The ACORN IOLA LANGFORD — Editor JOE DONAHUE — Associate Editor CARL WALLIS — Business Manager Published by Associated Students of Weber College, 1937 FOREWORD History gives us conclusive proof that changes are made permanent only by a great number of repetitions. Traditions are formed by generations of acceptance, and likewise it requires generations to break down these same tradi I ions and form better ones. What changes we have made in this book were made with the sincere hope that they are for the better. DEDICATION The 1936 ACORN was dedicated to the Future of Weber and because the objective has proved so worthy during the current year, we rededicate to that theme and specifically to the part our President is contributing. The active policies of President Creer, backed by the Faculty and Student Body, are preparing a junior college able to uphold any tradition. May this book reflect his ideals of progress. IN MEMORIAM MISS EDITH BERRETT The glories of our birth ond state Are shadows, not substantial things: There is no armor against fate . . . . ' —James Shirley amt MR. CHARLES H. SKIDMORE Superintendent of Public Instruction 4 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Utah State Board of Education Charles H. Skidmore George A. Eaton John A. Swenson James A. Langton Mary W. Johnson Albert J. Ashman David W. Henderson George L. Rees William O. Bentley. Jr. Selma L. Fahring Henry W. Taylor A TO THE CLASS OF 1937: MAY I commend the Class of 1937 for their evident achievements at Weber College during the past year in all lines of activity—scholastic, civic, extra- curricular. and social. I have appreciated your loyalty to the Faculty and to the Administration, your enthusiasm and interest in activities sponsored by the Student Body, and your sincerity of purpose as noted in your excellent application in the class room. My advice to you is to continue your educational program until you feel assured that you are adequately prepared to discharge efficiently the complex re- sponsibilities of citizenship. In your quest for happiness may I suggest five basic needs. (I) A Vocation. Economic self-sufficiency is not only desirable but quite necessary in this complex and highly industrialized modern age. Idleness breeds discontent and promotes revolution and radicalism. Stability and contentment, on the other hand, dependent, however, upon economic self-sufficiency, are essential factors for progress. (2) A Hobby. Second only in importance to vocational efficiency is the proper use of leisure time. Hobbies, if directed along the lines of clean, wholesome, recrea- tive. and creative educational values are essential to a balanced program of happiness. (3) A Friend. The ideals of charity, toleration, and altruism—the recognition of the worth of human values, in short. Ihe cultivation of friendship—these are proper objectives for a well meaning and successful life. •t) A Cause to Defend. An appreciation of the worth of American ideals and insti tutions—a recognition of the superior value of democracy as an agency in the development of the individual as a determinant factcr in society, a vigorous desire to preserve rather than destroy those proved institutions that have effected progress—in short, the acquisition of a worthwhile cause to defend is a motivating stimulus for happiness and success. (5) A Church. The acquisition of a sense of security in life through the recognition in this universe of ours of the certainty of a Divine Creator and of the distinct limitation of man and his need for divine guidance—in other words, the deve'op- ment of our spiritual selves—this is necessary if happiness is to be acquired.

Bob Ciark Phyllis 8rown Jack West Secretory Vice President Troosurcr The students of Weber College have had cause to be proud of their student body officers this year. Les. Phyllis. Jack, and Bob—they have all contributed their efforts tirelessly. It has been their aim to make Weber College outstanding in every way— socially, athletically, and scholastically. The constitution, which was framed last year, was this year put into operation. It provides for a board of control, of which these leaders form a major part, which has been continually active in administering the affairs of the school. In their special functions these able students have piloted us through a valuable year. Weber has progressed under their leadership. BOARD OF CONTROL Top row: Evans. Osmond. Jones. Buss.

CLASSES Larry Evans June Andrew Lowell Miner President Vico President Socretery SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomores, who at graduation disband to go their many separate ways—to universities and to positions—will be condoled in their parting by the knowledge that theirs was a class of achievement and of honor. Efficiently motivated by articulate Larry Evans, charming June Andrew, and friendly Lowell Miner, the accomplishments associated with the year over which they reigned are many. The Sophomore Outing. Winter Carnival, and Sophomore Hop are outstanding among the events successfully sponsored by the class.

