Show WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST 3 Rites Honor Friendly Girl Mar Jean Hickman, student body secretary, and an Otyokwa squaw, was chosen by popular vote as the "Friendliest Girl" at the Friendship Banquet held last Feb. 12 at the Weber College cafeteria. She was presented by Marvel Murphy, friendliest girl of last year. The banquet, given each year and participated in by the six women's clubs of Weber, was sponsored this season by Otyokwa. The theme, cleverly planned and executed, centered around Valentine's day. Red hearts edged with iirhn ft-illr. iiraro llcaH a o nlara macs ana small wnice caras written with red ink indicated where each guest was to be seated. A large heart inscribed with "Friendliest Girl" made an attractive background and the whole scene took on a lovely atmosphere as a result of the candlelight produced by graduated candles on every table. The speakers were Dr. and Mrs. Dixon. Dr. Dixon, using "friendship" as his keynote, spoke about the "bonds that must hold the family of Weber college together until the boys come home again." The affair was successfully presented under the guidance of the Otyokwa officers, Mar Jean Hickman, Janice McKay, Elizabeth She-line, Moretta Blaes, Pat Boyle and Shirley Burrows. Members who assisted, Lucille Wright, Doris Wheelwright, Shirley Mills, Cleo Anderson, Louise Thomas, Connie Jensen, Donna Allen, Mary Jean Schott, Beverly Felt, Elaine Anderson, Madelyn Hillis, Lynette Har-berteon, LaVerne Jones, Lu Jean Schoffield, Bernice Rawlings, Janice Felt and Pat Critchlow. The banquet, originated six years ago by La Dianeada, holds an esteemed place among the events of the year and each. year one of the clubs acts as sponsor. Girls From B. Y. U. Present Assembly Guest assembly for last Friday was provided by student body officers and entertainers from Brig-ham Young university, Provo. Afterwards the students were guests of the Weber student body officers in the cafeteria. The show was well received by the Weber students, and many of them, including the faculty, went up afterwards and expressed their pleasure to the musicians and dialogue artists. The program was an all-girl performance. Whippers Design Service Men's Request Program Whip Club is to give a command performance in the assembly of March 24. All the numbers will be request numbers from students who have left Weber to join the armed forces. Every member of the club will participate in helping carry out the men's requests. Whip extends a cordial invitation to every student and faculty member on the campus to come and see his favorite radio or movie star. The committee in charge of the production is as follows: Betty Jo Green, chairman; Blanche Chamberlain, Vola Wyatt, Afton Parker and Gene Phillips.

Roland Lewis of the University of Utah English department addressed the faculty women February 7 on "Shakespearean Research." But the talk was more than that. He spoke specifically on the human side of Shakespeare, stressing such details as the man's desire to establish his family in the gentry so that he could be considered a "gentleman." He commented on the money that the writer made, the property he acquired, the marriage, the birth of the children and upon the will that Shakespeare left behind him. Details of the convivial bachelor life in London as a writer and man about town were largely left untouched. There should be, Professor Lewis said, a new life of Shakespeare having a more exact regard for the facts which comprehensive, systematic, original research such as Professor Lewis has been following for the last three decades reveals. Interpretations have been often wrong and incomplete, he feels. And biographies have often been written from other biographies rather than from the original sources. In fact, the lecturer revealed that he himself has such a life in process. The response of the audience, based upon his lecture, was that he was certainly qualified to do such a work. The hour was alive with the breath of Shakespeare and with the atmosphere in which he lived, particularly as his life touched Stratford and his domestic ambitions. Hew Clothes Take Goddesses' Eyes, Then Tea for Mom The new goddesses of La Diana-eda came to school last Wednesday arrayed in their club uniforms of blue and white. But alas, now that they have to start thinking about new spring uniforms. All members are busy laying out the plans for the coming Easter week events. The committee in charge of the assembly consists of Maxine Elliott, chairman; Shirley Lmford, Louise Larsen, Ivy McEn-tire, Mary