Matinee Dance Held in Gy m Lobby By Oon DeWitt "May I have this dance?" "My turn!" "You can't get away that easy." "Cut!" Yes, the sounds of a dance. In the lobby of the gymnasium building, this sequel to the "Polygamists Prance" was staged on Friday. January 19. Instead of the usual Friday assembly, a dance, which developed into a girls'-choice started at 11 a. m. sharp and lasted until 1 p. m., when the dancers resumed a normal school attitude and filed back to classes. Who said the boys' "wont dance?" All a girl must do is step boldly up. tap a fellow on the shoulder blink her baby blues and coyly ask him to dance! or as some did, just walk up and fall into his arms. (What else could I do but dance with her). All students who managed to get on the floor enjoyed themselves immensely. The dance was a success and the students are asking for more of this fun, thanks to the efficient planning of Maurine.

Treasury Department Team Keeps Spirit Alive In Wartime By Lewis Weathers Basketball at Weber is now over, for those few people who knew we even had a team. Coach Reed Swenson and the boys should be congratulated for their efforts in keeping alive a tradition. A tradition to keep on fighting and never give up. Maybe the old gym wasn't filled with the cheering supporters of former years and years to come, but that didn't stop them. Neither were we in the "win" column all the time, but who cares. It's much easier to be a winner than a good loser and that's the real test. The team didn't add fame to our school or maybe add a new trophy to our case, but they fought just as hard. Coach Swenson, Chuck, Paul, Otto and the rest of the boys deserve a pat on the back.

At first, many suffered stiff necks, bruised shoulders, and aching muscles because they did not know how to land right when they dived over five kneeling men. Now, after many long and patient hours they can tumble, dive, balance, etc., without suffering too many ill effects. It had been reported that during the training period the following amusing incident occurred.The men's physical education class was learning the use of the springboard. One enthusiastic farmer lad, hardened by many hours on the farm, apparently doubted that the springboard could cast him very high. With a terrific lunge he planted both feet on the board and the immediate effect was ludicrous. With arms and legs flying wildly he flew through the air and landed on the mat with a "whumpff." Luckily there were no bones broken. He now knows how to use a springboard and does it beautifully. The corning assembly will indeed prove that the 4-F's and 17 year-olds can do something with their muscles. Lewis Tells of Ancient Audiences Vividly portraying the Elizabethan audienee ot a Shakespearean drama, B. Roland Lewis, professor of English of the University of Utah, addressed the student body and faculty Tuesday. Dr. Lewis pointed out that during the Elizabethan theatre period, lasting about 50 years, London was composed of principally three groups of people the nobility, the great middle class, and the rabble of the streets. He emphasized that it was not the riff raff (as is generally believed), that attended the theatre, but instead the great middle class "the back bone of the nation. Shakespeare Shakespeare wrote for one of the finest audiences possible he said. In an attempt to explain and interpret the radical criticism heaped upon the theatre, Dr. Lewis indicated that prior to the birth of the theatre, bear and bull baiting, bawdy houses and Sunday excursions to the insane asylum constituted an Eliza- Released by U.

They did however, achieve the coveted goal of visiting Mexico. The reason for this was not lack of spirit, because they would have made it had certaincircum-stances prevailed. The main reason is a sad story. Since the war started, it seems that draft dodgers have sought seclusion from their draft boards by going "south of the border." It is now necessary to obtain a release from the draft board to leave the country. Doug managed to "wangle" a release, but when Hatch approached his draft board with a similar purpose in mind, he was refused, for some reason or another, the necessary release.Our wandering Wildcats did get as far as Santa Ana, California, by the old 'thumb waving" method. The gypsy barons had a lot of fun, met a lot of people (hmmm) and ejoyed themselves very much. Jerhaps they will someday reach Mexico after the Russians reach Berlin and the Yanks reach Tokyo. bethian's recreation. Consequently the much cleaner theatre drew people from the other places of amusement, but, he stressed, "the theatres never attracted more than 13 per cent of the population although they were built to hold three times as many." Continuing, he stated that harsh judgment was heaped upon the theatre by the clergy and others whose business was affected, and that they hailed the theatre as being licentious and blasphemous. In fact theatre goers were virtually on the "primrose path to hell!" He denoted that Shakespeares' Romeo received profound criticism for calling Juliet an "angel." "Only an angel should be called an angel." they proclaimed, "certainly not a woman on a balcony at 2 a. m." During his lecture. Dr. Lewis colorfully depicted the customs and habits of the Elizabethians disclosing the infrequency with which they bathed and the earn est desire of the "mamas" to tell the world that their daughters were of marriagable age. "Shakespear's plays are moral. Anyone can read them for their ethical as well as aesthetic value. Shakespeare is one of the cleanest dramatists in history," he concluded.

Gossip Dangerous; Imperils War Effort With our nation at war, Idle gossip has become something more than one of the cardinal sins it comes dangerously close to the borderline of subversive activity. Propaganda chiefs of the enemy nations realize this quite well, and much of their efforts are directed toward the dissemination of unfounded rumors which tend to shake our faith in our war aims, final victory or the motives of our allies. "Gossip is a disease," according to an article by Michael Drury in. the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. "It is a disease that has become a national occupation, pervading almost every known activity from politics to - baby-minding and probably consumes more of our collective time annually than baseball or the movies."One searching look around I 1 HOME AT LAST!

Not only can gossip cause serious trouble for others but indulgence in it points up serious defects in your character to observant persons and cheats you out of your full measure of happiness in life, according to the writer, who states: "Criticism is nine-tenths gossip and vice versa. Criticism and gessip loudly proclaim our own lack of adventures. Gossip is always a confession of either malice or imbecility. There is no such thing as harmless gossip. It is an alarming fact that, we tend to become what we criticize in others. Gossip and criticism drain off more time than it is comfortable tocontemplate."
