Debating THE YEAR 1924-25 BROUGHT to light two of the best debating teams ever produced in the history of Weber. The Affirmative consisted of J. Frank Robinson and Rulon Beus; The Negative, Karl Winsor and Willis P. White; with Ella Robinson and Elmer Nielson as alternates. The subject for debate for the Utah-Idaho Junior College League was "Resolved that Congress should be empowered to annul by two thirds vote decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional." The question was a rather difficult one on which to obtain an affirmative decision, practically all decisions rendered being unanimous for the negative. Weber's first debate was with the Intermountain Union College of Helena, Montana. The affirmative was ably defended by J. Frank Robinson and Rulon Beus representing Weber. The debate was admittedly the best ever given from the Weber rostrum. The decision, two to one for the negative, was an agreeable surprise to Professor Allan C. Lemon, the Intermountain Union debate coach. March 13, the Weber affirmative met the Latter Day Saint University negative at Weber and lost by a unanimous decision. Weber was represented by J. Frank Robinson and Rulon Beus. On the same date the Weber negative met Ricks Normal College at Rexburg and won a unanimous decision. Weber was represented by Karl Winsor and Willis P. White. Brigham Young College and Snow College tied for honors for the season 1924-25. J. Q. BLAYLOCK, Debating Coach RULON BEUS FRANK ROBINSON WILLIS WHITS KARL WINSOR Manager Dramatics DRAMATICS HAVE TAKEN a prominent place in Weber activities this year. The return of our annual visitor, Professor Lemuel B. C. Josephs, of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts at New York City, was the greatest single factor in the year's successes. He directed the presentation of the annual Alumni play and portrayed one of the leading roles. The play presented was Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." It was played two nights at the Orpheum theatre before crowded houses and won praise from all. During the winter quarter the Freshman class presented the play "Miss Molly." The characters were ably portrayed by Miss Lavon Trapp, Gilbert Thatcher, Erwin Nelson, Althea Thomas, Nona Wallace, Mildred Stallings, Mabel Packer, and Leonard Steimle. A few weeks later the Sophomores presented "Suppressed Desires," and "Maker of Dreams." The first was cast with "Pete" Couch, Dorothy Ballantyne, and Elma Taylor. In the latter "Rig" Jacobs, Portia Holt and Nat Parry displayed their talent. These plays were directed by Miss Grace Wood dramatic coach. The crowning event of the year was the presentation of the school play, "Rollo's Wild Oat." The play this year was presented on the Weber stage. Mr. Gean Greenwell and Miss Elizabeth Shaw took the leading roles. They were supported by Eva Shreeve, Nona Wal- lace, Rulon Doxey, LeRoy Johnson, Karl Borklund, Garnett Littlefield, Miriam Cain, Hensley Cortez, Dorothy Ballantyne and Elmer Neilson. The characters were exceptionally well chosen and much favorable comment was aroused. The stage settings also were so excellently arranged as to call forth praise from the audience. Credit for directing the play is due Mr. Joe Williams, of the Moroni Olson players, and an alumnus of Weber. His aim was to make the play the most finished production in Weber's Dramatic history. His success was vouched for by the spontaneous praise of the audience after both performances.
