I find myself in the position of guardian to my sister's daugh- ter, a charming but innocent girl of eighteen, whose experience with life has been, to say the least, limited.

Can you see yourself behind the footlights with all eyes focused upon you? If so, you should be in Mr. Allred's acting class this quarter. It is a class designed to bring out your Katherine Hepburn talents, if any, and give you an opportunity to appear if not before a vast audience, at least before the class. The students have recently been having just such a chance. Each one chose to dramatize a brief scene from some popular play. Scenses were chosen from such plays as William Saro-yan's "The Beautiful People," Robert E. Sherwood's "There "Shall Be No Night," and Pat rick Hamilton's "Gaslight." In the brief sketches from these and other plays there were some such high points of emotionalism that everyone watching nearly burst into floods of tears. It was ' an entertaining period for those who didn't spend the biggest part cf the time await- ! ing their turns and working themselves up into a state of nervous prostration or perspiration, as the case might be. A little later on in the quarter you may have a chance to observe in action some of Weber college's Katherine Cornells and John Barrymores. Their intentions are to prepare some one-act plays to present in our own assembly and in other schools as well. Blair for Business Manager FILL it fto present it as yet.

D. C. Dear D. C, Stop. Oracle Dear Oracle: I am the first pilot on a B-24 and I take my duties seriously, especially as regards my crew. I am genuinely interested, not only in the way they do their jobs on the ship, but in their private lives as well. That brings me to my tale. I have noticed an extreme case of animosity among my tail gunner, waist gunner, bombardier and navigator. Upon investigation, I found thatt all four of these men are writing to the same girl, and they all think they are engaged to her. You can see that this would present quite a problem, because without team work, a crew will not be able to do their job on the plane during, combat to their full capacity. How can I make these lads give up this petty rivalry? It's really so silly, because I'm engaged to this girl myself. Fred -"-H" T?TT - , Dear Fred: I would be interested in learn ing this girl's name. If it's who I think it is, this column will be happy to send the names and addresses of six pursuit pilots, two lieutenant commanders with the fleet, five seabees, and fourteen Marines ranging in rank from private to major. These boys are all engaged to the same girl, too, and have started a club. If it is the same girl, they will be de- lighted to have you five join the organization, becuase as yet they haven't got any bomber Se e s He Easter morning a group of' Chanodo girls, representative of every year of the club's exist- ence met for the annual alumnae breakfast at eight a. m. in the Hotel Ben Lomond ballroom.

Pat Jurgens: Heavens no, that's how we know the Signpost.Mary Lou McCune: Yes, if I remember correctly its appear' ance. Lou Jean Scoffield: I think it's cute the way it is. I really do. Lorella Sorenson: A change is as good as a rest. Yes. Lorna Grix: I think it's okay as it is. Harold Tippets: I think the entire head should be changed name and all. Gene Nye: No, absolutely no. Ray Dabb: Imagine the attitude of the alumni. No, it shouldn't be changed. Kathryn Thornely: It looks fine to me, but if something better comes atong I'm in favor of it. Traditions are okay, in their place but can be overdone. Mr. Neville: No, if you change the masthead the tradition of the paper is eliminated. In about 1934 a bulletin board was placed in the Moench building called the Signpost, whereon letters and other news items of Weber were posted. From this begin ning the newspaper came about and as the 3;gnpost it has become a tradition. Arline West: If it's a tradi- " " crews as memDers. Don't fail to let me hear from you.

Many briglit summer colors and classic styles filled Weber s halls with a bit of the warmth spring is supposed to bring. Red, as usual, was the predominent color and the dresses were very attractive, individual and varied in styling. Tiki girls attracted attention on Wednesday with their orig inal new spring uniforms. The dress consisted of a dainty white eyelet bodice attacned to a gath- ered skirt. .of floral-chintz. High cap sleeves and neck piping of chintz completed the outfit. The highly padded shoulders gave the girls that modern look and the dress itself proved very ef fective. I Chanodo maids appeared in clever brown and white striped pinafore dresses with full gathered skirts, large patch pockets and white ric-rac trimmed ruffles. White buttons ran frfim the neck line to the waist band in the back, and ruffles from shoulder to waist down the front. White bows or green buttons on a white inset dickie were an occasional bit of trim. A few white eyelet dresses skirts and ties in the front were discovered to belong to Oto-ykwa. Although few in number the dresses were attractive and a vivid reminder that summer isn't far away.
