PAY FOR YOUR ACORN BEING COMPLETED The work on the Acorn is advancing rapidly and the hook will undoubtedly surpass all expectations. Miss Wilson an,d Mr. Poulter are spending much time and are working very hard to get the hook out early. The pictures are being set up and this promises to be a most beautiful section, The students responded very well when they were asked to have their pictures taken. These pictures as a rule are very good. Mr. Rabe should receive much patronage from the students in the future as a result of the wonderful record he is making now. The snap section is coming along pretty well, although not as it should. Some of the students do not seem to recognize the fact that the book is their book and therefore haven't taken the interest in handing in snaps as they should have done. Mow-ever, lleber Jacobs as snap editor has been working I very hard and expects to bring this section up to a real College standard. The Sports, Literary, Musical, and other sections are of the very highest. Mr. Poulter reports that many of the students are becoming delinquent with their payments and he would like them to look into this and settle as soon as possible. He also says he is willing to take new subscriptions ami advises the students who have not yet subscribed to do so as soon as possible. SHORTSTORYCONTEST FINAL NOTICE! All those desirous of competing in the Douglas Literary Contest should hand in their work as soon as possible.The contest should have closed about March 1, but the time was extended because so few stories, essays, or poems were handed in. The terms of the contest are very liberal and should be inducements to the students of 'Weber. Snine of the best articles will be used in the publication of the Literary Journal. All who wish to enter this contest should not fail to hand in their work to Miss Elma Taylor within the next two weeks. GAY PARTY HELD AT WEBER COLLEGE Last Tuesday evening a delightful party was held at Weber College bv the Mount Ogden Stake Officers. The honored guests were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Murdock, newly-weds, and members of that Stake. M any delight! ul games were played and a luncheon was served. Each couple presented ! with a beautiful picture by the stake ollicers. All the guests had a very enjoyable time. There were about thirty-two present. Mr. Williams is a former Weber student. For some time he has been on the stage with Moroni Olsen's player's and has traveled around considerably with that troupe. """"i """"i"11 iiiiiiiiiJJiiJJMiiuii Cast For "Charm School" Chosen For some time Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Bertha Eccles Wright, and Miss Betty Noble have been working- very hard trying to choose a cast for the piay wnicn is to be given in the near future. Tryouts have been going on all week. Some twenty-five or thirty students tried out for the play and there was so much good talent that it was hard to decide on the final cast which requires eleven female and six male characters. At present all of the characters have been chosen except the twins. The cast is as follows: Hazel Bingham, Norma Jensen, Erna Cram, Edna Stalling, Ruth Brewer, Leona Munn, Eva Shreeve, Dorothy Cortez, Emu Valentine, Ilah Naisbelt, and Katherine Cannon taking the. female characters, with Ilensley Cortez, Jesse Lillywhite, Clarence Barker, and Eliot Ilenninger, as the male characters. The twins are to be chosen from the following: Either lleber Jacobs and Charles Hussey, or Orvil Winkler and Ray mond Poulter. P. S. Club Renders Snappy Program The P. S. Club of Weber rendered the Devotional program Tuesday, March 25. It was as follows: Prelude Elizabeth Shaw. Prayer Ruth Folkman. Vocal Solo Myra Wright, accompanied by Clarence Brown. Steel Guitar Solo Dorothy Cortez, accompanied by Virginia Neuteboom. Chorus by the members of the Club. The numbers were vei"3' en tertaining and instructive. The eligibility of Mr. Clarence Brown to act as a mem ber of this girls club was questioned by some of the fellows, but did not become a serious issue. The last number was the one that caused te most disturbance. The chorus had composed a song which put special stress upon the club's love for acting-President J. Q. Blaylock. It mentioned the other members of the faculty and commented upon their characteristics. We'd like to know who the poet was. The whole program was greatly appreciated by the students. This should be an incentive for the other clubs of the school to show their wares. April Fool Program Very Interesting A so-called "Sextet" composed of Miss Melba Hyde, Miss Katherine Cannon and Miss Lucile Parry entertained the students in true April fool fashion in assembly Tuesday morning. An April-fool duet "Tuning. up" was artistically rendered i he second number, ex temporaneous, (?) won the approval of the students and the young ladies were called back again. They responded with "Funicilla" from the top of the upright piano, but their modesty forced them to turn their backs, upon which hung signs bearing the leg-: end "April Fool." This viuecl amusement