This quarter we should work harder because the more we learn the more there is to learn. This we must keep in consideration as a New Year's resolution, "we should not have the feeling that we know all the answers." Presidents, statesmen, and other outstanding men of the world today, as great as they may be, make mistakes also." They, too, are subject to hard experiences of life in running the economical and social activities of the world. Your fob in making a happier and prosperous New Year is to take an active part in your community, church, and social work. This not only makes a country stronger but it also helps you to obtain a better philosophy of life, to make marriages happier, and others feel the power you have. Make this New Year a happier year by taking the initiative of doing what you think is right. como esta usted? r6S0lV6 Los Viajeros really spread the Christmas spirit during the holidays. Thirteen Mexican families were the receivers of boxes of food, candy and toys donated by club members and local merchants.At each house, carols were sung in Spanish and then we were off on a wild!! ride to the next house. Afterward we went to North Ogden and broke the pinata, played, games and ate hot chili at Audri's house. New officers have been elected for winter quarter. They are John Beus, president; Anne Brown, vice president; Ron In-galls, secretary-treasurer and Audri Montgomery,reporter-historian. Happy New Year to all from Los Viajeros and adios till next timet ladianaeda Another quarter is well underway after a very successful holiday season. A terrific party was given by the pledges for the members at the Nebeker home. A program, games, and refreshments highlighted the evening. Several parties with Phoenix were filled with excitment. Games, ice skating (except for a few bruses) and food all made for a thrilling time. We were very happy to have some of our alumni back to enjoy our good times. Have you ever played football on ice skates? The pledges were very cooperative during Hell Week. They did a very splendid job of cleaning the Home Ec. kitchen, helping the polio drive, and cooperating with unsympathic members. Ask any pledge they'll tell you. Keep up the good work L. D. alpha rho toss "pink ladies" in snow On the cool, brisk evening of December 30th, the blue and white knights doned their warmest garb and joined the "pink ladies" in a gay bob-sled ride. Two lively prancing horses pulled each sled which was adron-ed with a jolly group of people signing gleeful tunes. When the crowd grew short of warmth and songs they jumped into waiting cars and were promptly rushed to the cozy lodge at snowbasin. Sally Colohan Each year about this time the holiday spirit induces an overbalanced sense of rightousness and in a weak moment we set certain standards for the coming year. said standards usually lacking sense of proportion, generally dating back to the Victorian era, impossible to abide by and going under the time honored heading of NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS. While some are made in all sincerity and will be adhered to with all the formality of an English Coronation (till January 9th) the majority are cast aside the morning of January 1st with the pointed hats-which in an amazing number of instances fit. So with due warning these seem to be the prevailing winds for '54: Ray Frost: Don't make them 'cuz I can't keep them. Ann Howell: Lose weight and get skinny! Bob Francis: Bring.. Ann Knight a cookie every day. (?) Francis Dean: Sing church songs during hell week. Mary Lynn Giles: Haveo-od-les and gobs of boy friends! Audri Montgomery: Knit a pair of argyles. Margene Pulsipher: Fill my hope chest. Janet Rhees: Have millions (something like o-odles and gobs) of fun this quarter. (With two labs??) Gus Lou: Blank??? But the Sharmeans were in for a shock. The first game played was called "toss the girls in the snow" and all the "pink ladies" Darticipated in the sport. The third time Ann Howell was thrown in she lost a lens out of her glasses and spend the rest of the night trying to find it in a-bout fifty acres of snow. When the men had devoured some splendid Sharmean food the two clubs tried to dance to some "Belgian Congo" music and some new steps were derived. The Alpha Rhovians wish to thank their sister club for being such good sports. Election time rolled around a-gain for the Alpha Rhovians and their "fixed" ballots gave the following results: "Wild" Bill Murdock, president; "Champ" Doug Middleton vice-president; "Chester" Fields, secretary; and "Tame" Bill Underwood, treasurer. Jim Anderson issergeant-at-arms. Freshmen officers were also elected and Billy Bell came in as president with Dick Bel-nap in charge of Vice. hellweek by sally powell In order to meet deadlines I am writing this story a week before Hell Week has even happened. But, from what I am able to find out Hell Week will take on a new angle this year. Plans are that the fellows of all the clubs will combine into one group of a day and paint a house as a special service to the community. " The girls will do service duties around the campus one day. Dexter Farr tells me that in the olden days kids used to go through all kinds of Torture like scrubbing fire hydrants with toothbrushes and wearing gunny sack undershirts. The worst part of all was the terrible costumes the poor girls used to rig up in. I can remember when Sharmea made their pledges dress like bakers and the gals had to walk a-round with fresh eggs and a bowl of cookies for everybody to eat. This sounds harmless, but did you ever try to carry books and go to class when you're trying to" keep eggs from breaking and cookies from falling out of a bowl all at the same time? Otyokwa Teepes Otyokwa made their pledges dress like teepes last year. When you saw a big hulking mass strub-bling down the hall with sticks coming out of the top and legs on the bottom you know it was a papoose. LaDianeda pledges had to dress like flappers. Of all the styles that have been inflicted upon the American woman, the flapper age was the most impossible. You can imagine the effect of having gals running around school dressed in skirts up to the knees and waist lines down to the. knees. All of this may sound amusing but is was the most embar-rasing, distracting