U j66 AV U r •� r( .r Published by ASSOCIATED STUDENTS of WEBER COLLEGE 1939 jgg? President HENRY ALDOUS DIXON a full name like Doctor Henry Aldous Dixon, it’s obvious President is much more dignified than his grin would suggest. Levertheless, he’s not too dignified to straighten out a confused freshman with a few minutes of down-to-earth advice, or lay an assembly in the aisles with a Welsh joke, or spend a half hour talking basketball with a couple of lettermen. He is the most popular man i t:,|b ool: a gratifying combination of general efficiency, ability. Welsh hyjnor, a wide grin, and he can sway a legislature like nobody's CHARLES H. SKIDMORE The State Board of Education, of which Mr. Skidmore is Chairman, has had much to do with the fortunes of Weber College since it was taken over by the state in 1933. During the six years of Weber's existence as part of Utah’s educational set-up, there has been considerable growth in plant and student body. The Moench Building has been renovated and added to; new campus has been acquired and the old grounds landscaped; a new $150,000 Voca- tional Education plant has provided terminal instruction for non-academic students and trades training opportunities for the community. Many build- ings, much ground, and considerable equipment are yet to be added; student numbers will steadily increase. These things are inevitable. EVANS D.

CLARK MONSON DAVIS TANNER NEVILLE CHILDS EYRE WRIGHT MINER DANIELSON lEFFSOH BOARD OF CONTROL Standing: Brewer • Lindquist - Allen - Baglcy - Jones • Gray Sitting: Osmond ■ Bricm • Childs . Consisting of the student body presidency, the presi- dents of the two classes, and three faculty members, the Board of Control comprises a combined supreme court and congress. On the outcome of their heated bickering hinges the destiny of us commoners, for they make and break our laws. And they do a swell job. Bramwd e'd0r kelson committee AWARD COMMITTEE Standing: Hadlock • Doxey ■ Clark:Sitting: Carlson BurchcllI- Osmond • Merle. The very important task of determining letters, awards, and eligibility falls to an efficient award committee which is guided by the able hands of Mr. Robert Clarke and Rose Burchcll. DANCE COMMITTEE Standing: Goddard • Williams • Lindquist • Maher S«m Jg:Francis-FnulhaberBlaes-Polidor. The Dance Committee's active finger is in the pie of every Weber College dance, and that’s a good many pics. Dean Williams, who certainly gets around, is the chairman of this committee. Details of time, theme, music, and decoration are con- sidered by the group. FOUNDERS’ DAY January sixth. Founders’ Day, featured the Vocational Building dedication, a Gilbert Tolhurst drama, and a Whip Club dance. Senator Ira A. Huggins did the dedicating, Weber students did the dramatising, and everybody did the dancing. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE Standing: Pierson • Allred ’Young Anderson.Sitting: Edwards-Rich- ards-Lindsay-Barrows-Watts. When seven hundred students shove expectantly into an audi- torium, something’s got to happen. It’s up to Whitney Young and his assembly committee to see that something does. He schedules the assemblies of various talent- rank clubs and organizations so that we don't get more soprano than wc can take at one sitting. So far we haven’t. A. M. S. Sweeney-Goddard -Toyn The Men’s Association is an organization of, by. and for the Weber male. Val Goddard, who is best described as a cross between Tyrone Power and Harpo Marx, runs the association with the help of a small unified council. This group can be credited for the Men’s Outing and blamed for the Beard-Growing contest. WOMEN’S COUNCIL Standing: Mi tchel I • Hay den- Fou I ger Squires • Briem • Ensign • Doxey Middle row: Smith • Moore • Reeve Herbert - Bybee • Wilson • Smith Front rou;;Eyre-Lindquist-McComb Madsen Hie women’s council is a group of girls who have the personal welfare of every girl in the school in their mind. Their motto is for a better student body of girls and they’ve done an admirable job. Under capable student and faculty super- vision they have a lot of successful functions behind them this year. PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE Reeves-Rogers-Burton- Lindquist The publications committee keeps tab on the schools literary achievements and strives for uniqueness in this field of endeavor. In this respect it has l ecn efficient and effective as our publications will attest. Much of the credit belongs to this group for the progress that the school has seen in this department. INTER-CLUB COUNCIL Standing: Davis • Fuller • Burchell Gilgcn • Ha venor • Toyn • Barrows Hilton-Caw ley-Petty-Will is. Second row: Rounds • Foulger • Hogge • Ben- son -Briem- Reeve. Front row: God- dard -Williams-Pan tone- Ensign. Strict rules for rushing, pledging, and eligibility of club members are laid down by the Inter-Club Council, which consists of Advisor Bob Davis and three representa- tives from each social club. This group must iron out any problems which might arise concerning the various authorized clubs. A. W. S. Standing: Francis • Cardon • Sitting: Barrows • Petty Poulton. It is the purpose of the Women's Association to sec that every Weber woman gets something besides an education out of the school. Boss Phyllis Cardon is an amazing combination of beauty and brains. Under the supervision of a conglomerate council, she sponsors an enthusiastic round of parties, dances, teas, and lectures on charm. LYCEUM COMMITTEE The Lyceum Committee has done a great work this season in providing for our cultural gratification such world-renowned entertainers, lecturers, and artists as Percy Grainger. Theodore Dreiser, the Welsh Imperial Singers. Ted Shawn's Dancers, and others. Mr. Guy Hurst is chairman of tlx? committee.

Intramural Supervisor EUGENE JOHNSON Intramural Manager INTRAMURALS With an expanded curriculum this year's intra- mural program progressed with singular success. More extensive participation carried inter-club competition to a new peak. � A deciding factor in this success was undoubtedly the competent supervision of Director Ferron Losee. Student Manager Eugene Johnson, and Secretary Darrell Deis. In addition, awards, consisting of a silver loving cup for the best team performance and a gold medal for the best individual performance, spurred on the contestants. � Ten social and scholastic Weber College organizations partici- pated: Excelsior, Phoenix. Krenisti, Lettermen, Engineers. Ghosts. Skulls, Faculty, Sigm3 Delta Pi, and T.I.C. (Trade-Industrial Club;. BOXING: Leaving no doubt as to who held fistic honors of Weber College, the Excelsior Dark Morses decisively conquered all comers to lend their nearest rivals 75 to 10. BASKETBALL: Once again achieving preeminence. Excelsior led the field in the bitterly fought basketball tournament. Close at their heels were bunched T.I.C.. Phoenix, Lcttcrmcn.

WRESTLING: As did Excelsior in boxing, so did tlie Lettermen in wrestling. Final tally revealed a lead of 65 points over the nearest opponent. SOFTBALL: The I cttermen monopolized the Fall Quarter softball honors with their fighting spirit and practiced skill. Their 225 points overshadowed the 160 points of Excelsior, their nearest rival. SWIMMING: After the last ripple subsided, the Skulls emerged as having garnered the majority of points from the ten water events. Thus they splashed their w-ay ahead of Excelsior, scoring 157 points to the second place win- ner's total of 103. SQUASH: A faculty team demonstrated unbelievable physical prowess, commonly unsuspected, and won the puddle squash doubles tournament and finally wound up aheud of Phoenix, who took the singles competition.

First it’s a formal-and-flowers social, gathering; then, after a brief period oin-rl ibilita- tion in bed. it’s a Hong wait in line for the privilege of being badly disappointed by a report card; then, with stout hearts, it's a moment of the happy horse-play that is the nucleus of all college fun.
