Lind, whose determi- ned and sustaining faith in Weber has marked him her friend, whose sin- cere devotion to her in charted and un- charted seas has done much to estab- lish her individuality, before whose sym- pathetic support of our Alma Mater we, as faculty and students, kneel, the Staff dedicates this 1927 Acorn, knowing that he is the Viking. Working with the theme of individuality and self-reliance, the 1927 Acorn Staff has waived Weber’s annual precedent through concrete motive—interpretation— by referring on every page to the Viking ship, the most uni- que possession of a daringly self-reliant people. Not to please nor to impress but to acknow- ledge those whose race is our own, from whom Weber received her mortgaged beginning, un- der whom she has been endowed a college— separate in purpose, separate in ideal and sep- arate in organization from all other Utah col- leges—has been the purpose for our class. The ACORN 197.7 HE FI NED, steady rovers were the Vikings, who, when the lure of discovery and the glory of their ships cutting the wave and flinging spray no longer urged them over the sea, returned joyful to their homes never to leave again till the new urge came. Fore- seeing that you will some day desire to re- visit Memory Isle in your own Viking ship, the staff-artist has inserted these sketches of the campus—sketches which, if you so desire, will serve as your passport and as your guide- book in that land.

BLOOD North Davis Stake The ACORN 19 17 The Board of Trustees AS TIIE executives fartherest removed from the students themselves, but most definitely connected with student welfare, the members of the Board of Trustees have sympathetically assisted Weber College to its status as a self-reliant educational institution. These men have, this year, consistently and generously planned for Weber, as leaders, and supported her, as men. Stepping far enough ahead of the students and side by side with Presi- dent Aaron W. Tracy, this Board, under the guidance of its president, Thomas E. McKay, has served to bind together the College and the Church Board of Education, and through its vision and foresight to emphasize We- ber individuality. Alumni ONCE a Weber student, always a loyal supporter of Weber activities and ideals!” This is a keynote to a distinctive characteristic of the spirit of our college which has reached its culmination in the Alumni As- sociation ably guided by John Q. Blaylock, Harvey L. Taylor, Bertha Eccles Wright, Erma Galbraith and Lucille Parry, officers. As guardians of Weber College, the Alumni, in recognition of this school’s services to them, purpose that this institution may become pre- eminent in this community. Each year the members, visualizing a greater and more influential Weber, purchase a property addition to our campus. They are also loyal supporters of the Tournament, school socials, the Little Theatre movement, and all other school activities, and each year they give a banquet and dance wherein the graduates are made official members of the association. That Weber spirit, through the self-reliant, unflinching character of its students of yesterday and today, may influence the lives of those with whom these graduates come in contact, and that progress, through the individuality and righteous efforts of its propogators, may never cease is the sincere desire of this college, and that the fulfillment of such a hope is inevitable so long as we have an alumni association of present enthusiasm, loyalty, and courage, is recognized. The ACORN 19 17 President and Faculty WITH the closing of a number of Weber’s sister Junior Colleges through the action of the church education- al board, President Aaron Ward Tracy, the vision endowed admiral-in-chief of the Weber College ship, has contended this year for the school, realizing that on his attitude to- ward existing conditions rested the support of the church and the admiration of the people. In spite of the extreme strain that the president and his faculty have fought under, they have observed his afore-mocked-at visions and be- come dynamic forces in Weber—forces which have mold- ed the individuality of the college so nicely, that in this, her fourth year, she shows a progress unequaled by that of any other Utah college. Sailing as super-cargo, the faculty members have never refused to spend their time on deck in bad weather nor to pull on the oars when the boat has leaned and leaped and hesitated cunningly on the top of the broken foam. They have at the president’s suggestion equipped their crew and fellow passengers with the knowledge that stands for them in the stead of life-boats; they have cast off the medieval anchors of precedent and conformity and have wrought from the ore of self-reliance the modern anchor of common sense. To their service the small, exceptionally manned liner that is now Weber will stand an endowed tribute. The ACORN 19 17 7 hr Vj Acorn JOSEPH JARVIS EnKlixh A. RUSSELL CROFT Biology LYDIA II.

The ACORN 19 17 Department of Geology and Chemistry EXACT science, of which geology and chem- istry arc major representatives, is the basis of all culture and learning. For the most complete understanding and appreciation of life, one must possess a knowledge of the foundation, origin and evolution of life and the universe, which necessitates an enveloping ac- quaintance with the fields of geology and ChThe wide and variable mineral display of the geology department was enlarged early in the year by an excellent collection of min- erals and fossils secured by Dr. Lind in Soain. Additional specimens of Utah ores were reclass- ified, labelled and carefully arranged in a con- spicuous glass case in the new geology labora- tory. A complete set of minerals and rocks is arrayed in specially prepared cases for in- tensive use by the students. In addition, the department boasts a valuable and rare set of Geological Survey Reports and Monographs which increase in worth as time passes. The Chemistry laboratory is fully equip- ped for a well-founded two-year course whose credits are accepted by any university in the United States. This fact is a testament to the high type of instruction accorded by Dr. Lind. Department of Mathematics and Engineering AS A department few in numbers and consequently increased in efficiency, Mathematics, under the inspiring leader- ship of Merlon L. Stevenson, has more than adequately accomplished the purpose of training its students in perfect con- sistency and in careful and intense con- sideration of the problem at hand. Although Mathematics is not over-pop- ular with college students, the develop- ment secured therein is well worth the ef- forts expended. Other than Geometry and Trigonometry, with which Dr. Hales assists, courses are offered in Calculus, College Algebra and Analytic Geometry. In this connection and also in connection with Trigonometry con- siderable practical field work, constituting a mathematic’s laboratory, is required. Such practice is of value both to those who are regarding the subject as a possible profession and to those who are seeking only generalized knowledge. That this training is invaluable to the development of confidence and self-reliance is evi- dent. [25] The ACORN 19 17 Department oi Physics PHYSICS is a study of th laws which are operatin throughout the universe an are governing all its physici phenomena. A student of th: science must become familia with and be able to explai such phenomena. So intricall are physical principles wove into his domestic, industria and scientific life that his edt cation is hardly begun withou some knowledge of them. I fact, they should be the ver foundation upon which th structure of a student’s edu cation is built. Under the able direction o Dr. Wayne B. Hales this dc partment of Weber is rapidl coming to the fore. The typ of laboratory work performe. therein is equal to that of man of our universities. Department oi PoliticaJ Science FOR THE first time since Weber has become a college the depart- ment of Political Science has been placed under separate management. During 1920-27 