Show Thursday, April 25, 1940 Page Four THE SIGNPOST HERE AND THERE By Fred Foulgrr "Ho Hum, spring Is here now" and you ought to see Rolfc play tennis. They tell me he's pretty good (but not at tennis). And speaking of tennis S. B. (Southern Branch from Idaho) is invading our courts. So far Wayne Boyle and Glen Freeman have won their doubles tournament and Blaine Felt and Wes Bolnap have lost their match and the score is tied. The singles match will be played in just a few minutes. Get that mongrel out of here! (Flash.) Weber's team is getting beat bad, we need some support out here, you rooters. The score is now four love in favor of S. B. (This is sure getting boring, isn't it Boyle?) Another game goes to S. B. I think I'll leave before we get beat. Politics Did anyone hear the campaign speeches last Friday in assembly? For the multitude that didn't, the B. S. (baloney scraps) were knee deep. Quoting Junior Reynolds, "My pant legs are ruined. They'll never come clean," unquote. There was one thing that did help to keep the morals of the student body up and that was Pete. You know he has a few wise cracks and little dry wit if you know the difference. By now you all know the results of the elections so you can guess who let out the most hot air. You know the old saying, "The one who shouts the loudest sells the most ware." (This article was written before the elections.) Spring and Effect When spring comes a young girl's fancy turns to clothes. At least that's what you'd think with all the new spring dresses floatin' around or are they just old ones that want to wear out! Oh well, no one knows the difference. P. S. Do you think the boys will make it a tradition in the future to retaliate the last day of print dress week by wearing print pants (pa-jama bottoms) ? "Keep on the walks" this sign applies to all mumble-peg players, spring lovers, lunch eaters, ball players and general bull sessions. With spring fever in the air, Wally is having a hard time getting the grass to grow. How about it, Wally? Well, boys, you'll soon have a place to go and relax because the men's lounge will soon be completed. All that is lacking is the furniture, butdon't be impatient 'cause it's all ordered. Articles included in the furniture list are: Two couches, eight straight chairs, three rockers, two card tables (for Rook or Bridge), a radio table and maybe a radio, curtains, and a rug, ping-pong tables and day beds. By the way, this furniture will have to be handled with kid gloves for it's chromium and will only stand so much rough stuff. Prof, in Ethics: I will lecture today on liars. How many of you have read the 25th chapter? Nearly all raised their hands. Prof.: That's fine. You're the very group to whom I wish to speak. There is no 25th chapter. "Backward, turn backward, 0 Time in your flight," And tell me just one thing 1 studied last night. Pathetic figure the man who got drunk in Venice and tried to lie down in the gutter. Track Team Invades Provo For B.Y.U. Meet The Weber college track team will travel to Provo Saturday, May 27, to take part in the B. Y. U. invitational track meet. Here the Wildcats will compete against the eight other Junior colleges in the Rocky Mountain conference. This meet is unique in that it is different from most other track meets because all competition is individual. Points will be based on individual participation rather than cooperated team competition, thus making it possible for a talented individual to gain much recognition.Last year Mesa Junior college from Colorado walked off with the lion's share of honors, taking nearly all first and second places. According to Coach Lossee, the Wildcats will have strong contenders in the hurdles and sprints with Ray Freeman (colored flash) excelling in sports, and Willie Thomas and Allan Christiansen in the hurdles. Alan Bader and Eldon Gardner will also be strong contenders for top honors in the high jump and broad jump. Other Weber entries who may come in for honors are Bob Lathrop in high hurdles and high jump, George Stewart in high jump and broad jump. Delmar Stone in javelin and 100-yard dash, Roy Clark in 100 and 220-yard dash, Bill Lundy in mile and half mile, Blair Evans in mile and half mile, Lamar Green in mile and half mile and high jump, Jay Green in low hurdles and half mile, Jerry Young 440-yard dash and mile relay, Frank Mann in 330 and mile relay, Howard page in 440 yard dash and mile relay, Glen Cherry in 880 and mile relay and javelin, Sylvan Godfrey in pole vault, Morris Nelson in discus and javelin, Wordle in shot put, Carl Anderson in discus and javelin. 