This brings the college class to the final spurt of trying to gather enough hours’ credit together to pass St. Peter, in the form of Bro. Dixon, and land a seat and a diploma with the graduates. The guardians of our destiny have been rather stern this year and so it is that the last day comes with ink-stained fingers and eyes like owls. 'Die Seniors in their smug complaisance superinduced by the holding of a letter from the graduating committee are indulg- ing in day dreams instead of work. We hope they will continue in these childish but pleasant dreams until next September, when they awake in Weber or some other institution. But, to come back to earth and more important subjects, ourselves. During the year we have studied hard and diligently even if we won't get an A. B. If we don't come up to the standard it's no fault of the college faculty. The huge economic books we have carried in our minds have had a deadly influence on us, but this deadly malady has been successfully combatted in wild bursts of joy. Our several parties have been variable in place, form of entertainment and those present. But just one word to the rising generation: A bonfire party with plenty of “eats is the best get-acquainted method in the world. The participators in these simple joys include representatives from High School, Canada and Idaho, as well as from Weber. So think about it, students, and come back next year and see what pleasant surprises may be in store for you in the form of new college students. These notes draw near a close even as the school year has done. But the best, the last. Mr. Dixon leaves the school this year to accept a higher position. As has been said in other places his going will be a great loss to the school. Everyone in the school appreciates his efforts, but it is the college who will feel the heaviest loss. Mr. Dixon in his daily work in classes has given us a splendid opportunity to know the splendid friend and teacher that he is. As a class we want to thank Mr. Dixon for the work in the college department and the interest he has taken in the welfare of the class and to let him know that we appreciate his efforts and thank him for them. We wish him the best of luck in his new position. To Mr. Savage, next year's head of the college department, we wish to offer all the support we may be able to give and to wish him the best of success in his studies at Chicago.

Adios The Class of 1918 has for four years been making a name for itself and dear old Weber but must now say good-bye. From the time we were green little Freshmen, trying to avoid being thrown down coal chutes, having our faces painted green and our hair shaved off, until the present we have had an enjoyable time that we shall not soon forget. Under the leadership of the capable officers we have always chosen we have given parties and trips so original and pleasurable that they will ever be memorable in the school’s history. As in all other branches of study our dramatics excelled. In short, nothing that we have ever attempted has been a failure, due to the fact that every member has given the class his loyal support. We sincerely regret that we are leaving Weber and although our ways may henceforth be divided, we shall always be guided by the influence of our school days. We wish to extend to our school- mates, the Juniors in particulur, our hearty appreciation of their final efforts to make our last days at school a joyous memory to us. It is now our duty to say farewell to our happy school days, for this critical period of the world demands capable men and women. To that end we must fit ourselves, and with this we must bid adieu to our Alma Mater. % % % Ogden, Utah, May 20, 1912. Dear Old Friends: I happened to be visiting this town at the time when the An- nual Commencement exercises of Dear Old Weber were being held and so I made it a point to go and endeavor to awaken a few reminiscences. 1 walked up Twenty-fifth street and on the intersection of Lin- coln avenue I was confronted with a large sign which read: “Chas. II. Linford, Reliable Loan Office, Money to Loan, etc. This was a gentle reminder of Charles’ career as business manager of the 85 Herald. At Grant and Twenty-fifth 1 met Ellis Barker, all dolled up in white, pushing a chariot. I arrived on Washington avenue and was not surprised when I saw a sign, which read: “Williard Doxey, Manufacturing Optician.” I stepped inside and received a very cordial welcome from the manager himself, who said that Mary, a family of six, and himself, were living prosperously and happily together. That evening I went to the Commencement exercises. They were very interesting because of the fact that many of the graduates were children of the Class of '18. The first was Cyril Brown, Jr., who imparted the knowledge that his father Cy” was peacefully supporting a family of ten on a farm in Hooper. He also said that his Aunt Lucile was teaching school in West Ogden. Mr. and Mrs. Doxey were very enthusiastic in their applause when Mary, Jr., received her reward. Leo Crandall, Jr., then came forward while a crimson blushing pride swept Gyn’s face. Miss Jean Blakely