Show Page 2 SIGNPOST June 2, 1959 Editorial Word totSie Wonderful As evidenced by the fact of the Award Assembly held Friday, it is evident that some congratulations are in order to the outstanding students who received these honors. The number of awards given also illustrated the fact this has been an eventful year for Weber. Weber's debaters have produced what can perhaps be called their most successful year. In the many tournaments in which they took part, not once did the team finish below second place in sweepstakes. At Least One First They won their share of individual honors also. In every tournament, Weber took at least one first place. In drama the college also excelled. "Martha" and "The Taming of the Shrew" provided many unforgetable moments of pleasure for the audience. Other productions were equally well-prepared and the appearance of Jane Darwell gave many students a chance to act with this great award-winning actress. Another highlight of the year was the passage of the four-year college bill. Long hours of hard and tiring work paid off as as our leaders finally realized the fulfillment of a much desired goal. Crowning Achievement Perhaps the crowning touch to the entire year was the capture of the National JUCO Basketball Championship by the Wildcat team. This brought additional prestige to Weber. Many awards were won by individual students, too numerous to mention. They also deserve congratulations. It appears then that many students are given opportunities to participate in many activities at Weber. They gain something that students, in large institutions miss during their first years. , The awards were definite proof of that. Weber's Great Distance Runner Lands First Sn Two Mile at Hutch Letters Dear Editor: I would like to express my appreciation to the students here at Weber for their honesty and respect for things left in private cars in the parking lot. Several times I have left books and my jacket in my car while I was in class. I was almost surprised to find them undisturbed when I returned. The school I came from was not famous for honesty of this kind. Sometimes even locked cars were not enough to keep thieves out. Not Different I became curious when I found my things still in my car here and decided to look around to see whether anyone else had done the same thing. Several of the cars around mine had books or something in them and some even had the windows rolled down. I am proud to be associated with the student body of Weber College and am glad that I decided to attend this school. Leroy Yorgason. MIGHTY GOOD EATING Mat G&t 4 DRIVE-IN 3809 Riverdale Rd. Congra tu lations to the Senior Class of Weber College 2305 Washington Blvd. With the coming of each sport throughout the year Weber has turned out some very outstanding performers who have earned national recognition. , First, there was Leroy Over-street, All-American Jr. College end in football. Then Allen Holmes marked himself as one of the best eagers in the nation by being an ' All-American for two consecutive i years. Weber turned out one of the J best distance runners that the national track meet has seen in ! several years in the person of rangy Truce Truman. Truce went into the national meet with very rugged competition. He had never run the two-mile race under ten minutes. Ran With One Shoe Truce showed through his season performances that he had what it takes. In the BYU invitational he won by a full lap. Throughout the remainder of the season he and Terry Jensen from Ricks always fought it out for first and second with Jenson usually coming out victor. Truce showed his true colors in the invitational meet at Rexburg, Idaho. He made up his mind to beat Jensen and as he entered the race that was his sole desire. On the second of the eight laps, Truce lost his right shoe. Despite this great handicap, Truce stayed in the race and stuck with Jensen like glue. With half a lap left they sprinted for the tape. Jensen beat Truce by half a step, a great victory for Jensen but a even greater one for Truce. He had run one and three-fourths miles with a barefoot and even then had just barely been beaten. Fastest in Seven Years This sort of thing typifies -1 Thrills At Annual Ba A most successful concert under the direction of Ralph D. Marsden was presented by the instrumental music department Monday evening in the Moench Auditorium. Best Concert "It was certainly one of the best concerts ever presented by Weber College," claimed the music department heads. The concert band opened the program with a spirited march followed by a beautiful rendition of the first movement of Frank Erickson's "Second Symphony for Band." Featured as soloist was David Blackington who played "Concerto in E Minor" byMendelssohn-Men-dez. An interesting variation of ideas came out in the "Street Scene," by Alfred Newman. The rhythmic "Music for a Carnival" ended the band's participation in fine style. Orchestra Plays The orchestra started their concert with "Pomp and Circumstance" by Edward Elgar. ' Sara Gunnell and Gary Layne superbly played J. S. Bach's "Double Concerto in D Minor" accompanied by the orchestra. No less brilliant was the performance of Ralph Degn who played "Second Piano Concerto" by Rachmaninoff. Andrew Galos, violin virtuoso from USU, made a fine rendition of "Concerto in D Major" by Beethoven. His superior musicianship carried through to the audience to bring him back to play the first movement of "Concerto for Unaccompanied Violin" by Bach as an Audience nd Concert encore. The concert was attended over r)0 people. LY, by Truce Truman Truce's spirit and desire to win. Because of this fierce competitive spirit, no one was surprised when he won the two-mile run in the national meet with a time of 9:53, the fastest in seven years. Truce marked himself as a great runner, but it didn't come easily. Truce is married, holding down a job, and going to school. With all this he still would get up and run ten miles before breakfast. He then would work out hard in the afternoon with the track squad. He was such a hard worker that he couldn't help to be a winner. Ran Down Sheep Truce was born Sept. 2;! in Modena, Utah, then a small mining town near Cedar City, which is now a ghost town.