Dilworth Walker, graduate from Cornell University, has supervised this unit in which supervision he has been assisted by Professor Mayhew, instructor in Ac- counting; Denning and Thurgood, in- structors in shorthand and typing, and Taylor, of Salesmanship. The department of Political Sci- ence boasted the second largest en- rollment of students in the winter quarter, which testifies to the fact that Ogden is a business and indus- trial center. As Mr. Walker recently stated, the aim of the department is to prepare the students to participate in com- mercial enterprises. The courses are so arranged that they permit their graduates not only to enter the field of business immediately, but also to meet the demands of higher in- stitutions of learning. The ACORN 19 17 The Department of Biological Science THE DEPARTMENT of Biological Science has enjoyed normal growth since its origin. With the recent acquirement of new quarters and much added equipment the quality of work offered is of high order. Courses are planned to promote for greatest individuality and re- sourcefulness consistent with sound pedagogy. At the present time the College catalogue lists no courses in Biological Science not sup- plemented by liberal laboratory requirements. Since classes’ usually have less than twenty-five students enrolled and the supply of specimens and equipment is adequate, all students make their own dissections and perform other re- quired exercises on a strickly individual basis. The department aims to assist the students in removing the shackels of routine and placing them on an independent plane. With such em- phasis placed on the solution of commonplace problems students should be able to cope with matters of a serious nature with more than average judgment. For those whose collegiate education is about over, the department aims to point the way to more serviceable and com- plete living. To thosd who are laying a foundation for the professions the work is planned to enable them to meet the require- ments of the most exacting institutions. Department of Home Economics THE HOME is the foundation, in fact, the origin of society. The ideals and standards maintained in the American home today will eventually determine the future of our country. The department of Home Economics seeks to amplify those standards and ideals by intensive training in the science of home management. The courses offered stress the practical development of household efficiency. Besides these general management and food courses, first aid and home nursing classes are conducted, which are accompanied by lectures and dem- onstrations. In the interests of physical compe- tence and student economy, a cafe- teria is maintained by this depart- ment. That its services are highly appreciated is evidenced by continual testaments to its quality and conveni- ence. Students under the direction of Mrs. Tanner likewise aid in pre- pairing food for various banquets and parties sponsored by the college. A tribute is indeed due Mrs. Tanner and her classes m these endeavors and in the sincerity of their desires to elevate the American home to a higher plane. The ACORN 19 17 Department of T.ducation and Psychology THE DEPARTMENT of Education emphasizes the necessity of a thorough professional edu- cation for every candidate seeking a teaching certificate. As a basis for that training it urges the broad and liberal non-professional, or general education. The special courses of this depart- ment, which follow, are designed to acquaint the student with the child and the processes by which it learns, as well as to equip the student with the subject matter to be taught and with a working knowledge of the most economical and effective ways of presenting it. Since teaching is essentially a personal process involving intimate relationships, personal qualities and attitudes are stressed in every course. Professor VVinsor, with Professor Stark, consti- tuted a most efficient teaching force in this de- partment for 1926-27. Both with their own marked personality, have conveyed, to those privi- leged to engage in study under their direction, the desire, by intelligent application of knowledge, to elevate teaching standards. Department of Sociology EVERY subject taught in an educational institution must stand the rigid test of its worth to society before being admitted to the curriculum. No study is of value to a student per se. It is valuable only in so far as its ultimate aim is to prepare him to live with his fellow men. The basic purpose of a depart- men of Sociology in any school is to enable the students to under- stand society and then to formulate a scientific program for social bet- terment. The department of Soci- ology in Weber is progressing very creditably toward this desired goal. The courses in this subject are divided into four main divisions: a study of the general principles of Sociology, a study of the family as a social and educational institution, social pathology, a study of the ills a study of the ills of society, social pathology and adolescense, a study of child training. As part of the regular work each year, the stu- dents visit the following social in- stitutions: the State Mental Hospital. State Prison, State Industrial School, School for the Deaf and Blind, and the Children’s Healh Clinic. The field of Sociology is one of continuous laboratory work. Wherever the student may turn, he is always confronted with definite social problems which he must event- ually help to solve. The ACORN 19 17 Department of History and Government The PHILOSOPHY of social rela- tions is one of the most ancient com- ponents of human wisdom. The story of the development of these social relations, the evolution of society into its present institutions, falls into the province of history. The history courses this year have given an intensive survey of European, American, and British history, establish- ing in the minds of the students a more exact conception of the past, and insur- ing: a finer type of citizenship. Society cannot survive without organ- ization. or government, and government cannot function in a beneficial way unless it is founded upon an intelligent, respon- sive citizenry, which forms the seat of sovereignity. This citizenry should be familiar with the external characteristics and the problems of the governing insti- tutions of the state. The safest and sur- est preparation for the proper solution of these problems is through an intelli- gent study of Political Science. In direct alignment with this purpose the courses of this year have attempted to familiarize the students with the mechanism, functions, problems and their solutions of our government. ] he Library UNDER the direction of Eva Brown- ing the Weber College library has developed into one of the finest among those of Rocky Mountain Junior Colleges. During the summer of 1926 the entire library, consisting of about 7000 volumes, was transposed to larger quarters adjoining the study hall. Two rooms were utilized, a small one in which church books and peridocials were placed, and a large room in which other books were arranged. In the main hall several hundred reference books and classic peri- odicals were shelved in new steel cabi- nets. All of these books, including those of the novel library, have been completely re-classified, and a new filing system in their connection has been established. A valuable addition to the library is a group of books pertaining to the department of English language and literature, a num- ber of Church books, and the ’27 library contribution by the Sophomore class. Books which may be borrowed from the library are concerned with almost Weber ol . . any field of art and science, That by have an appreciation for the opportunities therein offered is evidenced tnt Popularity of the Weber College library. The ACORN 19 2.7 Department of English Language and Litcratun INDIVIDUALITY is definitely chai ac ter istic of the English departmen of Weber College. Under the wise an able leadership of Aaron W. Tracj assisted by Mr. Leland Monson, Mis