In 1937 she won in both the state of California and Southern Pacific Districts of the National Federation of Music clubs bi-annial con tests for young artists. She was the youngest contestant to compete in the national finals. Her reputation has steadily grown. Mr. Mills holds the professorship of Composition, Counterpoint and Orchestration at Whittier College, California. His "American Fantasy" for orchestra has had more than 40 performances in the last two years. His songs, piano and violin pieces, choruses and string quartet are rapidly gaining the attention of the musical world. As they worked together it became more and more evident that their ideals of music were similiar and their unity of spirit became apparent. For three years they have played together constantly receiving such comments as tffe following from the Portland Journal: "Mr. and Mrs. Mills first played the sonata for violin and piano, bringing to its interpretation an unanimity of artistic purpose and aft almost reverent feeling for emotional depth of Franck's music. Their rendition of this beautiful work stamped them both as being among the most interesting young musicians of the Pacific coast." Goddess Diana Is Ideal of La Dianaeda Homecoming and with it our alumni La Dianaeda was organized in 1934 by Elgie Taylor. Weber was advancing so rapidly at this time that social clubs, as well as more school activities, became a necessity. Organized for the purpose of developing beauty, culture and friendliness among Weber girls, the club chose the Goddess Diana as its ideal. And for its symbol, the crescent moon, pledged by a star, was adopted, having as its club flower the Talisman Rose. Blue and white, standing for loyalty and purity, were its colors. Year by year the club has grown, sending out each year a group of alumni, who are the ideals and dreams of their little sisters. After Elgie Taylor in 1934 came Ruth Ketchie, president during 1935 and 1936. Ruth Shelton, 1936 and 1937, is now a sister (in-law) to Gladys Johnson, one of this year's members. Normp Barrows was the very capable president during 1938 and 1939. And then Florence Main, president last year, and founder of the Friendship Banquet, turned her office over to Ardell Russell for the year 1940 to 1941. La Dianaeda is probably known more for the events of pre-Easter week than any other events throughout the year. It Is during that week that the club sponsors its traditional Easter Friday assembly Easter Eve formal dance, ana the early Easter breakfast. morning DIXIE SHOPS Style Without Extravagance 2275 Washington Blvd. Tel. 1738 Ogden, Utah Sign Up Here, Girls, Ardell Russell, Emma Martin and Ethel Hogge, left to right, sign up with Betty Snialley for the Orchid Princess "draft."

The floor show promises to equaT, or even excell the grandeur of the ball itself, it is of course being held as a "military secret" until intermission.Phoenix Pledges Will Pull Homecoming Float On November 11, during the annual homecoming celebration Phoenix members with their president, Kieth Wilcox, will welcome back to Weber college the alumni of their club. A float pulled by the new pledges will be entered in the parade, according to President Wilcox.Since its initial organization in 1935-36, with Richard Graehl as president, Phoenix has been functioning as an active men's club at Weber. The activities of Phoenix have each year been highlighted by the annual Snow Ball at which a snow ball queen and her attendants are chosen. "This year," states President Wilcox, "this event is to be the biggest, most stupendous dance ever held at Weber and our assembly on December 13, will be equally as good." Wildcats Plan Homecoming Seaman Mills introduced a new school organization in 1939. This group is the men's pep club Wildcats.Wildcats has rapidly become important in school affairs.

A.W.S. to Welcome Alumni At Homecomng Associated Women Students of Weber college will be among those groups who will welcome alumni to the annual homecoming celebration November 11. Since the begin ning of its existence, this orsaniza tion whose membership is made up of all the women students on the campus, has endeavored to make each coed feel that she is a part of the school. The activities of the association have thus far consisted of a get acquainted party, a canyon outing, and the freshman tea. Plans for the future include the powder puff ball, on November 20, a Christmas party, charm week ,a dance in Feb ruary, and a mothers tea in the spring. C. A. WEST CO. 2285 Washington Blvd. See Our Blue Ribbon Values Skulls Purpose Explained "To promote wholesome friendship and school spirit." With this purpose in mind, a group of fellows organized the Skull club. For the first year they were unaffiliated, but in 1937 they became a school organization. The club insignia is the skull and bones. The first sweater was black and white, but at present they wear brown and gold. Ed Watson was the first president; Norval Benson now rules the gavel. Scandals From Newspaper Files Deemed of Never Ending Interest Ruth Folkman says she appreciates music better since Rigby Jacobs joined the military band. At least she likes to listen to the attempts of that organization to produce harmony. Lois Jones led the class in venturing into the "tied for life" state. She is now Mrs. Shaw. We wish her happiness, but would prefer to have her back at school with us. By the way she is still Mrs. Shaw. The following students are officers of the classes for the years 1923-24: Sophomores, Clarence Brown, president; Josephine Rhees, vice president;Ray Poulter, secretary; Hensley Cortez, athletic manager; Kathrync Cannon, debating manager, and Dah Naisbitt, yell master. Professor A. L. Windsor is class advisor. Freshmen: Van Tanner, president; Myra Write, vice president; Helen Wilson, secretary; Rigby Jacobs, yell master; Ted Woods, athletic manager; Henry Zillsman, debating manager, and Professors J. Q. Blaylock and Betty Noble, class advisors. Now students are professors and are doing the same thing over again. We moderns should worry about what our parents think of us. They did it too as is proved by the following: found in "the Weber Herald" for October 25, 1933. An irate mother called up one of conversation which was, by the way, girl was highly interested, we heard Mother I presume you were last night?" The girl pleaded guilty to the charge. Mother "Well, I wonder, young lady, if you don't know how hard it is to get 'that school girls complexion' off my son's coat?" Now it isn't coats, it's shirts. Boys don't keep their coats on any more. "Clothes make the man." That was the case in 1923 and it's still the case. Clarence Barker "I wish to advertise for a wife through your want ad columns." Ad man "Yes sir, under what classification: Business chances, Pet stock, or Household Fixtures?" Professor Manning, "What are you resting for, Leland?" L. Monson (just finished with exams) "It ain't for, sir, it's from" Now his students feel the same way. Signpost 1938-39 The following methods were given for holding your man. Beverly Briem: "Get him first and then let him do the holding." Lottie Lund, "We wouldn't take it any way." P. S. Beverly has her man (practically) but it seems that Lottie is still looking. Carrol Boyle is (in 1938) having quite a time these days trying to decide between Bud and Bill. (In 1939) she got Bill Cook and (In 1940) the draft got him. Now who gets the draft. O. M.

