Still Part of Weber Family It isn't easy to say gouu-oyc at ine end of a pleasant visit, but is much harder to say good-Dye to the family. We at Weber have Deen more tnan mere visitors enjoying a pleasant two years only to move on, we are a part of the Weber family, a group of happy well organized people with our beloved President Dixon at tne head of our family. We, like members of any other family, grow up. This growing up makes it necessary tor us to move on and take our places in a new society. We must continue our eternal education and also make homes for families of our own. At the same time, just as a man or a woman never forgets the fond memories of his childhood, we will never forget our experiences here at Weber. The joys, the sorrows, the work, the play, will always mean a lot to us and it will be like coming home again when we return to Weber and find the same spirit dominating its leaders as has always been the case. And it will please us all to see that the Weber family is being added to each year. A Message From Our President Dr. H. Aldous Dixon This is a time for youth to have faith in the future and to prepare themselves. The State has shown its faith by appropriating funds for new buildings at Weber College, including a stadium, which will be ready next autumn quarter, a heating plant now under contract to be constructed, and four classroom buildings for which plans are now complete. The Faculty has shown its faith by planning for next year a full offering of studies and a more effective program of guidance and counseling to select and prepare students according to their capabilities and the needs to the community. The Student Officers have shown their faith by planning a full program of activities, including a get-acquainted week, a full football and basketball schedule, intramurals, dances, canyon parties, and group activities such as the drill team and band. The Government has shown its faith by providing a liberal system of deferments for college men. Present prospects on draft quotas for the next few months, coupled with the draft-law provision allowing students to finish the school year in which they become of draft age, makes one year of college almost certain for all students who wish to go, and further deferments for sophomores and upper classmen makes likely completion of four years of college for students who have ability. Business has shown its faith by expanding job opportunities, the country is crying for college-trained personnel technicians, engineers, scientists, business executives, government executives, and teachers. The Community has shown its faith by wholehearted financial support of the new campus and its memorial gateway, and by making our adult education program one of the largest in the country in comparison to our community population. You must have faith in the future, too, by preparing to live in an environment increasingly technical, by preparing to contribute its share of research and new developments, by preparing to face a long period of armed tension, and by preparing to make wise decisions as voters and citizens. Mardi Gras Clears $218 for Student Fund The Mardi Gras proved to be one of the high lights of this year. It was a lot of fun for the Student Body and it brought in money for the Student Union fund. It was a gala evening of dancing with music by Jerry Layne's orchestra. An amusing floor show was given by Don Campbell and his son Steve. Eleven clubs proved their worth by furnishing the fun for I I Steve's Office Supply School Supply Headquarters 416 - 24th Street students with booths of skill and fortune. Along with the prizes that were won in playing the booths there were eight door prizes given away. The eleven booths pooled their profits together to make a total profit of $218.24 for the student fund. Whip club brought in the most money for any one club who gave out prizes, and Delta Phi got the honors for the booth who didn't give prizes. The Orpheum Lobby Shop Expresses their Best Wishes to the Graduates of '51 A Message From As a final tribute for the year Signpost brings you a message from your outgoing officers. Signpost would like to thank these officers on behalf of the studentbody that they led so well for the fine work that they have done in leading us in our activities this year. They've done a grand job and will long be remembered by us all. Don "Rip" Ripplinger President It is all over now but the goodbye handshakes and the best wishes. People of the community and of other schools often wonder what makes Weber such a friendly school and why we always seem to be happy. It isn't really a difficult question, Weber is small enough that getting acquainted with almost everyone is no problem at all. We all know President Dixon and his friendly, congenial personality that radiates throughout the entire studentbody. We can't help but catch some of that jovial spirit because we know he is interested in us. On the other hand Weber is large enough to supply and carry out a full, well-rounded out program in all departments. Very little is lacking in the way of an all-around education. It is an ideal place to begin a college career. We are not just names and numbers on a roll sheet, but are individuals seeking an education with instructors who have time to be interested in our individual needs and problems. ' I'd like to thank you all for the opportunity of serving " you during the past year. It has been a good year not because of any person or small group of persons; but because of the outstanding aid and the co-operation shown by every member of the studentbody. Not one person during the entire year has said no when asked to do a job large or small. As a group of officers we couldn't have asked for more. The school is as good