Marian T. Read and Mr. Joseph Jarvis English language and literature corn ses have attained an admirable statu of efficiency. In harmony with a general aim of th school, the classes have been considera bly limited in enrollment, so that stu dents might be accorded the benefit o individual attention and their abilitie developed correspondingly. It is like wise an aim of the department to pro vide special opportunities and experi ence, in connection with college publica tions, for especially talented students. Courses in English and America} literature, in Freshmen composition, ii public speaking, and in expository writ ing, are listed in the department cur riculum. The methods pursued in th composition classes are comparable t those of no other school. That the English language is beinf effectively and consistently taught i: evident from the type of work therewith accomplished. The Department of Language ALTHOUGH the ultimate aim of language study is not always specifically defined, that its general cultural and educational value and its value as an aid in better understanding our own language is enough to warrant its re- quirement is expected. An unusual system was instituted this year in the language department through the pur- chase of several dictaphones. Both for the de- velopment of a purer accent and for the at- tainment of more fluent expression the use of this machine is unrivalled. As head of the department Professor Thomas is well-fitted, since he has had several years of travel among foreign countries and consequent association with the people whose languages he teaches. This year several students have aided Professor Thomas in this department. Their work is demonstrative of the excellent instruction which they have received at Weber College. During the Spring quarter Miss Eleanor Emmett, language instructor at the Central Junior High, has taken charge of Mr. Thomas’ French Class, since he has been studying in Paris. [30] The ACORN 19 2.7 Department of Music MUSIC is an indication of the vi- brant, energetic condition of a peo- ple. A singing nation is inadvertently a prosperous and happy nation. Weber is a singing school. At games, at ral- ies, at devotionnls, wherever Weber stu- dents are assembled this art finds ex- pression. It is safe to assume that music is a major characteristic of the tradition- al Weber spirit. In this department, courses in singing, public school music, principles, and in- strumental work have been given. A special feature instituted this year, under the direction of Lester Hinchcliff (music) and Mrs. Horn (art), was Music ami Art Week held from May 2 to 7. This event was arranged with the ulti- mate object in view of establishing Weber as the center of fine arts in this com- munity. On May 2, Mr. Fred Dixon, a famous pianist, entertained a large au- dience at Weber College. Tuesday, a large portrait of David 0. McKay, con- tributed by the Weber Alumni Associa- tion, was unveiled. Thursday, The Crea- tion was presented at the Tabernacle under the direction of Mr. Hinchcliff. The College Glee Club aided in the presentation. The soloists were: Emma Woodland, Howard Shupe and William S. Wright. During thp month of May an art exhibit, including that of the Ogden Art Society, was held at Weber College. In connection with the Art movement the school has purchased one painting this year and plans to purchase one or more additional paintings annually. Department of Buildings And Grounds AMONG all departments that of Buildings and Grounds is the most unique. In considera- tion of its special purposes, this department has accomplished as much, or more, than any other one department in the school. When it is further realized that many students are dependent upon the opportunities for income therein offered as a means to education, its importance is more em- phatically revealed. Under the directorship of Mr. Vandcr Hule (“Bill ) the buildings and grounds of Weber have been kept in excellent condition, and many out- standing improvements have been made. This year these improvements were in evidence: The transposing of the library, Geology and Botany laboratories to larger and more convenient quar- ters, and the establishment of the Student As- sociation buildings for the use of the Student Body Council and the publications. The ACORN 19 17 Department of Theology WEBER College presents a concrete example of the value of theological training. Few twentieth-century col- leges have recognized the value of such religious study. In fact, the present trend is rather from, than toward, spirit- ual influence. The standards and ideals—moral, mental, and physical— of this institution are superceded by few schools. That these ideals have been absorbed and perpetuated by Weber students is evident from the fact that Weber students are leaders wherever they may chance to go, leaders with sincere purposes, noble aims, and self-reliant endeavors. Four distinct studies are taught in connection with this department: Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mor- mon, and Doctrine and Covenants. The respective super- visors of each division are: Dr. Hales, Professor Winsor, President Tracy and Professor Blaylock, each of whom is assisted by other college faculty members.

TRACY Ex-officio The ACORN 19 17 Board of Control AS LIEI', with his assistants, guided his small Viking ship across the Atlantic to the green, vine-abounding shores of North America, so Elmer Neilson and the other members of the Board of Control—the student executive council composed of the Student Body officers (Vice-President and Secretary), the two class presidents, a faculty representative (Dilworth Walker), and the college President— have guided the Weber Student Body ship across the waters of indecision to the shores of determined progress. With the unerring vision of masters of the sea. these seven helmsmen have steered their unsteady craft over the reefs and sand bars of two faced rumor, learning each rime they look the wheel more of the lessons of plain sailing. Although they could not prevent the ship from veering, they have in no-wise seriously endangered the lives of either the crew or the super-cargo. Through the hands of these seven have judiciously passed over nine thousand dollars -judiciously because this year shows only a deficit of one-hundred dollars as compared with one of over two thousand dollars for 1925-26. Before these officers, members of future boards will dip their prows in salute as an acknowledgment of the valuable new compass the seven have left in the form of an approved and adopted constitution—one that emphasizes the novel in Weber as well as the novel in all Junior colleges. As a crew we silently thank our captain and his two mates that they have sought port constantly, no matter what the weather nor how badly broken the ship and the super-cargo that they have not lost faith. Public Service Bureau WERE it necessary for the citizens of Ogden to ex- press their appreciation of Weber in a tribute to only one of her organizations, they would impartially of- fer their toast to the Public Sendee Bureau. That they should determine so to do is not odd, since for them the bureau has assembled during the past nine months, the best of Weber talent in various-lengthed programs. For the first time since the beginning of the college, the Public Service Bureau has had a gentleman at its head. Whether or not it has improved under his general- ship can best be deduced when one considers that, in the interest of the college, Mr. Stratford, with the assistance t Miss Tanner Bureau President and Vice-President, respectively- -has sent fifty-seven programs to seven Stakes in three counties which have advertised Weber be- lore some ninety-one hundred people. Although much credit is due Mr. Stratford for the exceptional record the Bureau has established this year, no small amount of praise must be given Alice Tanner, a. ’ a‘s bis associate, has wisely counseled so as best to iiHcrpret Weber’s self-veliancc and individuality through noice music and simple and sincere addresses.

