No sir, just ask Mr. Nilsson. Now after many :.ours of pondering, sitting chewing our pencil stubs, scratching our heads 'r anyone elset's who was near enough, we finally, yes, no kidding we finally got an idea. What Is it that's one of the most important things in life? Well, we won't keep you guessing. It's smiles. Yes sir, big broad smiles, shy toothy smiles, lovely election smiles but all the same smiles. The Signpost staff is not one to overlook the important things in life. Far from it. We want them Scandah of Jim U)wk PERSONAL AFFAIRS By MIIXICENT "East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." That's Bob Peterson's motto.

Yessir, he and Miss Coleman were seen together at the nomecomu g wnkfast. (She has a very lovely chrysanthemum.) Boo to the freshman class. That was very, very wonderful wood you brought to the homecoming rally. You could have bought a little with all that money collected. My my, the park is quiet the place these days. Sherm French and Edna Riley have it reserved from 10 to 12 every day. At 12 o'clock Skip Forsha and Mary Lou Madsen take over. Well, who said the Signpost isn't doing a noble deed? Just look what it did for Gordon Barney. It found him Maurine Jackson. Now just what were our honorable (?) class president, Lewis Briggs, and June Tracy doing in the boiler room the other day. Shame on you two. 'Taint nice. What will Dr. Dixon do when he moves in his new home (right next door to the college)? He won't be able to walk home with Helena any more. Looks as if your brother beat you to it Wayne B. (Nice going Beth). Stomo Ochi got mixed up and turned in a lo.OUU wora tneme instead of a 1,500 word. (We wonder if he really misunderstood or if it's a super case of apple polishing.)Nioe going, Betty Smalley. It isn't every girl who can get a date with Jerry Clark. Who's more uncooperative than the men's clubs no one. Come on, fellows, after all you're here to support the school not to "beef" about everything that comes up. Grant Hinchliff is in love. He said so himself. Mmmmmm, what has Margaret Todd got? Seen at the show last Saturday night, Barbara Minter and Keith Farr and Mrs. Minter. What's the mater Barbara, doesn't your mother trust you? When are you going to settle down, Ross? If you don't be careful you'll lose them both, Arzella and Ann. Gals, don't be deceived by Glen Hadley's sincere looks. Sunday he had a busy day. First Izzy, then up to Brigham to see Ida (a married woman at that) and then down to take Lottie out. Wow, what a man. Darrell Dies is wondering whether Clara Miller's coldness is due to indifference or what? Marvelous, Bart, how true you are to Ellen that is, when Florence, Janet, Ann, Shirley and June are busy. First comment on the rule abolishing the paying of more than 75c for corsages was from Glen Brewer. "How can I send a dozen orchids on 75c? We thought Wayne Boyle was going steady, but I guess Norma Seegmiller doesn't. When the cat's away his mouse will play and so with Don in Cal. Flo was seen at the T. T. with Lammie Peterson (La Moyne). Yes, Yes, and we saw Ross and Ann at the homecoming game, and Ross and Arzella at the homecoming dance so what? Wanted! A good housekeeper.

At this meeting they also decided to have a Pot-Luck Hard Times Supper on November 27, at one of the girls' homes. Thanksgiving Shoppers ' Mary Lou Madsen, Otyokwa, and Clothes Far Cry From Days of John Alden By DOROTHY RICHARDSON Clothes were of minor importance when John Allen was courting Priscilla. Building homes, fighting or making peace with Indians, and securing a fair livelihood were uppermost in the Puritan mind. Priscilla's wardrobe probably contained two dark homespun dresses, a coat, a cap, heavy shoes and stockings, several white aprons, collars and cuffs. John Alden would be seen in a dark homespun suit, a heavy cape, and a huge hat. Utility and economy ranked first in the minds of these sturdy people who planted the seeds that have grown into a great industrial nation. Heavy homespun of yesteryear is replaced by flimsy silks and chiffons that can be used only once, then forgotten. Warmth and ultility are not foremost in a modern buyer's mind. Style, pattern, beauty and richness usually come first, then; the question of whether or not it will wear one season. But modern youth would not fit m with the drabness of Puritan days. The Indian in bright gay colors would suit much better. Perhaps it is just as well for fashions to be as they are, for they typify the daring, vivacious,happy-go-lucky moderns. Ofyokwa Holds Squaw Party On Tuesday, November 21, a party was given to the Squaws by the Papooses of Otyokwa at the Huggins ranch. Those in charge of the party were Donna Marie Curran, Shirley Scoville, and Ida Smith. For once the Squaws forgot their venerable years and adopted with zest the idea embodied in their invitations, "All the bums of Otyokwa are cordially invited to unbraid their tresses at a hobo-party given in their honor." were the principal diversion, and many a male would have swallowed his "Adam's apple" could he have gazed upon the inverted damsels during the "headstanding" contest. Cab Calloway, too, would never have attempted to keep abreast with those twinkling toes in the jitterbug competition. In keeping with the theme, a "hand-out" lunch was provided after which the "dead Indians" were piled into a bus and deposited for future attention in Ogden. The Squaws who attended were: Babbie 'Earls, Doraine Herbert, Clara Miller, Ruth Tolhurst, Betty McCune, Ann Danvers, June Tracy, Barbara Reeve, Merle Sackett, Loraine Baird, Edna Loughran, Kay Storey, and Shirley Critchlow. The Papooses present were: Clara Gilman, Neva Huggins, Mary Allen, Betty Smalley, Ruth Shurtliff, Athleen Woods, Carolyn Smith, Betty Lou Balch, Valeen Wright, Ruth Packer, Emma Jean Hinley, Ethel Hogge, Mary Lou Madsen, Louise Dixon, Helen Fuller, Donna Marie Curran, Merle Wood, Emma Martin, Shirley Scoville, Mary Heiner, and Ida Smith. Tau Kappa Holds Birthday Party "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you" ended the delightful traditional birthday party held last night in the Weber lounge honoring the fourth anniversary of Iota Tau Kappa.. Renewing friendships with past presidents, who were the guests of honor, and with last year's alumni, was the main entertainment of the . . . Ellen Hadfield, La Dianaeda.

Demos, who wss chosen as alternate. The tryouts for extemporaneous speaking and oratory were held under supervision of Dr. Mitchell.

ADVICE TO WALLFLOWERS Attention, you co-eds who want to free yourselves from the clutches of all those men who are hot on your trail. It's not difficult. Just a few simple rules to follow: I. Just load your conversation with talk of questionable taste. Instead of proving your sophistication, ikwill prove that you haven't been brought up right. II. Try being consistently late. Tell the others to go on and "order one for me." Prove to everyone that you're a pain in the neck. III. Brag about your men and your conquests. No matter what an attractive wench you are, no man can take it. IV. Insert your wit into other people's stories. Be sure to cap "his" story with a funnier one as soon as he stops to catch his breath. V. Do a disappearing act every hour to repair your war paint. Worry continually about your hair, your lips, or your powder job and you'll drive your man to drink no doubt.' VI. Emit constant eerie shrieks at an already eerie movie. Clutch your escorts arm black and blue, and you'll never find yourself clutched in those same arms. VII. Always be just too tired to play another round of golf, too hot to dance, too cold to swim, and too dressed up to have any fun, and you'll sure catch up on all your knitting. VIII. Always mother your victim. Hover over him with vigilant care and you'll scare him off for keeps. Well, that's it. Practice these wiles and you're slated to be a successful wallflower. Take it from one who knows. A BOUQUET Everyone likes to have a friend. The people of Weber college do have a friend a friend who is never too busy, in all the work that must be done, to give you a cheerful smile, to stop the work that she is doing to talk to you, and to give you advice and encouragement. Your troubles are her troubles. No matter how overwhelming her odds are, she always wears that warming smile. She goes out of her way to help a student or teacher. For all of this her chief pay is the knowledge that she is doing her part to make Weber a better school. She asks nothing but perhaps that she receives a smile in return. We want to thank Miss Helena Danielsen for being our friend and' to give her this toast: "Strength in all you do and may your good deeds not go unrewarded." Turkey Truck O. K. Avers Excelsior By NORMAN BOWEN "Informality reigned at Excelsior's Turkey Truck last Friday night," said Bob Peterson, who pronounced the affair a screaming success. "We made money on it! Greatest in history!" Atmosphere was formed by the transformation of the usual carefree student dance crowd into an uproarious bunch of hayseeds and farmerettes. Sweepstakes (honorary) was unanimously awarded to a sweet young thing wearing something slightly abbreviated. "Scandalous," thought Mr. Gray, at the door, but on the other hand. . . . Original art creations in the form of transparent silhouettes by Farrell Collett formed the theme illumination in harmony with the Thanksgiving motif. Cider flowed freely. Advantage (not fair) was taken of the club's offer of all the cider desired for 10c. Jack Hazen did himself proud as usual, although he was slightly piqued at the reaction a sort of sweet, sickish feeling in the stomach after the sixth full glass (conservatively speaking). Frank Wilcox took the turkey home. He was lucky. So was the student body. They didn't make him sing when he won it. It was a nice turkey. Junior Squires, pledge in charge of keeping it healthy, said it had come to be well beloved by Excelsior in the brief time it had been a part of the family. Junior wiped his eyes as he said this. But the turk didn't seem to mind going. Skull Club Holds Skating Party The Skull Club held its skating party at the Berthana Skating Rink November 9, 1939. Refreshments were served and the party, proved a great success. The members gave the pledges the honor of serving the punch and cookies. In this manner the pledges were put on exhibition while their dates were being entertained by the members. Mr. O. M. Clark, the club's new sponsor, was present for the first time since he agreed to sponsor the club. The boys