'WHAT A LIFE' IN PROGRAM (Continued from Page One) pointed. Dr. Mitchell is planning to take the cast to Logan to see the production of "What a Life," as presented by Utah State Agricultural college. The purpose behind this trip is to gain ideas as to how they can make their own performance better. Another reason for the trip is to give the cast an opportunity to see the play as others see them. Glen Brewer has been chosen to take the part of the young principal. The part of theabsent-minded principal will be played by Clinton Price. Aaron Roylance is to be the stage manager; Mildred Saxey will be the assistant director; Lorene Taylor is in charge of properties; Dorothy Litchfield is managing the costuming, and Ross Ekins is in charge of advertising andarrangements. "I think that I shall never see a hazard rougher than a tree a tree o'er which my ball must fly, if on the green it is to lie: A tree which stands that green to guard, and makes the shot extremely hard; a tree whose leafy arms extend to kill the mashie shot I send; a tree that stands in silence there, while angry golfers rave and swear. Niblicks were made for fools like me, who cannot ever miss a tree." ENJOY! Delicious Sandwiches, Lunches and Soft Drinks While BOWLING -At- OGDEN BOWLING CENTER (Wtllard Stone) . "Play Billards In A Delightful Atmosphere" TRY TASTE-TEASING PARAMOUNT ICE CREAM DRUM STICKS FUDGES MILK NICKLES 5 at The College Book Store Tennis Leads Interest In Intra murals Tennis got under way last week even though the various social clubs did not show much enthusiasm. Many defaults were observed. This signifies a lack of interest in the much played sport. Excelsior, Skulls, Phoenix, Let-tcrmen, and Frenisti won first round battles. Phoenix shows very much promise at this point as they whipped t lie Skulls to advance to the third round of semifinals. Excelsior and Lettermen will fight for a berth in the semifinals. Frenisti drew a bye and will play the winner of theExcel-sior-Lettermen match. The singles tournament is very feeble with lack of enthusiasm. The Faculty forfeited to the Skulls. Frenisti, Vikings, Phoenix, and Engineers won their opening encounter. Phoenix should take the tennis tournament as they look strong. T. I. C, Excelsior, Sigma, and Lettermen forfeited their games. The Squash tournament shows even less promise than tennis as far as interest is concerned. All teams need a stimulus of some sort to stir them into action. T. I. C, Frenisti, Excelsior and Vikings won first rounds fracuses with Sigma drawing a bye. Round three of semi-finals shows Sigma, Frentisti, and Excelsior fighting for the honors. One team has as good a chance as the other. Without more support, Squash is doomed to failure as far as the general public of Weber college is concerned. The doubles tournament is a little more lively. Frentisti, T. I. C. and Excelsior won opening round battles last week. Excelsior should take the doubles as they appear all powerful in the tournament to date. Excelsior and Engineers are in semi-finals. Mr. Davis has my sympathy in handling these tournament because of lack of cooperation among social clubs of our school. Golfers Defeat Idaho Link Team Weber college golfers drove the "little white pill" around the El Monte course last Friday to defeat the Idaho Southern Invaders by a large margin. Eddie Harper, last year Idaho State amateur golf champion, made the only three points for his team when he defeated Hulmstrom of Weber. The final results were 9 to 3 for Weber. Weber. Idaho (S. B.) Hulstrom 0Harper 3 Shannon 3Toolson 0 Croft 3Roubrdiox 0 Austad 301sen 0 Total 9 Total 3 The team will journey to Idaho for a return match this week. "We expect a victory but the match will be tough," states Coach Bob Davis. "Our unfamiliarity with course will be our main trouble." Wildcat Netmen Lose to Idaho Wildcat racquet swingers, captained by Wayne Boyle, dropped four out of six matches to the team from Southern Branch of Idaho on the Lester Park courts Friday. Boyle and Glen Freeman, numbers one and two for the Weber aggregation, defeated Bob Packard and Ransom Winder by the sceres 8-6, 6-2. West Belnap and Blaine Felt lost to Eliot Bonham and Bob Pauls of the visiting team, 6-3, 6-4. In the singles matches Glen Clarke was downed by Ransom Winder, 6-1, 6-3; Ray Freeman by Bob Packard, 6-0, 6-4, and Wayne Boyle fell under the onslaught of Bob Pauls, 6-3, 6-4. Conny Pearce of Weber came through with a win over Eliot Bonham in the closest match of the day by a score of 6-4, 5-7, 8-6. Before this meet Weber had engaged the tennis team from Ogden High in a practice match as a preliminary to the Southern Branch of Idaho contest. And then there was the sophomore who said that getting along with girls was just like making pie. All you need is a lot of crust and some applesauce. er Doubl es irney Caught in the execution of a forehand, Glen Freeman, practices up for the BYU invitational.

