It was presented in colorful scenes, some of which were; "Mistress Mary", "Bobby Shaf-toe", "Bonnie and the Bunnies", in which Thelma Betteridge sang "I Love a Rabbit", one of the highlights of the program. Other nursery rhymes which were dramatized were, "Little Miss Muffet". "The Wedding of Jack and Jill". "The Wedding of Jack and Jill" concluded the performance, with Nancy Chartdler as Jack and Carol Huss as Jill. Alta Hirst acted as advisor to the girls throughout the production of the scenes. Spring Was Here, But Not for Long Summer weather (according to the calendar) comes in with a burst of sun on June 21. Around the Weber campus though it seems that "Spring sprung, and the grass riz" for two short weeks, and then the temperature riz also. T-shirts and well ventilated dresses are now the uniform of the day; instructors report a great increase in absences and tardiness in the rooms of learning. The Men's lounge is once more in great favor and the hardy souls who braved winter's worst to keep it going have now been joined by their many Dretnren. Sights and sounds: The lucky lads with their convertible tops down cruising around the town. W. C. girls strolling on Washington Blvd. enjoying the summer night, perhaps a young man's fancy turns but doesn't the females also and not to baseball. "Abe" Thorne erasing his name from the summer class list, guess Russ doesn't want to take Chem. 4. Boys at the dorm sun tanning on the roof and the neighboring office stenos straining their eyes. Several of the men students were reported buying hobbles in preparation for Sadie Hawkins day. Where is my swimming suit, no lab today. New Management Frenisti Will Reorganize Frenisti, recently inactivated men's club, will once more take its place among the social fraternities on the campus. According to Merlin Sorensen, active promoter of the club, a group of students are busy organizing and enlisting members, who, under the guidance of Dr! Ross Hardy, will become active at the beginning of the Fall Quarter toward the social betterment of Weber College. Winners of Beard Test Announced Winners of Associated Men Students beard growing contest were announced last Friday evening at the whisker frolic in the College ballroom. Bert Corkey took honors for sprouting the longest and heaviest growth while Lowell Belnap with a most unusual trim and Laurence Siler with the longest fuzz, received awards in the other two divisions of the contest. Dick Farr, president of A. M. S., was in charge of the dance. Judges were Betty Sturm, Edna Peterson, Marilyn Robinson and Darlene Bit-ton.Debaters Journey To Natl Tourney Weber's forensic team will journey to Gooding, Oklahoma, to participate in the National Invitational Debate Tournament, May 16-17, it was announced by Doug Moore. Panhandle A & M has issued invitations to any college interested in participating in the debate. Those making the trip will be Doug Moore. Laurence Burton, Winn Richards and Haynes Fuller. Moore went on to say that there will be no national Phi Rho Pi meet this year. 18 Soph Candidates Nominated for Top Posts of Largest W. C. Class Six candidates from a field compete for three steering posts in Weber's largest sophomore class in final class elections next Wednesday. Results of the primary elections held yesterday wre unavailable at th time this paper went to press. Six Nominees Left for AWS Final Associated Women Students climbed onto the election bandwagon April 28 with the nominations for the three AWS offices for next year. All but six of the 15 nominees for the three positions were eliminated In the May 1 primary, and while election results were not available as the SIGNPOST went to press, Roma Lou Buckner and Bonnie Vogt were in the race for president ; Carma Baggs and Carol Huss were vying for the vice president's chair and Ruth Crawford is competing with Janet Storey for the office of secretary. Polls for the final election opened Thursday and results of six races will be named today. Aside from Misses Buckner, Vogt, Baggs, Storey, Huss and Crawford the girls running in the primaries were Barbara Blanche and Olga de Giorgia for president; La Rue Peterson, Ida Jean Stuart, Clara Rol-lison and LaRene Rhees for vice president and Maurine Fowler, La-Rue Higley and Janice Peterson for secretary. The winners will supervise AWS activities for the coming school year with the help of the dean of women, who acts as adviser for the group, which includes all feminine Wild cats. Ruth Dixon acted as president for the past year and headed the planning for such activities as Print Dress Week, Charm Week and the AWS banquets. Skunk Hollow Epic Elvira Fangelsnap Sees Poor Fish Being Hooked "There was a large run at school, with most of the poor fish being hooked," stated Miss Elvira Fanglesnap today. Carefully buffing the shining spikes of her lightweight track shoes, she went on to say, "It was really a may day for all those concerned women have been chasing men subversively for years but Sadie Hawkins day at least allowed them to come out into the open about it all." The men on the campus, restive under the impending cloud of gloom, heard the news and immediately made plans to hie unto the mountains with the remnants of their beards and supplies to last out the duration of the siege. One Skull member has pur chased a small fortune worth of maps; said after the eagle screamed him for the timber. (Timber wolf. Rather rocky). For the last couple of days, the men who have had a haunted hunted look, sense they have been under close scrutiny. Even so, Jack Gibbons, graduate of the school of hard knocks, and authority on Irish wakes, asked, "do we have to run fast, or just keep up with appearances?" Don Jardine, notorious artist of the neo-classicum period, remarked "I'm glad I'm not fast!" Several leaders of the persecuted have issued statements concerning the terrible rout expected this afternoon. Laurence Burton stated grimly he expected that it would be a rather racy affair. Dale Russell issued the ultimatim that it would be every man for himself. Incidentally, while the cats play, the mice will be away making rats of themselves. The faculty is going to make a short he-gira to the new campus site. There they will discuss where to place nurseries for the tender young seedlings (hay hay) to be transplanted there. It'll be a picnic. Later the faculty men will join the gentlemen in the other canyon, while, as Miss Fanglesnap observed, the Daisies will be left holding the bag during the afternoon and especially in the evening at Otyokwa's annual Skunk