Fall Quarter Tihe Sophomore Class ASSUMING the priorship, by virtue both of its seniority and its ex- perience, the Sophomore class has completely conducted school activ- ities through a year notable in Weber history. In addition they have set an excellent precedent in leaving to this school a memorial of their accom- plishment—a shelf of books, to be known as the ‘27 library, and $50.00 as a foundation fund for the purchase of an original painting. Thinking and acting as intelligence, rather than as custom or tradi- tion demanded, the Sophomores have indeed established their influence in a manner more than commendable. And as past leaders of history, the class of '27 will bear the tangible message of individuality and self-reliance in- corporating the substance of a true Weber snirit into the life of their com- munities.

The Journal was a coordination of the highest type of work accomplished in the English classes with the best articles submitted in the literary con- test. Ivan Jones, Maurine Porter, Thelma Jones. Ardell Cardon, Wilma Rubenstein, Roland Hansen, Arthur Marble and Therma Scoville were the 1926-27 contributors. An opportunity for true literary expansion, for the development of the powers of imagery with the word as a tool, and for obtaining a more pro- found conception of the beautiful was the reward of those whose con- scientious efforts have won them this recognition. Flora Eccles Douglas Literary Contest A woman with an individua! character and a vision, Mrs. Flora Eccles Douglas established a fund several years ago for the furtherance of literary activity in Weber College. Three awards are offered annually: Fifteen dollars each for the best story and essay, and twenty dollars for the winning poem. During the years of its existance there has been re- vealed by the contest medium talent which is excelled by none in other Utah colleges. In 1926 Thelma Jones, Leslie Christensen and Lawrence Overstreet won the awards offered for the best essay, poem, and story respectively. The winning contestants for 1927 are: Ivan Jones for his poem, Dillusionment”; Therma Scoville for her story, “An Epic of the Dust,” and Wilma Ruben- stein for an essay entitled, “This College Generation.” 1 he Literary Club During the spring quarter a Weber Literary Club was organized with Ivan Jones, Thelma Jones, Ardell Cardon and Therma Scoville as charter members. The purpose of this organization is two-fold: To pro- mote literary activities in Weber College and to sponsor the Literary Jour- nal. Membership is accorded students chosen by members of the club at the recommendation of the English faculty. Contributors to the Journal automatically become members. Although this club has not been active this year, because of delay in organization, plans are being formulated for a successful 1927-28 season. The ACORN 197.7 The Herald Staff UNDER the exceptional editorship of Ivan Jones, the Weber Herald— our college bi-weekly paper— has put out not only the required num- ber of issues but, also, the desired article efficiency. That this paper could not have succeeded so well had Mr. Monson, the fac- ulty supervisor, hesitated to criticize the staff and to suggest means for its improvement, is recognized by every student who reads the Herald. To him, then, as well as to the staff, we pay tribute. However, in the Acorn, we wish also to acknowledge the splendid work done by Frank Mouritson and his co-workers who wrote and edited the first three issues of the 192G-27 Herald. In that which has been recorded in the college paper, Weber’s self-re- liance and individuality have been predominant in the editorial, her Viking spirit has been daringly displayed.

In contrast with “Jane” of last year it is a serious play, based upon a story deeply emotional, magnificently ex- pressed. Shirley, played by Beth Winkler, was indeed supberb. Strength of character manifested itself in her every ac- toin, courage and determination in her every attitude. The role of John Beckett Ryder was portrayed by Rulon Budge. His character representation was magnificant— the “Lion” to perfection, egotistic, powerful and despo- tic. Other members of the east ably displayed know- ledge of the art of acting, demonstrating their talents to the delight of all who witnessed the play. The east is as follows: Jefferson Ryder, (Casped Wods); Mrs. Rossmorc, (Eleanor Stark); Judge Rossmore, (Jack Craven); Mrs. Ryder, (Carina Francis); Rev. Pontifax Deedle, (Ellsworth Weaver); Miss Nesbitt, (Dorothy Israel- son); Judge Stott, (Winfield Hancock); Fitzeroy Bagley, (Nolan Taylor); Senator Rob- erts, (John Griffin); Kate, (Vida Wright); Expressman. (Henry Watson); Jorkins, (Charles Emmett); Maid, (Mildred Reese). “The Lion and the Mouse” was presented four times in Ogden, and in Morgan, Da- vis, Brigham City, Bear River High School, Garland, and Malad before a total of over seven thousand people. Unusual skill was exhibited by Professor Harvey L. Taylor in his excellent direc- tion. It was his careful and intensive study of the minute details of the play, his un- tiring efforts, and his do it over again” that made it possible for Weber College to make a success of such a type of drama as “The Lion and the Mouse.” His Night Out THIS play, a farce, was directed by Harvey L. Taylor and sponsored by the Weber drama club. It was produced at Ogden and at Layton before large audiences whice were kep in a continual state of excited expectation and riotous laughter. The complete cast of His Night Out” is as follows: Jones, (Don Wakefield); abeneezer Goodley, (Roland Morrell); Bishop, (Francis Bott); Richard Heatherly, (Iteede Ames); Bigbee, (Billy Wright); Holder, (Othello Wheatley); Mrs. Goodley, (Dorothy Israelson); Jane, (Emma Buehlev); Marjorie Goodley. (Ethel Holmgren); Minerva Goodley, (Norma Jensen); Alvina Starlight, (Geneve Moyes); Helma, (Ruth Naisbitt). The demonstration of the histronic ability of these students served to emphasize the met that Weber College is fast becoming a center of community drama, drama which uphold the highest standards and ideals possible in the exploitation of its