IE members of the Board of Trustees, an advisory body of Weber College, act as trail breakers for the school; upon them rests the necessity of resting and sounding the paths Weber must pursue. Unknown by most of the college stu- dents, these energetic, inspired men, acting as trustees for the present and guarantors of the future, guard and cherish the ideals and traditions of an adopted school. Theirs is the lot to interpret the visions of Weber’s leaders in such a manner as to foster growth; theirs, also, the right to create new possibilities for this school. Tor the faith of the Board, that Weber in the spring of her development will come forth renewed from her recent period of transition, the college men and women are grateful 21 ALUMNI OFFICERS John O. Hi.avi.ock Irma Gai.braith Harvey L. Tayi.or President Secretary I'ice-President The zAlumni Association DURING the past few years, the Alumni Association has made re- markable advancement toward the realization of its dream; a dream of perpetuating Weber’s ideals, and of helping Weber materially to become one of the leading educational institutions of the West. Through this association our Alma Mater has retained the old Weber spirit and has instilled, into the heart of every Weber student, the in- spiring aim of growth and progress. Each year a fraternal banquet is fostered by their organization, unique in that it brings “home annually, increasing numbers of alumni. Last June, from jive to eight hundred members participated in the first gathering at the Weber Gymnasium. This structure had been transformed from a dream into a reality largely through their efforts. Lor five years the association has presented to large and ap- preciative audiences, Shakesperian and modern drama of high merit, and has used the proceeds to enlarge Weber’s present campus. The acquisition of the Rich property has been the achievement of the pres- ent year. With such a progressive body steadfastly preserving the vision and working to make the dream come true, Weber will soon stand forth more prominently as the intellectual and cultural center of the community. ♦I 22 ] To The zAlumni Thou bulwark of IVebers foundations, Thou builder of men and of nations, 'Thou dreamer of finer creations, IVe bring to thee homage. 'Thou planter of highest ideal, 'Thou molder of character steely To thee and thy standards we kneel And bring to thee homage. Thou shaper of small common clay, 'Thou sun in our youth's fleeting day, Give ear to our tribute, we pray, And list to our homage. Thou star in the last shades of night, Thou shield against life's weary fight, 'Thou living defender of right, IVe bring to thee homage. President Tracy and The Faculty PON the shoulders of Presi- dent Aaron YV. Tracy has fallen the responsibility of proving the worth of this in- stitution in a most exacting year. In answer to the needs of the college, he has ably combined the attributes of the wise leader and the pru- dent counselor; and to this combination Weber owes much of her present well- being and her future possibilities. Where miscalcula- tion or mal-adjustment meant total failure, his un- erring foresight has found opportunity in opposition and has instigated progress in periods of partial in- activity. Broad-minded, sincere, capable; a supporter of the ideals of this institution, President Tracy to- gether with a Faculty, unsurpassed in its devotion to Weber traditions, has planned for and guided this College Student Body to the successful completion of a splendid school year. With vision and untiring effort, the Faculty and the President have tested the pulse of Weber's possi- bilities. Through perfect cooperation, they have, as a composite whole, insured the permanent growth of this institution. To President Aaron W. Tracy and his co-workers, the college Faculty, the progress of Weber College will stand a time-empowered tribute. [ 5 ) 6 faculty Chester J. Me vers, a.� ., A.M.

Lind Department of Sxact Science Mi d i of the success obtained in the exact science department is a result of the splendid work of I)r. J. G. land, department head, whose aim in instructing, is to give students a greater appreciation and understanding of the natural processes which are going on in the world. During the past year the Geology and Mineralogy departments have taken vast steps towards the realization of their dream, a dream of be- coming one of the best and most efficiently equipped departments of the kind to be found within the state. Four new specimen cases were an- nexed to the laboratory at the beginning of this school year. With these new cases came the addition of new specimens which include one hun- dred ten specimens ot rocks, and two collections of rock-forming min- erals, which represent the chief rocks and rock-forming minerals of the Western States. Many metals which are representative of the mines of Utah have also been included in the laboratory equipment. Not only has the laboratory been materially increased, but likewise the recitation room facilities have been improved by the placement of plaster of paris relief maps which picture for students the mountains and the surround- ing regions of Utah, and by the acquisition of valuable literature, pub- lished by the I nited States Geological Survey. With such improvements the Geological division of this department is now well prepared to give a very complete three-year course in Geology and Mineralogy. The Chemistry division, which is of no less importance than the Geological division of this department, has also progressed during the past year. Within this Department arc found appliances and chemicals sufficient to offer a complete three-year standard course in Chemistry. «1 29 ] A. Leon Winsor 'Department of Education and Psychology T N January i916, the General Church Board of Kducation decided to create a Normal School of the Weber Academy. Two years normal work was added to the Academy curriculum of’four years. Professor 11. A. Dixon was the first leader of the Educational Department; the training was done in Weber County schools. In the spring of 1917 eight girls were graduated from the first-year class. In the fall of 19iS Dr. N. H. Savage succeeded Professor Dixon as head of the department. The following spring two stu- dents were graduated from the two-year course and four students were graduated from the one-year course. When the 1919 semester began, Professor Dixon became president of the school and again assumed the responsibility as head of the Department of Kdu- cation. The membership this year increased to twelve. In September 1920, Professor John M. Mills was made administrator of the department. During that year some prac- tice teaching was done in the Ogden City schools. In the fall of 1921 Professor A. L. Winsor succeeded Professor Mills as head of the Department of Kducation. He was assisted by Mrs. Jennie Lloyd. This year there were eleven graduates from the one-year normal course. In 1922 Miss Kubv Osmond as- sisted Professor Winsor and during this year the membership of the department in- creased to fifty-two. The next year Miss Nellie I lendricks became assistant, and at the end of the school-year nineteen two-year students and thirty-five one-year students were graduated from this department. When the 1924 semester began, Miss Francis Barber assumed the position as assistant to Professor Winsor. In the spring of 1925, there were thirty-four graduates of the two-year course and twenty-one graduates of the one-year course. At the present time there are one hundred sixteen in the depart- ment. Weber is growing! 1 3° i Aaron Ward Tracy 'Departmoit of English fanguage and literature YKARS ago, when Weber College was Weber Academy, offering a full academic curriculum, Aaron W. Tracy had an English depart- ment unrivaled in the Inrermountain Country. Successive appoint- ments to leadership testified to this fact only second to the graduate students who have passed from his supervision to perpetuate his ideals. During the transition period from high school to college the English department weakened in efficiency not only because college courses necessitated new professional personnel and organization; but because Professor Tracy had become President Tracy, and administrative duties, in the first critical year of a college experiment in Ogden, meant too great a division of responsibility to assure department solidarity. In the year 1924-25 an entire new English faculty, Mr. Kenneth barley, Miss Grace Wood and Miss Marian Read, made considerable advancement toward building up the department standards. I his year two new members, Mr. Chester Myers and Mr. Joseph Jarvis, with Miss Read of last year, have, under the direction of Presi- dent I racy as acting head of the department again, succeeded in bring- ing the English work of Weber College up to the reputation of former days. New courses have been added, all fully accredited. I he policy of the department is a conservative one, to give to smaller classes superior work in composition and literature, adding to the cur- riculum and the teaching force as students and their needs increase. M31 ) J. S. Thomas D epartment of languages ALTHOl'GH the students in the foreign language classes bring to the study a wide variety of ultimate purposes which must be taken into consideration, the immediate goal of the majority is to make use of h'rench, German or Larin in their scientific and professional studies. For this reason, and also because h'rench and German are more closely connected with English and are considered of greater cultural value than the other modern European languages, the department concen- trates its efforts on these courses. With these, however, the department hopes to make the work even more thorough and complete than it has been in the past. In order to make the beginning work more effective a laboratory is being estab- lished for practice and training in oral work. More advanced courses are also being added and for these the library is being constantly and rapidly increased. The aim in this regard is to have an extensive li- brary of the source material of history in all its phases, political and scientific, in addition to the more purely literary works. [ 3 i A. Russp.li. Croft Department of Biological Science BIOLOGY is the science of life. 11 was one of the early sciences to force its attention upon mankind, and today, in a world which is moved largely by acknowledged truths and laws, biology is finding a long-needed application in the daily lives of the people. The department of Biological Science of Weber College has experienced a normal and satisfactory growth that has been highly encouraging. During the last year this growth has been especially noticeable; two thousand dollars in modern equipment has been installed, more space acquired, and classes generally have shown renewed activity. The outlook for the future is very satisfying. The rapid advancement of the college necessitates larger quarters for its department of Biological Science which has outgrown its present home. Plans are now under way to remodel the Mechanic Arts building for Biological use. 'This new structure will provide ample space for future expansion, at least until the proposed new building is secured. Present plans call for spacious labora- tories, class room, office, and dark room for photography. Laboratories will be equipped with the I .atest Kewaunee laboratory desks, some of which are now in use. The arrange- ment of skylights and windows will be such as to provide the best possible light for dissection and microscopic work. The department of photography in addition to being used for Biological work will be of invaluable service in making photographic record of all important college events that may be used in the “Acorn” or for general publication. Considerable equipment is already on hand, the chief of which is a high class Graflcx picture machine. Weber College can unhesitatingly recommend its department of Biology to all stu- dents who anticipate activity in the field of higher education. Pre-Medical students can receive their first two years of preparatory work in small classes that afford ad- vantages not found in colleges of large enrollment. «I 33 )’ Harvey L. Taylor Department of Political Economy and Sociology IT TN H A M PER ED by thought-ways of the past, the department of Political Kconomy and Sociology,started this yearon a career filled with happy prospects and brilliant predictions tor the future. Three hundred three students have taken work in one of the eighteen courses offered. Of this number, two hundred twenty were men and eighty were women. Since Ogden is an industrial and commercial center, and since present tendencies predict that it will continue to grow and become more noted as such, Weber made a desirable move when it added to its curriculum, «courses which will help prepare men and women to properly adjust to such an environment, and at the same time to raise the standard of that environment to a height of culture and refinement. Industrial and social Ogden will become the laboratory for this de- partment. No attempt will be made to confine its work to class rooms on the hill; but from factories, shops, and homes will come real animated a . V � ) course stun. With a field so rich and vibrant for research and so dynamically end- less in variety, the hope of the future becomes brilliantly illuminated and lights the torch of success. Mr Merlon L. Stevenson 'Department of Mathematics and Engineering r I 'I IK department of Mathematics and Physics in keeping with the JL growth and development of the School has shown a gratifying in- j crease during the years Weber has been a college. In the last year alone, this department increased ninety-five per cent. 