was next honored and was emphatically cheered from the section of the house in which her worthy parents sat. Russell Petty, Jr., was the next name called. He was valedictorian, winner in the Rich contest, president of the Student Body, and the pride of Russ and Joe. After the exercises I talked with him and learned the following: Malcolm Watson, Jr., was all-state guard on Weber’s state championship basketball team. This was the fifteenth state championship Weber had won since 1918. I was about to leave when I found my hand clasped in that of Andy Kasius. We soon began to talk about the old class, wondering where each were, when who should bump into us but 0. F. Beal, Jr., who was doing some social research work, studying the results of a high school education. From him we got a complete history of our old classmates, their whereabouts, circumstances, financial con- ditions, etc. Bertha Barker, Elnora Browning, Mary Ernstrom, Vera Hinck- ley, Dorothy Maw and Lucile Scott were teaching school in the small settlements of Weber county. Gordon Croft was earning S75 per month teaching Boy Scouts in Provo. Melbourne Douglas had married a traveling actress, whom he later ditched, and was last heard of pressing clothes in a tailor shop in Seattle. Ken Weaver was a bartender in Evanston, the only “wet” town in the United States. Bertha Farley fell for a traveling salesman and is living on Fifth avenue in New York City. Art Linford is coach at the Dummies. Douglas Lcishman is running for ambassador to Ger- many on the Socialist ticket. Lucin Owens went to war and married a French girl and stayed in Europe. Dale Phillips is editing an almanac, advertising a substitute for Cascarets, in a small town in Texas. Lowell Ridges is playing the solo horn part in Sousa’s hand. Lottie Ririe is on the stage. Cream Steele, with Jack Wright, are peddling patent bottle nipples in Alaska. Ern Shreeves is coach at the high school. Orla Shu rl I iff was sent on a mission to the South Sea Islands, but was unable to withstand the alluring characteristics of the pretty Hula maids, and after a thrilling escapade with one, was cut off the church and hasn’t been heard of since. Lizzie Stratford is president of the Relief Society in Huntsville. Virginia Stevens is the successor of Madam Grey in the hairdressing parlors. Lucile Thomas, with Skagg, are living at Plain City, running a branch of the Skagg Cash System. Czar Winters is keeping Ruth in rouge and powder by running a picture show in Garland. On the adieu of Madam Borggny Hammer, Mary Woolley began playing the role of llcdda Gabbler, but is now cabret dancing in Boston. This was nearly a complete list and we were proud that we were members of such a worthy class. I asked Andy what he was doing and lie said lie had bought his father out, making a higher bid than either Pete or Bill, and he and Rose and five were living comfortably. 1 told him that after Lucile and myself had eloped, we settled down until I was made cattle buyer of the Ogden Packing Company, but since then we have done extensive traveling in Ogden Valley. I was then shown through Weber's gym. which is the largest and best equipped gym ever built. Hoping ibis will find you and yours 0. K. and ready to participate in a class reunion, which I hope can be held in the near future, I remain yours for friendship, Ray Lindsay. P. S.—I thought you might be interested to know that T. Earl Pardoe, our old class adviser, now owns the Rex and Lyceum theatres. Vilatk Jacobs Vice President Russel Pmv President Josephine Volkek Secretary and Treasurer Juniors Ji .mors—the name alone makes all llie other classes shake, for when they participate in any amusements or contests they always take the lead. We have had a year of great success, with the assistance of our class advisor, William McKay. He is known by his ability in the past record as a true sport. The first part of the year a big event “memorable” to the school was the Junior carnival, this suggesting that the Juniors were not dead. Through the cleverness of the Junior boosters a play which surprised the students was given in Taylor, December 5. The Juniors were the first to participate in the initiation of the Fine Arts room in the form of “fancy stepping” and light refresh- ments. Before departing each enjoyed a tempting dish of noodles at a popular “noodle joint. The interclass debate between the Junior team and the Sopho- mores was held in February, the debaters on the Junior team being Russell Petty and David McKay and those on the Sophomore team being Clarence Brown and William Kasius. The next morning in devotional, Brother Kasius presented to the Juniors the silver loving cup to have their “19” enumerated thereon. David McKay came forward and gave a speech of grati- tude, expressing hope that we could retain the cup. 'fhe Junior Prom which was given in the Berthana Wednesday evening, April 17th, proved to be the most enjoyable and successful event of the season. About BOO Weber students and selected public danced until a late hour to the strains of Lillian Thatcher’s orchestra. 32 TINY TWICE Sir Russell a«o job CATHOLIC CONVENT mSEEZ.

