Show VOLUME XVIII Geology Trip Plans Now Completed For Spring Quarter The geology and geography classes (and the rest of the school is invited, too), under leadership of Walter Buss, have two big field trips planned during April and May. The first trip is the annual Zion and Bryce Parks trip. This four day journey will begin on April 29, and end May 2. If snow conditions warrant, the South Rim of Grand Canyon will be included. Although the main purpose of these trips is to acquaint students with the Southern Utah areas, loads of fun can be had. The students camp out at night, equipped with sleeping bags and such camping equipment deemed necessary. Some food is brought along from Ogden, but most of it is bought in Cedar City. Busses Leave at 6 Travel will be by Moss Transportation Company. The busses will leave Weber College at 6:00 a. m. on the 29th. It is expected that at least 100 students will go on this, the 16th annual trip. The second trip will take place some one or two weeks later. This one will be to Southeastern Utah and over towards the Four Corners country. Travel will be by car, and the excursion will take some four to six days. This trip isn't as big as the Zion-Bryce trip, but at least 30 students are expected to go. Travel is by car, because busses can't get into the rough country. Several Routes There are several possible routings on the South-Eastern trip. One is to take in Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon, Royal Gorge, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, and Arches. The second would include Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon, Ouray and Silverton (old Colorado mining camps), Mesa Verde, and Arches. Third possibility is to tour Arches, Mesa Verde, Four Corners, and Monument Valley. Fourth possibility is Mesa Verde, Monument Valley (might stay overnight), Arches, and Grand Canyon. Cost for each of the trips will be approximately five dollars per day. AH students who are interested are urged to contact Mr. Buss in WC-107 right away. By the way, in case you don't know, these trips are open to both sexes. Geodtscipulus Club The Weber College Geodiscipu-lus club is also planning several trips over the summer months. The "C club is composed of Weber Collepe students, ex-students and townspeople. The first trip will be over the Memorial Day weekend. It is proposed to visit either Circle Cliffs, Capital Reef, or Goblin Valley. The second trip is a hiking trip to Zion National Monument over the July 4 weekend. The ten days before Labor Day in early September, the club will go to one of three places. They are the Black Hills, Piles Peak, or Stanley Basin Sun Valley area. Further information can be obtained from Mr. Buss. J Some Good Eggs! Ed St. Clair, Lois MacDonough, Audri Montgomery, Kaye McDonald, and Ken Hull Represent a bunch of eggs from "Ye Olde Signposte." IS THERE AN EASTER BUNNY? To obtain a suitable answer to this vital question of the day, our roving reporter decided to ask the "intellectuals" of the campus for their authoritative opinions. Naturally the students who were chosen were members of the Signpost staff. Sally Powell "Sure, there's an Easter Bunny. And if you really don't think so, you'd better not admit it because he'll stop bringing those baskets filled with goodies and wrapped in lavender cellophane papier and pink ribbon." Kaye McDonald "The Easter Bunny would be the greatest invention since man if I could make my folks believe that I am still a believer." Sally Colohan "Naturally there's an Easter Bunny! What else could that long-eared, fluffy-tailed animal appearing every Easter be but the Easter Bunny?" George Davlantes "No, but I believe in two Easter Bunnies, because when two bunnies get together you know what happens. (Lots of little Easter Bunnies and eggs)." Audrey Montgomery "Definitely! It's like Santa Claus and the devil. It's your old man. Really, though, the Easter rabbit stands as a sort of Fairy Godfather to little kids who like to believe that animals talk and live like humans." Ken Hull "The consequence to this exquisite and intriguing interest inquiry casts me to the solemn past, to when my dear father down by the basement chimney answered to me the same question, explain APRIL 9, 1954 OGDEN, UTAH Z3 ing and as he sadly informed me, "no." (Huh? I'll swear that's the way he handed it to me . . . maybe you'd better forget what I said about intellectuals.) Ed St.Clair "Do I believe in the Easter Bunny? This can be answered by asking a question. Have you ever seen a chicken lay blue, red, green, purple, or chocolate eggs?" (If you keep that up Ed, you'll have me believing that there isn't one either.) Lois McDonough "Is there an Easter Bunny? Well, Tve been going to school for almost thirteen years, and I have never yet had a teacher tell me that there isn't an Easter Bunny, so I guess there really must be one. Besides, who else could leave all those eggs and chocolate bunnies we find on Easter morning?" Barbara Roberts "Twas when I was a little kid, And my nose was runny. I didn't know, like others did That there was no Easter Bunny. I've been told I'm not too smart, And they all called me a "dummy" It just about broke my heart To find there was no Bunny. Marilyn Arnold "I base my conclusions on documented proof from Burgess" 'Bedtime Stories' and a cartoon that I sa wonce with an Easter Bunny in it. There must be an Easter Bunny, the Russians probably invented him though, like everything else, or Gene Autry wouldn't say there was. Just one question, though, which came first, the Easter Bunny or the Easter egg?" Those who are in a position to know have spoken. We now leave you to draw your own conclusions.

LaDianaeda Makes Permanent Home For Traveling Cup The final race is on for a try by the Weber social clubs for the Traveling Scholarship Trophy presented yearly to the club with the highest scholastic standing. Elijah A. Larkin of the Larkin Mortuary provides this trophy, for the purpose of stimulating better scholarship within the clubs on campus. Any club winning this trophy for three years in succession is proclaimed permanent owner of the trophy. So this year's trophy will be a shiny, new cup because La Dianaeda lucked out for three years in a row. Speculation is that there will be a different resting place for the new trophy this year. XUMBER 11 Wft(s Rfiardi Gra ig Event At College You haven't seen anything, kiddies, till you've taken in this year's sensational Mardi Gras to be sponsored by the student body and clubs.

These awards will also be made as part of the show. Assisting Hadley to get things going is Jack Allen plus club representatives and student-body officers.Hadley said funds raised will be used to help build the student union building on the new campus. Bal Et Dine The annual dinner dance, sponsored by the social committee was held last Friday evening in the college ballroom. The name of the dance was "Bal et Dine", and it had a French theme. The theme was carried out with miniature Eiffel Towers on all the tables and a large one behind the band stand. The tables were arranged around the outside of the dance floor, thus resembling a sidewalk cafe in Paris. They were enclosed by a small picket fence at the base of street lamp posts, with colored streamers as an artificial awning over them. French food, including pastries, was served. The intermission entertainment was furnished by Bob VanWagnen, a vocalist, and the "Four Tops", a boys' quartet composed of Weber High School students. Val Green and his orchestra furnished the dance music. We wish to thank Bruce String-ham, chairman of the social committee, and Marilyn Moyes, head of decorations and her assistant, Nancy Frazier, and the rest of the committee who made the affair a great success. i |
