WHEN YOU AWAKE — F.T.

Tommy records two excellent

red by his huge following. In me
dium tempo, TWO DREAMS MET,
another four star selection from
“Down Argentine Way,” is meant
only for Tommy’s trombone with
clarinet and muted brass back

Terry Allen sells DANCING ON
A DIME with Clinton woodwinds
and brasses creating a cozy setting
for the cozy dancing about which
Terry sings. This “rock-easy” mel

Assignments Made For
Texas Aggie Entomologist
Official assignments for the ar

Aggie Entomologist, Entomology
club publication, were made at the
regular meeting of the club Thurs
day night.
These topics include work being
done by the alumni of the entomol-
B Chem Warfare, reporter.
Membership in this club is re
stricted to those Aggies living in
Burnet, Lampasas, Llano, San Saba
and Mills Counties. To date only
twenty members have been enrol
led in the club but that number is
expected to double within the next
two weeks.
Plans have been made for a

—F.T. (V.R. Glenn Miller and

YESTERTHOUGHTS—F.T. (V-
R.)
Ray Eberle sings Glenn’s much-
talked-about A HANDFUL OF
STARS (from M-G-M’s “Hullaba
loo”) in the RIGHT tempo—slow
drag. Five woodwinds complement
his voice, and Tex plays a confiden
tially subtone tenor phrase that’s
really sweet. The coupling (an old
Victor Herbert melody with words-
penned by Stanley Adams) moves
a bit brighter, yet slow enough for
Ray to most effectively remind us
of YESTERTHOUGHTS. Miller’s
full chorded arrangements are most
harmonious.

his Fashions-in-Music
THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL
—F.T. (V.R.)
The first is one of the best of
the new crop of ballads, and Mit
chell’s arrangement is quite apro
pos. Tommy Taylor gives the lyrics
loads of sincerity. The other tune,
an Ayres novelty, is cute enough
to appeal to all types of listeners.
