Show ) THURSDAY, JUNE I, 1944 WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST Local High School Graduates Guests Of Weber Wildcats At Huge Carnival Reviewer Praises Staff for Good Job Done on Scribulus Election Pleases A.W.S By Now I "Weber college invites you to attend the Wildcat Carnival presented in your honor Wednesday evening May 17, on the Weber campus at seven-thirty p. m." . . . So read the invitations extended to all high school graduates in this region. Enticements offered were: Food: "You can eat all you dare and we won't even care. You just get in the mood and we'll furnish the food." Gym facilities: "If you want to get cool, take a dip in the pool or play ball and squash too. They're all just for you." Vaudeville: "If you lik to have fun then come on the run. We're going to show the best that we know." Dancing: "With a hip and a jive just to keep you alive, We'll give you a chance to truck out and dance." Vaudeville and Cadets Students from Weber high, Og-den, Davis and Box Elder filled the auditorium to over-flowing where they viewed a series of scenes, acts and special numbers. Entertained by an old fashioned melodrama presented in rhyme about "Nell and her little dummy," a burlesque of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Mexican horse, Johnny Doughboy on K. P., One man's Nightmare, and Gypsy Rose Lee McCune, the high schoolers were kept rolling in c'ne aisles. Immediately following the assembly the awed spectators stamped out to the lawn to get a good position for the viewing of the naval cadets' drill. Dressed in their blues, the cadets did themselves proud. Many "oh's" and "ah's" were heard from the feminine section and even a few men expressed a favorable opinion of the boys from the navy. Quick Decisions Bedlam followed "the dismissal of the paraders as quick decisions were made as to where to spend the rest of the evening. The cafeteria did a booming business as hot dogs, pickles, potato chips, cold drinks and ice cream was consumed. The swimming pool was the scene of many a hilarious happening as the boys took over the deep end. Many a coy and bashful gal looked on with envy but didn't venture near the water. New acquaintances were made and old ones renewed at the college ballroom as some two hundred people danced to the music of the ,nickleodeon. By the use of mixers, Miss Welling soon had the boys as well as girls dancing. It could be said that the fresh young high school girls made a hit with the ."kadettes." I Mrs. Hall gains credit for the fvery successful evening as gen-jeral chairman. Assisting her were ! Mr. Davis and Miss Welling, Mel-",va Campbell, and Althea Andelin who was responsible for the clever . invitations. Mr. Espy, the Whip club and the girls from the dormi- tory took charge of the cafeteria. We feel that those who supported and sponsored this event should be complimented for their I work. It was a gesture that made I the high school grads feel wel-Lcome to Weber and It left many Lof them with a good impression of our school. Kampus Kapers It has not been the policy in recent issues of Sign Post to have a gossip column, because such writing lowers the standards of any publication. However, for lack of wordier material, we introduce to you for the first and last time, "Kampus Kapers." Say, I hope Lucy and Otto have patched up whatever difference of opinion it was that they had. They look so cute together. Elaine, are you really smolder ing that old flame or is it going to be another fire? "Put" sports a beauty of a dia-nond. When's it to be? We arc of the opinion that Bill spends too much time at the C. I., and not for malts and soft drinks. Dedicated to Ray Dabb. Imagine T. A. being true to one man. Believe it or not! At the recent high school carnival a cadet got what he deserved. A certain blonde wolfess got her claws into him, and it took a car and another couple to dislodge her. Also the twelve o'clock cadet curfew helped save him. What was ti that Donna Rae has found so interesting in Salt Lake intrcsting enough to use gas coupons getting there. Have you noticed the number of winter romances that are thaw ing out with the coming of warmer weather or was it the hotter competition?By the way, girls, that good looking red head initialed C. B. is married, and happily, too. In olden days pa called on ma and sat apart like this. And now with Weber knowledge learned Theycuddleuplikethis. Lorna. who is that good looking man "what ya brung" to school with ya? Some of those N. O. gals really carry the weight don't they!!! Strange coincidence that two young pretties just happen to work in the C. I. during "Kadettc Hours." Are those battle sounds we hear coming from the direction of T. K. K. and Chanodo? Seems that a little white flower caused it all. Wonder who'll come out on top. Most commonly heard: "Oh, Jay, vou treat me so mean." "Why- do you go with me?" Well, we're wondering why, too. Wonder just what it is