as the students make it and this year you made it A-l. You sophomores, let's carry on the spirit of Weber to other schools and you freshmen, guide next year's new-comers in the Weber tradition. My sincerest thanks for all you have done. Support your new officer like you have supported us. Darlene Powell Vice President Having been served notice to clear my desk and vacate the Student Body by June 1st, I submit humbly to the new potentates. We leave Weber with cap and gown and diploma clutched in sweaty palm. But actually we possess more than this mere facade of knowledge. We have known great men and women who have made our lives better. There are memories of Mr. Perry's Christmas Oratorio, of the Snow Carnival, of the decorations falling on unspect-ing heads at L.D.'s dance. We remember field trips, but not the difference between igneus and meta-morphic rock, the gym steps, Dr. Young and Turtox quizzes. I was proud to serve as an officer of the Weber College Student Body this year. This college teaches high ideals. I want to be able to live up to these standards in my life away from Weber. SEE YA AT HOMECOMING!!!! Sen. Herbert R. O'Conor, of Md., in demand that U. S. stop shipments of scrap rubber to Communist China: "It seems perfectly evident that the Communists would not be bringing this rubber to China at great expense, unless they were finding good use for it." GLEN BROS MUSIC CO. ' "THE HOME OF EVERYTHING MUSICAL!" 2546 Washington Blvd. PHONE 4621 Three Big Stores: Ogden Salt Lake City Provo Outgoing Officers June Cliften Secretary As the year of 1950-51 draws to a close I find my mind crowded with memories of my two years at Weber College. Especially the past year as studentbody secretary has brought me so many memories I have really found happiness in working with and having fun with the Associated Students. I don't feel that I am really leaving Weber because of the many friends and wonderful times that I'll be taking with me. No school will ever be like Weber, and nothing will ever be quite like the two years I've spent here. Sophomores don't ever forget the fun we've had and the things that we've learned. Freshmen make your two years memorable ones, there will never be times like them again. Kay Shupe Treasurer "O' I'll be true to thee O' purple and white, And I will stand by thee in any fight." Upon graduating from Weber College, these stanzas from our school song express sincerely my feelings at this time. The traditions and standards which Weber maintains are such that any student can look back at their affiliation at Weber with pride. I know that through my associations here at school I have received guidance which equals that of any major university, and that I now have a foundation to continue to a higher institution. Being able to represent the Associated Students this past year has been an experience and an honor which I will always cherish. At this time I want to express my thanks to the Student Body for the cooperation and the support they have given us; which made possible a successful year. If in the future you continue your support as it has been this year, bigger and better years await Weber College. Glen Taylor Business Manager - First off I'd like to say "thanks a thousand" to every student of Weber College. It's been a privilege to serve you as Business Manager this past year. I hope that I've done as good a job as LaMoyne is going to do next year. I hope that school spirit and enthusiasm will build higher next year and continue to do so, because it is going to take all the spirit and fire that can be mustered to help President Dixon push the new campus over the top. Then Weber will move up a step to one of the outstanding four-year colleges of the country. Good luck to all the graduates and incoming Sophomores. Memorial Entrance Presentation Held Wednesday, Ogden's Rotary International sponsored the Weber College Memorial Entrance Presentation Dinner on the site of the new campus. Numerous guests attended the program, which included talks by Don Barney, Colonel Frank M. Browning, President H.

May Continue Fall Quarter By applying for graduate GI Bill training before they receive their degrees, VA added, they will be permitted to go ahead with their studies this Fall, even though the July 25 cut-off date for starting GI courses will have passed. The veterans also will be required to meet two further requirements in order to continue with their training after the cut-off date. They must start their additional training at the end of their summer vacation period. And the graduate course must be a normal progression of previous studies. VA said its ruling also will apply to veterans who finish undergraduate studies any time after the cutoff date, and wish to continue advanced studies at the endof the vacation period. Two Provisions The VA ruling is based on two provisions of the agency's basic regulations on the cut-off date. One provision is that a veteran must be in training on the cut-off date, except for reasons beyond his control such as summer vacations. The other provision states that a veteran may progress from a basic or preparatory phase to an advanced phase of the course, after the cut-off date. A veteran who completes undergraduate studies and applies in time for graduate work Is considered to have met both these provisions, VA said. The July 25 cut-off date applies to World War II veterans discharged before July '25, 1947. Those discharged after the 1947 date have four years from their discharge date in which to start GI Bill courses. Clinton D. Vernon. Carma Browning performed. The entire program was supplemented by selections from the band, Dorian Singers, and mixed choir. After the dinner a tour of the campus was made. WATSON - TANNER Clothing Co.
