Show 10 THE ACORN Do we need a gymnasium? Is it necessary for the Chem students to generate those dark-brown odors? Do you think general assembly profitable? Why not have some wrestling matches? etc. The Acorn is the place to express our needs and desires to the Faculty Board and others. It is also the official organ in which to express our ideas. Here is an expression of real, true school patriotism taken from a letter of President Thomas E. McKay's to Principal Mc-Kendrick: "Everything in the Christmas number of The Acorn zuas tine; but that which pleased me most was an editorial which runs thuss 'Tell eevrybody that we need a gymnasium and boost! boost! boost!!' That is the true spirit, and the young people of Weber County, led by the W. A. students, can build it. I don't know whether I can lay dim to a Jersey cow on the farm, but if there should be one, let it be sold and the proceeds applied to the gymnasium fund." Let us all catch this spirit and boost together. The W. A. gym. must be a reality for next year. It is with a feeling of genuine satisfaction that we commend and sincerely thank the student body for its interest in the THANKS Acorn. This year we were late getting started in most everything, but now that we are alive we might just as well keep things going until school lets out. The more interest taken in our paper the more ads. our managers can get. More ads. mean more money and more money means bigger and better paper. Does time drag? Busy people are the most happy. As nearly as we can learn, last year's souvenir eclipsed every other edition ever published by any school paper or university in the country as far as style is concerned. All the art work and printing of cuts was done in the east and the edition was handsomely bound in leather. This year we cannot hope to improve very much on the appearance, but in point of material well, it just simply must be the best ever. Of course, we will have pictures of the faculty, graduates, organizations, etc., a usual, but what else? We want suggestions. THE ACORN 11 The editors appreciate the efforts of the Sophomore Class in working for the Acorn. Many of our best locals and suggestions in this issue have come from them. Most of us need more exercise. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Look at the paths over our campus lawns. Once and for all: This is not the Weber Stake Academy. The stake was officially dropped last year and we are now attending the Weber Academy. The common expression: "I go to the Weber Stake" is ambiguous anyway. Let's speak of our school as the Academy. This issue is not as large as the Christmas one because the funds are limited. Our business manager says that if we are going to publish as elaborate a souvenir number as we have planned on, that our regular numbers must cost less. Hence the shrinkage. A synonym is a word used when you forget how to spell another. Freshman to Sophomore who thinks the "Passing of Arthur" is very pathetic "Cheer up maybe he'll 'flunk.'" "Count that day lost whose low descending sun finds at thy hands no fellow mortal done." Ex. Bluff a little As you go your way; Bluffing may not always help you, But many times it may. Bluff a little, bluff a little, Men may rail at you, But you'll see by watching closely That they're bluffing, too. Ex. |