that, no matter what, come . . . high water or snow, entices Margaret B., Marian S Althea A Ruby M., laine S., Nellie June F. and Man- rlnV G. out onto the lawn every dayabout THAT time? Virginia Lee, why donclia Summer Silhouette... CRISP CHINTZ . . . This summer chintz dress modeled by Shirley Burrows features the new and decidedly cool cap sleeve, and fashionable floral panels. Smart models of summer chintz and print dress can be found in all sizes at L. R. Samuels Store. LaDianaeda La Dianaeda officers for the 1944-45 school season were announced at the final banquet held at Ede's Place on Monday, May 29. Girls chosen to officiate during the coming school year are Ivy McEntire, president; Opal Hone, vice president; Jean Marshall, secretary; Lucille Larson, treasurer; and Maurlne G a m-mell, reporter. Table decorations and place cards were of the Ivy McEntire traditional navy blue and white motif. The evening was cl:naxed with the singing of the club song. La Dianaeda goddesses have actively participated in Weber sports competing in such tournaments as volley ball, base ball, squash, and swimming. Several outstanding club a t h 1 e tes have developed muscles and endurance through participation in Intramurals. Easter week, the traditional La Dianaeda week, was celebrated this year with the club as- :. semly, "A Hitchhike to the High- Joanne Smith lights," and an alumnae breakfast. The Crystall ballroom of the Hotel Ben Lomond was the scene of the alumnae breakfast or. Easter morn. Sixty-five La Dianaeda members attended this annual event. Activities of the spring quarter have been slumber parties, and a horseback riding party. Club members endured the usual stiffness that follows a horseback ride by an amateur horse-woman. At the close of a successful school year, it is with regret that the sophomore girls bid farewell to La Dianaeda activities. Sophomore leaders graduating this year are: Joanne Smith, president; Betty Lou Lamoreaux, vice president; Maxine Elliott, secretary: Shirley Linford, treasurer; and Lois Carver, reporter. The departing members wish the remaining La Dianaeda goddesses luck and success in the 1944-4S school year. Maxine Elliott. bring that dream lieutenant of yours out where we can all view him? By the by. Matt, just what are you working for? We agree that teacher is an "apple," but since when have you been taking "girl's gym?" Well, another Chanodo gal has got her man, congratulations and loads of happiness, Marianne. And here we thought that Ruth Barlow was the bashful type . . . maybe bashful tactics are the kind that gets them now-a-days. Well, what's his name, Ruth, or Is that a six-foot, brunette, military secret?And then there is that lovely little menace. Miss Jones. Make up your mind gal. is it Bill H. Matt G., Chuck M., Paul C Jay O., Otto S., Johnny G. Kofe. or Dean McG? The Sign Post had no scandal sheet And here's the reason true: Those whose names got in were mad And thl se who didn't were. too. By Luke. Yours truly, THE SUFER SNOOFER. Chanodo Officers for the school season of 1944-45 were inaugurated at the Chanodo final banquet held May 30, in the Cobble Cottage tearoom. Those holding the positions are Ann Taylor, pres-ident; Elaine Rundquist, vice president; Lois Bitton, secretary; Lujean Putnam, t r e a Si urer; and Bonnie Decker, reporter. Beige and green, Chanodo's club colors, were used to carry out the friendship Ann Taylor motif. Banquet Chairman, Lois Bitton, presented each graduating sophomore member with a beige leather compact in appreciation for the work these members have done this year. Chanodo's proj ect for this quarter has been to keep the cookie jar at the Canteen ful for servicemen going through Ogden. Twenty-one members and two pledges are to be congratulated for the success of this project.Tiny Easter bonnets dec orated the tables at the EasterDonna Rae Jones banquet held at Jim's Cafe. Traditional Chanodo candles were burned for the present members and alumnae and special tribute was paid to the deceased Jean Wheeler. The affair was concluded with the club song, Chanodo, The Knot. Taking their place among spring uniforms, the Chanodo prints caught the attention of Weber college students. Recently the unaffiliated (with men) of Chanodo's members were reduced by two when Marianne Hickenlooper married Rulon Call and Lujean Putnam received a diamond ring from Renald McFarland. The present ranks were swelled, however, with the admittance of two pledges, Ruth Belnap and Dorothy Lemon. All members were present for the annual club picture taken by Gene Wright. Honored at a tea held at the home of Ann Herdti, May 7, were the mothers of Chanodo girls. Each mother was presented with the traditional Chanodo gardenia. Entertainment consisted of music furnished by Ruth Belnap and her mother. Those members graduating are Donna Dae Jones, president; Ann Herdti, vice president. Bonnie Clay, secretary; Barbara Singleton, treasurer: