YOU CAN COME HOME AGAIN By ROY RUSSELL Joes, Jans and alumni members of Weber commenced having the time of their lives early Thursday, October 26, when the Homecoming assembly began at 10:30 a. m. in Moench auditorium, with Don Soelberg, student body president of 1949, as zany, witty and nimble master of ceremonies. The program featured an inspirational and appreciative address by the college president, Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon, in which he expressed gratitude of the students, alumni, parents and himself to the many Ogden civic groups and individual citizens who ardently supported the new school and campus. He pointed to the great assistance received in obtaining the more than a million dollars for the already partially begun new college, including grounds and buildings. Some of those who were instrumental in securing the badly needed funds were guests at the assembly. Dr. Dixon also lucidly explained next steps in providing buildings and other developments for the new campus. Following the principal speaker, the program included a series of talented numbers by the alumni. It was concluded by a talk by George Larkin, alumni president. The theme, "Time of Our Lives," became increasingly well justified as the events of the day continued to unfold and offered new excitement and laughs to everyone. Large scale pageantry and bubbling enthusiasm entered the celebration scene when approximately a dozen of the college social clubs provided entries for one of the longest and most decorative and unique parades ever staged by the college. Cash awards were offered to the three most attractive floats and another money prize went to the winning novelty float. Judging was done by Ogden business men and women. A loud speaker had been placed strategically in front of the Egyptian theater and the theme of each float and its sponsoring organization were given mention as the entries passed down Washington. Queen contestants were driven in beautiful new cars at the courtesy of local car dealers. In the evening the victorious Wildcat football squad defeated Clark College of Washington State in a spectacular homecoming game, to contribute added morale to the hearts of students and alumni and friends of the college. The game was the climax of the day's activities. Marlene Barnett, homecoming queen, was presented as the "Gal of Your Life," with her attendants, Shirley Gigliotti and Marilyn Jones, during halftime. The college band played and executed precision drills on the field and winning floats went on display. Otyokwa entry won first, depicting life at Weber College as a carnival, thus declaring that college holds some reason- able amount of social activity which makes study and learning something more than a lot of hard work. Freshman class won second place with a reminder of the game in "Hold That Line." Whip club came to the top triumphantly for recognition with the most novel entry. When the football game was over and Weber had won, activities were brought to a conclusion in a quiet informal "Alumni Chat" at the, Bertha Eccles hall. Weber College's alumni association vice president, Beverly Felt Olsen, presided; with alumni president George Larkin, LaVon Lake, Fred Foulger and President Dixon and his wife, and other affiliated alumni members in charge, present on the receiving line. The "chat," designed to reacquaint old friends and arouse new and Page 12 continued interest in the life of the college graduates concerning the college they once attended, is becoming a distinguished part of annual homecoming festivities. The homecoming dance, also an outstanding annual affair, was feted with a sizable crowd the following evening in the college ballroom, under direction of the student body social committee. The ball affirmed iself in grand manner, to be a success and meritorious as a satisfying closing of the 1950 homecoming observance, with all participants having had the "Time of Their Lives." The congratulations and handshakes for a job more than well done go to the chairmen of the committees of those who worked so industriously on the committees to make 1950 homecoming the best yet. The interest, spirit, and hard work shown to contribute to the final success of the day came from Glen Taylor, who was acting student chairman of the homecoming committee; Ann Rasmussen, who as publicity chairman, aroused the great fervor of interest that was a part of the day; Norman Burton, who arranged for the parade as parade chairman; and Pat Olsen, who was chairman of the queen committee. From the sidelines, the boys drooled as queen contestants passed for observation in the parade. Marilyn Sessions, Gloria Pratt, Clarice Williams, Zelda Jensen, Jean Taylor, Ann Lund, Carol Jean Shaum, Janis Ja-cobson, Carolyn Torgeson, and Joyce Lundgreen were on hand for the many fun-making hoots and cheers they received.