Lady Luck smiled sweetly when Max Carruth. Evelyn Beuhler. and Josephine Stone were elevated to the positions of leadership. Headed by this handsome group, the Freshmen Class scon distinguished itself by its participation in various activities. The infants of the institution proved to be mature in their siege on student honors. With the galaxy cf leaders and 'ettermen who return to the process of enlightenment, 1938 gives promise of being a notable year at Weber. Rowland E.

In their advisitory positions. Mr. Nilsson and Mr. Trevi- thick were directly responsible for the success of the three publications. The public received with enthusiasm this year's dramatic productions. Mr. All- red has ably directed the three-act play entitled The Perfect Alibi, and a one-act play, The Hundredth Trick. He and his students joined with the Community Drama League, during the spring quarter, for the production of Milady's Dress. The acclaim with which Romany Road was received is a tribute to Mr. Parry's direction. The fact that the production was original made it so much the better. Scenery and stage properties, always a most important accessory to any pro- duction, were capably handled by Mr. Walter Buss and student assistants.

Although the murder was disclosed in the first act, the story held the attention of the audience till the final scene. The cast of eleven so skillfully enacted their various parts that tense interest was sustained. The fascinating plot was again reversed when Jimmy Ludgrove and Susan Cun- ningham demonstrated their ability and disclosed the murderers. Although the crime was cleverly executed. Laverick and Carter, who vengefully murdered Arthur Lud- grove. found themselves inextricably enmeshed in their own fiendish plot. The blunder- ing country constable furnished a touch of humor. Under the direction of Mr. Allred, the cast rendered a fine performance. Shall we tell him? L.-R. Edward Carter. Edward Laverick, Susan Cunningham, Jane West. Jimmy Ludgrove.

O'Cahane. commonly known as Conn of the Hundredth Tricks, is a prisoner threat- ened with torture by the English in their endeavor to gain entrance into Ballynore, the one undefeated fortress. Their one chance appears in the capture of Conn's young brother, Art. This opportunity leaves when the Irish leader, in desperation, poisons his brother. The play was directed by Fred Nickson student director, who also ployed the leading role. ACT I Scon© I. Anne's Boudoir L.-R. Leonie. Anne. John. MILADY'S DRESS by Edward Knoblock One of the most successful and polished productions of the year was the ploy Milady's Dress by Edword Knoblock. Weber College Drama Deportment joined with the Little Theater Guild and the Drama Club to produce this play. Character place- ments were made from the three organizations. The piay provided glimpses into the lives of those who contributed to the crea- tion of a beautiful gown. Delicately interwoven within the plot were the threads of romance, hatred, intrigue, jealousy, and murder. Scenes took the audience from Scene II. A Peasant's hut, Italy. L. R. Gioann. Pao. Nina.

Gypsy songs from II Trova- tore and The Fortune Teller, words set to the music of Brahm's Hungarian Dances 5. 6, 7. and 8 were inter-woven in with compositions by Mr. Parry. The basic tale of gypsy love was written by Fred Nickson and Wayne Bundy. The picturesque costumes were designed and made by the members of the cast. This excellent performance delighted over ten thousand people who attended the twelve performances during the season. The Music Department of Weber College has done very well this year. Its greatest accomplishments was its departure from published compositions to one of brilliant originality and finesse. Supplementing the depariment. as a whole, several musical combinations have been very active. Besides the numerous students who have done sclo worlt. were those who made up the Girls Trio. Mixed Quartet. Girls' Duet and the Musettes. Major groups were the Mixed Chorus. Pep Band and Orchestra. The latter was directed by Clair Anderson. ORCHESTRA PUBLICATIONS ACORN During the five mon.hs required to assemb'c, engrave, and print the maticr in this bock, it has been the constant aim of the staff to issue to the students of Weber a volume unique in its at- tractiveness. It is our sincere hope that ycu may consider cur goal accomplished. lola Longford Editor-mChict Ensign Wallace Staff Lois Ensign .

