Show we have learned lessons that have made us stronger and wiser the next time, and the failures are not real failures. They have inspired us with new determination to win and so our list of honors has been lengthened by our few defeats. The success of the class was especially marked during our Junior year. By the hard earnest work of the debating team we won school championship. This gave us the honor of having a "15" placed on the school debating cup. Two members of the team, Cora Kasius and LeRoy Leishman, were members of the Negative Debating Team for the school. Next we were presented with a beautiful purple and white pennant for winning the championship of the school in basketball. Wilmer Jensen brought honors to the class when he won the Cottle-Henderson gold medal, thus bringing the class first place in oratory. Miss Jennie Barlow, another member of the class represented the school in the State Declamation Contest, and was awarded second place. By the hard work of the entire class, we won a prize of twenty dollars for selling the greatest number of tickets for the "Weber Academy Lecture Course." But our last year capped the climax of our four successful years. Again we won school championship in debating and so we are honored with our numerals on the cup twice. This class is the only one, with one exception, to have its numerals on the cup twice. We again won school championship in basketball. We are very proud of our athletes. They have worked hard and long and their efforts have won many games for Weber. The Richards- Purrington Medal for extemporaneous speaking was won by LeRoy Leishman. The dramatic ability of the Seniors was shown by the fact that in the "Brown of Harvard," many of the parts were taken by Seniors. The Senior Class has produced the four-act comedy, "The Touch Down." The play met with general favor and much credit is due to the energetic work of the cast and the coach-Miss Minnie Brown.