art. The ACORN 19 17 The Community Theatre DRAMA is a poetic interpretation of life. Down the ape-long trail of human existance nations have expressed their emotions in the form of drama, which is, in itself, a keynote to the vitality and initiative of any race. Nations, states, and communities of today have discovered that drama is one of their greatest assets—assets which will mold for them more ap- preciative and art-lcving citizenry. In our own state practically every large community, but Ogden, had recognized this fact prior to the organ- ization of The Little Theatre at Weber College. While the outward evi- dences of this movement occupy but a year in time, years of previous thought and effort have been directed toward its ultimate establishment. Since its founding in the spring of 1926 The Little Theatre, or as it is now called “The Community Theatre.” has been instrumental in the pre- sentation of nearly twenty plays in this and in associated communities. In the fall of 1926 “The Unchastened Woman,” played by members of the Drama Club, was presented at Weber College. Its ovation, in recognition of the unusual talent of the cast and the purpose behind the production, was immediate. During February Mr. Frank Rasmussen, of New York, was engaged in connection with movement. He directed two plays, “The Prodigal Hus- band, and “Under Cover,” utilizing the best of our local talent therein. Soon afterwards Mr. Edmund Evans, likewise from New York, applied for the privilege of joining The Community Theatre. Realizing that this was another opportunity to secure the best in drama, to establish The Little Theatre upon a more substantial basis, and incidentally to increase the fund for the College campus, officers of the organization gladly accepted his prop- osition. Immediately Mr. Evans organized a comnany in which were enrolled the permanent services of the following: Mr. Frank Rasmussen, who was to assist in the directing, and Mr. Ronald McBurney, Miss Thelma Hardwick. Miss Joan Burroughs, Mr. Leonard Strong, Miss Mae Roberts and Miss Ramona Storey. With this standing cast, talented local people and college students have displayed their abilities nightly before large and sympathetic audiences which are gradually awakening to the aesthetic and cultural value of a com- munity theatre. The list of plays presented by the Evans players is chronologically as follows: “The Whole Town’s Talking,” “The Gorilla,” “Icebound, “Blimpy,” “The Green Goddess,” “Kick In,” “Never Again” “The Hottentot,” “Rolling Stones,” “The Thief,” “The Old Soak,” and “Th$ Rainbow.” It is felt by the leaders of the movement that Ogden is gradually rec- ognizing the value of this theatre, a theatre which stands for the highest possible ideals, a theatre which provides an avenue of expression for the people of its community, and which is representative of an art vital and indispensable to complete living. The ACORN 197.7 FORENSIC The ACORN 19 17 EVELYN NEll.SON OTHELLO WHEATLEY ELLA ROBINSON ERNEST WARD FRANK MOURITSON ELLSWORTH WEAVER LESTER YOUNG JOHN GRIFFIN The ACORN 19 17 Debating DEBATING, in all its aspects, has become one of the outstanding activities of Weber College. Both for the oportunity it offers of developing an individual’s powers of clear expression and of intelligent and con- sistent thinking, it is becoming more and more alluring to the college students. From a large number of en- thusiastic debating-society members, the school repre- sentatives for this season, consisting of John Griffin, Ernest Ward, I.ester Young, Ellsworth Weaver, Othello Wheatly, Frank Mouritson, Ella Robinson and Evelyn Nielsen, were selected. These students have done com- mendable work—work of which Weber College is proud. Weber won the division championship in the Utah- Idaho Junior College Debating League of 1927. The proposition debated in this league was: “Resolved that the United States Should Cancel all I-oans made to European Nations Between the Dates of April 6, 1927, and December 1, 1920.” On February 24, 1927, our nega- tive team, represented by John Griffin and Ernest Ward, won a victory over the Ricks College affirmative team at Rexburg, the score being 85 points to 71% points. Our affirmative team, Frank Mouritsen and Othello Wheatly, lost to Ricks, however, on the same day by a score of 92 to 90 points. The 11 v. point majority, as a result of these debates, insured Weber the Northern Division cham- pionship. The outcome of its participation in the final debates of the league, held at Salt Lake City, on February 26, was a defeat for Weber College, Dixie College winning over our affirmative team and Westminster College over our neg- ative. To Dixie College, whose affirmative team was victorious over the Westminster College negative deba- tors. went the Utah-Idaho Junior College Debating Cham- pionship for 1927. Weber’s lady debators. Miss Robinson and Miss Niel- sen, brought a commendable victory to the college, by win- ning gloriously a closely-contested debate with the ladies' team of the Colorado State Teachers’ College (represented by Miss Staton and Miss Smilt). The Weber College team upheld, on March 16 at Ogden, the affirmative side of the proposition: “Resolved that the Constitution of the United States Should be so Amended as to Give Congress the Power to Regulate Marriage and Divorce.” Weber’s team did exceptional work in the rebuttals, a fact which probably determined its triumph. The last debating activity of the season came on April 6, when Lester Young and Ellsworth Weaver, taking the negative side, defeated the Freshmen team of the Uni- versity of Utah in an interesting, augmentative combat held before the student body of Weber. In the evening of the same day, the U. of U. negative team was victorious over the Weber College affirmative team, consisting of Ernest Ward and Frank Mourit- «on. The question debated was: “Resolved that Foreign Powers are Justified in Con- centrating Military Forces in China.” I The ACORN 19 17 Barker Contest THE incisive event in oratory this year was the Barker Extemporaneous Speaking: Contest established by James