tor the eve as well as the ear. Pretty good, girls. Buy from our advertisers, i iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiii minimi LI An excellent address by Dr. E. P. Mills of Ogden was the feature of the Devotional Exercises held at the College, Monday morning, March 24. His subject was 'Biology and Bolsheviki." Dr. ALUs brot out the thot that science has made it possible for us to avoid certain things that have destroyed great civilizations before ours. The relation of heredity to crime and vice was stresed by the speaker who referred to the well known "Jukes and Kalikak" families whose descendants have been so closely watched by biologists.In the so called "Jukes" family a feeble minded man married a feeble minded woman. Every one of the three hundred and twenty descendants of this couple have been feeble minded and given to crime. As a comparison he called attention to the Edwards family, descendants from staunch Puritans. This family has furnished 1,500 college graduates, nine heads of Universities and thirty authors, and according to all available information, none have ever committed crime. The statement that all men are created equal can only be used in the limited sense in which it was first used. What we are is the result of what our parents were. Feeble mindedness and crime go hand in hand, and are hereditary. It would seem that any student might get a valuable lesson from these facts. Students Given Party By Miss Cannon After the Prom last Friday night the' P. S. club with a few others were entertained at a party at the home of Miss Katherine Cannon. A very sociable time was enjoyed by all present, games were played, and stories told. Miss Cannon and Miss Florence Roberts served a light Midnight luncheon to the guests. There were a-bout thirty present. The main event of the evening was the passing story as told by Miss Cannon, Miss Wilson, Mr. Lleber Tacobs. Mr. Van Tanner, and Rigby Jacobs, the chief character was a boy four feet tall and weighing about three hundred pounds. Rigby left the boy m a dark underground passage where a whif of air had blown the candle out and some mysterious power had removed the table. It was to be continued. PURPLES TRIUMPH IN TUG OF WAR After the "Whites" had been ignominiously dragged, inch bv inch over the line Thursday noon they began to regret that their noble Chief tan Ilensley Cortez, had so boldly accepted the chal- lenge hurled at them by the "Purples." The "Whites". however, have protested the tug of war, and their protest has 1. 1111 ,i een upneiu nv the umnire. 'Mr. Claude Helm.

MONDAY, APRIL 7, U)24. Formality Adds Beauty and Dignity Sets High Standard For Future Socials; Grand March Most Successful The Weber College Promenade which was held Friday evening, March 28, in the Ber-thana, was a very creditable social for the school. It outclassed all such former e-vents.The. music started at eight o'clock and from the showing there at that time it seemed that it wouldn't be successful. But before the second dance was over the crowd had in creased considerably. Although the hall wasn't filled there was a much larger attendance than was antici pated. As several stated it, the crowd was just the right able tjme ibe All doubt as to the advisability of Weber making her Prom formal was put aside by the success of this one. The students and friends appeared in formal dress and the dance was conducted as a formal dance. True the first appearance of students in their tuxedos and full evening dress suits seemed to some rather peculiar but as they became accustomed to it they pronounced it the most beautiful affair they had ever seen. Especially did the formal dress add uniformity and beauty to the Grand March which was a most wonderful sight, and a grand success. The march was led by Van Tanner, President of the Freshman class, and Miss Myra Wright, Vice President. They were followed by President McKay, President Dye, Robert I. Burton, Ex-Mayor Francis, A. P. OPPORTUNITIES OF TODAY; SUBJECT OF ADDRESS Former Mayor Frank Fran cis, Weber's true friend and honorary alumni member was the speaker at the De votional exercises Friday, March 21-. His subject was "The Opportunities of To day. In the course of his address, Mr. Francis brought a number of great truths before the students. The following extracts will indicate the tone of his excellent talk: "The good that we give into the lives of others, comes back to our own." "The more you give to the world the more you will receive.""We never do a noble act but what it has been started by thinking a noble thought. The acts you do depend on the thoughts you think." The attentiveness of the students indicated a marked respect for the speaker and his subject. DR. LIND SPEAKS Friday, March 28th, Dr. John G. Lind lectured to the Student Body on the subject of " General Geolotrv." He explained the geolog- lsts method of reckoning: time in the worlds history , and discussed the formation ' of mountains, giving particu-1 lar attention to the Wasatch Range, and Ogden Canyon, j iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiii 111111 ""'illinium Bigelow, with their wives and other prominent friends. Next came the faculty, the Sophomores, the Freshmen, and the friends of Weber. A great majority of the people took part in the march and with the wonderful array of color presented in dresses, the march was indeed a most magnificant sight. Much favorable com ment was made by the spec tators. During the course of the events acting President Blay lock read a message from President Tracy in which he showed his interest in the affair, wishing everyone a good time and that in his personal absence he was there m spir it. Pres. Tracy also stated in his absence he wished every one to try the punch which he furnished as a token of his interest. - The party was full of life and cheerfulness from the first dance to the very last. The Orchestra furnished fine music and all in all the first College Prom ever held in Ogden certainly set a stand ard for such events that fol low. Those who did not at tend will come to know the full joy of such a social only by attending future Weber Proms. Much credit for the great success of the affair is due to the hard work of the Prom committee, Mr. Van Tanner, Miss Myra Wright, President Blaylock, Miss Betty Noble, Miss Helen Wilson, and Mr. Rulon Jenkins. HENSLEY CORTEZ VIC-TIM OF PRACTICAL JOKE Mr. Ilensley Cortez was the victim of a huge "April Fool" joke on Tuesday, April 1, when he received a telephone call summoning him to Salt Lake City to settle with Mullet an,d Kelly, clothiers who were supposed to be dissatisfied with the condition of the Tuxedos which Ilensley returned to them Monday. Mr. Cortez went directly from his home to Salt Lake City to make the settlement. This was evidently not expected by the "Jokers" who undoubtedly were the ones that sent a message to Mullet and Kelly to be delivered to Hensley telling him that it was all an April Fool joke. Hensley seemed to take the joke in good part but Mullet and Kelly, although not harmed, didn't like it very well, and when Mr. Cortez called there he was almost thrown out. Thin g s have quietened j down somewhat but Hensley would still like to know who pulled it on him. Not that he would cause any trouble but he would just like to now. Notice the adaptable peo- pie. They are invariably the interesting, the attractive. the lovable people. Kathleen Xorris.

H. Recder, Thursday, March 27, 1924. "It is a pleasure to come back to this institution and be where I have spent so many pleasurable hours of my life. I take it you are here for serious purposes. therefore, I am not going to amuse you with funny stor ies. I am going to quote what Murray Butler, President of the Columbia University, has to say on I he Essential Attainments of an Educated Man." They are: l. correctness and precis ion in the use ot English. 2. Refined and gentle man ners. 3. Power of reflection. 4. Power of growth. 5. Sound standards feeling of appreciation. and 6. Ability to do efficiently without nervous agitation. 7. Power to marshall worlds experience in at least one field and use it effectively for i unifier constructive achieve ment." I think you will agree with me that no one can be classed as an educated man who lacks any of these. For ' many years I have made it a practice of picking out each day something worth while to study about, analizing it, and as I have done this I have discovered that it has brought me con siderable happiness. I commend that idea to you. I sug gest that you adopt some system where you can record these ideas and file them in some convenient way. I am going to ask those of you who have thought e no ugh of this quotation to jot it down to analize each one of these, th'at is, I should like to spend a little time with you in making this an alysis. The thing that interests me this morning- is "How can I become an educated Man?" It is very well to say "What are the elements of an educated man, and how shall I acquire this education?" We hear a great deal said about education. Most of us are familiar with the phases of education. We know we must all be physically educated, morally educated, and men tally educated. It is absolutely impossible for us to be come thorough in every one of these essentials, unless we are very well educated. I am sure that unless we are phys ically educated as well as mentally educated we will not be able to marshall the worlds experiences in any line of work and further that achievement. I am sure that if we are not morally educated none of us will have the ability to do efficiently without nervous agitation. Nervousness is the vilest impediment of success that I know of. A person who hasn't the power to control the nervous j system will never succeed very well in life. If we do not take good care of ourj bodies we cannot do any-j thing- without nervous agita-! tion. If we do anything thatj tends to destroy we cannot I be successful. And so I sayj that there can be no question about the fact that these! seven elements are essential.! How shall we become1 thoroughly educated. To be-! come thoroughly an educated ' man depends upon you.

