With original costuming and dancing the Tiki 'il ls presented a light hour of edtime .".lories broken only by altgHs, applause, and curtain .idling. Led by the slightly blaring iconicd voice cf a narrator, .e -.lory of Peter and The Wolf refolded in a version of modern -nee, comedy and pantomine. When red-clad hunters with a rhythmic gail stalked through e cardbonrdfcresl to remove the captured wolf,assembly-goers felt a tinge of relief to see he joyous procession move off tag to conclude the slightly juvenile first act. Art Hvt jr6vcct to be "2 much" more wolves, more dancing, more fun! A modern Hollwoorl ;nU Vine wolf, Marilyn Taylor, tpboarcd in a 14 cylinder Lim- Dusine which convently folded irto "three sections after a cheery 'ittle group of ten night club-')cr:; had alighted from its mysterious depths. Sir M. T. Wolf tried winning winks and shouts on Miss Hood, an entertainer iviih a red satin cape and a canned routine, at the nightspot only to be lured to grandma's apartment. Margaret Binnie complete with an accentuated ositive and thick make-up and a completely over-wolfing personality sent friend woif scurrying for the safety of the night club where she daintily shoots herself with a bunglesome .22 calibre rifle when the same sing-er'with the same dance and the same cape presents herself to the same wolf and the same people at the same place. Howls and whistles for Tiki iris who have presented a de-Hgjtful hour of bedtime stomes 'or children. (What does that nake us?) LaDianaeda's "Ye Olde Mu-ic Shcppe," was a pleasant ren-lezvous for an assembly horn-on March 30. With much af the musical talent of the school combined in enticing porpor-'ions, the altogether fine and amusing type of entertainment presented was no surprise. Efficient clerk, Norma New-comb, sold us all a variety of collections ranging from "Candy" by a sweet trio to jokes concerning a woman's glamor attire. Complete with an "Ink Spot," possessing a lily white neck and a voice strangely like that of Norma Cross, the minstrel show caught us up in heights of music and depths of jokes. Little blonde Johnny Shaw, a favorite grandson of our own President Dixon, stole the show with his solo "My Blue Heaven" while being coached and prompted along by motherly Mrs. Dorothy Putnam. A dash of Johnson's Baby Powder, a Wagnerian strain, & bit of corny lyrics and a rank rendition of "Suzanna's a Funny Old Man;" by Katy and Betty Bonita gave a large splash of the style of humor a college audience demands. Slightly har ried and breathless Easter pa-raders (one in an ultra shoeless creation), came dangerously close to putting a damper on the merriment, but all was rescued by the fitting finale sung by the entire club in the Easter setting. A whole-hearted "bravo" goes lo the Goddesses. The new campus talent of the Kalamatans made a cheery showing in the "Crown Room" on March 8. Many of I lie eligible Weber males "were drafted for the gala night club performance and Marlett Carl Rob-bins proved to be a rather worried prompter in the Harold Tip-petts and Lauren Dalene Baldwin Becall affair. Fern Ish Kabible Wheelright waxed eloquent before final curtain and country talent was displayed when the city slickers slipped in past the doorman. Taking the spotlight was Miss Cloe Gale who shivered her cellophane shimmie to the strains of Hawaiian War Chant. Slipping shoulder straps of the talented pianist added a dash of excitement to already attractive entertainment. With a decidedly "non-New Vorkish" manner, Marie Davis trumpeted her way to stardom with her hilarious version of a one man bartd and a new girls' trio slid once around the pitch to leave Weberites delighted with the efforts ahd talents of the new girls' social unit, Kala-mata. Bouquets and best wishes fcr the "Queens of Friends." Unfortunately following closely upon the death of the president, Iota Tau Kappa girls rallied in spite of the difficulties and presented their masquerade frolic. Taken from the song. "The Waiter and ine Forter and the Upstairs Maid," the entire musical plct rolled from one rong to Ihe next linked together by childish rhymes recited by the three servants. A comedy number "By ilic Sea," done by Melba Barker and Luana Collins clad in old-fashioned bat.'::ng garb, iiroug.i! hqwls of laughter and rounds cf applause. Long after curtain time the Ellen Dame song 'Wallflower," sung again and again by Wcbcritcs who have picked up the comical lyrics. Sweet - voiced Lucile London drew a dud in hers on "Dirty ; Face" as she dragged the tempo j and a lagging accompanist . along. j "Cwazy Wabbits," had their day and an Irish song slid into la frightened murmur during as sembly hour that day. However, a jivey hostess in an Alice blue gown came to the rescue and sent us on our way applauding the good sports for their performance on a difficult day. 1 Three cheers for Iota Tau Kappa girls who came through. A determined and gregarious group of Wildcats provided corn for Ihe collegiates and fun for the fools at the Leo Dabb production "Tomorrow at Weber," on April 20. With the scene set at "Dixon's Dorm for Dames," 1950, was well portrayed by shapely (?) mop-wigged maidens, Otto Slater, Cluick Miller, and Varl Graser. Skirts on Weber male, are revealing in leg art lines as we learned before the close cf assembly hour! Close upon the heels of ihe turmoil created by the three cab alleros came a drunken 'acuity meeting, in which Dr. Dixon, Mr. Allrcd, Miss