Show High School Day The Seniors certainly enjoyed their visit to the University of Utah, on Friday, May, 14th, the occasion being the third annual High School Day. The purpose of this day is to give all the state high school graduates an opportunity to see the work and equipment of the University. The special attractions of the day were, debating, oratorical, musical and declamation contests, track meet and a general good time. Contests We have had many successful contests this year. They have undoubtedly done a great deal of good in developing the talents of Weber. A series of extemporaneous speaking contests have been carried on this year between the classes. They have proved very interesting and caused much rivalry between the classes, as the winning class was allowed the privilege of placing their banner on the rostrum until some other class won. There were seven altogether, and the Seniors held the honor more than any other class. These contests were very successful and brought out the fine new material. Through the generosity of our Principal, Brother Barker, the Acorn has been able to carry on a story writing contest this year. The gold medals for the best stories written by members of the Student Body were awarded to Rae Lofgreen and Alta Neilson. We wish to thank those who wrote stories. We especially wish to express our appreciation and thanks to Brother Barker, who made this contest possible. Lorenzo Maeser Richards and R. Lee Purrington, of the class of '14, showed their love for their school by presenting a gold medal to the winner of an extemporaneous speaking contest. The contest was held Friday, Feb. 26. Each class had two representatives. The medal was won by LeRoy J. Lieshman, of the Senior Class. Another contest which caused considerable interest among the students was that of the Whittal Carpet & Rug Company. They gave cash prizes for the best essays on Whittal methods of making rugs. This contest was between the students of the Ogden High School and Weber Academy. LeRoy 'Leishman and Miss Vera Bailey won the two first prizes in the Senior-Junior division and Sophomore-Freshmen division, respectively. Sewing Room Cooking Room |
