s home at about 7 o’clock, tired from walk- ing around; but someone suggested that we go to the theatre. In the theatre I sat next to a small dark complexioned man. When I spoke to Arba again this gentleman turned quickly and to my aston- ishment Morgan McKay spoke to me. Why, Morgan.” I exclaimed, still vexed, “what has happened?” I am the inventor of the ‘Human Shrinking Machine’ and 1 have been renovated.” “L’-tah-na chocolates. Brown’s confection and chewing gum. yelled the peanut-butcher as he came down the aisles: and as he neared us he exclaimed: “I perceive that you people have come here to enjoy the performance. and to me, “I feel greatly multiplied by learning your acquaintance. This remark of the impudent ‘kandy kid’ told me that it was Spencer Heincr. 'Phc curtain went up; there sat Henry Burnett, lie took the part of the villain, while Ella and Myrtle Manning figured in the leading Page 27 s C8 « ACORN role of “The Twins. During one of the intermissions, who should appear on tlie stage but Mme. Minnie Xelson as sword dancer. In the waiting room Lloyd Millar introduced me to his wife. Pearl 0. Millar and President Harold Richards of Yale, who was attending the A. E. K. T. convention at Riverdale. On the edge of the sidewalk stood a man yelling, in a very melodi- ous tone of voice. Hot Tamales, Red Hot Coney Islands, Red Hot.” While we were talking about this man another poorly-dressed man came shuffling along, bumped into the Hot Tamale man’s cart and sent his wares rolling into the gutter. This was more than he could stand, and he struck the man, knocking him to the pavement. A scuttle ensued, but was stopped by a policeman, and the smaller man, R. Tanner, the cobbler, was taken to jail for disturbing the peace. I y this time my vague recollection of a person who possessed a simi- lar voice had formed into a picture and I could see Lloyd Taggart. The confusion had ceased and after I had made myself acquainted, Lloyd Taggart told me that Violet Cragun had married his Brother Bruce, and the couple were living on the Bar ranch in Wyoming. He also told me that Gladys Stratford eloped with Male Watson and now she is taking in washing to support him. Louis Schelin and Olive Tracy live together. Louise is the pro- prietor of the City Floral Company and Olive is the great Mormon Authoress. Countess Zina Bens, who is touring Hooper for the last time, is visiting with them. Nothing more was said until wc came to the Tonks-VVardleigh Chop Sucy shop. M e stopped for a moment and saw Guy Toone waiting on the people to the tune of “The Weeping-Willow Sway.” Lynne Lundberg’s latest sacred composition. Bob Jones, the present Mayor of Huntsville, has arranged with Arwell McKay, through our noted statesman, Yandy Layman, to bring Lundberg’s celebrated, world-famous band to his city. George Grant went to Alaska two years ago to search for gold atid it is reported that he is one of the richest men of that country. Laurel Brown is making his living as a barber and. of course, Iree helps him. One of the members of the class has been fortunate enough to go to Europe. Rhea Stevens went to Paris four years ago and is now one °f the Paris Fashion models. 1 hen comes Vadal Peterson, with his M. M. degree, from the 1 niversity in the “Woods of Huntsville.

The class of '14 is trying to change this to a certain extent. What we want to outdo them in is along the social line. The decorations are going to be simple and artistic, which will make a very pleasing effect in the hall. On April 18 one of the most successful parties of the year was given in our hall by the Junior class. The thing that made it such a great success was the fact that there were no wall flowers. That is what we are trying to do—have the parties for everybody and not for a few. It is not without regret that we are about to leave school for our vacation, but we will never forget the school year of '12 and '13. It has brought hard lessons, many victories and lots of fun and we feel that it has been well spent. Two years ago last September We entered this school to learn, Of course, we were only Fresh men And. they said, were “too green to burn. ' Since then we have steadily traveled. O’er many a rocky way Until now. you sec. we are Juniors. And bound to have our own way. As Freshmen we made good records, As Sophs, we did better still. And all through the school year of ‘13. We’ve been earnestly climbing the hill. We've one year more here at Weber Before we can hope to get through, So get in and work with all your might And you’ll get all that’s coming to you. We haven’t won many victories In our three years at this school, But the class that lias beaten us fairly Has had a hard time, as a rule. It's better to be a “good loser’' Than to be a “poor winner. they say, So in ali our defeats we keep smiling. And boosting for W. A. Page 31 | || Sftc ACORN 0ur Appreciation I. Our school has given us a real true friend. One whom we trust and love more than the rest.