'Phis is in part due to the popularity of the pre-engineering courses given. The supervision of the engineering courses has been given to the de- partment of Mathematics and Physics. These courses are attracting the attention of Weber students as is evidenced by the fact that the enroll- ment shows a fifty per cent increase in the number of engineering stu- dents over last year. •Since Ogden is essentially interested in these technical courses it is only reasonable to expect a continued high percentage of increase. The department is to meet the needs of the people with quality rather than quantity courses at all times. ♦I 35 1 Lydia 11. Tanner 'Department of Home Economics WITH rhe passing of the High School, numbers decreased in all departments. I lowever, quality increased where quantity had formerly counted. The College deals with more mature minds, therefore a better grade of work is accomplished. The large kitchen laboratory has been transformed into a well equipped cafeteria where daily, teachers and students from other schools, as well as Weber, compliment the department. Students in the cooking classes plan the menus, do the marketing, prepare and serve the food. A smaller laltoratorv has been equipped which is easy and convenient. A new electric stove, a gas range, and individual gas plates afford splendid cooking surface. The growth in the department has been intensive rather than extensive. Woman’s education is necessarily very imperfect unless it be largely in the line that best becomes her nature. She should have a home education, and that means something more than the mere knowledge of the daily routine of house keeping in the popular sense of the word. Woman holds in her hands the physical health of the world. Three times each day life and health are at the mercy and practical judgment of woman. And more, for the world’s character is largely what its food makes it. Indirectly, then, woman exercises a modifying influence over love and hate, hope and fear, joy and sor- row. Girls should be taught through the wisdom and experience of mothers, and also through the medium of books, cooking, and the related sciences of chemistry and hy- giene, how to engage in the noble occupation of housewife with the best advantage to mankind. Such a conception of woman’s sphere, such preparation tor that role of homemaker, are the ideals consistently and persistently incorporated in home education courses conducted by Lydia 11. Tanner, in the hope that they will be carried over into the lives of Weber women. .OCK OHN ‘‘Department of History and Political Science HISTORY and its related subjects are the stage hands that raise the curtain on the drama of life and reveal the beauties of language, literature, science, and the arts. They enrich life and give the power to solve life’s problems. Even during the 1 ligh School era of Weber, History and Civics were popular. Courses were given in American History, European History Ancient History and Civics. Under the direction of Professor John O. Blaylock, this department has steadily evolved from its high school stage to a strong college course. As the college has grown the Department of Social Science has in- creased in popularity, new courses being added until it included three courses in American History, three in Kuropean I listory, two in West- ern History, four in Economics, three in Sociology, and one in American Problems. The Social Science section of the library has kept pace with the growth of the Department until it has now become one of the finest Junior College libraries in the West. Most of the books have been re- cently purchased and are the very last “word” in their particular fields. 1 he Social Science horizon is constantly enlarging, giving us an ever broadening field whose vista is flush with prophetic promise of efficiency ,n the school, and effective service to the community. 'T epartment of -JhCusic THE singing, theory, public school, and instrumental classes have grown during the past season, and although it might be unfair to champion rhe success of one department above the other, one is safe in maintaining that rhe assembly singing of rhe student-body has been the most effective thing done in music this year at Weber. Surely this spirit of song has definitely and lastingly sold itself to the Weber Stu- dent Body and reports from those who attended the basketball tourna- ment justify Weber’s claim as a singing school. It is the policy of the Music Department to present one opera each year but they feel that with a single hearing a student does not become well enough acquainted with rhe opera to make rhe great amount of time, effort and money a successful rendition requires, worth while. Kor this reason the rendition of this year’s opera which was to have been Verdi’s “II Trovatore” has been postponed until next fall, and in the meantime, excerpts will from time to time be presented to rhe stu- dent body by rhe college chorus and to rhe public by the Ogden 'Taber- nacle Choir in informal concert. These numbers will be accompanied with explanatory remarks. It is expected this plan will make for more intelligent appreciation of Grand Opera in Ogden, and if successful, will be continued—all future operas to be in preparation a season before their formal rendition. «I 38 ]• Eva Brownino The J ibrary IN the year 1923, when the Weber High School was discontinued, the Library consisted of only three thousand volumes. These books were kept in a small room in back of the study hall. Since those days the study hall has turned into a beautiful library room equipped with heavy oak tables and chairs; the floor is covered with heavy cork linoleum to prevent noise in walking and in the moving of chairs, and the shelves around the walls are filled with books numbering some nine thousand. Many have said that Weber’s library is the most cheerful and sunniest small library in the State. Aside from the regular college library, a church library is being col- lected which already consists of many rare and valuable books that can- not be purchased at any price. This library has most of the early church publications, and the current publications are being kept up-to-date. Because of the steady increase of volumes, the English and American Fiction Department has been separated from the main college library and made into a Fiction Library which at present is up-to-date with the works of the leading modern authors, and is almost complete with select English and American Fiction. Within the next year, Weber shall receive a few thousand books from the Brigham Young College; other departments will then be removed from the main library, until some day the entire top floor of our building will be used for the Library. This prominence of our library is due largely to the careful super- vision of our librarian, Miss Eva Browning, who for several years has efficiently held this position. Too much credit cannot be given her. M 39 1 w'Donnell Stewart OWARI) Donnell Stewart, Student Body President of the Associated Students for 1925- 26, the Faculty of Weber Col- lege has looked for the inter- pretation of Student Body policies, and the students, then.selves, have looked for activity guidance. As adn.in- ________________________istrative head of a true ener- geticam! democratic Junior College Student Associa- tion, Mr. Stewart has so well governed his school companions that naught other than the harmony conducive tojprogress has existed throughout the year between the students and the Faculty. Encour- aged by his own devotion to Weber, Mr. Stewart has fostered within the hearts of his college associates a love for this institution. Gradually, any feeling of ill-composure with which Mr. Stewart might have begun his work, has fallen before the quiet assurance and the resourcefulness that are his as a leader of men. Abrupt, competent, preferring example to precept, the Student Body President has worked with all his soul. The students, catching the enthusiasm of their leader, have followed him to the completion of a year unsurpassed in its contributions to the growth of Weber. Before the silent metamorphosis of this college to which Mr. Stewart has devoted his best in time and in character, men will acknowledge the success of this year’s work and pay tribute to our Student Body President.

STEWART President HARVEY TAYLOR, Advisor RIGBY Jacobs, Sophomores ELMER nielsen, Secretary FRANK MORTENSEN, Fresh 1)101 4- :Board of Qontrol O this year’s Board of Control the Student Administrative Council—past boards have willed the responsibility of or- ganizing a greater Weber Col- lege. Acting, in response to this legacy, as a social, finan- cial unit, the seven members of the Board, the President, Vice-President, and theSecre- tary of the Student Body; the Freshman and Sopho- more Class Presidents; President Tracy, and Profes- sor Taylor, of the faculty, have planned, adjusted, and directed all Student Body activities for the Col- lege season of 1925-26. During no other year since the establishment of Weber as a College has the Board of Control accomplished so much, and incidentally left so perfect a basis for the progress of future boards. £1 ner ffr(ie son IN rhecapacityofStudent Body Secretary, Klmer Nielson has recorded the progressive activi- ties of the college for this school year. Ouietly and earnestly, Mr. Nielson (somewhat elongated Sophomore) together with the other Student Body Officers has assisted the Faculty and the Board of Control in making Weber a growing institution. From such in- dustry as that of Mr. Nielson, who has constantly served his fel- low students, the men and women of Weber will receive the inspira- tion to evolve a powerful edu- cational structure with infinite possibilities from the present lim- ited resources of this Junior Col- lege. Virginia Wardleigh Ml Cl 1 of the credit which is due the 1925-26 officers of t te Associated Students of Weber College belongs to Virginia Ward- leigh, the Student Body Vice- President. In spiteof the fact that M iss Wardleigh is, in addition, Associate Kditorof the Acorn, she has fulfilled aptly the require- ments of both positions. In all matters demanding severe con- centration and alert judgment, the Vice-President has displayed the most versatile ability. I ler sincere expending of energy to- ward the furthering of growth in Weber as a College has won the admiration of all her friends. «[ +41 Cf ir ni Buehler MISS Kmma Buehler, mi- en red Preside� tof rhePub- lic Service Bureau for the College year 1925-26, has efficiently di- rected the energy of that depart- ment. Although Miss Buehler was at first totally unfamiliar with the requirements of her position, she has built faithfully and well on the foundation laid by her prede- cessors. On numerous occasions she has cheerfully responded to short-notice requests from the various wards for entertainment programs, and at the same rime, she has upheld the calibre of work expected of the Bureau. Miss Buehler has placed well the tal- ent of Weber before the people of Weber County. IV'tide Stephens TOCtfirn I HR with Miss Bueh- ler, Mr. Stephens has made the vision of the Public Service Bureau at Weber a reality, and has founded a record which the future officers of that depart- ment will do well to equal. Whenever it was necessary, Mr. Stephens supervised the act- ivities of the Bureau, and conse- quently helped much toward realizing the aim of that depart- ment, to place Weber talent so- cially and religiously before the public. Mr. Stephens, therefore, deserves the reputation which his interpretation and sympathetic support of the Bureau have se- cured for him. Rigby Jacobs President Clifton Kit had Secretary Althea Thomas Pice-President 7 amove THE Sophomores characterize an educational institution; what Weber is, the Sophomores are. They stand for the enthusiasm of the athletic contest, the thrill of the debate, the pleasure of wholesome social activities, and above all, for the satisfaction of the hard-won preparation for life which represents their greatest contribution. The Sophomores exemplify the dual training of mind and hand. They stand for the glorious social and intellectual training for the every-day tasks of the world. Their belief is the religion of work. As graduation time nears, Weber is well ready to send them out to the homes, the fields, the industries, the professions, and to institutions of higher learning, fully prepared to accomplish efficiently their parts in life.

In every school activity the Freshmen have made themselves felt and appreciated by their ready and whole- hearted cooperation. The Sophomores may feel secure in the thought that the Freshmen will “carry on for Weber in a most creditable manner next year. A word should be said in praise of the excellent class officers whose every effort has been to do the utmost for Weber and the Freshmen. The choice of Frank Mouritsen, president, F.thel Holmgren, vice-presi- dent, and Connie Shaw, secretary and treasurer, was indeed to the best interest of the Freshman Class. -1 «I 5s I Hortensi- Kirki.an'D Chf.stf.r Kngstrom Thf.o (Jarman Wanda Egan l;.u.sworth Wf.avkr Vi-da Mortf.nsf.n Makki.

