Show President Dixon President Henry Aldous Dixon is the man who is never too busy to advise a bewildered freshman or convince an obstinate sophomore. Aside from being recognized as one of the most efficient educators of the state, Dr. Dixon is respected as a "Champion of Youth." Seven days a week he is found on the campus, and when he is not in his office, teaching a class, playing handball, or catching up on campus chatter, he is enjoying his fine family, delivering an address, or aiding in some civic activity. The entrance of America into war brought many problems to Weber College, and particularly to its chief administrator. Each day saw enrollment drop as students left to join the armed forces and to work in essential defense industries. Despite this addition to the usual quota of problems for the year 1942, many saw the school still going strong, and dedicated to the war effort under the direction of its president. The Four Deans, heads of the administrative groups, perform a mighty task in molding the junior years of the college student. With tact and understanding as tools, they cheerfully carry on their duties. Merlon Stevenson, Dean of Instruction, handles all files, grades, and curricula; Clarisse Hall, Dean of Women, guides students through stifling registrations, presides over the social activities of the A. W. S., and, through her many duties, contacts almost every student in the college; Bob Davis, Adviser of Men, handles them with a kind heart and iron hand, and is the renowned promoter of N. Y. A.; Dr. Robert Clarke skillfully synchronizes national defense, vocational, and college life; Superintendent Chares H. Skidmore doubles his efforts annually as the Utah state junior colleges such as Weber and Carbon set the pace for the Jaycees of the nation in vocational and terminal education. Charles H.