Lou McCune, Melva Campbell, Lois Carver and Joanne Smith. The committee in charge of the Easter breakfast is Ruth Torgeson, chairman; Jean Marchall, Miriam McFarland, Norma Cross, Marjorie Rhodes, Cleo Campbell and Helen Jane Harding. Among these com ing events are the annual Mother s tea and the sponsoring of some public service. History Students Form Unit to Discuss Problems History students have formed an International Relations club under the sponsorship of Parley Kilburn, history instructor. The group plans to study current phases of the war as it shifts and alters. Panel discussions will be held and speakers engaged to lecture on the economic, political, religious and psychological aspects of post-war planning. Officers are: Matt Gait, president; Betty Lou Lamoreaux, vice president; Ivy McEntire, secretary, and Lucille Larsen, reporter. Plans are to hold two meetings a month. J These experienced musicians will says Johnny Rosell, who Royd Purple Orchestra Put Freshman In Class With Johnny Rosell and his Royal Purple orchestra will provide the music for the freshman class ball to be held March 3 at nine p. m. Maestro Rosell has arranged for a unique presentation of many numbers. He has backed his plan up by sending along an actual quotation. "Request numbers will be in order if it's music, we play it." Among some of the big show affairs the Royal Purple boys have played for are the dinner dance in honor of the governors of the western states, Salt Lake City; Governor Maw's new year dance at the governor's mansion; the Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary club balls, and hundreds, actually hundreds, of other top hat social events. Several of the Royal Purple players are also members of the KSL Broadcasting company orchestra. But this elite membership does not give anybody the right to think that this outfit can't swing it, because they jive with the best. The freshman class officers have obtained this orchestra at great cost and much labor. They feel confident that the ball at which they provide the music will be one of the very best held at Weber college this, and perhaps any other, year. "The best is none too good for Weber college students." The theme of the dance centers around "Spotlight Bands." Johnny will give his rendition of Harry James for three dances, likewise Freddie Martin, Wayne King and Ted Lewis. Rosell claims to be able to play any tune that is requested.One of the highlights of the They These variously happy people (including the lost) are, left to right, happy stranger, Helba Halo, John Nash and Verl Soelberg.

The idea is there's a dance coming up.) By Ardell Kussell So, you're a boy and you aren't overly fond of all these formal dances; except for the bare fact that all defective underpinnings are elaborately covered with literally yards of acetate, silk or a million and one other collaborations. But this isn't explaining why formal dances make your collars just a little tight. The first, and probably the main difficulty, is in choosing the "corsage." You probably don't have the slightest idea of the clang color she's going to wear. If we had a law passed whereby every young female would wear only white evening dresses the males' problem would be solved; but statistics show that only one out of 10 does wear white so you boys have one chance in 10, to send any flower and not have it look like a mild form of surrealistic art. You May Take It all adds up to: the flowers either make or break a perfect evening so with the help of Henrietta Ripperger and the biased opinions of Weber's coeds, the following suggestions are being made, which you may take, but probably won't: First: Either telephone or in casual conversation, or through some girl friend find out what she (your date) is to wear. And if you can't find out send her gardenias. Always right with any color, gardenias are the impeccable choice of the boy who's been around, when he doesn't know what his date is wearing. Camellias Next: Camellias; in glowing pink these are gorgeous on white, navy, black, brown, or light blue. They'll even go with a clear yellow. Like orchids, camellian are high-hat yet not quite so high priced. Orchids? Well, they sound wonderful, and it's fun to get your first, but that lavender kills other colors. Be sure the gown of the evening isn't peach, or red, or green. Browns, black, white, or soft blues are necessary to blend with them. Other flowers flatter much more, however; no, they just aren t worth what they cost. Pink or white carnations? These FOOD FOR THE DAILY COST 62c 33c m iidj.

