Show 19 ACORN Band and Orchestra Party On the evening of March 8th the band and orchestra boys gave a social. The fore part of the evening was occupied in dancing in the Auditorium. There were present, besides each member and partner, Prof. Nichols and wife. After dancing, an elaborate supper was served in the dining room. Toasts were rendered by Prof. Nichols and President Williamsen, who spoke their appreciation for the loyalty and support which the members had given them. Patriots' Birthdays In devotional, we had two special programs, one in commemoration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and the other of George Washington. Fitting programs were carried out. At the latter exercise we were fortunate enough to have as the speaker Prof. E. S. Hinckley, Superintendent of the Industrial School. Dramatics The Weber Academy staged the comedy-drama "Brown of Harvard" at the Orpheum March 24th. The play was an unqualified success. The cast put on a very finished production for amateurs, and their clever acting was highly complimented by the audience. A great deal of credit is due to the able and diligent work of the director, T. Earl Pardoe. Senior Sentiments Saturday evening, February 27th, the Senior class gave a farewell party in honor of Miss Sylvia Barlow, who has been called to labor in the Eastern states mission. The senior class is a progressive class, and therefore the party was progressive. The first part of the evening was spent at the home of Mary Jacobs, where interesting games were played. The party continued at the home of the vice president, Miss Vera Jones. Here dancing was enjoyed by all and luncheon was served. This was undoubtedly the finest party of the year, and the class of '15 never had a better time. The class play, "The Touch Down," is attaining success under the able direction of Miss Minnie Brown. The first presentation was given in Plain City March 11th, and was enjoyed by a good-sized crowd. ACORN 20 One of our members, LeRoy Leishman, has brought more honors to himself and the class by winning the ten dollar prize for the best essay on the weaving of rugs. Junior Thoughts We were indeed sorry to lose our vice president, Miss Rae Lofgreen, but we are glad that she is so successful as to be able to graduate this year. We wish to thank her for what she has done for us, and wish her success in all her undertakings in life. Miss Irene Scoville was chosen to act in her place. Our President, Mr. Brewer, has been on a vacation to the fair in California for the past three weeks. We welcome him back to us again to take hold of our business. Preparations are being made for the "Prom," and we are sure that with the support of all Juniors we will be able to make it a success. Sophomore's Awakening We are glad to say that we won from the Freshmen in debating and our team, consisting of Cedina Bingham and Ernest Wilkenson, debated with the Seniors and sure put up a hard fight. We are proud of them and hope they will continue their good work. Vera Bailey is another student of whom we are very proud. She carried off the first prize, in the contest on the theme of carpet weaving. Our Washington birthday party was one that will be remembered by all who were there. Besides the good music, the affair was made more pleasing by all the students appearing in the old Colonial costumes. We know Easter is near, and so the Sophomores have planned a way to entertain everyone in school and just make them have the time of their lives. So, all students of Weber, be on the lookout, lest you miss the time of your life. Freshman Fancies The Freshman lads and lassies appeared in full force on the night of March 3rd. The smiling and happy crowd thoroughly enjoyed the evening in dancing and merrymaking. Although we did not win in debating we are proud of the work of our team. Our representatives also did splendid work in the contest for the Richards-Purrington medal. |
