Show Ruth Peterson Adviser Kay Blaes Merle Sackett Shirley Critchlow President Isabelle Edwards Loraine Baird Doraine Herbert Vice-President Anne Danvers Betty Mae Nelson June Tracy Secretary Ida Smith Vivian Polidor Clara Miller Treasurer Barbara Reeve Barbara Earls Ruth Tolhurst Reporter Edna Loughran Mary Heiner Otyokwa women are noted for beauty, brains, and popularity. Testimony to that effect is the club's political success, furnishing both a vice-president and a secretary of the student body for two consecutive years. And they keep their collars clean. An unbelievable fact about Weber women is that the beauties are intelligent. If you can't take our word for it, we'll prove it with figures (mathematical). The average scholarship rating of these beautiful things below is something over two points, or "B." Since beauty is not so rare as to influence teachers, it must be real scholarship.