The actual success, of course, depended upon those participating as well os upon these directing. Aciivities were chiefly of three types: debate, extempore, and oratory. The first two public speaking activities were pursued in the McMinnville Debate, the Phi Rho Pi National Debate, and all three in the Utah-ldaho Debate. In the Weber College Utah High School Debate, the program was made to benefit tho secondary schools of 'he state. In numerous intraschool debates, in two oratorical contests, in the Novitiate Extempore, in the James L. Barker Extempore, and in the J. S. Lewis Company Impromptu, the students increased their linguistic proficiency within the school. Mr. Monson directed debate, Mr. Nilsson extempore, and Mr. Trevithick ora- tory. Miss Read assisled with the high school tournament. i Lorry Evons Frank McQuov n Robert Polidor DEBATING Debaters, this year, met with a good deal of success, due largely to the interest shown by students.

LYCEUM Guy Hurst Roland Parry Cluster Nilsson Lydia Tanner Thatcher Allred LYCEUM COMMITTEE One evidence of the steady expansion and improvement of Weber College that has been talcing place this year is the excellent Lyceum program brought here by the arrangements of the Lyceum Committee, with Mr. Guy H. Hurst as chairman. Six musical numbers, four lectures, and a dance program of outstanding merit aroused interest among the people of the community and the college students. A Leone Grandy Marie Holland Ruth Goddard Secretary Prosidant Vice President ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS The A. W. S. officers, with the cooperation of its members, successfully planned and completed a constructive activity program during the year. During the Fall and Winter Quarters the organization wos fairly active. It spon- sored a Girls' Dance each quarter. This is one of its first and foremost duties to the girls of Weber College, and it has succeeded in placing those dances in the top ranks of Weber’s social life. Spring Quarter was the occasion for several important events, among which were Print Dress Week and the Mother's Tea. Activities were terminated on Coed Day, which was a day of various athletic activities and finally, in the evening, a ban- quet for the women students, followed by the last Girls' Dance. WOMEN’S COUNCIL i. MW ATHLETIC COUNCIL The function of the Athletic Council is the successful promotion of ell athletic contests and supervision of a balanced athletic program. To the Athletic Committee goes the credit for the up-turn in attendance and the increased interest in Weber College sports events. Adequate publicity and efficient conduction of events were devices used to advantage in conducting outstanding sports contests, which included the Compton football game, the Snow and Ricks basketball games.

For a number of years Weber was impregnable on the gridiron and Wildcat boosters were numerous and positive. But in the past few years Weber had to take its turn among the mediocre. Those who were loudest in their praise were the first to turn their backs and remark that changes should be made. The climb back to the top under such a load is always the hardest and longest. The Wildcats have not only accomplished this but also have proved definitely that theirs is fine stock. Weber contented itself with the Utah title this year. The intermountain title went to Albion. Idaho champions, in the final play-off. Against outside competition the Wildcats were not fortunate, losing both con- tests played. Season's totals give Weber 134 points against 101 for opponents. The Wildcats won four games and lost three. Total Results B. A. C.—8 Dixie—13 U. S. A. C.