Welling, Mr. Hayes and Mr. Buss stood stie acid test. For all time and forever will the sight of Arbie Dale, clad only in the pink unmcnticnables of female, be emblazoned on the minds of coeds. This atrocity to the female sex came about m the 1940 style review led by narrator Harold Tippetts. Costumes from blue nighties to red bathing suits were paraded by male models, before howling lans and new discoveries on record are Marlett Robins' shapely legs, Paul Crockett's lily white midriff and Grant Wood's red socks. Definitely talented Eugene Nye played a brilliant supporting role in the twin piano concert presentation of Pete's Concerto in G minor which sounded faguely familiar to the Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater melody. Minus the lower portion of his outer wearing apparel, Otto Slater caused an uprood as vhe final touch of the scene. Serenity was restored as Doug Burnett stepped to the microphone to sing the school hymn as the fitting finale for a winning Wildcat entertainment. Otyokwa squaws produced an unusual flash of talent and beauty on the following Friday in the disconnected bits called "On The Town." With excerpts from both famous and unknown productions and scenes of a definite horrid brew, Weber fans were delighted by song and dance 'of the hour. Dramatic Indians with blond hair and white revealing fringe presented a tnm-lom rhythm study to which comely Connie Jensen danced. TheAllred-jur-gens Set had a tinge of tin' 1e.1l thing as the two well known drama students could have done just such a routine on any English street corner at any lime-come buzz bombs or blitz. A black and white scene set in the eharminp twin niano ar- rangement of Gershwin's "Night and Day" was marred only hy one misplaced black formal which broke the symmetry df the chorus, and a nice but out of color, brown piano. A hew Danilova held the faciri-ated eyes of rnariy admirers iiS she pirouetted in a graceful bal let. 'the Usual grace and beauty of the squaws was riot lacking in this assembly. With the help of a full iper atic chorus, the Sea Nymphs entertained ah assembly audience with overdone ham complete with shrubbery. Interludes of corny jokes added the vegetable course to the remarkable production.A bumpy Sampson and Delila courtship brought gasps of shock from the female portion of the audience at the "fresh" techni que of the heroine. Boothe in bloomers and a fiery j hell brought pleasant relief to bored audience when Faust drug j on through aria after aria and ! duet after duet. Intermission ! brought little relief except for i the excidedly well-done costum ing of Pat Decker. A galoxy of colors and cos tumes greeted us in the Car Symphony Concert Conducted by Thomas J?eecham Ogden music lovers pronounced as one of the year's notable successes the appearance of Sir Thomas Beecham. inter-j nationally famous founder and I conductor of the London Phil-j harmonic at Ogden high school, I May 5, as guest conductor of .he I Utah state symphony He founded the London Phil- . harmonic with money which he inherited money, incidentally, which was derived from the sale , cf Beccham's Little Liver Pills. The Utah State Symphony, even in the absence of Sir Thomas Boecham's services, is said to be the finest symphony orchestra the state has ever developed. It is comprised of 73 professional musicians selected from all over the state. Of these 75 musicians the one uppermost in the minds of Weber college students is their own music teacher, Clair Johnson, who plays a horn in the orchestra. Generally conceded the high point in the concert was the playing of theOverture-Fantasia, "Romeo and Juliet," by Tschaikovsky. In the program notes the end of it is described as follows: "Flames of anger surge sky- I high, blotting out love and peace and forgiveness. At least passion consumes itself. The tym- j pam, vibrating to a tow c, announces the death of the lovers. Over this dirge, the strings wail at distorted intervals the Romeo and Juilet theme. Church music is faintly heard. The drama has ended." Other numbers on Ihe program were: Overture, "Merry Wives of Windsor," by Nicolai: "Serenade for Strings, Opus 20." by Elgar; "Symphony No. 93 in M Major, oy Hayan, anu .-une from the Ballet. "The Great Elopement," by Handel and Beecham. men routine. Here the blonde six foot senorita enticed a :"ive foot matador into the most motherly embrace yet seen on 1 Weber s stage. An emaciated Ferdinand with a stuffed smile was thrown in the ring to end the Sophvita production- "A De preciation of Opera." P. S. The costumes and pro grams were outstanding. "On the Avenue," with the merry maids of Chonodo, was a short and sweet leave with a peppy sailor and his blonde girl friend. Despite the wheel dropping off the Weberville ' trolley at an n-epportune moment, songs flowed along smoothly and the M-hour pass was used pleasantly. Gallagher and Sheen gave us a new and lovable pair in the White-Henderson line. With a few free "peekles" and a mug of Decker's beer they dreamed up a hangover and a half.

Iowa produced the greatest tonnage of foods and feed in its history. Its hay. grain and forage in 1942 totaled 29,527,000 tons. 23 per cent above 1941. Led by the record yield of 61.5 bushels of corn per acre, its eight main grain crops totaled 20,627,000 tons, 21 per cent above the nearest high point up to then. Millions of dollars from War Bonds went into processing those crops for our fighting men.