L. Barker, a former principal of Weber Academy. This Contest has enabled students to materially increase their powers of clear thinking and intelligent expression, an inevitable aid to the development of individuality and the unfolding of character. The addresses this year well demonstrated this fact. In the initial contests the fol- lowing students were winners: Evelyn Burton, Grant El- lis, Arthur Marble, Evelyn Ncilsen, Frank Mouritson, Rulon Pendleton, and Anna Cannon. In the final com- petition Grant Ellis, with his subject “Art of the Fine Arts,” won first place; Arthur Marble won second place, Rulon Pcndletone third place, and Evelyn Bur- ton fourth place. In class competition the Sophomores, with 41 points, were victorious over the Freshmen who had a total of 31 points. Grant Contest THE Heber J. Grant oratorical contest was held November 22, 1920, before the col- lege student body. President Heber J. Grant of the L. D. S. church instituted this contest at all Church schools, which offers a beautifully-bound, autographed book to the winner. The value of this, as of other speaking contests, is evident. It enables students to develop their powers of expression, aids them in the attainment of self-confidence, and, in adition, serves to stimulate and emphasize Christian ideals. Twenty-three students of Weber gave ten-minute orations on the subject, “How one may secure a testimony of the Divinity of the Latter-day Work.” From this group three students were selected as the final entrants. These were: Leonard Jud- kins, who was awarded first place; Evelyn Nielson, and Therma Scoville. The ora- tions, in brief, endeavored to express the thought that the church is a divine and in- despensable institution, sincere in all its aspects. '05 Contest AS A GIFT, the class of ’05 left a cup to Weber and planned in its connection an extemporaneous speaking contest, the winner of which was to have his name and class engraved upon the cup. The participants in this competition must be able to think clearly and consecutively and deliver their messages with ease and ability. This year the Sophomore class was represented in the finals by Evelyn Nielsen and Ernest Ward, and the Freshmen by Wilma Rubenstein and Arthur Marble. Miss Rubenstein was awarded first place for her speech on “Science and Judaism.” Evelyn Nielsen was awarded second place, and Arthur Marble was chosen as third place winner. The Lewis Contest ege men, Frank Mouritson, Frank Dyke, Lester Young, Leonard Jud- WITH an excellence unsurpassed, seven collet Douglas, Ellsworth Weaver, Lawrence Van kins, and Joseph Steed, delivered short addresses in the annual Lewis Extemporaneo Speaking contest, which provides that the annual winner be awarded the Lewis medal. The speeches were short, simple, sincere, each with a definite message, each forcibly and interestingly delivered. The final decision was given_Frank Douglas who spokc on 1 Hie ‘Sincereity. be True.” His talk was based upon the quotation “To Thy Country, God, and Self The ACORN 1917 SOCIAL The ACORN 19 17 GAY, coquettish evening, fashioned of straight! In a flash of laughter and color, the Acorn Cabaret danced in and out of existence leaving behind only its glass slipper of imperishable memories. The Weber ball room was transformed into a cabaret of be- wildering color and light. Dazzling reds and greens with misty stars twinkled overhead, and great illuminated baskets of crim- son poinsettias glowed in individual brilliancy. Tiny foursome tables were grouped about the room leaving only a circle in the center for features and dancing. At the east end of the hall, in a flood of white, was the Weber Queen’s table. This was artis- tically defined by two slender, white tapers and purple, and white flowers. All other tables were beautifully adorned with poin- settias and tall red candles. At the initial stage of the festival, the queen, Miss Ethel Holmgren, entered the room with her attendants and was saluted and toasted. Then, in a swirl of vivaciousness, Miss Vida Wright interpreted the spirit of the cabaret and enticed the queen to join in the revelry. Ballet dances, furnished by courtesy of both the Reed and the Christensen schools of dancing, served to enhance, even more, the refined and beautiful tone of this ball. The refreshments were listed on unique, hand-designed and painted menus and were served by a group of daintily-clad girls. Guided by Miss Marion Read, the Acorn Staff completely deluded the merry-makers until the stroke of twelve, when as do all such dream-like images, the Acorn Cabaret merged into memory. The College Prom KESPLENDENCE and individuality in every detail marked the annual college promenade, one of the foremost parties of the year. The beau- tiful Berthana ball room, as a setting, was reminiscent of gracious simplicity. Tall ferns and palms, placed about the hall and in the Blue room, created a most delightful background for the dancers. The feature of the evening was the grand march led by Elmer Neilson and his partner. The procession weaved itself into a gigantic “W, at which time, two tiny girls distributed dance programs, distinctive in their simplicity. From then until the strains of “Auf Weidersein” had faded into memory, the dancers were in a new and fascinating sphere, and as the waltz echoed through the hall, they more fully realized the true sig- nificance of the Purple and White. This College extends compliments to the Freshmen class which spon- sored the party, to the committee—Gay Taylor Winkler, Mable Reynolds, Kathleen O'Connor, Wallace Jones, and William Stratford—and to Miss Lucille Owen who directed the promenade. The ACORN 19 17 The Faculty Reception PRESIDENT Tracy, in coordination with members of the college Faculty, formally welcomed the students of Weber and made acquaintence with its patrons at the fourth annual Faculty reception held September 25, 1926. In all respects this incipient social event of the 1926- 27 season artistically and beautifully demonstrated the classic, individual, and purposeful standards maintained by this Junior College, and served as an admirable criterion for