C. vs. WEBER Without the conventionality of a pre-season game. Weber invaded Cedar City and gained a surprising 45 to 8 victory over the Branch Aggies of B. A. C. Considering that this was the initial game of the season and that the Wildcat lineup contained many new faces, it was agreed that the Weber team played well. DIXIE vs. WEBER The Wildcats spoiled Dixie's debut into Junior College football when they scored a 26 to 13 victory over the Fliers of St. George. Dixie, by a forward pass, assumed an early advantage and led 7 to 6 at half time. How- ever. Weber confirmed its predicted super- iority during the third quarter and then coasted to victory. fmx zm U. S. A. C. FROSH vs. WEBER The Aggie Greenlings tool: advantage of the breaks to administer a 15 to 7 defeat to the Wildcats. Fumbling as they attempted to punt out of dangerous territory, the Wild- cats were trapped behind their own goal line and the Frosh tallied a safety. Weber's de- fense cracked twice, permitting enemy scores, but the Wildcats fought sensationally to elim- inate the possibility of a scoreless afternoon. WESTMINSTER vs. WEBER The game with Westminster decided the Utah State Championship. Played in a drizzl- ing rain, the contest was the best of the sea- son for the Wildcats. They played smart foot- ball and won 13 to 0. The Parsons reputed offense never flashed because it failed to reach scoring terri.ory. Two lightning-quick strikes in the final half brought victory to the Wildcats. Clark Burton Rose Littlefield Healey Page Carruth Parrish Greatly out-weighed but never out-fought, the Wildcats bowed to the Compton (Cali- fornia) Junior College Tartars 26 to 0 in an intersecfional contest at Ogden. After battl- ing on even terms for three quarters. Weber withered undor the barrage attack of the op- ponents’ heavier team and disrupted what had been a closely fought game. On three occasions Weber had penetrated within Compton's five goal line, but each thrust was terminated by a stalwart Tartar defense. Compton caught Weber at the season's weakest because of injuries sustained in prac- tice. RICKS vs. WEBER The smarting defeat by Compton prompted Weber to pound Ricks College unmercifully in an Armistice Day battle at Idaho Falls. Weber scored its first touchdown before the game v os two minutes old and climaxed Clements Miller WEBER vs. COMPTON Motion picture film reveals completion of two runs. the game spectacularly with a touchdown drive that net- ted 90 yards in 10 plays. The final score was Weber 31. Ricks 13. ALBION vs. WEBER The championship game encountered various obstacles which threatened its materialization. Newspapers even reported that Weber had won the championship via the forfeiture route. Finally the teams got together at Albion. Albion immedi- ately proceeded to annex the title. Weber out- classed the champions in all departments of the play, recording 14 first downs against Albion's 4. yet the 26 to 13 score indicated Albion's superior- ity. SQUAD Top row: G. Brown. W.

BASKETBALL By winning the Utah Junior College basketball title, the 1937 edition of Wildcat courtiers established themselves as one of the most outstanding cage teams to wear the Purple and White. Starting nearly from scratch (but one regular returned from last season) Coach Swenson built a team chiefly of freshmen. This team progressed beyond all expectations and while the season was yet young, it was acclaimed the best in school history. The record speaks better than words: WEBER WfUOCATS BASKET BALL SO ' !

Participation in five gomes resulted in that number of victories. Out- standing was the impressive victory over the Colored Ghosts, professional team, who had never before been defeated in Ogden. Three victories over Ricks, who wore to become conference cham- pions. are also listed as pre season records. A series with Westminster in Salt Lake City opened the regular playing season. The first game resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Wild- cats. but a whirlwind finish the second evening was all that diverted defeat. In the return series, at Weber, the Wildcats had things much their own way. winning as they chose. Dixie fell before this machine. The Wildcats wo re not hard-pressed in either contest of this series. The only defeat in the conference competition came in the second game of the Snow series at Ephraim after the Wildcats had won the first by a comfortable margin. Remuneration for the Badger defeat was taken at the expense of B. A. C.. as Weber went on a spree and more than doubled the score on both nights. ' I I I I The crucial scries of the season placed Weber against Snow. As usuoi Weber came out with fly- ing cclors. In winning these decisive games. Weber practically cinched the State title and the remain- ing games were just matters of formality. Oespite the fact that Weber was in , the four final contests played in Southern Utah provided the most thrills of the season. Shooting baskets in rapid succession. Weber collected 28 points in a final quarter to overtake a huge Dixie leod. Like- wise. in a B. A. C. game, the Wildcats converted apparent defeat to read victory. All four games were closely contested. Earl Kennedy Clark Coach Stoker Jacobsen Finally, in the Utah-ldaho championship series. Weber, who from all appearances had the superior quint, played its best but Ricks was not to be denied. After each team hod won a game, Ricks' impregnable Vikings, seemingly supplemented by supernatural powers, rendered Weber’s efforts fu- tile. and took the decisive encounter. Weber fought a gallant but losing battle and again a conference titie slipped through its fingers. 1. Now,” soys Ston. We did it this way. 2. This is the shot Holmon used. 3. Reed Ko-nute Swenson. 4.

