Lewis Despite the fact that our unit at Weber college has been under way since April, 1943, there are many of you who are still a bit in the dark as to our purpose and activities. As aspiring naval aviators this is but the second phase in a long road which, traveled successfully, will eventually earn a coveted pair of gold wings. It is by no means the final stage of our syllabus, but its unquestionable value is or has been relatively indispensable. Greatest proof of this fact was evidenced during the crucial period in which the navy found itself without adequate facilities and personnel to provide the vast quota of pilots which the program demanded. However, with our losses in all theaters where naval aviation was active remaining far below what was anticipated, the demand for pilots has reached a point of stability, which naturally lessens the need for such a wide-spread training program. In addition, this gradual lull has given sufficient time for the navy to provide its own instructors and facilities. Gain Social Life The revised schedule will soon go into effect all over the nation and with it will go the W T S activity here in Ogden. That the action is wise, we are certain; but for the cadets who will miss W T S training we have a certain sympathy. It has truly been enjoyable and we have gained, in addition to our scheduled classes, much benefit from the social life on the campus in which we have been able to participate on numerous occasions. The ground school instruction we receive here consists of navigation, aerology, recognition, civil air regulations, engines, code and physical training all taught by civilian instructors who we feel do an excellent job. At the airport, where half our day is spent, we are taught fundamentals and techniques in the control of aircraft by civilian instructors, now in reserve, who will be on active duty with the army or navy at the conclusion of this activity. Fine Officers For many years it has been the boast of naval aviation that they Leaders... Busy Club Year . . . By Shirley Cunnington When the bright red and gold sun sinks beneath the purple western horizon, girls clad in levis and plaid shirts, and hair that hangs in straight locks down their backs, derived from Miss Welling's two o'clock swimming class, can be seen darting in and out of the Moench building to the Central, and crossing over to the gym. Each girl has a variety of colored paints and a brush. One after another 'corny" signs spring up around the campus signs campaigning for the best girl to fulfill the office; and it's strange how every club wants a different girl. But this is not something new and unusual it has gone on for years, and I suppose campaigns between clubs will continue just as they are for that is only typical of Weber college, and the coeds who contribute to its daily phenomenon. How could anyone ever think of Weber without remembering the sparkling smiles of the La Dianaeda goddesses clothed in navy blue and white; the small patches of T. K. K. girls in red and white uniforms flirting with navy cadets: the flaming golden torch pin on the navy blue suit of a Sophvita sea nymph; the dry wit of the kins, Althea Andelin, Lois Bitton, Florence White, Kathryn Ingre-bretsen Marilyn Taylor, Melba Barker, Dorene Boothe, Marianne H.

The fir t part of the evening was spent finding out which of the pledges were men and which were not. This feat was accomplished by sending them over the obstacle course at a fast pace. They were also privileged to duck-walk around the park constantly being urged on by the members and their paddles. A race was then held to find out who could run the fastest. A series of two hits from every member of the club was administered to each succeeding placement in the race, the winner receiving none. After this, refreshments were served to the pledges by the members. These consisted of raw eggs, lard and cocoa, bicarbonate of soda and lemon mixed, and a sandwich of lard, mustard and cocoa. Each member was then christened into the club with lard on his hair and a raw egg broken on his head. He was then led blindfolded into the pond on the north side of the campus. The members completing the frivolous were Verl Grazer, Ray Dabb, Darrel Stuart, Vern Nielson, Rio Yamamoto, LaMar Soelberg and Glen Eklund. possessed the "cream of the crop" and if our officers, Lieutenant Brandin, Lieutenant Adams and Lieutenant Prentiss, are typical of the officers with whom we will be associated, we can readily see why such a boast has been made. As the termination of our stay draws nearer for many of us, we feel a sincere regret in leaving a city which has been hospitable to us in every manner and one in which we have had many good times. In trying to uphold the fine record of personal conduct and tradition which our predecessors have established, we find it to be a criterion which can be met only with considerable effort. We hope that if we have caused any comments among citizens here that they have been favorable, for we have perhaps one of the finest organizations of its kind in the world and we are certain that Weber college is proud to have been able to play such an instrumental part in helping. Please accept our thanks. Otyokwa squaws gathering in little green and white groups in the C.

Even Ogden city will remember your effoits of service: the cake sale of Otyokwa in J. C Penney; the weekly visits of Iota and Sophvita to the hospital; the pies left by Tiki at the USO; arid the never-empty cookie jar at the canteen filled by Chanodo. Rush Parties and Teas Let us reminisce back to the first of October, 1943. There were rush parties and teas, crowned with an exasperating "hell week," frivolous and initiation. There were those exciting packages at all Christmas parties. Slumber parties were popular then at least parties where slumber was to have taken place. Remember the Friendship banquet sponsored by Otyokwa, and those large red hearts? Then recall the traditional Easter breakfasts held by each club at Hotel Ben Lomond, or the Cobble Cottage, or at someone's home. Oh, and we can't forget those long weary hours wrapped up in original assemblies: "Valentines Today and Yesterday," given by Chanodo; "What a Time," a vaudeville of Otyokwa; the "Hitch-Hike to the Highlights," of La Dianaeda; "Kalendar Kapers," by Tiki Kapa Kapa; "The Woman in the Shoe," a tale of Iota Tau Kappa; "Gastronomical Extravaganza," by Sophvita, and the cakes, candy, do-nuts, and scrapbooks received as gifts. When Sadie Hawkin's day rolled around, everyone responded clad in her most obnoxious garb and participated in a hunt for 'treasure'.Recognition Banquet In our "books of memory" we must include the thrilling moments at the A. W. S. girl's dance; the Bond Drive; the "Miss Talent" contest; Charm and Print Dress weeks; and the beautiful A. W. S. Recognition banquet; for they are a part of coed life too. We must remember the exciting W. A.