Marjorie Merrill, reporter.Immediately following Vest week and graduation exercises, the club will adjourn to the mountain home of President Donna Rae Jones for, a well deserved vacation. Marjorie Merrill. Letter to Editor Dear Editor: Intramurals among tie boys have been practically nil this year at Weber. But this is not due to the shortage of males as there were plenty for such sports as baseball, tennis, horseshoes, and ping pong. The blame, therefore, must fall on the head of that department. We hope that next year sees a more extensive intramural program for both boys and girls as the students are very much interested in it. BILL HINDS. By Joan Allred The spring issue of Scribulus brings to a close a year of what might have been merely a gallant struggle to carry on with "literary activities as usual" had the editor, staff and advisor been less competent. A diminishing student body has necessitated their wandering farther afield than ever before in a search for contributors, and with gratifying results. The magazine contains material submitted by naval cadets and Weber alumni (both war-worker and fighting-man varieties) as well as those earnest ones still pursuing an education. The issue opens and rightly with Barnstormer, a short story by-Pat Jurgens. She is a colorful radical whom editor and students have come to watch with interest as a creator of clever literary thisa and thata. Barnstormer shows up to advantage her talent for facile dialogue in the Damon Runyan manner, and her command of golfing terms almost fools her best friends into thinking she spends her time on the links studying tournament golf. A slightly too-stock plot is relieved by the intro duction of humor in the form of a fat barnstormer who gets what's coming to him just in time to save the story from oozing into a syrup of sentiment. Characters are deftly drawn, and Pat drives the story through a neat nine holes with hardly any hooks. Two-Headed Dog Wolfgang, James Engle's essay, leaves the reader feeling that something new and overpowering has invaded the pages of Scribu-lous. Just what is debatable. Anyhow, Wolfgang the two-headed dog is a fascinating personality and his fans are looking forward to an account of his further adventures. Naval cadets are represented by Cadet James R. Lewis, whose two verses, You, and At Ease indicate a variety of interest and a willingness to profit by material at hand. Valeta Purrington's verse tribute to Weber college, Alma Mater, shows careful workmanship and a sincere feeling for her subject. The reader feels, however, that the effect might have been stronger if Valeta had not set her dignified sentiments to the brawling rhythms of Sandburg's Chicago a device which gives an impression of parody. Warpaint, an article by Beatrice Markham, is an interesting and original approach to the subject of art's application to the psychology of a nation. Nellie June Farnsworth, in her short story, The Show-off, manages to present rather a convincing little picture of life built on what is a slight and rather moralistic plot. Found Love Defiance, a story by Shirley Mills, introduces the tragedy of an intelligent but unattractive girl who thinks that she has found love, only to meet with frustration. Shirley, as we expected, handles her main character with sensitivity and understanding and brings her plot to a strong climax. Yet several good opportunities for drama were neglected, and the course of events is not always clearly marked. Symphany of Freedom is a misleading title for Ann Taylor's interpretive biography. There is nothing particularly symphonic about it, and freedom, except for intervals of spasmodic flagwaving, exists for Mack, her chief character, in a purely personal and promiscuous sense. The composition is vigorous and rather amusingly done, but too often spoiled by coyness. Jennings Olson present: a well-composed editorial on the subject of Living Upstairs, which is timely, intelligent, and to the point. The Spring Scribulus is well illustrated with good photographs and drawings by Corporal Billy Johnson. All in all, it is a valuable record of the best things thought up by anybody at Weber during the past quarter. Sophvita Officers for the school season of 1944-45 as announced at the Sophvita final banquet held May 23, are: Marian Stevens, president; Virginia Lee Pohl, vice president; Mell Wardle, secretary; and Muriel Chadick, treasurer.Officers who turned their positions over were Margaret Ann McCracken, pres-ident; Blanche C h a m b e r 1 ain, vice president; Helen Speierman, Marian Stevens secretary: Ruth Hood, treasurer. Miss Wilma Grose acted as club advisor. Held at home of the Mrs. T o 1 m a n, 2828 Brinker, the banquet was very enjoyable. Friendship rings and h a n d k e r chiefs were presented to the graduating members by the junior mem- a bers. The club colors, blue and white, were used in presenting the Margaret Ann farewell motif. McCracken Sophvita