C. should do much of, and that the directors of activities and teachers of classes could profitably encourage.An appreciative house commended Miss Ida Stewart and her girls for their ingenious entertaining performance. Here and there in the spectatory persons were heard to say that because of the variety and humor of this performance they preferred it to the work of professional dancers here last year. The "Dance Drama" composed, costumed and staged by members of the dancing club was presented in the college auditorium under the general direction of Miss Ida Stewart, assisted by the committee heads Marie Manning, Lillian Lund, Joan Williams, Ruth Jacobs and Margaret Smith. Poetic explanations were by Martha Ross Stewart. They were read by Rosemary Thinnes. Following the theme of the two world fairs, the dances were the girls' interpretation of various phases of these exhibitions. New York has its fabulous World of Tomorrow, And old San Francisco its Island of Treasure. The land is Fair-conscious its tenor we borrow And bid you to 'World Fair of Weber' with pleasure. The program opened with an interpretation called "Cross Advertising." The music, "Sidewalks of New York" and "San Francisco," was arranged by Eleanor Scoville. The mechanical exhibit to the tune of Debussy's "Golliwoggs Cake Walk" was the first exhibit to be criticized by the dancers to produce humorous effects. Miss Stewart did the solo dance in the "Fine Arts" scene to "Rhapsody In Blue," by George Gershwin, played by J. Clair Anderson. Comedy relief was offered in variations of "Three Blind Mice," a satire on the average visitor at an art gallery. Tschaikowsky's impressive "Marche Slave," played by the Weber college orchestra, furnished background music for a dance picturing the national scene of war. The "Gay Way," depicting the frivolous side of the fairs, featured jitterbugs and can-can dancers. The medley on the organ was by J. Clair Anderson. The final act pictured the American scene and the American's love for his country. Members of the dance group were: Virginia Allen, Faye Anderson, Myrtle Chugg, Ruth Compton, Mary Dyer, Rama Eyre, Clare Gil-man, Janis Grant, Ethel Hogge, Sarah Jackson, Ruth Jacobs, Ar-lene Jensen, Ida Rose Langford, Netta Lavin, Lillian Lund, Margaret Mason, La Priel Mathias, Florence Roberts, Ardell Russell, Marian Sander, Margaret Smith, Marie Stander, Ida Stewart, Margaret Tarran, Ruth Tomlinson, Betty Turnbull and Joan Williams. Musettes sang two numbers between dances. lota Tau Kappa Holds Tea Iota Tau Kappa held its annual Mothers' Tea in the Ladies' Lounge Saturday, April 20.

Daisy May and Little Abner will storm the campus next week when the student body dance committee conducts a survey for the typical Daisy May and Little Abner of Weber college. These two candidates will reign at the Hayseed Hop Tuesday, April 30, in the college ballroom. Candidates will be nominated in assembly tomorrow, and voting will take place next week. The Hayseed Hop, true to tradition, will be a typical barn dance. The dance committee has promised a walloping good time to all present. Freshman Class Hold Outing Weber freshmen held their annual outing Thursday, April 18, at Ogden Stake camp. At 4:00 p. m. Thursday the classes were dismissed and the freshmen left for the camp. Buses were employed to transport the freshmen who didn't plan to go in separate cars. At 7:00 p. m. the students lined up to be served hot dogs, cakes, soda water, and potato chips. Pop-sicles were the last feature on the menu. The High Hatters began to swing into rhythm just after sundown, and most of the students crowded toward the tennis courts, which had been covered with straw to make dancing more enjoyable. The remaining few students, the more venturesome high school students, disappeared into the various cars to "pitch a wee bit o' woo." A.W.S. to Tell Election Data In a special meeting after assembly last Friday, Shirley Poul-ton, president of the Associated Women Students, announced that the results of elections would be announced at the final A. W. S. banquet. We are planning a Mothers' Tea for both the girls' and the fellows' mothers. Coed day will be held May 10, in Ogden canyon at the Mount Ogden Stake camp with a bonfire meeting for both the fellows and the girls at night. I think with your Tuesday, April 30, in the lounge, co-operation," Shirley concluded, "we can make this a banner quarter for A. W. S." She: "I want a lipstick, please.' Clerk: "What size?" She: "Three rides and a house-party."Smeding, Marian Sander, Roberta Wade, Fawn Simpson, Arlene Andrew, LaPriel Mathias, Luella London, Lois Belnap, Bernice McEntire, Ruth Jacobs, Beth Paul, Ida Rose Langford.