STF.V F.XSON, professor of mathematics and di- rector of athletics, is the fit leader for such enterprises. Uncon- ventional, daring, resourceful, he continuously contributes to Weber’s welfare and glorifies her simplicity, the keynote of her existence. Aside from his accomplishments connected with the curriculum, his pleasing, cheerful, and inspiring personality wins our most cherished admiration. Ralph Gray has, indeed, won a link in our chain of friendships at Weber. As assistant football coach he ranks among the best, and will always be remembered as one of our most true and ardent boosters. I lis work, in all respects, has been of the very highest type and has con- tributed much to the uplifting of Weber’s standards. Melvin Saunders, assistant professor of mathematics, is highly re- garded by Weber students. Although this is his first year here, he has done much in promoting our activities, especially basketball. With his energy and untiring efforts he has helped to make this basketball ream the best in the history of Weber. Tf.tsuo Chiba has performed very efficiently his work as athletic manager at Weber. The athletes will never forger the way he was al- ways present to care for their sprained ankles, cuts, r floor bruises. With his wonderful character, personality, and work as a student, Chiba has left a lasting impression upon the mind of every person at Weber. Garnet Littlefield’s pleasing personality and his ability as a leader has won him the position of one of Weber’s outstanding yell- masters. As a “sixth man’’ he has instilled “pep” and fight into the team through his ability to rouse among the students such a great inter- est in basketball and football. 1 77 Football SNOW NORM A 1.0 WKBKK 42 THK big goal set In the VVel er football team ami stu- ilcnt body was to win another Junior College title. Nothing less would satisfy, since nine letter-men from the Championship team of the previous year were hack in fighting togs. The first game of the season, with Snow Normal of Kphraim as opponents gave to the many students in at- tendance at lx rin Karr Park, a marked confidence in the ability of Weber’s men. Not once during the entire game did the Kphraim team come within scoring distance of Weber’s goal. Not once during the game did they succeed in recording a first down. This in itself is something Welier’s team had never accom- plished in previous years against an opposing team. Weber proved to be strong in all parts of the sjxirt, and exceptionally powerful on the offensive. Time after time Weber’s backs made long gains through both the center of the line and around the ends. As for her forward passes, it was near an impossibility for the Snow team to break them up. It can truly be said that the Wildcats easily outclassed the visitors in every department of the game. Although Snow had a heavy and well-balanced fighting team, they seemed to lack the application of the finer jxnnts of the game; thus Weber’s experienced eleven was able to hand the Southern team a g xxl trouncing. From the score of forty-two to zero, it is evident that Weber made it hot for Snow. ♦ 7 79 Il'eb er vs. IVest wins te? WKBKR 34 WESTMINSTER 7 r.Bft' Tj'OK W.-Iht's ion tot, flu- journeyed to j ' f Salt Lake to meet the Westminster College on Cum- minus field. Westminster who had never defeate l Weher, hoastetl the strongest team in their history. They were Immediately after the kick-off the Fighting Parsons Bfg injected a hig scare into the Wcberites by taking them hack to their five van! line. Then the old Weber Spirit was called into action and down the field our team went for a touch- down. In the second quarter, the morale of our team was considerably lowered when Pete received a sprained ankle and was taken from the game. Several other players also received minor injuries. The Westminster team then took advantage of the breaks and scored a touchdown. At the end of the halt, the score was i.� to in our favor but if looked as though the odds were against Welter because the Parsons were outfighting us. _ _ With the pep and “ginger which Coach Stevenson stilled into his men, the Weber players appeared as an en- P tirely different aggregation during the second half of the ' TJb «i , . . game. They were aide to completely outclass their opjx - nents in all respects. Taking advantage of the splendid sod _ ‘ field, the Wcberites pulled their new trick play which 1 resulted in two touchdowns and many other long gains. i 'C aWM The final score ended 34 to 7 for the Purple and White, g I Thus they defeated the Itoastful Parson team by a larger S {'dUJ score than the one recorded in the previous year. T 80 IFeh er vs. Idaho 'Tech. WKBKR 6 IDAHO TECH OL'R third game was the big sensation ot the season. Because of the unpleasant memories of the fifty-eight to ero defeat of the previous year, Weber's team fought all the harder to humble the Idaho Tech by a score of six to three. This game was truly one of the hardest fought battles in the school’s history and our team proved its right to high rank among Weber’s traditional fighting teams. Weber entered the game primed for a desperate strug- gle. Time and again Idaho worked the ball to within easy scoring distance, only to have Weber’s defense stiffen, and to cause “ I ech to lose the ball on downs. Weber would not be beaten. She fought the heavier Idahoans gamely and made them work for every yard. Both scores were recorded in the second quarter. In this period, l ech worked the ball to Wel er's twenty-eight yard line. Failing to gain through the line. Sells, Idaho’s fullback, stepped back and put a drop-kick through the standards for the first score of the game. Weber lost no time bewailing this score but determined to balance it. Ilallidav returned the ball to midfield on the kick-off and then hurled a pass to Barker, who raced forty-three yards for a touchdown. Success or defeat then became a matter of who could holt! the other best. Idaho hammered our line and forward-passed but to no avail; they could not put the ball across the line. The Weber defense played beautifully and fought hard. Altogether Steve’s” organization proved itself a team of which Weber can be justly proud. They were indeed revengeful “Wild- cats. IFeb er vs. Aggie Freshmen WKHF.R GCIE FROSM O X7KHKR’S football team played brilliant and faultless hall when they defeated the Aggie l rosh I'.lcven by a score of -o, thus reversing the score of the previous sea- son. As the score shows, it was one of the most thrilling games of the season. Several times the opposing team hail the ball within the Welter one yard line but lacked the punch to put it over the goal. The 1‘rosh had a slight advantage during the first quar- ter. In this period they worked the ball to the Weber one foot line only to lose the ball on downs against the stubborn defense of the Purple and White. The second period was nearly a Hip-up, both teams playing sensational ball until the sound of the gun. In the third quarter the Weber team came back filled with the Old Weber fighting spirit . After completing two passes, the ball was placed within scoring distance, and from there the Wildcats bucked the ball over the line for the lone score of the game. Cortez, Barker, Couch, Doxey, I lalliday, Bramwell, and McGregor, who probably played their last football game in Ogden, displayed their usual superior brand of ball. 82 ]«■• U eber vs. ' i(bs WEBER 13 RICKS O defeating the Kicks College 13 loo at Rexburg, our ' ream won the I’rah Idaho Junior College h'ootball Championship lor the third consecutive time. This, the last game, gave the Weberites a clean slate for the whole season. The field on which the game was played, was covered by a two-inch layer of slippery mud. Before the game had progressed many minutes every player was saturated in mud and water. During the half sticks, slats, and knives were employed to scrape the mud from the suits of flu- players in order to give them more speed in the coming half. Throughout the entire game many fumbles occurred because the ball was so slippen . W ith such a condition of the- field ami ball, it was almost imjxissible for either team to play effectively. In the first period a punting duel was staged in which Weber seemed to hold a little advantage. It was in the second quarter that the scoring began. After an exchange of punts, the ball was run back thirty yards and then by a forward pass Weber took the ball over the goal line. In the third quarter the Purple and White succeeded in making their second and final touch- clown by forward passing. Hie remainder ot the game easily showed that Weber |K� ssesscd the superior team of the two, mainly because of their ability to out fox” the Kicks team. IFei er vs. B. 1 Q. TUI , fact that Weber had never defeated B. Y. C. on the Logan field gave to the W’eberites an intensified desire to discontinue this precedent. So to give the team an added impetus, most of the faculty meml� ers and nearly two hundred students journeyed to Logan. B. Y. C. was also determined to win the game. Some of their students had been out the night before to paint red and white signs in every available place in the Logan busi- ness district. On the day of the game, they held pep rallies at which every student was required to wear school colors. Both teams were very evenly matched but the fighting spirit of the Weberites proved disastrous to their opponents. The first quarter ended with both teams about on equal terms. The next quarter, however, was a different story. The Weber organization suc- ceeded in keeping the red and white” on the defensive in their own territory. The score at the half ended 13 to 6 in Weber's favor. In the beginning of the second half, the Wildcats” con- tinued to outclass the B. Y. C., but toward the end the Logan school rallied and scored two touchdowns. The game ended with Weber’s defeating them by a margin of one point, the score being 20 to 19. Although the score was close Weber was able to overcome the jinx” which in previous years had accompanied the Weber football men to Logan. WEBER 20 «184 ] basketball 87 IVeber vs, Thicks WEBER 27 KICKS 39 WF.BHR’S first league basketball game was played before a fair sized crowd in the Weber Gvm, Saturday night, January 23. kicks, from Rexburg, Idaho, seemed to remember well Weber’s 13 too victory in Football, for they vindi- cated by defeating our team 39 to 27. The game was fast from start to finish with both teams play- ing good ball, kicks played a clever passing game, bur as they could not get past the Weber guards, they resorted to long shots. The first quarter was close with kicks leading 9 to 7. Weber came back strong in the quarter and was on the long end of a 13 to 1 1 score at the half. The third quarter found Weber losing a little ground; kicks leading 22 to 21. kicks smothered Weber with an avalanche of long shots in the final period, and ended the game 12 points in the lead. zAt ‘l exburg WEBER 34 RICKS 26 THF. game played at kexburg, Idaho, was one which demonstrated Weber’s perseverance. As the teams were warming up, prior to the calling of the game by the referee, determination was seen in each Weber player's face. As the half closed, Weber led bv a score of 16 to 14. Both teams came back for the third quarter with new fight and determination to place their school in the lead, kicks fought hard and desper- ately bur the Purple and White’s ability to carry the ball through kick’s defense Continued to net punts. While Weber’s lead was increasing, kicks realized her only hope, and began to take long shots. Weber's defense continued to hold like a stone wall. At the sound of the gun the score stood 34 to 26. Weber had gained her objective, to defeat kicks in 1926 upon her own floor. «[ 88 ]♦ 8o 1 Weber vs. ®. Y. Q. WEBER 20 B. V. C. 33 THK second game of rhe season was played at l.ogan with B. Y. C. The Weber team showed a marked improvement over the exhibition given rhe previous week at Ogden I'he game started off with a “bang,” Weber mak- ing the first eight points before B. Y. C. could score. In the second quarter. Price was removed from the game on fouls, thus materially weakening the Weber teamwork. The half ended 11 to 8 for rhe Purple and White In the third quarter the teams were fighting hard. The Crimson succeeded in scoring eight field baskets from the center of rhe floor with the last twelve minutes of the game, thus defeating Weber by a score of 33 to 20. zAt Ogden WEBER 26 FRIDAY night, February 12, Weber handed B. Y. C. their first de- feat of the year. It was also the first time Weber has ever defeated B. Y. C. in basketball. Weber started out brilliantly and ran the score up to 10 to 3 for the first quarter. B. Y. C. ran a new team in at rhe be- ginning of the second quarter but could not pene- trate Weber’s splendid defense. While rhe defense was keeping B. Y. C. from scoring the Weber for- wards were making baskets almost at will, rhe score at the half being 16 to 4. 'The third and fourth quarters found Weber slowing up a little bur still maintaining a comfortable lead. When the game ended rhe score stood 26 to 13 for Weber, placing Weber, B. Y. C. and I . I). S. in a tie for first place. 9° if ei er vs. S. WKBER 34 WEBER demonstrated her ability as a con- tender for the championship by defeating I.. 1). S. on the Roof Garden of the I.. I). S. Memo- rial building at Salt Lake City by a score of 34 to 31. Weber’s ream had now hit its stride. As the ball was pur in play at center, students, representing both schools, were on edge. Weber’s signals were completed on the initial play, and the ball dropped through the hoop for the first score of the game. This basket came as a result of a bril- liant over-head shot by Couch. Several baskets by both teams brought the score X to 4 for Weber, as the quarter ended. The next quarter uncovered more thrills for the fans. Service, the snappy I.. I).