Xow, Brother Cowles, to you we say good-bye: Remember us when you are far away. Our friendly love for you can never die. But shall increase with every passing day. 5SL 13 J0iun£ EC © e ACORN Page C54 O glorious clay! O happy day! On September next we will enter school as Juniors. Rejoice, O classmates, for then we shall cast aside the shackles of Sophomoredom and shall take upon our shoulders the responsibilities of being Juniors. Peep at that word again. Does it not have a soothing efYect upon a troubled spirit? Ah, yes, for it represents another s cp taken toward the goal of success for which we are striving with all our might. The Sophomores are anxiously waiting for the big event of the year—the interclass track meet. We have some good material which, if properly managed and developed, will bring honors to the class. There was music there was dancing in Weber's hall 'till late. For the simple little Freshmen Had won the great debate. Hut throughout the celebration While enjoyment bubbled o'er Theie came a sickening silence They beheld the ghost. Sophomore. The phantom called for silence The Freshmen left their game In a voice that shook with anger The vision did exclaim: ‘•Ye silly little Freshmen. No wonder that ye fear For those Sophomore debators Will defeat your team next year.'’ The vision slowly vanished In a dazzling, shining light And one by one those Freshmen Left the room in fright. £ opljomore Class Officers Myron McEntire Anna May Hunter Alma Packer election During the last month of the school year we hear the word elec- tion repeated so frequently that one would think the entire Student Body would become professional politicians during the summer. The Sophomores especially had to sit up and take notice. They all came to their last class meeting prepared to decide who was most efficient to “rake up” a few dollars to give the best Junior Prom ever given at Weber and someone who would see that the Juniors-elect will carry off the honors in debating, public speaking and everything else pos- sible. The election was a lively one. Everyone believed that he should do unto others as he would have them do unto him” and con- sequently nearly everyone in the class was nominated for an office. Jn all things there is a survival of the fittest. Therefore the elected offi- cers are: Lisle Bramwell .........................President Violet Anderson.................. N ice President Hugh Anderson Secretary and Treasurer £ opijomore Class Class Officers Our president is one of the best looking class officers in the school and. as this fact would augur, has a strong affection for the girls, lie has been of great aid to our class, having been a star player in our basket ball team, the school base- ball team and a worker on the track. Our vice-president has been an equally energetic worker in our class, lie has often taken the place of our good-looking president. Our secretary, being the only girl officer in the class, was quite naturally a little timid, but she kept the other officers good company. The debating manager of our class aided in getting the champion debating team of the school and therefore must be given due credit. Our manager of athletics, one of the brightest of the class, urged our boys onward to good work, which makes the future outlook bright. Although our yell master was rather silent, he was energetic in athletics. We still have some more to sav rcgaiding our class reporter. His excellent singing has been highly appicciated by the school and his work for tlie class has been well done. Rae Lofgreen Marie Denkers Vilate Frorer Debating: This is certainly a winning trio of bright-eyed debaters. The fact that they are all girls makes a lather poor showing for the boys. (Can you stand for this, boys?) Our debaters have often shown their ability in English class, which is the foundation of their fame. The expressions of their faces show that they are capable of making their points, clearly and forcibly. As evidence of this ability, notiee the cup that bears the name of the class of ‘1(5. 'Ve feel the importance of our place in the school not only because of the conspicuously large number of students in the class, but also because of the interest our class members have taken in school activities. Although we did not win the Xelson-Kasius medal, we believe we were suc- cessful, inasmuch as the contest instilled in the hearts of the competitors a greater desire to win next time.

