Charles Eagle Plume, Indian dancer. The Weber faculty continued to participate in the intramural program fielding teams in most events. An annual feature of the school year was Charm Week usually held during Winter Quarter which was sponsored by the women students of Weber College. As the 1941-1942 school year began, student body president Jack Larsen suggested fund-raising activities to send the Readers Digest to all former Weber students serving in the armed forces. Rex McEntire, sophomore class president, gave several comments to the freshmen for freshmen week: loud clothes must not be worn; all freshmen must own a Weber handbook, must know the songs and yells of the school perfectly, and must wear green beanies; freshmen girls must not expect courtesy from sophomore men; the front door of the Moench building will not be used by any freshmen and all doors must be held open for sophomores; and all freshmen must cultivate respect and consideration for the faculty. Rex McEntire became student body president during the last two quarters of the year as Jack Larsons army unit was called to active duty. The Weber Glee Club sang to Larsen as he left, When Jackie comes marching home, and most of the Weber students gathered in the Weber assembly were teary eyed. Charlene Cross won the Miss Milk Maid of Weber College award as she extracted more milk than any other of the women student contestants in a cow milking contest sponsored by the Phoenix Club and was awarded a gold bracelet for her efforts. Saxon Roush won the same contest a year later in the fall of 1942 milking the prize cow, Hedy Lamar. Leland Monson con-tinued his efforts in forensics by coaching excellent debaters including Maurice Richards, Lamar Buckner, Maurine Duffin, LaRene Jensen, John Dixon, John Vernieu, Donald Taylor, Frank Wahlquist, Wayne Carver, and Roy Gibson. Members of the Orion Club were selected on the basis of their excellence in scholarship and extracurricular activities. On December 8,1941, the day following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Weber College students and faculty met in an assembly and listened to President Franklin Roosevelts speech to Congress. Following the speech Clair Anderson played America the Beautiful, and President Dixon gave a speech to the assembled group stressing the difficulties of the present situation and concluding by saying Pray God that He will help us to do our part. Dixon urged students to think clearly before making important decisions and to consult with parents, instructors, and school administrators. Fifteen faculty committees were organized by the school administration to study issues that were raised by the entry of the United States into the war. Issues that were studied included: possible acceleration in programs for graduation; cooperation in buying war bonds; the establishment of an R.O.T.C. unit; should courses be reoriented to give emphasis to war needs; how should the college participate in defense programs; and what about rising costs and the standard of living. As the war effort increased, other activities continued at the college. The Sociology Club advised by W.C. Neville presented a series of lectures on courtship and marriage: Lydia Tanner on Managing Marriage; William McKay on the Physiology of Marriage; and O. W. Young on Eugenic Considerations in selecting a mate. In 1942, Weber became involved in the training of naval cadets, and also began to offer a radio training program in connection with the Army signal Corps. As the 1942-1943 school year began, it was announced that Henry Aldous Dixon had been elected to the Executive Committee of the American Association of Junior Colleges. Many Weber students continued their education by becoming involved in a military reserve unit or through being granted a deferment. Many of the assemblies during this year involved speakers relating war experiences and battle stories, and some of the speakers were former Weber students who had seen firsthand the war in the Pacific or in Europe. As war efforts increased involving the college, student activities diminished in numbers including fewer plays, fewer debates, and fewer athletic events. After four football games were played, only eight players remained after enlistments and injuries. The rest of the season was cancelled. Most of the basketball games for the season were held on a local basis, and the track season was cancelled. Because of the shortage of men on campus (a ratio of about 5 female students to 1 male), the traditional Sadie Hawkins Day activities during the spring quarter during the war years brought about increased attention as women students dressed in short black skirts and red polka dot blouses and pursued men dressed in bib overalls and heavy hobnail shoes. All men wearing trousers on campus were in a hazardous zone during Sadie Hawkins Day, and faculty men were sometimes captured by zealous Sadie Hawkins. By the time for commencement exercises for the 1942-1943 school year ten Weber students had been killed in the war and five were missing in action. In his commencement address to the graduates, Dr. Adam S. Bennion said: We must live in three dimensions of life - the past, the present, and the future. We must sit down and commune with the great men of the ages; Shakespeare, Bacon, Buddha, and Socrates, and in reference to the war No young man can afford to miss this great adventure. As the curtain of years rolls back, every young man will look on this present either with a feeling of satisfaction or regret. So live that you will be happy in the future. Let God be your guide. Seventy-five students were honored at this commencement compared with 134 the year before. This number included Associate of Arts degrees (12), Associate of Science degrees (49) and Certificates of Completion (14). The number of students honored at Commencement would fall to 51 in June of 1944. As the 1943-1944 school year began, the number of faculty and staff at the College had somewhat stabilized including fifty-nine regular faculty, twenty-seven war production training faculty, thirteen office personnel, eight custodians, and two gym attendants. Early in fall quarter the Signpost listed seventeen Weber alumni who had died fighting in World War II along with six who were missing in action. The 517 students listed as registered for Weber classes included 240 freshmen, sixty-one sophomores, eighty special students, and 136 naval cadets. Student body president Jay (Jennings) Olson suggested that in spite of the decreases in both students and budget, the year would be a greater year than ever, and activities included picnics,
