Show ALUMNI It was announced by this department in the last issue, that Alumni Day would be held on November 20th, but shortly after the Acorn had gone to press, the time was changed to December 11th. All that was written before about this, applied on the latter date. During the morning period, an interesting program, consisting of piano selections, singing, readings, and speeches by members of the association was given. The captain of the Weber basketball team expressed the opinion that his team derived one advantage from the postponement. His team, he said, was not in condition on the first date, but with the practice of the added days, the boys assumed better shape. Clarke more nearly perfected the condition of his quintette, during the same time. This was self evident during the entire game. From the time of the first jump, until the whistle blew at the end of the "halves," Clark's stars played, "ball." Malcolm's infants also played a pleasing game, showing good form throughout. After the game, the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The party was an informal one; and the faculty, members of the Alumni Association, and students, mingled as if all belonged to one organization. Through this, the Christmas issue of the Acorn, the officers and members of the Alumni Association wish to extend to the Faculty and members of the Student Body of dear old Weber the greetings of the holiday season. May your vacation be a most pleasant one full of joy and the spirit of the Great Master Teacher. May your work, during the prosperous new year, be most successful.
