The building of this annual has required the concentrated effort and time of many individuals. Although everyone who has helped deserves to be given special credit, only a few can be mentioned here. To Marian T. Read, faculty advisor, whose executive ability has made the Acorn a dream come true”; to an unusually dili- gent staff; to the photographers, Walter G. Hoenes of the Link-Tiffany studio for individual panels, and Jack Checketts for illustrative pictures; to the engravers and designers; to A. G. Wallin, president of the Paragon Printing Company, who with his associates, Kay Russon, artist, and M. L. Bcntine, superintendent, has produced the beauty of type display that exists in this publication; and to our patrons for their financial assistance which has made possible our material realization of this book, we extend our sincere appreciation. Jarvis Thurston, Fawn McKay, Editors.

A seed, blown into fertile ground, germin- ated and sent up a small, green shoot. Con- tinually nourished by the richness of the soil, this shoot grew and eventually developed into a young tree. With its ever-supplying source of energy, with its well-rooted trunk, the sapling increased in stature. Then there came development in the branches, and the tree, spreading its boughs in every direction, became an object of rare beauty. A seed of education, planted in worthy minds, germinated, and there was established the Weber Academy. This academy, foster- ed and nurtured by determined leaders, grew and eventually blossomed into an institution of higher learning. Weber, as a junior col- lege, assumed prominence for her development of a friendly organization, reaching out in every direction, extending the hand of fellow- ship to other institutions. This spirit of friendliness — the friendliness in Weber’s growth—more dominant in Nineteen Thirty- one than ever before, forms the motif for this Acorn.
