PERSONAL AFFAIRS By BYE So the Ricks girls came, saw, and the rest remains to be seen. Anyway, Con Morris has a ring we saw on a Rick's finger. Gordon Huggins didn't waste any time. The P. K.'s left for Rexburg Sunday morning and so did he! He dragged back in time . for his nine o'clock class Monday, and a special delivery letter arrived the next day. So now he is devoting all his time to Camille Larson. It makes about that much sense to us, too. Ernie Cook really fell hard the first nightbut she was married! We all have to learn to take the bitter along with the sweet. We'd like to offer thanks to Bud Johnson for keeping track of Emma Martin's little pig bank when she leaves it in the dark room. Confidentially, have you heard Lammie Peterson stutter? Just say Merle, and he goes right into his act. Rosemary Pickens got an anonymous letter, "Don't lose your bead over Larry Garr." We'd like to know who else is in the know. Walt Bingham, the Fred MacMurray of the Vocational building, is causing a lot of women to yearn for Spring. And as a forecast for next issue's scandal, there is going to be another debate trip soooo we're expecting Reed and Betty Lou to " do their stuff. Which Ricks girl was it that was so embarrassed when caught by Mrs. Hall in the indiscreet act of a fond good night kiss. And could the fellow have been Ben? The Weber girls have definitely decided that Herbert Smith is "public enemy No. I." Say, Herbie, give us a break and come down off your high horse. Why does Glen Fuller have that faraway look in his eye Could it be that Marjorie Christenson had something to do with it? We'd like to know what developed from the pictures of Iris Bean that Gene Allen took Saturday. We wonder if Heiner is slipping? Mark Austad is definitely thataway about a certain beautiful lady teacher Will he be taking all typing classes next quarter? Junior Squires is the best catch of the week but try to catch him. If lit doesn't work, try Wayne Craven. From all indications we are led to believe that Lib Jones and Curt Johnson have succumbed to Spring Feber. It seems that the girls in the Chem. classes have changed their minds about Nile Harbertson, the assistant Chem. teacher, or could it be that he has changed Don't rush girls the line forms to the , right. Lottie Lund is moving to Boise, better get your dates early, boys. (Call 887-W). (Paid Advertisement). Ethel Hogge has found her secret love, namely, Claire Whitely. Since Margaret Tarran started dating Harry Dayhuff, she's nearly driven us crazy singing, "I'm Just Wild About Harry, and Harry's Wild About Me." What about Claire? Happy birthday wishes to our Weber prodigy, Dick Thomas, who will be five yeprs old Feb. 29. Just to spite Scandal Bruce B. has been trailing M. Simpson or maybe it's not just to spite Scandal. Confidential Exchange: Junior Squires is escorting Hank Miller to the dance, Where's Henderson? So Mary had a little lamb that nothing, so has Marian Toone only hers is a black sheep, Kenneth Krey. And romances spring up anywhere even in the Vocational building Netta Lavin and Malcolm Burch have a corner reserved. La Dianaeda has its first nephew. He is the son of Barbara Huff Anderson, born Monday, Feb. 12. And then there's Dale "Spider Scofe" Schofield, who according to Mr Neville's 8:00 o'clock Sociology class should change his tastes in girls and patronize home industry give the local co-eds a chance Dale, and end your reighn of terror. It couldn't be "Peach Days" that forms the big attraction for Wil-ford Smeding in Brigham. Still there is an attraction. Careful Margaret Tmgey or he'll be sending the gas bill to you. 1 Looks as if Lottie has her eye on Val Goddard or is it visa-versa? We hear Junior Corolcs. Ted Baxter, and Stillman Pitt had more than just school "spirits" at the game that Friday. Ah, well, it's all fair and in fun, isn't it .fellows? Who can say Edna Loughran doesn't get around. Her latest catch is Ferrm Larkin. Now that Sherm French's California girl friend has gone back, we . wonder who he'll be casting a hopeful eye at. Ah Kent and "Rollie" are back together again thank heavens. Bacteriology might be a nightmare to some of you, but to Louise Dixon and Wmslow Gardner it was beautiful. Yes, sir, it brought them together. It's rumored that Beverley Peterson doesn't care much for Weber boys. Now darn, that's mean, Beverley. Come on, give them a break. Law is a pretty stiff course and we're wondering if Connie Rackham is going to make the grade. Her mind and time seem to be monopolized by Grant Reese. Wha,1 haPPened l 'hat Maurine Jackson Gordon Barney deal' After all, we of the Signpost feel in part responsible. We've heard a lot of pretty lassie say that they certainly wish Tom Toyne would give Weber girls a break. ' A BOUQUET FOR IOTA TAU KAPPA The staff wishes to take this opportunity of complimenting lota Tau Kappa on their school spirit and cooperation. The club members have faithfully ushered at every lyceum number this year. Besides this they succeeded in getting more people out to Founders' Day than any other club. In the recent drive to collect dimes for infantile paralysis, lota Tau Kappa came in ahead of the other Weber girls' clubs. lota Tau Kappans are also faithfully supporting all A. W. S., W. A. A., and student body activities. SOME SERIOUS REFLECTIONS Reflections while sitting in class. Things I like about Weber college: The sensible clothes worn by all students. The noon-day crowd in the Moench building. The small amount of make up worn by the girls. The friendly feeling among all students. The willingness of teachers to help bewildered students. Mr. Monson's intelligence and ability to teach. Mr. Benson's sense of humor. Things I don't like about Weber college: The size of the lockers in the Moench building. The decided lack of heat in the Central building. The people who don't line up in the cafeteria. The odor from the chemistry lab. Everyone's wanting the library book that I want.
