Show October 14, 1960 SIGNPOST Page 3 Tomorrow For 'Washed' Cat Green Mint Bad! By Gordon Affleck Sigma should have their float built in ample time this year thanks to the good work of Shaw, Jensen, Minnoch and myself, ha! Thanks Excels, for recognizing Sigma above any others in your column last week. No doubt this is a sub-concious action since deep down you know you feel highly inferior to Sigma. About the competition for fall quarter, Mr. Connors, the reason we limited it to fall quarter was due to the fact that we feel that relative I.Q.'s must be at least as high as the grade point. Sigma's party for freshmen after the game Saturday night was a tremendous success. "Thanks to all members who helped in any ! - way. Thanks freshmen for your support. Sigma and O.

Congratulations to Phil Palmer who will preside as the new Inter-cub president this year. Congratulations also to Linda Grange, the new secretary. Delighted Sailor's Proclaim Royalty By Nancy Stanfield LaDianaeda is very proud of its Homecoming Royalties, Penny Christofferson and Linda Grange, and congratulations to Queen Kar-an Winterbottom. We've enjoyed supporting all the activities of Homecoming Week, especially the fun work on our Golden Riot.

Do you know that: Merrill Smith has an uncle that used to be a little girl. That Annette Beus has learned to say "Ola!" That it is better to thank last than not at all.

AfterVacationJt's Good To Be Back By Larry Peer After a week's absence from the club page, Sydney wants to wish the students at Weber College success during the year. And we want Excels to have a happy, happy year also. Officers serving this quarter are Jens Traeden, president; Larry Peer, vice-president; "Poise n" Paul Smith, secretary; Steve Hess treasurer and Jerrold Lundgreen, 3gt. of Arms. Also filling a pro-minant position is Clark Olson, party chairman. Last week our beoved treasures, Steve Hess, came up with a jeep with which the men of Phoenix gathered materials for float building. We have had a lot of help this year; the freshmen, the members, the highway patrol, and so forth. While talking to one of our illustrious alumni, I have become convinced of the glory in the work of these latter days accomplished by Phoenix. This illustrious alumnus re-called glorious times; the time we won water polo; the time our blackballed rushees formed Excelsior; the time our club president could ispeak English . . . . tears came to my eyes. Sniff well, back to the present. It seems that more students see the intramural slugfest, I mean "football" games, than see the varsity. Oh well, more blood. Green blood. Enough. Next week more happenings from the land of milk and henies. Sydney Gynt n One More Week. . Diamond - Queen By Linda Monk Bon jour! II fait beau, n'est-ce pas? After swimming to our classes and chacking the ice off after we got there, we are begining to wonder if good old Weber didn't get misplaced in Alaska during last week-end. But, however damp and cold the weather may be the spirits of Sharmea are high and dry. Welcome to the visiting alumni. All week has been loaded with activities for them and their part ners. We hope to see everyone at Weber supporting the week-end activities which will climax the week. own Karen Winterbottem who was Reigning over this week is our announced homecoming queen at the sophomore dance last week. Congratulations also go to Linda Grange and Penny Christofferson who were her attendants. We have been working hard on parade tomorrow. Everyone has contributed something to our creation. Kaye McGary even donated some blood. Now our original float decorations are looking splendid, and we can hardly wait Team Loyalify Low; See Komeconraing Gcsme Sm 'f Miss Sommers By Carolyn Sommers , Although last Friday night's rain had no bad' effect on the ;eam or the outcome of the game it left a pretty washed out cheer '.ng section, and really proved who has a little school loyalty. It seems it's about time we all get some of the wildcat spirit and revert to the ancient practice of having a good time. You'd be surprised how much fun you can have sitting in the rain. Right, Sigma? Let's show the team some spirit at the homecoming game .omorrow night! The Squaws have spent this ween nail hammering and napkin-stuffing getting our float ready for tommorrow's parade. Although a certain men's club had it's doubts most of us knew which end of the nail to hit and we pulled through O.K. Incidentally, if you've never seen Joan McFarland swing a real blow, you haven't lived. We've elected several girls to represent O.T. in the various school .organizations. Bonnie Bates is our Inter-Club representative, Diane Williams and Shari Bunot will represent us in A.W.S., Eloise McQucwn is W.I.A. representative and Evalyn Hobbs is ou team manager. We pledge our support as a club to these organizations.Congratulations today to Judy Cavalli who has a diamond as of last week, and JoAnn Holmes who became engaged this summer. It's about my turn to offer a thought, so here you have it: "Love your enemy . . . it'll drive him crazy." (It might not work but it'll make you feel better.) to exhibit the product .of our weeks' work. For Ruth Carlson, the work on the float has been trivial. She has been sitting on cloud nine this week after she received a diamond last week-end. Judy Davidson is now chief nut of the Acorn staff. She was sel-cted yearbook editor last week and is now workinw hard to produce the best yearbook, yet. .In our last meetings, we elected Nancy Taylor to the W.I.A. council, Sherma Topping, representative to A.W.S., and Louise Carver as representative to Inter-Club. We are glad to have Frances Carr, our society editor, with us again after her short stay in the hospital last week. She's a typical Sharmea girl, they just don't keep her down. There should be no one down at the bottom of the hill during the "Flaming W" hike. If it burns as scheduled, we'll see you all at the top. The "Frenchies" People I Met At The Elbo Ranch by Frances Carr Signpost Society EdStor The Elbo is a small dude rannch 17 miles north of the town of Jock-son, Wyoming. Katie Starratt, the boss, gave me a job cleaning cabins after I'd spent a carefree week on the road with two good friends and six cents in my pocket. Katie liked to keep the accomodations down so she didn't need much help. She'd already hired the cook, Peve; the Wrangler, Charlie, his wike, Hickey; and the chore boy, Chris who was from Ney York. Chris was tall and lean and looked mighty funny bending over a three foot deep sink of suds and dishes. He had a booming voice and a knack for making up verses. We all laughed about his big feet. Once Charlie said "I bet that boy has to back up to knock at the door." He didn't but he sure did have a rough time taking off his boots. The back of my white apron carried the mark of his boots for two weeks where he braced himself, '.hen shoved to remove them. His big feet didn't bother him on the trail though. He was mighty uncomfortable on a horse but he took me over parts of the valley on foot I never would have ventured ilone. Lots of lazy afternoons we would ramble up Ditch Creek scavenger-ing odd chunks of drift wood and discarded beaver teeth. The cook Peve( was to be prized and cherished above any cook in the entire valley. More than once when I didn't peel the potatoes fast enough I'd feel a swift kick. "Got a trick leg . . . "she'd say. "Does that every once in a while." She kept the left overs of her before dinner cocktails in seper-ate glasses in the refrigerator. Once Katie was cleaning things up with a paper towel and happened on to them. And Charlie was always full of surprises. New comers would form an undying love for horses after a days riding failure caused Charlie to threaten to tie the dudes legs around a barrel. He had little enterprise on the side but I don't think it paid off very often. He offered to find husbands, for all the single dudeens. Matter of fact he almost rounded me up a husband for $200.00. August was the best month of all because it was perfect weather for hiking. Phil was with us then and boy, could he cover ground. Once on our way up Paint Brush Canyon Phil and I took off with over half the lunch for the twelve hikers. We made it to Lake Solitude eight miles away and sat down to wait. The others never did come and it's a good thing. We had eaten all of the lunch. |