The halt ended, Weber 15, L. I). S. 11. Weber played the last two quarters with her same characteristic fight. 'Jit Ogden WKBER 22 ONE of the most sensational games of the season was played Satur- day, Eebruarv 20, in the Weber Gym, with 1.. I). S. as Weber’s opponents. The game was fast throughout, both teams playing splendid ball. I‘he first quarter ended, Weber 6, I.. I). S. 4. The second quarter was nip and tuck; neither team seemed able to execute plays properly. The score stood, Weber 12, L. I). S. 11 at the half. In the third quarter, Weber outscored her opponents by two points; 20 to iS. The final period was one of the closest ever played in Ogden. The Saints scored a field goal about five minutes before the end of the game. With one minute to go, Weber broke the deadlock bringing a two point lead. The Third i.Annual Utah-Ida ho Junior (o I lege 'Basketball Tournament f THK third annual Junior College Basketball Tournament, held in the Weber Gymnasium March 4, 6, brought together six of the strongest teams rhar have ever assembled in Ogden. The first night offered two fast games: Dixie succeeded in trouncing B. Y. C. 27 to 24 and L. I). S. won over B. A. C. 28 to 26. The third contest of the eve- ning, which was between Weber and Kicks, resulted in a rather one- sided score but offered a few real thrills. In this event Weber downed her old rivals 31 to 19. The second night’s contests were all fast and well-played. In the first game of the evening Kicks surprised everyone when she defeated the fast Dixie “fliers” 34 to 24 and upset the Southerners’ chance for championship honors. I.. I). S. managed to come our with a narrow margin of victory over B. Y. C. 24 to 22. Weber put herself in the finals with I.. I). S. by winning from B. A. C. 42 to 41 in a game that proved intensely interesting in the last quarter. A rally by B. A. C. fell one score short of ticing the contest. The last night afforded plenty of excitement and clever playing. Dixie staged a come-back and defeated B. A. C . 40 to 32. Kicks demon- strated a rally and won the decision from B. Y. C. 18 to 17. 'I he final game of the night was between L. I). S. and Weber for the champion- ship. 'This event was exceedingly clean and well-played, as the teams showed plenty of ability at the sport. The first quarter ended 6 to 3 for Weber. Weber maintained the lead at the half 14 to 12, but lost it to L. I). S. at the end of the third quarter 18 to 22. Each team scored four points in the last quarter and I.. D. S. won the I’rah-ldaho Junior College Championship by the score of 26 to 22. Judging from the size of the crowds that attended, and the fine quality of the games played, the prospects are indeed bright for the future Utah-Idaho Junior College Basketball Tournaments. ♦I 91 I� Qy mnas mm BELIEVING that the highest physical efficiency is necessary for the fullest enjoyment of life, the people of Ogden have seen fit to place in the community a gymnasium which is one of the finest in the West. Students of Weber College may here enjoy the fullest privileges. They are trained in the fundamental principles of physical education and given opportunities to develop their qualities of leadership in that line of work. Probably one of the biggest factors in Weber’s athletic success of the past year can be accredited to the gym. Mr. M. L. Stevenson and Mr. Melvin Saunders have had charge of the men’s work, while Miss Kathryn Shufflebarger, assisted by Miss Lucille Owen, the swimming instructor, has had the girls under in- struction. To these people can be given the credit for placing the physi- cal education department of Weber College on a par with that given in any school. No great variety of courses has been offered, but classes have been attempted that would meet the graduation requirements of any university. The aim has been to furnish an opportunity for every student to secure and maintain that physical condition which makes possible, through recreation, exercises, swimming, and various games, the highest mental and moral efficiency. A unique feature was held this year in the form of a “May-day Circus.” The Weber Gym Association combined with the Weber Col- lege gym classes to give a very entertaining and unusual exhibition. It is planned to make this circus an annual affair. 92 Swimming THK second year of swimming as a minor sport at Weber was a marked success, and far surpassed any accomplishments of the previous year. Three meets were held during the year. The one with the I.. I). S. I', was the first Junior College Swimming Meet ever held in I'rah. Its success gives promise of a real Junior College Swimming League with annual competition. Of the three meets held, one was interclass competition, while the other two were with the Weber Gymnasium team and the L. I). S. I . ream. In the last two meets, Weber was defeated both times; the Weber Gym- Weber College meet was won by the Gym team by the score of twenty-seven to forty-six, and the L. I). S. team won the other meet by the score of sixty-three to nineteen. The meet with the L. I). S. team was of high standard for Junior Colleges since many of the men who competed were holders of state records. No extensive coaching has been given at Weber in this line although Professors Grey, Saunders, and Thomas have been of valuable assis- tance in organizing the ream and rendering helpful suggestions. The men who entered in the Weber swimming contests were Rigby Jacobs, I larrison Parker, Leonard Steimle, Wallace Randolph, Garnett Littlefield, William Miller, and Smith Thompson. Steimle received the highest score in fancy diving and Jacobs was awarded the highest score in swimming. The state record of twenty seconds lor the forty yard frce-style event was equaled several times by Jacobs. Prospects are bright for the future and progress in swimming will undoubtedly be proportional to the growth in the other departments of the school. «I 93 1 Track EACH spring Coach Stevenson digs up the old lead shot and the running shoes and all of the other accoutrements of track, puts on that old smile of his, and goes out to build a track team. Track at Weber is coming info its own as football and basketball have done. The increase in the number of men who were carried on the scjuad and also the increase in the amount of equipment provided, is indicative of the interest which track has at Weber. The College has always endeavored to maintain a high standard in this spring activity, and the earnestness with which the boys went to work showed a desire to preserve that standard. Increased interest in track was manifested this year not only in Weber, but also in other Junior Colleges. At the Provo Invitational Meet, held April 24th, three additional schools were present, bringing the total ol Junior College athletes who entered this sport, up to sixty. At the I 'tah-Idaho League Meet, held in Logan May 7, even greater interest was shown by the schools of this section. Weber again managed to pull away with a very creditable showing. The men who compose the track team are: Don Stewart, discus and javelin; “Pete” Couch, shot-put, pole vault, discus, javelin; “Star” Nelson, shot-put, discus, broad-jump, high-jump; “Monk” Halliday, sprint, broad-jump; “Pug” Mouritsen, javelin, distance runs; Golden Smedley, sprints; Clifford Smith, sprints; William Beazcr, distance runs; William Miller, discus, distance runs; Alva Ritchie, distance runs; Grant Ellis, distance runs, pole vault; Rigby Jacobs, distance runs; Ray Price, shot-put, discus; 'Led McGregor, distance runs; Laurence Taylor, pole vault; Del ton Bramwcll, sprints; Rulon Doxey, pole vault. 94 J« Rith Merrill Alumni Cl.YDK GrIX Typist I HERMA ScOVILLE Literary Mildred Levedahi.

