Show TRANSIT SELECTED AS TYPICAL FROSH COED IS BETTY NELSON, A LAST YEAR'S GRADUATE OF OGDEN HIGH, WHO HERE PAUSES ON HER WAY TO REGISTER AS A HOME ECONOMICS' MAJOR AT WEBER COLLEGE. ASKED HOW SHE HAPPENED TO SELECT WEBER, "OH, I DON'T KNOW," BETTY REPLIED. "I'VE ALWAYS PLANNED TO ATTEND COLLEGE AND WEBER WAS RIGHT HERE IN OGDEN." "HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?" "FINE," SHE REPLIED.

Ogden was a minute village, an appendage of Brigham Young's western empire, when Betty's grandparents settled, and here most of the descendants, including Betty's parents have remained ever since.

She has also been elected sports manager of the Women's Athletic Association, and selected by members of the student council to lead cheers at the basketball games this winter. As you might have guessed if not from the pictures, then from this write-up there is nothing of the introvert about Betty. She attends all of the social events at the school, but prefers not to go "steady" with any one boy-friend. "I like them all," she says simply, if only half-seriously. Your reporter has grave doubts on one score, however. That is the decision of Betty this summer to switch from a contemplated business course to a home economics' major. Well that's as it should be, particularly with "Weber's "typical Frosh coed." TREASURER'S RECEIPT COMPLETES REGISTRATION. 5 |
