The debate held simultaneously with this at Weber was won by a 3 to 0 decision by Weber.

WEBER EqJ, 1 1 vr ' " 11 lis SRI JFTRFP? HF1? A T T A ONE MORE Mf VW I ll I 1 i' ' 1 TOSBE H1'0 FEATURE IEN 0 Dr. Fyanklin Stewart Harris Interests Students With Splendid Advice : Last Thursday. April 13, Dr. Franklin Stewart Harris, president of the i H. Y. I'., addressed the Weber students. Jr. Harris chose as his subject, "Choice and the Things in Lifa We Should SI rive For." He began by stating that when we had finished our school training It would be necessary lor us to make a choice of vocation. He compared the savage and the civilized man. The savage, he slated, 'chooses the easiest mode of living and is cotuented with a meager existence while the civilized man works toward , the big Ihings in life. He gave a. list 'til things worlh while striving for and 'added brief discussion of each. Among Ihe things he listed were health and vigor, freedom from bad habits, companioship, self respect, re-; spent of one's companion's, spirituality ! and education. j First of all one must strive for j good health because it overshadows I all oiluT things. Without good health j no one can make a great record. The ; second point, freedom from bad habits, goes hand in hand with the first and involves the human body in its strug-J gles for success both mentally and physically. The third and fourth points, companionship and self respect are closely associated wtih our wel-1 fare in .that our achievements in life I depend largely upon our associates ! and our characters and reputations, j The" last two points, spirituality aud education are also closely related to our welfare for without these we cannot expect absolute success. ' The students are very grateful to Dr. Harris for his splendid advice and feel that as they strive for the higher and nobler things of life they shall use the points. SIC ARTS CLUB Perhaps many of the students are not aware of the presence of a music club at Weber. Nevertheless this organization has been holding its meetings regularly. The Music Arts club was promoted and fostered for the appreciation of the higher forms of music. The programs that have been given recently have been both interesting and elevating. During the months of February and March the following discussions were given: The Folk Song; McDowell and His Place in American Music; Grieg and the Norwegian Music; and the Opera Thais of Massanet. The folk song was very skillfully discussed by one of Og-den's most prominent vocal teachers. Miss Ellen Thomas. Miss Thomas spoke of the universality of the folk song and of its influence and prominence in the different races. Illustrations of folk music were given by Mrs. Ruth Fisher and Mrs. Melba Reed .Tones assisted by Mrs. Myra Shreeve Froerer. Miss Marva McBride gave an interesting sketch of the Opera Thais. Miss Vinette Perry illustrated well on the violin with the selection "Meditation" ; and others. This program gave the stu-I dent a lair idea of the fluent style and ! the brilliant daintiness and pathos of ' Fivnch muic. I Misses Miriam Woodbury and Lou i Jean McKay gave a very pleasing pro-i gram on the life and music of Edwrard i A. McDowell. Miss Woodbury, in a dis-! cussion of his music, emphasized its grace and originality. Miss McKay i ably illustrated with two of his selections, "Shadow Dance" and "Taran-j tella." The program given two weeks ago ; on Grieg and the Norwegian music, j Miss Marion Tayler gave a short i sketch of the famous Norwegian musi-jcian.aiid touched briefly on his style ' ot composition. Miss Doris Tribe, a promising student of Professor Coop ivndered two of Grieg's compisiiions, "Heart's Sores" ami "Love Song." ! Honor day is to be held this year on j Friday. April 2S.

