Wonder how Rosemary got along with 'When I kiss 'em they stay kissed" Foulger. What is there about that debonair Mark Austad that just fascinates the little Weber coeds? Helen Fuler has a one-track mind and Blair's on that track. Blaine Felt's holding out on us He dated Beverly Peterson last Saturday (have you forgotten about Calif., Beverly?) What's Jimmy Lindsay got that Larkin hasn't Oh they're both cute but Kay Farr? Jimmy Maher comes home every weekend to see his "little woman." Now of all things Clara . Miller and Val Scoville, Kay Blaes and Mark Austad, Ida Smith and Ollie Zundell at the Viking dance, and yes sir Izzy wasn't even there. Val Goddard still seems to have that old feeling for Peggy Felested (the girl from Berkeley.) Could it be an old romance is coming to life again yes I'm referring to Vern "Honk" Hadlock and Verna Lindsay. "Mic" McCune's got double trouble and both of them Brigham boys. She's afraid they'll get together and swap yarns. Shakespeare is not the only one who created a Romeo. No sir. The boiler room made a Romeo out of Lewis Briggs. Darrell Deis and Rosella Larkin are getting an advance staff on spring. They believe in nice chummy winter romances. Scoop! Margaret Tarran got a diamond for Christmas from her mother. Dr. Dixon got so excited when the basketball boys walked off with the Rexburg game last Saturday that he dashed into the showers hat and all to congratulate them. Isabell Read has that look in her eye now that Charles Letz has relinquished the road gang to pursue the finer arts or something. We hear Ida and Ollie are not hitting it off so well. Fact Is Ollie has said in an official press statement that he was about ready for a divorce. Charlene Clark left off man hating long enough to go out with Sterling Fuller last week. Now why won't Larkin Patterson and Nick Sweeney give college girls a break. Both of them took high school lasses to the Viking dance. We wonder if Santa Claus forgot Le Moyne Peterson or just what has subdued him (a little-very little) since the New Year. Could there be a girl in the case? Gordon Huggins must really be in love. Yes sir he's so absent minded that he forgot to turn off the sun lamp Nearly burned himself to death Who is it Ethel Hogge, Camille Larson, or Betty Smalley? Wayne Boyle trains his women well. Burma Heap trails him to the library now. In the holding hands stage are Marcelle Simpson and Bruce Baird. Gosh! You'd think some of them would wait 'til spring.

Phoenix Initiates Eleven Pledges Phoenix frivilous initiation was executed on Thursday, January 11. It was carried out in the driving rain on Washington Blvd. and in the confinement of the Moench Building. All pledges and members met at Dr. Anderson's room and from there the pledges were lock-stepped to Washington Blvd. where they proceeded to deliver a variety of stirring orations to the astonished but much interested passer-bys. After an hour of misery and embarrassment the pledges were lock-stepped up the hill to the seclusion of the Moench Building, where the balance of their initiation was conducted. After the initiation a buffet luncheon, which was so graciously provided by the much subdued pledges was served. Those in attendance were the members: Fred Foulger, Louis Briggs, Eugene Brough, Sylven Godfrey, Rolfe Peterson, Taylor Becraft, Dan Curtis, Frank Lindberg, Bob Pell, Charles Pell, Harold Benson, Ronald Smith, Dean Moran, Herbert Smith. Pledges: Larry Garr, Deith Wilcox, Grant, Neuteboom, Earl Tanner, Blair Evans, Don Buswell, Franklin Mann, Clair Whitely, James Lindsay, Ross Ekins, and Winslow Gardner. A.W.S. Designates Week of Charm "After 'Hell Week,' we need a Charm week," said Shirley Poul-ton, President of the Associated Women Students; "sothe week of February 26 to March 1 has been set aside by A. W. S. as the annual Charm Week and will be climaxed by a girls' dance Thursday, February 26." The Women's Association believes that every girl in Weber college wants to learn how to become more charming, and it is the aim of the association to aid Weber girls to acquire this desired charm.

