Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Chatlie HctAe By TED COLLINS Ladies and gentlemen, students, and athletes, unaccustomed as I am to public snooping, I feel it my civic, academic, and humane duty to appear before you. You are about to take your place in a waiting world. Such fine young men and women as you are bound to succeed. ' Don't let ten million five hundred thousand unemployed discourage you. There is a place for you all. (In P. W. A., C. C. C , or W. P. A.). You business students, it isn't everyone who can pound an iron alphabet or take shorthand (there are still a few who are pursuing doctor's and lawyers' careers). Typewriters lie idle. Why? Because there are no operators? No, because there is no business. In spite of what may seem adverse circumstances, there is definitely room for you. If you can't find a job, make one; if you can't make one, find one; if you can't find one, go to school. Why anyone wants to work when there are nice clean schools to go to is beyond me. In Podunk county last year one student, through his initiative, made jobs for the whole graduating class. A major in chemistry made the strongest and best home brew in the west. The sale of brew resulted in a bent fender; so new shops were started which needed men who needed clothes which needed cleaners who needed food which needed eating. The hospitals were full, so needed internes. Roads for sane drivers were needed; so surveying students got work. So with this little one-horse still, a chem student brought prosperity (and other things) to this community. I could cite example after example of how college grads succeed (but you wouldn't believe me). The reason there are ten million five hundred thousand unemployed is that they "ain't" grads who have initiative or don't know the fine points of making home brew. And then there is the social se- At The Best Price For Fine Shoes 5 have a style -at the best Ask to see our Jarman Style Charts, as advertised in Esquire Magazine.

Those students attending the award assembly may have noted that the golf and tennis men were not honored. According to Coach Davis, the fact that these lettermen were not hon-ohed was caused by the late matches in these sports. These lettermen were not decided until after the names were submitted for awards. Golfers who earned letters this year were : William Murray, Milton Wilcox, Roy Stephens, Glen Shannon, Kay Walker, and Tom Toyn. The tpnnis lettermen for this year are; Melvin Manfull, Glen Frppman Charlpn Ketchie Paul Cawley, and Dean Clayton. curity. So I say, don't be afraid for you young men and women of today are the pensioned of tomorrow.I wish to thank you for your kind attention now, and in the past. I wish to compliment you on your strong will power, but now let freedom ring and the cabbage fly the sweet aroma of alcohol warns me that Charlie Horse is about to be rubbed out. Adieu, you scholars!

U. guard; in football, all conference center two years, captain second year. Sorry, but here we are waxing sentimental. The memories of the wastepaper basket in the main hall, where paper, gum, and Shirley Critchlow are often discarded, will remain in our hearts forever. And then there is the telephone booth. Honestly, have you ever seen a more stately structure than that? It stands erect, a monument to free speech. And then they charge a nickel. Rather ironical, eh what? In the middle of the hall, on the other side of a column, is found perhaps the object of greatest utility. It has done al most as much for the students as a certain vice-president. Like the same vice-president, it is effervescent always bubbling over. Our hall fountain (or had you guessed?) is commonly used to discard gum. And now we come to the subject of the yearbook. It was rather A-corny creation, didn't you think? Some of the freshmen were indeed surprised to find that they were finishing Weber in one year, while some of the sophs were dismayed to discover that after two years of hard work they were really still frosh. Some of us couldn't recognize our own names when we saw them. But don't get us wrong. We liked it. We are now about to wistfully take leave of you. Before doing so, however, we wish to apologize to all of you whose reputations have been darkened by our column. We are especially sorry for those whose names have appeared more than once, for there we feel that almost irreparable damage has been done. But, don't feci too discouraged. Perhaps the living of an exemplary life from now on will help to rectify your ways. P. S. We are extremely grat-ful to the Signpost, first for providing an office in which to hold FOX Now A picture every Boy and Girl from 6 to 60 should see.

