Virtue was satisfied by attendance of the one o'clock classes, after which the students, accompanied by many professors, embarked in busses and private cars for the hills. Skiing conditions were found to be good, if a bit icy, and no serious injuries were reported, in spite of the alarming tendency of beginners to come downhill head first. Dean Hurst and Harold Tippets thrilled feminine spectators with their dare-devil exploit;;, and the sight of Marilyn Farr and Helen James swooping graacefully over the snow drew sighs of envy from their less talented companions. Many determined Weberites devoted their afternoon in making "sitz-marks" on the hill, a fact not calculated to endear them to Mr. Page of the forestry service. Beginners Class Expert instruction was given to beginners during the course of the afternoon in the fine art of skiing. The instructor acclaimed Weber college students the most apt group he has taught in grasping the art of the schoose, christi, right christi, and snow plow. Those without skis got a thrill from tobagganing, a sport of which Dr. Dixon is especially fond. The Snow Carnival is an annual event of Weber college, and this year's successful party was attributed to the efforts of A. M. S. officers. Lawrence Burton, one of the school's most accomplished skiers, worked out transportation problems for the group, and Richard Hatch, head of the food committee, vigorously defended provisions all afternoon against would-be "snackers." Celebrants straggled home in groups as evening fell, almost too tired to sing, but convinced that college can be fun even if there is a war on. BYU Artists To Present Symphony Added to the regular Community concert program as an unscheduled attraction will be the appearance of the B. Y. U. symphony orchestra in the Og-den high school auditorium Monday evening. February 19, at S o'clock. The orchestra consists ofseventy-five members, with Mrs. Frederick Champ as concert pianist. Bearers of the regular Community concert tickets will be admitted to this extra feature. Meteorology Class In High Demand One of the most popular classes at Weber college this quarter is Mr. Osmond's meteorology class. There are some forty students in this class. This was also a popular class before the war and up until the Naval cadet program was introduced and accepted by the school. During this time it was taught only to the cadets. When the government built schools of their own and the cadet program was taken from Weber college, the meteorology class was again available to students. Mr. Osmond states that the class would be taught again next quarter and the registrar warns students to register early if they want the class because it promises to continue itspopularity.