IHSBffll I ; , i ' Gold Award Given Weber Girl By Remington Type writer Company MISS ELLA JOHNSON Superintendent Adam S. Bennion once said, "Every high school student should know how to typewrite." The time wTill come when every student will realize the' importance of this statement. Already the English student are finding difficulty in getting their stories and speeches typewritten. They have to depend solely on someone else for that part of their work often causing much., delay and inconvenience. . Not only the present students, but those who have left school and have gone on with their vocations are continually finding need of the typewriter; and those who are compelled to pick out the keys one by one know what a tedious task it is. Oh.- the other hand,' those who have learned to typewrite by touch and have trained their fingers to move automatically as they read, find typewriting a pleasure as well as a saving of that valuable time. In the accompanying picture Miss Ella Johnson is wearing the gold medal awarded by: the Remington Typewriter company of New York fot writing 60 net words per minute foi ten minutes writh only three errors. Both the Underwood and Remington companies offer wards to students in order to encourage , typewriting efficiency. To encourage better work in our school, the commercial department is holding typewriting contests, offering awards for the best typewriting students in the school. The final test and awards will be given the first week in May. oo- Junior College Section to Be Separated From High in Near Future Weber is, in the very near future, to be formally declared a junior college. A movement is now on foot to separate the student associations. The students of the college are carrying some separate activities at the present time, those of oratory, and debating. The faculty has sanctioned the action and a nomination will be held this week to seek out the man "who will make the best president of the collegestudent-association. Much more college co-operation will be seen next year when the associations will be separated and the college recognized by other schools. BUSINESS MEN OF OGDEN ACT IN GYM BEHALF At a recent meeting of the Ogden chamber of commerce action was taken in regard to the Weber gymnasium. President E. S. Hinckley of the Rotary club offered the motion that each civics club of the city appoint a member to act on a conjoint committee to further appropriations for the gym. This motion was carried unanimously. It is pieainu 10 note that ()2den's club ami business men are seeking to benefit tiie city by helping to push Lh tint uiett Oiwi4m :Tfi HGRFKATT ! WRtn PHI ! M I ; TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1922 AGA lAnnual Dancing Classic ! Attended By Some 300 I Guests The most classical dance of the Weber school- year was given Friday, March 10, in the Berthana under the auspices of the junior class of the school. The evening was enjoyed by some three hundred guests, many of these being from out of town. A truly complex and beautiful grand march or "promenade" was led by the class officers, Mr. Llewellyn McKay, president, a"d Miss Josephine Rhees, secretary-treasurer, followed by the prom committee, and was under the able direction of Mrs. Belle Salmon Ross. When the evening was well advanced the guests were entertained with a pleasing, well planned program consisting of dancing numbers furnished by Miss Tottie Hart and Miss Ruth Stevens and two vocal selections furnished by little Marianne Allison, "Alice Blue Gown," and "Tuck Me to Sleep." During the first part of the evening the spotlight rested on the-school banner of purple and white which hung from the balcony and the gold and blue class banner "23" which hung from the wall. The officers of the class in addition to those mentioned are Miss Nan Em-mett, vice president, and Mr. Ed. Williams yellmaster. The 'Prom committee consisted of Miss Frances Crajrun, Miss Lois Jones, Miss Josephine Ithees, Miss Nan Em-mett, Miss Irma Cram, Mr. Sherman Couch, Mr, Llew-ellyn McKay, .Mr. Grant Lot green and Mr. William Terry.Refreshing and cooling punch was served by some of the class members during the course of the evening. CLASS SEES HOW A NEWSPAPER IS MADE Recently Miss Keate's first period English class visited The Standard-Examiner and under the direction of M. H. Brandon, circulation manager, received first hand instruction on the subject of their past five weeks' study. Considerable thanks is extended by the class towards Mr. Brandon for his time and effort in making things interesting and clear for everyone. The departments visited were the editorial, composing and press departments. The class was first taken taken through the editorial rooms and was shown the telegraphic instruments used in receiving the messages sent in by the Associated Press .and International News service, after j which they were taken to the respective rooms of the managing editor and j his assistant, or city editor. -tTheir duties, together with those of the I reporters and assistant editors, were fully and interestingly explained. The filing room in this same section proved quite a novelty when the class learned that it contained papers from '79 and was shown a paper carrying the date of 1891. I The class then went to the main (floor into possibly the most interest ing of the departments, namely, the composing room, where the seven linotype machines caused much comment on the part of the students. They then saw the form, on which each page of the paper is made from the linotype "reader" advertising and picture cuts. After the "form" comes the "mat press." From the imprint on the mat was made the round cylinder, ready for the press. The press, as explained by Mr. Brandon, is capable of printing and cutting 38.000 copies an hour. This a person was disinclined to believe until a few minutes later, the