Goodbye To Weber As another year comes to a close, and as we look back at our old "alma mater," we bid it farewell, not just until next fall, but forever. During the many past years, its halls have been filled with laughter, friendship, and last, but not- least (we hope) intelligent students studying enthusiastically. We Freshmen feel that our has been invaluable. The friendships we have known, the knowledge we have won, and the sportsmanship we have gained, will never be forgotten. Thanks, Sophomores, for a terrific year. We will pledge to you that we will try our best next year to hold up Weber's high standards, and what more could we ask for than a new campus to help us. We will continue to make Weber a place that all of its children will honor forever, no matter where or on what campus our old "W. C." is located. Sigma Men of Sigma are concluding a most successful year at Weber. Things got started in an inebriating fashion last fall at Sigma's first rush. Two months later Sigma held their second rush at Rainbow Gardens. There was ample proof (anywhere from 80 to 100) that this affair was prosperous as almost none left in an abstemious condition. Carl Chadwick was president during autumn quarter. Carl and his staff did a swell job in arranging the social affairs of the quarter. We had a couple of parties with the women. We had a party up at Snow Basin with La Dianeada and one at Rainbow Gardens with the Squaws. Both parties were a lot of fun. We lost a couple of good men during the year. Russ Whitaker went to Colorado because he heard that the liquid sunshine is 2.8 stronger there, and Jerry "Bengal" Goddard thought that he'd try the U. Pete Miller is the present president of Sigma. He succeeded Richard Barnes who held down the presidency winter quarter. Club activities came to a climax May 14 when we had our Flamingo dance at the Hotel Ben Lomond.The sophomores, who will not be with Sigma next fall, sincerely hope the freshmen will keep up the fine standards of the club and continue to excell in the many activities of which we take part. Otyokwa Whew, finals are 'bout over and it's really a terrific feeling to be through with tests, anyway, huh??? This has been such a terrific year that the Squaws hate to say "so long" to all the wonderful kids and the good times we've had together. Every dance, party, game and even our classes, have just been tops. It kinda gives us an empty feeling to leave this year, but the anticipation of a new year and a new campus is very exciting. We held our final banquet the other night at Graycliff. It was one of the nicest activities we've had this year. A swell group of new officers were elected. They are: President, Sally Jeppsen, Vice President, Charlene Wood; Secretary, Tootsie White; Treasurer, Marlene Morgan; Historian, Rosemary Barta. We know you'll do a super job next year, kids, best of luck to all of you. stay here at Weber this year Close Phoenix The past year has been one of considerable success for Phoenix. Both rush parties were very well handled by Dex Farr and his fall quarter officers. Also under Dex's regime the "Snowball" was an accredited success with more couples attending than at any other dance of the year. Incidentally, Marilyn Moyes reigned as "Snowball" queen. Also during fall quarter numerous successful stag andin-tra-club parties were held. With the coming of Christmas, Jim Wheeler was elected president. Under Jim's direction "frivolous' and the acceptance banquet were held. The freshmen, played a terrific game, shooting par one for the first nine holes. With the freshmen as regular members many parties were successfully held with L.D., Otyokwa, Sharmea, and Chanodo. When spring quarter rolled around, Gordon Clawson was elected president. The annual assembly was held last month with Richard Heiser lending the Weber girls a little advice on how to approach their boy friends in "sections". . . . Final last quarter parties were held and the traditional farewell banquet was held last Saturday at the Hotel Ben Lomond. This is the last affair of the year to be at- j tended by both sophomore and freshmen members. Although next year many of the Phoenix men will be dispersed among "Uncle Sam's" forces, missions, and other colleges, Phoenix j will continue to show the same caliber of scholarship, leadership, and fraternal spirit that it has exhibited in the past. Los Viajeros A livelv year of activity was brought to a close last week when Mrs. Marriner Browning showed the Spanish Culture class slides she had taken in Mexico and Guatemala. Mrs. Browning, has also been to Europe, where she took several pictures of Spain and Italy. Mr. Hancock is trying to organize a trip to, Mexico later in the summer and anyone who would like to go should let him know. Loc Viajeros would like to wish everyone a happy summer, full of lots of activities. And if you want to have a real fun time, come and join us in our club next year.