W e feel that we have progressed far beyond our fondest hopes, that we have passed an important mile- post of accomplishment during our sojourn here. Monday, October 30, 1917, saw the beginning of numerous parties, socials, dances, etc., given by the Class of '20. That night we journeyed to Taylor's Canyon for a bonfire party, and we had some time. We spent the evening in having the lime of our lives, singing and telling ghost stories to the girls. The class gave two dances. The first was a Thanksgiving dance, and the other was the best matinee of the year. Both proved to be financially as well as socially successful. We held our elass parly Januan lllh in the Fine Arts room. We spent part of the lime i:i dancing and the remainder in some live games that Professor Young introduced. The way the punch dis- appeared showed that some of the fellows were getting rather dry. In school activities the Sophs have made a creditable showing. We won third place in extempo and second in debating. We are proud of our debating stars. Brown and Kasius. They won the unanimous decision of the judges in debate with the Freshies, and though they were defeated by the Juniors we feel honored to have such fellows represent us. Our elass showed a great deal of interest in the debates and the extempo contests. When the Acorn went to press the Sophomores were working hard to make the elass play. Hicks at College,” a huge success. It was a three-act comedy-drama of college life at Northern University. The leading parts were taken by John Croft as Hicks, Stanley Rhees as Toni Horton. Clifford Doxey as Fritz Jordan and Ida Scowcroft and Gay Miller as June and Flora, respectively.

Heal, the class of twenty- one journeyed up the hill to join the Weherites in exceeding great numbers. And behold, there was not such a talented class throughout the school. Yea, they did mind their own business exceeding well until the clouds of basketball hung o'er them, when out of the deep sleep of the upperclassmen, the Seniors realized that a great blow had fallen upon them. For the great class of twenty-one had whipped them with exceeding soreness. And it came to pass in the course oi the basketball season, the Sophs also received the same treatment at their hands. And it came to pass that the championship rested with the Juniors and twenty-one. And behold, the Juniors waxed to exceeding great strength, and by chance won the game. Hut behold, Claude L. and Fee 1). of twenty- one were received with great joy on the first team. And this class, thinking it time to have joy, gathered themselves together in the great Weber Auditorium, and did dance and make merry throughout the evening. They did drink the soup with ex- ceeding great joy. as it was after August first. And lo! the extempo contests came, and the Seniors barely escaped with the championship, as this great class did pursue them vigorously. . . And it came to pass in the course of events, this great class did lead them all. . . Yea, the upperclassmen did cry mightily unto them, to know from whence their talent came, but of no avail. . . And thus ended the first year of the class that set a new pace in the history of Weber. ME SAW A GROUND HOGS FUTURE MISSIONARIES IT SHOOTS A CORN.

