Show Friday, November 17, is a day to be remembered by those connected with Weber Academy. Colonel Tatlock of Salt Lake City, presented the school, with; a beautiful United States flag in behalf of the Dix-Logan post of the G. A. R. A number of the veterans were present and a patriotic address was delivered by Attorney E. T. Hul-aniski. Superintendent Horace Cummings made a speech of acceptance, after which Colonel Saxey related a few incidents showing what it cost to perpetuate the "Union" through the struggle of the Civil War. Patriotic music was furnished by Jean Benzie and Florence. Browning. DEBATING. In spite of the fact that for the last three years the Sophomore class has won the beautiful silver loving cup presented to the school by the class of 1905, every class is making very strenuous efforts to win the trophy this year. "Try-outs" are being conducted preparatory to the selection of class teams.

Middleton, the veteran pioneer and church man, addressed the students and faculty November 15. His theme, "Reverence for Old Age," was illustrated by episodes of pioneer and frontier life connected with the rise of the church. The student body entertained the faculty and the patrons of the institution at a dancing party November 17.
