College ballroom on March 3 one of the outstanding events of the year. Dancing to the enchanting music of Johnny Rosell's orchestra, some 200 people enjoyed themselves immensely. Mingling among the many prttty girls in their lovely formals were the blues of the Navy Cadets. According to comments from the Cadets the dance was perhaps the nicest sponsored by the college this ytar. Catching the eye of many a male was Miss Beverly Felt in a flowered formal. Definitely a spring model "Bev" looked as fresh as the well-known daisy. Holding the clost attention of her partner was Miss Mary Louise Williams in a dainty white creation. Setting off her beautiful dark hair and eyes "Mary" seemed a suitable name. A gorgeous lavender gown placed Lujean Putnam in the spotlight of fashion. A matching orchid placed on her shoulder gave her that finishing touch. The beautiful turquoise blue gown against the dark hair and white complexion of Shirley Linford was striking as was the slick black worn by Donna Rae Jones. Flortnce White stepped out in an eye-catching gown of spring flowers and Luana Collins appeared in her ever popular candy stripe. Blanche Chamberlain was striking in a gorgeous red number and Lucille Wright captured many a fickle man's heart in a beautiful white. Gardenias seemed to be the most popular corsage but orchids are still the most favorite. Camellias were numerous but the flower of the evening was Miss Marion Lois Smith. Hailed as the Bond Queen Miss Smith was suitaibly attired in a coronation gown of white lace. Tiny Dantzel McCann looked as enchanting in a dull pink as Dar-lene Nelson did in a dazzling black. Janice McKay was seen leaving the dance in a charming formal jumper of black. The white blouse against Janice's dark hair could be described as "chic." The beautiful dresses are too numerous to mention one by one and as a group the Weber co-eds looked charming and very glamorous. The sponsors and officers are to be congratulated for the highly successful freshman dance. FOR MEN Stetson Hats Clipper Craft Suits B. V. D.

Run for home, all you juveniles (delinquent and otherwise). Those burly policemen who are patrolling the streets of Ogden in the current juvenile delinquency program are doing a very thorough job. So thorough in fact that they have managed to bring in a few of Weber college's fledglings. Recently an enraged Ann Taylor was entangled in the web of justice. Emerging red-faced and wild-eyed from an encounter with a plainclothes man on the corner of Washington boulevard andTwenty-fifth street on March 1, Ann sputtered, "Do I look like a high school kid?" Ann, an attractive Weber co-ed, left the campus during her free hour at 1 o'clook to attend to some matters of personal business on 9 Style tor Coeds Weber Coed Models Spring Wear Typical of the variety of new spring suits being worn to campus social events and in classrooms by Weber coeds is this trim tailored suit modeled by Florence White. College coeds have chosen the suit as the all-around outfit that can be worn at formal or informal affairs. The canary-yellow two-piece suit is trimmed with brown velvet and is tailored by Inter-State Tailoring Mills of Ogden. This style and many other smart designs are shown at their downtown store, 20th Century Sportswear, located at 2462 Washington Blvd. This store features one of the largest selections of suits with toppers or slacks to match with over 500 spring styles and materials available. The 20th Century Apparel Shop has what the coeds want! Washington boulevard. While she - was waiting on the corner of twen ty-fifth for the traffic light to change, the heavy hand of justice fell upon her shoulder. Wild thoughts of being kidnapped raced through her mind, but the large gentleman grabbed her coat shoulder and began to usher her off to the city and county courthouse."Hey, you!" were his only instructions, so Ann protested. She had no desire to spend the next 24 hours imposing upon the community taxpayers' good nature In that section of the city and county building boasting free board and room and with barred windows. Ann then explained the nature qf her mid-afternoon escapades and boasted of her Weber college membership. Her arguments were met with a cold stare and the re- GO THE R O U N 1) S WITH YOU TheytrM you tirelessly round town ill day ) designed for your full-time schedule wherever you go, whatever you do . . j steadfast companionl lor the active life you're leading today. At - mark, "Yes, I've heard that before, too Now fully prepared for battle Ann was even more amazed when the second person in the form of a capable woman appeared on the scene and informed the plain clothes man, "We've had this one before, Harvey! Ann Taylor was so astounded at the announcement that her college vocabulary was limited to two words, "Who, me?" The accusation was more than a Weber college freshman would tolerate, so Ann flung open her purse and began to produce va rious items of identification. Out came the make-up, combs, pencils, the results of the latest raid on the piggy bank, and finally a We ber college student body card. This piece of blue paper was the crowning evidence in the case of Ann Taylor versus the juvenile delinquency authorities. Ann was freed for the time being. Her captors walked away with a dejected air, for they had lost another case. For this Signpost interview, Ann issued this statement to the press, "Don't venture near Twenty-fifth street, Weber girls, if you are wearing bobby socks. It is unsafe these days of curfews and juvenile delinquents to disguise your age with anything except upswept hair styles and high heels."