Alt Halverson say's: "I'm only a plumber now but some day I'll be president of the United States on the Farm-Labor ticket." He's still not the president.

But even though the ancient collegians may have really done all right for themselves between sessions at Weber college, academy or otherwise, they really can't hold a candle to the antics of the modern collijoe and collijoan . . . we know! Take, for example, the antics of the nurses at the local hospital. It seems that even nurses can nurse other feelings than professional duty might demand ... In such a mood the other night, they put in a frantic call for masculine company at the boys' dorm, none the less. Ensuing frivolities included a very interesting item about a red headed nurse and Buzz Barton. Tch! Tch! Mary Olpin and Ruth Webb were seen sitting on the lawn of the dorm supposedly getting inspiration for a float for the homecoming parade. But really, kids, this isn't valentine. Love, Hearts, and Flowers, etc. can hardly be called fitting for Armistice, can they? In olden days pa called on ma and sat apart like this.' And now with Weber knowledge learned theycuddleuplikethis! Hugh Dobbs had best beware of his laurels, his girl, et al. If he'd seen the way she'd played up to the Signpost copy reader yesterday he would have blushed, even as we. You aren't a bit fussy are you, Wool-ley?And now we see that our distinguished fellow student is really getting around . . . variety must be the spice of his lovc-lifc. Including a grass-widow, of all things . . . my, my! What makes that certain cheerleader think that school spirit comes in bottles? Has Bob McGregor really affianced himself to the entire Otyokwa tribe or is he just kidding? Anyway Curran isn't eligible, she's interested in pilots at the moment, thank you. If we were in the habit of dedicating songs to love-sick studds, now would be the time to dedicate "Only Forever" to Athalene Cardon and Tommy Lawson . . . but we're not, so forget it. Who was seen publically in Betty Smalley's nightshirt. Guess again, Smalley hasn't got a bulldog haircut! Ooooh! We just got a preview of the photograph of Bev Peterson to go in the Scribulus! Gosh, who said Weber women didn't have glamor plus. Will someone please tell Bob Rees to stop pitching in public with his brunette? Laon Earl and Reed Coray and Rex McEntire were embarrassed to death at their scene the other night. We can't mention any names about the football infidels . . . not the unchristian kind . . . but a certain thespian has heard rumors that Pasadena pigeons are even more chummy than those in Gunnison . . . and she's plenty worried! Rosemary Pickens is looking for an opportunity to concentrate . . . shouldn't be hard from this angle ... or any other for that matter. "Wendell Willkie" Neuteboom is still hoping ... or should we say "hoggeing?" Vikings Have Float for Homecoming Vikings are guided this year by Glen Orton, with Reed Swenson as sponsor. The club plans a float for the Homecoming parade, and later the annual Ski-Ball will be sponsored by the club. Good sportsmanship and service to the school is the theme of Viking club.

First will be that of a float in the homecoming parade, next will be the "Friendship Banquet," at which Tiki will play hostess to the other girls' clubs, and finally, a formal dance in the spring. . . . Tiki Kapa Kapa was organized on May 23, 1939. Using Hawaii as an inspiration, several Weber college girls decided to join together for the purpose of furthering friendship. Miss Marjory Jensen was the first president. At present, though one of the youngest social groups on the campus, it is strhing to maintain its goal of a friendly spirit. Nola Agri-cola is the president, and there are 28 members and pledges. Frenistians Conceal Darkhorse President Darold Burt, aided by Adviser Leland Monson, is cooking up something good for homecoming. But neither one of the Frenistians Will say what.. It was enly yesterday Burt said he wouldn't tell. However, it is rumored that the goings-on will be of a sort to make the homecomers pleased that they didn't stay home or go to the Aggie homecoming instead. It will be in connection with the parade, whatever "it" stands for. Frenisti was organized in 1935. Best event sponsored by the club has been the Mardi Gras, costume dance. The era of Ralph Morton Fuller, one-time prexy of the club, admits originating the W. C. version of the New Orleans good time. According to the club's constitution, it may have as many members as it wishes.

Geology Club Has Illustrated Lecture Mr. Orlo E. Childs favored the Geology club members with an il lustrated lecture recently. Slides were taken by him when he was studying in the east last year. Included in his pictures were scenes from the University of Michigan campus at Ann Arbor, Niagara Falls, the Blue Ridge mountains, and the Great Smoky mountains. The club met at the home of Edna Bench on October 31, where an illustrated lecture was given by Mr. Reed Bailey from the United States forest service. His subject was "Contemporary Geology," a division of geolog ywhich he believes will become a popular subject in the future. His slides were chiefly scenes from the Willard and Farmington regions. Discussions were carried on in connection with the cloudbursts which have caused a great deal of erosion in these districts, resulting in the mud flows which have done much damage. Mr. Bailey is connected with the range experiment station of the U. S. F. S., which has been using a number of experimental methods of increasing the vegetation in these regions, to decrease the amount of damage which takes place. ENDS TODAY!
