In fact, it was almost permanent as John Thorn and Dick Lee motored their Nautilus to the lower depths of the dam. No lives were in danger because "Hoot" Sneddon was lifeguarding the party from his cozy perch on "summer home No. (." As the year closes, Excels wants to thank everyone for their friendships and good times. It has been a full year at old Weber C. Mammoth bouquets of fresh roses to the Excels men who have served their school this year. First to be mentioned are Jim Watts and Al Christensen who have been top-notch studentbody officers. Mike "Scrooge" Burdett will take over the financial worries for Jim next year. In the sophomore class category, Dean Black and Brent Moon have been outstanding. An E Man who will fill top vacancy is Lee Smith. Excels copped the homecoming float honors, bike derby, and have landed a few "king" honors. Yal Weathers was Mr. Collegiate, Jim Watts was Preferred Man. and Barry Ellis was OT's Sweetheart. AMS Officers Dick Clark and Boyd White-sides have done a bang up job with AMS this year, but we did miss the mountain warming ceremonies at the first of the year. Other E Men who will be active in AMS next year are Russ Ha-gen and Max Lewis. Bob Roylance has been outstanding scholastically and has been accepted for dental school at Northwestern University. We have an All-American with us, LeRoy Overstreet; last week Russ Hagen placed sixth in the nation throwing the javelin back in Hutchinson. Athletically we sported four members of the National basketball team: Val Weathers, Gene Kunz, Loren Burton, and Ed Chatlin. Down to the Wire Intramurals are running right down to the wire, but we are confident to grab the top honor for our sixth straight year. When school starts next fall, we from our '."'.) group. Contrasting this, we downed Sigma for the third consecutive year to retire the chuggingtrophy- It is evident that there is "every kind of a guy" jn Excels, a factor that holds us together. We will be ready for school service at any time and will gladly give any club on campus some good stiff competition. Congrats, Sisters Congrats to our sisters, you got top officers. We are looking forward to an active summer. Ahoy Swabbies, Mrs. Waldron and her group are fab leaders; this was verified at the Excels-LD canyon party.

Last week at Harmon's our new officers were announced. They were: Lois Stoddard, president; Cheryl Perry, vice-president; Pat Bright, secretary; Jerilyn Dab-ling, treasurer; Judy Dean, historian, and Karen Olsen, reporter. The freshmen really showered the sophomores with gifts (friendship rings representing Sharmea), which means "Dear Friend". The freshmen officers have made everything they did a success'. A few tears were even shed for Barbara Henry. She has been an outstanding leader and we will never be able to repay her for her help. Our scholar, Gaye Dayton, attended a nurses convention in Pennsylvania. Gaye is president of Utah Student Nurses. Each one of us will go our sep arate ways, but we'll be back to- will have had IT missionaries' leave ' gether soon as alumni. Handicraft I To ransan P mporiaot eople a loaay By Parviz Iranfar Since the Iranian students of Weber College arranged a display from the hand works of Iran, so many students' have asked different questions about them. Here I am going to answer some of these questions very briefly. We all know that Persia has a very old culture and art. Any foreigner coming to this country can easily see a lot of monuments and antiques. In south of Iran, there has been a town, called "Perspolis". There are few monuments in this town from thousands of years ago which are extraordinary. The architecture, time and work that has been put in these is amazing. Large Monuments Everybody seeing these monuments has appreciated the people of those days, who made these gigantic buildings thousand of years ago. Our art and handicraft has always been well known in the world as well as our architecture. Persian carpets, fretwork, inlaid work and miniatures are very very interesting and should be considered. All these miniatures and fretworks in this display are not made by machine, but by artists who have spent a long time to put small pieces of ivory and bones together in a way, when you look and touch, they are as smooth as one piece. Beautiful Carpets Persian carpets are well known in the world. In south, they make beautiful carpets which are sold some times for thousands of dollars.So, today in this day when everything is mechanized, there are still some people in this country, spending time and work to keep the culture and art of their ancestors alive. Shah of Iran helps the people in their idea as well as trying to keep the monuments. field, vice-president; La Preal Baldwin, secretary. Boys' Chapter, Paul Child, president; Glenn Wel-ker, vice-president; Ross Pierce, treasurer. Friday, May 22, saw 84 Institute students and LDS members head for Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, for a day of swimming and picnicing. The final party of this year was Thursday, a canyon party under the direction of the new officers. Happy vacation to everyone and see you next year. O T Announces New Officers Another year is coming to an end, another year full of fun and memories. I'm sure when we look back we'll remember all of this year's accomplishments. We would like to congratulate all the clubs this year on their outstanding participation in school activities. As the year is coming to a close many changes have been taking place.

They are: President, Norene Howes; Vice-President, Julia Stettler; Sec retary, LaRene Jensen; Treasurer, Barbara Crosbie; Historian, Dona Osmond, and Reporter, Shannon Heyns.

We look forward to a pleasant year of association with them. Otyokwa girls receiving additional awards' are: Gaye Deamer, Outstanding Sophomore of 1!)"!), and Shannon Reyns, Outstanding Freshman. LaRene Jensen received the A. T. Scholarship and Judy Conrady is her alternate. Tuesday morning the freshman girls gave a breakfast at the Mansion House in honor of the sophomores. The breakfast was a big success. Saturday Sigma has invited OT to be their guests at a home coming party for Jay Ewart. WTe are all sure to have a good time. Best wishes to the Sophomores who are leaving. WTe know you will have a great time next year at school, at work, or in matrimonial bliss. Think of us some time the graduation program.

Jim Jackson and Niles Herrod were chosen as Mr. Old Odori and Friendliest Boy on campus. Adios So until next year, Phoenix will lie dormant, as far as the club column is concerned. We'll be covering the ground pretty thoroughly this slimmer preparing for next year. See you there (on the ground).

Phoenix Honors Club Members Fun! That was Phoenix's password for the year. To top off the gala year, the P men presented their spastic assembly last Friday amid cheers and hisses of an enthusiastic crowd. The men are well pleased with the production except Paul Hal-verson. He is afraid that someone will find out who the hick singing the "Battle of New Orleans" was. Bob Wood still looks shocked. Nothing like a good bust. Piff Success PIFF (Phoenix Invitation Font-hill Frolic) drew the Phoenix Memorial Park. After a few rousing games of volleyball and soft-ball, the crew went "grunion hunting." Niles Herrod found one. Incidentally, Phoenix is very proud of their sister club. Thanks for the help this year girls. We all love you. Perhaps now would be a fine time to review the past year to glory the grand old club. We took second place in the Talent Show. At least that's an accomplishment. In the studentbody elections, Lynn Taylor was elected business manager and John Hale was elected representative to the Board of Control for the Sophomore Class. He replaces the great Niles Herrod in this capacity. Speaking of Mr. Herrod, he was selected to attend Northwestern school of dentistry. Wonder how he'll get along without mother. Top Scholar Dirk Raat was Phoenix's top scholar and was selected to be on were very colorful as they were based around a Hawaiian theme.

As the year draws to an end, we wish everyone a very pleasant summer vacation even though they are working hard to get ready for another year.
