A sidewalk cafe was the scene of our fun. Under gay crepe paper canopies dinner was served by pretty mamselles in white caps and aprons. A homey touch was created by the music of our own Sky- liricrs. Here is one of the reasons this year's dinner dance was a success. With Bruce Wal- lace as M.C. how could it miss? Boyd Crawford and Mar- lene Farr. Relaxing between dances or waiting to be served? Left to right. Bill Critchlow Don Soelberg, Mrs. Don.” and Peggy Wood. The idea for an annual dinner dance was Bill's brainchild. Last year was the first of these affairs sponsored by the As- sociated Students in con- junction with the Freshman and Sophomore classes. 27 Ah ha! what’s this Jack is saying to Pat? . . . “The call of the night-in-gale seems to be telling us something! It’s saying, ‘it’s spring, the buds are opening, the birds are singing!’ It’s saying, ‘love, love’ ...” 28 These pleasant peasants, Ruder (Rulon Garfield) and Gretchcn, (I.a Van Hon- inger) arc ama ed when I.utz announces, “1 hold the Prince in the hollow of my hand - - - ”, f A )ew Priwce Prince Carl Franz went to Hiedleberg as a student. There he found love and happiness and Kathy. Before his two year’s leave was completed, however, his grandfather, the King, became very ill and the young prince was forced to return to the life of the court which he hated. Never a- gain did he drink with the students; never again did he see his beloved Kathy. “The Student Prince , in which the immortal music of Sigmund Romberg is heard, brought to Weber College five nights of rare entertainment. This charming light opera in four acts had the combination of brillant direction and a talented cast. These two have consistently produced outstanding operas. This year’s Stu- dent Prince” was no exception. Mr. Parry and Mr. Green have done it again! Student life at Heidelberg! As these weary rev- elers pause for a rest. Lucas (Dan Rhodes) informs Kalhic (Pat Payne); We ran into a country wedding and we all kissed the bride.

Freshman, and Guards Students of Chorus In the famous waltz scene from “Student Prince”, Captain Farnitz (Drew Van Wagoner) says to Princess Margaret (Chyrrell Olsen), “You are very cruel, Princess.” Lutz (Don Soelberg) tries to get a little advance information about the business of the Duchess Anatasia (Kathleen Belnap) and begins the chatter with, “What’s the matter? Has Karlsburg gone republican? The unforgettable Lutz, masterfully played by Don Soelberg. finds self expression in rather wierd forms. 30 tieav j Da e With Pop “POP” Bott was master of ceremonies for the ev- ening.

From left to right are Laura Carr. Dad Carr, Carol Folkman. Marilyn, Pop, and Jackie Summerill. Nearly every co-ed’s calendar had April 22 marked as an important date. Tnat night the pretties took Pop out to dinner and an evening of fun sponsored by La Dianaeda. Annette’s date, Dad Bott, was the vivacious Master of Ceremonies, who dispensed with fatherly advise and kept the party at a fast pace. Here’s part of the crowd that dined at Ma’s and Pa’s at the dads and daughters Banquet. If your best girl wasn’t at home that night, never fear! She was out with Pop! 31 •I LeWers for La6 ci Dena Morelli, this year’s charming Proxy, with her officers. 1. to r., Joanne Milnar, Jean Wilson, Gloria Roc, not pictured, and Beverly Barbiero, gives a few hints to the capable crew for next year.

Mrs. Russell B.

The ballroom was gaily bedecked in spring flowers and streamers at Iota’s success- ful print dress dance, “Spring Frolic.” In La Dianaeda’s enchanted gardens, the music of Joddie Noble and the elaborate decorations blended to make it one of the most successful dances of the year. Also, who else would think of having the ceil- ing fall down when things got dull? Ye gads”. I’m cornered!

VW A d- W A C- W J f c- Weber has a lovely bunch of • - - - of girls who. under the direction of Roland Parry, furnish song, charm, and beauty for various school func- tions. service clubs, and other organizations. The Dorianetts, outfitted by the Rotary Club, have been referred to as a flaming success since the Rotary Christmas party when a lady’s hat caught on fire while they were singing. These girls were the backbone of the Christmas Oratorio and Student Prince” along with the Dorians and took leading parts in both of these presentations. During the Spring quarter when they are not absorbed in these school functions, the Dorianetts make a short concert tour. This year Dorianetts and Dorians are Idaho bound. One of the high- lights of the year is the trip to Grand Canyon and southern Utah. 35 tlomc was never like Th f News from the folks?....Ilene Firth, Elea- nor Slater, and Fawn Wicker gather in the mail—Francis usually beats them to it Let’s not be grabby.

