14 WEBER ACADEMY Rest RoomThe rest room is supplied with conveniences for students who are seized with sudden illness or who meet with accidents during school hours. Here proper care will be taken of all who need administration or medical aid. STUDENT BODY ACTIVITIES. The Acorn.The official organ of the Academy is published entirely by the students, and is another means toward the development of our aims, to make strong, self-governing men and women. It has a circulation of about four hundred and fifty. Debating.The work in debating is under the personal supervision of a committee appointed from members of the faculty. The purpose is to give the students practice in public speaking, to familiarize them with simple parliamentary usage and to encourage proper forms of drawing up a brief. Every class selects a team each year to compete in the inter-class debates. A silver trophy cup was given to the Academy by the class of 1905 to encourage debating and public speaking. The cup is awarded each year to the class having the best team, with the privilege of in-scribing its numerals under the "winners," and holding it as a trophy until it is won by another team. The class of 1913 now holds the cup. Besides the inter-class debates a school team is selected from the student body to compete in the State High School Debating League. Every student has opportunity to enter the contest for a place on the school team. WEBER ACADEMY 15 Physical Education.Since physical activities are necessary to the perfect health of the student, much attention is being given to the development of the body. Such healthful sports as basketball, indoor baseball and wrestling are introduced during the winter months, while track and field athletics and baseball take their place in the spring. To stimulate interest and encourage school spirit, the Academy has joined the basket ball league formed among the high schools of the state Dramatics.In the spring of each year a play is presented by students of the Academy, who win positions in the cast through a try out system. This activity is supplementary to the work in the English department. Interesting trips are taken to adjoining towns. Lecture Course. The lecture course of the Academy is now far beyond the experimental stage, having passed through its eighth successful year. From a very modest beginning it has grown to be the foremost lecture course of the west. The very best talent has been secured every sea-son.