A wiener roast following the baseball games attracted a group of hungry Weberites. Baseball Games and Food Appeal to Picnickers By Iran Watts There is no question in anybody's mind that everyone had a grand time at the annualFreshman-Sophomore outing held last Friday at the Ogden Stake picnic grounds in Southfork canyon. The entire student body must have turned out for there was a bigger attendance than there has been for several years. For a while during the afternoon it looked as though there would be no outing; the weather was cloudy and slightly rainy, but it cleared up at 5:30 and the sun shone warmly. The first group of students arrived at 6:00 with others following closely and finally terminating with the last bus load at 7:00 or a little after. They lost no time in getting things rolling and there were soon three red hot Softball games going on. Several of the boys were throwing the football around and others went hiking. With regard to one of the ball gams in which Dee Linford and Chuck Espy were participants, I should like to say that these two did some mighty tall stretching of the truth at times. The fact that they were oponents didn't stop the professor from siding in with Dee on various "close" decisions which were really not close at all. Dee may have been paying Espy, but this supposition was not investigated as Dee's team lost anyway, through no fault of the latter, however. Dee was also continually arguing with Beverly Felt at third base. Toward the end of the game, said instructor got rather hungry and deserted his teammates for nourishment. Later in the evening he had the nerve to ask if we had missed him. That was too much! Along about 8:30 when the pangs of hunger became too great, the you contributed in making a winner of your club. Now, as this school year draws to a close, we are thinking of the future. Some of us are thinking of new club members, new school officers, and new horizons filled with shining hope and glorious activity. Others are sailing away into new world's, and we will have to look back on the past and live over these wonderful moments: It's quite a line, isn't it if you remember everything that has happened this year? We are not asking you to remember everything just remember how you felt inside, how dignified and wonderful it is to have friends, and how much this college is a part of you for you, and you, and all of you have left your mark at Weber. ball games were dispensed with and everyone gathered around the camp fire to roast weanies. The food was very good, but due to the unexpected large crowd there was a slight shortage. However, no one went hungry as there were plenty of donuts if nothing else. After eating we all gathered around the fire and listened to several read ings given by Jean Binnie, a ghost story told by Dr. Petty which had everyone on pins and needles, and a song by the trio, Betty Lou Lamoreaux, Betty Peterson, and Blanche Chamberlain, all of which were very entertaining. The whole group then joined in the songs until 10:00, at which time Ralph Kofoed stumbled to the center of the circle and announced that the busses were only hired until ten and it was now that time. This broke up the party and everyone left for home, feeling well pleased with the enjoyable evening. Thanks . . . With the ending of this school year, I wish to extend my whole hearted thanks for the coopera tion of all club reporters in writing articles for the society page. They should be commended for the wonderful job they have done with the publishing of each issue Always dependable, always on time, neatly typewritten articles in good newspaper style. May the society editor of next year have as much cooperation and fun in putting out the page as I have had. Ann Taylor.

Weber Couples Go Picnicking In South Fork By Bill Hinds There has been a very noticeable decline in outdoor activities thic spring at Weber. The specific point I wish to bring out is that there has been a definite shortage of picnics this spring. In fact, the freshman-sophomore outing was the only one scheduled which is indeed short of the desired number wanted. The other day some of the students became impatient and embarked on a picnic of their own. These students just couldn't shake the urge to get out of doors and enjoy mother nature at her best. They decided to miss a day of school which they didn't think would matter as the quarter was about over anyway. The fact that test week was coming up soon didn't seem to bother them in the least. They gathered topether what thty thought was a very complete and well-packed lunch and left for Patio. Horseback Riding Upon arriving they discovered that it was not open so they set out for South Fork where they decided to do a little horseback riding. After two hours of bouncing and groaning they called it quits and dropped down to the South Fork picnic grounds where they proceeded to lay out the well-packed lunch. It was then that they discovered absence of plates, mustard and several other small items, but they made the best of it by tearing off pieces of paper in which the weinies were wrapped in and used them for plates. As for mustard, they went without. This made the hot dogs rather dry eating but hunger overcame this minor detail and the food was successfully disposed of, especially the potato salad which the girls had made. This left them in need of a little exercise so they went wading in the river. The water was swell, only 10 degrees below freezing, and getting warmer all the time. By now it was getting rather late so they decided to call It a day. The fun they had was immeasurable and brought out the dire necessity for much more like it. There is more enjoyment in a picnic than any other amusement. Gas shortage is no excuse as is evidenced by th'e many people who go picnicking every week-end so next year we hope to see more picnics scheduled. were: Maxine Eliot-chairman, Bob Croft, Jim Bateman, Lorna Grix, and Ruth Belnap. A business meeting will be held soon at which time officers for the coming year will be elected. AND CARPET CO. the Friendly Doors |
