Show Wednesday, May 28, 1947 WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST Page 5 Elvira Fanglesnap Pleads Moment of Silence As Year Passes to Limbo Elvira Fanglesnap, scintillating reporter and commentator, has looked back over the past school year, and commented nostalgically upon the outstanding events of the annum. The first outstanding event of the school year was the Flaming "W" hike, which was an unmitigated success. Scores of We-berites scaled the heights, not of success, but a remote mountain peak in the vicinity of 28th street. Alpenstocks and ropes were in order as the intelligentsia climbed upward, panting, not for air, but water. The return trip was not made in triumph. It was made, by most, by sliding and stumbling over the vanishing trail. One prominent member of the Signpost made the entire trip down hill on the seat of her Levis, while unidentified gallants pushed her off inclines and down cliffs. Pep Rallies Football season started out with a feeble pop. The team did well, and this pop was better than last year ... 50 people attended Instead of the traditional tS. Rally were anemlo, with a few hardy souls braving the traffic. One rally crashed down on Washington boulevard. The crowd was terrific The best thing to leave Brooklyn since the leaves flew off the tree. Bob Odenthal, was a big sparkplug In this effort He pulled the now Incapacitated victory bell. The Signpost, via the Ricks way, stirred up school spirt by making the student body foam at the mouth and resolve to show the Signpost. Four reporters were assaslnated in this effort. School spirit swung upward, and stayed there. Time was taken up with social club bids, the autumn concert. Orchid ball, the Thanksgiving dance, made outstanding by the partlolp&tioti of several turkeys. Mr. Parry's Oratorio was given, causing much favorable comment The autumn quarter was topped off by the Christmas party, where an amazing resemblance between Santa Glaus and President Dixon was noticed. Student body cards took a scalping during the Indian summer quarter, with the hordes descending on "State of the Union" and on the various violinists, baritones, writers and commentators. Then come the pause that refreshes. Christmas vacation. Some skied, some went south, others got married. Winter quarter arrived along with Founder's day, and the beginning of Weber's struggle for a four year school, which would mean you could be concentrated here, and hope for emancipation right in the old home reservation. Garfield, Burton, and Hurst perpetrated their notorious trio on a defenseless student body, leaving them weak and helpless. Founder's day program was a success. During the drive for four years of college, the auditorium was filled. Its shocked walls saw 1000 stu. dents therein Instead of the usual 300. (it holds 700). Hell Week Took Over The Snow Carnival was fun for almost everyone who either skied or manipuated the deck correctly, Miss Fanglesnap declared. Ken Beck came in the champion skier.

During this quarter, Weber's favorite songbird was caged, and walked the last aisle. The stars of "My Sister Eileen" soared across the chilly winter skies and fizzled out In a cloud of glory. Sports, namely basketball, took over the night life, and Elvira stated that Weber had the state champions also the national champions on the palatial campus. (Weber beat the Aggies who vanquished the U. of U.) National champions by the decision of logic. A brilliant array of concerts and lecturers swished through Og-den, bringing out the hibernating In their best Churchill crashed the Duranty-Kndckerbocker debate, giving one three-header, thus proving that too many cooks spoil the hot soup. Phi Rho Pi did the forensic honors with vim and ability. The Friendship banquet gave the club members a chance to be friendly and look over the latest In formats. Charm week came, with all the girls, including Elvira, doing their best to be charming and not looking like they were casing the joint for the most personable man to ask to the AWS Preference ball. Students of various high schools descended like the locusts of old, to participate In debate. All rooms were turned over to the forensic jousters. Miss Fanglesnap stated that, In a terrific rush, she dashed into put on some lipstick, only to see a debate team ensconced theroin. Spring came with the proverbial bold on de wing. Elvira stated that she thought that the wing was "on de bold." This was considered an understatement. Students went north, south. Marriage proved con tagious, with numerous students falling under the scythe of the con-tagation.

Successful Plays Weberites scored high in the one-act play contest by taking first and third in the handicap. Win, place and show, that i3. Elections differed from last year's elections. This year Elvira found that there were annual elections, and also that she was not the only independent on the campus. One of the newest clubs on the campus had two members on the agenda for the next year's offices. Fee"nS ran rather high, and all the generalship lying dormant in the hollow chests of campaign managers came out. The Janitors and the keeper of the grounds were discovered at the foot of a large, steep cliff. They had viewed the posters, and gave up the ghost. Fourteen students lost their way to class, Elvira amongst them, in trying to find the way through the Moench halls. A fable is told of this election that will go down in the folkways and mores of Weber. It is told of two members of the opposing factions meeting in the Hall of the Central building. They looked up into each others eyes. They spoke. "Hello," they said simultaneously. They moved on, each vowing to friends, before witnesses, that they felt as though they 'had just Communed with a Higher Power. The musical concert, given by the Weber musical department, brought out music lovers hiding in the ivy-halls of Weber. This brought forth the comment that there should be more musical assemblies.Outstanding women on the cam pus had their day at the AWS Recognition banquet, received awards, and for really outstanding achievements, were awarded nosegays. a ...