Jfresfjmen Class SBHQQL NOTES Celebrations After the dual victory won by the Debating and Oratorical teams, the students could not resist the temptation of celebrating. The day was turned over to the student body, which proceeded to handle it right. A jolly good time and plenty of refreshments were indulged in by all who were present. We have had several such times as this during the year, because of the unparalleled success with which Weber has met in winning in- terscholastic contests. cbe ft. e. a. The fifty-first annual convention of the National Educational As- sociation will be held in Salt Lake City. L'tah. July 5 to 11. 1913. Educators and teachers from every state in the union will assemble to discuss subjects cf educational value. It is the aim of this associa- tion to improve our national educational system. On Wednesday, July 9, a sight-seeing trip will be made to the famous Ogden Canyon. The schools of the state arc going to display work from their various departments to give the visitors an idea of what L'tah schools are doing. Our students are working unceasingly to prepare papers, note books, themes, outlines, maps and other work to represent the various lines of work taught at Weber. A committee has been appointed from the faculty to take charge of the display and to see that the articles are safely returned to the students. .$egatfoe Debating Ceam Lorenzo Richards Cora Kasius Vera Tracy | 11 Sftc ACORN Class Seating Page 4-4- | When the first came last, and the last came first. Who won from the Seniors? Juniors. How did that happen? We couldn’t tell you. But the greatest surprise came when the Freshmen put one over on the Juniors. Remarkable! Never before in the history of the school has anything of the kind happened. The surprise and admiration of the other classes were so great that all they could do in the midst of their wonder was to say, “Hurrah for the Freshmen.” if they can place their numerals on the cup. their first year at school. .hat will they do the fourth? The series of interclass debates took place in the following order: First—Benjamin Henderson. Mablc Ririe and David Fletcher of the class of '13. Lorenzo Richards. Vera Tracy and Glenard Gould of the class of ’14. Second—Vilate Froror, Ray Lofgreen and Marie Denkers of the class of '16. Cora Kasius, Milton Marble and Jennie Campbell of the class of ’15. Third—Lorenzo Richards. Vera Tracy and Gleanrd Gould vs. Ray Lofgreen, Volate Froror and Marie Denkers. The question debated was: “Resolved, That the controversy be- tween the United States and Great Britain relative to Panama canal tolls should be arbitrated by the Hague Tribunal.” All the debators handled the subject well and unusual interest was taken in the inter- class debates. A great deal of splendid material and talent was brought to light which helped the committee in making a careful selec- tion for our school teams. After the inter-class debates were over the debators who were to represent the school commenced to work for the big contest with High School which came off a few weeks later. If ever Weber de- served to win anything it was this debate. ikfjool Betmtmg Page 5 HC Sfte ACORN The year 1912-1913 has been a record-breaking one for Weber along the line of debating, in so much that the team now stands but one step from the state championship. The final debate with a south- ern school will be held at Salt Lake City in the near future. On the night of April 25 the two Weber debating teams met the two from the Ogden High School and were successful in winning one of the two debates. Since the two schools tied for the honors of the division it was necessary to call another debate to decide the winner. This was held on the night of May 3 and resulted in a victory for Weber by a decision of 3-0. Weber was represented in this contest by Cora Kasios, Benjamin Henderson and Lorenzo Richards, and was now in line to enter the semi-finals for the state championship. Accordingly the four divisions of the state were made into two, the northern being represented by the Latter-Day Saints High School and Weber Academy. On the evening of May 10 the representative team from the Weber Academy, consisting this time of but two mem- bers; Henderson and Richards traveled to Salt Lake City, where they met and defeated the strong team from the L. 1). S. This debate was not so interesting as the others were, on account of there being no clash of opinion. It finally resolved itself into the issue of which team was begging the question. The Weberites were successful in showing the judges that they were right. A decision of 2 to 1 was rendered in favor of Weber. The success which has been attained is largely due to the excel- lent training given by Coach Peter Kasius, one of our loyal Alumni members. Page 47 | || Sfte ACORN g cf)ool Visitors Aside from the excellent course of study, the student of Weber Academy receives many other advantages that are not accorded to every high school student. From time to time during the entire school year we have had men and women of state-wide reputation to address us. Among those who have been here recently are Mr. Mor- ton of Salt Lake City, Prof. Minkley of Provo, and Mrs. Law, who is a well-known reformer and rescue worker. Cupid has been very busy this year at Weber. Two of our prom- inent Seniors, Ora Ensign and Harold Brown have been struck so hard by love's dart, that they surprised their friends by quietly getting married. May success and happiness always be theirs. 31 K!HeU g pent £3ap When Professor Henderson announced that we would be ex- pected to attend school on Arbor day, our holiday hopes and plans faded from view.