thing that can on the agenda Suiata and Asoka, the great dancing team of India, will make their appearance in the Ogden High School Auditorium on the night of Jan. 19 in a program entitled, "Superb Dancing of India and Tibet". Also coming up on the Lecture and Artist Series will be Bennett Cerf, publisher, humorist, columnist and panelist on T. V.'s "What's My Line". His subject for the evening of January 30 will be "Modern Trends in Literature and Kumor." The Utah Symphony Orchestra coming to Ogden High School on January 18, will be the first of the community concert series since winter quarter has begun. Maurice Abravanel will be conducting.In the same week on Thursday, January 21, Michael Rabin the sensational young violinist will perform at the Ogden High School at 8:30 p.m. Only 18, he has already been acclaimed by by critics as one of the finest performers on the violin. takes on ever happen to a gal. During that one week it was nearly impossible to concentrate in class because everybody was so worried about the way they looked. Teachers would nearly cry their eyes out every time one of those monstrosities walked into their classes; and rightly so, because could you imagine teaching biology to a teepee? I can remember Dr. Young telling me that the reason it was called Hell Week was because it was Hell for the teachers to look at the kids. On its way out It looks like all of that old stuff is on its way out and thank goodness for small favors. Instead of all that playing around we really saw some good results during this week. I, for one, say "thanks" to whoever it was who suggested the change. I. d. s. news It's good to be back in school again and enjoy the hustle of student life. Those of you, (pledges) who have not completed your requirements for membership, please get in touch ' with one of the officers. Remember that Friday-15, at noon in the Institute, you can order your Lambda Delta Sigma Sweaters. Sunday, 17th of January at 9 p. m. will be our Initiation Ceremony for all fall quarter Institute. The members, as well as the new pledges are invited to attend this ceremony, pledges. It will be held in the L. D. S. also wishes the basketball team good luck in the coming games, -and a special good luck to Gary Jesperson and Curtis Van Alfen. Lambda Delta Sigma is very proud of them. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet has been chosen by John Kelly as the Summer Theatre play for the winter quarter. It will be presented during the week of February 22 in the cellar theatre.Many new-comers to local drama circles along with Ogden's favorite thespians are making their appearances this season with the Ogden Community-Weber College Theatre, to be presented February 11-13. According to director Thatcher Allred, new names that will appear on the program of "The Perefect Alibi," an exciting mys-. tery play to be presented in March, will be Allen Va Dyke, Maurice Fawcett, Isaac Campbell, Janet Allen, Gwen Laren, Ronald Ingalls, L. M. Hilton, Amos Sergent, and Dick Slater, well known actors to community theatre goers, have also been named to the cast some of them appearing in major roles. anything goes truce girls! by sig pont The beginning of another quarter and consequently time for another few items in "Anything Goes". t It seems thtat the article on kissing, by yours truly some weeks ago, has been met with mixed reactions, unfortunately none of which were the right ones. The main misconception was that this reporter was panning the very pleasureable passtime of osculatory exercise with the members of the female sex, I received several caustic comments to this effect. I hasten to assure you, good readers, that such was not the case and to show mybi-partisanship, I will now proceed to expose a few of the male types of kisses based on suggestions which I have received. All right you women, "pipe" this. The Rock of Gibralter The first male type is called the Rock of Gibralter. When he puts his arms around you, you feel like you are a victim of the Inquisition. You can't get away, his arms bind you in and if you don't cooperate, you suffocate. I guess that just goes to prove that some things are worse than death. The second type is known as "The Rover Boy" He takes you in his arms, kisses your right eye, your left eye, the tip of your nose, your right cheek and then ... he suddenly remembers his research theme and gives you a not-too-short outline of the whole thing. The Dive Bomber The next type we call "The Dive Bomber". As the name implies this joker doesn't waste any time at all. He moves in hard and fast and his belief is based on a geometrical law: A straight line is the shortest distance between two points. A word of caution here . . . when you go out with this type it might be well to make sure that neither of you have buck teeth because you come up against another law . . something to do with an irresitable force meeting an immovable object. Sloppy Sam The last type is called "Sloppy Sam." The name is self explant-tory, so we will just mention him with this bit of advice . . . take a box of Kleenex and a bath towel with you. One other thing to remember ladies while most boys take you in their arms many of them just take you in, so play it cagey. I sincerely hope this puts me back in the good graces of the women on the campus. And now I leave you with this thought. Old governors never die; they just give away ! ! ! Bye now. pres. miller to attend confab By Joyce Parry Pres. William Miller, together with Mrs. Ruth P. Steward, supervisor of Weber College nurses, will attend mettings, held at Teachers College, a branch of Columbia University at New York City, the 12th, 13th, and 14th of this month. This conference has been called to determine how successful the two year nursing program has been and what may be done to improve it. Discussions will center on latest methods in nursing, new techniques, and in comparing, and working out the problem that each school has encountered. Three other schools have participated in this program. They are Farley College, New Jersey; Henry Ford College, Michigan; and Orange College in Middle-town, New York. Enroute home, Mrs. Steward plans to visit hospitals in several important cities to observe the work and methods used. |
