SCHOOL NOTES Harold Brown wins the Gold Medal That the students of the Weber Academy understood and appreciated the motive of Peter Kasius and Irvin Nelson in giving a handsome gold medal to the champion speaker, was shown by the enthusiastic way in which they responded when it was offered. The two representatives from each class succeeded in making the contest interesting. On the eventful day, Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen turned out to stand by their classmates in defeat or victory. Harold Brown, amid the cheers and applause of the audience, brought the honors to the Senior class. Both the composition and delivery of his speech were exceptionally good and worthy of his reward. The judges chosen for the occasion were Valentine Gideon, Alva Scoville and Thomas E. McKay. Although but one medal was awarded, each contestant felt repaid for his efforts. Another Standard Bearer The student body evidently believes in the "survival of the fittest," for on the departure of Hubert Hall, our standard bearer, last year's office holder, was resurrected. We appreciate the value of a good understanding and tall stature in defense of our flog, and at the last student body meeting elected Mr. Lorenzo Richards by acclamation. David O. McKay of the Board of Education, in an address to the students highly commended the Domestic Science and Arts girls for their efforts to improve and remodel their apartments. As we catch glimpses of new carpets, paneled walls and polished tables, we join with our president and agree that they are worthy of his praise. ACORN 13 Every student of the Weber Academy feels that this institution has a steadfast friend and supporter in Levi Edgar Young of the University of Utah. He delivered an address that made us understand that he had a real interest in our school and would like to see us improve. He assured us that if we would follow conscientiously the few words of advice given to him by his beloved grandmother, "Just keep on growing," we would make our lives worth living. Knowing the man as we do, we can see that he has followed the advice to the letter. The Athletic Dance Did everyone notice how the Weber girls hung on to their partners the night of the Athletic Boys' Dance? Perhaps they saw the ardent glances of our local boys following the "Peaches from Brig-ham." The dance hall was crowded that night and between "Peaches" from Brigham and the pretty girls from Weber, the boys from both schools were kept hopping. Having won the game, Weber's students were feeling tip-top and being "game sports," the Brighamites went in for all it was worth so everybody had a good time just as the boys had intended they should. Departure of the Insurrecto No longer can Weber boast of an insurrecto. Hubert Hall, our standard-bearer from Mexico, left us to seek fame elsewhere. Some day he may get the chance to carry an L. D. S. banner. We wonder if he would carry the Gold and Blue as proudly as though it were Purple and White? Senior Notes The Seniors feel very proud of Harold Brown and Boyd Lindsay, who represented the class in the oratorical contest. Both did well, but Mr. Brown succeeded in winning the Nelson-Kasius medal. The class members are working hard to win out in the debates, in order that they might again place their numerals on the silver lov-
