Show DEBATING The inter-class debates have been held and the Juniors are declared the victors. The first debate of the season was between the Frshman team, composed of James Leishman and Vivian Pickett, and the Sophomores, who were represented by Franklin Richards and Andrew Kasius. The result was a unanimous decision in favor of the Sophomores. The other debate between the Junior team, Ernest Wilkenson and Mattie Stone, and the Senior team, Ben Young and Leland Evans, resulted in favor of the former team. At the conclusion of the final battle between the Juniors and Sophomores the Juniors were de-calred victorious. This gave them the privilege of placing their numerals on the Debating cup. Those who will represent Weber this year in debating are Leland Evans, Franklin Richards, Ernest Wilkinson and Ben Young. The alternates are Mattie Stone and Andrew Kasius. The teams are working hard under the supervision of our debating coaches and we hope to capture the State Championship. Notes from "Back Numbers" What about Alumni Day? It is with regret that the Alumni Association announces that no special day has been selected for Weber's graduates to visit their former school, and renew old association. For the last two years such a day was observed, and Weber's students present and past found the day mutually beneficial and enjoyable. If such a day were held this year many and varied would be the honored guests. The presiding officer would be William J. Critchlow, Jr., '11, one of Ogden's leading young men in business and social affairs. The presence of the other officers of the association, Beatrice Brewer, '11, and Irvin Poulter, '14, vice presidents, and Lloyd Millar, '14, secretary and treasurer, would add greatly to the dignity of the assembly. Prominent among the others present would be Laurence and Lorenzo Richards, who have recently returned to Ogden. Laurence has been attending law school at Washington, D. C, while Lorenze has spent part of the winter studying(?) in New York. They have gone into business in the city and are now operating the Richards Advertising Service. Another of Weber's distinguished graduates who would be present is LeRoy Leishman, '15. He has not as yet honored any college with his presence, but is turning his time and interests into the more lucrative channels of inventing human necessities. He has already perfected several devices which act as "substitutes" for the brain, and they have brought aid to the many thousands needing such instruments. He already has a desk in the Eccles building and with consistent effort his success in life is assured. The presence of all the girls who have left Weber's doors (with the exception of the school teachers whose duties would keep them away) would be assured and would add variety to the assemblage. One of these loyal girls is Miss Nettie Watson, '15, who has gone into the poultry business, and it is reported that she is getting along famously with her Fowles. |