The club committees are under the leadership of Reed Taylor as banquet chairman ; Earl Hight, awards; Ben Fowler, assembly; Seaman Mills, hike; Glen Clarke, pins, and Delmar Thompson, spring club shirts. More Scandali Bob Beck has that wonderful virtue of knowing everyone's name; and he's not running for an office either. Edna Bench, the butterfly of the art department, is commonly known as "Jerry" to all the "boys." First love hits pretty hard. Just ask Kathleen Benson or AUen Shupe. Gals, you'd better watch your step with that cute blond Ann Bingham wandering around loose. Wow, and can she ever sing! Kay Blaes is so big hearted. Yessir, some of her heart is in Texas, and some of it is at the "U". Still, she has plenty of time for local interests. So Mary Allen sprained her wrist! We'd like to know the real story behind it. Shame on you Eugene Allen. Imagine letting a girl get you up a stump, or should we say chase you up a tree? and Mazle at that! P. S. There has been an awful mistake somewhere, Lnmmie Peterson's family think he is bashful! Ruth Tomlinson was not drunk Friday night. Printed by request. Ennnnnaonnnor.

Weber Prepares Annual 'W Day "The annual 'W day and Water Carnival will be held this year at Lagoon," announced Coach Fer-ron Lossee today. "It was previously set for May 17, but has been set back till either May 23 or May 31. This postponement was made because Lawrence Tibbet, American tenor, will sing in Ogden on May 17 and our committees felt W day would conflict with this recital.""This year's carnival promises to be larger and better as well as different from last year's successful carnival," states General Chairman Daniel Bradshaw. "The plans for the day are: Intramural sports, a free play period, a swimming meet for both women's and men's intramurals. This will be topped by challenge volley ball and baseball games featuring the faculty versus the winners of the intramural volley ball and baseball winners. The evening will be ended by the swimming carnival and a band concert." Le Moyne Peterson is publicity manager. Dick Russell and Betty Lou Balch are in charge of the election of a queen; Wayne Chris-tensen, swimming; Robert Chris-tofferson will arrange for free transportation and Darrel Dies will conduct intramurals. Mr. Lossee will be the supervisor. (Continued From Page One) Courage . . . lack of imagination.Contentment . . . ambition gone to seed. Engagement ring ... a form of promissory note.

Scandal of Jkc PERSONAL AFFAIRS BY BYE Skip Forsha really distributes his time Friday, it was Yerna Lindsay; Sunday, .'Mary Lou Madson. We'd like to know the formula for quiet and contentment practiced by Phyllis Maddock. She's been true to the same fellow for four years; could chat be it? Caught in the library, Marian Butler and Elmer Stuart, reading The Goodhousekeeping Marriage Book It seems it's a long, long story. With Phoenix it's share and share alike: It may be Betty Mae and Dan Curtis or Betty Mae and Claire Whitely. Or then, It could We'll let this scandal shot speak Freshie outings good for? Right, be Druce Foutz and Con Morris, and then again, it might be Druce and Franklin Mann. And there is another Phoenix triangle Wilcox, Tanner and Hogge. And life seems to be just one long noon picnic for Norma Kelly and Charles Manning. Another A. C. Weber college romance : Emma Martin and Sam Purdy. And then there's Darrell May-field, alias Duke, alias Daisy Mae, alias Banana Daisy, and otherwise known as Dimples. Wonder if Barbara Minter misses the drum corps. Helen Moore is starry-eyed at last. No, he's not from Weber; it's one of those strong men (strong on women) from the "U." Still consistent, though it's a bumpy road, are Janet Morrin and Art Thomas. Memories from last year: Babbie Earls, Ray Pierson. . Darrell Deis, Hank Miller. Barbara Reeves, Charles Malan. Bob Peterson, Farrell Ensign. Bob Pell, Carol Smith. Betty MoCune, Bill Cook. Edna Loughran, Roy Steel. Lottie Lund, Harlin Packham. Beverly Briem, David Trevithick. Eva Greenwell, Wendell Hansen. Kay Blaes, Bill Lane. Marjorie Carver, Edgar Driver. Margaret Smith, Johnny McFar-land.Des Norton gets notes in his locker ALL THE TIME, and they're not anonymous. And wandering around a bend at the Freshman Outing, we came upon Glen Shannon and Almira Hes-lop and what would you be doing around a lonesome bend they were! Asked who he was with at Pln-nochio Saturday night, Don Hatch said (quote) : "The cutest babe I've ever been out with" (unquote). But we'd like to know who he was with at the Dance Drama. It seems not even Shirley knows. Maisie confided to Kay Farr that she had a new boy friend who was just crazy about her. His name, she confided, is Larkin Patterson. Bernice Perrins has been trying to be true to her missionary, but somehow Glen Clarke keeps her mind distracted. Le Moyne Peterson was wandering around the foothills the other Friday night, with his mind on his driving, of course, and ran into a canal. After hours of waiting (?) he finally had to wake up a farmer to bring his horses and drag them out. Cutest new couple around the campus, Barbara Fleming and Will Azcltine. Since Johnny Miller stepped into the Jean Walwork.