were happy to have him there as they have been without a sponsor for some time. Also the boys were glad, for, as they said, "His spirit and enthusiasm were contagious and helped to make the party a wow!" The accidents at the party were few. Miss Kathleen Benson received a number of floor burns on her elbows and hands. She was present with one of the pledges. No other injury occurred except in the pride of those who sat down. Among these was Robert Darling, who received the name of "Sitting Bull", because he presented a good example of a sit down striker. All present were amazed at the hidden talent that appeared. Some of the fellows and their partners spun artistic strides in true professional sty'e. Their grace and balance was excellent for supposedly amateurs. Those present from the club were: members, Bill Sumner, Fred Robinson, Ernest Cook, Leo Yates, Dean Clayton, and Alan Christiansen; Jesse Jensen, Robert Darling, Glen Cherry, George H. London, Emmit Clayton, Robert Hughes, Leslie Gardner, Rat Clark, Franklin Pack, Delmar Stone, Donald West, and Gene Talbot. Misery hates company. Something Funny Here Glen Brewer (left) is happy because he looks across and sees that Lewis Briggs (right) 'is happy. And, Mary Huggins (the girl in the case) is happy because Brewer is happy. See, she has her eyes on him all right. Briggs, soph prexy, started it all by thinking how good the loan fund ball is going to be December I. Briggs and the other sophomore officers are handling the event for the sophomore class. The faculty women are co-sponsors. T. I. C. President Tells Aims of Club Rumors about the plans of the Trade Industrial club acted as excuse for an interview yesterday with the club's new president, Fred Malouf. Malouf explained the purpose of the club. It is to unite the trade industrial students so that they will have a better civic attitude toward the community and a better social attitude toward school. It makes possible participation in more activities, mainly sports. The club, which is in its second year, is endeavoring to gain more respect from the student body as a worthy organization upon the campus. "There's too much snobbery toward the technical expert who is the engineering brains of our modern, enriched life," said Malouf. "We hope to show local collegians the facts of life in this important detail." Malouf, Burt Vincent and Keith Wilcox were elected officers of the club November 11. Phoenix Appoints Snowball Heads Phoenix started the snowball rolling last week when club president Fred Foulger appointed committees to begin work on the club's fall quarter social epic, the Phoenix Sno-Ball. This is the annual Christmas formal dance which has become traditional with Phoenix and the school as a whole. The dance is scheduled for December 20, the Wednesday on which Christmas vacation begins. Foulger is general chairman of the evening; Lewis Briggs is in charge of the dance and Rolfe Peterson is in charge of the banquet which club members will attend after the dance. Further details will be announced later. Ex-W eberite Name In Who's Who Doroty Dixon, former Weberite now student body vice-president at Brigham Young university, is one of twenty students at that school to be named in a national collegiate "Who's Who," now being readied for publication in the South, at Alabama. Candidates for B. Y. U.'s contribution to the publication were recently named by the university faculty. The collegiate "Who's Who" is a compilation of facts and figures about every college or university in the nation. Besides enrollment, history, curriculum, etc., the book lists the twenty most meritous students of each school. Selections are based on character, scholarship, leadership and citizenship. Miss Dixon, a daughter of Weber's President Dixon, was a debater and member of the Signpost staff while at Weber and was socially active. Link-Tiffany again shows a fine selection of styles, at special prices to students. It will jay you to see them. LINK-TIFFANYSTUDIO Hotel Ben Lomond Building Glamour Gal . . . Janet Morrin The Signpost editors recently had access to a big pile of pictures or, in the vernacular of the newsroom, "mugs." A bit of rummaging brought to light several mugs, heretofore unappreciated in the field of glamour, which we like so much that we're bettering this issue with one of the best. Presenting Miss Janet Morrin. Pledges Elect New Officers The pledges of Sigma Delta Pi elected pledge officers at their meeting Wednesday. Carl Moss was elected to head the group of pledges; Tom Poorman vas elected vice president, and Spencer Loughton won the office of secretary.The duties of the pledge officers will be parallel to the regular officers except they will deal with pledge matters only. This is the first time that a Weber college men's club has elected pledge of ficers. The Sigmas think it will be successful. All of the national fraternities' chapters such as S. A. E., Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta and many others elect pledge officers for thair chapters. They have found this to be a very successful practice.Sigma Delta Pi intends to sponsor a student body dance. Plans for this affair are under the direction of the pledge officers. Plans at present call for a jitterbug contest affair.