Smart Sophvitas Honor Valentine Day With Lunch Party Sophvita celebrated Valentine Day with a party at the home of Muriel Chadwick. The decorations carried out the theme of an old-fashioned Valentine Day. Favors were nut cups of heart design and the centerpiece was a tree of hearts. After a lunch of sandwiches and salad, ice cream and cake and punch the girls discussed the plans for their coming assembly, April 28. A week ago Wednesday Sophvita girls appeared in their new uniforms for the first time. Their uniforms, a navy blue cardigan suit with a light blue blouse, carry out their club colors. Pledges of Tiki Become Full-Fledged Members At a beautiful candlelight ceremony, held in the women's lounge February 16, the pledges of Tiki Kapa Kapa were made official members of the club. Those who took the club oath were: Margaret Binnie, Nellie June Farnsworth, Felice McKinnon, Maurine Giles, Marion Smith, Shirley Cunnington, Marilyn Taylor, Katherine Inge-bretson, Veda Miller, Fay East, Florence White, Lorna Grix, Ruby Mower and Ann Winters. Each girl was presented with a corsage made of the club flower, which is the gardenia and the club pin. At the business meeting February 16, the recent bond drive was discussed, and also the coming assembly which Tiki will present in the near future. make up "perfectly adorable corsages," and are awfully flattering. They're crisp and fresh looking and do a lot for a crepe or chiffon dress that has gone a bit stringy. Well now, roses, sweet peas, mixed posies, they are generally considered sweet and lovely but they have a tendency to look droopy along about the last round of a dance. The roses with gardenias are lovely, however, or maybe even roses alone may suffice risking that last rose of summer look. And last but not least: The corsages needn't be expensive. (Confidentially as long as they're flowers, and the right color) we think they are just what we wanted. ARMED FORCES PER MAN ctirmc it ricn-s Apparel Chanodo Assembly Elevates Dramatic Standards for Home-Grown Tragi-Comic By Millie Chanodo seems to have set a standard for the home variety of dramatic skits in its Friday assembly February 11. It was a nice gesture for the girls to present their adviser, Miss Marian Read, with a flower at the close of the production, for no doubt her encouragement in the hard places and her suggestions for standard of production had their effect on the girls' success. Out of the show come such les sons as these: Preparation, a story to follow, decently written dialog and reader monolog, restraint in acting, good looking costumes, variety. Of course, what the girls were trying to do was present the campus as she is, now he is not here any more. It seems to be a popular theme because the B. Y. U. girls twanged the same string, and almost as prettily too, a week later. The edge was given by the unity (or continuity) in this one. ine other lacked continuity somewhat and was a series of more or less separate acts. In the first scene, short skirts with paper ruffles and big green paper hair bows adorned the "paper dolls." The girls who took the part of pre-war me nwore "civies" which consisted of top hats, stiff collars, black vests and also big green bows. This costume resembling St. Patrick was not intended to do so, because the theme of the program was St. Valentine's day. Of course, the costumes plus the dance, which was composed by the dancers, were all placed in the background when the loosely connected disjointed rag doll (Bonnie Clay) stole the scene and kept them rolling in the aisles. Another scene that gave everyone a big laugh was the soldier scene. The gals were all dressed in "fatigues" and get their practice in peeling potatoes. Dr. Dixon's smile was shown in a starchy manner and Mr. Espy was the long lean faced one, represented by the partly peeled "spuds." The surprise of this scene came when two sacks (bags) of potatoes emerged from nowhere to do their very original dance. In case there is still bafflement in the minds of anyone, these bags were Elaine Spencer and Althea Andelin. The girl who was chosen as Valentine was the very small and petite Dantzel McCann. Everyone was amazed at the hidden talent of Dantzel's, her singing voice. She is also to be commended on some of the dances which she composed. Originality came out in all the assembly. Beverly DeVree came through with some much needed lyrics for "Manhattan Serenade." The new version of this number to suit the occasion is "Moonlight On the Camnus." The club was indebted to the guest artist who presented a very splendid dance "Miss." Although every member and pledge put in a lot of toil and sleepless nights plus lunchless noons, the show was a lot of fun for the merry maids of "Sherwood Forest," and the student body said "hats off to Chanodo for an hour of interesting entertainment." A. W. S. News A. W. S. officers are justly proud of the success of the bond drive. Unlike other schools, who use the face value of the bonds to raise their total, the college has counted only the actual amount of money handled. Skyrocketing past the original quota of $15,000, the students have turned in $59,709.50. Instead of the original plan to buy one training plane, two planes will be purchased. Word was received from Mr. Moffat of the state bond committee stating that Weber college will receive in the near future a government citation. The drive, however, is not finished, and it is hoped that the above sum total of receipts will be boosted still higher. The competition between the six girls running for queen is strong, and the winning contestant will be presented at the Freshman Dance on March 3rd. Charm Week is now the topic for discussion in A. W. S. council. An assembly committee consisting of Althea Andelin, chairman, Barbara Singleton, and Bonnie Clay have been appointed. The date for Charm Week will be announced in the near future.
