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.

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.”