Date Early lor Weber Co-eds Co-Ed Counsellors Greet New Arrivals This Quater Every girl who just enrolled at Weber college winter quarter is being cordially and sincerely welcomed by the Coed Counsellors. The Coed Counsellors are an organization of forty sophomore girls whose purpose it is to help the freshmen girls become better acquainted with college life. Each counsellor has about six freshmen girls under her whom she helps directly with any problems that they might have. In order to help the girls become better acqnainted with one another, the counsellors are going to entertain their "little sisters" at special parties which will be held for them soon. At the special assembly held Tuesday, January 16, the Coed Counsellors presented a skit to In Resourcefulness, courage, sincerity, and individuality were only a few of the qualities Excelsior gained when they pledged Richard Jackson. Although Excelsior claims they just got a "swell fellow" there must have been something else, since we know a lot of "swell fellows" and so does Excelsior. Anyway we think it was an inspiration, and we wish to offer them both congratulations. Hollywood cries for new faces, new personalities, and Weber gets them. True the new year brings resolutions, ice and snow, and heavy hang overs; but besides these and much more important, it has brought new students to Weber. Each quarter the college enrollment zooms a little higher. Why, before long the "U", "A.C.", and "B.Y.U." are going to be spluttering in our dust. Yes sir, Weber college is going to lead all Utah colleges in enrollment, spirit, brains, and beauty. Of course, all we lack now is enrollment, and at the rate we're going it won't be long now. Welcome all you new students! Excelsior Dates Sweetheart Dance The night of February 16, 1940, has been selected by Excelsior club for presentation of their annual Sweetheart Dance. Following the usual Valentine theme, the club will nominate seven candidates for the honor of Sweetheart of Excelsior. Pictures of the coed candidates will be forwarded to a Hollywood celebrity for final selection. Committees on publicity, decorations, programs, and arrangements, have been chosen. Chanodo Sponsors Invitational Dance Chanado will sponsor an individual semi-formal dance, the Robin Hood Rendezvous, on Saturday, January 27, in the Weber College Ballroom. A glamorous and sophisticated night club theme will make this dance distinctive from any former dance at Weber. SWEETHEART DANCE j troduce the Coed Counsellors to all the girls, and to welcome the new girls who just enrolled this quarter. Those in charge of the skit were: Betty Turnbull, chairman; Thekla Holmes, and Margaret Smith. The Coed Counsellors are: Carol Smith, Edith Anderson, Ann Dan-vers, Beryl Dickens, Isalbell Edwards, Doraine Herbert, Rama Eyre, Shirley Critchlow, Marge Garner, Janet Hilton, Jeanne Johnson, Donna Jenkins, Elizabeth Jones, Lottie Lund, Florence Main, Clara Miller, Shirley Poulton, Barbara Reeves, Margaret Smith, Kay Storey, Margaret Tarran, Ruth Tolhurst, Merle Sackett, Lorraine Baird, June Tracy, Ruth Jacobs, Isabel Read, and Betty Mae Nelson.7me JiU (Continued from Page 1) Knapp keeps a continuous stream of music pouring out of the loudspeaker. She does this with the use of two phonographs. By changing records on one while the other is playing and, skillfully blending the first record Into the second, she makes the break scarcely noticeable.Lured by the thought of peaceful living on a South Sea Island, Mrs. Knapp and her lecturer husband left their California home and set sail for Tahiti. That was nine years ago. At that time, Mr. Knapp was just Mr. Average Successful Business Man, a little tirer of a humdrum routine and yearning for something new. This is the story I learned from the charming Mrs. Gertrude Knapp. After the lyceum program Wednesday night, I attempted to interview Mr. Knapp. However, at the moment he was occupied in a discussion (probably concerning a geology subject) with Mr. Walter Buss (A No. 1 geology man). So I gladly accepted the opportunity to talk with Mrs. Knapp, a much more interesting person. Hobby Becomes Profitable.

The traditional ceremony including individual pledge was conducted in the semi-illuminated Hostess room of the Ben Lomond Hotel. Following the ceremony a banquet was served in the English room. The table decorations were talisman rose corsages for the new members and a large bowl of pastel sweetpeas. Tiny silver moons, guarded by a dainty Diana indicated the places. The new members include Ellen Hadfield, Gladys Johnson, Virginia Moore, Hellen Tillotson, Marjorie Anderson, Margaret Todd, Lau Rene Thompson, Ruth Taylor, Ar-delle Russell, Beverly Peterson, June Wayment, Norene Call, and Virginia Allen.