Coach Bob Davis is confident that his doubles team consisting of Captain Wayne Boyle and Glen Freeman will go far in attaining victory, but expects a hard fight. Tennis men from nine junior colleges will compete for honors. One team of doubles and a singles representative will come from each college. Geologists Travel To Southern Utah Weber college geology students, to date 45 strong, will depart from the campus at 6 a. m. Wednesday, May 1, on their fifth annual tour of southern Utah parks, according to Walter Buss, tour manager. Included in the group's itinerary are the three national parks, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon and Zion's National park. Stops will be made at intermediate points on the way for lectures by Mr. Buss. "If enough students agree to go," stated Mr. Buss, "we will take a second buss which will accommodate twenty-five students in addition to the 45 already signed up. No one need be afraid of the snow," he concluded, "it's all melted away." Students will take their own camping equipment, and also, unfortunately, will do their own cooking. The total cost of the trip for each student will be under $9. Mrs. Clarisse Hall will also probably accompany the group as another faculty representative. Plans call for a return by Sunday night. A polished gentleman is not always bright. "As a whole this is quite a nice room, isn't it?'' "Yea, but as a bedroom it'sterrible."

Women in The Sports ELECTION By Kathleen Davis Bernice McEntire was elected president of W. A. A. for the year 1941, it was learned in exclusive announcement for the Signpost, Wednesday, April 25. The election was held among the women students of Weber college to determine the W. A. A. officers for next year. "They are all grand workers," said Miss Ruth Jacobs, W. A. A. president for the past year, when asked for a statement on the results of the election. "I'm sure that W. A. A. will progress under their leadership. All of the candidates that were nominated were competent, and I feel sure that they will all stand behind the officers, just as they have supported this years officers." Miss Marian Sander was elected intramural manager; Mary Dyer, secretary; and Ardell Russell, publicity manager. Evelyn Stewart, Ruth Webb, and Michie Sato were elected as the three new sports managers. The inauguration of the new officers will take place sometime this spring. "Fisical Ferns" Weber's dance drama took its toll in life, limb and property. The girls were nursing bruises and blisters, eliminating meals from their schedules, and doing everything else that goes with work, good hard work. At any time of the day or night of the two weeks directly preceding the drama, you could find one or more groups practicing on any available floor space that the gymnasium had to offer. Miss Ida Stewart, as director, was doing the work of an entire trio, and teaching, too. Lillian Lund was in charge of the publicity. Did you notice the lavish array of signs that bedecked the campus, and were tacked up in the Moench building? For Humor Speaking of tacks, Ethel Hogge stepped on one during drama practice. Marie Manning chased her all over the gymnasium with a bottle of Merthiolate. Ruth Jacobs had trouble keeping the blisters on her feet taped. Overheard There were several disinterested spectators when "Bashful" Bonnie Murphy attempted to retrieve the diving brick from the bottom of "Bashful" Bonnie Murphy; I can't find it. Coach Lossee: Well, try again. B. B. M. : I can't see a thing down there. Coach: Do you open your eyes? As Inspectors Watch Weber Fledglings It's always fair weather when airmen get together, whether they be amateurs or veterans. Talking it over here are Jack Poorman, left, first Weber college student to pass his flight examination; E. E. Hughes, aeronautical inspector from Salt Lake City; William Gibson, student from North Ogden who is about to take off for part of his flight; R. H. Lees, senior aeronautical inspector from Oakland, Calif., and E. R. Scroggie of Santa Monica, Calif., senior aeronautical inspector in