SCHOOL NOTES Basket Ball Celebration We had a red letter day at Weber February 26th. We celebrated our second victory over the Ogden High School in basketball. After devotional President Taylor took charge and asked the basketball team, manager and coach to take places on the stand. Each one was requested to speak on a subject suggested by the chairman. Spencer Collins, our yell master, led the Assembly in a number of songs and good rousing yells. Several challenges were offered and accepted. As soon as the program was over two basketball games followed the first one between the faculty and the school team, the second between th Juniors and Sophomores. Another interesting contest was the boxing match between Manager McEntire and the sergeant-at-arms, Andrew Poulson. Mac carried off the honors. While the games were in progress, peanuts and candy were liberally distributed. Later all joined in a dancing matinee. Richards-Purrington Contest It so happened, to complete our celebrations of February 26th, that the contest for the Richards-Purrington medal was held that afternoon. Each class was represented by two contestants, who were: LeRoy Leishman, Cora Kasius, Seniors; Ben Young, Cornelius Sanders, Juniors; Lamont Poulter, Verna Oborn, Sophomores, and Andrew Kasius and Franklin Richards, Freshmen. The subject was "United States and World-wide Peace." The chairman was Mr. Lee Purring-ton, one of the donors of the medal. After a great deal of excitement and suspense, the chairman announced that LeRoy Leishman was the successful contestant. Lecture Miss Maud May Babcock read the delightful little novel, "Monsieur Beaucaire," at the Tabernacle, on the evening of February 12th. With her pleasing manner and splendid interpretation she delighted her small, but appreciative audience. The Fuller Sisters appeared as a special number of our lecture course Friday, February 26th. Their program, consisting of old ACORN 18 Scotch, Irish and English folk songs and dances, was exceptionally good. It was an entertainment of the highest class, being both novel and entertaining. One of the most forceful and instructive lectures of the year was given Friday, March 12th, by Dr. Russell Conwell. His subject was "Acres of Diamonds." He said that fields of opportunity were open before the people of today and that the progressive American youth should be ashamed to remain poor. His message was unique and he presented it in an interesting manner. Prof. Montraville Wood, the eminent Chicago inventor, gave his most interesting and instructive lecture and demonstrations Monday evening, March 15th. Mr. Wood was assisted by his charming daughter. He demonstrated the ultra-violet ray, gyroscope, and the monorail car. Band Dance The Band Boys gave a dancing party March 5th. A special program of dances was prepared for the evening. Every one had a splendid time and declared the party a big success. Sylvia Barlow's Farewell Miss Sylvia Barlow, a popular member of the student body, was called to go on a mission to the Eastern states. A dancing party was given in her honor Monday evening, March 1st, which was attended by a host of Miss Barlow's friends, to express their best wishes. The faculty and student body presented Miss Barlow with a beautiful gold watch as a token of their esteem. Wilson's Court Wednesday morning, at 9 o'clock, an overflow session of Court was held in the Assembly hall, for the purpose of considering the charges of the state of rest against defendant Heinz Slivers (Leland Heiner) for maliciously, unconsciously, boldly, cowardly cutting down trees from the forest reserve to construct toothpicks; also the charge of the state of unrest against Archibald Spooner (Earl Nixon) for wilfully, thoughtlessly, kindly, indignantly stealing sleep from President Watson. Both offenders were found guilty.
