Acorn Room Choir Declamation and Oratory Weber is working hard to make her students proficient in declamation and oratory. She has realized the need of good public speakers and has devoted much time to this work. A thrill of enthusiasm went over the student body when Principal Henderson announced that we would meet our worthy opponents, Ogden High School, in a public speaking contest, April 14. The prizes were thirty-five and fifteen dollars respectively to be awarded by Dr. Edward 1. Rich. Harvey Taylor and Jennie Barlow were our representatives, and although the decisions were not in their favor, we are proud of them. On April 24th, another similar contest with Ogden and Box Elder High Schools was held in Weber Academy auditorium to determine who were to represent the northern division in the state con- test at Salt Lake City, on May 7th. Ora Engstrom for declamation and Jennie Barlow for oratory represented Weber. Miss Barlow was successful, but we were forced to share the honors with Ogden HighSchool-Elean Couch of that school won in declamation. Out of the seven orators that delivered orations in the state con- test in Salt Lake, on May 7th, our orator, Miss Jennie Barlow won second place. The first was taken by a student of our former teacher. LeRoy E. Cowles, principal of the Carbon County High School. The winners of this contest are to receive gold and silver medals for first and second places respectively. JENNIE. BARLOW