members enjoyed a bicycle party held at the home of President Margaret Ann McCracken last month. Working at the Dee hospital in collaboration with Iota Tau Kappa, Sophvita has made a success of their war effort project. The graduates take this oppor- j lunity to wish the junior members good luck in the coming j year. Viginia Lee Pohl. Otyokwa Dick's cafe was the scene of the final formal banquet honoring the senior members of Otyokwa on May 23. Anounce-ments of the new officers for the school season 1944-45 were as follows: Mary Jean Schott, president; Pat Boyle, vice president; Noretta B 1 a e s, secretary; Connie Jensen, treasurer, Lou Jean Schoffield, r e-porter.Senior m e rubers who turned their offices Mary Jean Schott over were Shirley Burrows, president; Mar Jean Hickman, vice president; Luciel Wright, secretary; Elizabeth Schelin, reporter; and Janice McKay, historian. If, on Easter morning you saw a bevy of beautiful smiling girls entering the Hotel Ben Lomond, it was, in all probability a group of Otyokwa squaws going to their annual Easter breakfast. Delightful place cards and favors in the Easter , motif were pre sented, and the Shirley Burrows center of the table was adorned by spring flowers around which were seated members, old and new, and numerous alumnae. Devotional exercises were entered into at the Institute of Religion. "Come in old peculiar clothes, hair in braids and freckled nose." So read signs dotting the Weber campus, advertising Sadie Hawkins day, an annual event presented by Otyokwa. The ideal spring weather helped to make this man-chasing day a glorious success. Hot dogs, dill pickles, potato chips, and cake were sold. Games, including a treasure hunt, were indulged in at noon. Ivy McEntire was chosen as Sadie Hawkins and she and her court were presented with clever vegetable nosegays. Clubs cooperated by wearing the traditional short jagged skirts, polka dot blouses and bare feet. Everyone was glad to get away from culture for one glorious day. With deep regret and a feeling of homesickness already, the squaws of 1944 bade farewell to the Indian tribe of Otyokwa, to enter the ranks of alumnae. Janice McKay. lota Tau Kappa Iota Tau Kappa's new officers for next year are Luana Collins, president; Betty Klomp, vice pres-ident; Ellen Dame, secretary; Janice McKay, treasurer; and Hyla Robson, reporter.The results of the e 1 e c t i ons were announced at the annual farewell banquet given by the freshman members in the honor nf the dennrt- ing sophomore Luana Collins members. The banquet was held May 11, 1944, in the English room of the Hotel Ben Lomond. Toasts were given to Marian Blair, president of Iota this year; A f t o n Parker, vice president; Vola Wyatt, secretary; Doris Farrell, Nancy Sterling and the club a d v i s er, Miss Alta Hirst. Place cards were Tiny white envelopes with a clever design painted on the outside. A card inside revealed the meaning of each girl's name. The club flower. Marian Blair a beautiful yellow rose made into a small corsage, was presented to each member. The sophomore members were also presented with tiny, colored-glass, animal figurines and a very pretty handkerchief as a tribute of the service they have rendered to the club during the year. They have done a splendid job carrying on the traditions and activities of Iota. The surprise of the evening was the toasting of every member in the club by Marian Bjair and the presentation of book markers and handkerchiefs mono-gramed with Iota's symbol, the vJreath of olives with ITK in the center, in brown. These were a personal gift from Marian. The affair was concluded as the group joined crossed hands, Weber's symbol of friendship, and sang their traditional club song. The members of Iota looked back on this year as a very successful one. Hyla Robson NEW AND OLD ... A. W. S. officers pause for a final Signpost shot.

Timpanogus Cave Site of Annual Geology Trip Forty-two students of the Geology and Geography department went on a field trip to Timpanogus cave. Arriving at the camping grounds situated at the foot of the mountain, they all began the long, steep, one-hour hike. Reaching the mouth of the cave, hot and tired, they recuperated by drinking fresh cool water, drawn from the interior of the cave. After crawling and slipping through the half-mile-long cave, Betty Klomp was pleased to find that "Timpanogus cave was formed when ground water, containing carbon dioxide and organic matter in solution percolated down through joints and brecciated zones along normal faults in Mis-sissippian limestone, disolving the calcite and carrying part of it away and depositing the rest as stalagtites, stalagmites, and halict-ites, beginning in Plaicine when American Fork canyon was not as deep as at the present." Forty enthusiastic geologist stood open-mouthed at her observation.Compliments of COMPANY INC-nnDiay JTAH 2444 Washington Blvd. BUY GOOD MEN'S WEAR AT A GOOD MEN'S WEAR STORE |