-Carlyle Green combination, it's been Carlyle Green and Rosemary Pickens. Wish Jack Poorman could find someone around Weber So many hearts are pining. The rocky road seems to be smoothed out for Dorothy Doane and Waller Prothero, alias the Human Fly. It wasn't exactly what Dick Russell did to Print Pants Day, nor what "The Day" did to him, but, confidentially, they should never have been brought together. Spence Savage claims a fellow can be true to six or seven girls at once There, girls, now you know. Alan Henderson has been to the last three shows at the Egyptian alone. Maybe he's broke. Steady customers at the Egyptian (including the Strip Tease) Lib Jones and Hal Morris. Ruth Shurtliff is worrying about a jinx. It seems every fellow she dates goes off on the section gang. Ida and Ollle spend all their noons in the park. When questioned they declared, "Well, we can't do this at home." ii)oak Gordon Huggins can't go up to Brigham to see Camille anymore. The senator got a new car and Gordon can't disconnect the speedometer on this one. Alan Christenson and Mary Lou Madsen seem to hit it off pretty well that is when Chris can get a date. Edith Church, that cutie from Arizona, was raised on an Indian reservation. Yeh, and do you know what? Wecker's got his eyt on her! When is Bob Clark going to quit robbing the cradle and give Weber girls a break? y for itself. Anyway, what else are Barbara Bailey and Ed Kendell. Maybe the school could take up a collection and buy Roy Clark a cushion. That bottom step in the hall is hard. Seen at the bowling alley shooting pool was Junior Cook with hii sister. Kay Crockett and Donna Marie Curran seem to have patched things up again. These varsity; shows are wonderful things! Congratulations, Bob Darling! We hear you just celebrated your sixteenth birthday. What's all this about Darrell Deis asking Na Dean Farr to go steady? Could it be so? Dean Baumunk, that sought-after Skull, seems to have a hankering after Janet Morrin (the lucky gal), but he dates Marcelle Simpson. Now what's the low-down on that? History repeats itself. Yep, Con Morris and Merle Wood are back together again. And so-o Marjorie Andelln was seen at the Freshman Outing, and without Dan (Whiskers) Bailey. Betty Mae and Clair WNtely were seen at the show together lasi Sunday night. Yes, and Neva Hug-gins and Lennie Wight were there, too. . Now .where .was .Luman Green? (Just ask Lottie Lund). And then there's that cute Jo Adams, but then he's married, so there's no future in that. Arlene Andrew and Max Green seem to be renewing the romance of the lower hall. Marian Feat didn't take long to get in the swim. She's got Dean Allen and Gerald Bingham hot on her trail. Chloe Campbell has entrusted her heart to a life guard. Might be safe but we wonder. Ann Chard, a model of sophistication, patronizes Ross and jack's, and on Sunday nights, too. Lionel Chambers must have been disappointed in love. Why else Is he such a chronic woman hater? Would you like to know Mark's real name? Master Marcus Jacob Austad. Yessir, all signed and sealed by Mark himself. Just look at the library directory cards if you doubt our word.) We're wondering who will be Alan Bader's next crush now that Athlene Woods has quit school. Scoop, girls, Bruce Baird is on the loose! Barney (Gordon) is still looking for a girl. "She doesn't have to be beautiful or brilliant, just nice," says Gordon. Ruth Tolhurst must still have a flicker for Fred Blakely. At least we see them together every now and again. And have you seen Wayne Boyle burn up the tennis courts? Too bad he's got high school fever. For all-round niccness and congeniality Jack Branham takes the cake. Congratulations Brewer, t h I Russell romance has lasted longer than most of them. And at 11:00 p. m. the night of the College Prom Lewis Briggs and June Tracy could be seen not at the dance, but sitting in Lew's car. Shame, shame, you two! The latest park romance centers around Dean Brown and Virginia Allen, Mr. Anderson's 10 o'clock history class is just another debate to Blair Burton, Earl Tanner and Reed Coray. At least the rest of the class doesn't need to worry about uncomfortable silences in class. For lessons in jitterbugging just see Clarence Byrne or Lillian Lund. Branham's pretty good too. Where'd you get that hair cut Demos? That Dixon-Gardner deal is still going strong. 1 |
