14 ACORN organized yell squads, glee clubs, drum corps, or in presenting of memorials to the school. The adoption of a uniform pin by the Student Body is very commendable. It will tend to extend the influence of the school, by the same means that the U. has worked itself into prominence. All graduates will be permitted to wear this pin, and only such others as the council may decide upon. One year ago we said we were going to have a Gym. Have you seen it? A stately annex to our school. No? You have not THAT seen it? Shall I tell you the reason? You have passed it GYM. by and you have forgotten to boost it. You can have a Gym, if you want it. All you have to do is to make the people think you are going to have one. Talk about itsing about it just make the people think about it and then they will talk about it. And when you have made a favorable impression on the public's mind the task is accomplished, for who is there who will withstand public opinion. Get out and boost, for the campaign is on.

Student Activities Acorn Ball The Acorn gave a dance, 'twas on Thanksgiving eve; 'Twas here they had a chance their patrons to receive. In wild delight the news was spread from shore to shore. All, whom the tidings reached could talk of nothing more. Gayly then did the echoes resound Till they reached the graves in a far distance town. John Alden, King Philip, first heard the call, And started at morn for the Acorn Ball. To keep directions straight, they traveled with the sun, And arrived in the morning, ere work was begun, But with surprising patience they stayed around all day, Then came at night ('Twas such a strange array).

With Miles Standish as leader, no wonder they came! And every one was pleased these ancient folks to hear, As they told of the first Thanksgiving in that 1620 year. When the dance was over, for home all left content, And said 'twas the best Thanksgiving eve that they had ever spent. '12.