TRACK Track, the only athletic event in which Weber had consistently won conference titles within recent years, is slighted by the yearbook because it has only begun activity when the publication goes to press. Very little can be predicted regarding 1937 possibilities. Manful gets a rubdown as Carrigan, Toylcr, and Barlow look on. Last season the Wildcats, for the third consecu- tive year, won the conference championship. Al- though few blue ribbons were captured. Weber's ability to earn points in the majority of events was the basis for awarding the Wildcats the token of achievement. Costley. Captain Fox. Discus Earl, High Jump Savage. Distance R. Clark Allen Emley Newman B. Clark Williams Moss Shurtleff Shurtleff SWIMMING Weber College swimmers held several meets with other schools during the 1937 season. The team had a good deal of fun and practice, though they won but one of the meets. January 15. the team traveled to Salt Lake City and were trounced by West High. 56 to 18. Five days later Granite High competed at Weber and ran up a 49 to 21 score. In a return meet wiih West High at Weber. February 5. the team was given the worst beating of the year. 58 to 8. Another trip to Salt Lake brought about another defeat, this time by Granite with a score of 47 to 19. The victory recorded by the swimming team was over Logan High in the Weber pool. A close 35 to 31 contest was held. On the 26th of February. Logan reversed the count, tripping the team 47 to 19 at Logon. In the final match of the season, Weber was defeated by the East High team. 51 to 15 MINOR SPORTS Fox Ellis Newman Jones Brown Carrigan Dalebout Wilson Locktrog WRESTLING The Junior College Wrestling championship was captured by Weber after defeating Westminster in two of three matches. Weber won the first contest, which was held at Westminster, by the score of 28 to 13, losing only two falls and one decision. But the next match at Weber was lost by the close score of 30 to 34. In this match the team won six bouts by falls bu4 lost five by falls and three by decisions. The decisive contest was held at Westminster. Of eight bouts. Weber won three by falls and two by decisions, making the final score 21 to 15. During the wrestling season. Weber participated in bouts with Utah State Agri- cultural College, University of Utah, and Brigham Young University.

