4 the battalion CORPS DANCE WAS GREAT SUCCESS—MANY ATTEND (Continued From Page 1) Hymn,” well, the crowd just went wild and College spirit prevailed every where. An intermission was announced about ten thirty o’clock, however, it seemed as though everyone came for the sole purpose of dancing, for it was almost an hour before the music stopped playing. It was then that the birds who brought a swell dame along- walked out with a big smile and look ed at the moonlight or visited Casey’s. The royal, old faithful “Stags”, how ever, had a different expression on their faces as they sat around the wall looking into the open. The dance was soon resumed and everyone waded in for a final good shake before it was time to stop. The end came too soon for about eleven forty-five the music stopped and everyone went home all agreeing that a good time was had by each and everyone. A. & M.

JOE GROGINSKY WHERE QUALITY AND LOW PRICES COUNT LYCEUM COURSE IN FULL SWAY Toots Poka and Her Troup to Be Here on November 18. The Zedler Symphonic Quintet ren dered a splendid program before a large audience of students and Cam pus people last Saturday night. Af ter the concert the musicians attend ed the corps dance and left a very favorable impression at the College. Toots Poka and her famous Ha- waian Troupe will be the next group of artists to appear here. This troup was the first to bring Hawaian music to America and are pointed out by Hawains as the best interpreters of this fascinating music in America. They have produced the majority of the Hawaian records in this country. There are eighteen Toots Paka rec ords now listed in the Victor cata logue. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says: “Toots Paka looks like one of those olive skinned beauties Avhom Robert Louis Stevenson wrote with enthu siasm, one of the idolized girls of the silver sands along Takti of whom Jack London has much to say, or even more, perhaps, like the young ladies who dance on Hawaian feast days. This concert will be given in Guion Hall on Thursday night, November 18 one week before Thanksgiving. Stu dents, Campus residents and Bryan people are looking forward with great anticipation to this opportunity to hear correctly interpreted the music of the “Isles of Melody.” SAILORS AS ACTORS. Perhaps no more realistic setting could be constructed for a play than that which appears in the remark able photograph shown above. The photograph is a complete story and could be correctly titled “Footlights and shadows.” And, as the actor or actress can bring laughter or tears to the faces of the audience, so also can the big guns change from peaceful appearing dormant thinks to living bulwarks, belching forth shot and shell. Surely it’s a picture of contrasts. These shows aboard the ships of the fleet are great sport to the sailor- men. Their clean, healthy bodies shake with laughter at some witty saying or clever skit of some actor. But, it would only take a few notes of the bugle to stop this audience of bluejackets from playing this game for a more serious game; when the stage would be cleared of its—a-ctors, when the great guns would have been elevated to allow the actors freedom of movement would take the center of the stage and usurp the leading role. The United States Navy draws its personnel from no particular calling. Every branch of industry and every profession is represented. It has its quota of men from the theatrical profession, who utilize their ability in an endeavor to amuse their ship mates. They are succeeding remark ably well, if the smiling sailor-men in the photograph can be taken as a criterion. $It is doubtful though, if these actors ever played to such an in teresting audience or upon a stage constructed in the shadows of the mighty guns of a warship. MARSHALL CLUB GIVES BANQUET Last Friday evening, Oct. 15, proved to be a most pleasant and profitable evening for the boys of Ross Hall. The banquet was held in Sbisa Hall, and for the purpose of perfecting the organization of the club. It is re ported that owing to the delicate ap petites of some of the members, it was necessary to make an addition to the evening’s program, namely, a swim ming party, which was given in the Y pool. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: H. W. McGee, president; Pope Lancaster, vice-pres ident; Dick Rosenborough, secretary and treasurer. After the election of officers a very interesting program was rendered by the respective members, the success of which was contributed to the “de licious dishes” placed before them. The club has a membership of twenty-one students: four Seniors, 6 Juniors, 5 Sophomores and 6 Fish, showing an increase of five members over that of the past scholastic year. All students of Harrison county are eligible for membership. The club’s slogan is, “For a Better and Larger Club Each Scholastic Year.” JNO. S.
