Show May 13, 1955 SIGNPOST Pape 3 Sig Ponf's y t. Cellar Playwrights Score Third Hit By Gary Peterson The Weber College Theatre Workshop dramatists have scored another "Hit" under the direction of H. E. D. Redford. The modern version of the Greek tragedy, "Antigone," complete with present-day settings, mannerisms, and dialogue, lost none of its original impact as a powerful drama. This play, instilled with famous Greek philosophy, was presented in full meaning by the college cast. The story of Antigone's desire to bury her dead brother against the ultimatum of Creon's which forbade it, produced some dramatic scenes. Sharon Wallace in the title role portrayed well, the loves and passions of a young girl trapped by her desires. The king, Creon, presented a dramatic challenge to big, boisterious Darwin Van De Graaf and the change in characterization was well carried. Antigone's lover Haemon, depicted by Therald Todd, and Antigone's sister Ismene, played by Sally Jeppsen, were dynamic characters. Two young men in varied roles showed very well in initial roles in a Cellar Theatre production. Kent Berg as the guard and Boyd Anderson as the messenger gave heightened excellence to dramatic scones of importance. Supporting Roles The Greek chorus, or rather its, job, was done by Ron Ingalls. Ron, being an excellent reader, performed well the role of instructing the audience on the play. Colleen Miller as the nurse gave a good character portrayal. Ann Knight as the silent queen, and Al Flem-, ing and Nolan Jones as guards, blended the minor but necessary roles into the overall picture of the tragedy. Dak's Continentals To Be Featured At Freshman Bali Popular, "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White," is the theme for the Frosh dance, next Friday night.

Sez Who Weber Students Just Aren't Superstitious By Nancy Sanders - This week, your roving reporter asked: "What is your pet superstition?" From the answers I got, it would seem that most Weber College students are not superstitious at all. i "I don't have :j a pet supersti-J tion, but I look 3 out for every- thing especially j men. When they are tall, dark, and handsome, they are very nice and they also bear watch-V,,'' ing. Why I re- member just the other day . . ." Audrey Harris "I always carry!. . a four-leaf clover with me. to because don't have one, Ipj ' am just jinxed.j V that is all there V is to it. It is i. very necessary to get a new one each Monday morning at 6:15 they're the Barbara very best kind." Kassmussen What is my pet superstition? The only thing I can think of that scares me is Women! They come in all sizes and shapes, and most of them are dangerous. I once knew a girl that was a gold digger. She tried to get everything she could. Wow!" Robin Tucker "I don't have '" have any superstitions because I think it is silly to be superstitious. I have walked under ladders, had black cats walk in front of me, spilled salt and not thrown any over my left shoulder, and nothings hap- ( pened to me at all. Darn it." Dee Fowers I have e if I "'J i f -'""' " -J is, '1 WJ 'J ' J "4 nyihing Qoes There has been much chatter of late supporting the idea of abolition of social clubs. Being the "clubby" sort myself, I can picture how much fun Weber would be without clubs. Think of the fun when everyone in school is conscripted to bake cakes to sell in order to make up the deficit in student body funds which would result if the student body tried to put on half as many dances and assemblies as are now sponsored and paid for by the clubs. Fun Laughing Think of the fun we'll have laughing at the student body officers when they ask us to help them. It'll be a riot to watch their hair get progressively grayer as they try to put on every assembly and decorate every dance themselves. Think of the great bill they'll run up for carloads of Carter's Little Liver Pills which they'll have to take in order to build up their run-down condition. Won't it be grand not to have any more intramurals? The kids who like sports can now turn to the finer things of the sporting world like pool and gambling on Friday afternoons, and they won't have to worry about who's going to win a trophy either. That's not the only benefit: all the girls will get nice and fat without any exercise. The competition in intramurals is also hard on the students' hearts, so now they can die of laziness instead of heart trouble. Won't it be fun not to have any more parties? Hooray! Now all of us can sit home every night and become introverted book worms! It'll surely be fun having a two-piece orchestra when we have a dance once every three months (since that's all the school could afford). I guess we can get used to dancing in beer parlors for entertainment on Friday nights. Officers Overworked When the student body officers get battle fatigue after the third assembly and we don't have any more, it'll really be lovely not having to worry about getting rides down to the assemblies. STAR Printing & Litho Co. 327 - 23rd Street PHONE 3-7988 I have been pondering on a title for the "New Weber College Minus Social Clubs" and have come up with the perfect one: "Weber Institution for the Socially Maladjusted."Sure, there are some things wrong with clubs, but their overall picture is one of service to the school. A lot of people criticize clubs, and a lot of Communists criticize a Democracy, but that doesn't make a Democracy a bad thing. Musettes to Sing On Award Assembly The Musettes, well known college women's vocal group, have brought much recognition to themselves and the college recently. Under the direction of capable J. Clair Anderson, the Musettes have sung for numerous assemblies and meetings throughout the city and state. The group has a regularly-scheduled class at noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, each week.' Janet Hadley, Mary Bunderson, Carma Johnson, Dolores Anderson, Rozanne Kelly and Tootsie White make up the popular group.
