HONORS, AWARDS GRANTED IN MERIT ASSEMBLY; STUDENT OFFICES CHANGE tvt: a ri : s- Sweaters, Iedals Award assembly, probably the most important assembly of the year, was held Friday, May 26, in Weber auditorium. The program was : vocal solo, James Andrews; presentation of certificates, John Linquist; presentation of silver medals, Aur-line Osmond; presentation of gold medals, Beverley Briem. The special awards issued were: the Armstrong all around athlete award, presented by Claude Armstrong to Jack Thomas; the Chi Omega scholarship awarded by Lucile Petty to Lillian Lund; the La Dianaeda scholarship awarded by Norma Barrows, to Pauline Rogers; and the award to the outstanding boy and girl, presented by Robert A. Clarke to Beverley Briem and Merle Allen. Scholarship Grants National debate certificates were given to Blair Burton, Morton Fuller and Raulston Zun-dell by L. H. Monson. The scholarship grant to the University of Utah was presented to Melvin Manfull, to the Brig-ham Young university to Pauline Rogers, and the grant to the University of Southern California to Aurline Osmond. This was followed by the presentation to Weber college of an original painting by Oliver Parsons. The Rabbit's Foot In the induction ceremony, the resigning student body officers felt bad and a bit confused at leaving the old school. And in their predicament Merle Allen told his worst joke and Beverley Briem gave away the rabbit's loot that made her what she was during the late year. But the audience and those being inducted into office were with them, Barbara Reeve put the rabbit's foot in her purse. And Rolfe Peterson, next year's prexy, soberly listened to Mr. Allen and later declared that the remarks were an expression of esteem. Aurline Osmond also regretfully tendered her minutes to Kay Storey, secretary for the coming year. John Lindquist, treasurer, gave incumbent Dan Curtis a flat purse, which John said he had worked all year to flatten. Mr. Curtis thought that complete expenditure was a good thing in this circumstance. The student assembly finished with the singing of the school anthem by James Andrews and the student body. Students winning Orion membership were: Merle Allen, Norma Barrows, Glen Behling, Harold Benson. Beverley Briem, Rose Burchell, Phyllis Cardon, Florence Francis, Morton Fuller, With the arrival of graduation, our hearts are indeed sad, and our eyes are overflowing with salty tears. It seems but ten years ago that we first entered the portals of this unique college and cast our eyes upon our president, who very kindly returned them the next morning. Ah, well, as Abe Lincoln and this column often say, "A bird in the hand looks awfully silly." Here is a little burst of poetry that we can't hold back any longer. We have named it KIlArSOlUC REFLECTIONS Ah. never, never shall we forget That day upon the shore.

S. A. C. business scholarship. Last Assembly Presents Year in Judicial Review In panoramic fashion, the final assembly of the year, held this morning, presented a pictorial history of the school year brought to a close today. "We attempted to recall highlights of the past year for the students," stated Mr. Monson, chairman of the committee in charge of the assembly. As pages dressed in purple and white turned the sheets of a huge book, still-life pictures representing activities at Weber were disclosed, with an accompanying narrative. Beside Mr. Monson on the committee, were Thatcher Allred, Ralph Gray, Clair Johnson, Lucy Denning, and O. W. Young. The script was prepared by a student committee headed by Barbara Reeve, and consisting of Anne Danvers, Betty Mae Nelson, Pauline Rogers, Dean Williams, and Raulston Zundell. It Seemed Like Ages He didn't know the bicep measurement. He didn't know the sex. He didn't know what day' it was. But finally, after artificial respiration had been applied, he did say that it had been long ago days and maybe weeks ago that he had entered the hospital to become a father. That was on Saturday. Sometime during Sunday the expected happened, and Coach Ferron Losee was dad for the first time. Dad to a six-pound, black-haired Spanish type, they say. Her voice, the resuscitated Losee declares, is soothing to other infants. Hugh Garner, Chester Gilgen. Donna Ilogge, Charles Letz, Melvin Manfull, Eileen Manning, Aurline Osmond, Pauline Rogers, Tholma Summers, and Jacob Weese. Along with Weber's highest honor (Orion). the students named above received gold pins and white all-wool sweaters with purple "W's."

