Show WEBER HERALD This year marked the changing of THE ACORN, the bi-monthly literary magazine, to a bi-weekly newspaper. The change was made in order that more experience in literary work as well as in journalism could be obtained by the students interested in this line of work. The new paper has been published nine times during the present year and has contained interesting articles and stories of the activities of the school. Comments and suggestions from the students regarding school affairs have appeared, editorially, throughout the year. The paper has also been a medium for increasing school spirit and creating a greater interest in athletics and the various activities. The columns of the publication have been open to members of the school alumnae association, all students of the institution, and friends and supporters of the school. That advantage has been taken of this is shown by the fact that various official notices have been received from the Governor of the state for publication. The new idea is so well taken by all concerned that the paper will undoubtedly grow rapidly, and next year it may be published weekly. THE FIRST WEBER HERALD STAFF Editor Douglass M.

The team did excellent work and the students and faculty looked forward to the championship again, and another year's possession of the coveted cup. Pleasant Grove was adjudged the winner in the State contest. DRAMATICS Weber has always been noted for her originality and superior quality. This was especially shown in the excellent drama she presented two years ago at the Orpheum Theatre, "Brown of Harvard" and the following year, "Commencement Days." The interest created demanded a similar production, and the following year, 1916-17, one of Wm. Gillette's best masterpieces, Secret Service," was produced. This production far surpassed the preceding plays, both in quality of drama and cast. The play covered a period of four exciting historical hours of the great Civil war. It was its first appearance in the West. William Gillette staged the drama for one year in New York. We wish to thank our coach, Earl Pardoe, for his very efficient directing in producing this play.
