Increased classroom space, new modern facilities, expanded curricula, a larger faculty, and an enlarged extra-curricular program, all ready and waiting for a record smashing student enrollment, will assure parallel or even greater recognition this year. Weber has long been a recognized leader in terminal and transfer education capable of giving to its students a variety of academic or vocational courses, instructed by a highly competent faculty, that equals or surpasses that of any lower-division institution in the rocky mountain area. Weber graduates of the pre-professions, humanities, social sciences, and other departments, have been leaders in higher-division classes of the nation's universities. Nor is Weber a school where all is study with no play. Student body officers have promised the most active year in the school's history, beginning with the Flaming "W" Hike September 20. A strong Wildcat eleven, who are expected to trounce all comers, will meet the McKinley Mikalums from Hawaii in a battle that is expected to match anything in the college's fifty years of football thrills. The Weber basketball quintet, last year"s inter-mountain jaycee hoop champs, will seek top competition among western teams. Looking at the whole picture, it appears that Weber is on the threshold of its greatest year in all departments and activities. It is another realization of the Weber family's constant cry for a ureater weber College.

After treading gingerly over the brand new varnish job on the floor of the hallway leading to our fourth floor Signpost retreat, brushing the dust from ye olde typewriter, and giving the trusy dictionary a hasty glance, seems we're ready to burst forth with more of our uninspired literature. Such excitement there is around this college. Rumor has it that all the professors are clamoring for classrooms in the new buildings. And only last spring nobody wanted to move. Daffynitions Joker A jestnut. Baby Mother's little yelper. Gossip A person with a keen sense of rumor. Education The knowledge that a chorus girl gets by stages and a college girl by degrees. College bread A four year loaf made with father's dough. Mother-in-law One who should be careful not to go to far, unless she stays there.' Dignity The one thing that can't be preserved dn alcohol. Saint A dead sinner revised and edited. Seemed good to see so many members of the "Weber Family" obviously enjoying themselves at the Vacation Dance. Ruth parties too, make it evident that whether classwork starts or not the social side of Weber's college life is clicking.
