Why Ronald Cole, how could you take your best boy friend's best girl friend for a ride on such a swell day! Gee, Florence Main, you're sorta in a muddle, aren't you? What with Jay coming home all of a sudden and Don . . . and everything. But then concerts are nice . . . but so is the Mardi Gras. La Venna, you're doing okay with capital letters! Now let's see: there's Gordon, and Gordon . . . and Sherm, and Dan, and Gordon . . . then again there's always Gordon. Doc's having quite a time these days to settle down and study. He's even seriously considering taking up poetry ... or tennis. He can't quite decide which. Bette Watson and Netta Lavin are pretty worried about that flat tire they have to change in the auto driver's class. No one has the courage to tell them that they really don't. (Teacher's .ioke ! ) By the way, Netta, was your house close to school the other night ... or did you and Beecher go the long way round? Kay Blaes wonders if the Varsity show is worth it all after all. She nearly got killed in the rush to sit down during practice . . . and still prefers to stand. Flash! Mardi Gras marches on!

Following the initiation members met at the home of Max Burton. Excelsior's next affair will be planning new spring outfits. Freshmen Jig Outstanding at the Freshman Jig was the obvious lack of freshmen (who were giving the dance), sophomores in whose honor the dance was given, and the surprising number of non-Weberites present whose only interest was that it was the best place in town for an enjoyable evening! Decorations were carried out for St. Patrick's in green, with green shamrock programs, orchestra, and so on. geafo' hri-JeJt (Continued from Page 1) coat off, and climbs to the statue.

NEW SPORT COATS and SLACKS Be Modernistic Buy At R. M. Hoggan Co. 2441 Washington Boulevard Spring Styles For The Coed Spring is sprung ; The grass is riz; I wonder what The fashion is? With exam week only a memory and registration completed, the thoughts of the W. A. W. (Women at Weber) turn once more to clothes and cuddling. The mere thought of spring brings the blues to mind. Not the St. Louis Blues, nor the Basin St. Blues, nor Mood Indigo it's .iust that all smart colors for spring are blued. Red shades to wine, pinks to rose, rose to mauve, purplish blues, blue greys, duck blue,lighter-than-navy blues, chartreuse (yellow-green), magenta, and the fushias are the newest and the most popular colors for spring. Clothes for spring are less tailored. They have taken a swift flight back to "complete feminity." The bodice claims most of the attention along with the pencil slim waist line and ruffled petticoats which will be allowed to show. Little girl fashions are indicated in fluffy ruffles on play suits, little edges of lace on frocks, puff sleeves, full skirts, streamers on hats, and ruffled petticoats. The peasant styles are giving away to town styles, which are much more easily worn becomingly for the average figure. Two shades of lipstick that will be a "must" in the smart girl's make-up are a clear red, and a version of the orchid shade (to blend with the dozens of new orchid shades and variations) . In perfume, two coming trends are notable: spicy herbal and sophisticated bouquet. New fingernail polish shades are the soft delicate pinks and the deeper orchid shades. Speaker and Debaters Will Go East Virginia, Minnesota, home of the Swedes, will be hosts to a carload of Weberites (Phi Rho Pi version) April 3rd at the national debate tourney. L. H.

To our left is a huge hall filled with pipe-organ and other people. A man in a brown suit is saying with much gusto. "Please make your announcements as brief as possible." A tinv gusto wind blows us out again. We come to the conclusion that this is the aforementioned convention of boiler makers.Suddenly, a great silence draws us like a magnet toward two closed doors at the end of the hall. Not a murmur greets our listening ears. Not a head is turned in our direction. How quiet, how peaceful is everything? (Ans. : that depends on the amount of noise, of which there isn't any.) On our tiptoes we descend the stairs and make our exit from the edifice. Faint with fatigue, we wonder why in the heck they don't have elevators! Street |
