LESLIE CHRISTENSEN ALTHEA THOMAS LEONARD JUDKINS Associate Editor Editor Business Manager all publications The Literary Journal THE literary Journal was established in 1920. Its value, both for the work it contains and for the standards in writing it has set, can not be questioned. It is above all, a medium of expression for literary students of Weber. It further serves as a permanent place in which to preserve all fine bits of literature written during the school year literature that is really worthy of publication. It is valuable, also, in that it is an incentive, to all English students of composition, to strive for the attainment of a higher degree of proficiency in writing. The work of Ivan Jones, Therma Scoville, Thelma Jones, L. W. Overstreet, Leslie J. Christensen, and J. Vernal Stimpson, in the Spring Journal of 1926, has been highly commended. The Literary Journal is, indeed, a keepsake for students who cherish fine literature written by fellow classmates, and a treasure for all whose work it contains. Flora Eccles Douglas Literary Contest THREE prizes for literary excellence in different forms of written composition, are awarded annually by Mrs. Flora Eccles Douglas: one of twenty dollars to the student producing the best poem; one of fifteen dollars to the author of the best short story; another of fifteen dollars to the student writing the best essay. This contest is the first and only one of its kind to be sponsored and permanently provided for by a citizen of Ogden. Its obvious purpose is to encourage especially talented students in writing. It, thereby, enhances interest in the field of literature. It forms another entrancing branch of school activity which the student of composition may profitably enter. Oratory Contests THE call of life demands that people be able to speak fluently and well. Weber answers this call by bringing to the fore various oratorical activities which give to the student the needed development in Public Speaking. Contests are fostered at intervals during the year to encourage the stu dent along these lines. The Grant Oratorical Contest, the Barker Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, the Lewis Extemporaneous Contest, and the various debates have taken a prominent place in Weber's life. As Weber is growing in other fields, so Weber grows oratorically. Each year the contests are bigger and better. Each year the competition becomes keener. There are great visions for the future.