social events to follow. President's Reception INSTITUTING an annual banquet and ball exceeding all others in beauty, simplicity, and artistry, the President’s reception to the graduates will be held May 27 at the Bige- low Hotel. That the students may leave their Alma Mater with one noble last impression wherein Weber’s dreams are visibly portrayed resultant in the material from courage, re- sourcefulness, and initiative, is the sincere desire of those under whose direction this farewell ball is given. The ACORN 19 17 The Sophomore Parties CLOTHED in a cloak of profound respectability the Sophomores waited sedately through the first three months of school for a party. Then the Freshmen, with their deflated purses, made a wager with the Sopho- mores, the losers to entertain the winners. The Sophomores proved good losers, and a most delightful party issued in honor of the winning class. Not satisfied, the Sophomore officers then designed a Sophomore revelry, and a few days later the plans materialized in the form of a Bunco party. Apparently this mild indulgence served only as an incitement, and during the course of several days a dancing party was arranged. This, a yuletide social, was held at the home of Mrs. David Kccles. In March the Sophomores presented the Freshmen with a second enter- tainment as the result of another contest wager. Dancing was the main feature, although Mrs. Tanner’s delicious sandwiches were by no means neglected. The Freshmen Parties THE wily Freshmen proved too much for the Sophomores in contests and. as a result, not only won a considerable sum for their treasury, but the privilege of being entertained at two delightful parties. However, the Freshmen were not content with being mere guests, so they planned a very exclusive party of their own preceeding the Christmas holidays. Having won ten dollars in the Armistice day contest, they plan- ned the affair elaborately. A real Santa, a huge Christmas tree, and re- freshments galore were the basic factors of the party, which was held in the new amusement hall of the third ward. Class members became more intimately acquainted during this social, and under the direction of Mr. Van Buren enjoyed an evening of most unusual and interesting entertain- ment. One of the outstanding features was a game called “Over the Rolling Waves,” in which each would-be sailor obtained a vivid conception of the watery deep. The Freshmen class also sponsored two “after-game” dancing parties, each of which was a compliment to class initiative. The ACORN 19 17 Mount Ogden Hike THE peak, symbolic of courage and achievement, rose de- fiant before the determined eyes of the Weber College 1926-27 hikers assembled far below. The peak was the ulti- mate goal, and, to prowess and integrity of those college stu- dents who lightheartedly, yet earnestly began the tradi- tional climb, it was a challenge. But at last the summit!—a tribute, indeed, to the self- reliance and optimistic perseverence of its fifty-odd con- querors. Before the much wearied, but all-recompensed students, a panoramic view lay in overpowering majesty, an inspiration to toil. And with both the raising of Old Glory and the Purple and White, the echoed refrain of the school hymn, the eloquent address given by the student body presi- dent, Elmer Nielson, and the reading of the message sent by President Aaron W. Tracy, noble and unselfish desires were born to conquer adversity, to attain life’s summit through perseverence and self-reliance, even as the corpo- real summit of Mt. Ogden had ben attained. Such was the fourth annual pilgrimage to old Mt. Observatory.

Price and Bailey were the stars of the game, both making several sensational plays against their plucky opponents, who fought stubbornly until the end in spite of the strain of a long dusty journey. a Weber vs. Albion Only the self-reliant and determined attitude of the We- ber gridders held the score to a 6 to 6 tie in the game with Albion on October 22. In spite of the enforced absence of Mouritson and Newman, and of a strong wind which made punting almost impossible, the purple and white team showed the characteristic Weber spirit and consistently blocked the plays of its heavier opponents. The strength of the for- ward wall, the commendable generalship of “Bob” Weir, and perseverance kept Albion from emerging from the contest victorious. The ACORN 19 17 Weber vs. Idaho Tech. The third game of the season was played with the fast and experienced Idaho Tech on the home field. Within three minutes of the first play Mouritsen had made a touchdown, and from then on the “Wildcats” kept their antagonists from scoring while goal after goal was tallied for Weber. The game ended in a 33 to 0 score. Weber vs. Albion On November 11, Weber and Albion Normal again met, this time in Ogden. During this game Weber showed a smooth-working, persistent football team which triumphed over its oponents 38 to 6. Credit is due Clarke, Budge, and Price for the way in which they consistently smothered the Albion team. [84] - The ACORN 19 17 Weber vs. Snow Snow College at Ephraim, Utah, was the next antagonist of the Weber players. Having arrived only fifteen minutes before playing time, weary from the long ride and corres- pondingly pessimistic, the “Wildcats” took the field. How- ever, with the knowledge that a loyal, confident student body was backing them in spirit, the Weber team again assumed that characteristic attitude, and finally struggled through to a 20 to 12 victory. Budge furnished the climax to the game by carrying the ball 40 yards through a broken field to a touchdown. [85] The last game, the climax to Weber’s hopes for the season, was played at Lorin Farr Park against the purple eleven from Ricks. After the first quarter this contest was merely a matter of time, for Weber’s eleven took the game completely away from the Northerners. This victory, 45 to 0, brought to the college the fourth consecutive football title of the Junior College League, a title symbolizing four years of toil, of unquestionable persever- ence and self-reliance, all characteristic of the Weber spirit.

