16 ACORN ers while Era McKay revived them by sponging them off with cold water. The Student's team had had no practice since Saturday, but in spite of this handicap, they did remarkably well and though for a time it seemed that the Senate might win, but fate bitter fate, was against them, for the Representatives' team played off the tie and when the whistle blew the score was 4 to 61 in the students' favor. Rae Barlow's efforts in rousing the enthusiasm of the students and leading the yells made it possible to win the game, otherwise we might have been defeated, for the Faculty had no yell squad. To say that the game was one of the best ever given in the Academy only partly expresses our sentiments. The only regret we felt after was that the Senate's basket ball team were unable to participate in the rest of the celebration, as they did not appear at the matinee in the afternoon. (Prof. Henderson wishes me to apologize for them, they were busy preparing exams for the next day). Since the game we have learned that Alma Wilson is a very proficient peanut peddler. The nuts gave the boys strength to win for us. We should also add that anyone desiring an excellent janitor may possibly secure Prof. Jensen's services, though on such occasions they would be a great loss to our school. Lecture: The great question of "How to Be Happy" is one in which all persons in our modern day are interested and men are devoting their time to the solution of the problem and presenting their views to the public mind. Prominent among these educators is Mr. Lee Francis Lybarger, who appeared before a large audience in our hall on the evening of Jan. 17. Mr. Lybarger says that the two main requisites to a happy life are "Intensity of Feeling" and "Moderation of Action." Some specific requirements are health, the right mental attitude toward things, freedom from anxiety, faith, cheerfulness, hilarity, laughter and contentment." The idea that we should be happy was brought out forcibly by the speaker, for, says Mr. Lybarger, "we get just what we seek for. If we want success we will get success; if we want happiness we can be happy." LITERARY INTERPRETATION OF "BLUEBIRD" AND "CHANTECLEER." It is needless to say that the visit of Miss Cora Mel Patten was a treat to all lovers of drama and is indeed regarded as one of the great literary events of the season. Miss Patten appeared under the auspices of the Weber Academy and the Ogden Teachers' Organization before a very large audience of students and teachers. As to her ability along those lines, Miss ACORN 17 Patten is widely known. She makes each character stand out vividly and leave its distinct impression upon the minds of her hearers. Many persons appreciation of Maeterlinck's "Bluebird" and Rostand's "Chantecleer" was greatly increased after the recital. BIRTHDAYS OF NATION'S GREATEST HEROES HONORED. The birthdays of our nation's two greatest heroes, Geo. Washington and Abraham Lincoln, were observed by the faculty and students of the Academy; no school being held either day. A short program in honor of the former hero was given Tuesday morning, Feb. 21. President D. O. McKay delivered the address. He attributed Washington's greatness to three things the faithful performance of every little duty, honesty and fair judgment, and the losing of oneself for the good of others. He also showed that: "The heights of great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flights, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." BIG SOCIAL EVENT. One of the prettiest and best parties ever given in the Academy was the Seniors' Valentine Party, on the evening of Feb. 23. The hall presented a very artistic appearance, the decoration scheme being hearts. The Seniors feel that they can recall with a great deal of pleasure their last party to the Students of the dear old W. A. PHYSICIAN ADDRESSES STUDENTS. On Feb. 4 Dr. Robinson of this city delivered an interesting talk on the subject of bacteria, to the students of the botany, physiology and domestic arts classes. He showed the good and bad effects of these germs, under what conditions they best develop, and how we might easily prevent much sickness, which is caused by their action. BENEFIT DANCE. On the evening of March 10 a dancing party was given for the benefit of the Snowflake Academy, formerly situated at Snowflake, Arizona. The party was declared a financial success; between fifty and seventy-five dollars being raised. It is hoped that our small sum will be added to other amounts and that a new building will soon be erected on the site now covered with the ruins of the old one.