The honor roll for the quarter contained the names of seven students. These students carried a straight A grade through all their subjects. Upon comparison it was found that Miss Helen Wilson and Mr. Ver-nald Jones tied for the highest place. President Blaylock decided to give the amount of the original prize to each of them. Other students had just as high grades but were carrying only three subjects while these two were carrying four. The other honor students for the quarter were Mrs. Jessie Buell Miss Ella Robinson, Miss Edith Gidney, Mr Leland Monson and Mr. Sterling Wheelwright. Phoenix Wishes To Play Weber Recently the Chamber of Commerce of Ogden received a letter from the Phoenix Junior College of Arizona in which they state that they are making out their foot ball schedule for this year. They state they were highly pleased with Weber's team and the way they played and that they would like to book a game with Weber at Ogden for this year. Owing to the great interest taken in the game at Phoenix on Christmas day it is thought that Phoenix would be a strong -drawing card at Ogden. They asked to hear from Weber soon as to what kind of a guarantee could be made. Girls Day, April 18th April 18, the day of days for Weber fellows! The plans are rapidly ma turing for a real time to be had by girls and fellows a- like. By fellows because thev will not have to spend their cash or make the dates. The girls will enjoy themselves because there will be excit- ment of making a date and asking for -dances, to say nothing ot spending some of dad s money. Be preparing for the great event on April 18, girls day. Geology Class To Take Field Trip The Geology class is plan ning for a field trip to be taken in the near future. Judging from the inslruc-ions given in Geology class, this morning by Dr. Lind, the hike will be a real one. It might also prove a dangerous one, for every one is commanded to bring his or her hammer. Sounds like a real "hard time" doesn't it? But then of course we'll have Dr. Lind right there to see that only things we hammer are the mountains The class is looking forward with interest to this field trip for it will be the first one this term. The trips are entertaining as well as instructive and the students seem to enjoy them immensely. It ain't gonna rain no more. P. S. Club FOUR PAGES MORONI OLSON READS IN ASSEMBLY; JAMES r Another excellent devotional program was given the students last Thursday. Moroni Olson of the Moroni Olson players and a former student of the old Weber Academy was present and read "The Chinese Nightingale." Professor Jas. L. Barker of the University of Utah, faculty, also a former Wcberite was present in the interest of the University. In the course of his address he referred to the report compiled at the University showing that Weber students stood higher in average scholarship at that school than the students of any other school in the state, details of which, were published in a recent issue of the Herald. Because of such enviable accomplishments as these he predicted that the Weber College would have a wonderful future. He encouraged the students not to stop their training too soon, saying that a high school education of today can only be termed the equivalent of a grade- school education thirty years ago be cause of the rapidly rising standards. M. A.'s are more common today than A. B. degrees were then. He also emphasised the ne cessity for staying as near to home as possible while get ting that education. "The value of home influence cannot be overestimated. For the first two years you cannot do better than to stay here at Weber. Here you have the advantage of the home influence as well as goodteaching-. Then after leaving Weber go to one of your state institutions. I would recommend the U. of U. because it is close to your home and because it has A-l rating, being the only school of higher learning in the state belonging to the American Association of Universities." In conclusion he invited the Weber upper classmen and such others as were interested to be present at the University on High School day, May 16, and gave a brief outline of the days activities. Student Body Election Soon Every where we look we see schools preparing for the annual student body elections. While not much has been said around Weber as yet in a public way, groups of students may be seen around the halls talking in undertones about matters important. Prospective candidates for the positions are working overtime winning their way into the good graces of the students. Qualifications imposed upon candidates by the rules will eliminate many of the ambitious ones, but there should be plenty of good material to fill all positions. Things point towards one of the livest campaigns held for a long time, and any one having intentions of entering "politics" would do well to get busy right away. Let's get the pot boiling early this year. A THOT Failure may be quite as important as success in character making. |
