SCHOOL NOTES The Lecture Course "Some people are as two little chicks pick, pick, pick." This quotation is expressive of the lecture entitled, "Sour Grapes," which was delivered by Edward Amherst Ott, one of America's best known lecturers. "Laugh and grow fat." That is what we did the night Mr. Ralph Bingham, the famous humorist, was in town. We were very fortunate in securing a return of an old favorite, Professor S. H. Clark, who gave a beautiful interpretation of "The Melting Pot." The thought expressed in this story is worthy only of such a rendition as he is capable of giving. Governor Hadley of Missouri was an instructive number of our course. His talk was based upon economic problems of today. Miss Maud May Babcock's rendition of Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra was a fitting close to our successful lecture course. So great is the charm and the talent exhibited by Miss Babcock in her readings that she is heard time after time only with renewed interest. It takes the second year shorthand class to have the fun. A party was given in honor of Miss Earle on February 26. Principal Henderson ate so many dilled pickles that the students had to refrain from appeasing their appetites in order to keep him supplied. On March 19th Miss Earle ran into the office and told the principal that her door would not open and that she must have a new one or. She naturally felt a little put out when Professor Henderson accompanied her to room H and showed her a dainty lunch that had been prepared. With a pleasing smile, she entered into the spirit of the occasion and shorthand was forgotten that day. Still boosting for a gym? You bet we are. Our boosting is having some effect, too. Everyone who wore an "Are U for a Gym?" tag was admitted to the big matinee the students gave for the benefit of the new gymnasium. Keep on boosting. It counts. ACORN 13 Who says that we don't have some jolly good times here at Weber? Especially when we have basket-ball boys who can win state championships and give us sufficient reasons for celebrating. The day after our victory at Brigham City was sjent in rejoicing. The main feats of the morning program were: A basket-ball game between ten Senior girls, and one between the first team and the faculty. A dancing matinee was held in the afternoon and refreshments were served. The greatest celebration was held when the state championship was carried home to Weber? The entire student body paraded the town and showed people that everyone had some school spirit. The O. H. S. joined with us at the dancing party in the afternoon. Visitors Miss Thurman, the teacher of elocution at the O. H. S., has twice been a welcome entertainer at devotional. The students would enjoy hearing her again, as her readings were exceptional. Superintendent Horace H. Cummings and President George II. Brimhall were with us on March 21. The remarks made by them were unusually effective. They urged us to feel our responsibility as individuals and as members of a church school. Professor Meeken of Salt Lake City paid us a visit on March 5th and encouraged us to take more interest in oral expression and develop the talent we have. The entire student body period on February 19 was given over to Mr. George Seaman, who gave us many interesting accounts of his experience while serving as a soldier in the Philipines. A lecture of rare significance was rendered by Professor Abbie of the U. of U. during one of our regular Wednesday morning periods. The purport of it was "Preparation for Service." What an honor it would be to possess the beautiful loving cup which Elijah Larkins, a well-known resident of Ogden, offers to the most successful public speaker in the two higher schools of Ogden. Iva Steers, Boyd Lindsay and Harold Brown, who have been selected to represent Weber, expect to bring another victory home to us. Mr. Larkins, in a few remarks, explained that his only object in proffering the cup was to encourage public speaking among high school students. "Birds of a feather flock together. Too often they flock in twos." The balcony may be the nearer to heaven, but Professor Hender-
