Show Page 2 SIGNPOST June 2, 1953 Student Body Prexy Bids WC Farewell By VAL LOFGREEN It seems like only yesterday that I was writing a greeting to the student body and announcing our plans for the year ahead. Since that time, many memorable events have taken place. Freshman Week, Homecoming, our fight for the four-year Weber, our work projects on the new campus, and all the other achievements of the year. Never, during the entire year were we turned down by any individual or organization on anything that we asked them to do. It has been a good year, not because of any individual or small group, but because we have worked together as "one big, happy family". We've been given many laurels this year, but we have earned every one of them. In the face of budget cuts to nearly every organization in the state this year, Weber was treated very favorably, largely due to the harmony it exhibits. It gives one a feeling of nostalgia to be reminded that this will be the last class to occupy the old campus. Next year is especially important to Weber College because of the switch to a new campus, and it is up to this year's frosh to take good care of Weber College and to see that it maintains the high standards that have prevailed over the years. It seems fitting that I express to all of my friends at Weber my sincerest appreciation for the privilege and honor I have had of serving you during the past year, and wish each of you success and happiness wherever the future may direct your footsteps. Student Officers Earn Appreciation The students and faculty of Weber College would like to thank the outgoing student body officers for a wonderful job they have done for us during the 1952-53 school year. Our officers have fought tirelessly during long, hard hours to keep the students happy and Weber College on top. When President Dixon presented financial problems of the college to the legislature, it was the student body officers who assisted him in persuading the legislators that we needed more money as well as the wonderful turnout of the students themselves. We would say just this: It was a job well done. And we hope the new officers can do as good a job as the outgoing officers have done. We trust they will follow the fine example of their predecessors. Clair Combe. Campus Workday Rated Best Day We wish to commend the people in charge of the student body workday. It was well organized, well leadered and well executed. We have never seen so many ambitious, zealous, hard working kids on a civic job before. Though we had blisters on our hands and on our feet, sunburned backs and faces, sandy shoes (might as well have gone barefooted), sagebrush scented levis, headaches, backaches and such, we consider working up there that day morally and physically strengthening. It was the best event of the year. N Bob Draney. Pan and Praise Yhat's That You're Saying, Bub? Signpost: I wish to tell you that Weber College has been an excellent school to attend. There are girls here? Where? And that's what most of the male sex is interested in. The teachers have been very hard on the students, also, and I think since the Republicans are firing everyone else, they shouldn't omit Weber College. Likewise the clubs here at Weber are fine, if feeling toward one another doesn't count. Thank you. Larry Ray. We thought we had you fixed up the other time on this girl question you're still yowling on the back fence about. These Weber femmes are a lot slower than we thought, else don't read our lovelorn comments. You a handsome boy, too. Concerning the difficult times that result from taking classes, they could happen anywhere, under almost any instructor. Aw, come on now, the clubs are all right. Signpost : While serving with the United States army in Korea. I dreamed of a time when I would be among the students attending a wonderful school in an independent country. It is a wonderful feeling to have such a freedom loving country as this to come home to. My dreams have become a reality instead of remaining a fancy. Yes. Mr. Editor, it is great to be back again and participating in activities with such fine students and capable instructors as we have at Weber College. Davis S. Oda. We have much to be grateful for, Davis, as you point out. Signpost: Graduation? Well to some it will be Graduation Day. To others, however, it will be a day of disaster. To the sophomores who have been "gold bricking" and "letting it ride." it will be a day of reckoning when they get turned down for graduation. To the draft eligible graduates, it will be a day of well, you name it. To the freshmen, all we can do is bow our heads in prayer. But, in spite of it all. all that we, the graduates of 1953. can do is smile, tip our caps and say, "That's over." Kaz Teramoto. So they are really graduating you, Kaz. Signpost: A question has risen in my mind concerning the new campus. A j number of the classes will still be held at the old campus, such as the gym classes, and I would like to know how students will be Leaders Elected For 1953 Student Posts Student officers elected for next school year were announced Monday by the offices of the dean of women and the dean of men, exclusive of the chief student body officers, announced in an earlier issue of the school paper. The officers for next year will be: Associated Men Students: Jay Anderson, president; Robert Francis, vice president; Bert Hewlett, secretary. Associated Women Students: Noma Allen, president; Pat Edgely, vice president; Gayle Cul-limore, secretary.

Whip Club: Marian Rhees, president; Marian Peterson, vice president; Barbara Tucker, secretary; Joyce Bodily, treasurer; Carol Parker, reporter; Marilyn Green, historian. who is to pay for this transportation? Will the school have buses, or will city buses be hired? George Prawitt. The school may have an answer for this that will be satisfactory to you. Just as a guess in the dark, however, we would say that city buses will be hired by you. Signpost: I think that the recent awards assembly is an event that should receive some commendation. I believe it is only deserving that the people who have gained honor in certain fields should be brought before the student body and given the recognition due them. The assembly was well planned and I think that we should say "hats off" to the awards committee. Ralph Ingebretsen. While we are talking about it, Ralph, how about an awards assembly for the faculty members who step in when the students who have assumed responsibility "forget about it" and spend the weekend in New York or Layton or some remote metropolis like that? Signpost: I would like to compliment all those who participated in and organized intramural sports in our school. The recent track meet and Softball tournament show the interest in intramurals that justifies this effort. Art Van Drimmelen. Address yourself to Andy when handing out thornless roses about intramurals. Clubs and other organizations are the strong supporters of the sports within these walls. j For- I Stationery, Greeting j : Cards and School j I Supplies ... ! i See ! j Weber Office I !
