Show JIM FRESTON Our hard-hitting and idealistic sports editor, Jim Freston, took the reins during spring quarter and set a new style in sport-page policy. His realistic columns initiated the "sport-a-torial," made the names of Wildcat competitors familiar to everyone on the campus and gained many supporters for our teams. An ardent fan himself, Jim participated in almost every sport at Weber besides intramurals, making his professional coverage doubly accurate and inclusive. DICK MABEY Staff photographer. Dick Mabey was the top "shutter-bug'' on campus. His informal shots caught many off guard. Dick's style of photography livened up the pages of the Signpost. He was liable to pop up anywhere-rush parties, hen parties, games and dances-and always with his camera. Girls followed him, boys hid from him and the editors looked for him. AUDRI MONTGOMERY Audri Montgomery served as editor for Fall and Winter quarters this year as well as all three quarters last year. She was faced with many obstacles which she ably overcame when she brought the Signpost and her staff to the upper campus. Both quarters, "Little Odd" was in command of the 'Post Office in Building Four,' and her smiling face was a familiar and popular one on the campus. SHARON LARISON Intelligent and conscientious. Sharon Larison became Signpost editor spring quarter. Sharon was very capable in her work. She worked well with others and knew what she wanted. Sharon had many new ideas which livened up the paper and this quality coupled with a willingness to do her best made her first choice for next year's editor. The Signpost, as the official publication of Weber College, has represented every department, club, and activity on the campus to the best of its collective ability. The staff, which was composed of nearly twenty members throughout the year, reached into every room on the campus, looking for news and reporting interesting events to the studentbody. In an attempt to have "something for everyone," a pro-con column was made a regular feature with contributions invited from any interested person. An attempt to establish an editorial policy endorsed by our studentbody was successful and a Letter to the Editor feature helped make the Signpost "yours." Officially representative of the studentbody, the paper was sent to other schools and alumni, recording the events of the school year and reporting our progress on our new campus. The Signpost staff was composed of fourteen reporters, editors Audri Montgomery, Sharon Larison and Jim Freston. advertising manager Audrey Stevens, and photographer Dick Mabey. The laboratory class, held each Thursday, was the backbone of the paper. Assignments were given and handed in on alternate weeks, copy was taken to the printer every other Friday, and the editors spent several hours a week making up pages, planning pictures, and correcting and rewriting stories. It was the desire of the paper staff to please everyone and make the appearance of the Signpost a special event of the week. In addition, they tried to make it effective and interesting in order to gain support of readers who, in turn, supported activities and advertisers. From the staff comes their thanks and, "It's been a pleasure to serve you." Seated left to right: Audrey Stevens, Joan Forsgren, Mariane Johns, Audri Montgomery, Kent Berg, Larene Richards, Tom Qwin.
