canyon outings, the annual Flaming W hike which included roasting hotdogs, singing, ghost stories, and other campfire activities, a whisker frolic, and a Fun Fiesta which included rollerskating, swimming, badminton, and dancing to the music of the schools new Nickelodeon in the gym. The paper shortage and the student budget this year, like earlier war years did not allow an Acorn to be published, but the Signpost continued throughout the year. The literary magazine Scribulus was published on a sporadic basis. Football was cancelled, and Webers basketball team played mostly local teams including the Hill Field officers, the faculty, the Naval Cadets, and the Clearfield Navy team. A yearly project of the Associated Women of Weber College was the sale of war bonds. All mens clubs disbanded with only one spirit club, the Wildcat Club, to unite the men. This club served as both a social and a service organization. A faculty committee to study post-war planning for the College was appointed in November of 1943 by President Dixon, and one of the suggestions of the committee included the acquisition of land at Snow Basin as a site for an annual summer school. For the next several years, the Snow Basin summer school site was a topic pursued in campus planning. President Dixon said, We want our students to look up to the mountains rather than down 25th Street for their recreation. Following the war, it was reported that 80 acres of Forest Service land in Snow Basin was leased to Weber College. Other suggestions to come out of the post-war planning effort included a close inspection of the current campus master plan, the projected need for dormitory facilities at the end of the war, and the need for a study to meet the changing educational needs of the community. The Naval Cadet training program was closed in August of 1944 with 600 cadets having been trained. By June of 1945, the War Production Training effort was ended. This program had been on the campus for five years, and 23,931 individuals were enrolled in the training programs. Some of these were involved in classes on the campus, while others were trained on-site at Hill Field and other areas. Many of those trained through all aspects of this program at Weber were employed at Hill Field, the Ogden Arsenal, and the Clearfield Naval Supply Depot. The terminal and vocational programs that were begun early in Dixons presidency became an integral part of the College with the war effort. As the College looked toward the post-war period, four groups of potential students were identified: war veterans, defense workers, high school students, and foreign students. In part because of the shortage of men at Weber, the freshmen class presided over by Laurence Burton in January of 1945 sponsored the Polygamist Prance where the women students asked men students for a date and the men could accept as many dates as each could haul to the dance and entertain. Each young man was to show each of his wives a good time and dance with each of them alternately, and the dance proved to be a major success. The College community worked closely through the 1944-1945 school year to suggest to Governor Herbert Maw the need for additional facilities and land to accommodate students when the war ended. Four thousand booklets explaining Weber College were mailed as recruitment tools. A list of eighty-two Weber alumni and faculty was published in the Signpost who had lost their lives in World War II. Several efforts were made by Weber College during and just following the war to have an R.O.T.C. unit be stationed on campus, but not until the 1971-1972 school year was an Army R.O.T.C. unit finally established. Since becoming a state school in 1933, Weber had undergone a number of changes. The school was faced with the difficulties of the depression beginning in 1929 but lasting through the decade of the 1930s, the problems of changing from a church school to a state school, the ever evasive issue of numbers relating to student enrollments, and the changing of college presidents from Aaron Tracy to Leland Creer and then to Henry Aldous Dixon. Weber found stability with Dixon and turned some of its efforts to vocational and terminal programs. Some of these lasted only through the duration of the war, while others would become a basic part of Webers curriculum. World War II changed the institution drastically in terms of enrollments and forced a change in direction toward a more comprehensive college.
