hilarity with Grant Passey as Uncle Dick, James Fox as Clarence Covington, Charles Ward as Mrs. Livingston, Elmer Broom as Lottie Livingston, and William Taylor as Sammy. "Dwellers in the Dark," as presented in assembly and over radio station KLO, showed excellent ability and preparation on the part of Uarda Owens as Mrs. Viner, Ben Ban Schaar as Mr. Viner, Maurice Berrett as Prof. Erkhart, Jeanette Manning as Phyllis Erkhart, Delmar Weese as Henry, and Gordon Braun as the Ghost. In addition to the plays produced by the students, Weber College sponsored the presentation of "Hamlet," "The Merchant of Venice," and "Romeo and Juliet" by William Thornton, director of the Shakespeare Players of America. The three dramas, enthusiastically received by the people of Ogden, did much toward stimulating the Little Theatre movement in this city, a long cherished Weber objective. MAIDENS' MAZURKA Oh, the eighth day of May was a fine day that was set for the Mother Goose Ball. 'Twas the co-eds who planned it, and asked all male "bandits" to go with them, short, slim, or tall. Each girl had her date and no one was late for the Maidens' Mazurka that night. Now, the fellows looked neat and the girlies were sweet in organdie, soft, dainty, and white. So smiles passed around and nobody frowned-no wall-flowers found in that hall; but violets and daffodils, gay laughing Jacks and Jills, and Humpty who fell off the wall. And after the dance the boys had their chance to eat at the maidens' expense; and they, as the winners, picked out some fine dinners which showed up in dollars and cents. The hour was early when each little girlie left some happy man at the gate . . . then ran fast to her home-night's no time to roam- (when alone, it seems all too late!) By this, you will see, 'twas as nice as could be-that Maidens' Mazurka or ball, where old Mother Goose had set up a truce with Weber to play, one and all. i HE last of the debating teams had no more than straggled in when Coach Stevenson called for spring gridironers. Only a few of the season's veterans reported; for Spring, with its multitude of activities, held them. Most of the athletes were busily engaged in either sitting on the circular staircase with some young lady or drinking milkshakes at the College Inn. Nevertheless, with the aid of Wallace "Dog Ear" Manning, "Steve" managed to find enough men to form a line. From the season's squad, both regulars and substitutes, there were Jimmy Ing, George Zane, John Peterson, Francis McGregor, Don Tracy, and Fred Paoletti; Moroni Heiner and Wheatly Taylor were the only new men. After two weeks of hard practice on a new Tangent Formation, Steve dismissed the players. Although only a few answered his call, he was in an unusually optimistic mood; from all evidences the new formation would be a success, and with three new McKinley backfield men, Chester Dodds, Bill Baker, and Malcolm Paoa, Weber would stand a fair chance of victory next year, not only with the McKinley eleven at Ogden but with the Menlo team in Stanford's famous "Rose Bowl". Reluctantly Steve sprinkled the footballs with moth powder, placed them in a cedar chest, and turned his attention to handball and tennis competition. In the Handball Doubles Tournament sixteen teams participated. Those who survived the first and second eliminations were, Shandon Twomev and Allan Blackford; Durrell Evans and Monteith Wool-ley; Lawrence Whitaker and Parker Woods; Kenneth Abplanalp and Merlon Stevenson. The next round was played and the winners, Twomey and Blackford, Stevenson and Abplanalp, competed for the championship. Patrick Shandon Twomey lost his Irish luck, and Stevenson and Abplanalp won. By this time a fervor for tournaments had invaded the school, and there was immediately started a Tennis Singles contest. At the beginning there were thirty players competing; but by the time the first three rounds had been played, only Fred Schott, James Chadick, Jack Jensen, and Jackson Bell were in the running. Of these four, Chadick and Jensen won out in the semi-finals. The final game, fast and spirited, gave Chadick the championship by a score of 4-6, 6-3, 9-7, and 6-3. Even before the tennis finals were played, there began a contest to determine who was the best single handball player in the college. Tom Grace, Fred Paoletti, Dowain Wright, LeGrand Johns, Leslie Norton, Dale Read, Durrell Evans, James Chadick, Lawrence Whitaker, Clyde Bramwell, Shandon Twomey, Jimmy Ing, Kenneth Abplanalp, Delmar Weese, Gordon Braun, Glen Marston, Horace Faulkner, Parker Woods, Carlyle Farr, Monteith Woolley, Jack Jensen, Dawson Hales, Elmer Gibson, Max Carver, Kent Bramwell; and four instructors, Leland Monson, Charles Osmond, Malcolm Watson, and Merlon Stevenson entered in the joust. A few of the second round games were played, but the contest moved so slowly that many doubted if it would be finished before the school changed hands in May, 1933. The energy of the students in the spring (many instructors doubt if they have any) was not entirely expended in handball and tennis. The election of student body officers for the year 1931-32 aroused not a little interest. There were originally some twenty-two nominees, but a first and second ballot left Charles Chandler and Maurice Berrett as condi-dates for president, Jetta Barker and Jeanette Manning for vice-president, and Frank Davis and Lowell Barker for secretary. The final vote was taken, but as officers were to be revealed at a party in the "Weber Bowl," the results were kept a secret. The election went down in the history of the school as a memorable event, for although two women aided in counting the ballots, there were no disclosures made, and not until the night of the party did anyone know who the officers were. After a few songs and other selections, Dowain presented Maurice to the students; Alice introduced Jetta; Carlyle Farr, with much advice and admonition, sincerely entrusted to Lowell's care fifty cents which somehow had remained in the student-body fund. Lowell received the money with a thankful heart, realizing that in spite of the financial depression the student body did not have a negative bank account. The next important event of the party was the telling of a story of shuddering horror; Mr. Stevenson, with the background of darkness, succeeded in relating the gruesome scenes with some reality, and that night a number were engaged in riding nightmares. After the story some of the students left to The Acorn Staff; Thomas E. McKay; Junior College Champs; "Note That;" Dr. Carver, Alumni President; Our New Officers; "Milkshakes." attend the dance; the rest stayed and enjoyed a bonfire feast. Of other activities, of both mental and physical fatigue, mention might be made of the annual preparation of the Acorn, and of a number of hikes. In spite of the spring-fever epidemic, the staff worked loyally through the warm afternoons. The balmy spring air instilled in Dr. Lind an insatiable thirst for mountain trotting, and almost every day he had his geology students wandering o'er the lee looking" for new species of rock. Many of these young geologists wished that a windstorm-it need not be much stronger than the one recently-would come and blow the mountains into valleys. But they did not go on hiking forever, for the school year drew to a close, and Dr. Lind devoted his time to examinations. After the graduates attended the Baccalaureate exercises and were graciously admitted into Weber's royal family at the Alumni Banquet, they received their diplomas from President Thomas E. McKay of the College Board of Trustees, and united with the freshmen in saying sincerely, "This year, with all its trials, with all its pleasures, has been a true inspiration to us and as we go forth from the friendly institution of Weber, we shall seek for the better things of life."