When you enter Bertha Eccles Hall, the calm dig- nified demeanor is shattered by the bubbling en thusiasm of fifteen college coeds who make “Ber- tha’s” their home while attending Weber college. These' fun-loving girls do everything to make life interesting but sleep and study. When Weber’s social clubs aren’t cutting rugs or passing tooth picks in the basement recreation room and when screams, cries and laughter aren’t is- using forth from celler Theater pro- ductions, the girls dim the multi color- ed lights and accompanied by soft mus- ic entertain their special beaux. 7”T ■P - Coming in at two again? 37 “Give me a hand! said Jay to his brawny group of Wildcats....he didn’t need ten of them, though. From left to right: Bill Critchlow (president), Bill Radmall, Bob Bowe, Bob Vowles, Clarence Socwell, Larry Williamsen, Rex Gardiner, Jack Crosley, Walt Summerville, Jay Olsen (adviser), and Arden Coombs (secretary). Revived and reorganized after some years of inactivity, the Wildcat service organization is de- signed to provide male help for any and all ac- tivities presented during the year. These are the boys to thank for saving us those extra quarters and dimes by gaining us student rates for movies. This, and the basketball tourn- aments, boxing matches, the opera, and several plays are among the major activities at which they have ushered or participated. They are now turning the spotlight on another worthy project, that of establishing a change in the lettering on the Ogden bridge. No more ad- vertizing Ogden as the home of the great wild west rodeo but as the home of Weber college. Looks boring doesn't it? But it isn’t! When smoke starts pouring out of Annex I room 101, you know that the International Relation’s members arc blowing their lids again. The club purpose is to bring about an under- standing of issues from the local to the interna- tional level, and plenty of steam is generated in the Thursday meetings. Under the direction of Arvin Shrccve, presi- dent; Frank Merrel, vice president, and Louana Visintiner, secretary; prominent men from var- ious professions have been guest speakers to the club, and several movies have been shown. LOS VIAJEROS Buenos Dias Amigos! Mr. Hancock greets four members of Los V’ajeros to discuss activities. I’d advise you not to get into one of these conversa- tions unless you have taken at least one year of Spanish. From left to right; Warren Allred, Mr. Hancock, Barbara Wellman, Keith Godfray, and Jerry Mordaunt. January II, 1949 is the date the club was ac- tually organized, and the membership has grown from eight to almost twenty since this time. The club played host to all the language students of Weber college and Ogden high at an Internation- al party. They also made an annual trip to “Cord- ova” in Salt Lake for an annual banquet, besides throwing miscellaneous parties about once a month. In fostering better relations between the Mexi- can people in Ogden and the other citizens of the city, V’ajeros has sponsored two movies for Span- ish speaking people. They have also tried to get Mexican speakers to come and talk to them about Mexico. 38 it Happev s a VUeher ENGINEERING CLUB Boulder dam is one of the awesome points visited by the engineers club on their field trip to Calif- ornia. They also visited bridges, buildings, and the Burbank theater, which was of special interest. The Engineers Club of Weber College has been an active club on the campus for more than twenty-three years. There are twenty-five active students in the club this vear. Besides this annual field trip between winter and spring quarters, field trips of a day duration are taken to industries of interest throughout the state such as Geneva Steel and the Bingham Mines. Inc. Club officers are Clair Dearden, president; Glen Taylor, vice president; Don Braden, secre- tary treasurer; and Calvin Brusewitz. historian. GEODISCIPULUS Tracing the route Geodiscipulus will travel on their Rainbow Bridge trip June 3 are Joanne Mil- nar, Jay Donaldson. Mr. Buss, Mr. Lambert, Carol Johnson, and Darrell Johnson are examining a rock. It has been said that Geodiscipulus was organ- ized for those on the campus who have rocks in their heads. Whether this is true or not, the club will look back on a bang up year of success on it’s first birthday. June 3. The Yellowstone trip, summer party, dance, two banquets, Christmas party, business meeting, and weekly paper were all marked off on their calander of events. They also claim the largest membership on the campus, 108. Besides the Rainbow Bridge, Glacier Na- tional Park (a regular field trip) and the North- west (Weber College Summer School) are des- tinations of Geodiscipulus. This active club has made quite a name for it- self. An application to go on field trips was re- ceived from Kansas, and the U.S.A.C. is thinking of organizing a branch of Geodiscipulus because of it’s success at Weber. 39 “Lift that bar, rack that hail!” Soelberg’s bark is worse than his bite--at least Don Ripplinger and Dick Kingston think so. Looking toward the future are Pat Payne, Ed Dean, June Clif- tcn, Dick Slater, Dena Morelli, and Earl Ducrden. “Giddiup!” Bill Crichlow practic- es bronk busting for the rodeo next year. We can’t quite say “mission accomplished,” but we can say we've got a good start. Student recruits have been bending their efforts to make the Weber college dream come true by down-to- earth work. The Wildcat club has been taking a lead in recruiting and organizing the student help. Mem- bers Bob Vowles, Arden Coombs, and Larry Williamsen are directing the project, which includes filling in ditch- es, leveling, planting lawn and shrubbery, moving dirt, or any otner odd iob that needs to be taken care of. The stadium will probably be completed by fall..... although the grass won’t be ready for the football sea- son. A $17,000 contract has already been let to start the grading. The college has applied for a war surplus B-29 hang- er from Wendover air base for use as a field house, which will be one of the finest in the state. Draining of the lower campus, road improvements, application to the board of examiners for a building, and the sprinkling system, have also been among the recent milestones. 40 I I I t All we do is work! work! work!” Peggy Wood and Joan Crawford didn’t add too much in actual work but they certainly bolstered t h c morale.

