SCHOOL NOTES Assemblies Friday, December 4th, we had an intellectual treat. Miss Alice Reynolds, instructor at the Brigham Young University, spoke to the students. Her subject was "Husks." She spoke for a few minutes on the great church school system, of which we are a part. She said she was thankful she lived in this age when there was such broad fields for development, and that we are, as Tennyson says, "heirs to the ages.'" Miss Reynolds then discussed mental and spiritual husks. She told how some are satisfied with the cheap and common things of life, while they might have the best that the past centuries have left us. President Harvey Taylor took charge December 9th, on Student Body morning. He announced that we had the motto, "Boost for Weber's Talent." The program was as follows: Vocal duet, Misses Clara and Ethel Bowns; piano solo, Amy Shupe; reading, Julia Wade; vocal solo, Alice Peterson; reading, Lois Glines; piano solo, Myrtle Reese. Venice Jones then gave an original paper on "A Visit to Hell." He pictured many of our prominent students and faculty members in their future life. Assembly was then given over to yell practice. Our old friend, Oscar Kirkham, was with us December 2nd, and spoke a few minutes. The Friday before the holidays we had an excellent Christmas program. The students and Faculty were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected entrance of Brother Henderson, our old principal. We were all delighted to see and hear from our old friend and teacher again. One of the most enthusiastic assemblies we have had this year was held Friday morning, January 22nd, the occasion being the awarding of the sweaters to the basketball boys. The sweaters were presented by Principal James L. Barker. He spoke very highly of the scholarship and moral standing of the boys, as well as their athletic attainments. Those receiving sweaters were: Theodore Herbert, Volney Belnap, Lawrence Wilde, Earl Nixon, Elvin Wilkinson, Victor Critchlow, Leland Brewer, William Millar, and Myron Mclntire. As soon as the athletes received their sweaters they adjourned to the Athletic Room, donned them and marched back in a body into the Assembly Hall. Each one of the boys made a short speech and expressed his appreciation. ACORN 14 Dr. Edward I. Rich addressed the students Monday morning, January 25th. He gave a very good talk on some of the attributes to success and how to attain them. He said we could have anything in life we wanted if we would apply ourselves. The students were all delighted on the morning of January 25th, when their old friend and teacher, Leroy E. Cowles, addressed them. Brother Cowles was head of the English department a few years ago and made many friends in and out of the school. He is now a professor in the school of education, at the University of Utah. He has made rapid strides on the path of success. We are proud that he is interested in Weber, and that we can claim him as a friend. He spoke to the students on essentials in character building and developed the phase of self-mastery. The talk impressed the students and undoubtedly will be an influence for good. Lecture Course Ross Crane, cartoonist and entertainer, appeared on our lecture platform, Wednesday, December 2nd. He is an artist of unusual ability. His sketches were splendid, and his clay modeling was equally as good. Mr. Crane had a pleasing personality, and he won his audience. Robert Manlove, the Man of Many Faces, was here January 12th. He impersonated many characters found in every-day life, here in America. Mr. Manlove played upon the emotions of his audience, and moved them from laughter to tears. The evening spent with Mr. Manlove was one of real enjoyment. The sixth number of our lecture course was a lecture given by Mr. Windship. Those who heard his talk pronounced it excellent in the highest sense of the word. "Getting Into the Game" was the subject, and it was full of practical, nineteen-fifteen common sense. School Dramatics The students of Weber are going to present "Brown of Harvard," this year under the direction of Prof. T. Earl Pardoe. This is a big undertaking, but the students feel to give their hearty support and we expect to make it a big success. Acorn Doings A most enjoyable time was spent by the "Acorn" staff on the evening of December 9th. Progressive games were played and later delicious refreshments were served. The staff also gave a bob party January 12th. They all enjoyed the long ride and dainty lunch served at the home of one of the girls.
