Show During this time two groups of outstanding Weber students, many of them competing for studentbody offices, were away representing Weber College at major inter-collegiate activities. The Model U.N. Delegation, headed by Larry Bryant, joined other similar delegations at San Diego for the annual session, which ran from April 11-14. The group made fine showings, as did the forensic squads that represented Weber at the annual National Phi Rho Pi Forensic Tournament held at Hutchinson, Kansas. Ann Moesinger and Eileen Grix placed second in women's debate; Corrie Oborn took fourth place in women's oratory; and Dr. Leland H. Monson received a plaque for twenty-eight years of forensic service. It was the second plaque ever awarded by the organization. Weber College received an educational treat when Franz J. Polgar, noted hypnotist and mind-reader, presented a unique and entertaining exhibition entitled, "Fun with the Mind." Polgar has toured many university campuses throughout the nation and continually delights and amazes his audiences with his "supernatural" feats. He is a master showman and entertainer and stands unchallenged in the field of psychic phenomena. Wonders never cease, but Weber students and friends from the surrounding area never cease to wonder how Weber's social units can combine their talents to produce such an entertaining program as the annual Talent Show proved to be. The program is sponsored jointly by A.M.S. and A.W.S. and this year drew over 300 participants from the seven social clubs on campus. The competition was again severe, a first-place victory being regarded as a big plum for a social club. This year's plums went to La Dianaeda and Phoenix, with Sigma and Sharmea in second place. These are but a sampling of the events that climaxed a better-than-typical year at Weber. Many activities such as Bridal Show, the A.W.S. Recognition Banquet, considered by many to be the outstanding banquet of the year, and the W.I.A. Awards Banquet are certainly not to be overlooked; nor are the annual (continued) Weber's social units competed for honors in snow sculpturing and other contests. Theme of the sculpturing contest was "Mother Goose Land." Men's clubs prepare for the snowshoe race at Snow Carnival. Collegiate Promenade and Snow Carnival round off the winter quarter schedule Mr. and Miss Collegiate candidates were, left to right, Dave Vandehei, Ann Nielson, Kathy Leishman, Jean Burnett and Mike Valentine. Jon Jensen was absent. Jon Jensen and Jean Burnett reigned at the Collegiate Promenade. This is probably one of the best evenings Miss Burnett ever had! |