Hirschi, who began boxing for the first time this year, was barely outpointed dur- ing the second night by Jack Bctterncourt of San Francisco in one of the evening’s top battles. Kalani, exhibiting courage and agress- iveness all the way, was defeated in the final test by Compton’s huge Ed Sanders, who. though lacking skill, was just too big for his earnest Weber opponent. Two Comptonites in the 155 lb. divis- ion staged an exciting fracas as they smashed it out during the third night. Webb, a negro boy, surprised t h e crowd and, especially his opponent.

National Champs. “Hon- ors were well earned after three smashing nights of it.” 42 05 yVviv a with Gardner and Carruth - Baseball sure looks fun.” Coach Mecham gives ’em the word. Winter grabbed more than its share this year. By the first week in May it was still throwing snow and sleet on Ogden and surrounding area, which aside from ruining the fruit crop, caused cancellation of several Weber College baseball games. Even so. to date Weber’s baseball team is full of enthusiasm and what looks like lots of that necessary ability. Any one ob- serving a few practice sessions would very likely agree with Coach Milt Mecham. who thinks Weber has a “good. hustling ball club, likely to give a real account of themselves the moment spring weather gains the upper hand.” Games with S.I.C.E. on the 12th and 13th were postponed, but high hopes were held for a future tilt with Boise on the 18th and 19th. No co n f e r e n ce championship will be held this year,” M� ys Coach Mecham. “only a Southern and Northern division playoff.” Team members are Pitchers - Keith Downs, Sterling Gard- ner, Don Warner, Basil Beech, and Dale Young Catchers - Russell Carruth and Dale Gardner 1st Base - Sterling Gardner 2nd Base - Grant Evans and Tubber O- kuda 3rd Base - Chuck Edison Right field - Monte Frew Center field - Sherman Wayment Left field - Dick Kapp Manager - Jack Andrews 43 Peterson In the words of Coach Ander- son, “We have a good, all-around team with capable men in every event. Stevenson For two years students won- dered whether track had ceased to be a Weber College sport. Their suspicions were allayed, however, when a very able team under Coach Clair Anderson be- gan making good this spring. Numbers may be unlucky for some people, but the track men didn’t mind in the least return- ing from the 37th Annual BYU, Invitational Track and Field Meet, this April, with 13 medals. Other meets held this year, have been practice meets with Ogden and Weber High and a six school meet at Rupert, Idaho. Meets not participated in as of presstime will include: a dual contest with West Minister and the big Conference Meet at West- Minister, in which 10 Jr. Colleges clash for top honors.