papers came sliding out of the assembler, faster than was countable. This modern press has 12,-000 working parts and is valued at between $25,000 and $30,000. It, re-auired two freight cars to bring it I here. ! Circumstances favored the students j and they saw a new roll of paper be-iing put in position on the press. The I damage done by paper breaking in I the press, was also an unexpected I demonstration. I The little paper "addresser" was the 'last and possibly least of the machines 'witnessed in the pleasant and irfstrtic-; tive hour. 1 oo i SERVICE BUREAU I BUSY LAST MONTH The Public Service bureau during last month was exceptionally busy in sending out programs to the various wards in the city and county. Reports have come to us that this organization had entertainers ont no nearly every j night of the month. n one Sunday lien programs were furnished dj the ' bureau. IN IS Kill Explains Value of "Self-! Fair Sex Presents "Girls: b p J fSMlfrXT IN Explains Value of "Self-starting" Students in Colleges Weber was recently honored with The presence of Professor George If. Brimhall, president emeritus of the B. Y. v: In his opening remarks lo the students Professor Brimhall stated thut Ogden. deserved and needed one of the finest colleges in the world. He continued his address by comparing t li .-human machine to the automobile. He said that in all schools there were some students Avho were self-sfarters while there were othefs who, like the common Ford, needed cranking. To show the value of self-starters he ciltd an example of this kind in a college where one type of students, the self-starting, took only only three and one-hair minuter? to begin to study while ihe cranking type required seven and one-half minutes. In addition, ho said that some people required a "Big Ben" as an incentive to start them off. Professor Brimhall stated that, ihe next consideration was strong "brakes." An automobile without strong brakes on a steep grade is in much danger. This may be applied to a human also. He told of a student at the Industrial school who. when questioned as to why he was there, replied that be had collided with society. Evidently he had had weak "brakes." To avoid such collisions Mr. Brimhall advised the assembled students to strengthen their brakes and to use ths "compression" of society when their brakes were weak. He further mentioned the need of financial brakes in these trying times and advised the students to buy what they needed, not what they wanted. oo The students of Weber are all anxiously looking forward to the appearance of the beloved annual book, the Acorn. The staff is pleased to state that the students have aided materially in making the book a success. Mary of the students have taken clever snapshots and some of the poses are real pictures. We all realize that snapshots make the book. Two-thirds of the pictures in this year's book will be snapshots. The Acorn will be of good size and of proportionate value. Beside the large number of pictures in the book there will be approximately, we are jtold, 50,000 words of reading materia. ! Every effort has been put forth to ! place the book In the hands of the students at the lowest possible cost ana I in the proper season of the year. The I expense in publishing the Acorn this iyear is greater than in previous years. The total price will be, $2000 and S00 jcopies will be printed. I Uurins: the last four years the Acorn was not published until the middle of the sum-mer vacation but due to the special and able efforts of the staff of this year's book, it will be out in georl time. The business men of the city are helping Weber in many ways to put out (a book of good literary and pictorial lvalue, which will be a coveted asset to the Weber Normal college. The Ridges i studio, the Scoville Press and the book ': stores and drug stores in the develop-i ing of pictures were of materia as-jsisuince.This Acorn book will be a big ad-ivertiser for Weber. I WEBER LOOSES IN COALVILLE DEBATE Last Saturday our negative debating team journeyed to Coalville to meet the North Summit High school team on The question of the betterment of state roads. The team made a valiant showing but regrets to tell us that it was defeated by a decision of 2 to 1. The team was composed of Miss Mabel Farr and Mr. Joseph Jeppson. The opposing debaters were Mr. Boyden and Miss Malin. The judges were Mr. Anderson, a business man of Morgan; Mr. Porter, lawyer of Morgan; and Superintendent Tippets of The Morgan county schools. Notwithstanding this defeat we are proud of the efforts of this team oo The U. A. C. Glee club will start on its annual tour ot Idaho, April 16.

ACORN COMING RICH CONTEST IFair Sex Presents "Girls: Only" Show to Disap- I pointment of 'Boys Entirely out of sympathy with the 'fine sense of appreciation of the boy.s j of Weber, the girls of the school, on; March 21. staged one of the greatest shows of the season'. Plaintly spoken, j the boys were excluded from this i splendid event. But they expected lhat . ! : as one of the annual bitter pills of! their sex at the school. Moreover they i should not bemoan, for the girls will : redeem themselves shortly in, their' i Girl's Day commemoration. The first act on the program was presented by the dainty misses of the! sophomore class. The dancing and music given by these girls easily led the spectators to imagine themselves being entertained by the chorus girls of Zieefield's Follies. ! The next on the program was a one-j act play given by the , senior girls. ! Helen glater made a dashing young j hero and Wealtha Bramwell ably por-i frayed the cruel villain with the fear-! f ul black moustache, j The college girls 'then took Ihe stage ! and gave charming impressions of the rhymes of Mother Goose. Lively songs ' and snappy dances made this act a big ; success. j Last but not. least the junior girls presented