Show 14 ACORN The Civic Improvement League of Ogden is still awake. They have asked for the co-operation of the students in their work of keeping the city clean, and we have already assured them of our hearty support. We welcomed Mrs. Culley, Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Clark as representatives of the League, Monday morning, October 28th. From the Faculty "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,' but 'All play and no work makes Jack a worthless boy,' and of the two Jack had better be dull. W. W. HENDERSON. Mrs. Kunz gave an interesting account of the good times that members of the Faculty had during vacation. That evidently accounts for their willingness to make us settle down to business. "In twenty years from now don't say, 'If I could have had the chance that you have now, I, too, might have obtained an education.' That's too old. Take the chance you HAVE and make the most of it." C. J. JENSEN. Prof. Cowles' prescription for success: "Get at it. Stick to it. Finish it." Is life a drudge? Merely to exist, awaiting death to come And relieve us of the monotony of living? If so, 'twere best we die, For who will miss us when we're gone? Unto ourselves we owe it to be brave, To face the world with all its bitter woes; And from the tumult catch a ray of hope To fill our lives with usefulness and joy. '14. ACORN 15 Class Notes Senior The Senior class has started this year's school work in earnest and with a desire to be loyal and uphold the name of Weber. There are nearly sixty students enrolled in the class and all are working hard in order to graduate. The class pin, a block "W," has been chosen, and it is hoped that in the future this pin will bring many remembrances of happy days spent at Weber. The class feels indeed honored in having for their advisor, Leroy E. Cowles, who, with his sunny disposition, gives pleasure to all those with whom he associates. The Student body, having once had the privilege of hearing the Senior Male Quartet, are waiting anxiously for the opportunity of hearing it again. Many new classmates have joined us upon this, our last stretch of high school work. We are pleased to welcome them and hope that their associations here may be nothing but the most pleasant. It was with sorrow that most of us learned that some of the old class members had left us to seek higher learning at the University of Utah. Frank Fowles, our president of 1911-'12, is at the U. studying law. Frank Watkins, our president-elect, is attending the same institution, pursuing a course in medicine. George Croft is following his old hobby, electrical engineering. Sucess to them! Junior What a jolly bunch the name doth represent! Those who find enjoyment in their labor, Those whose cares are lightened by bright hopes, Those who doubt the Senior's mighty knowledge, And laugh with glee to see their solemn airs. They realize that life is filled with troubles, But do not let them sink their ship of joy. What the Juniors aren't going to do this year is not worth mentioning. We know that is what they all say, but just wait and see. But, say! Here we are praising you Juniors up to the sky, and it's up to you to make good. Why don't you wake up? |