That phrase was heard a good deal this year as Weber polished off one of its most successful years in athletics. In football the Wildcats opened their season with a scoreless tie with B. A. C, but picked up from this game and powerhoused through. The highlights of the season were Dixie, Mesa, Snow, and Albion. Webers' 19-7 victory over Regis college of Denver and the last-minute 3-0 victory over Albion, league leader, when Glen Clark connected for his third field goal try. The Wildcat warriors finished the season in a tie with Westminster for the league flag. The close of the season was characterized by Westminster's scramble for additional games. The Wildcats were leading in the percentage column until Westminster, sole conqueror of Coach Davis' team, played an extra game at close of the season and lumped into a tie with Weber for the conference championship. Basketball Coach Swenson gave Weber another of its good basketball teams. At the beginning of the season pessimism outweighed optimism for Weber's chances in conference basketball. The sideline coaches could not conceive a good team at Weber with the Morris boys, Bingham and the rest of the last year's dream team missing. However, the Wildcat court stars, Nelson, Thomas, Revell, Gardner. Clark, Christiansen, et al, made the strings dance throughout the season to bring Weber into third place in the final league standings. The hoopmen defeated every team in the league at least once, but they blew alternately hot and cold to split most of their series. Weber was stopped by Snow and Ricks in the. battle for the flag. Students saw the team at its best when it romped through the intermountain A. A. U. trials here, defeating the Provo Lions in the final game to become the Utah representative at the national A. A. U. tourney at Denver. In Denver the Wildcats stamped themselves as an outstanding college team by defeating the Southwestern Teachers of Missouri in their first game, and then dropped a thriller to the Olympic Club of San Francisco in the second game. The Olympic Club, only a two-point victor over Weber, advanced to the quarter-finals of the tourney. Swimming Weber finished second in the league swimming race competing against Box Elder high, Logan high, Bear River high, and Granite high. Granite was the only team able to defeat Weber and its two victories over Weber enabled it to take first place. Coach Losee was able to produce several record breakers during the season. Byrne Fer-nelius established a new record in the 100 yard backstroke, and Perry Leavitt broke the old 220 yard free style record. Virginia Nelson took the Junior A. A. U. woman's division diving championship.Track Although Weber was decisively beaten in their first track meet against Idaho Southern Branch, it rallied quite successfully in their later meets. In the Brigham Young univer sity invitational meet it distinguished itself in all of the events bull sessions, second for giving us a little silver medal, and last and perhaps worst, for publishing our junk. When a teacher gives a final mark, he is grading himself on his success with the student. White City Ballroom MERLE CARLSON And His Orchestra DANCING EVERY WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY Westminster Sweeps Tennis Matches And then came the rain. As usual Weber's opening tennis match with Westminster was dampened. The initial match, held Tuesday, May 23, on the Victory courts of Salt Lake was won by Westminster, six matches to one. In direct contrast the playing conditions in the return match at Weber on Thursday. May 25, were perfect. But this is as far as the contrast goes, for Westminster made the transition from wet courts to dry courts quite readily and swept the final match five to two. Running true to prediction, the Parsons blanketed the singles. Paul Cawley, Weber southpaw, gave Weber its only singles victory when he outstroked Douglas of Westminster, 6-4, 7-5, on the Victory courts. Ray Dubois, conference singles champ; Frank Allen, second ranking singles man; and Paul Kelm, ranking third, were all twice winners for the Parsons. Tuesday's Match In Tuesday's match the Parson coach, Pete Carlson, paired his best singles men against Weber's top four. Dubois met Glen Freeman and walked off with a 6-3, 6-2 victory; Frank Allen was paired with Melvin Manfull and dusted him off 6-1, 6-2; Paul Kelm disposed of Weber's third singles man, Charles Ketchie, 6-4, 6-2. The three doubles matches went universally against the Wildcat squad. Two of the matches, however, went three sets with both sides having numerous match-points before Westminster eked out the victories. Final Match Thursday's match saw Coach Bob Davis doing the Dairing for Weber. Davis scrambled the line-up, putting his top singles men as a doubles team and pulling men, Seegmiller and Weese, from the doubles to meet Dubois and Allen. With these pairings Davis conceded the first two singles matches, but hoped to even the matches by taking the doubles. Davis made a bid for the third singles match by putting Vern Stromberg, Wildcat veteran of last year, against Kelm, but Kelm outsteadied Stromberg, 6-2, 6-3. Paul Cawley lost his marathon with Ashworth by a 8-6, 1-6, 10-8 score. Dubois and Allen, rating first and second, raced through their singles matches with the loss of only one game between them; Dubois dropped one game to Seegmiller. Davis' pairing gave Weber two victories in the doubles. Man-full and Freeman defeated the top Parson doubles team of Wagstaff and Zwick, 6-3, 6-3. Charles Ketchie and Dean Clayton scored the other victory bv a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 match over Williamson and Douglas. and did exceptionally well in the relays. Even though Weber possessed no brilliant star material, it had a consistent team that garnered nearly all of the second and third places. This was so in the conference meet at Salt Lake City with Ricks. The school took few firsts but many of the events were nosed out of first place to be dropped second and third places. Golf In the newly inaugurated golf league of this year in competition with Cyprus high, Logan high, and Granite high, Weber was able to take a close second place. The victorious team, Granite high, was the only team at whose hands Weber was defeated. This may have been because that up until this time Weber has had no golf team whatsoever. It is expected that next year the school will be able to win the league championship. |
