A midnight shov to present the football sweetheart will again be sponsored by the club. The assembly and Barn Dance Skulls presented last year was well received, and they plan to make this dance traditional.

Secretary Doesn't Wait To Marry the Boss Student executives were left flat without a secretary when pretty Ruth Carver went to the altar late in June with Kenneth DeVries, basketball sensation of last season.How long had they been engaged? Oh, about a week, according to Elizabeth Blair, Ruth's also pretty friend. Well, since they met at Weber, it just goes to show that you never know just when an education is going to be of some use. Anyway it was no mistake this time. Many a girl hereabouts had watched DeVries streak down the length of the ball floor and wondered just how she could trip him up. Then there it was: done in less than a week and a half dozen girls remembered talking with him not more than twenty minutes before. The vows were taken in the Salt Lake temple. Afterwards a reception was held in the Plain City amusement hall. The bride comes from Plain City and the groom from Marriott. For the time being they are living at Marriott. During her freshman year, the bride was football queen, freshman representative on Associated Women Students, and member of Whip and La Dianaeda clubs.

Crystal Springs Is Scene of Phoenix Social Phoenix club began its social calendar with a swim and barbe-que rush party at Crystal Springs Sunday afternoon, August 24. Alumni, rushees, members and partners all enjoyed the party, which was the club's third summer social function, according to the club president, Daniel Drumiler. Drumiler announced that regular Wednesday night meetings are being held and that a full schedule of activities for the year has been adopted. "Though termed a social club, we believe that social activity is just a part of Phoenix's purpose. Scholarship and participation in school activities are also fundamental ideals of our club," stated Drumiler, Another rush party, intramural participation, assembly program and the annual Christmas Snowball dance are a few of the functions now being planned by the club. Founded in 1935 when school spirit was quite low, the organization took the name Phoenix, which was the name of a legendary bird. According to the legend, this bird ended its life at intervals only to rise out of its own ashes revitalized.Dr. Dean Anderson, who will teach at the Brigham Young university this year, has been the club adviser since its beginning. As yet a successor to Dr. Anderson has not been Installed. Olsen; Elizabeth Blair, Jay Wight; Don Freeman, Gloria Hall; Sue Boyle, Gerald Stephensen, freshman. Deserts . . RUTH CARVER Band Man Sees Rich Schedule Ahead for Music "The band will accompany the team on trips this yea rto give added enthusiasm to students attending the out of town games," Mr. Clair W. Johnson, director of band and orchestra, announced in a recent interview. The music department of Weber is anticipating an even busier year than that of last year. Both the band and the orchestra are scheduled to give numerous concerts in future months. Because of the success of the opera "Faust" last year, Mr. John-son( announced that another similar production will be produced during the winter quarter. As something new and slightly different, stress will be laid on ensembles, small musical groups which will perform frequently. "Harmony is one of the more popular courses offered by this department," said Mr. Johnson. Three quarters of it will be taught to students of ability and training. The composing of music will be taught to aid some talented per- I sons in setting down their original works. Solfeggio, history of music, appreciation, glee club, band, orchestra, male chorus, and instrumental combinations are among the ether courses for the education of Weber musicians. Programs will be presented for the town people who ve whole-hearted support to such oductions.

A total of 47 engagements was filled. "Ensemble work with the piano and organ will also be practiced," announced Mr. Anderson, "and we are planning an evening of this type of musical entertainment to be held during the first quarter. The general public will be invited to this free program." Besides this evening of music, some outstanding musical production will be given each quarter.

However, he said that plans for the initial party, which will be held shortly after school starts, have already been made. It is to be an overnight stag party (immensely popular with the current members) at which the members hope to get better acquainted with the rushees. Since 1931, the purpose of Excelsior, he explained, the oldest social club at Weber, has been to promote the raising of college ideals. It seeks to achieve this goal by cooperating with the school in putting on such fine social programs that students will not be tempted from the "straight and narrow." Besides giving 100 per cent support to all school activities, Saint Valentine's day Excelsior takes matters into its own hands and sponsors the lavish Sweetheart Ball. The Excelsior Sweetheart, who is presented each year at the ball, is picked by some top ranking movie star. In recent years Tyrone Power and Jimmie Stewart have done the choosing. The members of Excelsior have already started to work on the 1942 Sweetheart Ball, which promises to be the finest one yet presented, Bischoff said. Excelsior Club summer activities have consisted mainly of weekly meetings, overnight stag parties, numerous long drawn out "bull sessions," and informal date parties. Through the summer the roll book carried a list of 22 active members, all, oddly enough, eligible for the fall quarter. With such a large active group, the club should have a good chance to regain the coveted intramural championship which it lost last year to the faculty. One of Excelsior's aims this year is to win back the trophy which it held in 194-. With club managers already selected Excelsior is ready to step right into the intramural contests on an extremely active basis, according to the president.