Take one bottle of Dr. Spring-up's hair tonic and rub gently, but firmly, on the slicker, say for about thirty-one minutes. And there you will have your racoon coat, (we hope). Fortune Telling Lest we forget how many of you eager readers of this column are interested in cards? All of you are, no doubt. Thus, each of you will grab up this timely information with zest. In case we forgot to tell you what we are doing, we shall do so now. We are telling your fortune. Your first card tells us that you have a good line (from gab to fishing tackle). There are two breaks in the health line which probably means you are double jointed somewhere. Your love line is missing, but don't worry, maybe after all you aren't missing anything. The life line is weak, but never fear, you can learn to swim. Your clothes line is empty hold tight or you might lose your shirt. There's your fortune but fate has dealt you a raw deal for what you really do need are four aces. How many of your last quarter's marks were under water that is below c level? If so here's a bit of philosophy, psychology and horse ling dark eyes. She is a small woman, about five feet two inches tall. She has two hobbies: one, which she shares with her husband, photography, and another, the job of keeping a scrapbook. Her home was in the town of Bolinas, near San Francisco. The Knapps still call call Bolinas home although they seldom can be found there. Poor Pledge Bemoans Hls Sad Fate I was ready to go to school. But did I have the courage and stamina to step outside the door and present myself to the world? I gulped hard and gave myself a pep talk about being brave and grasped the door knob. I turned slightly and felt the door open. Hesitantly, yes, very hesitantly, I stepped outside the back door and headed for the alley at this early hour. But as I reached the street I had to give myself another pick-me-up in the form of a poem about carry on or some such rot. I tried to act natural, but when a Negro lady decided to follow me, that was too much. In my desperation I broke into a run that ended only when I was safely inside a building. But horrors, I was greeted with remarks and jeers that far surpassed the Negro lady's curiosity. I nonchalantly walked to my first class, but as I reached the door, I lunged forward and dropped gratefully into, my seat. Why couldn't this class last forever? But no, after 60 too short minutes, the bell rang and sent me out into that big hall of titters and laughs. I crossed the campus curs ing the day some bright member had the brilliant inspiration to send me to school dressed like a first class fool. I looked up and saw coming toward me, no it couldn't be but it was the fellow I thought was perfect. That is, I thought he was until I saw how he looked in tight fitting red flannels. For little did I dream that his legs weren't the right shape, nor that his knees had a habit of bumping when he walked. As he approached, oh, how I longed to hide my in-finitesemal frame in a hole. Being a humble pledge, I could only nod my head as I scurried past him like a scared rabbit and, then, I fled to my next class. How I managed to get through the day Is still a mystery to me, and how I managed to keep myself from wiping that smug superior look from my comrades faces Is a greater mystery. But heigh ho it's over now and that week of hell has been added to my diary of personal achievements. Unomymous. Chanodo Pledges Have Queen Roles All last week the pledges of Chanodo donned various types of attire and performed for the members. Their outfits ranged from impersonations of little boys to gawdy girls, slightly on the excessive side in the line of make-up and adornment. In this ultra stage of perfection they took advantage of Leap Year and did their "proposing" early. Of course, whether or not the lucky fellows were in the marrying mood remains to be seen. Then as a fair warning ahead of time, one day the pledges wore their oldest frocks and really "let their hair down." Without the aid of any paint box beauty, these girls, taking the attitude of "don't say I didn't warn you" devoted that day to looking their absolute worst. The climax came Saturday night when these pledges engaged in a frivolous initiation which took them rtn an pvtpnsive tour of the citv. after which they served the members a hot supper at the home of Miss Beryl Dickens. Those present were; Elaine Froerer, Catherine I'arr, Druce Foutz, Betsy Service, Marion Toone, Dorothy Chatland, Margaret Feeny, Jeanne Johnson, Maxine Whitmey-er, Helen Reberg, Athlene Cordon, Ruth Cunningham, Heleen Robinson, Alice Kapple, Barbara Har-bartson, Margaret Bachman, Beth Ipson, Barbara Minter.

The Ski Ball was a hilarious success. Seaman Mills acted as general chairman with Ben Fowler assisting with decorations. A touch of originality was added as six beautiful Weber coeds modeled snow outfits, furnished through the courtesy of downtown stores, and described by Shirley Critchlow, petite commentator. Rama Eyre modeled a snow suit of contrasting colors and a sport suit of red plaid jacket and plain sport skirt Janet Hilton was charming in a two tone snow suit and also & slack suit. Marge Tanner added color with a complete white snow suit. A traveling sport suit and a ski suit were modeled by Arzella Dye. Kay Storey was exquisite in a two-toned blue snow suit. Lenny Wright furnished the music for over two hundred couples. Officers of the club are: presi dent. Grant Reese: vice president, Hal Morris; secretary, Chall All-red.Papooses Give Otyokwans Dinner The squaws of Otyokwa were entertained by their papooses at a dinner party December 28, at the Knob Hill Tea Room. Gifts were distributed by a little girl who represented "little new year, 1940." Little individual calendars marked each place and tiny green candles were used as favors. A green teepee and sprigs of pine formed the center piece. Guests attending were: Edna Loughran. Kay Blaes, Betty Mae Nelson, June Tracy, Anne Danvers, Lorraine Baird, Bette Herrlngton, Doraine Herbert, Clara Miller, Ruth Tolhurst, Barbara Reeve, Kay Storey, Shirley Critchlow, Barbara Earls, Isabelle Edwards, Vivian Polidor, Merle Sackett, and Ida Smith. hi Hostesses were: Clare Gilman, Neva Huggins, Merle Woods, Betty Smalley, Emma Jean Hinley, Betty Lou Balch, Shirlie Scoville, Louise Dixon, Rosella Larkin, Donna Marie Curran, Ethel Hogge, Mary Allen, Ruth Shurtliff, Mary Heiner, Emma Martin, Athleen Woods, Helen Fuller, Mary Lou Madsen, Ruth Packer, Valeen Wright and Carolyn Smith. Instructor Returns From Trip East (Continued from Page 1) ing of ammunitions were also studied."A great deal of the ammunition that has become dangerous because of deterioration is either burned or bought up by du Pont for use in making of paints," he stated. Captain Nielsen was inclined to be a trifle hesitant when asked to enumerate the sources of amusement -but did say that "the Signpost wouldn't be interested in all our parties." Probably the most interesting place that was visited by Captain Nielsen, from the standpoint of the layman, was the Wright Aeronautical Corporation. Other places visited included the Hercules Powder Company, and all the arsenals on the east coast Sharrett; and Treasurer, Betty Blair. hi Of greatest Importance is the prospective plan of becoming an affiliated member of the state and national home economics association. Other plans for the quarter include the annual banquet for the alumni and members which will be held in the near future, and the monthly night meetings which will be turned into old fashion sewing bees and oandy pulls.
