Show December 8, 1950 SIGNPOST Page 3 Christmas Gifts Are Set in es By Dell Foutz Christmas wit By Nit. Only 13V shopping- days remain before Christmas, so hurry and get your money spent and be broke with the rest of the crackpots. Having recently conducted an impartial poll, Signpost is happy to report the Christmas wishes of the campus. Most of the boys want a cute blond, about 5'3", weight 115 with all desirable trimmings. Val Richardson is more particular though; he wants one dozen Betty Grables handled with care and no bruises. Joe Florence seems to be satisfied with what he has, so we won't bother him any Morris. Since Larry Evans plans to quit teaching because there is more money in newspaper, Santa had better give him a cedar chest to hide his money. Darlene Powell never mind she's got it! Ray Smith is contemplating "Petty" larceny. Who needs a Santa Claus? It's hard to tell what Mr. Buss and Mr. Lambert could use because they go around with rockf in their heads so much of the time Wayne Carver may need a bul" whip and smelling salts to aid him in his 9 a.m. bonehead English class for winter quarter. Young Mosquitoes Dr. Young needs some building blocks to take his mind off the Mosquito Abatement District, which doesn't operate in the winter "Shorty" Bill Hull wants a bow and arrow to help distinguish him with his new title. You can tell what President Dixon wants just by watching the dollar signs in his eyes. Weber's girls want the boys to stay home. Weber's boys want to accommodate Weber's girls. Mrs. Hall has been sending out her Christmas greetings all along. The ones that read: Dear , You are among those students failing one or more etc. Lola Argyle wants a she's wearing one, you get one, step on it! Whatever you want, be it a new Cadillac, a girl, a man, skis, or Four Roses; let's all pray that Joe "Stalling" will at least let us have a white Christmas.

Ihe Crosby family, Gary, Phillip, Dennis, Lindsay.and Bing bring to us "A Crosby Christmas". Many family hearts will warm to such tunes as "The Snowman',, parts one and two of "That Christmas Feeling", and parts one" and two of "I'd Like to Hitch a Ride With Santa Claus',, on two sides of one record. " "Twas The Night Before Christmas" is done in familiarly fine fashion by Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. The orchestra, glee club, and soloists are included in this album. The small fry (and grown-ups too) could sit spellbound around a dancing fire or tinsely tree and listen to two especially fine albums. Gregory Peck has done "Lullaby of Christmas" and Loretta Young has done "The Littlest Angel' for the Decca company. Boh of these Hollywood stars are backed by superb musical arrangements by Carmen Dragon and Victor Young respectively. To really set your holiday spirits soaring you should reflect upon Lennie Tristano's recording of the Jerome Kern ballad "Yesterdays". The piano and guitar solos appear to be well-thought-out and care fully expressed. "Intuition" is the backing tune which also presents cool and casually expressed jazz. It's on Capitol. Freddy Martin's "Sleigh Ride" takes us out of the picture at last. Violins are plucked pizzicato style to lend an impression of motion and gaity. "Christmas Time" backs it. La Dianaeda The members of the L. D. will be entertained by their pledges at a party during the yule season and on Christmas Eve, some needy family will receive a great deal of happiness from these girls in the form of a Christmas box. L. D.'s party with Sigma Delta Pi was a great success for both clubs. - Chcanado The Merry Maids held their pledge ceremony on November 15 at Bertha Eccles Hall; members and pledges attended a picture show to complete their evening of fun. Chanodo announces as its new pledge officers: Valene Kelly, Annette Andelin, and Janet Maddock as president, vice-president and secretary respectively. Skull The pledges of Skull, (Jack Alberts, Kent Arave, Boyd Carlson. Ellis Christensen, Lee Fiet, Chuck Hayward, Bob Jackson, Gerald Mosier, Dale Nelson, Bill Patterson Jack Peterson, Reed Rands, Roy Russell, Grant Schow,, Jim Sullivan and Eugene Swenson,) already are strongly behind the club officers and active in club functions. They are contemplating a party with Chanodo for the end of the quarter, and another with L. D. early in January of Winter quarter. Sharmea Plans for a Christmas charity box are being layed by the Pink Ladies who will have a slightly lightened test week as a result of their traditional Goat Show, a party given by the pledges during this week. Pledge officers for Sharmea are: Alice Nye, president; Donna Sneddon, vice president, and Treva Harper, secretary. Tiki The smilin' gals of Tiki are planning a truly wonderful Christmas season, complete with parties and more parties.

Feature euent of the evening is the introduction of Phoenix's sweetheart by President Dixon during the intermission. The sweetheart will be presented the club CHUCK'S WAGON Traffic Tribulations Trip Tragic Trepid Travelers I commented in this column not-long ago on the fact that I had a wreck for an automobile. A few students have. been asking me just what model it is. Well, it's not a model at all, it's a horrible example. ' "" " George was sitting in the car the other day, when I came out to work on it, and after fooling around with the horn button he turned and said, "Hey Chuck, do you know your horn is broken?" "it ain't broken, "Naw," I says, it's just inditterent. "Indifferent? What kind of horn is an indifferent one?" 5 "It just doesn't give a toot.' (I hope you'll forgive me for that corny one dear readers but I just couldn't control myself.) I'll never forget when George first learned to drive. The first thing George did when we got into traffic, was to stall the car at a stop light. We sat there as the light turned from green to red to amber and back to green and then to red again. Finally a policeman who had been watching, walked over to the car, leaned on the side, smiled sweetly and said, "WHAT'S THE MATTER YA FATHEADS AIN'T WE GOT NQ COLORS YOU LIKE?" George looked at him wearily, "Ha ha," he said. "That was really funny. The first time I heard it I laughed so hard the tears rolled down my bib." Now nobody likes to be told that the joke he told wasn't funny, so the little boy in blue was happy to give us a ticket. George finally got the car started, but he let out the clutch too soon and the result was disastrous. He ran a red signal, clipped the largest part of the officer's anatomy, grazed a bus, and RADIO SERVICE DIAL 5781 Latest Hits of the Day! 2245 Washington Blvd. Ogden, Utah I A smacked into a street light. George and I were just pulling ourselves together when a pedestrian walked over and asked us. , "Have an accident?" "No thanks," said George, "We just had one." The comical cop then pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket, dropped it in the middle of the intersection.1 "Okay cowboy," he growled, "lets see you do that again, only this time pick that handkerchief up with your teeth." We laughed rather shakily and the officer glared at us. "Okay, clear that wreck out of here before I give you a ticket for obstructing traffic." We cleared out. On the way home we ran into an-othr traffic jam, only this time we didn't cause it. Two buses were directly in front of us with only a small space separating them. George headed for the space like a halfback who is touchdown bound. "No, no." I screamed and covered my eyes. When I opened them, we were through the hole and headed down the homestretch. George had gotten through without a scratch. . . . . Also without the rear fender. Everybody writes about why mothers get grey, but nobody says anything about big brothers. lota Iota's Christmas spirit will be concentrated on their combined season party and welfare project. A box of food, clothing, and toys will be prepared to send to some needy Ogden family. WHITE STAG SNOW-LIGHT SNOW-BRIGHT SNOW-RIGHT SKI TOGS PARKAS FROM . .