Its value, both for the work it contains and for the standards in writing it has set, can not be questioned. It is above all, a medium of expression for liter- ary students of Weber. It further serves as a permanent place in which to preserve all fine bits of literature written during the school year- literature that is really worthy of publication. It is valuable, also, in that it is an incentive, to all English students of composition, to strive for the attainment of a higher degree of proficiency in writing. The work of Ivan Jones, Therma Scoville, Thelma Jones, I.. W. Overstreet, Leslie J. Christensen, and J. Vernal Stimpson, in the Spring Journal of 1926, has been highly commended. The Literary Journal is, indeed, a keepsake for students who cherish fine literature written by fellow classmates, and a treasure for all whose work it contains. Flora Cedes 'Douglas JJterary Qontest THREE prizes for literary excellence in different forms of written composition, are awarded annually by Mrs. Flora Eccles Douglas: one of twenty dollars to the student producing the best poem; one of fifteen dollars to the author of the best short story; another of fifteen dollars to the student writing the best essay. 'This contest is the first and only one of its kind to be sponsored and permanently provided for by a citizen of Ogden. Its obvious puq ose is to encourage especially talented students in writing. It, thereby, enhances interest in the field of literature. It forms another entrancing branch of school activity which the student of composition may profitably enter. [ 100 ]«► 'fi Xi B d: Oratory Qmtests '43. £ IK call of life demands that people be able to speak Hu- curly and well. Weber answers this call by bringing to the fore various oratorical activi- ties which give to the student the needed development in Public Speaking. Contests arc fostered at intervals during _____________________the year to encourage the stu- dent along these lines. The Grant Oratorical Contest, the Barker Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, the Lewis Extemporaneous Contest, and the various de- bates have taken a prominent place in Weber’s life. As Weber is growing in other fields, so W eber grows oratorically. Each year the contests are bigger and better. Each year the competition becomes keener. There are great visions for the future. C ♦| ioi I Barker Qontest THE Barker Extemporaneous Speaking contest, one of the older activities of Weber, was established by Professor James L. Barker while he was principal of the Weber Academy. The rules provide that eight contests shall be held, two freshmen and two sophomores partici- pating in each. The first seven contests are preliminary, but the eighth and final one is looked upon as a consummation of the best talent brought out in all of the others. A ten dollar cash pri e is provided for the winner. Class competition enters also. Professor Barker left a silver loving cup upon which the class totaling the greater number of points is privileged to engrave its name and the year. Much talent has been discovered in the field of oratory, and the con- tests this year ranked among the best. The respective winners of the preliminary contests were: Elmer Neilson, Grant Ellis, Lawrence Van Dyke, Alice 'Fanner, Vernal Stimpson, Dorothy Vail, and Stephen Durant. In the final contest each participant spoke on a different phase of the subject, “Effect of Inheritance on Character.” Grant Ellis, a Freshman, won, with Vernal Stimpson, second, and Dorothy Vail, third. The sophomores carried off honors in the competition with a total of thirty-eight points as against thirty-four for the freshmen. Qrant Oratorical Qontest THE Grant Oratorical Contest held November 23, 1925, was a real contribution to the activity calendar of Weber. President Heber J. Grant, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints originated the contest at Weber during the school year of 1919-20, and each year since, the winner has carried off a beautifully bound book which Presi- dent Grant has autographed and sent him. The contest has a two-fold purpose: first, to turn minds and hearts of Weber students to the president of the church; and second, to stimu- late and perpetuate an interest in public speaking and oratory. The subject assigned for this year’s contest was, “Why Study the Scriptures.” Out of the many excellent orations which were read, the judges selected three. In the final contest the judges awarded first place to Vernal Stimpson, second place to Evelyn Neilson, and third place to Ernest Ward. The winning oration pointed out how scripture study has always been of practical value to men of every vocation; and especially stressed the fact that scripture study would give men a true conception of their relationship to Deity and thus produce peace in a war-sick but still disunited world. 102 J vy j ew s Qontest THK J. S. Lewis Co. awards a medal each year to the student giv- ing the best constructive extemporaneous speech. Phis contest has been held annually since Nineteen Hundred fifteen and has brought forth considerable talent. Its purpose is to give training in extemporaneous speaking to any students who might be interested. It is of much value both from the standpoint of the speakers and of the audience, and is always looked forward to with interest. The contestants arc allowed only ten minutes before the time to speak so the contest is a true extemporaneous one. It takes real in- genuity and ability to deliver a good speech under such circumstances and all participants are to be congratulated. This year three students participated and although this was a de- crease in numbers from past years, the results were highly entertaining. Don Wakefield was awarded first place for his “Plea for Dramatic Art.” Stephen Durrant spoke on “Theology in Weber.” Othello Wheatley’s subject was “The Aim of Religious Training in Weber.” Miss Ida Shurtlitt' Stewart judged the contest, and also gave the contestants valuable constructive criticism. V I 'os Qontest THE class of 1905 made provisions for a public speaking contest to be held annually in the college. To this purpose, they left a cup upon which the winner of each contest is permitted to engrave his name. The contest was established for the purpose of furthering oratory in the school; each speech was to be a finished oration delivered without notes. Unlike other competitive activity of its kind held at Weber, it furnishes an opportunity for literary talent as well as for rhetorical ability. hour speakers from each class, two boys and two girls, enter the pre- liminaries, from which two speakers from each class, one boy and one girl, compete in the finals. The contestants, in each case, are appointed and selected by a committee from the respective classes, which com- mittee is composed of the class president, two class advisors, and two members from the class. Each participant is allowed ten minutes in which to deliver his oration. Ellsworth Weaver and Evelyn Nielsen, from the Freshman class, and Dorothy Vail and Othello Wheatley, from the Sophomore class, were successful in the preliminaries. The date for the final contest was set for May 17th. r i hv ♦I 103 ] 'Deluiling Tennis F.rnf.st Ward Marion Wallace Fdythe Halverson Leonard Judkins F.LI.SWORTH WKAV E R Frank Mouriisf.n Oi hei.i.o Wheatley «04J� Ions- (). Bl.Ayi.OCK • Ar Advisor Wallace Walker Manager Debating DI KING the school year of 1925-26 Weber College has experi- enced particular growth in its debating work. The debating club under the able leadership of Wallace Walker started with an impetus that has lead to real accomplishment. Since debating is a sport which demands of its participants expert training, Professor Blaylock was appointed as director of the debators. As a reward for the untiring efforts of these leaders, Mr. Walker and Professor Blaylock, they have been able to see their organization function in a constructive way that has shown advancement over former debating seasons. Their forming of three men’s teams has increased the number of de- bators who can participate in the activity. Their organization of a woman’s debating team has given to the women of Weber College a new opportunity. The additional teams have made possible the meet- ing of a greater number of schools in forensic contest. The boys’ teams have prepared to meet the Junior College Debating League require- ments and those of the I ni versify of I rah; while the girls have not only established a precedent by their work, but have made contracts with schools outside the state. Their organization has fostered new inter- state debating relationship and established Weber before a wider range of people. ♦I 105 1 Debating Qontests THK first debate had for its subject Resolved: That Congress should be empowered to pass uniform Marriage and Divorce Laws. This debate was held “Oxford Style” with mixed reams. Frank Mouritsen, Othello Wheatley, Marian Wallace, and F.dythe Halverson represented Weber in this contest with Branch A. C. of Cedar City. The second debate of the year was between Weber and Brigham Young College. Ernest T. Ward and Othello Wheatley debated against their B. Y. C. feminine opponents on the subject, Resolved: That Con- gress was justified in making the reductions in the income rax provided for in the new income rax law of 1926. B. Y. C., the negative, won the debate. The third debate was between the Weber girls’ team, consisting of Marian Wallace and Kdythe Halverson, and the Young Ladies’ De- bating Team from the Colorado State Teachers College. The subject for debate was, Resolved: That the Constitution of the I’nired States should be so amended as to give Congress power to regulate Child La- bor. The visitors, speaking on the negative side, won the debate. The fourth debate was between Ricks College and Weber. Leonard Judkins and Frank Mouritsen, speaking on the proposition, Resolved: That Congress was justified in making the reduction in the income tax as specified in the 192b revenue, won the debate. The next debate, with the L. I). S. I’niversirv, was held at Salt Lake City. Othello Wheatley and Ellsworth Weaver made up the Weber team. L. I). S. won this debate, which was again on the Income Tax question. A fitting climax to Weber’s 192b debating season was a contest be- tween Weber and the College of the Pacific. The subject for debate was, Resolved: That Congress should be empowered to regulate Child Labor. Edyrhe Halverson and Marian Wallace debated against the Coast op- ponents in this, the last debate of the year. 106 I V URN AL SriMl-SON California John Chadwick Mexico («rant im.ua I orthivest Kkwin N ki.sds Canada I.kRoy Murdock California Wallace Budge Kurland Rulon Pendklton Germany Alex Patterson Southern Statej Chester Engstrom South Africa Ellsworth Weaver California Leonard Judkins South effrica Paul Blaylock Northwest Leslie Christensen Germany Wallace Walker lustralia Stki'hex Durr ant Saisi'Gertnan Elmer Nielson Xorthern States ♦I 07 !♦ Harvby I.. Taylor Chester J. Meyf.rs Director Director of Night Classes 'Dramatic zArt A NO! I IKK page has been added to Weber’s history, and another dream has been realized by the establishment of a Dramatic Art Class in Weber College. Ogden City, Weber County, Northern Utah as a whole, have felt for some time the need of dramatic development; and now Weber has reached the stage where she is able to fill the posi- tion expected of' her, that of being a dramatic center tor not only northern I rah, but for the other Intermountain states as well. The aims and aspirations of the new department are to lift the Drama here in the West to its proper sphere among the fine arts, and to become a fully equipped and competent dramatic laboratory for the entire Inter- mountain region. To this end, capable instructors have been procured to lead in the dramatic arts, thousands of dollars worth of new dramatic equipment has been installed, and above all, students of Weber and the people of the surrounding country are united in the work of elevating the new department to the fulfillment of its dreams. «?