Show 13 ACORN Senior Notes At last the Senior class has come into its own! It has taken a long time, but that which is worth while does not come in a night. The one event that was the initiative force toward the revival of spirit was Senior week in devotional. Musical numbers were rendered by the Senior quartet, Pauline Malan, Delia Tracy and Gladys Peterson. Ben Young, Arlie Campbell and Alta Nielsen gave remarkable soul-inspiring addresses. Then came a day when all of the Seniors took places on the stand. The class song was rendered and the orator, Fred Pingree, addressed the assembly. Most of the important characters of the annual school play were members of the Senior class. We are the second class that has ever attended Weber to have class rings, the class of 1907 being the leader in this. Our ring is a beautiful, dull gold, signet ring, having the letters W. A. and our numerals. We proved our power to give united and powerful support in an assembly previous to the game with South Cache High School by doing the best yelling and thereby gaining the privilege of sitting on the front seats at the game. The contest begun in extemporaneous speaking, to be held every two weeks, was entered into with a great deal of spirit and determination and was a sample of those that are to come in that our representatives, Ben Young and Arlie Campbell, won first honors. But of all events, the one most surprisingly successful was a Senior class party. The girls were thoroughly imbued with the spirit of woman's rights and the boys were their willing victims. All of the boys had escorts, the girls having made the appointments as soon as the arrangements for the party were begun and not waiting for that proverbial last minute. It was declared by all to be the most successful party given in our four years at Weber. Sophomore Facts It takes the class of '18 to do things at Weber. When all the rest of the school is sound asleep, there is still one place where life and enthusiasm is found bubbling over in great abundance. That is among the Sophomores. Although we have only been here a short time, we have already made records that will long be remembered by the loyal supporters of the Purple and White, and we will continue to let our voices ring in the hall of fame at our clear old Weber. We have made a fine record in basketball this year. As Freshmen, our men finished last because of the fear of "roughing it" with their ACORN 14 older and larger brothers. But this year they have turned over their cloak of green to their younger friends, and gone in determined to win. Our team is now leading in the class series and well on their way to the school championship. Our debaters also show some improvement over last year. They defeated the Freshmen in their first debate by a unanimous decision. On the morning of the final debate they towered head and shoulders over their smaller opponnts, but failed to come out on top. But this was another moral victory for the Sophomores. On the evening of January 11 we gave a class party. We showed the "hangers-on" at the door who gazed on our frolicking crowd with jealous eyes that we were a "bunch of sports," by inviting them in and allowing them to enjoy the hospitality of the Sophomores. The banquet, served by our girls, to the basketball team and officers of the class, was a great success. We are proud of the fact that one of the best men on the main team is a Sophomore. The Freshman Class of '19 "Last, but not least," we, the Freshmen, are still striving to maintain our standard in Weber. It was to the credit of our class that we furnished a complete program for the devotional week of January 17 to 21. The numbers rendered were well received by the students. Our work has been very satisfactory so far as parties and entertainments are concerned, and as the new students who have just entered Weber have had no opportunity to enjoy any of these entertainments, we will endeavor to give a party in honor of them in the near future. As our class is composed of the prettiest girls in the school, it is no wonder that the Senior boys, especially a certain little red-headed one, are failing in their classes. What Weber Stands For Weber stands for faith and courage, Ever be this motto true. Be it never said of Weber She is loathsome and not true. For Weber, oh, our Weber, Will not falter in the least But, continuing on, progressing, To Eternal victories. LAFAYETTE GIBBY. |