Most of the students spent the afternoon on the foothills. (gymnasium Just one last parting word about the gymnasium. They say it is to be a reality and next year the public will be reaping the benefits. At present there is much competition between (). II.

On March 31 the Oratorical and declamation contest between Weber and the Ogden High Shool was held to determine who was to represent Ogden at Salt Lake City. Weber representatives had been carefully selected and we hoped to win some of the honors of the day. We were unsuccessful, however, and returned home rather disheart- ened, but with the determination to turn the tables next time. Those who participated for Weber were Miss Odessa llcnnigcr and Mary Jacobs for declamation; Boyd Lindsay and Lorenzo Richards for oratory. Their efforts were appreciated, though they did not win the decision of the judges. fcinbergarten 1—Lamonte Ponlter. 2—Edna Rowe. 3—Dean Bingham. 4—Rhea Farr. 5—Pearl Tracy. - Let.tie Montgomery. 7—Hazel Bens. 8—Thersa Chadwick. 9—Bene Rollins. 10'—Ida Parker. 11—Rose Butler. 12—Lillie Clark. 13—Harmana Sander. 14—Mabel Bingham. 15—Elizabeth Butler. 16—lone Bailey. 17—Florence Whitaker.

The object of this course was to give training to prospective teachers in the Kindergarten departments of the Sunday School. The class started with the regu- lar second semester and lasted eight weeks, closing the 20th of March. L nder the direction of Miss Bessie Spencer, the class of thirty-six girls received the most careful instruction. Miss Spencer's knowledge of her subjects as well as her experience made the work very inter- esting. The following program was carried out each day: 1. Outlining. 2. Theology. 3. Songs and games. 4. Helps for teachers. 5. Stories and story telling. 6. Froebel’s Mother plays. We sincerely hope the Kindergarten will be an established course in the school, for we realize the great benefit it will be to the future generations. The students of the class '13 have indeed been a credit to the Weber Academy from the time they entered the institution The Seniors have always set the example to the school; they have done their share of the work, and lent assistance to those who needed it. Juniors. Sophomores and Freshmen, congratulate them on their success and wish them well in their journey through life. Our beloved Professor Cowles left us on April 11 to continue his studies at the University of Chicago. We have missed his smiling face and his helpful suggestions more than we can tell. The faculty and students join in wishing him every success in life and his school work and hope that he will return to take up his work again next fall. We are indeed glad that he could leave so good a substitute as his wife in his place.

When the team was chosen these players were selected to represent Weber. This season the basket-ball team of the Weber Academy made a wonderful record. The State Championship adds much to make it wonderful. Fourteen games were played, and of these, twelve were won. Both games that were lost were played with teams in the Col- lege class, namely, the I . V. I', of Provo and the Salt Lake V. M. C. A. 'Phe latter team was defeated at Weber. Not one high school in the state can boast of a victory over the Academy quintet. 'Phis is the first time in the history of the school that such a record has been made. Nearly all games were won by large majorities, as the total of 621 points scored by Weber, compared with 306 points made by op- ponents. would indicate. In all preliminary and league games the highest score made against Weber was 18. while Weber's lowest score was 19. When the state tournament ended the records showed an average score of 46 to 30 in favor of Weber. 'Phe quintet that represented the school received much credit for their good playing, and for their good conduct. Spectators have com- mented upon Weber's team work, for the passing was so fast and snappy that their opponents could hardly follow the ball. When playing the I� . V. C.. a spectator said: “Well. Weber has sure got some team. If it wasn’t for our men's size we would get walloped, for they simply bewilder our boys by their fast passing.” At another game this remark was made: 'Pile team work! the team work! That was the thing which did it.” Heard during the game with Lehi at Provo: Can you beat it. did you ever see the ball fiy around like that before? The Saints’ fans were saying: My, but our boys have got to play! Just look at that ball go. A faculty member of the B. Y. l said: That Weber team is one of the best all-around teams that I have ever seen.” Not only were they praised for good playing, but they were also admired for their good conduct. 'Phis was expressed in one remark from Mr. Roberts at the hotel in Provo to Coach Mc- Kay: You have the best behaving bunch of boys on your team that has ever stayed here. Weber may be proud f her team for their work and for the name that has been given to the school bv their clean work as athletes. 'Phe athletes are pleased to think that they brought honor to the school. But never forget, while singing praises to the state champions, that here is another year coming that must be cared for.