Honor Grads Favor Activity, Informative And Basic Courses By CHARLES LETZ This collegiate survey attempts to answer three questions from the point-of-view of the twenty-one students who are graduating with honors. I. What have extra-curricular activities contributed to your development?Typical answers were :Extra-curricular activities exert a socializing and extrovertive influence. They develop aptitudes. Help me to create new friends. Develop hidden talent. Socially constructive. Studies are the spinach; extracurricular activities the dessert of college life. All of those who answered question one, agreed thatextra-curricular activities had contributed a great deal to their development while here at Weber. But six of the honor graduates had not engaged in activities. II. What class within your major field has helped you most during your two years at Weber college?

In flitting past Miss Barrow's home the other evening a little bird saw one Weber collegian leaving as another Weber collegian was arriving. In fact, they met at the door. There is an old adage that: If you make a better mouse trap, the world will beat a path to your door. It seems all Miss Barrows needs is a better time table.

Annapolis is located in Maryland, and West Point in New York EXECUTIVE REVEALS W. C. DESIRES Likes Cat-Fishing, Says Newshawk By CONSTANCE FORI) "Have you ever beencat-fishing?" President H. A. Dixon asked the student reporter. You see both Dr. Dixon and the reporter are ardent fishing fans; and instead of the reporter asking only questions, time was spent exchanging fishing tales. With a waiting list of six people, including three teachers, your reporter was lucky to see Mr. Dixon. Dressed immaculately in a dark blue suit, and smiling broadly, he sat behind a tidy desk. It is "not hard to get Dr. Dixon to talk about Weber. Upon that subject he is even more expansive and heart-warming than usual. He feels that Weber should have more room, so that an art department can be housed and enlargement of other departments may be made. Additions could then be made in consumers' education, sewing, carpentry and physical education. Most important would be a new administration building containing a Sports, Lyceum, Music, Debate, Sociology Club, Socials Follow By STANLEY JOHNSON Survey of the previous seventeen issues of the school paper shows the events and activities and persons who dominated the news in the school year 1938-39. The one name most prominent in the news was that of President H. A. Dixon. He was a leading figure in leading events, and a large percentage of news stories originated at his office. Mr. David Trevithick was the next most prominent faculty member. His name was constantly in the gossip columns. Other faculty members frequently named were Mr. Leland Monson, Mr. Thatcher Allred. and Coaches Swenson, Losee, and Davis. Students Shone in Print Merle Allen, Beverley Briem, Aurline Osmond, and Phyllis Cardon were the students named most often. Mr. Allen, student body president, carried a slight lead. Other students who shone in print were Chester Gilgen, Shirley Poulton, Florence Francis, Norma Barrows, Blair Burton, Isabelle Edward, Rama Eyre, Glen Brewer, Harold Benson, Hugh Garner, Jacob Weese, Dean Williams, Betty Mae Nelson, Farrel Ensign, and Pauline Rogers. In addition, the recent student elections brought to light such names as Rolfe Peterson, Barbara Reeve, Kay Storey, and Dan Curtis. Whole Legislature Trooped 1. Most space was occupied by the attempt to gain funds for a needed new building. A movement that gained impetus when the whole legislature trooped through Weber's halls, but was instantly checked when Governor Blood vetoed a purchase appropriation of $100,000. 2. Meriting almost as much space was dramatics. Its program consisted of two three-act (Continued on Page 2) first-class library. President Dixon would like W. C. to be known for character in its students, the quality of their scholarship, the work they do, and for the freedom the school gives to the students to encourage them in self-governing, He favors having a Tuesday and Thursday program in which student expression could be given an opportunity. Dramatic readings, original skits or plays, scientific and professional lectures, music recitals, and motion pictures could then be had. In fact, one of the things most refreshing to Dr. Dixon is the umlv of the student body, their initiative, independ'T.ce, and especially their determination to give this school outstanding character. But he believes that if the students would conform in every way and show sufficient maturity with a given freedom in which to develop their own capacities, that the school could turn out students better qualified 1han are now being turned out. Students who act as well as think will produce creativeness and origin- ( Continued on Page '.',) |