[ 1 io ]«► THK TRY.STINtt I'l.ACK NOT A MAN IN TIIK HOUSE I'ME KLEPTOMANIAC One-zAct :Plays AUTUMN OCARTKR THK Dramatic Art Department made its public debut just prior to the Christmas holidays, when it presented three one-act plays. Weber’s new scenery made its premier appearance to Ogden people at this time. The first play, Booth Tarkington's “The Trysting Place,” was one of the most equisite comedies staged. The second play, “The Kleptomaniac,” was a clever farce woven around the complications re- sulting from a lost purse. The third play, “Not a Man in the House,” was a farcical comedy portraying the difficulty of keeping a man out of the house. Students of dramatic art, under the direction of Harvey L. Taylor, were the characters. SPRING OCARTER PEOPLE. of Ogden were given another treat in dramatics during the tore part ot May, when five one-act plays were presented by the Dramatic Art Department under the direction of Professor C. J. Myers. The first of these was the most famous of Irish plays, “Spreading the News,” a comedy by the renowned Lady Gregory. The second play was “Joint Owners in Spain,” a humorous picture of life in an old ladies’ home. The third play, “Their Aunt from California,” was filled with laugh-provoking complications arising from the expecting of an aunt and a dressmaker at the same time. “The Burglar,” that old, but ludi- crous story of the cat, accused of being a burglar, was the next produc- tion. The last play of this series was “Her First Assignment,” a farce woven around the efforts of a young girl to get her first news item, and the ultimate recovery of stolen bon-bon dishes. Thirty-four students of the dramatic art classes took part in these plays. Jane FOR the first time in the history of Weber College the annual play has been taken on a tour. “Jane,” one of the best comedies in the dramatic field, toured Morgan, llovtsville, Kvanston, Davis High School, Brigham City, Bear River City, Malad, Idaho, anti Wells, Nevada, playing to capacity houses at each presentation. During a three-night run here in Ogden, nearly fifteen hundred people laughed through the mirth-provoking three acts, and acclaimed “Jane as the best play ever presented by Weber. The talented cast came in for their share of praise, being cited by the press as l eing almost of professional standard.” Never in Weber’s history has greater en- thusiasm toward a school play been shown, than was manifested by Weber students toward Jane. Over twelve hundred tickets were sold in a canvas of the city. Real histrionic ability was shown by the cast of “Jane.” Kmma Buehler played the character of Jane with a finesse and finish not often seen in amateur performances. Klmcr Neilsen’s characterization of William Tippen, Jean’s butler husband, was a work of art. («rant Ellis portrayed the handsome leading man, Charles Shackleton, in a realistic manner. Rigby Jacobs’ performance as Claude, a serving boy, was excellent; the house was in an uproar when he was on the stage. Genieve Moves played the char- acter of Mrs. Chadwick, a sedate spinster with a fiery temper. To perfection, Maurine Hinckley was charming in the character of l.ucy, Mrs. Chadwick’s niece; her scenes with Shackleton were especially well done. Alice Gindin gave a true characterization of a rough, loud woman in her role of Mrs. Pixton. Don Wakefield furnished the sur- prise at the climax by his superb portrayal of Pixton. Harvey I- Taylor, the director, is deserving of highest praise for the splendid work he did in sponsoring a play of the excellence of Jane. Old Jyjdy 31 A SI CCESS scored by Weber’s night class in play production was “Old Lady 31.” This play has attained some prominence in New York, Chicago, and other Eastern cities, and has been used by many colleges throughout the country as a play representative of the best in drama. It has proved in Ogden to be of the same high standard as “The Harp of Life” and “Jane.” It combined the humor of “Jane” with the drama and pathos of “The Harp of Life,” and still maintained a decided air of distinction. The setting was laid at an old ladies’ home, the play being woven around the story of an aged couple whom circumstances had evicted from a home of their own. The love manifested by this old couple proved to be the tie which kept them together in the Home, the hus- band becoming “Old Lady 31.” The cast consisted of Bertha V. Winn, Don Wakefield, Olea B. Sherman, Mrs. Eva Ekins, Elva Moss, Jose- phine Robines, Pearl Denning, Hazel B. Jones, Dan Van Kampen, Genieve Moves, Grant Ellis, and Rigby Jacobs. These characters made an auspicious and creditable portrayal of their respective parts and were very deserving of the many compliments that were tendered them. “Old Lady 31,” besides being presented in the Weber College audi- torium, was given in the Twelfth Ward Amusement Hall, April 24th. The receipts were turned to the Twelfth Ward missionary fund. This play has evidently been heard of outside of Ogden, for numerous re- cjuests have been received for the play to be taken elsewhere. Professor C. J. Myers directed the production. 114 ]� si 11 The Faculty Reception WKBF.R’S 1925-26 social season was formally ushered in by the Faculty Reception, held September 25, in the Gymnasium Ball- room. Students, parents, alumni members, and friends, all guests of the President and Faculty, met in true Weber spirit, and made this third Faculty Reception an outstanding event in the record of social activi- ties. The host of alumni members in attendance, set a mark of approval on the progress Weber has made socially, and inspired the students to strive for still finer social successes. The presence of townspeople at the reception proved that Weber is being increasingly recognized as a real factor in the community, a Junior College of the finest type. N October 12, the Sophomore class set a precedent in the giving of an informal “reception and get-acquainted” dance for the Freshmen, in order that they might be initiated into the Weber spirit of friendliness and comradeship. A spirit of fraternalism prevailed throughout the afternoon. F.MBERS of the Acorn Staff held a delightful party February 14th, at the home of Miss Ruth Merrill, at which time the St. Valentine motif was interpreted in decoration, dance, and game. Per- haps one of the most prominent games of the evening was a peanut hunt when members of the start' found that peanuts grew on roses, lampshades, and even on the furnace. Refreshments consisted of Valen- tine ice cream and cakes. The Herald Staff has had an unlimited supply of energy all year. Al- though they have edited the school paper in a very successful and pleasing manner, they still had some surplus “pep . This “surplus” has been expelled chiefly by means of staff parties. Socials have been held at the homes of Alice Tanner, Stella Mouritscn, Maurine Hinckley and Rowland Morrell. Professor Myers, the faculty advisor, also enter- tained at his home. “Roost” parries were occasionally organized and advantage taken of the fine operas and plays at the Orpheum Theater. The Sophomore Ppception zAcorn and Herald Staff ‘'Parties 116 ] zJxCount Ogden Hike IT WAS a glorious September morning when a group of Weber merry-makers started upon their annual climb of Mr. Ogden. Up and up they climbed, steadily nearing the distant peak, so bleak and barren against the deep blue sky. At noon they reached the top. Enor- mous appetites constituted their only reserve energy. The flag was raised and a program was given by the students. Elmer Nielson fur- nished an extemporaneous “Sermon on the Mount.” From the high peak an excellent view of the surrounding country could be obtained. The I.ucin cut-off stretched like a dark thread across the silvery waters of the Great Salt Lake. Weberites were indeed high up in the clouds! In his attempt to paint the flag pole, Don Stewart succeeded in spill- ing the white paint inside his overalls. His hiking clothes, boots, and overalls will bear record of this event, as well as his nick-name “Flag Pole Stewart.” At seven o’clock came the end of that perfect day when all the hikers arrived home tired, but happy. They all agreed that it was one of the most elevating days during the school year. • • ♦ dMiissionary and Faculty Party ON the evening of January 21, the Missionary Club, one of the liveliest organizations in the school, entertained the Faculty in the “kitchen.” The evening was taken up with games, contests and stunts. The feature of the evening was the dramatization of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by the Faculty. Eva Browning, who was Little Eva, ascended to heaven on a step ladder. Mr. Taylor was Eliza, and Mr. Meyers, as the bloodhound, pursued her, or him, across the ice. Miss Read and Mrs. Walker drew the curtains, and the rest of the Faculty supported the players by applauding loudly on all occasions, and pass- ing onions among the audience during the sad scenes. This play was considered one of the biggest dramatic scucesses of the year. The mis- sionaries retaliated by giving a performance of a circus sideshow, which was a fitting climax to a highly entertaining evening. 7 I� The Sophomore 'Parties THE first Sophomore party was held October 9, at the home of Mrs. David Eccles. As this was a general get-acquainted affair, the program was arranged so that every student present intermingled with his fellow classmates. Games, dancing, and refreshments, insured the success of the evening. The second party was held in the cafeteria. Never has “our kitchen” seen such a gay crowd of merry-makers as those who arose from the pile of tiresome books on an early Monday evening of February i, to join with fellow Sophomores in a few hours of hilarious sport. Every minute brought a new kind of fun. Surprises of versatile creation issued from all parts of the room. The most thrilling event of the evening oc- curred at the time of the contest to displace the nickles which rested on the nose of each of the eight boys who were stretched out on the table. The sentiment voiced by each of the fifty-five members present testi- fied to the pleasure of the social event. The Freshmen Parties HALLOWE’EN was the time chosen by the Freshmen for their first class party. Orange and black decorations adorned the dance hall at the home of Mrs. David Eccles, adding charm and mystery to the occasion. Black cats and witches which greeted the students failed to frighten them away. During the evening everybody danced: the bashful, the bold, those who knew how, and those who did not. Profes- sor Myers kept the interest at its height by introducing get-acquainted games and dances. One of the interesting features of the evening was a “Lemon Dance. Lemons were passed among the girls, and at the end of the dance, those holding the lemons were required to eat them. A high standard in socials was established by this party, and class spirit and interest was greatly increased. A second party was held February 12, in the cafeteria; this party maintained the standard set by the first. Again everyone danced, this time to music from the Brunswick Panatrope. Various games and con- tests interspersed with the dancing; the ones causing the most interest were a bean race and a pin race. Ice cream and wafers were served later in the evening, in spite of the fact that the Sophomores got away with the cakes at the beginning of the party. The Freshmen have proved by their socials that they are not as dead as Dan Van Kampen accused them of being, nor are they deserving of the title of “The Deadwood Club” as lorn Browning suggested. Qiris' Day GIRLS Day is an annual affair at Weber College. Its purpose is to encourage a more democratic and friendly spirit at the institution. This year May 7th was set apart for the observance of this event. A drawing was held several days previously, at which time, students were paired off. Friday noon, a tug-of-war took place between the Freshmen and Sophomore girls, the Sophomores capturing honors. In the after- noon the girls took their partners to the Egyptian Theatre and in the evening the boys were entertained at a very pleasing and artistic dance given by the girls in the Weber Gymnasium. • • • High School Day TO promote the interest of High School students in Weber College and to obtain their cooperation in her endeavors, a day is set aside each year for the entertainment of seniors from the several ad- joining counties. High School Day was held this year on May 14th. In the morning’s devotional exercises sixty students from Morgan pre- sented a program which included several musical numbers, readings, and speeches. In the evening, seniors from Boxelder, Morgan, North Davis, and Ogden High school enjoyed a delightful dancing party given by Weber students in the Gymnasium ball-room. Honor Day HONOR Day was held Friday, May 21. All students who have participated in special school activities received awards or honor- able mention. 'These included Student Body officers, Acorn and Herald staff members, Literary journal staff members, participants in athletics, college play actors, debators, contestants in the Grant Oratorical con- test, Barker Extemporaneous Speaking contest, and Flora Eccles Douglas literary contest, and students receiving scholarship awards. In the evening all honor students were entertained at a special banquet and dance. The zAcorn Ball NF.YKR in the history ot Weber has there been a more enchant- ingly beautiful and artistic affair than was the Acorn Ball ol 1925. The Weber Gymnasium was gorgeously decorated to interpret the Spirit of Christmas and the New Year. Lighting effects in the ball room were produced by myriads of multi-colored lights from Christmas trees, Yule wreaths, red and green spotlights, and immense stars. A dark blue star-sprinkled canopy covered the magnificent queen’s throne. Christmas carols sung by merry revelers added to the spirit of Christmas which pervaded the hall until ten o’clock when the Queen of the New Year, guided by the Spirit of 1926, advanced in a Hood of white light to her throne where Father Time waited to acknowledge her reign. With the ushering in of the New Year red and green lighting effects gave way to white. As court entertainers the Boys’ Glee Club and Miss Katherine Sluifflebarger interpreted the New Year spirit. Miss Stella Mouritsen was the Queen of the Acorn Ball and Elmer Nielsen, Father l ime. Under the leadership of Miss Marian Read, faculty advisor, members of the Acorn Staff comprised the committee and directed the activities. Q'allege Prom THE annual College Prom was held on Eebruary 26 in the Berthana ball-room. Simplicity and beauty were the keynotes of the eve- ning, while beautiful ferns formed the only decorations. The young ladies and gentlemen in evening clothes made a lasting impression not soon forgotten by those who were present. Appropriate music, under the direction of Olie Reeves, contributed to the success of the party. The Promenade, which began at 9:30, was very unusual and added an air of distinction to the party. Many beautiful formations were made during the grand march, which was led by Miss Evelyn Nielson and Mr. Donnell Stewart. Mrs. Samuel 1C Blackham demonstrated her fine artistic ability when she formed this promenade. Weber College fosters one formal event a year to encourage the ar- tistic and asthetic form of dancing and to attempt carrying over a permanent love for beauty and grace in public dances. The parry was more successful this year than ever before, and in the future, it prom- ises to be the biggest event of the year. The committee in charge of the Prom was composed of Grant Ellis, chairman, Roland Morrell, Ethel Holmgren, Evelyn Nielson, and Marian Wallace. Qalendar Weber College Dear Pop anti Mom: I beegun skool hear at Weber. It’s a reel nice skool but gosh I shurc wuz green.