During past years the national game has not received much support from the school. The different classes or- ganized teams to play among themselves, but this kind of playing has not been very successful. 'I'his year Weber’s Coach has had a septad of men out nearly every afternoon. Prom these he has organized a school baseball team. A city league has been organized and Weber’s nine is among the contestants for a beautiful loving cup. Coach McKay has a good team, notwithstanding the fact that one man has been declared ineligible and three others have discontinued school. Lon Perrin and Herberts have proved their worth as catchers. Scott Taggart has shown class as a pitcher. 1’eterson, Weber’s star first baseman, was declared ineligible and McCuistain discontinued school, thereby making it hard for Weber to retain a first baseman. Von Pelnap played this position in the last game and did good work. Dave Farrell discontinued school and left second base unoccupied. A. P.elnap. who has been helping as pitcher, took this station in charge and is taking good care of it. Layman holds the shortstop position and plays it well. He is also handy with the stick. Leu Anderson is Weber’s little third baseman. A better man can not be found. Pas- sett. Monson and Croft occupy the field. They are workers who can corner all kinds of flies, and scoop up the grounders. Toone. Lloyd and 1 truce Taggart play as utility men. The team as a whole is well bal- anced. W e regret very much the loss of Si Perrin, a very good slab artist. Dave Farrell. McCuistain and Peterson. As duty at home has called them from us, we must make the best use of our other material. Of the four games played, but one has been lost. In the first game the State School for the Deaf was defeated. 8 to 5. When this paper went to press the second game with the deaf boys had been in- definitely postponed. The State Industrial School has been defeated twice. The first time by a score of 9 to 1. The second game was the best played in the league and resulted in another victory for Weber. 'Pile score was 2 to 1. The game lost was played with the Ogden High School. Webei was easily defeated, as the boys were taken by surprise. The score was 14 to 7. It is to be hoped that when these teams meet again Weber will win. The bovs are determined to win. for by so doing they will bring that silver loving cup to Weber. “Look here now.

The school aims to train students in habits of self control and self direction to prepare them to be self-gov- erning men and women. It seeks to give the student the ability to live truly. It not only attempts to train the brain and hand but also includes efficient moral training: through the awakening of right feeling, the quickening of the conscience, the enlightening of the judgment and the training of the will to act habitually from high and worthy motives. The courses of study arc as follows: A four-year Scientific course. A four-year Normal course. A four-year Commercial course. A four-year Domestic Arts and Science course. A four-year Mechanic Arts course. A two-year Business course. A one-term Sunday School course. The Academy offers all the regular courses prescribed in the High School curriculum; and these are so arranged as to prepare the student for advanced work in the higher institutions of learning. The credits gained from com- pleting any of the above courses including two years of Theology are accepted without question in any college or university throughout the United States. “SAVING IS THE FIRST GAIN”—proverb A small leak will sink a great ship—preparation for con- tingencies will often provide the means of saving life, and be a buffer against unseen misfortune and storm. Safely harboring the cargo of life’s savings should represent one's greatest care. Man needs, every day, and any day, the safety and con- veniences of the bank.
