Show The Weber H erald Published By The Associated Students Of Weber College Vol. 1 FEBRUARY 20, 1934 No. 8 MUSICAL COMEDY A mu:i il comedy, made up of the finest talent in the school, and planned as the biggest musical pvent of the school year, is occupying the attention ?.nd effort of ihe entire music de-partmea'.. The music is written by Roland Parry and the di-logue by Mr. Allred. Clark Vhite, Gilbert Tolhurst, Margaret Betts, IIV.;ri Sessions, and Mary Walker have been chosen for leading parts. Two other leads, one a negro rh ricter and a trio, will be aelected later. The men's chorus and girl's chorus will take an active part in the production. Abou'. fifteen or twenty presentations in Og-d en halls and high schools of northern Utah are planned, the first one to come in about three weeks. The play will consist of three acts, the time about an hour and a quarter. The scene is a rendezvous spot situated where the campuses of a boys' military academy and a girls' school join. The possibilities of such a scene are clear. RESCUER An emergency call roused Ralph Clark from deep slumber last Tuesday at midnight. An excited voice told him to leave immediately for Oregon on a debating trip. And so in the small hours of Wednesday morning Mr. Clark sped over the wastelands of Box Elder county to the rescue of the debaters traveling with Curt Bybee, whose car burned a bearing near Snowville. The other debaters in ij; McMinnville tournament are Elma Skelton, Barbara Lindquist, Bill Homer, William J. Beus, Bill Alsup, Winston Langlois, Dee Bramwell, George Thatcher, and Ed Olson. Each debater is paying his own traveling expenses. They will return late this week. NEW GYM MEMBERSHIPS Ten new members have signed up for swimming and gymnasium work as a result of the free classes sponsored by the women's department of the Weber gym last week for all Ogden women and girls. One hundred and fifty-seven participants and spectators took advantage of the classes offered during that time. According to Mrs. Lucille Clark girls' athletic instructor, the week's program acquainted a larger number of women with our gymnasium facilities and will increase the patronage of non-members. o HALO CLUB Fifteen charter members of the international relations club chosen by the officers, Ed Olson, Curt Bybee, Lawrence Somerville, will meet tomorrow as a constitutional convention. Bill Alsup tells us that "If you want a thing to succeed, put a halo around it." "Those comprising the club have been selected because it is believed they will look more fitting in haloes," Secretary Somerville announces. OVER THE HICCUPS With Abigail "'Tis spring, 'tis spring," sang Russel Farr, Hey, come and watch this Beth." He dived into the icy pool And froze himself to death. And then there is George Thatcher, who remarks to Gealta at a basketball game, "Shay, was that basket made during the firsht or schecond quart?" Some doubting soul, with no faith in the all-seeing, far-reaching, never-fai 1 ing eye of Abigail (we could add more)sends in an epistle which demands Abigail's retirement from the press if she cannot answer the following questions. And so Abigail, always equal to the occasion (ahem!)in-cludes the answers. Q. "Who among our beloved, illustrious, and altogether human faculty also portray, with the advent of spring, the roles of Romeo and Juliet?" A. None other than Mr. Leland H. Monson and the wife of Clark Gable athletic director, Mr. Belliston. Q. "Who knows how to count bottles (you know what kind), and who sings little ditties about them?" A. Mr, Benson does. You can't alway be a strong, silent man. Q. "What feminine stage aspirant did a high dive, and into whose waiting arms did she jump?" A. Miss Denning did the high dive, and into the waiting arms of that distinguished Botany teacher, Mr, Croft. That concludes the question and answer department for today, but it isn't just like it sounds. It seems that even the faculty occas-sionally throws a brawl--pardon me--party. And so we'll conclude with this little bit of philosophy. No matter what you do somebody always knew you would. |
