Show WEE Bearded Beauties Feministic Charm ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF WEBER COLLEGE VOL. 2 Percy Grainger Plays Here Lyceum Program Sponsors Famous Pianist Music lovers of Ogden are looking forward with interest to the concert to be given by Percy Grainger, accomplished Australian pianist, composer and conductor, on February 9, 1939, at 8:00 p. m. in either the Ogden high or Weber college auditorium.This will be his second per-forimance in Ogden during the last two years, his first appearance being in the Weber college, March, 1937, on the lyceum program.Percy Grainger, while serving as bandsman in the U. S. army, became an American citizen. He made his American debut in 1918. "A man who writes music on his wall papers, and then tears off nine feet of the manuscript for his visitor to take away with him, is Percy Grainger's idea of a real music lover." Mr. Grainger has a collection of hundreds of folk songs. He started his collection in 1905. When asked about diet and exercise, he says: "Both diet and exercise are of first importance in keeping fit." Mr. Grainger is fond of many different types of athletics football, wrestling, long walks, trotting, swimming, and tennis. "I find little leisure for any of these pleasures except trotting, which I do, instead of walking at all times. I used to be called the 'trotting pianist" in London," he says. As to diet, he replies: "I think my taste in food is greatly influenced by the fact that I promised my mother as a boy, never to touch alcohol or tobacco, and have always kept these promises explicitly." Percy Grainger's favorite foods are oatmeal, gray and brown bread with butter and jam, boiled rice, wheat cakes with syrup, plain sweet puddings, pies, and nuts. His favorite drink is cold, unboiled milk mixed with boiling water half and half. Following are some of many favorable press reports about Mr. Grainger's playing: "Grainger is unquestionably one of the keyboard's most authentic poets, and moreover, he has the unique type of genius which courts public response by many and various devices, without any sacrifice of musicianly (Continued on Page 2) Beards to the right of them Beards to the left of them, Fuzz on most of them, Nothing on some of thejn.

"Hannah, trust me," he pleads. In spite of many doubts and fears, she consents. Not a sound jars the silence as he continues to gaze into her eyes. Suddenly his face becomes utterly blank. He gropes for words, but no words come. Hannah's despair is marked by her. disconcerted gestures. In desperation he finally cries, "Hey, for heaven's sake, somebody throw me my cue!" By the time George has gulped down his frustration and smoothed his ruffled demeanor, all the love has fled from Hannah's eyes. But in spite of everything the play must go on. And go on it will indeed. At each rehearsal the play's exquisite charm and tenderness are doubled. It has become something vital to each character because it is entirely different from the ultra - sophisticated, blase composition of many contemporary playwrights. Sparkling dialogue, intrinsic humor, and appealing pathos make it a drama brimming with human interest. Sidelights One of the most skillful artifices of the play will be the portrayal of George and Hannah after a lapse of fifty years. At the beginning of the play they are young and zestful, eager to welcome whatever life may bring. At the end, they are old and feeble with nothing left but fragile memories. Three beautiful settings are to be used. One of these, an English garden setting, is as attractive an outdoor set as has been seen on any inter-mountain s age.

This compares with 624 for the winter quarter of 1938, an increase of 153. One hundred three of this number are new students this quarter. An additional 150 are enrolled for classes under the vocational training program. This makes an accumulative enrollment of 11,004 for the year. This increased enrollment is a direct result of the expansionist program now in action at Weber. Fighting for a larger college, President Dixon is doing all in his power to align favorable groups to his policy of expansion. First he advocated the vocational building. His next project will probably be the acquisition of Central Junior High, and next, an aeronautical department.duction staff are: stage manager, Aaron Roylance; house manager, Glen Wilde; business and publicity, Ronald Cole; assistants, Rosemary Thinnes, and Max Burton; costumes and make-up, Lottie Lund, Kathleen Benson; properties, Lorene Taylor, Maurine Jackson; stage crew, Weldon Heslop, Wilmer Perry, Rulstun Zundell, Dick Russell, Merrill Burton, and Clyde.

Two busses and a fleet of private cars loaded with skis, toboggans, and laughing, shouting students and faculty members in warm snow togs, and gay colored caps and scarfs, journeyed to the scene of the outing. Icy roads prevented most of the cars from driving all the way to the grove, forcing many to cover the rest of the distance, about three blocks, on foot or skis. One bus ran out of oil near the dam delaying the arrival of its party for more than an hour. Some of its members hitched rides to Huntsville. Snow fell steadily during the afternoon and knee deep snow covered the slopes of the hills. Features of the day were: downhill skiing, jumping, toboggan racing, and a novel slalom, a zig-zag downhill race on skis. Harold Nickolas captained the winning toboggan team, traveling the course in 49 seconds. Hamilton's team was second; with Dean Williams' snow plow third. The slalom race was won by-Blaine Felt in a magnificent run of 48 seconds; Tommy Toyn placed second in 54 seconds, and Wendell Forsha third. Excelsior garnered 150 points to win the intra-mural division and T. I. C. placed second with 130 points. Miss Ida Stewart, physical education instructor at the college, and Margie Garner did some nice skiing for the women.The first aid class under the direction of Ferron Lossee, instructor, maintained a Red Cross first aid stand to care for cuts bruises and other injuries. Frost bitten fingers and toes were warmed at a pint sized fire near the stand. Piping hot dogs and orangeade were sold by the Whip club girls. On the day preceding the outing, Frenisti, Weber boy's club, built a huge wood W at the foot of the hills, marking the site of the carnival. This carnival is held annually and is the outstanding outdoor sport event of the winter quarter.