The results of the initial frame held in the Weber gymnasium against Albion Normal gave Weber the early impetus of a victory and demonstrated the well-balanced efficiency of the team. Price and Irvine carried the brunt of the attack in this game scoring at will over the Idaho five. The final score was 44 to 13. Weber vs. I.. I). S. The second contest of the 1026-28 season was also played in the Weber gymnasium, the contestants being L. D. S. of Salt Lake, and Weber College of Ogden. The Saints completely engulfed the Weberites in the first quarter which ended with a large score for the former. But the ‘‘Wildcats” fought on with dogged determination; and by the end of the third quarter the teams were deadlocked. Clarke was carried out at this stage of the game because of an accident, and but for the commendable sportsmanship of “Wid” Ashton, L. I). S. athletic director, our team might have weakened. The result. 32 to 28 for Weber, indicated the intense degree of the com- petition. Price and Budge were the shining lights for Ogden, while Magleby starred for Salt Lake. Weber vs. Kicks The game with Ricks College demonstrated the individual scoring abil- ity of two of our players. Price, who made a total of 15 points, and Bobby Weir, who scored 8 points. These two aces “just dropped ’em in at will.” Credit is also due the unusual team work of the Weber five. Of the Rex- burg group, Ricks and R. Berret were the outstanding players, although their efforts failed to overcome their opponents’ substantial lead. The final score was 31 to 18 for Weber. Weber vs. Ricks With the season half over Weber took to the road, meeting Ricks again this time at Rcxburg. The game was the major attraction of “Home- Coming Week,”held annually in that community and, with the enthusiasm of their townspeople backing them, the Ricks players loomed as strong con- tenders for the victory. Undaunted, the Weberites weathered the deter- mined assault of Ricks and after a second “Saintstyle game waltzed from the floor, victors by a single point, as indicated by the 23 to 22 point ma- jority. Weber vs. Albion The team then journeyed to Albion and met the Albion State Normal for the second time of the season. This game brought to Weber its first defeat, although a victory was won from the standpoint of sportsmanship and effort. Powell and Williams starred for Albion, which scored 28 points, and Price was outstanding for Weber, which established a total of 20 points. Weber vs. L. D. S. The final game of the season was played at Salt Lake against L. D. S. before a small crowd. Although the contest was comparatively slow the 23-17 score, which was in favor of Weber, indicated the balanced abilities of the two teams. This game brought to Weber her first league championship in basket- ball, won only through the self-reliant efforts of her players and through the enthusiastic support accorded by her student body. Weber vs. Idaho Tech A non-league game with Idaho Tech was played February 19 in the Weber gymnasium. The first half ended 21 to 9 with Weber in the lead. During the second period Tech came back determined to redeem herself, and but for the steady and accurate playing of Weber might have succeeded. Richie of Tech, and Irvine of Weber, were the outstanding stars. Their combined personal score totaled 27 points. The final score was 31 to 25 for Weber. The ACORN 19 17 THE greatest of all athletic events during this school year was the Junior College Basketball Tournament. It was held in the Weber gymnasium commencing March 3 and terminating March 6. Six teams were entered, three from the northern division and three from the southern division. The south was represented by Snow College, Branch Agricultural College and Dixie College. The north was repre- sented by Weber, Albion and L. D. S. The first night Weber and Dixie, Albion and B. A. C., and Snow and L. D. S. played. Weber, Snow and Albion emerged winners. The second round of the tournament these pairings were made: Weber and B. A. C., Albion and Snow, and Dixie and L. D. S. The winning teams were Weber, Snow and Dixie. The final night found Weber and Snow undefeated. At this time Albion was pitted against the Dixie Flyers,” B. A. C. against the Saints, and We- ber against Snow. Albion and B. A. C. were victors, and in the culminating contest Snow defeated the fast Weber team 28 to 14, thereby winning the tournament championship. The committee which handled the tournament consisted of Wayne B. Hales, chairman, and A. Leor. Winsor, M. I,. Stevenson, Dilworth Walker, George T. Blanch, and Lester Young, committeemen. The all-star team chosen from among the outstanding players was as follows: Irvine (Weber) and Frie (Dixie), forwards; Jensen (Snow), cen- ter; and Tuttle and R. Magleby (Snow), guards. R. Magleby was adjudged the best all-round player and was presented with a watch and a gold medal. Junior College Basketball League (Northern Division) Weber Albion L. D. S. Ricks .. w. L.

No Junior College meets were scheduled, but there was one event in which Junior Colleges could compete. This was the Provo Invitational Meet sponsored by the B. Y. U., and thence the Weber College athletes journeyed. Rulon Budge, star speedster of the school, captured two first places in the sprints. He won the 100-yard dash from a fast field and then showed his heels to the rest of the contestants in the 220-yard dash. “Pug” Mouritson, run- ning against seasoned vets, finished third in the half-mile, and Lee Newman placed second in the shot put. The mem- bers of the squad who made the jaunt to Provo with Athletic Director Stevenson were Rulon Budge, James Platt, Elmer Randall, Ray Price, Frank Mouritson, and Lee Newman.

The ACORN 19 17 In Acknowledgment IT WOULD not be fitting that this volume should appear without acknowledging the assistance of those who have contributed to what- ever degree of perfection this work may represent. We appreciate the help and suggestions offered by President Tracy, Miss Marion Read, Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Monson of the English faculty. Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Therma Scoville, Miss Ardell Cardon, Mr. Arthur Marble and Mr. Charles Emmett, of the Acorn Staff, who, during the spring quarter, carried the entire burden of the publication of this annual. The untiring efforts and co- operation of the staff as a whole have had no small part in the pro- duction of this book. We are indebted to Miss Maurine Porter, Miss Bernice Littlefield and Mr. Melvin Mathias for their assistance in assembling and mount- ing the photographs; to Miss Marion Wallace, Miss Genieve Moyes, Miss Anna Stark, Miss Thelma Jones and Mr. Casper Woods for their excellent work for the Acorn Ball, and to the I. P. T. Club for its generous effort in behalf of Acorn subscription campaigns. Much credit is due also to Miss Evelyn Palmer, staff artist, for the excellent free-hand sketches, to Mr. Rabe of the Rabe studio, and to Mr. Hoenes of Link-Tiffany studio for the fine photographic work exhibited in this book. We appreciate also the cooperation of our advertisers, and of the Commercial Art and Engraving company, of San Francisco, and the Inland Printing company, of Kaysville, Utah. We have endeavored to portray, in perhaps somewhat different style, the activities of a Weber year, and though we are aware that as in all human effort errors may have crept into this work, we hope that they will be pardoned by those who may notice them and that this volume may meet with your approval.

The ACORN 19 17 “ ALL works of taste must bear a price in proportion to the skill, taste, time, expense, and risk attending their invention and manufacture. Those things called dear are, when justly estimated, the cheapest; they are attended with much less profit to the artist than those which everybody calls cheap. Beautiful forms and composition are not made by chance, nor can they ever, in any ma- terial, be made at small expense. A com- position for cheapness, and not for ex- cellence of workmanship, is the most fre- quent and certain cause for the rapid decay and entire destruction of arts and manufacturers.”—John Ruskin. This sound logic should govern the production and purchase of all printing. Inland Printing Company Kaysville, Utah +