Hollow Stomp. At this swank soiree, a prize will be given to the best dressed replicas of charming Daisy and handsome Lil' Abner. Carlos Martindell, veteran of three Dogpatch Days, said that Otyokwa's Sadie Hawkins Day was quite representative of spring, and that usually the girls showed great enthusiasm during the race, and throughout the day. But in past years the girls caught their man but didn't ask him to the dance as they felt that it was rather embarrassing for them to ask the boy. As a result, there aren t enough men at the dance women either. In a dramatic conclusion to newsmen, Miss Fanglesnap appealed, "Women of Weber! Are you going to let this statement go unchallenged? Arise! Chase these notions out of the campus if need be and run them down to earth! Remember the motto. If he is free, in possession of limited mental facilities and over five years of age, snap that bag!" of 18 primary nominations will Candidates for the three sopno-more class offices in yesterday's primary elections were presidential candidates Mark Petrich, Wilbur Braithwaite, Glen Nelson, Fred Adams, Brent Scott and Owen Koch; vice-president candidates Rae Jones, Donna Baker, Ruth Crawford, Betty Sturm and Diane Hunsaker, and secretary candidates Dean Hurst, Neva Thomas, LuJean Gibby, Bob McKennon, Maurine Fowler, Jack Gibbons and Louise Ellis. Sophomore proxy candidates Pet-rich, Adams and Scott were also contenders for the ASWC president post in student body elections last month. Hunsaker and Ellis were candidates for student body secretary. Hurst was a candidate for student body treasurer. Appointive Office The sophomore class historian, an office vacated by Laurence Bur ton's election to the top student body office, will be appointed by the class elective officers, Mel Thavne. soph prexy, announced. This vear's freshman board of control representative Frank Blair will take hold of reins left empty by sophomore representative Willis Wynn to represent next year s sopn class in Weber s controlling Doay. Board of Control Also representing Weber's largest class on the Board of Control will be the class president-elect Outgoing officers who have led upper-clasmen during the past three quarters are Melvin Thayne president; Carol Spackman, vice- president; Marilyn Robinson, secre tary, and Kay Randall, class his torian. All of these officers have been active in directing class and student body activities since their election last year. Soph Activities Among the activities that the sophomore class has directed and presented this year was the Orchid Ball, annual sophomore class formal dance, and freshmen initiations with the sophomore outing and commencement exercises yet to be presented. Polling booths for the final election Wednesday will be located in the gymnasium building and will be open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. in accordance with constitutionalprovision. jFive Victorious m ASWC April Elections Bv Dolores Moon With student body elections over the limelight now turns to the successful candidates. Their fitness and eligibility for their respective offices has been proven and the whole of the student body of Weber college looks to a successful 1947-48.Larry Williamson As business manager, students have chosen Larry Williamson as their representative. Larry is known to all for his jovial spirit, his dependability and cooperative ideals. During the past year he has been the main cog behind the wheels of parties, dances, and other social affairs which involved the whole student body. As a member of Phoenix, Larry has proven that though he is affiliated he will not let the fact interfere with his position. Larry is definitely Weber first. Bert Corkey The office of treasurer is being filled by "Bearded Corkey". Bert is well known to all and a friend even to stray cats. How could you help but know Corkey, what with that beard. Speaking of his beard, it climaxed one of the happiest days in his life. Bert won the beard growing contest, outclassing all other "rough characters." Right now his main interest, other than his successful campaign is Cleo. Come on Bert, kiss and make up. Shirley Chambers "Demure and efficient" Shirley Chambers took the heart of male members of Weber college. Our secretary-elect is a dark-haired girl, with a personality plus. Her adaptability to learning is evidenced by the library she lugs to and from school every day. Even at the old alma mater, Ogden high, ouuiey couia nave caused an earthquake by dropping some of those books and notes. We need have no fears about her efficiency for the office. Jane Ann Slater If freckles were money then Jane Ann Slater would be a "million dollar baby". Jane Ann, who is prexy of the new club Sharmea has already proven her abilities by placing Sharmea among the leading clubs of the campus. Under her guidance the club has risen and now holds the social limelight. "Get married like your dear old dad-Jane" along with Marilyn "Dean Hurst" Mills and Donna "Rulon Garfield" Baker knocked their audience into incarnation at last week's assembly. Jane Ann can smile her way into anything and that's just what she did. Smiled her way right up to the office of vice-president. She's one smile that makes us all happy. Laurence Burton President-elect for the coming school year is Laurence Burton. The name is enough to make anyone turn and take a second look. So here is a second look at Laurence for those who haven't the strength to turn. Laurence returned to the campus this year after a term in the navy. As a naval gunner he made his "Mark!" He stepped right into the shoes that fit him best, being chairman of the assembly committee and historian of the freshman class. His Varsity Vignettes contribution led to that trio mentioned above. Oh, well it could happen to anyone! His main contribution to the school at the present time is keeping the present vice-president, Janice Shupe. by name, happy. Bryce and Zion Tours Planned The first trip this year of geology and geography students to Zion and Bryce will leave Weber college at 5:30 a. m. May 15, it was announced by Mr. Walter Buss, professor of Geology. Students who wish to go must see Mr. Buss or Dr. Hardy at least a week before the trip. The second group will leave May 22. The cost of the trip, $16.00, will be payable at the treasurer's office on May 12 and 19 respectively. Mr. Buss said the students would reach Zion on the first day and stay there that night and the following day. They would then proceed to Bryce and stay there until Sunday morning when they will return to Ogden.