By MARILYN ARNOLD Besides just plain leaving, some of the Sophomore comrades are bequeathing some of their choisest possessions to deserving fresh man. It is now my duty to pubh cize these inheritances. Jim Wheeler leaves his muscle building kit to Darwin Van de Graaf. Carol Hunsaker leaves her water wings to Barbara Roberts. Bruce Stringam leaves his ten nis racket to Kaye McDonald. Carol Parker leaves her milking machine to Elaine Wright. Roland Larkin leaves his shyness to Nancy Sanders. Ann Howell leaves her joke book to Ethal Zaugg. Bill Price leaves his slightly used baseball mitt to some under privileged freshman. Gordon Mortensen leaves. (Hur rah)? Gary Swenson leaves his liquor permit to Gary Hart. Dougie Dieu leaves his candelabra to Wayne Mayberry. Douglas McArthur leaves his low waistline to Max Welker. Weber College leaves the old campus. Parting Shot Knott and Shott fought a duel. The result: Knott was shot and Shott was not. Moral: It was better to be Shott than Knott. Alpha Rho By BILL MURDOCK It is near the end of Spring and the Sophomores of Alpha Rho Omega approach the time when they discontinue their membership in the club. Although it leaves a lonely spot in the heart when departing, the "Old Knights" still have an abundance of warm and sparkling memories. The first two. "Rush" parties were expensive andtime-consuming, but they paid off later by the select group of pledges brought into the club. Much effort and time were put into the "Annual Boxing Tournament", and the result were a sizeable profit to Alpha Rho and some broken noses to other involved."The Best Dressed Girl" contest was held in conjunction with Alpha Rho assembly. It was advertised on radio, television, and in newspapers. The assembly was a parody on a detective theme, and when the two cops finally found the desired "Girl" she was the well dressed Judy Johnston. "An Evening in Paradise" was the theme of the Collegiate Promenade and, to many, that night was a paradise. Nelson Wright not only had Miss Ogden for his date, but he also was announced as the student-body president. Ray Cum-mings found out he was business manager, and Jerry Brown "made off" with the "Mr. Collegiate" title. All the time these big events ! were taking place, there were nu-i merous small parties and activi-j ties in motion. Bob Dunkley threw I Rosemary Barta in the river. Nan-i cy Sanders walks back from hay-ride.I New friends, new loves, experi ences and adventures; these thoughts will linger in the minds of the graduating "Knights" till their souls return to their Maker. So, on departing, the Sophomores of Alpha Rho tip trieir hats to the club that occupies a corner of their hearts. Chanodo Greetings from the Merry Maids! Well kids, this is it! Its been a fun year and a busy one for the Merry Maids as well as the rest of the Weber family. We wish to. extend our sincere congratulations to all the new officers and wish them all the luck in the world. We've been "living it up" with Alpha Rho at two parties recently. One, a canyon party and the second a swimming party. (Ask Mis Identity Anything Goes By SIG PONT I'm not a sentimentalist, so in this last issue I am not going to make any of those torrid goodbyes. However, I don't think I should let you get away without a couple of pieces of fatherly advice. It has long been my contention that the reason that boys and APPLICATION 1.

I think that if this practice were instituted, it would prevent a lot of the, misunderstandings that contribute to the downfall of good social relationships. I think the biggest charge I've had out of contributing these little items to the Fourth Estate is sitting around the campus listening to people discuss my work when they didn't know it was mine. To those who had a kind word, thank you. To those who said something else, all is forgiven. I noticed in the last issue that Nancy Sanders' column was devoted to trying to unravel a singular mystery. I wasn't aware that anyone was interested in finding out. However, to those of you who didn't guess, look at the bottom of this column and "read and weep." Mary Moore about ice cream some time!)

Therefore, I think that when a boy or girl, as the' case may bo, asks someone for a date, they should start out with a knowledge of the circumstances that wni prevail. I suggest sending out an application something like this. FOR A DATE To those of you who did guess, I didn't know I was so obvious. Before I forget, a word of thanks to Lois McDonough, who has served as my unofficial secretary in getting these little epics ready for print. I expect her to go far in Journalism, that is. FAMOUS LAST WORDS Up to now, my closing thought in a column, or the whole column, for that matter, has not been what anyone would call serious. However, I would like to leave you with this thought, which I consider a sound philosophy and which I think more people should adopt: "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Anonymous. Well, goodbye now, and, oh yes, my name is Jud Farmer. La Dianaeda The Cruise of the USSLD has come to dock for the year 1953-1954.The tour has been recorded by all shipmates as an outstanding success. Each stop, whether it was a party, dance, or practice, left a fond memory for many years to come. Last Wednesday evening a lovely farewell banquet was given for the retiring crewmen by the remaining shipmates. Ma's and Pa's was the location of the happy or for some, sad occasion. The crew leaders for next year were selected and a finer group could not be found: Next year's officers are: President, Nancy Frazier; Vice President, Sherril Pierson; Secretary, Shirley Snow and Treasurer, Una Jean West. Congratulations girls! The success of this year's cruise can be attributed to the work and contributions of every member of LaDianeada and all the students and teachers of Weber College. Thanks to you for the fun, friendships, and serious moments shared at dear Old W.C. |
