Show 16 ACORN Freshman Quibbles Our news is not all bad this time. We defeated the Sophomores in the Sophomore-Freshman debate, and now have the opportunity of meeting the Juniors to decide the ownership of the cup. We have also discovered that our athletic manager is not dead, but was only taking a nap after the basket-ball season. We are now going to have a track team. The Freshmen don't pretend to be athletes, but we will try to give the other classes a close race. Class Poem. We Freshmen only want to know What you will do when we all go. You may heap scorn upon our head; But you'll be sorry when we're dead. The German Club Der Weber Deutsches Klub has been fully organized and an evening of enjoyment has been spent under the direction of the club officers. About forty members met one Wednesday evening in the domestic art rooms of the Academy and listened to a short German program that had been prepared. Immediately following the program, the crowd repaired to the dance hall, where, between intervals of dancing, a delicious German supper was served by the officers.

On February 24th Weber's team journeyed to Brigham to do battle with the fast team of the Peach City. Nearly two hundred students accompanied the team.

Everyone was gradually crowding toward the center in order to see the game. Lindsay, Jones, Toone, McKay and Belnap defended Weber in the game that would decide the winners of the Northern Division.

The time was rapidly passing while Weber's best were fighting desperately to regain the lead. The score was so close that the people stood breathlessly waiting to see who would score next. The ball went from one end of the hall to the other, with Brigham doing the best passing. After a desperate fight, Weber scored a field goal and took the lead, never again to be crowded behind.
