Robert R. Burton Elma Taylor Wallace White Editor Associate Editor Business Manager The Weber Literary Journal THE WEBER LITERARY JOURNAL of this year was the first attempt of Weber College, as a college, to publish a book devoted entirely to the literary efforts of the students. In former years the book was published by the now extinct high school organization. In the transition period of the school's growth the publication of the book was discontinued. The book this year, edited by Miss Elma Taylor and Mr. Robert Burton, under the direction of Professor Kenneth G. Farley of the English Department, was undoubtedly of higher artistic merit than any preceding issue, and, though somewhat small, it will serve as a guide to the greater literary accomplishments that will follow the growth of the college in future years. Wallace White was Business Manager. Extemporaneous Contest THE FRESHMEN WERE EASY WINNERS in the Barker Extemporaneous Con- test, this year. A wide variety of topics of national and local interest, selected by Professor Kenneth G. Farley of the English Department, provided the subject matter for the series. The final contest was won by Miss Ruth Tanner, speaking on "A Spiritual Reawakening in Ogden." PROF. FARLEY, Coach Grant Oratorical Contest THE GRANT ORATORICAL CONTEST, the one big oratorical event of the year, was again participated in by every student of the school. A group of the best ten-minute talks were selected for the semi-finals and from these five were chosen to be learned for the final contest. The subject for this year, "What are the Real Evidences of a Religious Life?" was of a nature requiring an unusual amount of original thought and admitting of a great variety of interpretations. The five contestants qualifying for the finals were: Miss Althea Thomas, Mr. Robert Burton, Mr. Rulon Beus, Mr. C. Erwin Nelson and Mr. Vernald W. Johns. Mr. Roland Beus, was chosen by the judges as the winner, and for his efforts received an autographed book from President Heber J. Grant. The judges for the contest were: Attorney Belnap, Reverend C. C. Wilson, and Reverend J. E. Carver. RULON BEUS The Debating Club THE DEBATING CLUB, organized this year under the direction of Mr. Rulon Beus, debating manager, with Mr. Karl Borklund as President, was an important factor in the development of the Weber debaters. Speakers were secured to address the members upon the principles of debating and upon the subject chosen for the League debates. It afforded all its members valuable preliminary practice in the art of argumentative expression even though many were not successful in their at- tempt to secure places on the school team. With the continued growth of the College the club should become a much more prominent division of the student body. Karl Borklund