The next day in assembly that was Oct. 15, we had our next Barker Oratoriclc contest anil l.i a Ann spoke. I just gave her my whole harted suport but luck scanted to bee against her and l.arcnce VanDike won it. Knyway I liked tier speech lots the best. The 23rd was our football game w ith the Idaho Tech. I couldn't take l.iza Ann with me, hut she come to see me play cnyway. And I could hecr her ycllin for me to heat the hand, and I know thats why our team won. I made one of the best plays of the hole year. I carried the ball from one end of the field rite doun to the goal. Kvrybudy just veiled and screcmcd like they was wild. The score was 6 to 3, and I made 4 points. Kliza Ann was sure proud of me after that game. I tuk her to the dance that nite and she hiked so purty and I hlieve she liked me more thun ever after that game. Im sure it must have been the game pop, cus I was so stiff an sore I couldn' dance desent nur nothin. A few days after, I took I.iza Ann to the Freshmen party. It wuz held in the halroom of the Kklcs home and wuz the swcllcst affare Ivc ever been to. An boy, they gave us the sweilest cats, I felt like I wuz home. Thet remines inc school closes thursday. gee I wish I could come home. Arc you goin to hav a turkey? Tell granma Id enjoy some of that puddin of hers rite now. I gess I’ll have to eat at Ross ami Jacks, thats where all us football fellers ear after sc kook 1 want to tell you about what a good school we got. Kvrybudy worked so hard to advertise the game thet the sekool decided we all ought too see the game. An gess what they did. They shut down sckool and hired trucks and let us all go up to Logan. I Mire got a lot of cdjucatin that day, altho we didnt get much no ledge out of hooks. Anywev it learned me whut sckool spirit wuz. The truck I wuz in got a fiat tire anti it wouldnt go up the steep hills nor anything, hut cnyway we all got out anti pushed. And one of the trucks coudnt come fast at all and the people whut wuz in that truck wuz awfully late, hut when they got their they yelled just as much as the rest of them did. I learned a lot of songs that day too. one of them wuz Ki, yi, yi, yi, we arc students in our war cry Ki, yi, yi, yi, we arc students in our war cry We arc out to win our fame We arc out to win this game Ki, yi, yi, yi, ki, yi, yi, yi, ki, yi, yi, yi, YIH! Its a Injun song. Ill sing it and dance it for you when I git home, hut I dont hlieve cnyone could do it like our yell leader Garnet does. And the best time of all come on the w ay back after we won the game 20-19. Pop, ivc been wishin that sometime or other I could hav gone on a mission. All the sweilest fellers in this school belong to a club thats called the Missionaries and let me tell va, pop, they sure no there stuff. Some of the fellers can talk in every langwagc maginahle and they can talk fer hours and hours. Its shurc great. They all talked in ascmblv one day anti l.iza Ann she hardly spoke to me at all hut kept lukin an Likin at those missionary fellers all the time an it made me kind of mad, tho I didnt say nothin. Knyway the next day the 4th of nov. i thot id get even and so I tries! to show her that 1 could talk just as good as those fellers, and so I talked for the 4th Barcker contest in ascmblv. I ccrtinlv had a take-down that day tho fer I had to surrender to a woman, Alice Tanner, i desided cnyway that wimmin allways cud talk more than men. I had a hard time to make up with l.iza Ann after that. But I gess she thot that she ought to use her sckool spiret; noing that us football fellers had to plcy Westminster that night. So she forgave me fer being so jcllous about her paying so much attention to them missionaries, and we made up hv goin down to Salt Lake to the game, (of course Liza had to go with the other football feller’s girls cuz 1 was playin. I was shore glad I took Liza Ann to that game, cause it was a walk away. You can just imagin-the score was 32-7 for Weber. ] «4 2b I was hopcing all the time that there wouldnt he no more of them Barker contests. I knew it would only bring unpleasant memmeries to Liza Ann and me about our quarrcll and everything. But the very next day we had one. I was shore glad I didnt enter for I wouldnt have had a chanct at all with Vernal Stimpson. It seemed they wuz trying to rub my failure in after that, cus it just rained ortorikal contests afterwards. We ha l one most every day, for four days. It seemed like the women shore could hold there own too. The second day, Dorothy Vail won, then Steve Durant brought the men to victory by winnin the ncckst day. Then, in the fuels, Grant F.'lis estrablist the place for the men Friday, being Armistice day me and Liza Ann drew up a peace term between us, and we dcccidid we wouldnt never get mad and light any more. Thanks to Arthur Wooley who talked in the ascmbly that morning anti made us see how fullish war wus. I studied awfully hard that week end, cause Liza Ann went up home to Brigham city, and I didnt have anything else to do. I wus glad to go back to sekool the next monday so I could see her again. But I no sooner entered the sekool hnildin than they told that it wus Kducational week. Imagine my surprise. I tliot I wus bcin educated every week, especially this laxt week end. However I discovered that I was goin to he educated more than ever this next week. Kvry day some man from the city come and give us some good speaches bout how important our education is. We all began to think seriously after that and we worked and studied most all the time. The only relief we got, came w ith the Weber V.S. Kicks game. All us foot-ball fellers went up to Rexburg, and I had to leave Liza Ann behind. It wus than that 1 began to reli c how much I eared fer her. All the time I kept a wonder in what she was doin down here and who she wus dancin with at the student body dance they had here at home that night. I new she must be thinkin of me once in aw hile since us fellers won the game IJ to 0. I wus ccrtunly glad when I got back home to Liza Ann again tho. It seemed a year since I had been away, and while I w as gone Vernal Stimpson had walked away with the Grant Oratorical contest and Alice Tanners heart. I ccrtunly hip-hoorayed for Vernal. It took me a long time to get back to work after that game. Kli a Ann heard a lot of scandal about us. fellers while we were gone and she believed it all. I wus absolutely true to her but Bob Martin and Floyd Bailey acted awfully at the dance they gave for us up there. Of course it gave the rest of us fellers a black eye. but thanks to Pete I finally got Liza Ann to believe in me again. It wasnt long after that until all the pretty girls in the sekool, includin I.iza Ann began to give us fellers the high brow. I couidnt imagin what had come over Liza Ann, until one day I read her name on the Bulletin Board and it said she was a prospeckt for the queen of the Acorn Ball. Of Course I couidnt blame her fer fcclin so smart then, an I felt mighty smart of her too. An Pop, talk of spendin money it took every scent I had to buy votes. I took Liza Ann to all the matina dances and every dance i had with her counted five votes, and also five cents. So you see, it didnt take long to bust me. I got the rest of the football fellers to vote for Liza Ann too. But they all seemed busted, and luck wus against us and Liza .Ann lost. At first Liza Ann was kind of dispointed, but I told her thet anyway she was my queen and then she didnt care. Well, pop, I vc just simply got to take Liza Ann to the Acorn ball and find out who the queen is goin to be. I think that it is goin to be Stella Mouriteson, and so do the other kids. It comes on the 23rd. That is the last day of sekool, and then I can come home to you and Mom for Xmas. Please send me some money pop. right soon Your grarcfull son, Kmo. P.S. No. 1 I’m sending home some pickturcs w hut I took. P.P.S. No. 2 Please mownt them in our allbum. Dear pop and mom: You cant imagin how hard it wus to get started hack to sekool again. It wus almost like starting all over again. I had forgotten almost cvrythin I knew. Evrybudy was in the same fix tho. Right after I got back, we had Founders day, fridav the 8. We celebrated the founding of the sekool in great style. Adam S. Bennion spoke in our ascmbly. Then at 2:30 we had a parade with floats an cvry thing else, and we went to all the varius places where Weber was once at. We basketball fellers had the best float there was, an they let me hold the ball. It wasnt easy when we went over the bumps either, cus i couidnt hold still. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we had a basketball game with I� gan High, and some of the people what was down town, rccugni cd me, from the parade, and said There's the feller we saw tryin to hold so still in the parade. He aint very still now tho.” In the evening I took Liza Ann to hear Arson I. Whitney speak. We went there so as we could get us a free ticket to the dance what they had in the gym. I wouldnt have eared about pay in tho, cause I shore had lots of fun. Altho the 13th is supposed to be an unluky day, us basketball fellers played Moragan and won 56-6. Bov, wasnt that some score? It was an easvy game, but we fellers had to get some practicin. The next day, the sophs an the Frosh had a klass meeting. I was just dicing to find out what the sophs talked about. They wont never let any of there scckrctsout. Finnally I talked Liza Ann into telling me that they arc planning for a big vawdavil. Liza Ann is goin to be one of the fashiun models, that dress up like these here vamphires what you see in the shows. I bet its goin to be some show. I took her to see the “Harp of Life with me. That was a great show. But I dont think she wants to be a model now, after scein what a terrible way that vamphires acted in this here show. Thursday, the «litor to the Acorn (thats our year book) told us that we all had to have our piktures taken. Me and Liza Ann wanted to have ours taken together, bur they said that the boy would have to wear tucksedoes, and since there was only one tucksedo, and evrybudy had to have there pikturc took, we had to take our turn. Knywav, we have deccidid to trade pickturcs. She embarasst me terribly the other day tho, pop. I was right down town, and who should I see comin along, but Liza Ann and a whole lot of other girls on sleds that was being drawn by an old marc that looked like our “kate. At first 1 thot Liza had lost her mind, then I saw the poster what said “Weber-Saints, and I knew she was only advertising the game. That advertising stirred us up too, and helped us to win the game. 11 seemed like Liza Ann and the rest of the girls helped us basket ballfcllers a lot; for when we went up to play the B. V. C., and Kicks, we were defected both times cuz they couldnt chear for us. That shows that moral support counts, doesnt it? I'ebuary, the tst, the sophs held a class party in the kitchun at thcsckool. Of course, we being a green man (freshic) I couldnt attend, but l.iza Ann said evrybudy had a wonderful time, and the kitchun served its purpose (meaning the cats, of course.). Time flew awfully fast at school while I was trying to learn. But I wasnt sorry I learned cause it was long until we had our Junior Prom, which was held at the Berthana (thats the very nicest dance hall in Og- den), on the 26th of Feb. It took a lot of money to get me a tucksedo, buy Liza Ann some flowers, and a ticket for the dance. But it was worth it all. It was the most beautiful dance of the whole year, and Liza looked so swell and beautiful in her