WlLKINSKN President Czar Winters Secretary-T re usurer Authority Centralized The Student Body is the one organization of which every student is a member. From its very nature, therefore, it is the hub of the school of activities. This year, however, because of the in- stituting of the Student Body Finance Board, has really witnessed the centralization of ail departments—the student body now having, through its authorized agencies, complete jurisdiction over all organi- zations and activities. This continual growth and ripening maturity of our present from of student organization, at a time when it has had to live or die” through its own initiative, is a tribute to those who were responsible for its inauguration. That the student body has lived—and that the activities it has fostered have proved both true enjoyment and substantial develop- ment to its members— is attested in part, by the many contests, socials and organizations reported in this Souvenir, all of which were subservient to the Student Body. All regular Weber student alTa irs have been held. Funds have been raised for Liberty Bonds, the Bed Cross, the Y. M. C. A., W. S. S. All patriotic movements have been given the unqualified support of this organization. The firm foundation already laid warrants the prediction that Weber’s Student Body shall always progress, for it is larger than any one person or group of individuals. 4ft iTTTTTTXTTJTTJT; mnixm 1 m C.vmi'iiki.i President I.OWKI.I. Kiih.o (ire President 'Hie third year of tile Public Service Bureau has been a tre- mendous success because of the able efforts of its officers. They have put forth a conscientious effort to make the influence of this organi- zation felt over the whole town—and have been successful. The name of this organization typifies its object or motive, which is to render service to the public. The season's work was started by extending to all Bishop’s in Weber County a cordial invitation to call on this Bureau for pro- grams. This was taken advantage of by all wards, and on numerous occasions pleasing and instructive programs have been rendered by our students. Programs have also been furnished for the Hospital and Industrial school. At mid-year the registration of the Student Body was greatly increased. This was duo to the fact that the advantages offered by Weber were effectively shown to the grade student by the Public Service Bureau officers. They circulated letters explaining in detail why Weber is the only worthy school in Ogden. A copy of the Weber Herald was given to each graduating grade student to show one of the progressive activities of Weber. In organizing this bureau the Student Body made a most pro- gressive move. It is the best advertisement possible for Weber. Instructive, interesting programs are easily obtainable by any assembly, while the students taking part on the programs receive invaluable experience in appearing before the public. The officers for next year are very capable students and the success which has been so evident this year is sure to be the result next year. w _ x- ,c : 5- JOSKPIIINK Voi.KER Secretary-Treasurer Mary Woolley President Cleone Lindsay Pice President Girls Association The Gikls Association was organized last year for the purpose of manifesting a “get-together spirit, as well as to create sundry amusements. The first stunt “pulled off was a character dance for “Girls Only. Of course there was some underhanded scheming on the hoys part to break up the party, hut to put it over on them two armed policemen were hired to hold the doors. To satisfy the curiosity of our gentlemen friends a regular vaudeville was given later, at which some of the hoys came in coveralls to watch an older sister parade the stage in his best “Sunday-go-to-meetin’ ’ clothes. Our next signs of life were shown at the “St. Patrick’s Jazz,” in which everyone carried out the rule of wearing green, except a few upperclassmen, who attended in noisy orange ties. With this excep- tion, everything went olf to a “T,” from Georgia’s dancing to the “beauty parlor.” Another feature of the evening was the Sopho- more's Shamrock booth, which took the three-dollar prize for attrac- tiveness, while the Freshmen walked off with the financial success. The proceeds were given to the stage fund. At last spring brought the “climax” and gave the girls a chance to flit around the halls while boys held classes. The significant day came April 12th. Days before the event even Charlie and Theron paced feverishly around the halls hunting for a “date.” They even made use of their good-looking eyes and “blinked” at a few Fresh- men. However, their expressions were changed when they found they had been “paired off.” About 1:30 the girls journeyed to the springs and had a hilarious time. Later, they returned to “top the day off with a big dance. ♦7 Dramatics Dramatic activities at W eber have been most successful during the past year. “Strongheart, the school play, was successfully staged by an excellent cast at the Orpheum Theatre, December 3rd and 4th. Several cast members, because of the excellent interpretation ol their parts, were given special comment in the local papers. On the night of January 17th “Strongheart was staged in the B. Y. U. hall in Provo, where it was much appreciated. . . The Seniors and Sopho- mores each presented a play, the proceeds going, together with that realized from “Strongheart, to help defray the cost of our new stage. The “Strongheart Cast Taylor.

