Show SIGNPOST STAFF Ralph Benowitz Editor Ronald Urry Melvin Jennings Frank McQuown Associate Editor Irma Langford George Matsu Thomas McKay Associate Editor Joe Donahue Dick Bailey Artist Phyllis Brown Associate Editor Lettice Orton Elmer Brown For several years there had been a constant demand by the students of Weber College for a medium of direct expression, both opinions and news. Such a medium has materialized this year. It is embodied in the Signpost, which regularly "goes to press" twice a week. Conceived and sponsored by the executive officers of Acorn and Scribulus, this publication has, in one year, grown to be a popular feature of the College. To the faithful staff members, it was: "Signpost first; pleasure afterwards." All the important student news, opinions, scandals, activities, and "wisecracks" were featured in this unique publication. Reading the Signpost be- came a regular part of the students' schedule. Whenever the Signpost failed to appear, the students knew that something was amiss. The Signpost has been instrumental throughout the year in promoting greater interest in school activities and has contributed much to the enlivenment of school spirit. Thatcher Allred Drama Director James Lazenby Business Manager Roland Parry Music Director Fred Stodtmeister Electrician Walter Buss Stage Director Kenneth Betteridge Stage Manager DRAMA AND MUSIC DIRECTORS Thatcher Allred, as head of drama, has contributed much to the achievements of Weber this year with his dramatic productions. He produced the three-act play, The Admirable Crichton, which was acclaimed a huge success by an appreciative audience. In addition, he produced a one-act play, and acted as stage director for the school opera. Roland Parry produced the three-act opera, The Bells of Corneville. This production disclosed the genuine talent of Weber students. It was well received and repaid the effort Mr. Parry had taken with it. Mr. Parry's musical comedy, Honolulu Bound, was also received enthusiastically. In addition, his various vocal and instrumental arrangements have been active in performances about the city. Walter Buss has contributed to the dramatic productions of the year by providing most effective settings. His work was particularly noticeable in the tasteful, harmonizing backgrounds of The Admirable Crichton. He has been aided by Fred Stodtmeister, electrician, and Kenneth Betteridge, assist- ant manager. The business affairs of drama and music were handled by James Lazenby. |