From this large group, a team of three was chosen to repre- sent the college in matches with Brigham Young University, Utah State Agricultural College and at the Junior College Conference meet. May I. A team of ten was chosen to compete with Westminster in a home-and-home series. Early games indi- cated that a successful season was very probable. amm---job Alsup Wallis Burdett Anderson Donahue GOLF Golf made its debut this year into the Weber sports as tentative matches were scheduled with the University of Utah and the Utah State Agricultural College. Nego- tiations for matches with Brigham Young University and various Junior Colleges within the state were also made. Practices were held at the El Monte Municipal Golf Course under the direction of Coach Carl Belliston and frequently supplemented by professional Ernie Schneiter of the El Monte Course. Golf was a Spring Quarter activity, in which a small but select group partici- pated. Although the early season witnessed some erratic playing and high score, players soon settled down and near par cards were the rule. JL Savage Venable Ritchie Longstroth Jacobsen FENCING Ar the time of publication the fencers of the college had participated in only one match. This contest took place on April 9. at Salt Lake City. The University of Utah furnished the opposition. Although, in analyzing the match. Weber fencers accumulated more points, the final score was a tie. 3 to 3. Against Utah and among themselves the fencers have displayed marked ability. A successful season was expected by C. Savage, student instructor. BOXING Although a number of boxers of ability attended Weber, this activity did not flourish. The Inter-Mountain Golden Gloves tournament was held in Ogden and Trumcn Carver. Weber student, was the victor in the 13S lbs. division. He was the only student participating. On other occasions, students tcok port in smoke- less smokers throughout the city. Truman Carver INTRAMURALS Donahue Clark Foulger 8elliston INTRAMURAL COMMITTEE The Intramural Committee has offered to the students of Weber College an effective relief from their academic work. The program is in its third year and is still faced with the problem of breaking in something new. From last yeor's program, the Committee has taken successful activities and experimented with others, offering to the student body and faculty a well-rounded diversion. GOLF Jack Wright retained his status as leading golfer of Weber with a one-up victory over Carl Wallis in the Individual Golf Tournament. Playing a smooth brand of golf. Jack Wright proved to be the better golfer. With the exception of his last match, he easily defeated his opponents. PING PONG The Individual Ping-Pong Tournament was easily captured by Frank Tolhurst. Tolhurst showed great ability and was not pressed at any time during the tournament. In the final match, he defeated John Miller in two straight games. The scores were 21- 12 and 21-14. BASKETBALL By more than doubling the scores of their various opponents, the Foresters took pos- session of the team intramural basketball pennant. Competition was in round robin form. Members of the victorious team were: C. Morris. F. Morris. B. Bingham. B. Johnson. J. Lausirica, H. Baker. R. Wright. Later, a number of these players became members of the Weber varsity basketball squad. The Engineers demonstrated their ability with the paddles by winning the team Intra- mural Ping-Pong Tournament. Although pressed by the other teams, the Engineers drove on to win with a 3-1 victory over Publications in the final match. Team members were: D. Lochtrog. B. Venable. J. Barton, and H. Coray. FRESHMEN VS. SOPHOMORES In order to settle traditional conflict be- tween the Freshmen and Sophomore classes the annual water fight was held in South Fork early in the fall quarter. By twice pulling the Freshmen through the waters of the Og- den River, the Sophomore class of 1937 merged victorious. But not to be discouraged, the younger students demanded and received a return conflict with the victors. This contest was in the form of a sand-bag rush, and was held between the halves of the football game with U. S. A. C. Frosh. An overwhelming defeat was administered to the Sophomores, who were able to capture only one out of twelve sand-bags. ■■■ I FOOTBALL The final inter-class battle was on the Og- den High gridiron. For an hour the two foot- ball teams fought: the ball was carried back and forth the length of the field, but neither team was able to register a goal. The contest ended in a 0-0 tie for the second successive year. The physical display of powers which pitted the Freshmen against the Sophomores ended in a draw, each class winning one and tying the third. The activities were enjoyed by those who participated. y r '37 Elaine Anderson Reporter Phyllis Mayer Secretary Barbara Foulger Intra-mural Director Lois Ensign Prosidont Valine Checketts Vice Preiident WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year's Women's Athletic Association leaves behind it a successful year, hav- ing added many accomplishments to its records. Social gatherings and intramural tournaments were the principal undertakings of the Association. This year's tournaments were conducted differently. At the head of each sport was a manager and her assistant. The sports man- agers and assistants sponsored tournaments in their sports, creating much interest and enthusiasm in women's athletics. Throughout the year each manager was responsible for the advancement of her sport. VOLLEY BALL The first tournament of the year was volley ball. This was conducted in the round robin fashion and all the teams were vory well rep- resented. La Dianaeda came through victors. CHECKERS For those girls especially interested in so- cial sports, checkers offered an interesting at- traction. There were so many girls entering the tournament that it took several days to complete it. Iota Tou Kapa was victorious, out-playing La Dianaeda in the final round. The girls on the winning team were Lucile Butler Mary James, and Emily Gentry. ARCHERY During the autumn quarter archery proved a popular sport. Many girls were enrolled in the archery class, and these girls met those from Weber High School for friendly tourna- ments. The tournaments taught the girls the rules of archery competition and improved their marksmanship. Sock Row: Langford. captain; Clark. coacH; McKay, co- captain; Langford. Wallaco. Trousdale.