The Dorians have been led by Mr. Parry before vast audiences and a rough estimate reveals the fact that far more than 50,000 peo ple have listened to programs that have been presented by this popular group of musicians. Wide Variety of Programs They have appeared in numerous school assembly programs, in con. certs, at civic club meetings, in theatres, in church programs, in the Radio Workshop series and upon other radio broadcasts that seek their music. Programs of wide variety have greatly increased the demand for the Dorians. Recently they furnished music for the Weber county Centennial queen coronation given May 10, in the Ogden high school auditorium. They are heard over KLO every other Saturday evening at 6:30 p. m., with the Weber college "Captain Mac Showboat Series." At the Egyptian Theater, the Dorians were featured on the evening of May 15, and over KLO on May 18, they gave a half hour of music on the regular Sunday evening Centennial broadcast.

Sophomores look forward to emancipation, and a temporary sojourn into the cold cruel world. Rumor has it that John Murphy and Darrell Wiley will be In those numbered amongst the leaving. Miss Fanglesnap announced that there will be a moment's silence for the passing of these two historic monuments. So another year has passed into limbo. Elvira stated that she was retiring to her rock for the sum mer, the only definite statement to be issued by anyone during the latter part of the spring quarter. Dial 9341 4 MEN'S CLUB! Thoughts Turn Acorn Release Is Slated for June 4 By Delores Moon With the end of school in sight and exams, the student body turns their attention to the year book. I, in my endeavors to find out about the year book have regretted said action ever sinee. The year book is a guarded secret during the nine months or three quarters of the school year. o one knows and no one tells. Guards are posted outside of the Acorn room. Pictures and copy within ore more precious than the nuclear fission of the atom. I know, I was gently ejected on my feet from the room after being discovered while peeking through a key hole. Horrible Death Campus kiddies look scared and worried about the year book. Where will I get the other two-fifty? The staff does horrible things to people who don't pay their bills. I even heard tell they have a deal on with Mr. Hayes to borrow his pathogenic Escherichia coli so that they can stick non-payers' fingers in it. The poor victim dies a horrible death. Girls scream femininely, "I just hate for him to take that horrible pioture of me-" Boys wait to see themselves dressed in tux's, even if they are only rented. Had the pictures been full length there; would be some rather red male faces on the campus. Shirley Lowder (had me fooled I'd of sworn he was a she) prom, ised the books will be ready for distribution before the first of June. Too bad for some who wanted to wait until after those June weddings for their prospective mates to see them under the Kleig lights. Everything shows up in Porter-Wheat pictures. Murmuring Voices Voices murmur about the year book. How big will it be? Is it worth the five dollars? A small fee considering its worth fifty years from now. Size, shape, and color of a book is never revealed until the day of distribution. This protects the staff from any unnecessary harrasslng. It's rumored the book will have a section set aside as a memorial to those legislative members who killed the four year plan. You know what section that is Section 8. Art work in the year book will be a guess. I've heard tell that the art is even better than John Murphy's. Of course that Would have to be good. The theme is Reconversion. As I sit here in the Signpost room look ing through the seven layers of dirt on the window I can see why. Those beautiful buildings now un der construction are enough to gladden the hearts of any Weber- lte. All for free too! One of the Best All kidding aside, the year book this year promises to be one of the best. With the additional increase in the student body there will have to be more pages ana more pages make a more interesting book. Shirley Lowder and his staff have worked hard all year in giving life to the book that died at the onset of the war. Staff fingers are crossed in hopes of anAll-Amerl-can rating. And why not? Why with the talented and interesting people on our college campus how could we help but have a year book. Bou-kou!

Miss Betty Peterson, were presented before a large audience in the Ogden high school auditorium the evening of May 10. Chosen as her attendants were 18-year-old Carol Colleen Price and Etta Jean Ambler who will appear with the queen through the coming season. Curtain Raising Front drapes of the high school stage rolled back promptly at eight-fifteen p. m., to reveal three gorgeously-dressed ladies of honor, with petite Barbara Ellen Buss, Verlaync Richardson and Lynda Rae Russel as flower girls and little Dennie Stuart as crown bearer.Weber college Dorian Singers, standing in the wings were directed by Roland Parry as they sang an appropriate "Hail to the Queen," composed by Mr. Parry and Joan Allred who wrote the lyrics. As the music faded into distance, Mayor Romney, now on stage, briefly outlined how the royal group had been chosen and sponsored by the Weber county chapters of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and the Sons of the Utah Pioneers.

Then the crown bearer and the mayor, from opposite sides of the stage moved toward the group, met before the throne and the proper dignity, the mayor lifted the crown and placed it on the head of Miss Peterson, proclaiming her "Weber County Centennial Queen." Ode to the Queen As the royal group formed in the center of the stage, the Dorians sang the concluding portion of the composition which had been writ, ten in honor of the queen. Then Miss Peterson, a former student of Weber college and vocalist, stepped frctn her throne to sing the solo part of "Deep in My Heart" with the Dorians in a concluding number. The honored procession, led by the crown bearer and flower girls, began its exit with Mayor Romney escorting the queen who was followed by her attendants. The royal group took reserved seats and without delay, the massive curtains parted for the presentation of Utah's Centennial light opera production of "Blossom Time," that masterpiece of the life and love of Franz Schubert. "Blossom Time" Walter Richardson Benjamin, Sterling Bush and Dorothy Ked-dington of Salt Lake City were cast in the leading roles. The presentation of Sigmund Romberg's inspiring music thrilled the audience as a cast of 25 persons plus a wonderfully trained chorus brought to Ogden one of the finest musical productions heard here in a long time. wear ... a suit season after season P 12 kL BANK SMOKERY Smart Apparel 2513 Washington Blvd. "Since 1907" |
