Show KAY STOREY BARBARA REEVE If a pretty girl is like a melody, Weber college is a conservatory of music. We boast more beautiful women than you can shake a stick at-if you like to shake sticks at them. The college method is to wave, yell, or, better, whistle. On a beautiful spring day the campus is auditorially similar to a bird preserve. As a rule, the coeds pay little attention to tweeting college boys, but you can't tell us they don't like it. In fact, the whistle has become a sort of tribute to beauty; every mas- culine tweet is to the college girl what a ship was to Helen of Troy. And we can say without exaggeration that most of these have launched a thousand whistles. It's getting so a girl would rather have a man's lips pursed for whistling than for kissing. These, then, are a few of Weber's more successful whistle - inciters - Juliets of the Geewhiz. Obviously they're beautiful; and with every picture goes a guarantee of gratifying intelligence. Look with awe. BARBARA EARLS BEVERLY PETERSON BETTY SMALLEY |
