The average Texas family spends 25 per cent of its income for food, 14 per. cent for rent, find 12 per cent for car expenses. Clothing comes in fourth with nine per cent. Average expenditure for education in Texas families is approximately $100 a year.

Students Warm Up for First Dance of the Year . . . The above picture was used in the first issue of Signpost tf Things Students Would Like To Know About BY LORRETTA HEINZ There are some things we never knew and never will know. Let's begin with some easy brain-teasers. Keep your own score but cheating will not be tolerated. 'Tain't fair! Why are the covers of those exam booklets colored blue instead of a dull gray? Dull gray would be more appropriate considering the state of mind of students taking exams. (Hint: they aren't colored that color because they're called "blue books".) Where does Mr. JIayes get those brightly colored neckties, particularly that yellow one with the cattle brands thereon? Why doesn't someone make the interest in the street dance which was held the week before school opened. though the team ended up in sec ond place in the dual meet contests, the Wildcat hoopsters came through in the intermountain junior college tournament by snaring first place over the courtiers from Dixie junior college. This tournament was held in the Ogden high school gymnasium under the direction of Ferron Losee. It was long talked of as one of the main sports events of the winter months in Ogden. Out of this winter's basketball competition, numerous stars were crowned from Weber. Co-captains Jay Hancey and Bob Bell played bang-up ball all season; Hancey being the leading scorer of the league. Wat Misaka, named the outstanding player of the tournament, proved to be the saving spirit of the team in more games than one this winter. Max Jensen, an other scrapping forward, with his ability to cover the floor in practically nothing flat was one of the main cogs of this year's aggregation. Norman Fox was declared by many of the local sports writers to be one of the best guards in the loop and also possessed a confidence which was vital to the winning spirit of the team. Champion Swimmers Another sport of the winter which brought probably more favorable reports from the outside than any other single group was tion from this team in next year's competition. Tennis and Golf As we emerge from the snow-covered winter months, we find that now tennis and golf are taking the spotlight along with track. These teams are at present In the middle of their competition and should all show themselves to be equal to the participants in the above-named events. In tennis this year, the most outstanding contenders are Dwight Freeman, Mac-Lean Johnson, Dan Drumiler, Joe Wedell, Don Shaub, John Piers, George Shimizu, and Ned String-ham. We look forward to some league championships from thl. group of netters. Track stars of the current season include Captain Willie Thomas, Douglas Eldredge, Don Andrews, J. M. Heslop, John Piers, Bob Allen, Bob Huggins, Lex Malan, Floyd Champneys, Louis Slagow-ski, Bob Petty, LaMar Buckner, and Jay Olson. In recent track meets this group has shown up quite well and should give a good account of themselves in the coming meets. Golf is yet in its infancy, but with better weather, a good team should be developed from such players as Vern Oberhansley, Bill Hinds, Ted Boyle, Larry Garr, Jack Luddington, and Jay Hancey on the playing list. Presidential Candidates . . . jj Before Jack Larsen had a chance to relax in his job as student body president, he was called to the army. Another election was held for his position.

Could the law of diminishing returns have anything to do with the scarcity of A's in Mr. West's classes? If you know, don't tell any one else; we want to keep it secret.Is Mr. Nilsson right in claiming that his contribution to defense was a great increase in the number of "D's" he gave out winter quarter? Do you know who chose the Wildcat symbol for the school and why? Because of the factors involved, please limit this answer to not more than two thousand words.