charge of the general inspection section, CAA Sixth region, which includes Utah, Nevaada, California and Arizona. The three insDectors were in Orjden, examining a number of the Weber colleae students. Fencers Triumph Over Utah Aggies Weber's fencing teams were out-touched by the A. C. fencers last Friday by a narrow margin of four out of five matches for the women, and seven out of nine for the men's teams. This is Weber's second defeat of the season, having lost once to the U. of U. They have won two matches from Carbon, and one from the A. C Women fencers for Weber, Marie Manning and Beryl Dickens, won two out of three of their matches. Norma Jones was the other fencer. Bob Peterson, Don Fronk, Earnest Cook, all won two out of three and Paul Thatcher won one of his three matches. A three-way meet between the A C, U. of U. and Weber for fencers to be held at the U. of U. are the tentative plans for the near future. Not after I get under printed without per- B. B.

AS THOUGHTS FLIT AROUND IN PHYSICS TEN Reed Coray to Rolfe Peterson: The somnambulistic meanderings of a perverted psychopath constitute the most incomprehensible phenomenon in the modern era. Rolfe Peterson to Reed Coray: Midst the sublime superfluity of one such has Coray, one can only exhale audibility and philosophize upon the devious cogitations of a catacomb-mind a cerebellic vacuum.P. S. You sap! Coray to Peterson: You, sir. are a chronological anachronism. A throwback to era, eons ago, when mm had more sensitive olfactory nerves and a prehensile tail. I do not mention the mind because such a thing was unknown. Peterson to Coray: Upon you, sir, I can only lavish the sympathy of a broad mind. I am one who will forgive the slan derous aspersions of a puerile nonentity, but I cannot help wondering at the workings of an ironic fate a fate which allows a newt with a dinosauric mind to affect the meanor of a "man." Coray: ' Having recourse only to factual data, I can but rest my contentions upon the qualities of my syllogistic logic. You, on the other hand, are inebriated with the profusion of your own verbosity. A mental flea leaping from premise to conclusion. A sty in the eye of knowledge is the only fit appellation for such an intellectual note as you. Peterson: A super-abundance of clever phrase-carpentry can never obliterate the magnitudinous superiority which I emotionally nurse concerning one Coray. Prolific And Professor Clark called on Mr. Peterson. SPORT OF WAR Recently, Claramay Patterson received a letter from a friend in the European war zone. It might prove interesting .... Woodland Lodge, Harroga,te College, Harrogate, England Mar. 14, 1940 Dear Claramay: Absolutely nothing has been happening here, except for occasional gas-mask drills. Everybody is knitting helmes, socks, scarves and sweaters for the soldiers. I also had to learn first aid. There was a fancy dress party on Shrove Tuesday, but I did not go as I had neuralgia, which was a great pity. We were allowed in the town for three-quarters of an hour. It is rather a small place but very pretty with a lovely bay surrounded by cliffs. We perched on one of them for our lunch. After, we had tea in one of the hotels, and then departed for college. We had a topping time! You asked me to write a bit about Harrogate college, where I am staying now. We just started school, so will not get out until the middle of April for holidays, which will last three days. In your last letter, you wrote that you have no holidays during the nine months from September 'til June, except for ten days at Christmas. How awful that must be! However, you have a vacation each Saturday and Sunday; while we have to go to school on Saturday and to chapel twice on Sunday. Harrogate college is a ladies' school, composed of seven buildings. The main building houses about one hundred and thirty girls, four buildings house sixty - five girls In each, and the other buildings house twenty. We have a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a bridle path for horse-backriders. Young Mens and Mans Suits.