an enticing little comedy en due A lilt Ol. ionsense. in wniuu they entirely justified the title. The show was proclaimed by all present to surpass by far the vaudevilles of the day. The girls all did exceedingly well and in the future years we expect some Sarah Bern-hardts and Schumann-Heinks to shine forth from among those who took part. After the vaudeville the girls adjourned to Room 12 wheer a heavenly luncheon was served. When they had eaten lo capacity the mighty theatre was transformed into a beautiful ball room where they danced until la late hour. At 8 o'clock on the evening of May 18 there will be an event of consid erable importance in the school year; that of the Alumni banquet. The purposes of this affair are, first, to initiate the college members and seniors into the Alumni association; second, to continue efforts to turn the interest of the prominent men toward the idea of a college; and, third, to raise the $4,000 pledge of Founders' day. It is the aim to depart from the usual cold, formal banquet of the occasion and to create instead a spirit of brotherhood and sociability. It is to be held in the college and not as heretofore in an isolated place such as the Ogden canyon and the Weber club rooms. The toastmaster of the evening will be Supt. Adam S. Bennion of the Church schools and the principal speaker will be Apostle David O. McKay. Various alumni classes are expected to represent themselves with old time school songs. The special guests of the banquet are to be the general Church authorities, the leading citizens of Ogden and the bishops of various wards , of the city. Three hundred guests in all are expected to attend. This will be a splendid affair and the girls' association of the school is appealed to for assistance in making it a success. BASEBALL WORK NOW ADVANCING With the face of the weather more smiling again somewhat of late Weber's stars of the diamond and track have begun their daily workouts. Baseball players have responded in large numbers and are working hard to form a fast team. The workouts are being held on the field at the corner of Gramercy and Twenty-eighth.

Annual Interesting Event Once More Goes to W eber Students BROTHERS AWARDED Athol and Junius Tribe Given First and Second Places Decidedly unusual remarks fell upon the ear of the writer us ho loft the Orplieum after the ltich contest between the t'g'den High school and We-' ber Wednesday morning. Two of these were. "Wasn't It interesting'." and "Wasn't it fine!" Determining the school Ihe. speakers came from is not difficult, when it is known that the winners were bulb from Weber. As the audience was reminded by Superintendent Hopkins, chairman of the occasion, "Oratory comes in families." Mr. Alhol Tribe was given first honors of $.1") and his older brother, Junius, second honors of $15. The other speaker for Weber was Mr. Leonard Wright. Miss Helen Cleveland and Mr. Lon Garrison were the representatives from the opposing school. Mr. Wright, the first speaker, had chosen as his subject, "Law Enforcement." He emphasized the fact that laxity in attending to the duty here o law enforcement is responsible in a great measure for the recent crime waves. He stated that crime is increasing rapidly as a result .nd quoted statistics showing that from 1913 to 1921 bank robberies grew In numbers from 300,000 to 1,200,000, an increase of 400 per cent, and that in the past ten years murder cases per year in New York have grown from 231 to 352. He further staled that In Los Angeles, not to bo compared with London in size, there were ten times as many murder cases as in the English city. Out of 679 murders committed in New, York only one arrest was made, he said. Mr. Wright declared that the eighteenth amendment of the United States was In common disregard. "A rigid enforcement of law decreases crime" he advised and appealed to his countrymen to uphold the laws of the nation since, in crime, it is at present "threatened with an insidious internal" situation. The next speaker was Miss Cleveland of the Odden High school. Her subject was "The Disarmament Conference1." She assured the listeners that the conference that recently convened at Washington was of material aid in the furthering of the welfare of humanity. CTie said that as a result America and Great Britain are in closer sympathy with each other than they were prior to the Revolutionary complications. Other results she mentioned were, in China, a clarifying of the term "open door" and a financial resuscitation, and. in Russia, an understanding of general affairs. She stated that the Washington conference brought about what those of Versailles and Geneva could not and nobly placed the welfare of humanity ahead of the rights of the nation. She suggested the slogan. "We serve humanity." The speeches of the winners followed in order and will not be discussed here as they are printed in full below. Mr. Lon Garrison, the remaining representative from the Ogden High school, was the last spr ker , with the sugar tariff 'as the germ of his discourse. He asserted that, disregarding the reputation of the UniU-d States as a sugar producing country, half of that product consumed here last year wa; Imported. The sugar industry, he said, was among the infant Industries of the nation, having been a complete failure up until the time of the erection of Lh-first successful factory in California in 1879. This fact, he gave, together with the fact that sugar is here produced at a higher cos' than in other places, as a reason for the advisibiiiiy of a protective tariff on sugar of $2.r per hundred. The judges of the contest were from the Brigham Yo.ung university, the Agricultural college and the University of Utah. They were N. A. Peterson, H. R. Merrill and P. L. Edwards. The Ogden High scnool orchestra made the program complete with sev. eral splendid renditions.