No, gentle reader, not because of any physical vehemence or any “sawing of the air. but as a direct result of the terrific presence of the blood upon the sensitive gray matter located near the most delicate cortical centers. If my theology serves me right, this center is called the medulla by the worthy head of the English department. Desiring a president who “reflects” rather than studies, the club chose ndrew Kasius as its leader. . . Then out of respect to “vaunting youth the vice presidency was awarded to Russell Petty . . and in deference to “authority the clerical work was delegated to Earnest W ilkinson. . . Meetings were held whenever the debating coach was not busy postponing finance board meetings. Nothing by way of dis- cussion was considered, save Truth. Unfortunately, however, the club was favored only twice by the presence of Kimball Young, and thus were rarely able to arrive at any approximation of what may be considered as Truth, either in an absolute or a pragmatic sense. The foregoing incongruities are presented to reflect the real spirit of the club and not as a statement of its purposes or aims. Why be burdened by the definite and the explicit. Life is essentially illogical. ■V H| v . • Dai.k PhII.I.II'S Editor C. H. Linford Manager Individuality, neatness and freshness have characterized the Weber Herald. The paper has had a definite policy and that policy has been aggressively constructive, or, as enunciated in one of the first issues, “to fight for the best interests of the institution.” An effort has been made to breathe student opinion into the sheet, which has tended to awaken a keener and broader interest in student affairs. 'fhe paper lias contained the news. The staff workers have been especially active in this line and have described the activities of the day in a breezy, journulistc fashion. Its statements have been conservative and reliable, but always interesting and readable. Changes in the mechanics of the paper are worthy of note. The new head and the numerous cuts run throughout the year both have contributed to the artistic appearance and been in thorough accord with the progressive trend of the paper.

Failure undoubtedly will be the outcome if these two bodies clash. Co-operation is the keynote to success in every line of business, en- terprise or undertaking. In a nation the citizens must co-operate with the government in order that peace, liberty and prosperity may be maintained. Individual States must also be supported and backed by each individual. The municipality can also be efficiently and more successfully operated by a close co-operation between the officials and people. Is not the success of Student Body activities just as dependent on this same element, co-operation? . . From the beginning of the year it has been plainly visible that there has not been the friendly relationship between the faculty and the students that has been so evident in other years. There is in the school several cross-grains, which as soon as they can be eliminated or put in unison with the rest of the institution, will do away with the dissensions which have occurred this year. . . It is the sacred duty of every one connected with Weber, on any and every occasion, to boost the ideals and activities of the school. In years to come every one should be able to look back on his or her sojourn at Weber with the thought that they always worked for the advancement of Weber. Weber is bigger than any one of us, so let us co-operate and we will be assured of a bigger and better school. Let us hope that next year Weber will have an overwhelming success, which can only be attained by the sturdy co-operation of students and faculty. THE ACORN The Acorn is the honest and conscientious efforts of the staff to truly represent and exhibit the standards and ideals of Weber. Every inch of space has been filled with something that tends to typify only the true Weber spirit. It is the earnest desire of the staff, that in 25 or 50 years lienee it can be said that this book was a sample of the true atmosphere of our dear Weber during 1917-18. . . In presenting this Souvenir to you we do it with the singular purpose of keeping alive within you a few happy hours of our short lives spent in Weber. We hope that some day each individual who possesses the Acokn or 1917-18 will especially regard it as invaluable and interesting. . . Through these pages alone are we able to maintain in the future years the companionship woven with our classmates. In parting now we may never again meet, except through our Acorn. We wish to thank all. individually and collectively—Faculty, Student and Business Men— who have supported and co-operated in publishing this Acorn. ’A ylctWltlCS------In the succession of the numerous activities of Weber, one may find ample scope for the play of his abilities I . : I ! ‘ Wmm Ik. • •; Basketball The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands, their virtues we write upon ever- lasting tablets of memory and love. Let it be so with our basketball team. Basketball at Weber was a financial success in 1917-18. The proceeds of the game were ample to pay all expenses and purchase awards for the team, coach and manager. Tills was due to the keen interest manifested by the stu- dents, alumni and all the lovers of good, clean sport throughout the city. . . We started the season with a most promising outlook. Although we lost the first game to Kaysville we were reassured success by winning the second. After this victory we prooclaimed a holiday and began dreaming of a state championship. This, however, was in vain. The following week, on our own floor, South Cache trimmed us for the first time in history. We should have been more humble after this, because it was a criterion of what was to come. We went north, losing to South Cache and winning from North Cache. Then came the regular routine of losing to Box Elder. Our next game we mention to make the record complete. We defeated 0. H. S. on our floor. The last game of the Northern division was won by North Cache and wit- nessed Weber’s first defeat by this aggregation. . . If you have tears, prepare to shed them. It is with bowed heads and regret that we recall to memory our second game of the past season with the 0.11. S., who had the large end of the score by four points but the short end of sportsmanship by about 1,000 points. Their victory was the direct result of “dirty tactics, which were specifically directed at our stellar captain and guard, Jep and Ray. Both of these basketeers were intentionally knocked out. In the future we hope to be able to meet a more clean and sportsmanlike team. . . Memories of our team, Captain Jep, Art, Bonsey, Ray, Ken, Shanty, Bunny and Pete will forever be vivid upon our minds, because of their clean, con- sistent and scrappy playing, for which Coach “Male” Watson is responsible. . . Although Weber won only three games the students are satisfied with the showing made by the team. . . “Male” is also to be complimented on his second-team method of developing first- team material. The second team this year was composed of a bunch of clean, scrappy fellows, who made a very creditable showing, which was composed of Joe Brewer, Mel Douglas, Paul Hinckley, Floyd Campbell, Clarence Brown and Lee Davis. . . Let us hope, in clos- ing tins year, that in the future Weber will be able to emerge with not only a clean team, but a long string of victories. Athletics Kenneth F.

This is the slogan of Weber's Thinkers. True education, however, does not mean, as many interpret it. grind- ing away on text-hooks alone, but a mixture of genuine, earnest study, and also interesting times, including athletics and various other lorms of outlet for pent-up energy. In the “Thinker’s Club we have tried to live up to our significant title. Our aim has been to encourage dis- cussion in topics of nationwide interest, questions which call for a practical use of our mental activities. The Thinker's Club lias, in its initial year, proved a great success. The discussions have for the most part, been of great interest and worth to the students. Under the able direction of Professors Kasius, Young. Savage and others of the Faculty who have proved interested in our discussions, we have obtained great aid and experience in “the manly art of thinking. Out of the club, arose the class debaters ami finally the school representatives. In our class debates, tilt Juniors issued forth hearing the laurels of success and proudly engraved their numeral on the cup. It should be stated here, that there was a great deal of interest manifesld by the students in these class debates and we sincerely hope that the interest in the real liacklwnc ol scholastic training will be retained and will grow. For. after all. fellow students, it is not the athletics of an institution that make the standard of the school. It i the intellectual side that really establishes a school's name. Our school team was chosen during the early part of pril and serious work on the Stale High School question was begun. The question, “Resolved. That lTtah should adopt it graduated income tax for the purpose of raising revenue. is a splendid subject and the work on its mastering has been entered into with the greatest energy. Under the excellent stqicrvision of our coach. Professor Kasius. a thorough study of the question is being made ami hopes for the triangle championship which will In contended for between Ogden High. Box Elder High, and Weber High, arc entertained by all. There are three teams composed of two men each. David I,. McKay and Douglas l.eishman uphold the affirmative, while Andrew Kasius and Russell Ik Petty are Welter's