new dress that didnt have any sleeves. She looked up at me and smiled so sweet that I almost wanted to kiss her, and she said “Oh, Kmo, the flowers arc so beautiful, and I new- right then that she must love me. You know somehow that dance hail an effect on a lot of people. Virginia Brown, and Sylvan Warner announced their engagement, and it wasnt any time after that until they were married. Somehow I always wanted to say something myself to Liza Ann that night, but lm glad I waited for it wasnt long after that before the tourney for basketball championship started, and I had to concantraite on nothing else except that game. Of course I knew that Liza Ann was backing me all the time. I had an awful hard time of it that week of tourney, for tight along with it came the exams, and how- ever}- one crammed! You could sec the lights burning almost all night. As 1 was coming home from Liza's one night I saw that Monk was still studyin his Theology. F.vrybudy worked awfully hard, and even us basketball fellers made an “A on some of our tests. Besides making a victory in our tests, we had an even better one in the tourney. The first night, we played Kicks, and we defeated them. The second night we played the B. A. C. and defeated them too. But the third and final night the Saints captured the title. z t first, it was quite a dissappointment to us, but we showed our sportsmanship, and treated the winners to a dance. Liza Ann told me that she liked me more than ever before after that. But pop, Monday is registration day, and I must have some more money for books. About Si 5 will do for a while. I'm going to get a job helping Bill, the janitor, on Saturdays, so I wont need so much money after while. Thanks pop, Your most liberal son, F.mo: Dear Mother and Father: Ogden, Utah The eighth of March marked the beginning of our spring quarter. There was a note of seriousness that had never been seen before, and each student began to realize the necessity of obtaining the requirements for graduation. At present, I believe we arc all working toward that end. Dr. Lind received a very large enrollment since his classes were to dismiss a month early. The cast of the play, Jane has been working hard toward a different end—that of making such a re- markable impression upon their audiences that they could entice students, or rather educate them to come to Weber. With this in mind, the cast, together with the quartet, made a tour, playing in Morgan on Thurs- day, March 11; Hoytsvillc, March 12; and Kvanston, March 13. Liza Ann was one of the leading actors in the play, so again I was left alone. The memory of the bus which came to take her away leaves a sad reflection in my mind. However, I kept myself busy preparing for the B. Y. C. debate. That was the beginning debate and it certainly was a terror. That very day I cursed my fate that I should have ever been born a man—our team lost. « [ 128 I The 17th of March, a sketch of “Jane w;ls given in the assembly. And father, I want to tell you how I suffered under the strain of seeing I.iza Ann kissed by Grant Ellis. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, with the exception of myself and I swore I would seek revenge, and had it not been for Eliza Ann I know I would have lost control of myself and made a scene. However, she explained to me that all actors had to do that way, and that they were only playing. So with that explanation and her telling me she loved me most, I decided it was all right even tho 1 wasn't in favor of it. Eliza Ann made a striking impression, however, and an even greater one in the debate with the teachers' college which debate was held the 19th of March. The Colorado girls arc all right, but even tho they did win they don't begin to compare with the Welter girlx—especially one. Altho Welter did lose twice in debating, she didn't xtav behind very long, for in the debate with Ricks College, Leonard Judkins and Pug Mouritson made the judges agree that “Congress was justified in re- ducing the income tax.” Not long after that, the Frosh challenged the Sophomores to a ticket selling contest for “Jane” which was played at Weber the 25th, 26th. and :7th of March. Some of us Frcshic's got even with Rigby Jacobs and the rest of the Sophs, tho. You know, they were almost certain of winning in the ticket contest, so we played a little joke on them. One day we got Rig Jacobs the Soph's president- and had to treat him kind of ferociously to sell - him some tickets for “Jane we sold almost a hundred of our tickets to him and also a black eye and sev- eral bruises.? I Ic decided it didn't pay to resist the Frosh for he walked around on crutches for a week after- wards. During all this time, spring was gradually approaching. Jump the rope and marbles became the favorite out-door sports, while on the other hand, pnrkology was the most interesting school subject. Our teachers realized our need for a rest, so on the 2nd of April the school was closed for a spring vacation. Eliza pur- chased a new caster bonnet and we went down to Salt l.ake to conference. About the 9th of April, the institution was visited by a missionary, Horace Thackcry, who promul- gated the theory that all Sophomores should give five minute speeches In-fore leaving the school. That made all the Sophs uneasy and gave them a pessimistic attitude. To add to the troubles of the Sophs, chemistry classes were held from two to five, which did not allow for any matinees” or afternoon walks. However, they did their work willingly, for on April 23rd, Dr. Lind left for Spain, bidding the school a sad adieu. The 24th of April, the invitational track meet was held at Provo. Altho us track fellers” hadn't done much practicing, we came out in pretty good style. Pete, “Star,” Donne!, Monk, and 1 made a remarkable showing. Altho Monk didn’t have any nails in his shoes he came through first class in the races. All of us “fellers got blistered in the hot sun, but the swell eats we got was worth it. They serves! us dinner in the cafeteria, and then afterwards invited us to a dance, but Steve wouldn't let us stay cause it was too far to go home. Tuesday, the Sophs decided to give «is our treat for winning the ticket selling contest, so we had our moonlight hike up to Malan's canyon. While we were singing, an Indian Chief came out from behind the rocks and told us the history of his tribe. At first, we thought he was going to fight with Rigby, because Rigby said the chief was a coward, but after awhile he became very friendly and even sang for us. After- wards we sang and toasted marshmallows. A few couples wandered off higher into the mountains. It was a lovely moonlight night and the winding path to the peak of Malan’s brought romance. Eliza Ann and I found a lonely little spot and there I admitted my love for her. I could not withhold any longer, and so there and then I asked her to be mine for keeps. After that, Eili a Ann and I were inseparable. I took her everywhere with me. Girls' Day I found my- self very lonely. Eliza Ann had drawn another fellow's name and so I had to be sport enough to let her go with him. But I had a lot of fun anyway. I only wish that Girls' Day would come more often. My thoughts began gradually to drift toward the days that had past. The Baccaleuratc sermon was given Sunday, May 23rd, and I knew that it wouldn't be any time before I had to leave all my old friends. Elach day grows dearer and clearer to me now. I'm sure that Weber is the right college; don't you think it has done wonders for me? Ma, I'm going to get Percy and Wilbur to come to school here next year. Will you say something to them? Our commencement exercises arc going to be held the 2$th day of May. I'm going to buy Liza Ann some fiowers to wear with her new graduation dress. And listen, folks. I'd like to have you come down here if you can to the graduation exercises. In the meantime {«op, will you send me some money for the Acorn? When I get back on the farm I'll try to work hard to repay you. Do yo«i think I can come back here again next year, pop? I’d surely like to. Hoping to hear from you soon, Your devoted son, Emo. I 13° I «Autographs «l 131 ] In Appreciation T11E success of any year book depends entirely upon those people who contribute their efforts during its construction. A word of' thanks is therefore due those in- dividuals who have so willingly aided us in the creation of this volume, that it might stand as a monument in the history of our school. To M iss Marion T. Read, faculty advisor for the Acorn, we owe our deepest appre- ciation. I ler conscientious, poignant advice has rendered such constructive criticism, that the staff members have been able to accomplish their respective tasks in coopera- tive harmony. 1 ler courage and prudence have guided us to a successful completion. We appreciate the attitude and cooperation of the faculty and student-body for their faith and confidence in those who have led this task. Sufficient expression of praise cannot be given in this short space to those members of the staff who have so diligently worked with that purpose in mind, of creating a better Acorn. Miss Virginia Wardlcigh, associate editor, has admirably assisted in editing this collection of the college year. She has been especially helpful in cases of emergency, when it has been necessary for material to be completed by a certain date. Her inspiring personality has rendered a lovely association. Among the typists, Miss Ardell Cardon, Miss Melba McKinnon, and Miss Glenna McKinnon have willingly contributed their time and efforts. Quietly and effectively, Miss Cardon has worked, sometimes until the early hours of the morning. Through the courtesy of Mr. 11. X. Swanson, we have been given special permission to reproduce as our frontispiece, the sketch drawn bv Franklin Booth. This drawing was originally printed by College Humor in their January, 1926 issue. To Mr. LeConte Stewart, we extend our sincere thanks for the valuable advice he has rendered us in regard to the art work done here. John Q. Blaylock, Harrison Barker, Erwin Nelson, Vernal J. Stimpson, Wayne Thomas, and Leonard Steimlic arc tieserving of credit for their sportsmanlike assistance in the photographic work. To Irving Jones, we are grateful for the splendid posters which he made to advertise the Acorn. The division sketches, drawn by Miss Evelyn Palmer, illustrate her exceptional ability; she is to be congratulated upon her beautiful work. The better lettering on the athletic pictures is the work of Lawrence Leavitt of the Ogden High School. Ivan Jones is well deserving of our thanks for the two beautiful poems appearing on pages 23 and 28 respectively. Lastly, we sincerely extend our hearty thanks to Mr. A. A. Luliersky of the David J. Molloy Company, Chicago; Mr. Elmer Finch of the Salt Lake Engraving Company; Mr. Walter A. I loencs of the Link-Tiffany Studio; and the members of the A. L. Scoville Press for the splendid cooperation they have afforded us in rushing this book through. Many others have given freely of their time and energies to make this volume an acceptable and representative Weber publication. Unfortunately, lack of space pre- cludes mention of more than those listed. However, we thank them, one and all. may 17, 1926 Bund Ruben stein} Editor 1 132 J 'The Burning Question is settled hen you buy BURNSRIGHT UTAH S LOW ASH UOAI. sold by ELLIS FUEL CO Where clean coal is kept clean Phone 666 The rRoycil Barber Shop 307 TWENTY-FOURTH STREET WE are now fully equipped to do all the barber work for the entire family.