The girls entered the winter sports enthusi- astically and had a large representation at the Winter Carnival. TENNIS Very little tennis was practiced during fall quarter, but with the coming of spring the girls donned shorts and frequented the tennis courts. There were several combats staged all through the quarter, but the official tour- nament did not take place until late. FENCING Fencing was a new sport in the girls curric- ulum this year, but met with much popularity. The girls achieved considerable skill and fi- nesse in spite of their limited experience and are eager for further work in fencing. SWIMMING The girls at Weber have always been out- standing in swimming and this year lived up to their reputation. The swimming meet, con- ducted during the winter quarter, offered keen competition. -Ml GOLF Golf reached the peak of its popularity during the spring quarter with many girls be- coming ardent boosters of the sport. The fundamentals of golf were taught in the gym, and then the girls put their knowledge into practice at the El Monte golf course. HOPSCOTCH With the first warm days of spring the coeds of Weber were seen hopping about on the sidewalks. The hopscotch tournament was responsible. PING-PONG Table tennis was probably the best liked of all the social sports. This was clearly shown by the number of entrants in the tournament. The outcome of the tournament was not known at the time the book went to press, but looked as though it would end in a tie. HORSEBACK RIDING This year, for the first time in history of the college, Weber had a riding club. Every girl interested was urged to join. The girls visited the Wasatch Riding Academy for in- structions. -JIW Coronation of the Queen of tho Acorn June Andrew. Queen Phyllis Mayer Lois Ensign Phyllis Brown Barboro Foulger ACORN BALL The Acorn Ball has. for years, been the most outstanding dance of the year. The staff, in past years, went to a good deal of expense in sponsoring the ball. It was revived last year, and this dance made a close approach to the old precedent. The simplicity of the decorations emphasized the dignity of the occasion. The coronation ceremony was one of beautiful pageantry—ten girls, members of Aglaia. waltzed the mood of the audience into one of appreciative acceptance. When the Queen was announced everything was in perfect harmony. She was preceded by a trumpeter and two little flower girls. Her attendants. Miss Phyllis Brown. Miss Lois Ensign. Miss Barbara Foulger. and Miss Phyllis Mayer carried the crown to the throne; here Lester Richardson. Student Body President, crowned Miss June Andrew Queen of the Acorn. Other dances, not mentioned in this section, were sponsored by various organi- zations. Private dances and those conducted after the book went to press have not been recorded. In enumerating a few of the public dances, we list the Sophomore Hop. Weber College Prom, Commencement Dance and the Distribution Dance. STARLIGHT CRUISE Drifting away on a Formal Starlight Cruise'1 the girls of Weber College invited their partners to enjoy with the Winter Quarter Girls Dance. Stars dropping from the ceiling and waves rippling around the hall called for the large S. S. Coed cruise boat, full mosted in the center of the floor. FALL QUARTER GIRLS1 DANCE Dignified as the Puritan, the girls of Weber College gave the Thanksgiving Dance. Fashioned in a Thanksgiving atmosphere, the orchestra played from a pumpkin and stately Puritan figures were centered in each window. CONEY ISLAND CARNIVAL Soda pop. fudges, fortune tellers, noisemakers. and confetti! No more could have been expected at a stag Coney Island Carnival. With the orchestra stand a merry-go-round and booth-keepers calling forth their wares, the students enjoyed one cf the most unusual dances of the year. The dance was sponsored by Whip Club. HAYSEED HOP King of the Hayseed Darwin Pretzel Costley HAYSEED HOP With frivolity and nonchalance, the Hayseed Hop gathered costumed figures who chose to dance in the atmosphere of the barn. Bales cf straw and bearded males, all added to an evening of wild hilarity. Crowing hens and kicking mules did the hoe-down right and left. King of the Hayseed was Darwin Pretzel Costley. He wes followed in a long procession and crowned with the oldest of old straw hats. V Sweetheart of Excelsior and her Maids Evelyn Taylor Verlaine Hinley Bernice Criddle Sweetheart VALENTINE DANCE THIS dance was sponsored by Excelsior Club, who presented, as an annual affair, their Sweetheart. She was Miss Verlaine Hinley: her maids of honor were Miss Evelyn Taylor and Miss Bernice Criddle. The Sweetheart's throne was designed in symbol, and the hall was decorated correspondingly with silhouettes. ■■9 1 _L SNOWBALL The announcement of the Sponsors, Miss Barbara Foulger, Miss Barbara Bingham, and Miss Ellen Miner, completed this delightful dance and brought to a peak the social season of the Fall Quarter. The Ball was held December 18. Snowballs fell from the ceiling, and large white candles in the center of a wreath hung in the window. Decorated pine frees created a platform for the Sponsors.