negative contestants. Clarence Brown and Charles Linford are the alternating team and as the coach says, “They will sure earn their half unit. I here is only one condition that may he regarded os unfortunate and that is, the parting with our coach next year. Rut. through his useful advice and assistance of this 'car. wo will endeavor to carry the work on with the same zeal ami determination in future terms. • • • May Weber always he recognized, not by her victorious debating teams alone, hut by her value as an institution of development and benefit to humanity, is the sincere wish of The 1917-18 Debating Svgau. I Carl Storey Dot li.as Leishman Russell Petty 'The Rich Contest Another Rich Oratorical Contest lias become history. It will long remain vivid in the minds of all who heard it because of the current nature of the subjects and the splendid manner in which they were delivered. In making this contest possible Dr. E. I. Rich brands himself as one of Ogden's foremost citizens. It is events of this nature that stimulate within students the incentive to climb higher, to gain a high and honorable position among their fellowmen. First place was awarded to Mr. Carl Sandstrom of the 0. H. S., who commendably treated the subject. “Liberty and the American People ' Second honors were officially awarded to Mr. Douglas Leishman of Weber, who with the polish and delivery of a seasoned orator, admirably treated the subject, “War and the American Peo- ple.'' Third place was given to Mr. Carl Storey of Weber, who talked on “American War Aims.” When the talismen tabulated the deci- sions of the judges, they averaged the percentages and awarded the places accordingly. This procedure has been abandoned in state contests because of the fact that one judge marks on a high basis and one on a low. making decisions unjust. In former years the present state rules have been adhered to in the Rich contest; that is, comput- ing the final result on the points acquired in each judge’s individual first, second and third places. Had this plan been followed Mr. Leishman would have been awarded first place. Since it is not so, Weber is a true sport and accepts the decision as rendered. 66 Year— -Secrets will out into the light of common day through the dignity of history’’ as again the year’s experience repeats maxim Calendar September 17 Renisi ration: One hundred Freshmen and Krnie Wilkinson reg- islcr the first day.

His illness from pneumonia was but brief and the news of his decease on May 10th came as a great shock to all. Ivan was one of those young men whose future, we felt, was bright and assured. He was a con- scientious student, a cheerful comrade, and a true Latter-day Saint. His congeniality, his sincerity, his pleasing disposition, meant so much to all with whom he came in contact. We are bigger and better from having known him. His spiritual clean- mindedness will always form an example to us for the best in life. Ivan was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Velasco Farr. He was born in Ogden, December 16, 1899. His public school education was re- ceived here, and at mid-year, 1915, he entered Weber Academy. He was to have graduated from the four-year arts course this commencement. As a student he made an impression on his instructors for earnestness. His associations with his class- mates led to an early recognition of his cheerful- ness and high ideals. To the family, the student body of Weber ex- press their deepest condolences, for this which touches you, touches us. To the memory of our beloved fellow student.

The author, Charles Linford, is to be congratulated. “Fussing Under Difficulties” promises to excel Frank Newman’s earlier work, “Keep Them Guessing.” i lY DIARY Charles Horace Linford is my name. I hail from the city of Garland, which is honored because of me. Of late my knowledge has so expanded that I feel I should desert the farm and become a “business” man. No one in Weber can do business as good as I can. I was business manager of the Great Weber Herald, and 1 handled the cash end of the class play. The Finance Board should have been abandoned and the Board of Control should have allowed me to manage the Student Body funds. My intellectual ability is amazing. Had I wanted to I would have been on the school debating and oratory teams. When I was debating manager of my class I trusted to myself to win the debates from the other classes. My colleague, however, did not realize my native ability and wanted to outline the debate. We could not agree and so did not debate. Had he trusted to my impromptu flowery oratory we would have won the debating cup. No other student is as broad-minded as 1 am. If I think that the students should applaud or be boisterous in devotional it is all right. If I can see no occasion for applause or boisterous conduct, no one should.—C. .
