Show Lathe Room Carpentry Room School Visitors Aside from the excellent course of study, the student of Weber Academy receives many other advantages that are not accorded to every high school student. From time to time during the entire school year we have had men and women of state-wide reputation to address us. Among those who have been here recently are Mr. Morton of Salt Lake City, Prof. Hinkley of Provo, and Mrs. Law, who is a well-known reformer and rescue worker. Cupid has been very busy this year at Weber. Two of our prominent Seniors, Ora Ensign and Harold Brown have been struck so hard by love's dart, that they surprised their friends by quietly getting married. May success and happiness always be theirs. A Well Spent Day When Professor Henderson announced that we would be expected to attend school on Arbor day, our holiday hopes and plans faded from view. However, our hearts were made light when the following words were spoken by the principal, "Immediately after the program, each class will plant a tree, after which you are free for the remainder of the day." Most of the students spent the afternoon on the foothills. Gymnasium Just one last parting word about the gymnasium. They say it is to be a reality and next year the public will be reaping the benefits. At present there is much competition between O. II. S. and Weber for a gymnasium, but we feel assured of ours at last. How it will fill the students' hearts with pride next year to see a splendidly equipped gymnasium which will be one more boost towards a better Ogden. O. H. S. vs. W. A. On March 31 the Oratorical and declamation contest between Weber and the Ogden High Shool was held to determine who was to represent Ogden at Salt Lake City. Weber representatives had been carefully selected and we hoped to win some of the honors of the day. We were unsuccessful, however, and returned home rather disheartened, but with the determination to turn the tables next time. Those who participated for Weber were Miss Odessa Henniger and Mary Jacobs for declamation; Boyd Lindsay and Lorenzo Richards for oratory. Their efforts were appreciated, though they did not win the decision of the judges. |
