Weber's oldest club celebrated a great silver anniversary with a tea for alumni and present members. Parties and parties were held with Fred Peabody and the Little Indian's Friend, the E Men. They're funnier than anybody. Congratulations to Sue Heiner and Julia Stettler, O.T.'s new freshman president and treasurer. All new members were made official papooses at a banquet Sunday.Plucky girl chicken plucker Gaye Deamer and boppy boy band-stander Rich Welker are busy making plans for O.T.'s and Excels' annual Christmas party. Both clubs are looking forward to a fabulous time. The Littlest Indian Girl Excels Parties With Campus Lassies "Squeezing in" two last-minute parties before "Dead Week", the E Men satisfied their social desires by dancing, dining, hay riding, scavenger hunting, and smootching last week with two of the lassie organizations on campus, Otyokwa and LaDianeda. With our sisters O. T., we had a successful hay ride at Ned Fav-ero's house. Excels presented the squaws with a cake at their acceptance banquet and O.T. showed their appreciation by affording the committee with 45 kisses each. The Swabbies were at hand for a rolicking scavenger hunt that di-ained citizens of bourbon bottles, false teeth, and patience last Thursday. Ending up at the Carpenters Hall, the group guzzled chili and danced to hi-fi. Con- grats L. D., you've got a great group. Excels wants to thank every one who supported the Malefic lest Saturday, and truly hopes that every one had a great time.

His qualifications are numerous. Unlike many Americans, he is not neurotic, psychotic nor a hypochondriac. He lives by the He never kicks about making that long trip every Christmas Eve, and his generosity knows no bounds. He is the champion of American kids, and is responsible for the creation of the first Marshal Plan. He is also the kindest American. He is the one guy in the world to day who can give a present to someone and not expect a more expensive one in return. Instead of making fun of midgets, he gives them work. He beat America's politicians to the punch by Idssing kids first. He is smart. He is the maker of toys and gadgets, and the first man to domesticate the reindeer. His reputation, unlike his nature, has been damaged, though. People look upon him as a symbol of the Department Store bargain. Thousands of his imposters ANYTHING GOES! Here's A Toast To The What Me.

Why the Caroling Party sponsored by the AWS and AMS of course! You know, the party that everyone in the whole school is Urged to attend. After the caroling which begins at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 22, do-nuts and hot chocolate will be served and dancing will follow in the Weber College Ballroom. Now don't think- that there's a need to take vocal lessons between now and then because if you can stand your singing, it's for sure we can. So mark Dec. 22 on your calendar and come on out for a real "snazzy" time! Recently, Excels and Otyokwa went on a hayride and was it cozy! Just enough room for everyone to put their hand on the straw as thev ran alone: beside the wagron. ! Some of the kids like Gordon Brown, Mike Scott, Lee Smith, Pat Howes, and Carol Murdock got their right leg on the wagon too. That's all right, you guys, just "hog" all the room! Barker's Bark John Hale, Brent Wood, Sylvia Curb, Leroy Yorgason, and Charles Powell recently entered the Bar ker Extemporaneous Speech Contest for the Frosh. The above mentioned freshmen, along with others, had thirty minutes to prepare a three to five minute speech. A subject was disclosed to them individually just before they could begin their preparation. "I never have any trouble talking when I'm i not supposed to, but now that I'm supposed to . . . blrp esc trkp," ' was a remark that was overheard by one of the other nervous contestants.

Hope Santa Claus is good to all you urchins and that you have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas! See you next quarter! mooch coins every year, creating the impression that he is a beggar.The true Santa isn't a flesh and blood person. He is an idea, which is supposed to melt the ice of the cold advertising and commercial world and bring out a special feeling in man. With all the chiseling, conniving cheapskates in the world today, this seems impossible. But Santa, as an idea, still lives on. And the merchants don't hurt him much, either. The difference between the real Santa and the Department Store Public Relations Santa is that the former tries to hold his friends by keeping them happy. The latter doesn't need friends as long as he keeps them spending. Another familiar Christmas figure is old Scrooge. I don't think he really . repented. In the first place, I think Marley's ghost was a hoax, and in the second place, Scrooge is not the type to be superstitious.Smart Scrooge! Scrooge, to me, is also an idea. He seems to be in a lot more places than Santa. He flashes from TV, sneaks into commercial Christmas cards, and stands behind the counters advertising bargains. "We can keep your old lady happier, cheaper," he grins from newspaper ads. "Save enough bread for yourselves, cats, at ourpre-Christ-mas sale" he beams from the No Mistletoe for Joe No Mistletoe for reckless Joe, Who didn't stop, but said "Let's Go!"

Scrooge, as far as I can see, is not a dirty old miser, as some people think, but a pretty darned shrewd businessman.Between Scrooge and Santa, I think Scrooge is winning out. Commercialism at Christmastime is here to stay. And it's pretty darned certain that some of Scrooge has rubbed off on YOU. Just don't kick out Santa all together, though. Why? Because I might make something on it. With this, I wish everyone a happy commercialized Christmas. What else can I do? For Sale Five formals . . . Size 12 worn once.
